What this video covers

Joshua prepares for the boat’s frame replacement by clearing a workspace under the new shed overhang, leveling the ground with cardboard and wood chips.0:44 Frank and Brian deliver a supply of white oak harvested from Ontario, which Joshua intends to use for the boat's new ribs.1:14 To prevent checking in the green lumber, Joshua applies paraffin wax to the end grain using a wood-fired camp stove.2:54 He attempts to clamp the billets to prevent warping using a wire-and-sticker technique, though uneven thickness in the rough-sawn wood limits the effectiveness of the method.4:30 Joshua resolves a flashing issue on the shed’s clerestory by installing a kicker to angle the flexible greenhouse panels and compress the foam gasket.6:25 He completes the roof blocking and strapping on the second side of the shed, though high winds prevent the installation of the metal roofing panels.17:24 The project continues with the disassembly of teak trim from the boat's deckhouse.17:36
