Mads improves the dust management in his 40-foot shipping container workshop by installing a Mullet cyclone dust collector paired with a DeWalt shop vacuum under his CNC table.0:51 He supplements this with a ceiling-mounted air filtration unit to capture fine airborne particles during CNC operations.1:12 To organize the workspace, he constructs sturdy shelves from Baltic birch offcuts and 2x4s, though he notes that running a planer and the vacuum simultaneously trips his 15A breaker.15:13

The primary project involves refining the production of clamshell covers for an Antares Yachts 44.16:24 After experiencing bridging and surface imperfections in initial vacuum-bagged epoxy parts, Mads attempts a second run using polyester resin and gelcoat to compare materials.18:05 He experiments with mold preparation and spray techniques, including thinning the primer with 8% reducer and using a 3M spray gun, to achieve better coverage on vertical foam surfaces.16:56 Despite initial curing issues with the gelcoat that remained inconclusive after consulting with Andy from Boatworks Today, the second attempt yields successful results.19:21
