Andy, I will apologise up front for the safety comment I am about to make but I worked in heavy mechanical maintenance all my working life, now retired. I am talking with actual experience with an eye injury through grinding. So no matter what any others say about safety, it always comes first. For God's sake man, not only wear safety glasses but also wear a full face shield. Most people won't know what it's like to have a metal splinter extracted from the lens of your eye and the pain duration you go through for such a minuscule piece of metal. I was lucky with no permanent damage.
So please do your self a favour and for your family, its a small inconvenience. Love your channel.

the chart on the welder is a guide. these are the suggested starting values. you need to adjust should it be necessary. just because, "i used the recommended settings" doesn't mean you have proper welds and you know it. so i don't know why you used this chart as, "i did it right."

As a risk assessor, I would advise get yourself a small hoist for those lifting jobs.

I always love seeing the progress on Steel Melody. I hope you are able to get her back in the water and into the hands of a new owner in the near future so you guys can get underway with the rest of your adventures.

Hi Andy, Last week you said that you found out about the missing bit of plate in the keel box because of some water that was in the bilge that was running out of the gap between the plates of the old keel box and the liner. I know you have now filled all that in but if the water from the bilge was getting out then if water gets in the bilge in the future then surely its going to be able to get between the plates of the old keel box and the new liner causing corrosion that will be out of sight. Is there anything that you could pour into the cavity to stop this?

Lifting stuff: Is there a davit mount anywhere on Steel Melody?

On the plate welds, it might have been an idea to V prep the plate and hole on the underside and made the plate 1mm smaller all around. That way, if done correctly, would only require one weld run per plate as the prep work ensures a full pen weld.
