What this video covers

Johan and Malin continue the interior build of their boat by installing bulkheads and preparing to laminate the largest bulkhead, which spans over 4 meters between the cabins and the utility room.12:00 To ensure structural symmetry, they align each bulkhead by measuring the distance from the shear line to the center line on both sides of the hull.2:17 They redesigned the cabin doors with rounded tops to increase height and improve clearance.2:40 The team uses PET foam panels and a CNC router to fabricate the bulkhead sections, which are then tabbed into the hull using thickened epoxy.8:56 A diesel heater maintains a workable temperature in the barn during sub-zero winter conditions to facilitate epoxy curing.5:47 The project also involves relocating their woodworking shop to an insulated stable to improve heating efficiency for future tasks.14:33 Johan plans to laminate the massive bulkhead in sections to manage the scale of the glass and epoxy application, delaying the process to wait for milder weather.7:13
