What this video covers

The crew of Yabá constructs a custom interior table designed to convert into a bed, utilizing a plywood base and a decorative wood inlay.2:01 The project involves creating a raised outer handrail to prevent items from sliding off the surface.2:38 After initial attempts with an expanding adhesive caused alignment issues, the team switches to standard wood glue for the inlay pieces.15:01 They fill gaps between the wood segments with a mixture of wood powder and epoxy resin before final sanding.17:41 While the tabletop structure is complete, the installation remains pending as the crew evaluates options for a height-adjustable support system, considering either a custom-built nested wooden box or a metal mechanism.22:31 Parallel to the woodworking, the owner continues engine room maintenance, specifically welding pipes for the cooling water pumps.2:50 The table serves as a functional prototype for the interior refit as the vessel nears its launch date.
