What this video covers
Peter and Sabina install a new kitchen cabinet unit and custom drawers aboard their boat, *Squib*.1:29 The installation requires significant modification to the drawer frames, as the hull’s curvature and the uneven bulkhead prevent the unit from sitting flush against the interior wall. Peter grinds down the rear corners of the drawers to accommodate the narrowing hull shape, while Sabina applies Sikaflex sealant to secure the cabinet structure.4:11 The team uses epoxy thickened with Aerosil and microballoons to fill gaps and seal the unit against the bulkhead.0:46 After multiple test-fits and adjustments to the drawer depths, the unit is successfully aligned and secured.9:41 The project concludes with the cabinet installation, though Peter notes that additional structural reinforcement, including laminating a fillet to the center bulkhead, remains for a future session.14:51 Peter also plans to repurpose leftover wood strips from a recently completed rub rail project to replace the stern railing.15:31
