What this video covers

Sven Yrvind visits Martin Svets near Hycklinge to progress the construction of a cold-molded boat.Watch After completing the epoxy fillets in the hull corners, the focus shifts to fabricating the side bottoms.3:19 Yrvind uses a scribing tool to transfer the hull shape onto plywood panels, a technique he previously employed on three other cold-molded builds.4:23 Before installing the side panels, he applies epoxy to the undersides and paints the interior surfaces, noting that these areas will be inaccessible once the structure is permanently joined.4:42 The process involves an iterative approach where panels are measured, marked, and fitted to ensure accuracy before final bonding.3:56 The work continues with the preparation of the middle hull sections.6:23
