What this video covers

Edgar and Sâmia construct a folding dinette table for their boat, designed to convert into a bed base and provide dining space without obstructing the companionway stairs.6:00 The project involves applying Formica laminate to pre-sealed wood panels, using epoxy to secure hex-head bolts for the hinge mounts.8:18 To ensure precise installation of the hidden hinges, Edgar tests the routing process on scrap wood before using a new router to cut the final recesses.10:23 The finished table features a folding mechanism that allows it to remain compact during passages, maximising circulation space in the galley.13:28 The pair determines that the current size is sufficient for their needs, though they plan to incorporate a future extension if necessary.15:07 The project was completed with support from contributors who provided the table base, lumber, and laminate materials.15:41
