 All right, I've got enough fiberglass in there going up the sides that I feel I can call this heavy-duty Can't tell if I have rain incoming or if it's just cloudy Well luckily I can work on this in the rain anyway Darn, I've got thunder and lightning. I better call it a day. Oh But I did get these all fit in there pretty well not Attached with anything, but they fit quite nicely. I can feel a few sprinkles Just race that lightning home Often that I want a bigger motor on this boat, but right now I would like a bigger motor Oh, there's the rain lightning still over half a mile away, and there's home right there There's still nine Bellatrix. All right. I have just enough resin in my paddles here To lock them in place, so I'm gonna let that harden and while that's hardening I'm gonna deal with something I've been ignoring Alright, these bearings are getting stuck Not all of them. Two of them are good. The two that I put the two good ones in the middle because I can't get those ones out The two sticky ones I put on the outside and what I think is happening here is the rollers Are ending up twisting which isn't a huge problem Except that they're wedged in too tight So they're actually wedging themselves against the inner part of this and the ring on the other side This one so they're just kind of getting stuck So if that theory is correct, I Can drill out these rivets Pull this out a little bit Put it back in and it should be much smoother These things did run smooth when I just made them and then after being out here for a few days a week or whatever Now they're stiff. It could just be because there's dirt in them and it's causing more friction I Want them to be able to work in non optimal Circumstances because I'm going to be using them in real life, you know, I won't always have optimal circumstances So I'm not going to clean them out. I'm gonna leave whatever dirt or whatever's in there Making them sticky and I'm gonna try to make them work well with that. You know, there's another thing I'm thinking that might be an issue So the rollers push on this part and this ring, right? Now if these are skinny They'll just rub against like the bottom edge of the roller, but since they're kind of fat They're they're rubbing kind of higher up on the roller than Maybe they should definitely would cause more friction The rollers definitely won't fall out. However, I think this should be skinnier and this Ring in here should be skinnier Maybe I can find a way to sand them a little bit and kind of bevel them so that Only the the skinny park touches and then I got my three-row it's drilled out Hit this on Wow, it's in there tough All right, I think I figured out the problem It's that when you know when these are perfectly straight no problem, but they end up tilting a little bit I'm gonna exaggerate it just for So it's easier to see and then they start to you know rolling against the side rings, right? and If everything is loose enough, they'll just kind of slide along like that instead of actually rolling up They'll just slide back and kind of stay like that, right? But I have everything in there so snug that these can't slide and It's just getting stuck So You need to take some off this Just make them a little bit looser and it didn't become an issue until these got some dirt in there and some grit And they got harder to slide around, you know Okay, here's why I think this All right, so this rolls out a little bit. I guess the things are biased so they Slowly rolls out slowly rolls in this way until it hits the Ring and then it's stiff No ring on this side. They're not getting wedged in it's just Pressing up against this ring And now if I just try to push the inside out It's pretty stiff. It's not that easy to move so This you know this whole thing needs to be able to slide more easily Now one way I could test this theory is I could wax the inside of this and then see if they run smoother I do have some wax Wax in there a bit of wax on that guy. Let's reassemble In the other way, so you've got caught there for a second, but then it just slid out and started going smooth again Yeah That is much better. So definitely When I put some grease in these I do still want to loosen them up a little You know I won't always have Grease in there and water could get in and splash the grease up and it dries I just wanted to be able to work in really crappy conditions and in excellent conditions. Man, that is so much smoother now They're all fiberglassed on Looking good Now what? I guess that wheels pretty much finished. I don't like he's a bit of sanding in paint But I can't do any of that stuff till the fiberglass is totally cured. I Guess next is chairs Chair here and over there and then one here and on the other side So I'm thinking the two front chairs because it's the front of the boat two chairs on this side They'll be kind of low and I want the backs to be able to lay way back So you can almost lay all the way down maybe even just lay straight down So you can like super chill out while you're pedaling this way And then this one I Can either move this out of the way or I can just make the chair a little higher So in your legs will come down like this And then this one you'll be sitting higher And that'll be kind of good because then you'll have a good a better view for you know wherever you're going So yeah, make this a higher chair and this a lower chair also that'll make it so The pedaling isn't always the same So if your legs get tired of pedaling in one way you can switch to the other way and I'm gonna make the boat So it can go both directions, so you can pedal that way or that way even if you're the only person on the boat Well, you know what else I can work on to rudders speaking of going directions And if I'm gonna make the boat omnidirectional well bidirectional, but I'm just gonna call it omnidirectional I'm gonna need posts at this end to put the Things on rudders presuming. I use these posts. I think I think that sounds good Another thing I need to check hello. It's kind of too late now Is that this looks like it's gonna be in the water even if the boat is not weighted down with much? I'm not super sure where the water line is gonna be but yeah, I'm pretty sure Those paddles will be in the water At least like halfway in the water even with the boat not loaded, you know, just like a person on it And if not, I'll just have to cut some stuff and lower the thing, but I think it's gonna be all right
