Thanks Clark, I have a Cheoy Lee Off Shore 28 and I’m doing the same replacing process of my teak deck. Finding the teak is the challenge. I’m in Miami and will have to go to Ft.Lauderdale to source and have the teak cut.
Thanks Clark! Your videos help me feel better about my Baba 30 being functional and not a show piece. Most people here at Shilshole spend so much time on the appearance of their boat and not using it. You two are a huge inspiration! I would love to see an overview of the marine toilet system. Looking forward to your next video.
Tech Tip 1: Mason's brush for cleaning dust & crumbly, stuck bits. These look like clumsy paint brushes but have stiff, durable bristles & make fast work of whisking away dirt & debris. TT2: Small "Japanese" trim saw, cuts on pull stone, cuts very fast, super thin kerf. A folding saw stows brilliantly, & they're remarkably inexpensive these days.
I tried really hard not to watch this guys, but nostalgia meantI was on a lower. It feels like I have spent a lifetime fussing over and loving wood on boats. we'll my last Sailboat is the last one I could do it sadly, as now I am a forced convert to White non slip on decks, and luckily there is a very nice USA one, that goes on top of two coats of an epoxy base, for a foot and knee friendly Non slip finish, and which has very nice reviews. So from now on, I'll just have to drool all over other people's woodwork. Sigh. Best Wishes. Bob. 🤔🌟🌟🌟👍❤️
14:34 An "oscillating Multi Tool" is what you're describing. It's often call a "Fein tool", since Fein was the company that invented it back in 1967. But since the patent has long expired, the tool is sold by many manufacturers these days.
Check into a Japanese razor saw or cross cut saw. They cut on the pull stroke rather than the push. This results in ore fine control over the path of the blade. These saws are also very thin and very sharp. Yup for a reputable wood working store rather than a big box…more money but MUCH better quality.
They are becoming very difficult to find now that the Japan woodworker catalog is no more. I have not been able to find good quality Japanese tools in years. And even back then a good one was around $250. You are right they are the best handsaws ever made. A 240mm was my favorite. I won't go into shaku measurements and the ken module because nobody will understand what I'm talking about.
Please be careful with the poisions leadbrick. You should not touch it with bare hands and touch your face afterwards, better use an another metall or a stone. On buildingsides in we even have a cleaning procedere and gloves to work with.
If I remember correctly, I saw something saying the vast majority of teak comes from Burma/Myanmar, and exports have all but stopped due to the civil war they've been at for the last few years.
Clark, I'm curious. Is there usually a dude at the anchorage that works on people's boats for them? Like a fellow sailor that works for half marine price plus beers? I could be wrong, but i have a feeling you can run into that guy if you're looking for him. Any insights?
@@Clarks-Adventure I'm almost there. Working on filling in some of the blanks in my plan, as you see. Just as soon as I get this boat ready.. probably splash in a month, Bahamas will probably be next year, you can leave from my home port in north alabama (conveniently.) Thanks for the inspiration.
You will not find a durable teak wood any more. The farmed teak is much softer than the wild one. These decks with about 6-8mm plank thickness will last about 10 years in tropical environment. Does it calculate, when you have to invest about 800$ per m^2?
Just say no to teak decks. They suck in every way. They are dirty, they ate maintenance intensive, they are too hot to walk on in the sun, they make the boat interior hot, most of them leak.....I hate teak decks.
Great post my friend. I look forward to replicating this process in the future with more confidence. 🌞⛵🌴
I'm lazy. I will never own a boat with a teak deck. Still watched, because you can always learn something! Thanks for the video!
I don't know why I enjoy your videos exactly but I do. Keep it up.
Thanks for this video. You’ve taken a job that can be a bit daunting, and made it manageable

Great video as usual. Teak decks are cool- you are lucky to have such a good substrate.
Good information but I'll likely never use it because my wife doen't like boats, but as 007, said never say never. Keep the good stuff coming Clark.
Love the format!! your narration while you work is extremely helpful and probably easier to do?

What about the gaps between the sides/strips you replaced? Do you fill those with the same glue/sealant?
Just do whatever the rest of the boat is. I just leave them open. Part of my functional but not perfect esthetics
😎
👍!!!

The primary product of any woodworking project is sawdust.

Of course

For repairs that keep the teak deck you have servicable it's definitely worth it
