😂👍 Welcome to the club! I never dreamed that this video would be my most viewed….. I spent a full year on building The Black Pearl ship and it is no where close to the success of The Tommy Chair…. If you want a good laugh, read through other comments from the past.😂😂😂. Glad to have you aboard 🏴‍☠️.

You’re welcome! I truly appreciate your generosity in the SUPER THANKS payment. Actually the beach chair video is my most watched ! It took all of 30 minutes to produce. I spend untold hours building wooden model ships and producing related videos…… none produce much revenue 😂. I will put yours $ to good use, as my UA-cam cash goes towards equipment and ships to build in the future. Thanks for taking your time to give me some positive feedback as well.

Perfect weather for ice! At least where I am! Thanks for watching. I think you’re gonna love the machine 👍👍

Maybe because you might have a different version of raft. It’s simple to measure yourself. My purpose was to provide a concept and to document my adventure. Now it’s your turn to create your own story. Enjoy your journey.👍 Thanks for watching 👍👍

Water 💧 would ruin it.

Thanks for contributing to my list of humorous stories from viewers…. Maybe someday compose all of them in a book 😂😂👍

You’re welcome.👍👍

Yep, all great information for anyone considering one! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience 👍👍

I’m finally back on track, so hopefully I’ll show more progress…….in a more timely manner. 👍

You’re off to a good start!

I’ll put on my list of to do in the future! The copper usually comes out very nice when put in the covered container. Just with this metal it just didn’t work… I’m totally puzzled, but will keep working on it!

I’ve since traded that Forester in for another Forester. I do recall that if the turn signal is on for a long period of time, it did start to hyperflash. They are also extremely bright and my wife convinced me to not install them in my current Forester because when you open the tailgate at night they flash twice and it’s painful on the eyes…. Yes, they are that bright! Definitely gets the attention of drivers behind you on the interstate, day or night. Thanks for watching, hope it’s been informative.👍👍

@@BoilerDan1 there’s better options u can get for less bright. Try Auxito amber led 54H. 5.5W. Not as bright as with a built in resistor with 24W. But still brighter than stock. And it’s more refined super bright.

@toyotabrony Thanks for the info. I’ll check it out….. maybe on my next one. I’ve been driving about 30,000 miles a year and like to trade in at the 80,000 - 90,000 mile range. But I will look them up and maybe put on my Christmas list 😎👍👍

@toyotabrony I looked them up, but said that they won’t fit the 2023 Forester model 😞

@@BoilerDan1 they always said that. Just because it says on the info, doesn’t mean it’s true. Check ur incandescent bulb to see what bulb size u have. If it’s a 7440. It’s a 7440. If it’s 3157 it’s a 3157. Those 54H led amber I mention needs either load equalizer resistor or led flasher relay. Or if u want a plug and play version load equalizer resistor. Look up alla lighting - resistor plug and play version.

Great, it’s not difficult on that model year. I’ve since traded it in and currently have the 2023 model Forester. Very happy with all of them (4 so far 😎). Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

You’re welcome….. We were just on the beach at Hilton Head and I was wondering if anyone there was watching 😂😂. I should put a link to the Super Thanks on this video I’d rake in $$$ 😂😂😂 This is my most popular video of all 🫨😂. Thank for taking the time to comment. My family enjoys hearing them. For a good laugh, read a few of them…. You were not alone 👍👍

Very handy for my small woodworking projects. Very happy with it. Thanks for watching and adding in your support 👍👍

Glad you figured that simple and inexpensive fix. Maybe your comment will help someone else out too! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience.👍😂

You’re welcome 😂👍

😂….You need to read the past comments! It’s also my most popular video 🤪😂👍. Thanks for watching 😂

No, it doesn’t have any vin numbers. I’m not sure about your state but here in Indiana the boat is registered, not the motor. You can go through a process to have a vin number assigned, similar to if you built your own trailer (or motor). You’ll have to get forms from your BMV. May not be worth the hassle though….

@@BoilerDan1 Thank you for the info, I live in Texas and we have to register all outboard motors except electric ones.

@CobblestoneYT That might be tricky….. I’d go to the Texas BMV and see how you can get it done before I’d buy one.👍👍

Thanks, I’m no airbrush expert, but for my needs this has worked out well for me! I need more experience in keeping it clean as the nozzle needs to be clean for best results. That being said, I’ve had no major issues and enjoy using it. Mostly just shadows on my wooden model ships, but I’ve used it to paint the inner hull on 2 skiff boat with great results. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.👍👍

Yes, it’s very tight …… Fortunately my wife was able to load it in the back of our vehicle without having to fold it down.👍👍

@@BoilerDan1I see - unfortunately my car isn’t that large😢 was there any tips you found helpful to pull it down?

Unfortunately it can’t be adjusted, however you could take a piece of dowel rod (wood) and use it to pry open the lever each time. Maybe sand the end to a wedge shape to fit it in better. I think in time it will get easier as you use it. Sorry I can’t be of more help. I think it must be tight so it doesn’t come apart when you’re using it 🫨👍👍

Maybe? I’ve hit a hurdle 🙃🥵. I’ve done lots of copper leaf and then aging it using salt and fuming it in an ammonia chamber….. for some unknown reason, it’s not working! I’ve scrubbed off the copper twine now and started all over. Just not working….. So I switched glue…. Still didn’t work 🤬. So I did on a piece of wood and everything worked fine! Must be something about the metal parts in the kit???? I’m now trying 2 coverings of copper! If that doesn’t work, I’ll give up, and try something else 😫

@@BoilerDan1 yea I’m not sure what the copper issue would be. I’ve copper leafed but never aged it in that way but instead used Brass Black look. It ages it with more of a darker used stain look rather than the corrosion look. I’m sure you’ll figure something out. I wonder if it’s pewter vs some other metal type.

@sub04aru Definitely has something to do with the metal. I’m switching to an acid based product that is used to darken the framing of stained glass windows. It’s working 😁🏴‍☠️. Not the patina that I wanted but it will be fine.

I looked up from the past 😂…. The one year referencing was my 1st of 3 different Black Pearl ships I have built. The item was purchased on eBay however the seller is no longer available. The good news is, just go on eBay and search “solid walnut wood strips” and you’ll find plenty. Here’s a link to a sample: www.ebay.com/itm/204802108735?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=geNBi6sWTeW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=s8A53jWuRTC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY You’ll need to decide on what size and how many…… but a package of 50 is a good choice. Thanks for watching, I learned a lot on the version you’re watching…. I’m much better at ship building since that experience. Loving the journey I’m still on! Enjoy your journey too 👍👍🏴‍☠️ Oh, it’s Black Walnut…. I may have misspoke in that early video 🤪

Although I use the drill and table I haven’t used the slide clamps much. But I will definitely check out your idea! Thanks for the advice 👍👍

Yes, that’s actually the way it should be done. I got mine in January 🥶. Couldn’t go out on the ice 😂

You’re welcome. Note: from time to time you’ll need to adjust the tension either slightly more or slightly less. It seems like the weather plays a role. Winter definitely needs it a little tighter. It’s simple, just hold the hook with pliers and use another to tighten/lossen the elongated bolt thingy…… maybe I should do a follow up video 😂👍

Great to have you aboard! I try to be creative beyond what the kits provide. Today, I'm in the process of trying to age most of the metal parts. Using copper leaf, then aging the copper. I will feature it in Part 4. I'm also working on putting together a small jar of dirt complete with Davy Jones heart......(idea from the movie). If it works, I'll send one to anyone donating to my Super Thanks UA-cam fund of which supports my hobby 😂. I'll post details in an upcoming episode if it works out. Thanks for watching and enjoy your adventure too.🏴‍☠️

When’s the next episode coming? The anticipation is killing me. 😂

@joshhouwen5463 I hit a snag….. I have been trying to copper leaf all the metal parts…..😫 For some reason, the copper won’t get any patina look when I complete the process that I’ve done with several other projects….. Three times I have cleaned off and repeated the process with failure…. Yesterday I gave up and switched to a different method. It just darkened the copper which is acceptable but not what I was hoping for…. Anyway, once I get the cannons done I’ll be back on track and can move forward….. I found some actual “barnacles” on eBay which will add to the look! I want to load a lot of details on the lower deck while it’s open….. So to answer your question……. It’ll probably be a week maybe two the next episode 👍🏴‍☠️👍

WOW! Can’t wait to see them barnacles! Your unique approach on this build is going to be epic! This hobby is very much about trial and error. I have learnt so much and there are so many ways to do things. The fact your hit with a difficult situation keeps it interesting. If it was easy, then there would be no fun in it! Keep on trucking mate. Looking forward to seeing the progress.

@joshhouwen5463 Thanks, I will keep sailing on…..🏴‍☠️

You’re welcome. I’ve applied these on two different Subaru Foresters with no problems. My garage is heated so in the winter I put out of a warm garage into very cold with no issues. To date: No door dings either!😁. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.👍👍

If you read comments you’ll discover that you’re not alone 😂👍

Thanks, definitely have my creative side in full bloom!😂 👍🏴‍☠️

So I’ve determined 😂👍. I had fun with it but I wouldn’t recommend it for any extended or rough areas. Maybe a little pond! I didn’t want to invest much….. I didn’t 😂. I survived my journeys and have since sold it all. The fun was building everything. Thanks for watching and sharing your insight. Hopefully others will take heed 👍👍🏴‍☠️

Wir sind uns sehr ähnlich! Ich habe vor kurzem The Pearl (All Scenario Version von ZHL) beendet. Ich habe 3 Versionen des Pearl gebaut. Ich habe gerade The Flying Dutchman von Occre gestartet. Wir sind also ziemlich gleich, nur in umgekehrter Reihenfolge! Schauen Sie sich an, was ich bisher gemacht habe (unter dem Unterdeck). Hier ist ein UA-cam-Link direkt zum Video. Danke für die Uhr und die besten Wünsche von der anderen Seite des Meeres! The Flying Dutchman PART 3 ua-cam.com/video/nudBBVIEnAA/v-deo.html

I’m not going to put any figures on initially. The 3d printer I have doesn’t produce good quality on small figures. I can always add them later. The ZHL Black Pearl has better quality wood. A lot of walnut for planking. It also has double layer planking on the hull with the outside layer being very thin walnut. I also think the instructions are better on the ZHL with larger blue print type drawings. But I’m still very happy with this ship and I think it will turn out to be something special. One other thing, it’s not as large as the Pearl. About 10 inches shorter.

Sie sind herzlich willkommen. Nach meiner Pensionierung entdeckte ich meine Faszination für Großsegler und meine Fähigkeit, sie als Hobby zu konstruieren und meinen Verstand und meine Feinmotorik auf dem Laufenden zu halten! Sie werden sehr stolz auf Ihr Schiff sein, wenn es fertig ist..... Aber geben Sie sich viel Zeit, überstürzen Sie es nicht. Planen Sie bis zu einem Jahr ein.... Stellen Sie sich vor, ein ganzes Jahr voller Unterhaltung! Die Investition lohnt sich. Glücklicherweise war der Mädchenname meiner Mutter "Riester" mit starken deutschen Wurzeln. Obwohl ich kein Deutsch spreche, habe ich das Geräusch erkannt.... Dann habe ich es ins Englische übersetzt und konnte Ihnen den genauen Inhalt besorgen. 😂

Where I think I messed up on planning for lighting….. I forgot that there’s no closed section below deck….. next time I’ll drill both sides even if I don’t plan on lights! 😂. Once I get the hull planked and see how dark the lowest level is, I might take the airbrush and darken things a bit….. I’ll wait and see on that one. I mounted the shell torches on the hull side beams. They are going to make the ship! I may try to light them in the next segment….. that will probably be in a couple of weeks ( a little side project going on at the same time 😵‍💫. Anyway, thanks for hanging around. Maybe I’ll watch that episode of P.of the C, to refresh my inner pirate 🏴‍☠️ 😂👍

They look even better in person! Getting them lit will show even better. 👍

I’m so glad you are slightly ahead of me on your own build! Helps me visualize what to expect 👍👍

@@BoilerDan1 I'm glad it can help you a little bit, I'm almost completely done the planking on the side of the ship, I have changed a few things from what they want you to do, I do believe it's for the better, I should be working on the captain's quarters at the back here pretty soon

Definitely stretching my imagination on this one 😂👍🏴‍☠️

Yes, I’ve determined that too! Not being in any type of a trade, it’s a refreshing challenge. Part 3 is going to have a surprise twist and my improving on this one 🏴‍☠️😀👍👍

You can get by just using small cutting tools. Definitely a penknife and small files. But I also put to good use a miniature belt sander. Probably the most difficult part is tapering the masts and yards. I’ve achieved that better with practice and have used files, sandpaper, tried a small lathe too. Recently I’ve perfected it using a full sized belt sander. Most parts of the ship are laser cut so a little sanding for most is good. Enjoy your build. It’s a very satisfying experience! Hope my series helps you on your journey.👍👍

@@BoilerDan1 Thank you

You’re not alone! Check out previous comments: Some will leave you laughing out loud 😂. Thanks for sharing your story 👍👍

Yes, I’m sure that they are the same. I’ve seen several versions of the same thing too. I’ve not seen one with the “ Aiqidi” logo on it, but the price was great! 👍 Thanks for watching 😁

I was a little concerned in the beginning, but I worked through the materials and was able to formulate a plan that works for me…. Sorry if it was confusing for everyone else 😂. I think you’ll like the torches I’ve been working on. They are really going to make this one special.

😂😵‍💫 I knew at the time, explain it wasn’t working ….. but thought maybe it would help someone who was stuck trying to figure out where to begin 🤪. Today I hope to finish the lower deck planks. Then I’ll be able to place the torches and pre drill some holes for the wires to go below the deck. Once that’s done I can install the deck pieces, attach the torches, run the wires and then flip the boat upside down and begin connecting wires! GEE, THANKS FOR LETTING ME BLOVIATE! It clarified what my plan is.😂😂😂.

Thanks for the encouragement 😁👍

You’re welcome 👍. Mine is working well. Very happy with the purchase.

Although I’m not an expert….. I measured my gate and it’s 2 inches short of being 5 foot. It’s 42 inches tall. I installed the 14 inch spring and have not had any problems. That being said, the 14 inches is the total length for the entire mechanism. The spring itself is about 11 inches. So I’d go with the 14” version. 👍👍

I’m rethinking my response! The smaller spring should also work….. pick either one 👍😂👍.

@@BoilerDan1 thank you!!!
