Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Steve and his crew at Acorn To Arabella fabricate three fiberglass components for their wooden boat build at Narwhal Labs, a public makerspace operated by Total Boat.7:12 The projects include a custom refrigerator and freezer unit, an anchor locker for the forepeak, and a sole for the head.3:57 To build the refrigerator, Steve constructs a plug from scrap wood crates, wraps it in packing tape as a release agent, and applies 12-ounce biaxial cloth with slow-hardening epoxy.5:49 The anchor locker project involves glassing over a plywood core, using relief cuts in the fabric to manage compound curves and corners.19:02 For the head sole, the team uses cedar boards and applies peel-ply fabric over the final layer to create a textured, non-slip surface after curing.21:30 The team utilizes fillets and fiberglass tape to reinforce corners, prioritizing structural integrity for the refrigerator and durability for the chain-heavy anchor locker.9:37 The process confirms that fiberglass is an effective, complementary material for specific high-wear or waterproof areas within a wooden boat build.22:27
