What this video covers
Sven Yrvind fabricates a custom wheel-and-axis assembly for an amphibious, high-latitude boat designed for cold-water sailing. The construction process involves drilling 8mm and 13mm pilot holes into the axis components before expanding them to a 25mm diameter.▶ 1:09 Yrvind utilises a 25.5mm drill bit to ensure proper clearance for the axle, which mounts through the boat's keel and side walls.▶ 0:58 The assembly design incorporates a retaining pin to secure the wheel to the axis, ensuring structural integrity for the amphibious mechanism.▶ 1:46 Yrvind polishes the metal components to refine the fit and plans to conduct initial stress testing of the completed wheel system within his workshop.▶ 2:37
