Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Leo Goolden fabricates and shapes teak cap rails for a wooden sailing vessel, utilizing a multi-step process to achieve an organic, tapered profile. After dry-fitting the teak sections to the stanchions using mortise-and-tenon joints, he uses a router to round over the bottom edges.7:23 To create the top profile, he draws a scale design and planes the wood into a series of flat facets, increasing the number of faces to nine to approximate a curve.9:38 He applies chalk to the wood surface as a visual guide while planing freehand to ensure symmetry and fairness.15:44 He finishes the shaping by planing diagonally across the grain and sanding with 80-grit paper.16:23 The cap rails feature a wider section to serve as a pin rail for belaying lines.3:53 The teak will remain unfinished to provide better grip for crew and to avoid the high maintenance of varnish in an area prone to impact.19:27
