What this video covers

Damien and Jess continue the refit of their 70-ton steel trawler, focusing on the fabrication and installation of a stainless steel galley bench.1:50 The project involves welding custom stainless corners, trimming the bench to fit the non-square cabin walls, and cutting a recess for a new gas hob using a plasma cutter.8:34 To bond the stainless steel top to the plywood substrate, they use Sikabond T55 polyurethane adhesive, weighting the assembly with a 70kg battery to ensure a flat bond.13:43 The crew also demonstrates polishing stainless steel using Josco Scotch-Brite flapper discs to achieve a finished surface.6:37 Separately, the pair tours an 18-meter aluminum vessel recently repowered with a 13-liter Yanmar 6-cylinder engine.17:33 This vessel features a 25,000-liter water ballast system, a five-ton freezer room, and insulated drip trays for air conditioning units to prevent condensation damage.21:35 The tour highlights the benefits of stainless steel galley surfaces and aluminum flooring for durability and fire resistance.22:25
