Cosa tratta questo video

A wooden tiller bushing on a Nutshell Pram rudder assembly failed — the original dowel piece had dried out, cracked, and had already been glued and taped once without lasting success.▶ 0:20 Kent sourced the same dowel stock used originally, drilled a half-inch hole into its end, and cut a new bushing, sizing it deep enough to potentially yield two pieces.▶ 0:59 He coated the new bushing inside and out with Dixo thickened epoxy to stabilize the dry wood and seal it against moisture, planning to re-drill the center hole with a quarter-inch bit once the epoxy cures, leaving a thin epoxy lining to block water intrusion.▶ 1:16 The bushing fits over a machine screw with washers and a nylon lock nut, and the notched end seats into the rudder cheek.▶ 0:02 After installation, Kent plans to wrap the outside with gaff tape for cushioning and additional protection.▶ 2:42 Saturating dry, brittle wooden hardware with thickened epoxy before final drilling preserves the wood and seals the bore without requiring a replacement part.
