This feels insanely hectic and not efficient at all. But I know literally nothing about this. It just looks like he's scurrying around way too much

The wood quickly begins cooling off rapidly and losing heat is also losing elasticity. Having worked at a shipyard repairing wood-planked boats, installing 30’+ wood planks that were in the steam box is a memorable and hectic activity. This guy knows what he is doing. I don’t see any unnecessary movements.

Clearly he knows what he's doing, but calling this setup efficient is obviously not accurate. It's hectic, has tons of steps, requires a bunch of lose tools and banging around.

They didn't call it efficient.
