Qué cubre este vídeo
Garrett and Ruth are adding a custom pilot house to their George Buehler sailboat as part of an ongoing refit. To ensure the structure aligns with the existing cabin and deck, Garrett constructs rigid plywood guides screwed into the cabin top to hold the port and starboard walls in position.▶ 0:25 He uses epoxy to create structural welds at the seams where the walls meet the deck and cabin, a method that allows for a secure, permanent attachment once glassed.▶ 1:29 To determine the deck crown for the aft wall, Garrett uses a series of "pokey bits"—small tabs marked along the deck—to trace a curve with a batten.▶ 3:48 He creates a separate pine template based on the original building plans to transfer the deck crown onto the roof panels.▶ 10:19 The crew maneuvers the large plywood panels into place, aiming for a fit that is tight enough for structural integrity but loose enough to accommodate an epoxy seam.▶ 16:27
