Joshua strips the remaining topside paint from the port side of his 32-foot, 60-year-old wooden ketch.0:19 He removes 12 bronze chain plates from the hull to access the underlying wood.1:05 To improve efficiency, he adjusts his infrared heater to bring the lamp closer to the hull and plans to switch from carbon steel to carbide scrapers to maintain a sharper edge.5:00 He uses a sander equipped with mesh discs and a refurbished Makita backpack vacuum to manage dust.6:36 To reach the upper planks, he constructs a custom 18-inch-high wooden work platform from scrap material.10:49 With the help of friends, he completes the scraping process, including work on the bow trail boards.12:26 He finishes the surface with an orbital sander and a belt sander on the flatter sections.15:31 The exposed planking shows minimal rot, though he plans to install graving pieces and treat the wood with raw tung oil.17:06
