Making Connections! - Onboard Lifestyle ep.150

[@iancouper5077]

I could watch you and your team work all day. While other sailing channels are basically hybernating or getting buy through the pandemic, you keep putting out these great videos and dong the work you need to do before setting out.

[@americanswan]

Go back and watch their story. So inspirational.

[@doneB830]

Poor Teal doing his best and Linh actually loves it. Bless you both

[@pattieh5118]

Thank you for video. You guys look so happy. I’m glad it’s moving along. Can’t wait until your back in the water!

[@linhgobenyt]

Us too! 🤞🤞

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

This hardtop just compliments the SV BASIK. Emma, thank you for the tessellation definition. I learned something new.

[@tealgoben1781]

I agree...her definition fit perfectly. (pun intended)

[@kevinhornbuckle]

So it seams.

[@larryguy7160]

What I love most about any project I start, is the planning and designing.....once I complete this stage, I normally lose interest and begin planning out a new project.....Dreaming is the fun part of ' Sweat Equity and DIY '...

[@garysummers2250]

Biscuit joining this top the way you are is ingenius. Never in a million years would I would have thought of that. Fantastic

[@OnboardLifestyle]

It was from all the staring when this idea came to me. Time to remind Linh of my genius.....Lol

[@flybywire5866]

Thickened epoxy!! Yay🤗

[@banjonichols3063]

Enjoyed your episode.

[@sergiyivanov984]

Thank you very much for all your interesting videos!

[@26MAKus]

thickin apoxey !!!!!!!!! Two times - drink drink drink drink drink drink

[@jyfy7926]

I am continually impressed by Teal’s talent, skills and abilities. But I am also continually amazed at Linh’s culinary skills. I do envy Teal and Emma to have such delicious meals.

[@tealgoben1781]

I am living in a 5 star Michelin dream! 😋

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Wow, thank you Jerry!

[@ronsutterfield8430]

Teal, you are doing a great job on that hard top

[@tealgoben1781]

Thanks Ron!

[@HopeOfJoe]

OMG !! Almost time to get on down the coast to a warmer climate. Great job, S/v basic team !!! 😉

[@philipmansfield1248]

What can I say that hasn't already been said about this job? An elegant solution to a complicated problem that provides strength within the existing material. Excellent workmanship and when finished will look like it grew there. Loved the black biscuits for strengthening the post fixings. Again really nicely finished. I love watching your videos, they are so informative and you have a great family team. Looking forward to the finishing touches net week. :)

[@tealgoben1781]

Thanks Philip!

[@leosorbello7732]

Great job 👍

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@dougwebb2996]

the standard of work we have become accustomed to. Nicely done all of you

[@tealgoben1781]

Thanks Doug!

[@edrosenberger6947]

Hooked on good engineering and Teel didn't disappoint once again! Love the structural bow ties that were once used in roman masonry to tie walls and columns together.....and now used to tie roofing together. Good show Teel and his helpers!!!

[@Alan62651]

I think similar structural supports appear in the Peruvian monolithic walls too. That's a technology that goes WAY BACK.

[@kevincarey1076]

You CANNOT rush perfection Linh LOL "Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance" AWESOME job by the way guys! Fair winds and following seas Basik.

[@linhgobenyt]

Lol, I should better than to rush an artist! 😜

[@dougford5691]

You and Linh work great together. Top is looking beautiful.

[@ruperthartop7202]

Great content as always. Thanks for sharing

[@donpetrey8007]

Also a micro fiber cloth after some super 1500 grit paper and then mother’s mag polish those poles will look awesome

[@servicarrider]

I am thinking that your custom homes are something to behold. It just came to me that they're countless guys out here in the interwebs that thought that they were pretty handy until they came across Teals channel.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

To be able to be counted amongst the good guys is an honor already. Thanks for the compliment. Much appreciated.

[@andrewnims8175]

Great job "slamming" that hard top in.

[@bruuuuuuuuuh]

I restored an old boat a few years back and have been addicted to your videos for a few years now, I'm blown away by the attention to detail and quality of work with every project on your boat, great job! Really getting me fired up to get a bigger old boat and do it over again!

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

It's funny. It's driving me crazy. It's all maintenance and upgrades which are fine. This is all Teal does. He doesn't have a full-time job. He is getting some YT and patreon revenue and probably some investment income. My mental clock can't compete with that. It's all me but I want to see Basik sail and watch cruising adventures. It's coming and covid slowed everything. Staying tuned back to 16...

[@svlamancha9877]

Great looking work. Can’t wait to see the three of you dancing on the hard top😁 the way Teal has designed it you will be safe and sound. 👍

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Can't wait!

[@brianjoyce9040]

Oh so close my bud’s on the hard. In the water soon and warm water, blue skies & fair winds. Be safe be well

[@treskir]

New drinking game..... every time Teal can't remember core matt:) Great work and episode.

[@tealgoben1781]

In my defense...I have been using a product called "BaltekMat" for years (same product) and now it has been renamed "CoreMat". #itsconfusing

[@bartonrobinson4266]

All around good continued progress on the hardtop, you got to see it with a clear mind unencumbered with complications or distractions, ok, that was a bit rich, fun for me though. It's coming together nicely and looks pretty darn spiffy too; Thumbs straight up !!

[@tealgoben1781]

Thanks Barton!

[@whitneylake2107]

Another wonderful episode. Thank you !

[@nena4215]

Wow, those bow ties are off the hook good, strong and so solid, as always, perfect job you guys! Thanks for the episode

Glad you like them!

Quality work. Well done Linh ;-)

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@johnmanning4577]

A friend's horror story about that hole saw is when he was building a two story house and had to drill a large hole to accept the electrical service drop pipe at the edge of the roof near its peak. The person that provided the tool warned him that it had a lot of power and he'd better hold on very tightly or the drill could get away from him. So he got everything all lined up, got braced, got the best grip possible, and squeezed the trigger. The hole saw jammed in the wood and the next thing he knew he was flying in space about 20 feet off the ground before he got swung all the way round the drill and deposited back on the roof! Lee is about 6'4", stocky and muscular. He hasn't held on as tightly from then on. If the drill wants to go somewhere, it can go without him....

[@tealgoben1781]

Frightening...Just holding that tool I knew there must be stories like this.

[@wayneb7100]

Great work Teal, Linh, and Emma. I always look forward to watching your videos. All your projects are so we'll thought out.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thank you Wayne! 😊

[@bobstienke178]

So proud......as you should be.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Bob!

[@sjd9214]

🙂🙂, staring at the project and building it together in your mind. Its creating a chronological order that eliminates nasty surprises along the way. I bet Teal has built this hard top in his mind a dozen times or so already?

[@minibusadventures5483]

Great job guys, been following for a while under a different name, but now concentrating on my own travel vlog too...lol Building a minibus using lots of thickened epoxy....lol... well some of it, old boat owner from way back, so enjoying your travels and antics....

[@danmallery9142]

Biscuits! What a great idea. Teal, your cabinet making background is coming through. Also, I think Linh is behind about 5 shots for "thickened epoxy" :-)

[@OnboardLifestyle]

You're right!

[@8056443232]

Great work as always! Enjoyable vid, also as always. Now - you were rightfully proud that the backing blocks, inserted long ago, all lined up. Nice. But as I recall, YOU (Teal) were flat on your back, and it was Linh who set those in place. Am I wrong? You can still be proud, as a team, it was a fantastic job. You know, as a team. Team.

[@tealgoben1781]

She sure did!

[@roscoejones4515]

Wow, looking so good! Great idea with the butterflies, you might have made a router jig to cut out the depressions, but probably less of a mess using the bone saw. You are right to be intiminated by that Hole Hawg, they are so powerful and have every potential to break your wrist, at least when drilling through a 2x12! Good job everyone. Hi Compass!

[@tomscott4723]

Biscuits and Gravy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@johnkeegan6646]

I wondered how you would do this connection. I think that was the best structural solution because the hardtop is a sail and must handle the full range of forces trying to torque it. I wonder still how you might handle the weather dodger protecting the helm? Great engineering Teal with just enough “thickened epoxy”.

[@tealgoben1781]

We will talk about that issue next week.

[@fonhollohan2908]

The Hardtop looks fantastic a very professional look, great Job Teal, great job!

[@bobuncle8704]

I really like your team work. Everyone has had a part in making this hard top. Your attention to detail is outstanding. I don’t believe I’ve seen a better hardtop anywhere. It’s just mind blowing the 🤯 the level of effort that you are going to for this hardtop. To say you are doing an incredible job seems so inadequate to the level of quality being put into this. I don’t know if I’ve asked this before, but what is your background experience that brings you to this level of skill in building this hardtop. Just seeing this installed looks amazing, but it does not do justice to all the hard work, ingenuity, and skill in building and installing this magnificent work of art. You all should be very proud of what you’ve been able to achieve in the middle of a what is essentially just a parking lot. Well done team. 🏆🥇💯 By the way Linh. I’m just a bit disappointed. You missed a couple of thickened epoxy opportunities. 🥃 I had to have a double to make up for it. 😉😂

We are planning on building the enclosure design as we go since we have to make sure our winches, lines, clutches are set first. They play a bigger role in our travels. Once we have that down, the sewing can commence. Time to start sailing!

[@richardware7293]

Hello, WOW this is an amazing amount of labor of love for the hardtop. Just wondering how many other cat owners have done the same thing to their cats? Is this an original design and if so, will you be submitting this to a magazine? Looking forward to seeing it all done as I am sure you all are as well. Thanks

[@MrJgem12345]

Just fyi, that shape is referred to as a dovetail as opposed to a biscuit. Biscuits are put in place where it’s cut out sideways, dovetails are from above like you did. Looks great though!

[@marceld6061]

Actually, it is a 'butterfly joint' since it is separate piece from either side it is joining. A dovetail is part of one of the pieces being joined. Think George Nakashima the great table maker. He used them to join 'live-edge' wood slabs to create beautiful works of art. As did Teal here.

[@Alan62651]

picky, picky, picky.... HA HA.

[@johnVidBozo]

Even pick-e-er they could also be called a dutchman! :)

[@marceld6061]

@@johnVidBozo a 'dutchman' is a PATCH which hides a defect. So called as a "derogatory" name because it is a 'cheap' repair. It is used to usually to hide a knot hole or some other repair when you are going to paint a product. I have used them when repairing antique doors. It is set into a face of a surface. A butterfly on the other hand is structural and joins two pieces together. Joinery is funny that way. There is a name for everything. It depends on the shape and where and how it relates to the surfaces. A hinge 'mortice' like on the edge of a door, for example, is actually called a 'gain'. (3 sides and a bottom)
