Summer conditions limited how many days I could get some epoxy onto the timber, but we did enough cooler days to make good progress.

FREE PROVISIONING GUIDE
Pascale has put together a FREE 40 page Provisioning Guide. The Guide explains and provides examples of how we can travel eating a variety of healthy and delicious meals for up to 6 months at a time on our tiny boat with no resupply. There has never been a better time to start learning how to increase the food storage potential of your home. I hope this guide will inspire you to make more informed long term provisioning choices for the future!

Thanks!

Hi Troy, great attention to detail, that router will make a good clean finished product 👌. Hey quick heads up, Ross Barnett just posted a "Welsford's flotilla lake Rotoiti" episode, Scamps to Pathfinder's 👍 Good luck on the build, from the Bay of Islands, Nz, late summer cruise 🙏

I see the project is coming along nicely. I also support your overkill on letting the unused epoxy finish going off in a spot that the heat, which is quite a bit, can't evolve into a fire. I have a cement block outside of my shop that I set my containers on. I've never had a problem with that heat, but like you, I feel better safe than sorry. I've also learned to mix the batches to match my operating speed so that there is less waste of that expensive compound. Thanks for the project update.

Troy, a small tip . If you use a metal cutting blade in your jigsaw to cut the thin ply you are using there will be no tear out.Works just as fast as a blade ment for wood.
-
Troy, your tricks of the trade in the workshop are priceless. Thanks for sharing.
-
Totally agree with your practice of letting unused epoxy cure away from flammable material. Epoxy 101. Your craftmanship is intimidating mate.
-
Hell yeh👌👌i sure do miss all your boat stuff episodes.
-
Such an inspiration to find your channel. It can feel a bit lonely out here in the west for aspiring sailors and to see your guys journeys gives us the confidence it can be done.
-
Just for your info mate if it's helpful, when mixing Bote-Cote you can mix by weight, I do it all the time especially for small amounts. The ratio is 100gms resin to 44gms hardener.
-
Cool to see you back to messing about with boats.
-
Can you include an approximate timeline that a particular step has taken. Very interesting project. Your teaching is very thorough. Thanks Troy.
-
Hi Troy, very interesting video, love the practical and informative work you’ve done and your narrative expertise. All the best to you all from the UK.
-
VERY Cool!!!! I worked with Resin and catalyst and YEA IT GETS HOT if you are not careful it will POOF GOOD Job Troy!!! PS I am Missing the Same Tooth 🤣🤣🤣🤣
-
Fantastic, I'm excited to see your final product.
-
The boat is coming along nicely. It didn’t happen yet at this stage, but if you ever have a screw or wire that sticks in the epoxy, you can just hold a soldering iron to the screw, and the heat will soften the epoxy long enough to remove the screw.
-
Really enjoying the build videos Troy. Good luck from Ireland.
-
That book is worth its weight in digital gold. I once had a real copy which disappeared I will download that one for sure. It covers lots of techniques some quite obscure ones you may struggle to learn otherwise.
-
It's good to see your Pathfinder coming along and I note how different our approaches have been......you way looks a lot more efficient may I say.
-
Some great tips there troy, thank you.
-
All the wishes from India.
