Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Joshua, a carpenter restoring a 1966 32-foot Japanese-built wooden sailboat in eastern Canada, is sourcing local larch—also known as hackmatack—for steam-bent boat frames.▶ 0:28 He selected larch for its rot resistance and historical use in Nova Scotia boat building, marking 11 trees on a friend's property for potential harvest.▶ 1:31 He plans to test the wood’s viability for steam bending by milling a single tree using a Husqvarna 266 chainsaw equipped with a skip-tooth ripping chain and a chainsaw mill.▶ 3:55 To facilitate transporting the timber, he purchased a 2000 Ford F-150 with a 5-speed manual transmission, 4x4, and a bed rack.▶ 6:06 The truck required significant mechanical work to pass a safety inspection, including a full rebuild of the rear drum brakes, replacement of a seized parking brake cable, and extensive rust repair on the truck bed and driver’s door.▶ 8:18 He utilized sheet metal from a junkyard door for patches, securing them with plug welds.▶ 17:06
