Carpenter pauses beside finished wooden staircase under boat hull
Cosa tratta questo video
Joshua, a carpenter restoring a 1966 32-foot wooden sailboat in Nova Scotia, constructed a permanent staircase to replace a ladder for safer access to the vessel.0:24 He used stair gauges on a framing square to mark the rise and run on 2x12 stringers, adjusting the lower landing position to account for ground settling.1:11 He secured the stringers with a removable ledger at the top and a kicker at the bottom, then installed treads made from de-nailed, one-inch thick strapping.5:28 Birch poles served as newel posts for the handrail, which he trimmed to angle with a chainsaw.22:07 The project also included building a matching rail around the upper platform.26:19 Joshua plans to transition from infrastructure projects to engine removal and restoration, pending a consultation with a professional shipwright.32:54 He also announced a collaboration with Wooden Boat Magazine to assist with technical procedures and material selection for the ongoing restoration.29:51
