After extensive research, they decide to build their own 43 foot sailboat out of steel. They find a house in rural Alberta, Canada to serve as their construction site. After spending nine months rennovating their new home, acquiring the necessary tools to work with steel, including welders, they finally begin construction on their boat. The first step is to trace plans for the webbing frames on a steel sheet then cut them out using a plasma saw. Next they cut the radius sections, built a strongback as a support, errect and brace the web frames. By the end of the episode, they have a skeleton structure that's starting to look like a boat.
