Peter and Sabina install a new galley countertop on their boat, Squib, using a plywood template to account for the hull's curvature.0:06 They transfer the template shape to the countertop material, cutting the board with a jigsaw while adjusting for the inward slope of the cabin wall.9:52 To accommodate the stainless steel sink, they cut the countertop and modify the sink's structural metal tabs to clear the top drawer.11:25 The installation requires precise placement of the faucet holes to ensure the hardware remains accessible for mounting from underneath while avoiding interference with the hull's interior angle.13:15 During the process, they test a new triangular sander to smooth the edges and finish the wood.14:42 The project also involves installing a grounding cable for the sink, which requires specific attention to the provided copper and gold-plated washers.17:02 After the initial fitting, the countertop is removed for multiple coats of varnish before final installation.16:31
