Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A blacksmithing course at El Astero Verde in Punta Morales, Costa Rica, teaches local students and shipyard workers metalworking skills, including charcoal production and tool forging. Instructors demonstrate how to recycle chainsaw chains into high-carbon steel by heating them in a clay furnace to create a spongy iron bloom, which is then folded and hammered to remove slag.15:09 The educational initiative aims to provide vocational training for community members who traditionally rely on fishing and mollusk harvesting.20:01 Simultaneously, work continues on the construction of the vessel Ceiba at the adjacent shipyard.8:05 Back in the United States, cold temperatures below freezing force a delay in gluing a large oak plank for the boat Arabella, as the low ambient heat causes the adhesive to thicken prematurely.4:57 The crew shifts focus to rock climbing and trail maintenance while waiting for warmer weather to ensure a proper glue joint.5:26
