 Oh Fiberglass oh, it's such a disgusting thing to work with but it makes such beautiful stuff such strong stuff I think I'm just gonna do it I've got this set up here There's a pole coming through there into there and then the pole coming through into here To hold it in a good position. I should be able to get all my fiberglass on there then Will not have this part fiberglass, so hopefully if I keep that clean I can pick it up by there and move it aside while I get the other one of these in here and do the other one Oh, I'm definitely not getting any video of the fiberglass operation. It's just so messy. I'll end up Covering the camera and fiberglass All right Here's how it basically goes I Cut that into pieces that will fit like wrap around here and then Some pieces that will wrap around here and then here and I'll just keep going through the whole thing Until I have pieces that will fit on every part and then I'll go get a gallon of fiberglass resin polyester resin. I have right over there Mix them up with its hardener use a roller and just start putting those fiberglass rectangles on there It sounds so simple I'm gonna I'm gonna try not to make a mess, but I'm gonna put Vaseline on my hands before I start Because that makes it a little bit easier to get the polyester resin off my hands at the end. Oh This is gonna be so good when it's finished Not my favorite thing Doing fiberglass is so gross and doing fiberglass on something. That's like kind of like complicated shape like this. Oh, it's so messy But maybe I can do it not messy. All right, I got you. I can do it not messy. All right, let's focus on that not messy All right, I got both of these fools done And you know what I Do not enjoy working with fiberglass. I already knew that Today I'm feeling a little bit overwhelmed This sometimes happens happens after it's been raining for a while and then the Sun comes out because while it's raining I'm like, okay, I need to do this and this and this and this and that But I can't do it until the Sun comes out and then the Sun comes out and it's like I can do everything but I'm only one guy. You can only do one thing at a time Chill out Prioritize my things figure out what my next task is and just go through them one at a time Hmm. Well, I think we get on these suckers. They look like they Pretty good. Oh Actually, it's good that it's a little sticky because I want to put a bit of extra Fiberglass around these corners because when I wrap this around, you know, this side gets overlapped like crazy But the corner ends up a little thinner So I want to put a little, you know, just a little kind of kneecaps on all them This log here fell out of a tree yesterday It's full of ants So I'm cooking them. Anyway, who do I do next here? Those things are looking pretty good And then I think they're pretty much ready, you know, I want to put the little kneecaps on them But after that it's just connected to the other piece before I do the paddle wheel and you know get all the But to connect the two pieces First I have to build the frame they're going to go on Put the bearings on that then put them in the frame so they're lined up, right? And to make sure that the four different pieces the four different bearings are lined up on the frame straight I have this here pipe Which is the same diameter as the bearings So I guess I need to make So I have four bearings here and one set of pedals goes here Paddle will here and another set of better pedals here. Obviously, these will be farther apart So I need to build a frame that has a you know a rectangle all the way around And the rectangle will connect to that one and that one and then from The rear piece and the front piece of the rectangle Something has to go through there and through there to connect those two guys and then they'll all be held In the right position just with pieces going that way so that it's open through here for the pedals and open through here for the Paddle wheel and then the pedals again, right? Well, yeah, kind of like that. I need a thing here Good piece going across here more or less Okay, 62 noodle units across 39 imperial noodle units that way. I guess I'll just start with that Rectangle, you know get those pieces in and figure out where exactly they go And I am thinking I can use some of this beautiful stuff like Yeah, like that I'll have to make sure the piece is going from the front to the back Are strong enough that I can you know push on I'm pretty hard with my legs The pieces across the back in the front though, they're gonna be resting on something So they don't need to be as strong So maybe I the front in the back is just one layer and then the pieces that go from from the front to the back Have it, you know one of these and then another one here So it's rectangle box tube. Does that sound good to your brains Jamie? I Think that sounds all right Yeah, I think I think that's good. Oh, you know what the front in the back piece I can make out of this. This is Stronger Because it's almost like an I beam it's got you know It's got that the piece here, but then it also comes out here So it's actually stronger and the reason I don't want to box tube the front in the back piece Is because if I don't do that then I can you know attach the other pieces inside here But if this is box tube, then it's harder to attach it. So yeah this This will be good because it has a thicker side here. So that'll be nice and strong Yeah, okay, that's not good Well, this is gonna be kind of cool having a pedal thing that's a self-contained unit Because then I could take it off and put it on another boat maybe Whenever I want pedal power, I just have to leave that size hole in the boat And then I can use the same pedal power in different boats. Yeah, I should just make this a standard size pedal power thing Maybe I'll make another one at some point and they could just interchange. Yeah, this is a great idea Cut two of these first I'm just gonna use the hacksaw my my crappy hacksaw. This is the worst hacksaw ever Then I want to use an angle grinder even though it's a lot faster It'll spit up all kinds of fiberglass dust Okay, two of those 62 noodle units tall. That's about just over five feet looks about right and I hear a storm coming Feels like it's gonna rain crap Well, you have to go in and just play mech warrior or something all day. No, I need to get some stuff done Why is the world? Why is the world being rainy? Maybe it's just some wind gonna blow by Maybe you can hurry up and maybe get a bit more of this done Fine we're back to rain Come on man stop raining. Hey world. Can you can you give me a ride a little bit? Oh, I need a big workshop Right over there where I can work Stop oh, maybe it only rain for a few minutes Sounds like stopping. Oh, maybe it was just one dark cloud blown by Yeah, come on dark cloud keep going keep going keep going keep going bright sky over there Yeah, come on come on. Oh, we might still be able to get some stuff done Well, wait a minute I'm definitely gonna have to at least wait a few minutes though. I think that might be just enough time For a mission it's clear again. All right, what's uh Yeah, okay 39 noodle units long two pieces I should actually make them a tiny bit short because they're gonna connect into here So they're not gonna. Yeah, this will have a little bit of thickness. So short 39. Oh Rivets how I love the oh So beautiful look at those little guys Nice work. Oh and I did put one rivet in each corner Well on the top and the bottom Then I measured across this way and across this way to make sure those two measurements are the same Which means it's square well rectangle Before I put the second rivets in all the joints So hopefully that's locked pretty 90 degrees aligned And I checked I can totally stand on this. I don't need to box too, but those are strong enough as they are Yeah, so I made two more 39 almost 39 noodle units long to go there and there I'll have to measure exactly where they go Okay, where do these things go? I need a precise precise measurement here Okay, what's the measurement of bearing to bearing 18 18 imperial noodle units That sounds familiar. Oh, that's exactly what it says in my drawing. I guess I did it right great All right, so I've got a bearing which is four Imperial noodle units that's sure. Yep four Slightly smaller. That's good Everything gives me a little more clearance. Yeah Okay, so I got four 18 and then This bar goes somewhere on this. I think I want it to go On This side right here To give more space for the paddle wheel to flap around and not hit the edge. So yeah Ignore where I drew these lines and just imagine them right here Right Oh, but not right up to the edge of this bearing Like I want the screws sticking out So maybe Add half a noodle unit like one centimeter Okay Okay four plus 18 is 22. Let me just double check that. Yeah 22 And then an extra half 22 and a half noodle units across So I get to that piece there And then the same in from the other side and then whatever the middle is Okay Well, that looks amazing Uh now what do I do?
