This week on Onboard Lifestyle we make window trim out of a continuous piece of molding formed to fit a compound radius surface of our catamaran. Come back n...

okay next is getting the trim for the

inside of the windows belt what I've

done is taken my window templates had

the windows cut now I'm using this on

the opposite side

clapping it in

bending it into the radius of the cabin

clock here

this is that unidirectional plywood so

Ben's really nicely actually kinda mean

out right now it was supposed to be like

92 94 today but the Wildfire blew all

this smoke

and drop the temperature about

just Center this up

Oh

nice and tight everywhere

now I could trace

faces

this gives me

the inside cut out of my trim

okay now that I have my inside layout of

the trim this is where I get the outside

layout I kind of spaced you're the same

thickness as my trim

and I use it

it's a whole nice even

radius

we're on the floor

the best way to get you from having that

obscure looking radius okay

real simple anyway the three here for

Windows I'm doing all traces out today

cut him out in the morning and I these

will be my new router templates for the

window trim okay look at this beautiful

sunrise

in Seattle

can't beat this view

good morning Seattle let's get to work

my project is now that I've traced all

my window trim onto these panels panels

are actually pretty slick the plywood's

may depend so I was able to just blow it

right up into the whole shape trace it

out now I'm flattening it back out to

cut it so high just use those three four

tools here to get this cut out I use a

little skill saw to cut the straight

lines jigsaw to cut the inside corner

and then I use a belt sander to get the

outside corner then I use a little drum

sander just to fine-tune this right here

and when they're done they look like

this some of my last one

all these are templates for a router to

guide on to cut these out of us antenna

so we've got a lot of hours into just

making templates but it sure makes it

smooth and when it's all said and done

another Sunday another boat project this

is so exciting but look at the carnage

she was working on the window trims for

the front and he's routing and live

handing what's going on

these are the templates I made so with

these I was able to router out the

window trim out of starboard lumber 3/4

starboard now easing the edge on this

what I've done these over here

nice you figured out what side this is

on this is Widow one just like this up

to there

and I want to router the backside so

without mixing it up turn it over

you're kind of confusing me longer I

don't confuse me thanks it's really like

[Music]

now my work is done and yours just

begins you make it seem so easy wish I

could do that looks like fun and for me

too sweet okay I am putting the trim on

the first two windows here I'm gonna

hold off on these I want to see how it

works I'll do these next two windows

next so how I do that I was using a heat

gun but it didn't work as well as the

Sun did I just put these in the Sun for

20 minutes and I'm able to bandit right

into the radius it's only 75 degrees out

but this black really absorbs the heat

okay

126 degrees hunter 27 so what I'll do is

I'm just heating these up in the Sun

forming them to the hull and then just

putting a small little screw in just to

hold it in place while I get the windows

in it just be too much to hold the frame

the window and then drill and set all

the screws so here's the first two in

this all I've done is just put a little

just a little screw right here this goes

right behind the glass so it'll have

actually a sealant tape and sealer

behind it so it'll all be covered up but

this holds my window trim in place while

I'm setting the windows so that's how I

do it well let's do one right now those

should be plenty warm

got my tool set up here these are plenty

hot

of course I made them flat

because this way you see how much I need

to bend here need to bend that in an

inch and a quarter but now that they're

heated up

let's get these clothes

how much I need to tend this

just clamp these in place let them cool

off

and they'll hold of shape now why I'm

doing this this is actually starboard

lumber the hull is all honeycomb

composite which is sorry I should have

knocked I knew better compass compass

it's me so go back to bed buddy so the

the hull is honeycomb composite when you

screw into it it'll actually cave it in

so what I'm doing is putting this

starboard lumber behind it so when I put

my window in I have nice screw holding

behind and it gives me a nice interior

trim piece as well compass I hear you

buddy so here we go that's it now I'll

do is this countersink a little set

screw to hold the frame in place and go

on to the last one

was unexpected when a marine layer came

in overnight usually not a big deal but

when you have all the windows out of the

boat you get this

so I woke up to a little bit of a mess

hopefully this burns off soon

a bit of a situation here a little bit

of marine layers still coming down

pretty good so it's just running in so

here's how I handled it

[Music]

what do you think of this Emma and Ho

windows are much better than no windows

look at this it's crazy it's just coming

in but I think we got a good grip of it

I think we're catching most of it what

do we do with all this water when we're

done we'll just dump it back in the or

dump it back in the lake

we could I put it in the tank Oh stay in

the buckets stay in the buckets this is

supposed to be over by now so oh come on

stay in the buckets it's kind of fun

it's like a big game rain stop Sun came

out just like this head looking at about

ten days of 70 plus even 80 plus weather

so we're past the rain I'll have enough

time to get this window project button

up so now let's just clean up all the

water

once I had to keep them dry for the next

windows

get these all cut out and let's get this

project done hi

[Music]

what are you doing I am attaching the

trim from this side my screw holes will

be covered by the lens once I put it on

okay

so just put some set screws to hold the

trim on until they get the Polycarbon on

those will be flushed yeah these are

plush and they'll be behind this is so

exciting I know I see exciting all the

time but I really hope there's been two

months we have enough windows no it'll

be windows because see-through

breno is kind of cool is that every time

I look at through there now then I'll be

seeing that how much work it took to put

those these darn things in I do a little

dance
