Progress on the cabin sole and I build a new work bench in preparation for the rudder construction. Thoughts are also turning towards the keel.... This is the story of the building of a Jay Benford designed, 31.8ft, junk schooner-rigged cruising sailboat. The videos are a week-by-week record of the build as it progresses and aim to show as much detail as possible of the various aspects of the build. These videos take a lot of time and effort to make, in what is already a time-intensive project. Your support in watching, subscribing and sharing these videos is very much appreciated.

hi it's badger i'm tony we're

building a cruising sailboat

and there she is

and we're at a stage in the build now

where things are

always interesting aren't they but we're

about to transition into a new stage of

the build

i'm afraid they've got some builders

next door so you might hear some of

their noise but

um yeah so thinking about planning

organizing organizing the next stage and

that is

some very exciting things we're talking

about keel

we're talking about masts we're talking

about rudder

plus railings and the solar arch

those are the what i see has been the

next stage and they're

we're just starting on those now clearly

got a few bits of finishing off to do

inside and around about but

those are things that are coming up very

exciting

as i've told you before we should

probably be pulling her forwards a bit

no not probably we will be pulling her

forwards a bit

um a few meters forwards and that is

gonna happen very soon now in the next

couple of weeks i suspect

but we've got some other big bits coming

up i should tell you about them

yeah but before we do that a couple of

things

couple of questions from last week and

i'll show you this

pipe threading kit and uh that's one of

the dies from the pipe threading kit

now these cut a bsp a tapered bsp

thread so questions were why was i

turning those teeth around

these dyes are made that this part is

just the guide

the teeth only are that much of the die

and this section is just a guide so it's

designed to go over the pipe

guide it onto there and then cut

thread on the pipe and remember a

tapered thread

that means that the start of it

in there is a bigger diameter than the

end of it here

but you remember last week i was cutting

on a very short piece of brass pipe and

when i screwed it in there it

disappeared completely into the die so

there's no way of holding it

so what i had to do was take the top off

turn the teeth upside down

so that the bigger diameter was on this

side and the smaller diameter in there

and also they're numbered these teeth

one two three four so when you turn them

upside down you have to swap

two of them over to get the order right

but that way i could cut the thread that

way around without the guide section but

i could get on

i could hold that short length of pipe

and cut a thread

so that was why i did that i hope that

answers the question

so this week's mainly been about

continuing with the cabin soul

working on those boards is the next

section of the board

this one's got uh five groups of

violence on

and with these boards the important

thing is to to make sure that the

the the short strips line up a thought

ship

and a parallel midship on the larger

boards it's important that the the

strips are centralized on the center

line i draw a center line up in the

middle of those boards

then just glue them on fill them sand

them back

and varnish them and it's it's a time

consuming business

basically you get one coat of bunch on

per day

and i'm building up seven coats on there

the first coat is thin

50 50 after that there at full strength

seven coats in total but that one's

nearly done

five coats as i say on there two to come

but as i said earlier some big things

being thought about

um two big things in progress i'm

planning the rudder

um i said planning obviously the boat

plans come with a rudder design but

there are

various opinions from other builders of

these boats about changes to that rather

so i'm trying to come up with a you know

a rudder that i think will work for me

it's based on mr benford's design

but takes into account the other

thoughts

and to do that you remember i had this

bench here there was there was a couple

of

may not know but it was a couple of saw

horses ancient sawhorses

they were actually in this house when we

came here

and they didn't they had a slight twist

and they weren't quite in line

and for the rudder it's essential that

it's straight

um so first thing i did was to build

this

table here this bench table whatever

so

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

um

[Applause]

alright

[Applause]

[Applause]

uh

[Music]

this is based very much on the design

that i saw leo

tully hoe using clearly a much much

smaller version but

built this up so it's nice and inline

level

i had uh just built out a strapwood that

i had laid about

some red red pine that left over from

when i got the

stairs in the house

and some other boards this time really

well it's good stable strong

table workbench and the board as you see

can be laid on or not i may cut a bigger

board

but as you wish so it's quite handy for

working on

and then kerry and i if you walk up here

this may not look very exciting but

this is four sheets of

15 millimeter ply

which is mainly for the rudder mainly

for the rudder

i've got four sheets of 15 millimeter so

it's the start of the rudder one of them

you'll notice is smaller

we cut that down so that it fits in the

base of our little trailer

and the trailer the base is perhaps not

in the best of condition it's still

solid but

i wanted to reinforce it because all

being well

this weekend coming up terry and i are

going to take a drive

to pick up the lead for the kill and

we've got to pick up a tunnel lead

and i wanted the trailer to be up to the

shop so we've cut that one down

it fits perfectly in the trailer and

then later on it'll be also used for the

rudder

and behind me kerry see one more piece

a bit of 12 mil board and this is being

used for

a couple of things cutting the floor the

cabin sole

boards that i wasn't happy with the

layout of it's there and also

i'm going to make the engine room door

panel

hatch out of it so that's there

and being used

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

so

uh

so

yeah well in the process of advancing

the floorboards

they're coming on very well i think this

board here has just had

one coat of thinned the first coat of

thin

varnish on there these

over this way

are basically finished now so looking

very good i think

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

is

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

so

[Music]

ah

[Music]

my

[Music]

and the other big news of the week is

i said we're going to take a run it's

actually an international drive up to

people are led up

and yesterday i had my first trainer

virus vaccine my arms a bit sore

and in order to take this international

drive later on kerry and i have got to

go and get

um tests negative tests and we'll see

at the vaccine yesterday we'll see if i

managed to get a negative test

if not we won't be going up to get the

lead this weekend but we'll see how it

goes

that's it for now thanks for watching

see you next time

hopefully with a pile of lead see you

there

and i can now quite categorically tell

you that uh

you cannot get a negative coving test

the day after you wrote your

vaccination not really a surprise in

fact

not within 10 days so the lead picking

up trip we'll have to wait

put it back a couple of weeks and uh oh

we'll get it
