What this video covers

Johan and Malin are preparing their barn in Sweden for the construction of a new boat by dismantling a temporary workbench to clear space for a strong back.0:33 They plan to build the hull upside down, using 22 temporary frames spaced 700 millimeters apart.15:40 To ensure structural accuracy, they are using a green-beam laser to mark the center line and level the foundation.5:19 The pair initially intended to orient the stern toward the barn door to facilitate moving the hull outside for turning, but they reversed this decision after realizing the bow would be too close to an existing shed.5:47 By reversing the boat's orientation, they gain better access to the interior during construction and avoid structural modifications to the barn walls.13:34 The strong back will be anchored to the concrete floor using threaded rods set in epoxy, allowing for precise height adjustments.14:55 Once the hull is complete, they intend to convert the strong back into a cart to roll the vessel out of the barn.17:10
