To facilitate the repair of a hurricane-damaged Antares Yachts 44, the project requires fabricating new acrylic windows and repairing the port eyebrow.0:16 Because replacement windows cost approximately $20,000, the owner is constructing a 4-foot by 7-foot by 2-foot insulated aluminum oven to heat-form 10mm acrylic sheets at a fraction of the cost.0:41 The oven will utilize 2.2-kilowatt fin heaters, PID controllers, and high-temperature convection fans.7:01

To create space for this work in a shipping container workshop, the owner installed a wall-mounted winch and rope clutch to hoist a CNC table toward the ceiling.1:34 The winch, salvaged from the boat, showed significant pitting and wear, likely from hurricane-related submersion.3:31 The owner secured the table using custom Dyneema loops.12:01 The damaged port eyebrow is being restored with fiberglass and structural putty to serve as a plug for a two-part mold.14:57 The owner plans to use this mold to cast a replacement part, as the original component sustained extensive delamination, core damage, and surface cracking.14:28
