What this video covers

Sven Yrvind constructs custom wheels for a small, shallow-draft boat designed for high-latitude sailing.▶ 0:04 The design incorporates a central core of Tufnol surrounded by six layers of plywood to provide structural integrity for hauling the vessel up ramps, such as those found in the Falkland Islands.▶ 0:52 Yrvind glues the plywood layers to the Tufnol center, applying 14 kilograms of pressure to each section to ensure a consistent bond.▶ 1:35 He drills a 64 mm center hole to accommodate the axle and uses a laser to verify the diameter, subsequently trimming the assembly to the required size.▶ 3:18 To prevent rotation, he installs clamps during the curing process and adds a secondary center mark for safety.▶ 4:10 The construction process involves precise drilling and layering to ensure the wheels can withstand the compression forces required for land transport.
