The Biggest Frames Yet! Wooden Boat Construction in the Jungle

The bulkheads are massive! In this episode of our wooden boat building journey, we return to Station 7 — the station we previously skipped due to a lack of quality Chechen wood. Now with Chechen marine triplay in hand, we tackle the largest bulkheads on the entire build, made extra tall by our 25cm cabin height raise. These aren't standard frames — each one is reinforced with an additional 20mm of glued wood on the inside for maximum strength where it matters most. Building a wood boat from scratch means every decision has consequences — and raising the cabin changed everything about how these bulkheads were designed and constructed. Whether you're planning your own DIY boat build or just love watching traditional woodworking in an unconventional setting, this one delivers. 🔨 In this video: • Station 7 — why we skipped it and why we're back • Extra-large bulkheads explained (25cm raised cabin impact) • 14mm Chechen marine triplay — material selection & cutting • Frame reinforcement — 20mm glued interior supports • What raising the cabin height really means for your build If you're following along with how to build a wooden boat, drop your questions below — happy to share what's working and what we'd do differently! 👍 Like, subscribe, and hit the bell to follow the full build from keel to launch. #WoodenBoatBuilding #BoatBuilding #DIYBoat #WoodBoat #BoatBuild #Bulkheads #ChechenWood #MarinePlywood #Woodworking #BoatConstruction #smallboat 00:00 Introduction 00:12 The largets bulkhead on this station 00:43 Raised cabin height with 25 cm 02:00 Description on station 7 03:44 Glueing extra 20 mm frame 03:47 Glueing the lower bulkheads 04:14 Floating Epoxy on the upper bulkheads 04:24 Applying the new better Epoxy on station 4 04:42 Applying the new Epoxy on station 5 04:46 Next video will be about the bow 04:56 Outro
