What this video covers

Construction of the custom boat continues with the installation of structural bulkheads and the shear line shelf.0:29 Malin focuses on tabbing the bulkheads into the hull using fiberglass, while Johan, recovering from influenza, installs the shear line shelf along the hull sides.3:06 The shelf is constructed from Western Red Cedar sourced from Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, and is designed to tie the deck and hull together.12:10 To maintain the integrity of the watertight bulkhead between the engine room and living quarters, electrical cables and hoses will be routed through cable trays along the hull sides at waterline level, rising to deck height to pass through the bulkhead.18:08 Johan uses a router to shape the cedar shelf pieces and employs microfibers mixed with epoxy for gluing, preferring the mixture over colloidal silica for wood bonding.15:50 The team plans to install a cyclone dust extractor to improve shop conditions for future carpentry work.22:45
