What this video covers
Johan and Malin attend the METSTRADE marine equipment show in Amsterdam to source gear for their 52-foot sailboat build.▶ 2:19 After returning to their workshop in southern Sweden, they resume construction on the forward cabin, specifically focusing on the bed frame and mattress support system.▶ 8:21 Johan uses okume timber for the internal structural frames, which will be painted white, and plans to install ventilated plywood platforms to prevent mattress condensation.▶ 13:16 He constructs the foot-end frame from 50mm-thick teak, which conceals the underlying watertight bulkhead.▶ 22:27 Because teak contains high levels of silica and natural oils, Johan cleans the wood surfaces with acetone before bonding joints with epoxy to ensure structural integrity.▶ 17:51 He also fabricates removable centerline support brackets to allow access to the watertight hatch and bow thruster compartment located beneath the bed.▶ 23:47
