Teak Deck Fabrication and Installation Part 2

Part 2 of a tutorial from Boatworks Today on how to fabricate and install a small teak deck as a highlight on your boat using materials from Teak Decking Systems.

[@WarzSchoolchild]

The "HIGH POINT" of thiese instructional videos is at the end. The little sweetheart "Voice-Over". With nigh on a quarter million views, she mush have broken a quarter million hearts! already!

[@atothezeezee]

Awesome job. Really liked the advice at 9:20 re. the diving grain. Good stuff.

[@chuckdilmore2040]

Exquisite quality, man - both the woodworking and the vid. Thank you!

[@compositestechbb9087]

Who the hell would dislike this video? Great work.

[@mynextketchfrontier6351]

Now that's some sick skills my man..Thank you ssssssso much..

[@Atr42Greasemonkey]

Your amazing. Learn so much from you. It’s appreciated

[@MannyCamRS]

Good Lawd......Amazing work.

[@AndrewKFletcher]

Use baby wet wipes to remove caulking from hands and tools.

[@boatworkstoday]

It's called Acoustic Sunrise. Part of the iMovie suite that comes with Mac's :-)

[@DELTA1DSV]

Excellent, tutorial, thanks

[@SaltyEscape]

I know this video is older, but I want to thank you! You're an artist! We have learned a lot here and now feel very capable to tackle our own teak renovations! Thanks

[@christophergoggin5524]

Nice work!

[@nedlindstrom2590]

All your videos are great. Tip when you are caulking a seam, instead of pulling the gun towards you try pushing away. I know this sounds counter intuitive. but i find I get a better fill and much less clean-up.

[@boatworkstoday]

Hi Larry, not sure if the supplier I used in the video (Teak Decking Systems) sells their panels retail or not. I'd try giving them a call. Otherwise I know that there are suppliers that will do this. If I remember correctly figure roughly $60/SF for the materials (ouch). It would be much less expensive to look at a teak and rubber plywood rather than using solid wood..

[@TheMoomba19]

It's always a pleasure watching a master craftsman at work. Your creativity, intuition and ability to transfer from thought to process is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@boatworkstoday]

@mongo6606 I touch on the panel construction a little bit in part 1 of the video; unfortunately TDS is not able to give me specifics on how they do it, or the resins that they use (trade secret stuff)... You can find out a little more from their website though... Thank You!

[@ronaldconn3117]

Love your work, wish I was better at it

[@dawsoncreekinthephilippines]

Wow that was very cool. I can see I'm going to have a lot more work from watching your show. Because I will be wanting to do this as well hahahaha. Stop giving me more work hahaha just kidding. Love it keep it up 🤣😅🤣

[@TheNothingMusic]

Great tutorial.

[@davidwest4382]

I cannot stop watching Andy's videos. He deserves every accolade in teaching marine repair.

[@MrMat1978]

nice work . just one question , why do you flatten off the sica with a spatula afterwards

[@boatworkstoday]

Thanks! Would really like to see your project as it progresses. If interested I'll post the pics and descriptions on my website under 'Viewer Projects'. Good luck with everything, I have no doubt that it will look great :-)

[@tbaconiii]

I appreciate the method of trimming the bungs. I have always sanded them and it takes forever. I was surprised to see that you can sand the caulk and then get the finish to adhere. Is that a non silicone based caulk?

[@AnthonyPaun]

beautiful work!!!

[@thomasscharfenberger7806]

Very fine job. Thx for yout tips.

[@wickedale6060]

Great channel! I have a sailboat that has teak seats(it's the solid plywood teak that is glued in place) in the cockpit. It was not installed properly and is lifting in the corners. Do you have any recommendations for pulling the teak off and re-bedding it properly? What material would you use? Many thanks and keep on posting!!!!

[@boatworkstoday]

Thanks! I really appreciate it :-)

[@RorySeanWainer]

Wow ... wish your shop was in Melbourne Australia.

[@MrHarley950]

That's an amazing job. Great explanation. That's for taking the time to share.

[@edwde6673]

Hi ...Can you stick the teak deck to the boats's surface gel coat with thickened epoxy or must you sand down to laminate? Cheers..

[@andrewwilliams9419]

You sir are a craftsman

[@boatworkstoday]

Thank you Andrew! Like you're name too ;-)

[@alslominski9993]

Go wings!! Haha boat works is my go to source for fixing my egg harbor.

[@justinwright904]

Beautiful

[@boatworkstoday]

Thank you :-)

[@1yachtcarpenter]

Great video

[@9sec93lx]

Nice job. I used to work for a company that made deck panels for yachts around the world. We had the deck patterns sent to us in wooden crates, we made the deck panels, then crated them up and shipped them back to the boat builders. Quite interesting work really.

[@boatworkstoday]

+Best Racing Tips Win At The Dragstrip Tha'ts the way Teak Decking Systems operates as well. I have a good relationship with them and they were willing to send me some of their off cuts that were large enough for the project. Don't think that's something they normally do though....

[@tomharrell1954]

I admire your Really beautiful craftsmanship. Job well done. Which do you feel is better to oil teak or let it turn gray? Why?

[@RonaldLayman]

Very good, what was the epoxy you used to set the field material? Thanks

[@gsh319]

That looks GREAT man. Real nice work. Thanks for laying out the techniques here. Great work.

[@boatworkstoday]

Thanks much!! Really appreciate the feedback :-)

[@boatworkstoday]

Hey, Thanks! I appreciate the compliments :-)

[@boatworkstoday]

Thank you very much :-)

[@denniscn34946]

I was wondering on new projects what can be used thats more economical than Teak?

[@boatworkstoday]

Dennis Nigrelli Mahogany or cherry would be my choices :-)

[@MW-dt2bj]

Hi, very interesting video, thank you very much! What kind of chisel do you use here? Is it a japanese brand, like Kote Nomi? Best, M.

[@barryg6995]

Does this add any rigidity to the floor? I have fiberglass deck with no core. Hoping to beef it up some to prevent sagging when stepped on? I saw you add a layer of fiberglass. Wondering if I should do that first or just go straight to this

[@boatworkstoday]

Thank you!!

[@budemjoon2416]

awesome man

[@MattyMattnj1]

where can i order?

[@anestislouadis8387]

Amazing job i installed today teak deck in the cockpit area of a small boat and i find this video very informative.Great work!

[@zacharylennard7593]

How much does a job like this usually pay if you dont mind me asking?

[@boatworkstoday]

:-) Thank you!

[@richardtharp1608]

Awesome Beautiful Work inspired by the Perfect use of your OCD Tendencies to achieve Perfection in your Procedure.. You Explain and Teach your Craft in an Exemplary Manner Andy.. Just AWESOME Pal .. Thanks

[@michaelturner7770]

Great video, that chisel is super sharp!!!! Enjoy watching your videos, you have an amazing calming way of working, your the Bob Ross of boat work!!!!

[@johnjohnstone8107]

Any idea if this decking or similar is still available? They don't seem to list it now.

[@qwerttrewq9192]

Nice work. Interesting and informative, but don't you need to wear a mask when working epoxy? Many years ago the supplier ran out of PUR casting, so we had to cover those circuit boards with epoxy. That gave me the most magnificent head ace I ever had.

[@georgeneuberger1589]

Great videos! Approximately how much weight is added per square foot when adding the teak decking system?

[@boatworkstoday]

Not sure, but relatively speaking it's insignificant compared to the overall weight of the boat :-)

[@justinjacques2936]

Looks super nice, looks like the edges were not rounded over though

[@patkeohane5005]

hi. I'm interested in removing the fiberglass cabin from my 18' boat. I want to replace it with a teak deck to give the boat and nice appearance. I'm going for the teak deck speedboat look with a painted hull. question.. do you think it's possible

[@bradflorida9961]

Real slick work! Nice fit and finish also. Really like your persona too. Class act from a COOL DUDE! THANKS FOR SHARING

[@mattsolomon9172]

I'm a bit confused. If you mounted the teak onto the backer board, how is it that we can't see the backer board on the edges? did you cut a dado in the edge teak to hide it something? great video!

[@g2macs]

Thirty two years ago when I was a teen, I worked in a boatyard. The jobs I detested the most....sanding off gel coat prior to anti fouling and caulking decks.....why? I always got covered in calking which you reminded me of...got in my hair once .....had to be cut out!

[@mynextketchfrontier6351]

I wonder if I can use old reclaim Oak wood flooring for my sail boat flooring?? Is this good wood to use ?

[@301SPARTIATES]

Very nice video and work done!!Trying to repair my boat i just purchased,second hand.Took whole boat apart and repairing everything from scartch,except the hull.Anyway nice job will try to make something nice like you do.

[@knutknutsen5610]

This is not how to lay a teak deck. It's cheating!

[@jpreynolds14f]

Hi there. Is there a certain resin you used for securing the decking to the fiberglass? Also, do you need to stain after sanding? Great videos! I love them all! Your the man!

[@alessandraolivieri8209]

where did you buy the teak from? Im trying to find some just like that with the black lines

[@steveperry948]

Great Video. Very informative. Can you elaborate on sealing the perimeter border to the deck? Curious about long term weather tightness at perimeter. Would it serve to use the same black sealant at the edge of the border to fiberglass location? Also how does thick pre-fab deck system lend itself to a contoured surface that isn’t so flat? Thank you.

[@newburyportvideo]

I liked your video. good light and audio. I would have done a couple of things differently but you done good.

[@Grympel]

Where do you get the ready made teak boards?

[@boatworkstoday]

Carl Angervall These were panels that I was able to get from Teak Decking Systems.

[@larryboats1]

I'm refitting a Columbia sailboat and want to replace the teak and holly cabin sole with teak and rubber. Are the decking panels available retail?

[@quocducnguyen]

That's some fine workmanship! Bravo!!!

[@tomharrell1954]

Wow for a white guy you do great work!!!! Ha ha ha lol Beautiful Andy !!!!

[@danawade3333]

Carl, Your videos are so well done. Thank-You and keep them up. I have a 34' Sailboat I'm having to pull the house off of and am trying to salvage the teak on top to reinstall after the new house is built, What do you think? Enjoy

[@russrusselson2136]

good videos

[@andysmart2323]

Which compount we use to stick onfloor

[@velhanostalgia]

Very nice work. Perfect. Do you work alone? Congrats from Brasil 👏👏👏

[@dansetango]

obviously you are an artist....at what you are doing...i have great respect for work that is performed the way you do.....

[@ryanedwards4325]

Where do you get a chisel like that? 9:25

[@ButterflySiPattaya]

Looks fantastic, I’m just about to tackle my own boat. Does the main panels come pre made or do you need to fabricate them yourself from strips of teak?

[@cekiert]

What is a good thickness for teak decking is 1/4" too thin? Is there a type of teak to stay away from as there are several sub species of teak?

[@Robin74800]

beauty ! Is the teak panel premade ? if it is where can we get some ? is it epoxy on the teak for the finish or something else ? :) thank you for the tips !! beautiful work

[@lukiss01]

How do u fasten the boarder trim? Screws and apoxy?

[@rocket685]

Fantastic work, really appreciate you taking your time making the videos. Thanks a lot!

[@Thomas..Anderson]

I could not resist that pink clad baby, so I liked this video.

[@AaronNielsen]

looks good ! The nibbing is usually off of a small template , the curve comes to half a batten and then they are connected from the half batten curve back to the caulk seam it creates a slight angle.

[@sailorsrpblc6625]

Mate, always enjoy watching your videos here in Germany and your love to details!!!!

[@dansetango]

what is the brown filler you have used with epoxy ?

[@ZAINEYLAINEY1]

what is the name of the cutting chizzal and what is the name of the multi tool sander.polisher rotary thing that you can attach a vacuum cleaner to. hope you understand Our English.teehee. I have just bought a boat and after washing it ..boy it needs work. I had a brain injury a few years ago and i can only learn through vision /video so i am so very grateful for your vids you star you

[@boatworkstoday]

The chisel I used is a Japanese style called a crank neck chisel. The other tool I used is called a rotary sander or random orbit sander. Some sanders are able to be hooked to a vacuum while others just use a small filter. The ones that hook to a vacuum work much better at keeping dust down, but they also cost a lot more :-( Hope this helps!

[@jefersonscholze9445]

Thanks a lot to share with us your talent to wood work.

[@dr.kurtjoachimmaass1698]

You have never seen a real pretty teakdeck in perfekt craftsmanship !!!!

[@guidotagliapietra5450]

very good job and perfect explanation!!! Thanks

[@danhix1371]

Awesome video! And the final look is amazing. But why do the nibs other than it looks cool? Is there a structural advantage? or is it primarily just for the look?

[@boatworkstoday]

+Dan Hicks mainly for appearance :-). I think it looks better than squared ends

[@builtyankeegirl]

Awesome job, very well done start to finish video, this just gives me great info for various applications in future projects.

[@andysmart2323]

And what call blue teyp pls

[@colincampbell7923]

I keep forgetting to ask, whats the guitar song you use in your videos? Thanks.

[@DaveAdams308]

Beautiful work.

[@dngoodchild]

Fine traditional craftsmanship in a modern day environment!

[@garyjewett777]

I like your style. Thanks
