Narrator:
Today on "How it's made"...
4
00:00:40,482 --> 00:00:41,862
And...
5
00:00:53,448 --> 00:00:57,724
Many industries require pumping
A wide variety of liquids.
6
00:00:57,724 --> 00:00:59,517
And there are many
Different kinds of pumps
7
00:00:59,517 --> 00:01:00,724
That can do that.
8
00:01:00,724 --> 00:01:03,482
One type, the hollow
Rotary disk pump,
9
00:01:03,482 --> 00:01:06,862
Uses a rotating disk
To create sufficient suction
10
00:01:06,862 --> 00:01:08,689
To move thin
Or thick liquids
11
00:01:08,689 --> 00:01:11,172
In a forward
Or reverse direction.
12
00:01:13,482 --> 00:01:15,344
When the pump in the blue runs,
13
00:01:15,344 --> 00:01:18,310
A hollow disk
Inside it oscillates.
14
00:01:18,310 --> 00:01:20,034
This creates suction,
15
00:01:20,034 --> 00:01:22,241
Drawing liquid
Into one side of the pump
16
00:01:22,241 --> 00:01:25,379
And pushing it out the other.
17
00:01:25,379 --> 00:01:27,344
Some of the pump components
Are cast
18
00:01:27,344 --> 00:01:29,034
In sand molds like this one
19
00:01:29,034 --> 00:01:32,862
For casting the first part
Of the pump's two-part body.
20
00:01:32,862 --> 00:01:35,137
The molten iron
Takes a few hours
21
00:01:35,137 --> 00:01:38,310
To cool and solidify
Inside the mold cavity.
22
00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:40,241
Then, a vibrating machine
23
00:01:40,241 --> 00:01:44,931
Breaks the sand mold
To release the cast part.
24
00:01:44,931 --> 00:01:46,655
A computer-guided
Milling machine
25
00:01:46,655 --> 00:01:48,724
Then finishes the shape.
26
00:01:48,724 --> 00:01:50,206
The cut-off pieces of iron
27
00:01:50,206 --> 00:01:51,413
Go back into the furnace
28
00:01:51,413 --> 00:01:54,379
To be melted down
For subsequent castings.
29
00:01:57,551 --> 00:01:58,896
After it's cast,
30
00:01:58,896 --> 00:02:01,758
The second part
Of the pump's body is machined
31
00:02:01,758 --> 00:02:05,482
To its final shape
On a computer-guided lathe.
32
00:02:05,482 --> 00:02:09,137
The pump's hollow disk,
33
00:02:09,137 --> 00:02:11,758
Which the lathe machines
From a bar of steel,
34
00:02:11,758 --> 00:02:13,620
Requires a complex cut
35
00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:17,482
That only this electric
Disk charge machine can perform.
36
00:02:17,482 --> 00:02:20,206
Its cutting tool
Is a gold wire charged
37
00:02:20,206 --> 00:02:23,241
With a high-voltage current
Conducted by water.
38
00:02:23,241 --> 00:02:24,758
Guided by a computer,
39
00:02:24,758 --> 00:02:27,689
The wire erodes
The metal in its path,
40
00:02:27,689 --> 00:02:30,620
Cutting a teardrop-shaped
Opening in the disk.
41
00:02:30,620 --> 00:02:32,862
A laser printer engraves
A part number
42
00:02:32,862 --> 00:02:35,896
And a batch number
On the finished disk.
43
00:02:35,896 --> 00:02:38,310
To assemble the pump,
A worker begins
44
00:02:38,310 --> 00:02:40,793
With the first part
Of the two-part body.
45
00:02:40,793 --> 00:02:44,517
The worker applies glue
To the shaft sleeve and inserts
46
00:02:44,517 --> 00:02:46,586
It into a channel
From the front.
47
00:02:50,413 --> 00:02:52,344
Next, they insert a lantern ring
48
00:02:52,344 --> 00:02:54,655
Into the same channel
From the back.
49
00:02:56,862 --> 00:03:00,655
The worker places a bearing
On top of the lantern ring.
50
00:03:07,206 --> 00:03:11,482
Then, from the other side,
They insert one more bearing.
51
00:03:20,896 --> 00:03:23,068
The worker inserts
The pump shaft
52
00:03:23,068 --> 00:03:25,620
Through all the bearings
In the channel.
53
00:03:25,620 --> 00:03:27,689
The bearings minimize friction,
54
00:03:27,689 --> 00:03:31,517
Enabling the shaft
To rotate smoothly.
55
00:03:31,517 --> 00:03:33,344
Along with this
Retaining clip,
56
00:03:33,344 --> 00:03:35,448
The bearings also prevent
The shaft
57
00:03:35,448 --> 00:03:38,310
From moving up and down
Or shifting side by side
58
00:03:38,310 --> 00:03:42,275
With the pump's movement.
59
00:03:42,275 --> 00:03:45,103
Workers take the second part
Of the pump's body
60
00:03:45,103 --> 00:03:46,517
And glue a bronze plate,
61
00:03:46,517 --> 00:03:51,206
Called a diaphragm,
Into a groove at the top.
62
00:03:51,206 --> 00:03:53,862
Then they join
The two parts of the body,
63
00:03:53,862 --> 00:03:56,862
Placing a gasket in between
To prevent leaks.
64
00:03:56,862 --> 00:04:00,275
The gasket is made
Of special gasket paper
65
00:04:00,275 --> 00:04:03,241
Like the type used
In car engine piping.
66
00:04:07,172 --> 00:04:09,724
The workers fasten
The two parts of the body
67
00:04:09,724 --> 00:04:11,586
With 10 massive bolts
68
00:04:11,586 --> 00:04:13,620
And install a heavy-duty
Steel spring
69
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:16,413
In a groove in the shaft.
70
00:04:16,413 --> 00:04:20,862
A steel cap keeps the spring
Firmly in position.
71
00:04:20,862 --> 00:04:22,965
The worker compresses the spring
72
00:04:22,965 --> 00:04:26,827
With a tool and inserts
A bronze stem bushing.
73
00:04:26,827 --> 00:04:28,586
This spring loading is critical
74
00:04:28,586 --> 00:04:30,586
Because it enables the disk
75
00:04:30,586 --> 00:04:32,655
To adapt to thin
Or thick liquids
76
00:04:32,655 --> 00:04:35,000
Without clogging
Or getting damaged.
77
00:04:37,068 --> 00:04:39,896
Now, they mount the hollow
Disk onto the bushing
78
00:04:39,896 --> 00:04:42,310
And bolt on the front cover.
79
00:04:42,310 --> 00:04:44,586
When the motor turns
The pump's shaft,
80
00:04:44,586 --> 00:04:47,344
The hollow disk oscillates
Around the diaphragm,
81
00:04:47,344 --> 00:04:50,724
Which acts as a barrier,
Separating the suction side
82
00:04:50,724 --> 00:04:54,275
Of the pump
From the discharge side.
83
00:04:54,275 --> 00:04:56,275
This plate covers
Where the customer
84
00:04:56,275 --> 00:04:59,206
Will later
Install a safety valve.
85
00:04:59,206 --> 00:05:02,379
The oscillating hollow disk
Produces suction,
86
00:05:02,379 --> 00:05:04,620
Which pulls liquid
Through the inlet port,
87
00:05:04,620 --> 00:05:08,551
Then out the opposite side,
Through the outlet port.
88
00:05:08,551 --> 00:05:10,931
Workers mask the inlet
And outlet ports
89
00:05:10,931 --> 00:05:14,413
Before spray-painting the pump.
90
00:05:14,413 --> 00:05:17,517
Next, the worker installs
A metal coupling joint,
91
00:05:17,517 --> 00:05:19,551
Which is comprised
Of several parts,
92
00:05:19,551 --> 00:05:21,172
Including rubber members,
93
00:05:21,172 --> 00:05:22,965
Which make the joint
Flexible enough
94
00:05:22,965 --> 00:05:24,655
To withstand some vibration
95
00:05:24,655 --> 00:05:26,862
Or slight misalignment
Of the connection
96
00:05:26,862 --> 00:05:30,310
Between the pump
And the gear reducer.
97
00:05:30,310 --> 00:05:32,586
The gear reducer acts
As the middleman
98
00:05:32,586 --> 00:05:35,448
Between the motor
And the pump,
99
00:05:35,448 --> 00:05:38,448
Lowering the motor speed
Of 1,800 revolutions
100
00:05:38,448 --> 00:05:41,241
Per minute
To the disk oscillation speed
101
00:05:41,241 --> 00:05:43,896
Of approximately 300 revolutions
Per minute.
102
00:05:43,896 --> 00:05:46,689
Such slow rotation
Speed is critical,
103
00:05:46,689 --> 00:05:50,827
As it enables the pump to move
Even very thick fluids.
104
00:05:50,827 --> 00:05:53,448
The disk can also
Rotate in reverse
105
00:05:53,448 --> 00:05:57,344
So that liquid can be loaded
Or unloaded using the same pump.
106
00:06:08,344 --> 00:06:10,689
Narrator:
Palmyra palm sugar is derived
107
00:06:10,689 --> 00:06:12,172
From the palmyra palm tree
108
00:06:12,172 --> 00:06:14,344
And is considered
A healthier form of sweetener
109
00:06:14,344 --> 00:06:15,689
Than many others,
110
00:06:15,689 --> 00:06:18,310
Just 41 on the glycemic index
111
00:06:18,310 --> 00:06:22,000
With only 1/10th ounce
Of fructose per 3 1/2 ounces.
112
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,896
It's also one
Of the few plant-based
113
00:06:23,896 --> 00:06:26,103
Sources of vitamin b12.
114
00:06:29,206 --> 00:06:31,103
Palmyra palm sugar
Doesn't come out
115
00:06:31,103 --> 00:06:32,413
Of the palmyra palm tree
116
00:06:32,413 --> 00:06:33,793
Looking like this.
117
00:06:33,793 --> 00:06:35,827
From harvesting
To processing,
118
00:06:35,827 --> 00:06:38,103
There are many steps
Between the tree
119
00:06:38,103 --> 00:06:40,724
And the ultimate product.
120
00:06:40,724 --> 00:06:44,379
The tree produces the round
Fruit seen on the right
121
00:06:44,379 --> 00:06:49,172
And the cylindrical flower
Cluster on the left.
122
00:06:49,172 --> 00:06:52,448
A palm sugar harvester
Prepares specialized containers
123
00:06:52,448 --> 00:06:54,103
For harvesting the sap
124
00:06:54,103 --> 00:06:57,344
By threading twine
Through a hole near the rim.
125
00:06:57,344 --> 00:07:00,000
These tubes are
Made from bamboo.
126
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,931
And in thailand, they're
Called...
127
00:07:04,758 --> 00:07:07,827
The harvester adds wood chips
To the tubes.
128
00:07:07,827 --> 00:07:10,551
The wood chips come
From the shorea tree,
129
00:07:10,551 --> 00:07:12,413
Which is called...
In thailand.
130
00:07:12,413 --> 00:07:16,413
The chips well help prevent
The sap from fermenting.
131
00:07:19,034 --> 00:07:23,206
Some palmyra trees are
More than 100 years old.
132
00:07:23,206 --> 00:07:24,931
Here, the harvester climbs
133
00:07:24,931 --> 00:07:28,000
A ladder that reaches up
Around 66 feet.
134
00:07:31,586 --> 00:07:32,862
At the top of the tree,
135
00:07:32,862 --> 00:07:35,034
The harvester uses a machete
136
00:07:35,034 --> 00:07:37,793
To cut the tip off
The palmyra flowers.
137
00:07:41,206 --> 00:07:43,000
Safely on the ground,
138
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,448
He demonstrates
What he does up in the tree.
139
00:07:46,448 --> 00:07:49,965
He starts by binding together
Two of the cylindrical flowers
140
00:07:49,965 --> 00:07:52,862
And then carefully
Trimming off their tips.
141
00:07:56,655 --> 00:08:00,344
Where they've been cut,
The flowers exude drops of sap,
142
00:08:00,344 --> 00:08:04,551
Which will collect
In the bamboo tubes.
143
00:08:04,551 --> 00:08:08,862
Up in the tree, the harvester
Secures the tubes in place.
144
00:08:08,862 --> 00:08:11,379
Having swapped empty tubes
For full ones,
145
00:08:11,379 --> 00:08:16,344
He brings the sap he's collected
To an outdoor stove.
146
00:08:16,344 --> 00:08:19,689
The harvester prepares
A basket covered
147
00:08:19,689 --> 00:08:24,344
With several layers of gauze
To filter the liquid.
148
00:08:24,344 --> 00:08:26,206
He then slowly and carefully
149
00:08:26,206 --> 00:08:28,379
Pours the sap
Through the filters,
150
00:08:28,379 --> 00:08:30,034
Into the wok below.
151
00:08:30,034 --> 00:08:33,068
The harvesting
Stage is complete.
152
00:08:33,068 --> 00:08:35,655
Production now begins.
153
00:08:35,655 --> 00:08:39,172
The filtered sap
Now boils away in the wok
154
00:08:39,172 --> 00:08:41,448
For approximately 45 minutes
155
00:08:41,448 --> 00:08:43,793
As it thickens into a sugar.
156
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,965
The worker takes advantage
Of the hot oven fire
157
00:08:48,965 --> 00:08:52,482
To sterilize his bamboo tubes.
158
00:08:52,482 --> 00:08:54,965
He turns them upside-down,
One by one,
159
00:08:54,965 --> 00:08:57,379
Over small holes in the oven.
160
00:08:57,379 --> 00:09:02,034
The worker must
Harvest twice a day.
161
00:09:02,034 --> 00:09:04,793
If he doesn't, the cuts
Will heal over too much.
162
00:09:04,793 --> 00:09:07,517
And he'll be forced to wait
For a specific period of time
163
00:09:07,517 --> 00:09:09,793
Before making additional cuts
164
00:09:09,793 --> 00:09:12,310
In order to prevent damage
To the tree.
165
00:09:16,068 --> 00:09:18,896
The boiling process
Thickens the sap.
166
00:09:18,896 --> 00:09:20,310
And the worker must stir it
Frequently
167
00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:22,241
To keep it from sticking.
168
00:09:25,172 --> 00:09:29,862
After roughly 30 minutes,
The sap begins to turn white.
169
00:09:29,862 --> 00:09:32,344
The tubes are now
Thoroughly sterilized.
170
00:09:32,344 --> 00:09:35,137
And the worker can remove them
And let them cool.
171
00:09:37,827 --> 00:09:41,793
The bubbling sap has now been
Reduced to a thick substance.
172
00:09:41,793 --> 00:09:45,551
The worker removes the pan
From the heat source.
173
00:09:45,551 --> 00:09:50,275
It's ready for the next phase
On its path to becoming sugar.
174
00:09:50,275 --> 00:09:52,965
Although it's often referred to
As palm sugar,
175
00:09:52,965 --> 00:09:55,275
It's also known as jaggery.
176
00:09:58,586 --> 00:10:01,931
The worker now uses
A custom-made whisking tool
177
00:10:01,931 --> 00:10:05,310
To thoroughly mix the jaggery.
178
00:10:05,310 --> 00:10:07,137
Shaped like a large spring,
179
00:10:07,137 --> 00:10:11,448
The whisk helps cool the sugar
While mixing it.
180
00:10:11,448 --> 00:10:14,827
He continues mixing the jaggery
Until it thickens and cools
181
00:10:14,827 --> 00:10:17,000
To a paste-like consistency.
182
00:10:20,344 --> 00:10:23,586
At this point, the jaggery
Is too thick for the whisk.
183
00:10:23,586 --> 00:10:26,862
So the worker continues
Mixing it with a simple stick.
184
00:10:28,896 --> 00:10:31,827
Finally, the sugar cools
And dries to a thick,
185
00:10:31,827 --> 00:10:33,310
Flaky texture,
186
00:10:33,310 --> 00:10:37,551
Ready to be packaged
And shipped around the world.
187
00:10:37,551 --> 00:10:40,482
It has taken nearly
A gallon of palmyra palm sap
188
00:10:40,482 --> 00:10:43,172
To create roughly 2 1/4 pounds
189
00:10:43,172 --> 00:10:46,413
Of this highly nutritious
Alternative sweetener.
190
00:10:58,827 --> 00:11:01,586
Narrator: the first yachts
Were simple, sturdy vessels
191
00:11:01,586 --> 00:11:05,206
Used to take explorers
On voyages of discovery.
192
00:11:05,206 --> 00:11:08,137
Today's yachts are
Floating vacation homes.
193
00:11:08,137 --> 00:11:10,000
Equipped with every convenience,
194
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,379
The luxuries increase
With the scale of the vessel.
195
00:11:13,379 --> 00:11:15,137
Modern yachts are
The ultimate way
196
00:11:15,137 --> 00:11:17,137
To explore the coastline.
197
00:11:20,793 --> 00:11:22,620
If you can afford one of these,
198
00:11:22,620 --> 00:11:24,344
You're living the dream.
199
00:11:24,344 --> 00:11:25,689
This motor yacht offers
200
00:11:25,689 --> 00:11:29,931
All the comforts of home
On the water.
201
00:11:29,931 --> 00:11:34,379
Making this mid-sized yacht
Starts with a mold for the hull.
202
00:11:34,379 --> 00:11:36,793
The team sprays
A gel-coat paint
203
00:11:36,793 --> 00:11:39,793
Onto the entire inner surface
Of the mold.
204
00:11:39,793 --> 00:11:44,517
This paint will transfer
To the hull during molding.
205
00:11:44,517 --> 00:11:48,827
They layer fiberglass strips
Around a p.V.C foam core
206
00:11:48,827 --> 00:11:52,310
And create a series of
Distribution channels for resin.
207
00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:54,379
The crew now drapes
An enormous sheet
208
00:11:54,379 --> 00:11:57,758
Of clear plastic
Over the materials in the mold
209
00:11:57,758 --> 00:12:00,517
And seals the edges with tape.
210
00:12:00,517 --> 00:12:03,344
The crew leaves a lot of slack
In the plastic
211
00:12:03,344 --> 00:12:06,517
To conform
To the mold's deep recesses.
212
00:12:06,517 --> 00:12:10,586
A vacuum hose suctions out
The air beneath the plastic.
213
00:12:10,586 --> 00:12:13,827
The crew then connects
Plastic tubing to the ports
214
00:12:13,827 --> 00:12:16,758
In the distribution channels.
215
00:12:16,758 --> 00:12:21,758
All this plastic tubing leads
To one place -- the vacuum pump.
216
00:12:21,758 --> 00:12:24,793
The vacuum pulls resin
Through the network of tubing,
217
00:12:24,793 --> 00:12:28,517
Into the ports and through
The distribution channels.
218
00:12:28,517 --> 00:12:31,137
The resin saturates
The fiberglass strips
219
00:12:31,137 --> 00:12:33,965
That surround
The p.V.C. Foam core.
220
00:12:33,965 --> 00:12:37,482
The vacuum sucks the layers
Into a tight sandwich
221
00:12:37,482 --> 00:12:41,586
And pulls out more air
And excess resin.
222
00:12:41,586 --> 00:12:44,517
A worker pulls the plastic away
From dry spots
223
00:12:44,517 --> 00:12:47,586
So the resin flows
Into these areas.
224
00:12:47,586 --> 00:12:49,344
The resin cures,
225
00:12:49,344 --> 00:12:52,310
And the fiberglass
Layers harden.
226
00:12:52,310 --> 00:12:54,379
The next day,
The team removes
227
00:12:54,379 --> 00:12:57,000
The plastic sheet
From the molded part.
228
00:13:02,517 --> 00:13:05,000
They pull off
The resin distribution channels
229
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,034
And the ports.
230
00:13:08,034 --> 00:13:11,448
A crane lifts the newly molded
Hull out of the mold.
231
00:13:13,827 --> 00:13:18,689
The gel coat has adhered to it,
Giving it a glossy finish.
232
00:13:18,689 --> 00:13:22,068
The crane transfers the hull
To a wooden cradle.
233
00:13:24,551 --> 00:13:28,758
Next, they create
The yacht's deck.
234
00:13:28,758 --> 00:13:30,310
The crew covers some areas
235
00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:32,620
Of the mold in plastic
To protect them
236
00:13:32,620 --> 00:13:35,896
From the first gel coat
In a 2-toned paint job.
237
00:13:39,655 --> 00:13:43,000
After the first color goes on,
They gel-coat the areas
238
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,827
That had been
Covered in plastic.
239
00:13:45,827 --> 00:13:49,344
This two-toned paint job
Is done for aesthetic reasons.
240
00:13:49,344 --> 00:13:51,379
But it also color-codes
The areas
241
00:13:51,379 --> 00:13:54,482
That have a nonskid texture.
242
00:13:54,482 --> 00:14:00,620
Like the hull, the crew makes
The deck mainly from fiberglass.
243
00:14:00,620 --> 00:14:04,448
A worker cuts out the strips
In different sizes.
244
00:14:04,448 --> 00:14:07,344
The fabrics have
Various thicknesses and weaves,
245
00:14:07,344 --> 00:14:11,413
All geared to the deck's
Structural requirements.
246
00:14:11,413 --> 00:14:13,793
He numbers the pieces
To designate their placement
247
00:14:13,793 --> 00:14:16,448
In the mold.
248
00:14:16,448 --> 00:14:19,000
And the worker stacks them
Sequentially.
249
00:14:22,724 --> 00:14:24,586
After arranging some
Of the fiberglass strips
250
00:14:24,586 --> 00:14:25,896
In the mold,
251
00:14:25,896 --> 00:14:28,068
The crew builds up the deck
In certain areas
252
00:14:28,068 --> 00:14:31,724
Using pieces of balsa wood.
253
00:14:31,724 --> 00:14:33,965
Balsa wood is
Extremely lightweight.
254
00:14:33,965 --> 00:14:35,241
But it will add strength
255
00:14:35,241 --> 00:14:38,965
When laminated into
The fiberglass sandwich.
256
00:14:38,965 --> 00:14:41,068
The strategic placement
Of the balsa wood
257
00:14:41,068 --> 00:14:44,068
In high-traffic areas
Creates a solid core
258
00:14:44,068 --> 00:14:46,137
That will hold up to heavy use.
259
00:14:48,655 --> 00:14:50,793
A worker lays
More fiberglass strips,
260
00:14:50,793 --> 00:14:54,379
Encapsulating the balsa wood.
261
00:14:54,379 --> 00:14:55,827
They'll laminate the layers
262
00:14:55,827 --> 00:14:59,034
With resin the way
They did with the hull.
263
00:14:59,034 --> 00:15:03,310
The crew also makes
The roof structure the same way.
264
00:15:03,310 --> 00:15:05,896
A boat builder applies
Putty to the fiberglass
265
00:15:05,896 --> 00:15:08,379
To even out any irregularities.
266
00:15:10,965 --> 00:15:13,448
And after grinding
The hardened putty smooth,
267
00:15:13,448 --> 00:15:17,310
They spread polishing compound
On all the yacht's body parts.
268
00:15:19,827 --> 00:15:21,517
The worker buffs the fiberglass
269
00:15:21,517 --> 00:15:24,482
Until the glossy surface
Gleams even more.
270
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,241
Using a router, the crew cuts
Out holes for lights,
271
00:15:32,241 --> 00:15:35,586
Portholes and other features.
272
00:15:35,586 --> 00:15:37,620
An inspector taps the fiberglass
273
00:15:37,620 --> 00:15:40,068
To check for air voids
That would compromise
274
00:15:40,068 --> 00:15:42,793
The yacht's structural
Integrity.
275
00:15:42,793 --> 00:15:45,862
He confirms that
Everything is shipshape.
276
00:15:45,862 --> 00:15:49,586
Production now moves
To the yacht's interior.
277
00:15:49,586 --> 00:15:52,310
We'll have the inside
Information coming up.
278
00:16:02,275 --> 00:16:05,034
Narrator: a motor yacht is
A home away from home.
279
00:16:05,034 --> 00:16:07,310
It's usually equipped
With a full kitchen,
280
00:16:07,310 --> 00:16:08,724
One or more bathrooms,
281
00:16:08,724 --> 00:16:11,931
And luxurious common areas
Called salons.
282
00:16:11,931 --> 00:16:13,275
Everything is designed to fit
283
00:16:13,275 --> 00:16:15,862
Into the limited space
Below deck.
284
00:16:15,862 --> 00:16:17,482
The waters may get rough.
285
00:16:17,482 --> 00:16:19,068
But in the yacht's
Private quarters,
286
00:16:19,068 --> 00:16:22,448
The living is easy.
287
00:16:22,448 --> 00:16:24,206
With the bulkheads
Now in place,
288
00:16:24,206 --> 00:16:27,413
The hull is ready
For furnishings and fittings.
289
00:16:27,413 --> 00:16:30,275
A computerized router cuts
American cherry wood
290
00:16:30,275 --> 00:16:33,275
To a set of exact measurements.
291
00:16:33,275 --> 00:16:37,689
This particular piece will be
Part of a storage locker.
292
00:16:37,689 --> 00:16:40,000
At another station,
A craftsman glues
293
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,551
A dozen cherry strips
Together for a valence.
294
00:16:43,551 --> 00:16:45,586
These laminated strips
Will be easier
295
00:16:45,586 --> 00:16:49,724
To bend to the desired shape
Than a thick board.
296
00:16:49,724 --> 00:16:52,413
He wraps them in wax paper
To prevent the glue
297
00:16:52,413 --> 00:16:55,413
From seeping out
During bending.
298
00:16:55,413 --> 00:16:57,482
The team places
The laminated strips
299
00:16:57,482 --> 00:16:59,965
Between the two parts
Of a bending jig.
300
00:17:02,413 --> 00:17:05,206
They clamp the jig
To close it tightly.
301
00:17:07,448 --> 00:17:09,551
The adhesive sets overnight.
302
00:17:09,551 --> 00:17:11,517
And the wood hardens
To the curved shape
303
00:17:11,517 --> 00:17:15,310
Of the bending jig.
304
00:17:15,310 --> 00:17:17,344
The woodworker now clamps
The valence
305
00:17:17,344 --> 00:17:20,965
To the workbench to steady it
As he trims the edges.
306
00:17:23,448 --> 00:17:25,724
He positions a template
On the valence
307
00:17:25,724 --> 00:17:27,310
And follows it
With a router
308
00:17:27,310 --> 00:17:30,724
To cut out a hole
For an air-conditioning vent.
309
00:17:30,724 --> 00:17:32,137
Yes.
The yacht will be equipped
310
00:17:32,137 --> 00:17:34,655
With air conditioning.
311
00:17:40,344 --> 00:17:42,206
The woodworker inserts
The custom
312
00:17:42,206 --> 00:17:44,034
Wooden vent in the hole.
313
00:17:46,344 --> 00:17:49,448
Turning now to
The salon's coffee table,
314
00:17:49,448 --> 00:17:51,586
A router cuts holes
In the cherry wood
315
00:17:51,586 --> 00:17:55,551
While bristles
Keep the dust down.
316
00:17:55,551 --> 00:17:57,172
A worker applies glue
317
00:17:57,172 --> 00:18:01,344
And inserts pieces of maple
Into the cutouts.
318
00:18:01,344 --> 00:18:02,896
He lightly hammers the pieces
319
00:18:02,896 --> 00:18:07,310
To drive them further
Into the holes.
320
00:18:07,310 --> 00:18:10,827
Then, it's into
An automated sander.
321
00:18:10,827 --> 00:18:14,620
It sands the inlaid wood
Flush to the cherry tabletop.
322
00:18:17,655 --> 00:18:21,793
A crew now brushes varnish
Onto all the wood pieces.
323
00:18:21,793 --> 00:18:23,965
The varnish enhances
The wood grain.
324
00:18:23,965 --> 00:18:25,931
And it protects the surface.
325
00:18:28,724 --> 00:18:30,517
After the varnish dries,
326
00:18:30,517 --> 00:18:33,793
Another worker polishes
The wood to a high sheen.
327
00:18:36,827 --> 00:18:38,896
A worker then screws
Pedestal hardware
328
00:18:38,896 --> 00:18:40,379
Into the back of each table
329
00:18:40,379 --> 00:18:43,241
To prepare them for
Installation in the yacht.
330
00:18:47,310 --> 00:18:48,482
The hull has been equipped
331
00:18:48,482 --> 00:18:51,000
With the two diesel engines
At the back.
332
00:18:53,482 --> 00:18:55,724
A worker now assembles
The clothing locker
333
00:18:55,724 --> 00:18:57,724
In the guest stateroom.
334
00:19:02,689 --> 00:19:04,724
And in the master stateroom,
335
00:19:04,724 --> 00:19:09,310
Construction on the en suite
Bathroom is underway.
336
00:19:09,310 --> 00:19:12,862
The worker screws
The toilet in place
337
00:19:12,862 --> 00:19:15,413
And connects the water
And waste hoses.
338
00:19:18,551 --> 00:19:20,206
They roughen a utility room
339
00:19:20,206 --> 00:19:23,000
For a washer and dryer
At the back of the yacht,
340
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,275
Next to the mechanical systems.
341
00:19:27,310 --> 00:19:29,344
The crew situates
The propellers
342
00:19:29,344 --> 00:19:32,000
In the molded niches
In the bottom of the hull.
343
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,482
And the technician
Connects them
344
00:19:33,482 --> 00:19:36,862
To swiveling mechanisms
Called pods.
345
00:19:36,862 --> 00:19:38,655
He hooks up a pump
That will replace
346
00:19:38,655 --> 00:19:40,689
The lubricating oil
When needed,
347
00:19:40,689 --> 00:19:41,931
So there'll be no need
348
00:19:41,931 --> 00:19:44,379
To pull it into port
For oil changes.
349
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,137
The technician
Installs intake systems
350
00:19:49,137 --> 00:19:51,758
That will suction lake
Or ocean water into the hull
351
00:19:51,758 --> 00:19:54,655
To cool the diesel engines.
352
00:19:54,655 --> 00:19:57,586
The other mechanics include
The air-conditioning system,
353
00:19:57,586 --> 00:20:01,689
Water heater and a generator.
354
00:20:01,689 --> 00:20:03,862
And now, the big moment.
355
00:20:03,862 --> 00:20:06,620
Using a crane, the crew lowers
The yacht's deck
356
00:20:06,620 --> 00:20:10,000
And pilothouse onto the hull.
357
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,448
This deck assembly
Weighs 3 tons.
358
00:20:14,448 --> 00:20:16,206
Looks like
It's a good fit.
359
00:20:18,448 --> 00:20:21,310
Using crowbars,
The team pulls the rim,
360
00:20:21,310 --> 00:20:25,551
Also known as the flange
Of the deck, over the hull.
361
00:20:25,551 --> 00:20:28,655
They drill threaded holes
Through the fiberglass flange
362
00:20:28,655 --> 00:20:30,551
And the hull and screw bolts
363
00:20:30,551 --> 00:20:33,310
Into those holes
To connect the two.
364
00:20:33,310 --> 00:20:35,379
Special
Adhesive has been applied
365
00:20:35,379 --> 00:20:37,310
To these bolts
To keep water
366
00:20:37,310 --> 00:20:40,103
From penetrating the vessel.
367
00:20:40,103 --> 00:20:42,000
Here's the view inside.
368
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,068
The cherry paneling
In the pilothouse
369
00:20:44,068 --> 00:20:48,000
Seamlessly matches the paneling
In the living quarters.
370
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,413
The builders complete
The furnishings,
371
00:20:50,413 --> 00:20:53,344
Giving the cabin the look
And feel of luxury.
372
00:20:55,379 --> 00:20:57,965
They install
A high-end galley kitchen.
373
00:20:57,965 --> 00:21:00,344
And this yacht is complete.
374
00:21:00,344 --> 00:21:05,172
After 6 months of work,
Let the good times begin.
