Fitting the holly to the teak! Had to take a break from this project for more urgent business but we're back into it and should be finished in the next few m...

1/4 inch for 16 so you want 560 hi I

would you 5/16 be sure to take material

off and try to fill it in later okay

last time on Kevin stole from scratch

you saw me cutting out these Holley

slats and in between I was gluing them

in and just trying to test test them out

to see how they would actually look

these ones are already glued in and I

started shaping them down to their final

thickness this one I think is probably

the best one but you see I chewed up a

little bit of a teak around it so I'm

gonna have to clean that up this one you

can see a little bit of a gap on it it's

not too bad the one thought I had over

here were a lot worse so I actually went

ahead and ripped them back out

using a sharpened chisel and I've got

new flats on Holly that I had cut on a

table saw one of my lovely neighbors was

a kind enough to offer his table saw and

so these are 5/16 inch wide and I have a

new power planer that I can use to bring

them down to a nice even quarter inch

thick Ben the plan is to cut the long

way there by hand because I've found

while cutting these ones out that the

Dremel setup I had before was not

powerful enough it destroyed itself

after that last episode where I used it

and rendered itself useless so doing

these by hand isn't too tough and that

is how I will be proceeding you'll also

notice I'm missing a chunk of teak right

here that one I was power planing this

strip of Holly

and got a little bit too aggressive and

it ate into that teak so I'm planning on

cutting this whole strip out and gluing

in a near one it hopefully won't look

too mismatched but we'll see what it

comes out to look like

[Music]

so I have some new fresh we cut out

these will go in their corresponding

slots next to get them into the final

shape to these I'm going to be using a

very sharp chisel to trim down both the

edges in here that are dirty and the

edges of the Hawley strip and once it's

thin like this one I'll go ahead and run

glue in the in the groove and press fit

it in I found that they're tight enough

to where you don't need to really clamp

them down or put pressure on them they

really just kind of stay where they are

once you've hammered them in place so

we'll fit this one next and kind of go

down sequentially at some point I'll

have to you know fill that in

[Music]

I have one two three and about an eighth

of a strip cut out and fitted they are

now ready for glue I will let them dry

for a few days before I come back and

try shave them down to make them match

that I also kept ripping this out so I

think what I'm going to do for this

section is actually do that whole

segment that way it matches a little bit

better than just cutting it off right

there

and then we'll have these two left to go

but I won't be doing that right now

because I've got a margarita there's a

party going on up at the club and I

really wanted to enjoy that beautiful

sunset okay I have all the Holly

embedded into the wood so now I'm going

to use my power planer to get some of

these closer to the level of the teak

once they're close I'll come back with a

chisel and some very gritty sandpaper to

get them flush like they are on this

side

after that I'll fill in some of the

cracks with a dark wood filler that will

eventually kind of match the teak and

once this is all done I'll clean up the

wood a lot more and trace out the

pattern that I need for the flooring

that way I can cut it before I do any of

the coloring I don't want to color it

until it's been cut into the final shape

because I'll have to seal it with epoxy

at some point as well and that could

damage the coloring if I don't do that

carefully but let's go ahead and get

planning

[Music]

[Music]

well that's what I get for going too

fast and really paying attention I just

took a bite out of these two I might I

might be okay with that because

inevitably this corner might get cut off

so I'm going to just keep going and hope

for the best for the rest of us and if I

need to I will have to come back and

replace these damaged teeth bits but

yeah we'll keep on going

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

okay now kind of as close as I'm willing

to get to it without damaging it at

least without damaging it more than I

already have so I'm going to go ahead

and switch back to the chisel

[Music]

so I have it sanded smooth and ready for

the next step which will be to cut and

color I've gone ahead and made a

template for the corner pieces so I'm

going to use that to optimize the

spacing on this and also I'll have to

cut out a panel here for the access

hatch that goes in the middle of this so

yeah we'll have one more episode and

then I'll be installing it finally so I

look forward to that if you've been

watching since the beginning thanks for

sticking around and if you're new here

welcome and comment down below if you

have any questions
