Garrett and Ruth install the in-whale and out-whale rails on their custom dinghy build, using alder timber to provide structural rigidity to the hull.0:03 To manage the tight radius at the bow without cracking the wood, Garrett uses a handheld garment steamer to soften the alder before bending it into place.0:41 He improves the steaming process by constructing a makeshift steam box from chimney pipe and foil.7:18 The assembly process involves cutting approximately 60 alder spacer blocks on a table saw to 1/8-inch thickness and 2-inch lengths, then dry-fitting the rails with clamps and screws to ensure alignment before final bonding with epoxy.3:49 By pre-drilling screw holes during the dry fit, Garrett maintains alignment while applying epoxy, which acts as a lubricant between the mating surfaces.6:29 The project concludes with the rails secured and ready for painting, as the crew prepares to return to their primary vessel, Red Aviva, in Mexico.19:39
