Two men inspect wooden boat hull under construction
O que este vídeo aborda
Joshua continues the restoration of a 1966 32-foot Japanese-built wooden sailboat in eastern Canada.▶ 0:35 He tests a chainsaw mill on a spruce log, successfully producing a 2 1/4-inch slab to evaluate its potential for milling future boat frames.▶ 3:12 Mechanical work includes removing the 1.6 VW diesel engine and transmission, assisted by a crane truck to avoid further strain on a leg injury.▶ 7:01 A comparison with a spare cylinder head confirms that the donor part is incompatible with the existing engine.▶ 11:01 Andrew, a professional shipwright from Lunenburg, visits to inspect the hull.▶ 13:56 He notes that while the planking remains sound, the frames show unusual rot patterns, likely caused by the boat sitting full of water.▶ 14:43 Andrew advises salvaging the high-quality timber from the deck and recommends using square-shank boat nails for the new framing.▶ 17:28 Joshua plans to continue clearing the hull and sourcing timber for the upcoming frame replacement.▶ 18:06
