What this video covers

Sven Yrvind fabricates and installs wooden pegs for a boat project during the Swedish winter. He uses 23-millimetre wooden stock and a 22-millimetre drill bit, refining the fit by turning the pegs on a lathe until they slide smoothly into the drilled holes.1:48 To secure the joints, he applies epoxy and uses sandpaper to ensure a precise fit.2:45 During the drilling process, he encounters a bronze screw embedded in the material, which leaves visible copper traces at the bottom of the hole.4:38 When installing the pegs, trapped air in the tight-fitting joints causes them to push back out, requiring repeated tapping until the air escapes and the seam stabilises.5:41 The work takes place in a workshop environment while snow accumulates outside.
