Are we asking too much from this tiny space?? Our boat restoration project hits a snag as we try to get creative and fit the worlds smallest home office and command center in a tiny corner of our 34″ salvage sailboat. We’re trying to have it all in this boat refit but as we almost give up on this woodworking delema, we make a breakthrough! Check out what we come up with and let us know what you think of our solution!

Did you like our creative solution to finalizing our nav desk / home office?? Would you have done anything differently? If you have seen other creative seating solutions in small boats, let us know! Thanks for tuning in and we hope you liked this weeks episode 😁⛵ Cheers!
Its a nice clever design however I would have thought that a fold up section from the seat itself with built in scissor supports (like a fold up table would have been far simpler and stronger.
nice
I love the backrest and the cabinets. Wow blown away
I love your dog he remind me of my dog so cute 👍👍💯
A functional/sturdy backrest you won't see in any production boats … kudos to the Lahakaians and woodworkers.
Yup, nice seat back. I've been using the fridge 😉 but yours will probably not be a portable fridge…
Fernando is an amazing finish carpenter! Love the caption of Luke and your dog, they were really enjoying the project. Could you use the backrest as a spice rack? Incredible interior, your going to love the finish product.
Interesting idea for the backrest! I would want to make sure the slides are easily replaceable and there was some kind of backing plate on the backside to spread the load. Also, I think making the sliding backrest be part of the couch backrest, instead of making a door might work better. Keep at it!
the door should be incorporated into the backrest, so not so much a door, but a front piece of the seat, this would also protect hitting the protruding hard edge of the backrest when pulled out.
Great idea for the sliding back rest. Now use the back of the back rest for a spice, pepper sauce and/or tool rack!
I can't believe that you didn't get the backrest recline too..😉🙂👍
Love the work you are doing on your boat
Still you will not introduce your cute dog. If he is invisible in your project, I am invisible in yours. Checking out, bye!
My Gosh! how good are those guys, so creative, Awesome concepts turned into reality and working. Great Job everyone.
Never give up, you two are amazing and the little dog lol, luv your vids, I can imagine the end result and it’s going to look absolutely awesome, take care everyone.😊😊😊😊👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧👍🏻
That's either got to be your own factory or that must have cost a fortune to design and build at a workshop like that
excellent idea for the backrest. there's even room for a cushion.
Never make it easy when you can complicate things.
I wanted, and I always wanted, and I wanted very strongly.
This is a phrase an Italian playwright, Vittorio Alfieri, said in 1783 in Siena, so much so that he had his servant tie him to the chair until he finished writing the play. Even finding difficult solutions, one should never give in.
However, I am not convinced by the backrest; if a slim person like me of 120 kg leans on it, it breaks through after a while.
I thought an easier solution would be to turn the work surface 90° and you would have the existing cabinet as a backrest.
Hi great guys
You say "WE" all the time but all the work was done by other people.
O isolamento que usaram é de fibra de vidro?
I'd hate to see the bill from Mobili Mare! I don't think Laurie likes dogs….
I wonder if you need further reinforcement on the back rest. I’m not convinced it will stand the test of time.
Love the amazing idea of the back rest
A double surface seat with the top section rising as a back rest with a hydraulic arm would have worked.
Great to see a plan come together keep going guys cheers n beers Marty Australia
Great design. You can put a couple of shelves in the backrest for small items.
its look very good, great ideas 😋
What do you cover the open sides of the plywood with?
It's interesting watching this build. If it weren't for the over the top rediculous narration that happens it would actually be enjoyable watching. But I'm still trying to figure out which is worse, that stupid waste of space desk or the absolutely retarded backrest. It's honestly like 2 six year olds were given permission to mess up a completely good boat anyway they want to
That backrest is a great solution. I would think about some support against it bending if you lean against it to much. I think this can be folded or stored in the space behind the drawer.
But why a door to close the gap? Just take the part of the bench backrest/cover for the storage space and use it as a front for the drawer. You will need a seperate cushion for the bench backrest either way, but you don't have a door that might rattle while open, and you won't need any hinges for the door.
Its beautiful but i hope for you that it in bic waves strong is, the idee is good
You can use the volume between the slides to store some items.
Reminds me of some phone booths I designed, for a lawyer resource center. I did just what they asked me, but when I went to finished facility, they told me I made them too comfortable and people were making them their all day office.
Great idea! The other hing I really like is your use of exposed plywood. Am I right in Assuming the wood veneer is varnished along with the edges?
I'm surprised that these craftsmen have not made use of the hot glue trick for making batten patterns.
Absolutely unique design. I have never seen a retractable backrest like that. You might want to be cautious about using it underway with any kind of sea. If the boat lurches suddenly and Luke falls against the backrest with his full weight, it is likely to rip it out (not to mention the damage it could do to Luke!) Once again, excellent video, editing, narration, and choice of music. You're nailing it.
Acho interessante. Facilidade deles em construir a marcenaria. Parece que estou desenhando em 3d.
G'day Lori and Luke, I loved the music on this vid.❤❤❤❤ Thank you both.❤❤❤❤
That's a good idea for backrest I glad you mentioned about a cushion with it as well otherwise the gap would cause backache looking forward to next week's episode 😊😊
The idea of doing this slide out backrest is good, with one caveat : it’s purely cantilever, and will fail pretty quickly, unless you install a vertical support at the cantilevering end of the backrest, which can also be retractable and fixed either in the corpus of the bench corpus, or swivel down from the backrest and clip-fixed to the bench. Don’t underestimate the cantilever forces acting on the slides, it will tear and wear quickly.
Very innovative 🎉❤
Finally I see glue being used, not just screws !
