The deck fillers for diesel and water are fitted and the forward mast partners fitting is completed and pre-drilled. The top step of the fancy new companionway steps is fabricated and I buy a DeWALT orbital sander :-) 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.

we see it all in black and white

and painted all so recently

[Music]

[Music]

soon we'll see what

[Music]

hi all i'm tony this is esp de patria

we're building a cruising sailboat and

this week has been

all about several things actually um

you'll remember

that last time we cut holes for the deck

fillers for the diesel tank and the

water tank

as you diesel tank and water tank um

got the filler caps fitted sealed in

uh that was well for the diesel filler

on the after that was easy enough but

for the water

filler had to go into the filler pipe

that i'd already had in place that was a

bit of a struggle but but we got it in

kerry and i did that together so that's

in

done quite a lot of work on the mast

fitting and

drilled the holes in the forward deck

ready to

ready to fill again drill again and then

fit the thing

um worked quite a bit on the

companionway stairs as well the first

stair is pretty much ready to go now

and other than that there's been a lot

of ordering a lot of thinking through

um interior is is getting close to being

finished and

close you know i think i said that last

week didn't i

i've ordered some hardwood for the sole

cabin seoul so that's on its way and one

or two other bits the chimney for the

stove is ordered

plus a control unit for that so

things are coming that will be that will

be needed

to finish off in here and it's quite

exciting

let's have a look shall we

[Music]

[Applause]

hmm

it's supposed to go in there like that

they look pretty good

just drop that in there

right around which is going to be

somewhere like that

put our screw through

all there

slowly it's faster sometimes doesn't it

okay that's that bit ready

it's coming in

[Applause]

then

[Music]

[Applause]

part of the shot

[Music]

uh

[Music]

so i'm gonna pretend to drill this one

now

so yeah

[Applause]

[Music]

in the middle

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

is

[Applause]

TRUE

[Music]

[Applause]

uh

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

ugh

[Applause]

hey

[Music]

so

and here it is it's a polish up

but um that'll be going on this week i'm

quite pleased with it

it's quite substantial strong these lugs

are a good size obviously webs that

support the whole structure but they

double up

they've also got nice big holes so you

can fix a

shackle to them and a block or whatever

it is you wish to fix to

also make a good fixing for a for a

webbing or a rope

for clipping lifelines onto so anything

that needs

a stable fixing those are ideal for and

the junk has rather a lot of lines that

control the sails so

you need quite a lot of blocks at the

bottom of the mast so that's the

thinking there

it looks good some of my worlds are

better than others

some look great some could be better but

there you go

done should be fitting that

but those of you who know me will know

that i use quite a lot of

bosch tools a lot of these bosch tools

12 volt rechargeables and generally i'm

very happy with them that

i think i find them you know to be a

reasonable standard for their money

um yeah and they work fine you know what

you're getting pretty much

but i've got something to say and

in the unlikely event of the people of

bosch listening to this

take heed the orbital sander the bosch

orbital sander

i've been using these different models i

think i've owned three of them

i've been using them since the early

1990s

and i've always been very happy with

them until recently

and you know there are a few maintenance

things you have to do to these things

the bearings in the shaft go sometimes

this one's got a bit of play

but the biggest thing you have to do as

you may well know is change that

hook and eye velcro pad because they

wear out

um but as i say i've been using them for

decades

they generally last very a long time

these hook-and-eye pads

but recently i've noticed the standard

has got worse

i it's my opinion at least that the

standards have got worse

standard has got worse and uh

now even with a new hook and ipad it

seems to me that they're only lasting

a short while before you're sanding away

and the pad flies off

and that's a bit frustrating because

you know the pads themselves are not

cheap so

i've taken the plunge and

bought

a dewalt and so far i have to say

i'm happy with it early days but um it's

runs much smoother than the bosch that i

can certainly say

we'll see how the how the longevity is

how it stands up to

for use and abuse let's face it

but that is a pretty good bit of hook

and eye isn't it impressive

[Applause]

that's quite good

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause]

so

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

um

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

now

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

and us to there

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

okay so that goes on

it's okay

[Applause]

[Applause]

that's good

[Applause]

yeah that's okay i think

and here's a that's top step as it is

so far ready to go in now

um good solid bit of recycled mahogany

should put a bit of non-slip on the top

obviously but on ship

but yeah it's come out well please for

that and the second step will also be a

bit of recycled mahogany so

that's still to come that's it for this

week
