What this video covers
Two years of aluminum-framed construction give way to finished luxury interiors as the crew of Delos installs upholstered bulkhead panels, door frames, and cabinetry in the port-side cabins of their custom aluminum catamaran.0:11 Carpenters Steve and Steve spend two days fitting holly pan door jambs and trim — a prerequisite before upholsterer Michael can apply foam-backed fabric to the bulkheads using a spray-glue fast-set method.2:51 A supplier burns the first batch of bulkhead fabric, delaying the upholstery work by a week and illustrating the domino-effect scheduling that defines the build.8:33 During the delay, Dan installs gas struts under the bed platforms for easier under-berth storage access, and Brian fabricates a 48V-to-12V DC-to-DC converter panel that powers battery-bank contactors, allowing remote emergency shutdown of the entire 48V system from a single helm switch.11:19 Reolink cameras — including the Elite floodlight model and two OMV 3i 4K pan units — are mounted in the shop to capture build time-lapses and provide remote monitoring with person-tracking and two-way audio.6:22 The fast-mount snap-in panel system allows upholstery panels to be removed for systems access.20:47 The finished cabins mark one of the most visible transformations in the 71-part build.Watch
