Locker Reveal, Steering & 60 mph Wind!! Onboard Lifestyle ep.46

[@hamachi21]

Good sailors are equal parts engineer and artist. You're clearly a great sailor!

[@X99Zero]

It must feel amazing knowing that you can service every single part on the boat

[@OnboardLifestyle]

It does feel good to really know your boat. 👍👍

[@Bill23799]

I KNEW IT!!!!!!! Teal is a Terminator!!!!!!!!!

[@ja1a100]

You keep moving the goal post on us. Perfect husband, father, master seamen, boat builder, carpenter, and now a sculptor. I give up I'm going back to the couch.

[@Peo_Sahlin]

I love your art!

[@chasemixon6327]

So I just found your channel a couple of weeks ago, over all very impressive work! something that might help with that thickened epoxy, put it in a Ziploc bag and cut a small hole in the corner of it to squeeze it into the joints... like a baker with a cake.

[@X99Zero]

The joy in Teals eyes when says “epoxy” 😂

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Emma and I are convinced Teal has a love affair with his epoxy. 😜💕

[@buffalobob2002]

The storage shed explains everything.

[@marcc5028]

The “sculptures” or art work in the storage unit were super nice .... you were right: not expecting that at all. Awesome !!!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Glad you liked it!

[@fillg]

You're right, I never suspected you were hiding a Terminator in your storage locker.

[@linhgobenyt]

Lol, I thought the same thing when Teal first showed me his work! He is amazingly talented! 💖💖

[@mysurlytrucker7510]

It will all be worth it , do it right do it once , the more ways you can make sure your boat will stay afloat when its flooding the better great job as always.

[@linhgobenyt]

That's our motto! Do it right the first time around!

[@FeelItRising]

Now we know why you are an artist when it comes to boat repair too. Legend

[@linhgobenyt]

He amazes us everyday. 🤫🤫🤫

[@ezazy]

This has become one of my most looked forward to channels. While I like more traditional boats/projects, his projects are so well thought out and the results look great for that style of boat. When they go cruising Teal will KNOW every system on that boat.

[@tjreyer7281]

Awesome sculptures! So glad you were able to find all your parts! These refit videos are amazing and your attention to detail is phenomenal! I just wanted to let you know! I also wanted to give you a word of warning-you might want to blur details like your car tag for safety and security reasons. I wouldn’t want you to have an uncomfortable situation develop as some youtubers have! Hope y’all are healthy and well!

[@unkelj]

I find it easier to watch you work than start my own projects 😁 - great video👏👏👏👍

[@dabda8510]

1:45 I knew IT. You are the lost lost twin brother of Adam Savage, of Mythbusters. I've been following him and he also used to do sculpture. Seriously, your mannerism, your look, and handy man skill is so much like Adam Savage.

[@logansharplin9245]

Hat off to you Teal (& ur partner/s - Em) ... gud workmanship, fusy, focused & disciplined. She (boat) is your 'earthship'. .. This sub is kiwi chopper pilot (old).

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

We know you love it Teal . And we totally get it, great job and stunning scenery as you crossed the Cascades. Cheers Buddy

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Ross!

[@fatherthomas1575]

I worked in a glass shop for years, all those city busses fronts backs, louvers, and we used regular talc powder for thickening paste and in fine corners in the molds. We never had a failure.

[@micahwatson9017]

Teal, when you install your radius fillets, put the thickened epoxy into a piping bag and cut an appropriate size hole in the end for your radius. Squeeze it out as you would laying caulk and then use your 1" radius tool to wipe it. It's so quick, easy and much cleaner. You can just use a gallon size ziplock bag too.

[@fxpthl]

Being a newcomer, I'm guessing this beautiful cat has taken on its' own life for you and the family! The sugar scoops must have needed remodeling for some reason but they sure look great. I heard you mention an outboard well? or was it an outdrive well? Can I assume that you've gone to a different power system? What ever things used to be apparently gone and you're building something that will better serve your needs in the future. After seeing your "artwork" I understand you much better. A man of minute detail would be a perfect description for you sir and I am really impressed! Looking forward to seeing more, please!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Edward, actually the boat was originally designed to have a single 40 outboard in the cockpit on a retractable sled. The sled was removed and wells with 9.9 long shaft outboards were added in the sugar scoops. The previous owner shaved the wells and put Yanmar 3YM30 diesel engines with Yanmar SD20 sail drives in.

[@somekevinguy]

Damn you weren’t kidding when you said nobody would ever guess. I literally wouldn’t have guessed that in a million years.

[@linhgobenyt]

Right?!

[@misterprofessor3511]

That aluminum tube looks ok! Why replace it... the surface oxidation will protect it fine. Something can look a bit ugly and still be perfectly functional and fine. (old people, for example...lol)

[@hebelson444]

I'll say what I previously said in another of your videos, you are a JEDI MASTER.

[@br5498]

After reading a few comments all I have to add is ... You have the cutest bilge rats ever !

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Totally agree Tony!

[@CajunMikeT]

After seeing the storage locker and the art work, your attention to detail make perfect sense. You traded one form of art for another!

[@linhgobenyt]

Teal puts everything he has into whatever he does and it shows in his work. Emma and I are very proud of him. 😍😍

[@jayfitmob8645]

Very nice sculptures, but "Cyber City" triggered my electronic recycling brain. 😂🤷‍♂️ Lots of good boards there 💯

[@davidgovan9533]

You do awesome work. You make my work look terrible, however, you have inspired me to do better. I think the key is patience and taking the needed time required to do it right. Thanks for sharing your videos with us. Regards - Dave

[@williamdunbar8554]

The storage locker explains a lot. You're a techno-artist. No wonder your refit work is so beautiful. It's a tie, I can't tell which is better: your workmanship, or your obvious love of the work. Thanks for bringing us into spaces we'd never go on our own. I really enjoy the videos. Everyone of you is so comfortable in front of the camera. I imagine that took a bit of practice. Does your editing take long? Everything you do seems to be so deliberate I think your camera work is your editing?

[@williambays3534]

Wow! It looks like you guys are building a boat instead of buying one !! Loved that metal robot looking thing, it should be mounted to the front of the boat when you are finely finished. Much cooler than a Wooden Mermaid.

[@linhgobenyt]

It feels like we have built this boat! Lol thanks for following our refit. The end is near! I can almost feel it. 🤪🤪🤪

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

It's cool watching you work. Not to many young people take pride in their work like you do, and when it's all said and done the finished product show the love and pride you put into the job... There are a few others out here that also very good work. But then there are the ones that just want to get the work done and over with, and the finished product shows it. They can't stand back and be proud of the work they did. They're just happy to have it done no matter how it looks... Keep up the find job... Be blessed kiddo... BBE..

[@whyme8068]

You must mount the robot head on the bow and the full robot at the helm! 🤣

[@linhgobenyt]

Lol! 😂😂

[@brianjoyce9040]

Burning Man needs a new model. But will it burn. Teal’s work immortalized! Once again fantastic skill and ideas to reality!

[@andyl9740]

Another awesome video. Your craftsmanship and attention the small details are amazing.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Andy!

[@suzanne8227]

Great use of an Amazon gift card!!

[@brianswanland5466]

I flew to SEATAC from Japan this morning and we passed to the side of the Lake. I thought about you down in the sugar scoop down there somewhere doing your fiberglass work. Beautiful location but I thought it was really cold when we got off the airplane.

[@tomyoksas9299]

"Ugh... but I love it". The uttering of a true Craftsman! 😎 👍👍 Cheers

[@linhgobenyt]

He really does love it. I married a crazy genius. 💗💗🤪🤪

[@jwright650]

Doing a great job with the steering cubbies. Loved seeing the sculptures in the dry storage.

[@jameswieser483]

Refitting / refurbishing the steering is going to be the easy part of this job. It’s all the ground work you have to do before you get to it. I can’t wait to see how you re-engineer the steering once you start your install. Keep up the fantastic work.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

I totally agree with you James, like any project on any boat...it's all of the 'behind-the-scene" preparation that takes most of the time.

[@linhgobenyt]

So. Much. Work. Teal is in epoxy heaven. Lol

[@brianswanland5466]

Cool sculptures. Your boat reflects your artistic talent.

[@linhgobenyt]

Thanks Brian! We love and are proud of his work. 😍😍

[@RockitMan-ey8tx]

Teal, new project item: If you have any photos of the sculptures, make portraits of them and hang them in the boat. Talents like yours shouldn't be hidden under a bushel or in a locked storage garage. Love the videos. Makes me wish I had a boat since the irony is that I live a block away from a marina. Keep up the great work and like the others, I'll be here looking over your shoulder like a nosy neighbor.

[@linhgobenyt]

I agree with you. We actually do have his artwork up on our headboards in the master stateroom as well as the guest stateroom. Some of his work is better in person.

[@dtonvista]

Teal, another great video, as an EE I admire the Robot but the huge mother board … Your work is incredible, can't wait to see how the steering linkage fits in.

[@RichardGetzPhotography]

Coolest storage ever!!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Richard!

[@sheldonslater4382]

Your sculptures are great thanks for the view cheers

[@jimjenkins673]

Wow, wow, wow, wow......that was worth the cliff hanger. Awesome work. They’ll be sold in days if you let them go.

[@linhgobenyt]

Awesome right?! I can stare at them all day long. He's a pretty amazing guy. 😍💗💗💗

[@cliffjamerson3107]

Wish I had NBA money I would buy that statue when you first opened the storage door

[@OnboardLifestyle]

The NBA draft is 164 days away...get into shape and we will talk. :)

[@drwindsurf]

Thank you for another excellent video...I love that use a spent gift card to clean up excess epoxy - brilliant simple idea :)

[@linhgobenyt]

We try to reuse everything! Old giftcards are amazing to use for fairing. Don't throw them away and always ask friends and family to save them for you. They work. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@brianjoyce9040]

It appears your ‘expertise’ and innovation arises from ‘tinker tantrums’. An artistic mind geared toward connections in all ways. Cool stuff

[@DVolvoguy777-x7o]

After working the bare aluminum, treat with alodine 1500, prime and paint. Put dynatrol, AV8 or AV30 on the inside and the tubing will last forever.

[@deemackyngve]

Wow ! you have real talent, Teal Da Vinci. :) it is so great to see your videos, love them. :)

[@murraywagnon1841]

Ha! Fortunately all of my sculptures sold. A gallery owner once described sculpture to me as "something people bump into while admiring a painting, and knock it into another painting." :-)

[@linhgobenyt]

Love his sculptures and artwork. I am always amazed of his neverending talents.

[@DollarTreeFlyer]

I love your attention to details.. great work and the sculptures are cool as hell

[@linhgobenyt]

Hey John, we love his sculptures and would love to somehow showcase his work again.

[@trumpetmano]

So now we know where you got your fabricating chops...LOL Cool beans.

[@rodneyblackwell7477]

Those diesel heaters will be getting a good testing

[@HansQuistorff]

Those 60 mph gusts came while everything was prepared to put our power underground. So we had our last tree outage on our spur line. So it is underground now I can start bringing those trees down for firewood.

[@mmanut]

Amazing how much storage in those sugar scoops. You did a fantastic job planning and building them, congrats‼️👍👍 Probably a good idea to slap a couple of coats of that high gloss white on everything, love that look👍👍 Stay Safe⛵️ Vinny 🇺🇸

[@linhgobenyt]

Its coming Vinnny! Thanks for watching!

[@scoleman7862]

Thoroughly enjoying all of your videos and yes, now we all know why you have done such a great job! Pure ART! Can't wait to see your family enjoying this boat on the seas. PS. I would like first dibs if you ever decide to sell when/if you ever decide to go back to land...

[@linhgobenyt]

Lol, no way! We love basik too much and can't wait to take her out for an extended spin out on the beautiful blue. Thanks for following!

[@bartonrobinson4266]

Artist or Craftsman ? All I can say is whatever Teal wants to use as his claim to fame is the correct answer..Love the Survival Suit, that's a love of the minds eye uncomplicated. Look forward to seeing the continued refit. Thanks for sharing your Older Hobby/Craftsmanship !!

[@HopeOfJoe]

Aaaaaaamazing !! And DITTO James Wieser. Looking forward to the linkage setup. 😊👍🤘✨⛵️⚓️✨

[@gregoryh4601]

Wow That is awesome work of ART and hope I don't see this on Storage War Show. I think you need to call a Computer Co. to sale that Art work of Computer parts. I hope you and Family well when you set Sail. God Bless You and Family also the little Dog and Sailboat.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Gregory!

[@markmateljan260]

Wow !! What an emagination Teal, always did love your work (boat), but this cements your ability. ...... must say, " Awesome "

He amazes us on a daily basis with his creativity, energy and talent.

[@chuckg7311]

From the ugly duckling to swan...... There are several vids out there on cleaning protecting aluminum from oxidation. Wonder what they use on bare aluminum airplane skins? Can’t wait to see the beautiful glass work before the mechanical parts go in. Good work and all three of you are fun to watch.

Strange but interesting question for Teal. We have a male Yorkie. In a past video you showed where Compass does his business. It is a flat dog pad next to a wall. How did you get your male to NOT lift his leg when doing business #1 ? Thank you in advance for your response.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

We trained Compass when he was just two months old and he took to the pad in just a day or two. For some reason he just uses it and even if we go for a walk he squats...not very masculine, but we are not complaining!

[@magicman8817]

[@clayfarnet970]

Hey guys, another wonderful video. You guys are amazing...in so many ways. But Teal, if your eyeballs don't itch after...I'd believe you're made of fiberglass.:)

[@greg5176]

Finally, I'm caught up. I've been binge watching your videos. I really want to do this also, but I see I need a Linh and Emma to do it properly!!

[@greg5176]

@@OnboardLifestyle I believe that!! Hope to see you out on the water someday!

[@stevemazz3121]

Best part of all the work you have done is should a problem arise you should have a good idea where to look and how to repair it. Question: Have you checked the shrouds or stays, which ever term you prefer, for rust and/or wear? OR is the rigging something you will take on after the interior and controls are completed?

[@iwannagohompls]

You are amazing, you are a star, a legend, you have talent!!! Keep it up!!!

[@brucemacsr.6776]

Oh, drat. I've finally caught up to Ep.46. Now what do I do? Ok. I'm waiting......

[@jimgilmore7336]

Mads from Sail Life using a zip lock bag like a pastry bag to squeeze out epoxy then shapes it. Makes it much easier to get into tight locations You should check out his channel. You will really like it. He is is working on a warrior 38 sail boat and has spend 2 years retro fitting it.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

I have been following Mads for years and love his channel, he even mentioned our channel in his last video....needless to say, I was thrilled! I do use the squeeze bag method from time to time but end up wasting so much epoxy that I don't do it often.

[@MajTom-wd2yt]

I love how you think beyond the project what if what if yeah you got to man your family is there it's your home awesome boat awesome family be safe out there

[@martyhandley4456]

Try bagging that thickened epoxy and pipe it in the corners and smooth it after it’s laid up

[@denniscollins2032]

Any thoughts on emergency rudders? Rudders going out in blue water is a boat killer. Many cobbled together emergency rudders and drought lines have failed on luckless crews where the helicopter comes and takes them away leaving their spinning boat behind. Gawd I sound dismal but it is a valid point.

[@GI-AUS]

Have you thought about replacing the long connecting tube with a carbon tube: lighter, stiffer, stronger.

Please let us know how the new Heaters are working??

[@jimheitman4033]

I’ve been watching your high quality projects. I started with ep 41 thru 46. I’m uncertain what’s going on, with the evolution of your ownership. So I started watching from the start, ep 1, thru ep 16. I know the boat is 25 years old and you have owned for maybe 7 years. All these videos cover about the last year. The main cabin seems to have been reworked before the videos start. Did you work on the boat over the last 7 years? Your wife apparently still works somewhere, are you retired? Your boat seems very large, what are the exterior dimensions? I guess I’m wondering the overall context of your project, goals, history of the boat, etc. Thanks

[@OnboardLifestyle]

We made two backstory videos that will answer all your questions...check out episodes 37 & 38. Thanks for watching!

[@jimheitman4033]

I’ve watched and my questions are answered, thanks.

[@thepatriotsitler8226]

So one question the wife and I were mulling over is.... What's up with the airplanes? Is there an airport near by or is a seaplane / seaplane business on the lake? Just curious since we always hear the planes in the background. PS we both love your attention to detail and your amazing renovations. You have made your boat into a beautiful home. Thanks we really enjoy your vlogs.

[@linhgobenyt]

We have two seaplane airports right here on the lake. They fly in from various Puget Sound Islands as well as Canada. Its pretty neat.

[@jimmac521]

[@kampertone1]

What if you paint with Lackpoxi 76 Wet, WEG Ecoloflex SPC 200 and Wet Surface 89 PW. WEG technology in resistance to salinity and humidity.

[@rnbspowa7of69]

Where is that at Cle Elum or Ellensburg? Where is your Cabela’s card?

[@robbanks7191]

Teal, I have few a questions. First is lake union fresh or sea water? And second how does that affect a sail boat? It’s buoyancy and how it rides through the water? Any changes that need to be made. I only ask because I was wondering if this was covered when you got your captains license

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Lake Union is fresh water and that subject was covered when we studied "Load Lines" and "Plimsoll Marks" in my course. Buoyancy changes with water density. A vessel floating in water that is more dense will float higher and its draft will be less, a vessel floating in less dense water will draw more and its draft will be greater hence it will have less degree of reserve buoyancy. Since salt water is more dense than fresh water our boat will float higher and our draft will be less once we leave Lake Union.

[@allanhill8003]

Teal! You are certainly the most multitalented yachtie I have encountered! Liked your sculptures a lot. Are you sticking with the kick up rudders? I have read they tend to be noisy, and a bit fragile.your cat looks as though she can be speedy,lots of stress on the rudders.🤔

[@OnboardLifestyle]

I agree with you Allen and may eliminate the "kick-up" aspect of the system. I am looking at options and doing a bit of research before making that decision.
