free corking/refasting video

[lofting4fun]

Hi all, I have a 70 year old shipwright that is going to recork (caulk) with cotton and oakum my 1930 schooner Viator,also will be refastning,and doing some misc repairs. I will be making a digital recording of the process and will make it avail to all, free. If interested I will burn cds and send,we will be starting in a week...let me know.....James

[Dave Fleming]

I am sure there are a number of folk here who would appreciate such an effort.

[StevenBauer]

Sounds great. I'm in.

Steven

[Bob Cleek]

Me too!

[htom]

Me four!

[Adamant]

Thank you for offering this. I'd like a copy if possible.

[Godwin]

Hi there James.
You sure seem like a nice fellow.
I would love to have a copy.
However, I live in Australia and believe it would not be fair for you to freight that disc to me, half way around the world. What other arrangements are possible?
This seems like a top idea, What else can we record and distribute for free amongst the woodenboat fraternity? I'll come up with something.
Who's up for a compilation music CD??
Dire Straits, Richard Clapton, Bob Marley........

I'd love a copy. Happy to pay costs and shipping!

Critics are already nominating this post for "Best Actor with a Caulking Iron". I would love a copy. Getting the popcorn popper out now. As per above replies, how can we get copies?

[outofthenorm]

:cool: I am definitly in. Thanks for the offer James! Happy to pay costs.

Norm

[Tom Ring]

James, thanks for the generous offer. As I am trying to replace a few frames and then recaulk a couple weeping seams next spring, this could be very useful. Let me know how to hlep defray your costs. Would a prepaid return mailer help?

Tom

[ddeaton]

I am in, just let me know the cost.
Thanks,

[Paul Morris]

I'd love to have one too. It could be a valuable resource for those of us who have to perform this task only once and a while.
How may I help with expense.

[Steve Hornsby]

Holy Helpful. Thanks! I'm in. I could send a money order to cover cost to Canada.

Steve Hornsby

[Willin']

Me too! I'll help defray expenses. The music soundtrack sounds like a great idea too, but how do you get a 70 year old to keep hammer time with the beat?

[Godwin]

Perhaps we should compose a disc of timeless sea shanties for the old guy to ring his mallet to.
I don't know of any, do you guys?

[Al Kahawl]

Aprel aint on da horizen spoze dis fur real? Id like one two. Tank you.

[Con LanAdo]

maybe you can put story into print by sending a copy to AARP. Nonetheless you'll have my email in a moment. Thanks very much.

[marsbar]

Thanks for the thoughful gesture!

[Russ Manheimer]

James,

Count me in. I've done some caulking on A-Cats and my own boat and would love to see another technique. I'll send you my address.

Thanks for your generous offer.

Russ

[Tristan]

I'd love to have a copy. Would also love to send you a check for postage, cost of copying, etc. etc. Please count me in.

[Bayboat]

I would appreciate a copy, and will pay your out of pocket costs for it. Great idea. It will be nice to see if I've been doing it right all these years. Email on the way.

Wow...perfect timing! I'm getting closer to caulking my Buzzards Bay 14. I'll shoot an email and would be glad to send SAS envelope & blank CD if that'll help.

Dan

[peter baker]

That's great, just at the right moment.
Have to recaulk my boat after replaceing half of the planks.

Thanks

I'd love a copy. What an offer, this type of information is not usually available at any cost!

The timing is great, my 1937 Bluenose Jr. is in dire need of refastening and caulking.

Gosh, three pages! At this rate, maybe it would be easier to post it someplace with "streaming video" or whatever they call it! LOL

[patito]

you betcha

[AlanL]

This is a very generous offer and a great opportunity to capture and old hand (pair?) at their trade.

If your offer is still open, I would really appreciate a copy, but I am way down here in NZ. Perhaps you could contact me off-list and we can arrange some form of payment.

[Jim Surdyke]

Please ad my name to the list. If the video conveys detail about the process and technique, it is something I would gladly pay to obtain. I have scheduled a haul out for my 1936 72' ketch in February for the purpose of recaulking and fastening. Thanks, Jim S.

This would be very valuable to many folks in my area, count me in!

me too --- happy to contribute to costs. Just finished some corking of my Rozinante and it would be great to watch an expert so I can plan next spring's adventures!

Thanks.

[Ace Ford]

I'm in, let me know the details.

Thanks

[Bayboat]

Hi James: I haven't heard anything about the corking/fastening. Did I miss it?

[Sailor]

Sounds like you should have charged a small fee or even asked for "donations" you're arousing much intereste here.

[Ric Altfather]

Please let me know what you need to cover the cost...

Thanks,

Ric Altfather

[S/V Laura Ellen]

I'm still in. I will help cover the expenses.

[Island_Tom]

Sign me up too!

But can I make a suggestion, instead of one guy making 400 copies of the video, and having no time to do anything else, perhaps the best way we can help out is for 10 or so folks who had CD/DVD burning capabilities to get the disk first, with a list of 5 or so people who they will send a copy to. We could agree on reimbursement per copy and send it to the person we get the disk from.

Just a thought...

[cshire]

Peer to Peer file sharing services (limewire, bearshare kazaa, etc.) would be perfect for distribution of this type of information,

Join the network, give the video file a unique name easy to search for name such as caulking 101, and anybody who wants a copy can download it.

See these things can be used for more than just illegal music copying!

[George Ray]

What a great thing you are doing by sharing.

Seems that there must be an easy way to post the file(s) and let folks upload it(them). Perhaps someone on the forum is 'in the know' and could make it happen or suggest what needs to be done when your disk is ready. Sure would save many hours, much mailing expense and in the end would further the dissemination of the the information which is a primary goal.

Notice that there are many videos on Google-Video that are nearly two hours long and that there are also many that are multi-part for a total length of 6 - 8+ hours. There is a free extention for the Firefox browser that allows one to download a Google video very easily. Then there are some file type convienience issues but that is all easily fixable.

[PeterSibley]

Hello.I'd be very pleased to get a video and of course I'd pay any costs.

[Lewisboats]

Ditto please :D .

Spot on cshire,
Just thought I would emphasise that this is by far the best way to share this information.

It beats the hell out of somone(s) sitting there for hours burning discs, compiling mailing lists, putting in envelopes and paying for trucks and planes cart these packages across your continent and the world...

From the response that this has got, it would not surprise me if more offers and efforts like this are to follow.
Just more great sharing of information.

Get it right, and make it easy, from the beginning.
P2P- is the way to do this.

As said, name it something unique and identifiable.
post the name of the video file here, and place the file in the dedicated sharing folder for the P2P program. For the first uploads, one would probably want to advertise a certain time frame where the computer will be left online (for more than enough time for at least one other to get the whole file).
Of course somone has to be online with the program connected for others do access it, but this can be arranged from here in the forum.
After it has been shared, the responsibility is gone from the original sharer to keep allowing uploads.
the other people who already have it can take over from here.

If you guys, and forums in general get this sorted, then there is no reason why hundred and thousands of videos cannot be shared (relatively) cost free....

It might be good to work out early some general form of naming and catalogueing of the videos...


And I don't even want a Vid...
But thanks anyway.
Hans.

[hansp77]

My personal P2P preference-
For ease of use is limewire.
Mac and PC, and very very simple.
Although there are probably other ones that fill these needs.

Easy instructions could be explained here which would have the P2P newbies downloading within 2 minutes of installing the program.

[S/V Laura Ellen]

Does anyone know who "lofting4fun" is, and what the staus of his repairs are?

[gaff cutter]

please include me!

[Benjicohn]

Have we missed the obvious? Bob Cleek is right: This is the internet, we don't need the mail!

I think YouTube would be a great place to start. If sent a copy, I think I could get that up and running online pretty quickly.

[JP Irie]

Please count me in as well and I am happy to reimburse as appropriate- Thanks!

[hansp77]

Benjicohn,

youtube would only be ok if the entire video was divided into 5-10 minute chapters (as this is the limit for regular account holders).
This might be just a little annoying though...
somehow I imagine that this video, and others like it would be a lot longer.
The advantage of P2P is that it is a much faster download than normal web based stuff.
You can also easily stop and start your downloads.

For big files like video, especially dvd or home digicam quality,
I repeat,
P2P is the best way.

[Mike Vogdes]

I guess we shouldn't be holding our breath, This post is nearly a year old and loftingforfun seems to have vanished...
