What this video covers

Edgar replaces a failing exterior staircase used to access his boat while it sits in a dry dock.0:03 The previous structure, built from cedrinho wood measuring approximately 20 by 2.5 centimetres, rotted and loosened, creating a safety hazard.1:08 To improve structural integrity, he constructs a new staircase using 5 by 15 centimetre cambará beams, which cost 295 reais.1:37 He cuts notches into the beams with a saw and chisel to ensure a secure fit and reinforces the joints with carriage bolts.2:00 The new staircase spans approximately 3.5 metres in height.5:58 Although the finished structure lacks a handrail, Edgar utilises existing scaffolding as a temporary support while he works to complete the installation.4:52 He notes that the staircase prioritizes utility and strength over the aesthetics required for permanent boat fixtures.5:48 The project is part of ongoing maintenance efforts to prepare the vessel for relaunching.6:25
