I was confused, is it Friday 😂 awesome to have an extra video.

[davidleake]

I realise it's an extra work for you guys but it's nice to have an extra video in the middle of the week I don't know if it will create more income for you guys I always look forward to watching

[Poppy-lnfh]

What a great surprise for all of us this Tuesday! I'm aways waiting with baited breath for the next video from you guys to come out. I've turned into a sarinda junkie, can't get enough of you two guys and your playfulness with each other. Looking forward to next Friday's exploits. Best wishes for you two.

[duaneayers]

Water on no water. Freezing cold or burning hot. Mud or no mud. There is no stopping you two. Great Job 👍🏻

[RandallSchwed]

The world is falling apart but the ship is coming together.👍

Hi guys ! I'am happy to contact you. I'am twice happy, because you are using a BRASILIAN WOOD in Sarinda. The wood called CUMARU, is a brasilian woond and came from amazonia. Is good and very strong, like steel, here is very popular for make boats.

[arthurpohlman]

I was so stoked to have this extra video. I binge watched until I was up to date. Now we all have to wait week in week out to watch vicariously your progress. Sign me up for awesome extra content. Always an absolute pleasure to watch you pair. Kudos

[merlindsbest]

CLIFFHANGER!!! No but in all honesty, this could easily have been a Friday video. I like seeing how yall troubleshoot the logistical pieces that make the Friday videos possible. Remember, don't overextend yourselves on our behalf! Great work.

[RodGriffiths-nckz]

Yes a lovely surprise to see a midweek episode. Have watched all the episodes from the beginning as they came out so four plus years of watching. As an ex Heswall resident was born there and played on the beaches as a little lad in the 60s its been great to see the progress you have made. If you can manage an occasional mid weeker they definitely would be welcomed by your subscribers as they flesh out the background work that goes into this fascinating project. Well done !!!

[dannmohr]

You two are amazing at what you do and always so joyful about it……Kudos to the “WONDER COUPLE”…….👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[geoffquickfall]

You guys are fantastic! It is such a treat to get out of the current world and watch the progress. Thanks so much for showing us that the fun world exists.

[dannotte]

I’ll have to give you the highest award for working under adverse conditions and maintaining your enthusiasm for the project. I’d given up the first time I encountered the cold mud!

[wayneirwin-fz]

A rising tide lifts all boats and that was very apparent in this episode. Good job!

[BarrieHarmsworth]

Wow, what an extrordinary pleasant surprise mid Loved it and the progress is now breath taking. And you turned a very shitty day into something special.

[thepagan]

Cumaru has a Janka hardness of 3, 330 lbf whereas English Oak is only 1120 lbf, Cumaru is roughly 3 times as hard as English Oak. It will dull your cutting tools quicker than your normal woods. Good job, take care, be well 👍

[Clover]

You have my respect for all the hard work you have done. What a transformation of Sarinda. Thanks for being so entertaining while doing so. You have my very best wishes and gratitude.

[danieloverbeek]

Thank you for the midweek video! What a surprise and a gift! Through your videos, you two have helped my wife and I cope with some difficult family situations. Just watching you guys work and interact with each other puts a smile on our faces. That’s not an easy thing to do lately, and we thank you for that! Keep up the great work! Don’t let other negative comments affect you. It’s nice to know there still are some normal folks in the world. We love you guys!

[kencooper]

Hi Guys from Australia I am a subscriber but never left a comment but I seen you struggling cutting that hard timber and you bought a new blade which was a 40 tooth that is called a combination blade whereas you need a 18 or 20 tooth for ripping that will help in your saw table as well. Hope that helps you next time. Great job.

[jabirucru]

Behind the scenes is very enlightening. We get to see all the ball aching prep work, the hard physical and strenuous work just getting stuff onto the boat.
I admire your fortitude.

[kathyross]

Kudos for this extra video. Absolutely love following you along this massive project.
