The Tramp Ramp ⛵️ (Patreon)

Hi guys!

Happy Friday! Here is the ad-free version of this week's video. The regular version will be posted on YouTube on Sunday - as always :) In this week's video, I fix the structural issues on the tramp ramp. I was hoping to get a coat of primer on the ramp by the end of the video, but there was more damage than expected, so it took a lot longer to prep and lay up the glass.

Tomorrow, I start assembling a new PC for an upcoming project I'm excited about. During the refits of Obelix and Athena, I used a lot of cardboard to mock up different layouts and solutions. This time around, I want to challenge myself to use CAD more. Not "cardboard-aided design" but actual CAD ;) I contacted Shining 3d and asked if they would be interested in sending me a 3D scanner in return for featuring it in a video. Not only were they interested, but they are also launching a new 3D scanner this month. I have yet to learn about the name or its specs, but apparently, it's supposed to be good at scanning big areas and details. Shining 3d does have a Mac version of their scanner software in beta, but from what I've seen on YouTube, it's a bit of a rough beta, so I figured I better put together a cheap Windows PC. This will be a fun blast from the past. Being a bit of a computer geek, I used to assemble PCs all the time, but since moving aboard Obelix around ten years ago, I haven't had the space. This will be in a video coming out sometime in September or October (depending on when I actually get the scanner).

And in other news. I'll be helping my brother-in-law sail their catamaran a bit further north next weekend. Here's to hoping I like the motion of a catamaran ;)

Have a fantastic weekend! Thank you so much for your support :)
