Qué cubre este vídeo

The conversion of a former fishing trawler into an expedition vessel continues with interior cabin construction and metal fabrication. The crew builds a new office bench and custom bunk furniture, including a headboard and leeboard, using 17mm plywood.6:44 To prevent rot and odors, all wooden components receive a multi-layer epoxy coating, sanded to a 240-grit finish for a smooth surface.38:11

Simultaneously, the team addresses structural warpage in steel sliders.0:14 After initial attempts to counteract heat-induced bending failed, they implement a new welding strategy: alternating six-to-eight-inch welds on opposite sides to balance contraction forces.32:35 They also use custom-cut steel wedges to hold the metal at a 43mm gap during the cooling process, combined with scrap alloy bar as a heat sink to maintain dimensional stability.33:26 A damaged MIG torch lead, previously suspected of causing gas flow issues, is identified and managed.26:47 The project remains focused on interior fit-out and structural steel alignment before the vessel returns to the water.
