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? 😅

Great work Dylan and Molly!

What an awesome custom teak project! Great work!

Thank you thank you!

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.

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

@@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.

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

That is a stunning car that you improved.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻looks awesome

Wow! Excellent work!

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

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

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.

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

The customer LOVES it!

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.

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…

fantastic job guy's

Looks awesome!

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...

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

6 ай бұрын

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

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

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.

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

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

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

6 ай бұрын

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.

@@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

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

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

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

6 ай бұрын

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.

What do you all do with all that sawdust?
