Johan fits window frame on Ran boat mold in workshop
What this video covers
Johan and Malin continue the deckhouse construction on their boat, focusing on fabricating and installing the front section.▶ 0:22 To accommodate flat glass windows while maintaining the desired aesthetic curve, Johan constructs a mold that breaks the front into three flat, angled segments.▶ 13:48 He uses 50mm-thick PET foam sheets, which he glues together and laminates with epoxy before vacuum bagging.▶ 0:37 The process involves precise router work to cut window frames and bolt-hole grooves, requiring multiple passes because the router bit depth is limited to 43mm.▶ 6:15 By using three flat segments instead of a single arc, the team avoids the high cost of custom curved glass.▶ 20:56 Once temporarily clamped in place, the structure provides improved forward visibility and headroom in the saloon.▶ 19:37 Johan plans to order a single test window to verify the fit and quality before purchasing the full set of glass.▶ 21:26
