  To have no music and just natural birdsong in the background is so refreshing. I wish more YouTubers would do the same. Really satisfying video to watch. Thank you.

  That glue reacts to water.  Next project wet the wood with a spray bottle, let the water soak in.  the glue will inject itself into the wood  as it gains the water.

  I love that method you used to bring the two gunnels together by repeatedly cutting them apart until the pieces came together

  I like how you went from a $200 pair of shears to strapping a paring knife to a torch.

  There is an old saying in the marine world, &quot;Build your first ship, second.&quot;<br>It&apos;s a tongue in cheek saying that points out how much better you are as a ship builder after screwing up so many times on your previous project. Your first ship, teaches you sooooo many valuable lessons.

  I saw the timelapse of this build on TikTok and just had to come see the full build here. What an absolutely beautiful result. Well done on the build.

  There is something deeply therapeutic about watching this tedious, meticulous process with almost Japanese spiritual approach to this build.<br> Every now and then I do have projects during which I totally forget about the sound of power hammer, anvil, angle grinder and only the meditative state, the deep calming thoughts are present, almost like the hands just know what they’re doing, the work just develops by the miracle of craftsmanship.

  Polyurethanes are made by reacting polyols with isocyanates. Both materials are hygroscopic and will absorb moisture from the atmosphere, they react to form carbon dioxide and amines. The carbon dioxide gas creates bubbles in the final cured material and can lead to foam generation if the water content is high enough. Moisture-contaminated isocyanates may appear cloudy, may contain solid material at the bottom of the container, or may form a solid layer over the top of the isocyanate in a container. This is the reason the glue was foamy after curing, and why the urethane in the container has a hardened shell, as well as why the thicker drops exhibit a foamy structure.

  I love your hot knife solution. Even though you found it a bit hot and unpredictable, I thought it was quite ingenious
