Five years and $700,000 later …
And the rest! He’s not skimped anywhere!
I’ve always wondered how much he had in savings when he started this. He originally said he would work on it, then go off and work and save up and come back.
He’s had a lot of free labour but he must have been paying staff for the last year or so. I think no feet Pete was the first full time member.
Patreon and YouTube and adverts must have paid well but I’d love to know what his original plans were or was he confident that social media would work?. Watching some of those early episodes when he’s man handling some of these massive beams was what got me watching it. Thinking how on earth is this bloke going to restore that rotting ship on his own.
Now it’s almost done and he’s got 5 or 6 people working on it I’ve kind of gone off it but I’m committed now 4 years on and need to see it to the end.
