hi I'm Doug behind me a sailing vessel seeker built here from scratch in Tulsa
Oklahoma and we are in the process of sandblasting her still figure ever want
to sandblast and have a lot of fun do it over your head okay there's nothing more
invigorating than having a SAN shower come back down on you and then something
unusual happens just drawing to take a dampen the compressor and not to believe
this system mechanic is running better and then I noticed hey yeah those houses
aren't connected to anything and that's where an inspector should be and after a
short search hey there is our injector hey we were told these things were hard
to get out of there apparently sometimes they just come out on their own so now
the question is here is why this thing did this and we really don't have an
explanation as to why we've been advised to check the valves to make sure that
the exhaust valve is opening up so maybe you know the bow is not opening maybe
the cylinders getting too much pressure sounds potentially promising but it was
running so good right until it did that I can't imagine that the valve broken
the and the injector blew at the same moment that perhaps we got a better view
of it now there's the injector and there's the hole the injector goes into
all goes in like that there's the fuel line that broke off the high-pressure
one of these are just the return lines every injector the fuel that doesn't use
gets sent back in and that's what this rail here is just in a return line rail
so I need view gaskets for their need a new line for this piece of it and maybe
the injectors okay everything else is okay but the real trick is we got to get
that bolt out of there now because that bolt right there is what was holding the
whole thing in and Bart found the other part of it there it is oh just sheared
crap from getting in there I'm gonna keep something eat away from
it and this gets welded right to there
now tighten up in ain't lose that was the boat the boat was wrinkling that's
just this know that our bolt by bolt zipping it at us - pod - we'll get a
wrench with it now see it pull the rocker cover off just take a look in
here make sure everything looks alright
I keep telling people that are wanting to come by work on the boat that we
don't have any welding left with sandblasting is like finding welding to
do this is Carl yeah the part that I never did finish welding was right
underneath here but we're gonna so we're gonna put a real small lightweight weld
in we're gonna you know what maybe I'll grind some of this paint away because
this is a lot of zinc in this stuff so do the other side first and I'll grind
this side for you cold this kind of weld in there because we don't want to
distort the trout it's round now we went around you just recently graduated
Welding school yeah we might get a break with rain today this painting Alexa
current humidity right now the humidity is 95 percent oh my god
we're all paying if it gets down to 65 percent it comes out there the problem
is to dump the water right on through the exhaust so we're loving on a little
quarter inch around to come down and that'll bring the water down to this man
so when it gets a little bit of water miss exhaust Oh does it keep from
putting a stain down the side of the boat works dirt rolls off when it rains
you know I didn't think we'd be doing things like this you know project group
egg if you watch them if you're building a boat or you should watch them I watch
them they're refitting a steel trawler they have a philosophy of a top - it's
called cutting around which it really is you know do the essentials and get the
boat in the water and I looked at that and I I like that idea you know being in
the water is a wonderful idea and I thought it well do that too I can get in
the water and I can finish a lot of stuff out but it's really easier to do
it here on land for my sake so I'm going to stick with I don't know what I'm
gonna call it guys come up with a name for it it's not cut and run it's it's uh
get it all done slow and drag your ass maybe but the idea is you know the
materials are here the work is when ship is here the boats here and you know we
can well things on like this before we get it painted so I've decided okay you
know what I thought could wait until the water we'll probably just do it now
has about much more completely when she finally ends up on the water which is a
different philosophy it's not a better one or worse one it's just different it
reminds me of that old joke of you know there's two Bulls standing up on the
hill looking down at the cows you probably know the joke oh you can't take
well these are our exhaust pipe Dave got us to start on this we're going to
finish her up today putting a little turn and down here by cutting up pie
shape wedge out of it and then the pie is gonna be using the splice too
we're gonna add an aluminium to the side of this hatch lid now keep the water
from the side of it and then down into the boat
I said I'll have to run off the front and back same thing for this hatch back
here
the second eyes big glued back together I'm so glad I did not build a boat out
of part of glass yeah I love it for repairs but God vote I'm sorry Ross but
my father calls now
I love it where the Sun has come out is drying up I have wrapped the exhaust
pipe in paper so I'm ready to shoot paint in the morning and I'll just have
a couple more wells to close that beautiful piece up I think he decided
maybe fewer cuts next time he said yes underneath the hood I could hear him
it's gorgeous in any case there's beautiful work and he's looking for a
gig building motorcycle frames or stock car frames or that kind of stuff so he
kind of lead leave a comment what this is is a technique shown by Lee strike
he's came by here and helped us out and told how he did his exhaust up on the
North East fishing boats so it's cut off in an angle that gets some of the rain
from collecting into it and then you put slits in and dent the metal in and that
lets the rain come out to be another one and another one
progressively smaller on down the pipe and then the last one is a hole drilled
in the bottom of this pipe where it connects onto and a little welding dike
back behind that hole so it creates a little bit turi so that'll be the last
place water goes out I mean if anything makes it on down past that we're in a
lot of trouble but even then there's a condensation trap in the engine room
with a valid we can open up and that water out we know there's water in there
daddy so there it is easy simple check these out you heard came by baby they're
parts of the ship wheel they say a little T long as we put France and paint
one half the rudder done this colt our epoxy going on four inch nap roller in
it they use the texture on there hmm that's all turn to black the hottest
part of the day and Kyle finish the forward hatch beautiful job on that so
that should keep a lot of water out you can put a little swirly pattern on it
another rain storm last night but at clear morning today humidity is on the
way down putting a fuel line that arrived John Deere this morning and we
dropped my heart rate and picked up some new sprayers apparently I am not good
enough at cleaning these up because man they've gone to hell me they work five
or six times but then the progress will be a little worse I'm gonna try this one
a gravity feed one this is great this is only a 10 buck gun
that was good yeah I tell you what I like having crane and there's makes life
so much
now what we're doing is we're tying the pilothouse to the davon ones that the
pilothouse they're how you like to look at it either way they'll share a load
and we took advantage of the opportunity it rolled on some coal tar here man is
left with really sharp spikes but just running a border piece of wood over it
is enough to knock them down and you're running a sander over it you get this
and this is what we're going to do or bottom with we're going to sand it down
we're going to use copper coat copper coat is a copper dust add it to an epoxy
you put four coats of it on all has to be done in one day so we'll do it
quarters mat it's over its sale life on YouTube fantastically beautiful project
if you like pretty and nicely done Vaz is your guy for that and he used
copper coat on his boat also the the clipper race boats they use it and
they've done a fantastic job and they sail around the Southern Oceans and
copper coat did would beautiful for them and another one is the golden globe
boats I don't think any of those had copper coating on them and man they have
antifouling promise galore you know because they're going through tropical
waters and they're going very cold waters and the stuff that they have out
there today it's just not as good this copper coat is copper that doesn't
integrate into the water it didn't dissolve it stays hard on the boat you
gotta get out to subscribe your boater or once a while but it lasts for ten
years so it's expensive but it gives you that that ten years of having a good
protective bottle and I've got something else to show you here right there it is
alright I hate this gun okay it clogged up it's grayed out the top
maybe it's a good gun it's only ten bucks is what we got over from Harbor
Freight but it did not do well with this heavy zinc paint so yeah I'm taking the
others back
well this is the week for compressor problems listen to this
should be hissing air like that and it's pretty easy to find leaking out of the
head gasps you're right there so we'll just have to pull it off put a new head
gasket on I think I've even done this before so that's the pressure line this
is just the sensor line well that's loose even okay well the
bottom gaskets okay but it's got another one in there that's leaking you actually
see it blowing out right there I mean start yanking bolts out of a head make
sure they're all the same length you got a weird run in there you need to
know about it yes gasket as brittle as can be
and we came back from the auto parts store with no rubber cellulose sheet
this stuff and tan fiber sheet that's very descriptive because it's because
it's tan it's a little thinner I got that that gray stuff is what I used last
time and obviously it didn't hold up very well so tell me what your favorite
no sheet is and it will give that a try next time and you can always remember
you know if you got some lady around with a Gucci bag that leather works
really good and so does other things like you know vinyl off seats you know
the back of a notebook there's all kinds of things an emergency good gasket now
with an impression you just go to cutting
it just helps hold a gasket in place you don't really have to have it
yeah
alright this is our for sale yard I think use it as a crane today
the debits are down so we can sandblast and paint them eventually I learned
something about my ink thing today the chart about pot life only goes up the 90
degree were over a hundred degrees I think only had like 40 minutes of pot
life so I lost half a gallon of paint that it just became molasses and we
wouldn't pick up another 3,000 pound bag of sand and that we threw the belt on
the Bart's truck and blew out his radiators we spent the afternoon
replacing that hard to do Kyle's get it returning your ants - good
girl tomorrow gonna miss Kyle I'll tell you what if you want to raise a kid
right do it Kyle's parents ways am I gonna be
bearish you a little bit I'm gonna embarrass you a little bit okay let them
go out and plant tree houses let them work on the farm that embel hey them do
all those things that are risky and hot and sweaty and then send them to school
for welding you will have a well-rounded worker okay he has been fantastic to be
here seriously if you had a job for him that involves maybe building motorcycles
or rods or custom stuff he's fantastic I just said I need that done he goes off
and does it it gets done it's beautiful okay there aren't many like this anymore
okay pick him up when you can next time you come back I want to see a pretty
custom ride not this silver wing this is like something I would drive
which is a sunsetting stand Nancy tell me when you go into the decisively
what's your destination tell me about we can move together where
adventures about running three
days such as
and bridges and sunset I'm Charlie waters bound breaking through to this
and kept you fella ground just go and you'll find out why don't we see there
don't blip worries but you told me that you don't care
such as
using
what comes next
you
