SEASON 1 // EPISODE 5 // PART 2

Description

Our boat restoration project continues with constructing our steel boat with a handcrafted bowsprit, chain locker and custom hard dodger. We had to get really creative for building our steel sailboat. There were no CNC machines available for custom cuts so what we couldnt cut with a grinder we cut with a blow torch, like our custom made bowsprit. After we assembled the pieces we smoothed everything by hand to give it a machined look. Now our boat is looking completely new and nothing like the original!
