What this video covers
Johan and Malin continue the interior construction of their sailboat by laminating a large bulkhead and establishing a dedicated woodworking shop in their stable. Johan vacuum-bags a seven-square-meter bulkhead using PET foam and fiberglass, managing the curing process with an infrared heater and a 9-kilowatt electric fan to maintain temperature in the cold environment.4:42 He successfully installs the 40-kilogram panel into the hull after cutting a temporary door opening.18:47 Meanwhile, Malin tabs in smaller bulkheads in the shower area, experimenting with a technique of saturating two layers of fiberglass simultaneously to increase efficiency.16:39 To support future interior work, Johan acquires a sliding table saw at auction and converts the stable into a workshop by relocating stored lumber.0:17 The couple also decides to sell their current sailboat, Articus, due to time constraints following a previous engine failure.2:18 The new workshop setup and the completed bulkhead installation significantly advance the interior build process.
