The crew of the pocket catamaran Squib fabricates a custom bathroom vanity and an insulated housing for the boat's hot water boiler. To construct the vanity countertop, the team selects a wooden board and determines the sink placement, accounting for the vessel's non-square interior geometry and the clearance required for standard household plumbing fixtures.1:23 The project involves cutting a sink cutout and attaching a curved wooden edge strip, which is kerfed at 2–3 mm intervals to allow for bending.6:25 The builder bonds this trim using thickened epoxy, employing multiple clamps to hold the shape while the adhesive cures.13:17
For the hot water boiler, the crew builds a two-part wooden enclosure designed to be filled with spray foam insulation.9:14 To ensure the housing remains removable, the builder wraps the boiler tank in plastic before assembly.9:23 The process includes marking the base plate for the heating element and water connections, then securing the tank through these access points.8:44 The builder notes that pre-coating wood surfaces with unthickened epoxy before applying a thickened fillet improves bond strength.6:54
