What this video covers
Jorman attempts to fabricate a new polycarbonate window for a sailboat restoration project by using the original window as a template.▶ 0:24 He secures the polycarbonate sheet to the original with adhesive tape and marks the cutting lines with a standard marker.▶ 0:46 He uses a Black & Decker power tool to cut the material, leaving a small margin outside the marked line to allow for final shaping and finishing with hand files.▶ 1:04 The process requires high precision to avoid damaging the single sheet of polycarbonate available.▶ 0:46 Work on the first window remains incomplete due to light rain, which forces Jorman to stop using power tools outdoors to prevent equipment damage.▶ 6:25 He notes that the project has been delayed throughout the week by similar weather conditions.▶ 4:55 The restoration requires significant time, financial investment, and persistence, often keeping the vessel out of the water for years.▶ 7:55
