What this video covers
Johan and Malin continue the interior construction of their new boat in Sweden, focusing on the port and starboard side bed lockers.3:02 Johan installs 19mm closed-cell ArmaCell insulation before fabricating locker components from teak plywood.4:05 He uses a handheld Shaper CNC router to cut the lid and floor pieces, adjusting the port-side cutting file by 125mm to ensure aesthetic symmetry with the starboard side.8:40 To construct the complex head-end panel, Johan accounts for multiple compound angles where the piece meets the hull and bow.11:42 He applies a UV-cured varnish to all surfaces, including the back of the panels, to prevent moisture-related warping and ensure structural stability.13:44 Unlike traditional oil-based finishes, this UV-cured product remains stable on rags and provides a predictable, run-free finish.15:20 The crew plans to sand the final installation to achieve a uniform satin sheen once all interior joinery is complete.20:00
