What this video covers
Jorman continues a 10-day boat restoration challenge at a boatyard in Porto Santo, Madeira, focusing on structural carpentry for the sailboat's deck.Watch Working without an assistant, he manually cuts and fits wooden inserts to create a core for subsequent fiberglass and resin application.3:07 He avoids working on the deck itself to prevent slipping on dust, opting instead to perform measurements and cuts at a ground-level workbench shared with a neighbor.3:54 The process requires repeated trips between the boat and the workbench to ensure precise fits for the custom-shaped wooden pieces.4:40 He emphasizes the importance of adaptability and maintaining a positive mindset during labor-intensive tasks, noting that the repetitive nature of sanding serves as a form of meditation.6:14 The project concludes with the successful installation of the wooden core, preparing the area for the next phase of structural reinforcement.13:46
