We Built a Teak Floor in Our DREAM CAR!

Happy New Year! We are back in the shop and I can't think of anything better we would want to work on as our first project of the new year! This vintage Land Rover defender is pretty much one of a kind and is such amazing shape. Our client wanted us to add a teak deck or teak flooring into the back and we gotta pat ourselves on the back for this one because it turned out incredible!

Hello 2024!🎉Our client wanted a teak floor in his vintage Land Rover Defender and this quickly turned into our DREAM CAR! Anyone else a sucker for vintage cars? 😅

[@GibClark]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻looks awesome

[@JR-wh5rh]

Love your videos🙏keep up the good work and uploading , shoutout from south tx

[@Polbonito]

Turn those wood dust into wood pellets and then use it to power a wood pellet stove that could heat up your shop. It's much cheaper than using electric or gas heaters since you already have the fuel.

[@makethepart]

Great work Dylan and Molly!

[@joemissanelli3395]

Wow! Excellent work!

[@Woodbrew]

Thank you very much!

[@tripledprojects]

Brings back a lot of memories from when I used to work in the auto industry, making the chassis for the Defender. They certainly don’t make them anything like that now.

[@diyfferent]

That came out really nice. I'd love to experiment with some of that VHB tape. I've heard great things about it but tape alone scares me. You guys are brave though! Great work guys. Take care.

[@jepcozenith40]

Dylan has 🎵the eye of the scriber, rising up to the challege of the Rover.🎶

[@aarong402]

I feel like you guys knocked it out of the park on the floor. Great work

[@TotalBoat]

What an awesome custom teak project! Great work!

[@Woodbrew]

Thank you thank you!

[@handyjim]

fantastic job guy's

[@portugeeprepper6821]

Looks awesome!

[@jordandegraaff]

Perfection!

[@Woodbrew]

Thank you!

[@markduggan3451]

That is a stunning car that you improved.

[@scottmorris4914]

Teak is hard on cutters, not only oily, but high in silica content.

[@Woodbrew]

Yep!

[@scottmorris4914]

@@Woodbrew I have a wood I have been buying called Mora. Tablesaw cuts it great. It kills my router bits. So I only use what I have left for simple things that only require a tablesaw cut.

[@BuckWheat0591]

You guys make a great team and congrats on the baby boy on board.

[@BuckWheat0591]

I didn't realize you have a sweet wood shop. Nice!

[@5280Woodworking]

Wow guys, sooooo cool! I think it turned out really great.

[@Woodbrew]

Thank you!!

[@BuckWheat0591]

That saw dust is great for a garden.

[@danaowen9014]

I know that this was a small job considering what scale you normally do, but this came out so stunning, it is show quality, wow.

[@Woodbrew]

Appreciate it!

[@guybowers9094]

You guys did a really great job on this project. very nice work. Inlaying that Land Rover badge was a really nice touch

[@MrKnotWright]

Another AWESOME job, the custom will be so proud to show off your craftsmanship!

[@Woodbrew]

Awe thank you so much!

[@j.stacyguy8401]

The customer LOVES it!

[@jimrosson6702]

Absolutely amazing work it looks great love the inlay amazing touch.

[@Darrell_Coquillette]

You two did a great job on that! It looks really nice!

[@Woodbrew]

Thank you so much!

[@jimbain-u2n]

Awesome work!

Great Job!

[@Woodbrew]

Thanks so much! This was a fun one☺️

[@dsdragoon]

Very nice looking project. I sure hope your client loves it.

[@Woodbrew]

They did! Thank you!

[@Thig706]

I love yall's videos. My mom absolutely loved the dog Christmas ornaments I ordered from yall! Thank yall for what you do.

[@Woodbrew]

Awe I’m so happy! Thank you!!

[@scottmorris4914]

Hey guys, welcome back. Happy New Year. Was getting a little concerned, making sure you were okay. Great project. Great wood makes a great upgrade to a vehicle like this.

[@Woodbrew]

Happy new year! Yes, love how this turned out!

[@BuckWheat0591]

Hey that could be a T-Shirt if I could find your store.

[@1977sturrock]

quality work. well done.=

[@Woodbrew]

Glad you liked it!

[@soloplus2]

nicely done, how beautiful

[@karenalefounder4083]

I have missed you two. Really glad you are back. Hope you both okay. You must have had a great break because you actually looked like we're having fun with this build. Great job.x

[@Woodbrew]

Us too! Thank you!

[@jasonpaul7174]

Where did you get the Teak wood? Is it hard to find?

[@H2Dwoat]

Hi, did you have to leave a gap for expansion on the slats?

[@connorotoole7757]

Is there any concern with wood movement here? Boards butted up with no room for expansion

[@scottmorris4914]

On the dust collector, QUIT filling it up? LOL. Dang, but you are sending that much cuttings over with all that wood.. Got to make emptying in the morning a first thing to do. LOL

[@Woodbrew]

I’d be emptying it every 30 minutes. The whole point of the alarm to let you know when to empty it, but the alarm rarely works.

[@scottmorris4914]

@@Woodbrew that sucks. Who. They made a great collector, unfortunately no way to make a bigger container. Could you put it up on a platform, and make a cutout on the bottom to make a bigger container for the dust? Just brainstorming. I like to fix things. LOL

[@CaptM44]

Is there any concern for wood expansion buckling ?

[@j.stacyguy8401]

5 months in & ZERO expansion or any type of reduction/expansion of joints! It’s been in heat, humidity & wet…NO CHANGE👍🏽

[@AngelLuisTrinidad]

Dylan, you need chapstick, use it constantly and your lip will heal. I live in a tropic island and at winter I still get them, so it doesn't have to do with cold weather.

[@Woodbrew]

It got busted from rough housing with the dogs🫠

[@BuckWheat0591]

Molly is figuring out that a new tool / tools are required to be on top

[@richardjones8236]

That is some "REALLY" custom woodwork. The artist in you is beginning to really reveal itself. Two quick questions: 1. What was the sealer you used in the final step? 2. The metal drip edge . . . was it aluminum and did you bend it yourself? Fantastic job, as usual!! ❤👍

[@Woodbrew]

It’s just teak oil! Linked in the description🤗 And it’s called aluminum angle, so already comes with the bend!

[@Ding_Bat]

I’ve never seen the point of a Defender. I have a plethora of reasons, and not enough space to type them all. That being said, a friend who was abroad asked me to take his Defender 90 out for a drive to charge the battery - said there was a bottle of whiskey in it for me. So my son and I took it for a drive as agreed, and my plethora of reasons were all validated. Until we turned off the paved road… Off road it just started making sense. The more we drove, the more it started to make sense. The more we drove, the more I actually started to like it - to the point that we slowed down and rolled down the windows... We began observing rather than glancing. We saw nature. We became one with nature. We fell in love with nature. A 45 minute “freeway drive to charge the battery” turned into a 4 hour excursion which we absolutely loved. When we finally got back on paved roads, my plethora of reasons were all justified again within 10 minutes, but this time I could not care less. The Defender had stolen my heart. It wiggled and rattled its way in there, and I’m sure my blood is a little greener than before (I am a Springbok rugby supporter, after all!). We filled the Landy up, and parked it a my friend’s house, dusty and muddy - the way it should be - which earned us another bottle of whiskey. Would I buy one? Absolutely not (yet)! But I do get why people love them like they do, and I sure can respect that…

[@jenniferbecnel439]

What do you all do with all that sawdust?

[@Woodbrew]

Usually put it in low spots in the yard or take to our neighbor’s for their chickens!

[@ihmesekoilua]

Those NA spec Defenders are pretty pricey, just the teak deck would cost more than half of what a regular Defender 90 would cost over here :P. Even got the Huey license plate, so someone's an enthusiast... man... I really need to step up my land rover game. Probably start by getting the damn thing running tho...

[@Woodbrew]

Gosh, we would love to have another restoration project! But this time one that wasn’t a main driver lol

[@gregshaw4280]

congrats on the LANDY , you going to give it a name? 🙂

[@gregshaw4280]

i thought it was yours🙄

[@Woodbrew]

It’s our clients! Wish it was ours🤣

[@TheBlueMuzzy]

Noice indeed!

[@housemakes]

How do you guys keep all of your material that's on hand from twisting? We just started purchasing more bulk material and noticed (especially with 3/4") that everything cups or twists because it's out in our garage. Do you run into the same issues and then just mill that stuff out?

[@Woodbrew]

Our shop is climate controlled, but it sounds like your lumber might not be properly dried. A small a amount of twist, bow, or cup is somewhat normal.

[@RCpilot1013]

What happened to yalls 1994 f150?

[@thejacobfromstateprison3886]

@13:27 that’s what she said

[@BuckWheat0591]

Grizzly is good enough to be good enough to be good enough for 99 percent of the average bears.

[@peterrondelez]

Nice, but a little anticlimactic because for some reason I was expecting the grooves to be calked like on teak boat decks.

[@BuckWheat0591]

Lets all face it we like getting a new toy.

[@mhaz49]

Excellent video as always, but Teak does not come from Africa. It grows in Burma, Laos, Thailand, and India. That is Southeast Asia.

[@Woodbrew]

This is an African teak also known as Iroko.

[@jamesbrunk9817]

I fix it!?!?!?

[@Woodbrew]

Fix it Feb up next!

[@joem924]

I would lose all of my money looking through the whiteside cabinet.
