In this episode of Onboard Lifestyle we try out a new camera (fail) and Teal & Emma build Linh's birthday gift. The hardest part was keeping it a secret, was...

well here's my next little project this
Lim's birthday in two weeks and
she wants me to build something I've
been kind of fighting it but it's a good
idea I designed this table kind of with
the idea of having seating here and have
it open here more of a couch with a
little little coffee table here I put
storage in here actually the table
itself has nice storage as well put
tilts up here stories in the front
everything's great with the exception of
one thing this is good for seating for
three one two three and when we have two
or three couples over it be nice to see
them around the rest of this area here
so I'm coming up with a way to add a
leaf to the rest of this table so here's
what I have so far I just built a little
template this is the size of the leaf
and building the leaf is the easy part
I'll be able to make it just like I make
this tabletop build it to the same
thickness same color same finish it's
the hardware to hold this on to hold the
weight of people leaning on it putting
plates on it that's where the
engineering comes in that's the fun part
so let's see how this goes
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause]
okay so here is the first nomination
those two and a half inch ribs are
laminate around the perimeter I have to
do a total of five lamination so here's
the first two and what I do is I take my
template here here's my template I put
on a lamination so it's cured
I can router it off onto my template and
that will create the exact same
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
okay I'm on to the fourth layer now I've
kind of Lincoln logged the corners here
this is the last lamination for today
this is layer for the next one to be a
full scan going over the whole project
I'm using synonyms of weight greens the
saucy white behind your homework okay
day two I have successfully hid my
project from land and it's going to get
tougher and tougher to hide this because
the further along I get the more obvious
it is that I'm building this I'll have
epoxy go on and paint and the fumes will
be in here so I'll have to pick another
small project to explain what's going on
so today I'm going to put my last
lamination on put the foam core in my
lead and get it saturated with epoxy to
do that I've laid it all out here in the
salon I hate working in the salon but it
is cold windy and rainy today outside so
I'll do what I can to protect everything
and make sure I don't leave them
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
okay so Emma's off to school
Lynne is off to work
I need to head on down to pick up some
fiberglass cloth I am out and I need to
get glass cloth on that lease extension
today so I'll put one coat on today I'll
let it kick tonight and put the other
side on tomorrow's oh so now I'm walking
to cap plastics to get my fiberglass
cloth it's actually a pretty good price
in town and they have everything I need
and it's walking distance from the boat
it's about a mile from the boat actually
but it's a lot faster to walk the mile
to tap Plastics walk the mile back that
it's a fight traffic and bike parking
actually here's a good idea here's Lake
Union we are right about here and top
Plastics is right here so not to that
oh yeah
okay next couple of days I'm going to
get the glass cloth down prep it sand it
prime it and paint it all in the next
I'd say three to four days it's going to
take that long because I'll have epoxy
to cure overnight twice paint to cure
overnight twice I'm running out of time
so let's better get on it
[Music]
now my dad's going to put on the last
coat of dinner looks right side all year
polyurethane you want to help gonna help
me okay how do you think what do you
think of the project so far do you think
mommy's going to be a surprise
what
Oh a better fit that'd be your fault not
mine
so roll the whole thing out let's just
slightly tack up then you back roll it
instead of tipping it
that's pretty well this will lay down
nicely
yeah just put the last coat of
Brightside on there
laid down pretty good
now the key is hide this from Lynne
until it cures got to find a spot the
vault where she doesn't go luckily it's
a nice beautiful sunny day so I'm going
to stash it out on top of hardtop okay
what do you think the projects party
thinks you like it a compass
here's that turned out
looks just like the rest of table now on
to the fun part the hardware so what I'm
doing is I'm going to put a pin system
three pins will lock the leaf in to the
table itself and then I'll clamp it I'll
be two clamps under here and under here
it'll clamp it together and that will
hold the table from coming in and out
like this and up and down like this but
I'll still out here where it's floating
I'll have to do a stainless support
which will come down and tie into here
but we'll still have plenty of room for
legroom so let's get started
[Music]
[Music]
okay I put quarter-inch lags in here
now what I need to do is cut the heads
off and taper the end slightly
so these three pins
we'll slide right into these three spots
in theory it'll work let's see how it
works
[Applause]
[Applause]
[Laughter]
ah okay so everything's done leaf is
done
it's Lynn's birthday today couple of
commit and you know the Leafs a great
thing but it's only good if you have a
place to stow it so what I came up with
is under the nav station here
I built this out of strawberry lumps
little bracket it holds a little bit of
hardware put a little pads on the walls
here and it's tows the leaf I'll show
you how it works
so this is the finish leaf right here
just slides right in I use the same
hardware to hold it to the table to hold
it to the bracket and there you go we've
been keeping this a secret from my mom
she's on our way now and we're gonna
wrap it up and surprise her okay Emma
stand in front of the table to hide the
book so you can see it no stand straight
up Oh what do you think you knew I had
no idea what do you think it'll work
yeah this is what I've been asking for
for like years
okay so thumbs up so excited this now
gets the seat people now we could have
more than three people at your dinner
table I know
remember before how old how many people
can sit at the table comfortably just
three maybe I'm going to me maybe we are
tired of big not oh my gosh so where are
we gonna store this afterwards I dug the
spot right over there look this is
perfect christmas is almost here too so
we can have a party here
what is Emma doing Emma nobody has
booties that she's both 15 these can sit
at this table or six normal people do we
get
