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]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[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
