do NOT feel bad about a third week of sanding. As Aladino says, "It's in the prep work!" I'm here for the project! I will be super sad when it's over

[Scarf.]

The best part of watching you sand is enjoying the fact that I’m not having to do it!

[kentmehl]

To help understand about watching someone sand: I HATE sanding. BUT watching someone else sand does my heart good. I can sit back and reflect (meditate) on how I'm NOT sanding. 😆😃😊

[paraweir]

It's not that I enjoy sanding, it's that I enjoy watching a professional make an excellent product.

[BulletproofPastor]

The best part of watching you sand... is that it's YOU and not me.

[jossmaxwell]

Thank goods all that sanding is done. My monitor has to be throughly cleaned after each episode of Duracell sanding, not to mention my desk, the dust just gets everywhere. Well done Matt.

[bobjohnson]

In a few days I will be 76. Over my lifetime I have built many Homes, Shopping centers, a few boats, custom cars and sixteen or seventeen custom three wheeled motorcycles. There is always the mondain and tedious part. I have been watching you and your family working on Duracell from the begging. Good is not good enough. You always strive for perfection. Perfection is something to strive for but not always achieved. That is what is see in your work and have admired it greatly. Thant you so much. Keep up the great work, certainly when it is the mondain part.

[CourteousBarbarian]

I find that watching the detailed prep work has encouraged me to accept that proper prep is the only way to achieve good outcomes. You have helped normalize patience! I have many rushed projects that stare me down years later😢

[tmossberg]

It’s not like we actually watch you sand for three weeks straight
The reason we enjoy it is we like to see people who are working on a project like this and work very hard it’s admirable

[michaelhaardt]

Sanding is all about the result and you present that in the most entertaining way of compressing many hours into just a few minutes. Anybody who has ever done tasks as monotonous as sanding all day long will absolutely enjoy getting the result like that. After a day like that, you finally switch of the tools, look and nod at the work done, and leave the construction place with a feeling of silent satisfaction. You transfer that feeling without the viewer having to bear the day itself.

For many of your subscribers who’ve watched from the beginning, like me, we’re invested in the process so watching the sanding is all part of it.
Awesome stuff as always.
Cheers

I don’t know what the sandpaper manufacturers would do without the hard working yacht boat building communities. Looks so good.

[aarondodge]

It's so comforting because it's not me. Press on with the glorious sanding. The progress is nice to watch.

[TotalBoat]

It's so important to take your time to make sure all the fiberglassing is done well before painting. Even if that means slowing the project down. Helps prevent any future problems from forming :)

[gavinferguson]

as long as its someone else glorious sanding is very relaxing to watch

[jmccabe]

Sir you’re the Bob Ross of boat construction. Easy to watch. Enjoyed the sanding music it was good work background

[andrewmoylan]

Some people might not like all this 'glorious Sanding'. However, it just means you're getting closer to finishing your dream, Matt and Janni.All good crew.

[lamborghiniregistry]

It’s good to show the sanding and sweeping and wiping and sanding again. It comes with the project. For anyone in love with the idea of taking on building their own boat this is what is waiting in their future at least for part of the build. Thankfully we only have to watch for 15 minutes. I love it when you do the voice over Q&As and other explanations while we watch the sanding

[sundownerbuild]

I like watching you sand because it's not me doing it! And it is nice to see the progress and how it will look all done.

[forresta]

no news, no commitment to extreme emotion, just sanding. a break from the constant blast of outrage. thank you.
