hi i'm doug and welcome to sailing vessel seeker hi i'm doug welcome to salem vessel
seeker hi i'm doug welcome to sailing vessel seeker the boat the internet built
all right so front bottom back if we weld up this and this fit either one of these faces that'd be
okay yeah because then you're going to be able to get the spool gun in to do the bottom on that face
that one's better oh oh yeah beautiful i don't use one on the right because the gun's back coming off
you always put a tack at the end because there's nowhere for the heat to go all of a sudden
okay so put attack there and then come up to your attack all right ducks we're either gonna have to
lap this up on the front or we're gonna have to cut down a fair amount of this i'll cut it
you want to cut it yep you want to fill it you want to fill that valley
all right i'm going to let you use your table saw again that's not my
that's great if you don't know him this is richard day from 42 fab he actually has a little bit of
welding experience a little bit not a lot of luna no not really we're doing a little bit more but
yeah i'd say i've probably done as much as i did on your tender in the rest of my experience put
together yeah that was a lot of welding that was a lot of welding i was up in that hole for
quite a while yeah everybody had archive that weekend uh he does uh signage and uh kit welder if
you're starting off as a welder and you wanna as you don't know what to weld he sells kits so you
can go down to harper freight buy the the 100 wire welder or the stick welder preferably the wire
yeah the wires some of the some of them are the 10 gauge kits we do you can do with the stick welder
yeah yeah totally good too i guess figure out the welder you want get a kit from richard and
you're in business weld it yourself kits.com nice plug always be plugged always be plugging
they're on the water chest that's great i don't see it dripping anywhere
yeah this is gonna why'd you make today right bob made a cake
what did you make today well here it is yeah you're going to visit us on saturdays
yeah that's a wonderful gift to bring okay it's very manly cake lovely okay i'll take a pink cake
i don't care so if you want to come see the boat please do it on saturdays between 10 and 1 and
if you're here too late then you're buying tacos okay any saturday any saturday with decent weather
and richard day is going to make pieces out of our pieces these are the bulwarks the cutoffs
from the top of the boat they've been on that pile oh for years now but the top of the boat up
there where we trimmed it off before putting the bowl works on any pieces of the bull worker there
so if you're looking for an official sv seeker souvenir that's the steel
it's going to get made out of i guess what you get for stand too late to the visitor
i don't even know what's up huh what are we doing why am i on camera what's up
everybody love yourself kid start calling calling rescue feature for a discount
yeah right there then the table will come right over the top of it
i like it like that yeah looks industrial yeah
so that's it so when you weld you know weld a little bit
move on somewhere else let it cool down come back start welding and they get going pretty good
and it gets too hot and they get and it blows through and then they don't know what happens
see how cool that is all right let's finish it up
you know we could just ignore the gap
and as we tighten down the screws it'll just pull the fitting back in closer tighter to the wall
but that's that'll work all right yeah that'll work fine
all right there we go welded in all right okay so right here yeah oh ready yeah go
oh we didn't move the ground oh this faulty arm weld it
let me hold it yeah you think about it i'm happy okay so whenever you're ready all right going
got it yep ah you were good shut that can't hold that oh that looks nice
i'm all about the knives come on back the other side give me another one going
yeah not as quite as good as the first one but we'll take it great
is it good though is it down yeah yeah see that's a cold start right there but it got digging in
nicely there this one was just beautiful she had a cold start right at the beginning where
you want it but that's because this is the edge so it takes the heat really quickly a beautiful
little tack so what do you think about welding it was easier than i thought it was going to be
i think it's like me where i don't know what i don't know and that's what i'm most
hesitant about well what i love about you is you're out here learning it too
so happy for the opportunity oh good all done i have to think
