FYI For you safety never stand on the right side of the saw. You should always be on the left side of the saw with the wood on your right side. If the wood jams between the fence and the saw it will kickback faster than you can get out of the way.

You know no one else would put this much detail into rehabbing a boat. The K & D 36 special will be one hell of a boat.

Many yrs ago {1970"s) I was in the US Coast Guard and stationed in Hampton bays NY. It was winter so we were rebuilding one of our boats. It was a 32 ft fiberglass search and rescue boat. Someone suggested that we should fill all of the compartments with expanding foam while we were replacing the soft deck. We purchased 2 1gal cans of this expanding foam. Both cans were poured into a large trash can and then it happened. Foam, Lots of very sticky and hot foam. all compartment got their ration of liquid. Over the next 15 mins of sheer panic, we had to find snow shovels, rags and anything else to stop the wave of expanding foam. A 1/2 hr later we finally had a breather. All of us had foam in our hair and clothes boots etc. Around the outside of the boat was foam stuck to everything. Ahh....memories!

Probably overcautious, but I would stand to the side of the saw blade instead of behind it, and get used to using a pusher instead of using my hands.

Nice. That's a perfect use for that foam. It's lightweight, fills completely and easy to work with. However, if the foam is left exposed to water constantly it can start to absorb some water. The fiberglass and epoxy will definitely help, but just like the fiberglass covered balsa on your boat, water can find a way in. The big difference is that the deck is exposed to the weather 24/7 and your bilge should be empty 99.999% of the time. So if the foam ever does absorb water, you have MUCH bigger issues than wet foam.

It’s hard to believe that you can make this stuff interesting enough for a video… but there you are killing it ❤

[StuartRiley]

This is going to be such a solid blue water boat. What a wonder for us to see the full step to build it properly. And what a bonus it is for you that it’s all filmed, so when it inevitably breaks (because it’s a boat and we all know it will), you have video references so you can’t forget how you built that thing you forgot

Hi, if anybody is watching you use the Bog, or thickened resin it looks like you were only using colloidal silica, a product that only increases the viscosity until it is thick (but no strength).
But I did not see you adding the important additional ingredient that is about 25% -50% milled fibers. This filler adds strength to the resin ( polyester or VE) and reduces the shrinkage. Without this the ‘Bog’ can crack when used in thick sections.
FYI most boat factories use premade versions ( like total boat structural putty) or they make it themselves the day before. And then catalyze small batches as required from the premade mix. By pre making you insure the additives are properly wet out so less chance of small air voids.
Epoxy resins have different properties and requirements.
There are also various formulations for different applications .
Cheers Warren

I've been watching for years. Due to health I live vicariously through you, the boat work and travels. Thank you so much.

[wallykramer]

Kika is so adorable in everything she does!

[Coleen-Love]

Bilge is coming along very nicely. Gotta love this sailboat.! Can't wait to see what it becomes when done.

[Brandin_Sullivan]

2:20ish, I’m guessing the background song being played is in the key of E, and the pitch from your sander is matching the 7th of that major scale (D Sharp). Jazzy! … a little musical nerdiness for you.

Guys, when you're cutting wood outside I recommend wearing a filtration mask. I know it seems like the breeze and open space protects you, but in fact you're sitting in a cloud of fine wood particles and chemicals. This will greatly increase the likelihood of developing COPD (emphysema) in years to come.

[brucemckelvy]

I love your solutions to these issues. That boat is going to be a structural tank when you are done. Fun to watch.

[janisconley]

For someone who knows diddly about boats, it is SO amazing to watch you guys build Uma back from the bones up. You are such a lovely, dynamic couple. I love how Dan lets Kika try and learn new things as she is ready and he never forces her. Really really love you guys and am so honored to be able to follow you along. May the good Lord continue to bless you and keep you and Uma safe and happy for the rest of your days, be they long and fruitul. 🥰

[urieaaron]

When I was 18, I did exactly what Dan said not to do, I cut and almost lost three fingers. Now, I always remind myself to let go if something goes wrong, before I even start a cut. Makes it easier to remember when things go south.

[robertmason]

When Dan is putting the epoxy down I can imagine him saying in a voice like Edna mode in the movie the incredibles "NO SQUEAKS!!"

[jagazzale]

I bet you're so happy to finally have a flat work surface. Congrats!

[verngay]

Only architects would take a journey without paper plans, & tested solutions. Original Uma to new Uma is amazing to see & hear her strength grow week by week. One solid hull. This series of your journey is so satisfying to be a part of every Sunday. Thank you for bringing us along.

[BrianGuilfoos]

This has to be SO satisfying to work on and see progress.
