Steve, owner of the 38-ft boat Arabella, performs winter maintenance and crafts custom cold-weather gear while docked in Corner Brook, Newfoundland. To address soot accumulation and minor smoke leakage from the Dickinson diesel heater’s stovepipe, he seals a loose joint using high-temperature silicone sealant rated for 400 degrees Fahrenheit.1:54 He verifies the pipe’s surface temperature with an infrared heat gun to ensure the sealant remains within its operational limits.2:21

Separately, Steve constructs handmade fur slippers and over-mitts for his partner, Robin, using moose leather, beaver fur, coyote fur, and seal skin offcuts.11:02 He creates patterns for the slippers by spiling paper around a boot, then glues the materials using heavy-duty contact cement in a well-ventilated area.8:17 The slippers feature memory foam insoles and a double-layered moose leather sole, while the over-mitts are designed to fit over existing down mittens for added warmth during winter activities.27:17
