What this video covers

Masha replaces the final rotten bulkheads in her boat, installing new supports for the bedroom floorboards.1:08 After priming the wood, she constructs two new benches to replace damaged sections.2:44 She uses a circular saw for straight cuts and a jigsaw for diagonal angles, noting that the second bench assembly proceeds faster than the first due to her increased familiarity with the tools.10:19 To maintain symmetry, she patches an original wood section with a new piece, bonding the joint with a mixture of resin and wood dust saved from sanding.14:52 She sands all surfaces to a smooth finish and applies oil to the wood.11:24 The project concludes with the installation of the new benches over sound-dampening slabs.16:50
