Congrats to Mads and Ava! We are both so happy for you guys. This is the best collaboration you will ever do.....and remember, happy wife= happy Sail Life. Cheers buddy! 💕💕
You and Ava so deserve one another. Thank you so much for sharing. Baseball season is opening so I will miss your live stream; I'm so glad to have found you before you proposed. There are so many words and none I can find properly express the joy you and Ava give. The love a man and woman develop for one another is insanely powerful. So please, keep on keeping on. You folks are perfect.
You never cease to amaze with your boundless creativity! Congratulations! This is me, married to the same woman for 40 years, wishing you and Ava a lifetime of happiness.
What an awesome and heartfelt way to use you teak....It seems Athena has been giving you a lot more than just a project. We first began watching you from the beginning..Pre Athena and we liked you very much...now we have grown to love your videos and love the way you have blossomed. You have really overcome your shyness and have grown so much...truth is we love watching Ava too..she has the same cuteness and shy side you first had too..we think you make a great couple..congratulations🍾🍾💐🥂🥂💐🥰🇨🇦
Congratulations, I love the special ring. I made my wife the first ever toughened zirconia ceramic ring on the planet 27 years ago and proposed with it, she has never taken it off, it is a truly special thing to do.
I am so happy for you two. I've been following your journey for more than 3 years now, going through both good but rough times also. You are the reason I am waiting for the weekend to end so that I can see what you have been up to on your build. You've been and are like an old friend who I see every week on TH-cam, but I hope, I really hope, that someday our paths will cross and we will get to know each other in person! CONGRATULATIONS again, and I wish you all the best! (p.s.: That ring tho... wow)
Was I the only one who snuck towards the ending to get a peek..then went back to watch the rest of the video?? Congrats to the three of you.(including Jukol)
Congratulations Mads and Ava !!! - couldn't think of a better way to kick off your adventure together. May Fair Winds and Calm Seas be with the two of you for many many years.
congratulations!!!! After 25 years of marriage my husband made me a metal spinner ring on his lathe. I have a big diamond but I love my spinner ring more because of the time and effort he put into it. And the diamond gets caught on stuff., I hope you made one for yourself and you can have matching wedding bands.
good evening Mads.just wanted to let you know that I'm living in the past -that is im a year behind on your progress and i am absolutely hooked.your work and patience is envious . i am a year behind because i have been doing my own little yacht restoration and have now finished, so what is better than doing your own boat -watching someone else toiling away. congrats on your engagement to Ava by the way.i did however go to my hardware store and ask for some doohickeys and they just looked at me in a funny way and called the police.haha.
Congratulations to you both - I had absolutely no idea at all where that one was going until the very last few minutes. Thank goodness you got the technology to work in time.
That was one of the coolest things I have seen. A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS IS IN ORDER. All the best wishes from right here in So. Cal! Home sweet home from my Dutch bride and me. (47 years of relative bliss...it can be done!!!)
Congratulations Mads & Ava! Awesome ring Mads, amazing. Wishing you both the best of luck for a long life filled with love and joy. It's off to a good start!
I usually don't comment on any videos, but this time I felt I had to - Thank you for bringing us all along on your adventures so far, and especially because this is only the beginning of so many more wonderful adventures to come. Congratulations to you both!! Wish you the very best, and again, Thank you!
Congratulations to you and Ava, what a great 'Sail Life" way to announce your engagement! This was absolutely the best video EVER!!! God Bless you both!
Congratulations Mads and Ava! I feel foolish for not reading any comments while I was watching, but am glad I didn't ruin the surprise for myself lol. Cheers from never-going-to-warm-up PEI Canada, Bryan.
Awesome and oh so spiffy.!!! A toast from your Canadian friend on the occasion of DIY perfection in pre-diamond and teak ring making along with all that it entails.
Congratulations! I have a suspicion that was going to happen when you turned the old deck into ring. Pretty special. All the best guys and stay blessed. Cheers from NZ.
That is so dang spiffy! Congratulations to the both of you and I hope you manage to persuade Ava to relocate to Denmark and that we don't lose you across the pond! I'm planning a mini cruise to Skive in the summer so I hope you'll be there still...
Wow best ring ever! Congratulations to you and Ava. I was wondering where you were going with all that, now we know. Pretty cool actually, but then we would expect no less from the master of the spiffy!
Oh, Oh...one man and his boat...and than a woman shows up and the boat goes in slow motion...anyway...my boat did! Congratulations Mad, I hope you will make Ava very happy!
Congrats you guys. Oh and if you are ever about 1600 miles north of LA I will show you several of the CNC things. 8 to be exact. One of them cuts 10 foot long.
Mads, I read the spoiler alert first so the rings were easy to guess when you made the first two circles. Congratulations! Not only is Ava getting a wonderful and resourceful human being for a life partner you are getting a beautiful and spirited partner as well. May Oden bless you both with joy and happiness. Now get back to work and get Athena finished so that wonderful lady of yours has a nice home to take everywhere in the world with you. See you next week.
Wow! A more perfect gal for a need perfect guy.....what a match and it’s so cool we will get the opportunity to see you guys sailing and living aboard........this is awesome, and u two are awesome........
Man, I know right. My take: he's gonna move to Cali, get a new boat and start over. The question is does he finish Athena first? Personally I'd want out of the EU as soon as I could. Convinced this will never be a sailing channel.
@@dugclrk Why would anyone leave Denmark for the US? Doesn't happen much. "The Scandinavian social democracy, as its two linguistically similar neighbors do, has a higher per-capita GDP, life expectancy and, for what it’s worth, “happiness” rating than the United States. It also has universal healthcare, a ridiculously large sovereign wealth fund and top-notch infrastructure." www.latimes.com/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-norway-trump-immigration-20180111-story.html The only reason I can see for moving to the US is that it is warmer.
@@misterprofessor3511 All that's true for now, I just don't see the EU allowing member nations to remain sovereign for long, with the richer countries having to keep bailing out the poorer ones I don't see it as sustainable for long. I'd like to see the Scandinavian countries form their own bloc. Waiting to see what becomes of Brexit.
That's AWESOME!!!!! I'm so proud of you bud! And happy for the both of you. In Canada, there is a saying you might get a giggle from. If they can't find ya handsome, at least they can find ya handy! LOL! Cheers and congratulations to the both of you.
Haha congratulations! And thanks for the experiments, really interesting to see. I'd love to be able to vacuum infuse veneer like you did that teak. I think wood looks awesome behind resin and it would be cool to vacuum infuse kajak or kanu like this. I guess you need some kind of flow channels in the wood. Maybe drill lots of small holes with a CNC. I think they are called "bleeder holes" with foam that is used for vacuum infusion.
Congrats guys!!! Best wishes from the bottom of my heart. Now, Ava you need to move in with Mads so he can concentrate on your boat. You've been a terrible distraction and his fans need him now. 😂😂😜😜👍👍👌👌

I knew what ever you were working on would bring about a new level of spiffiness - congratulations!
Ok, who else skipped right to the end, then went back to watch the video? Congrats to the both of you!!

There is more love and commitment in those rings than could ever be purchased at a jewelry store! Congrats to you and Ava!
Except it looks like the ring she's wearing at the end has a diamond on it, so...
@@garysouza2277 That is an engagement ring. I am assuming these are wedding bands.
@@asraharrison-So she's gonna wear them both???? Highly unlikely...
Omg man!!!! Congratulations!!!! Best of wishes to the two of you! Such an amazing way of announcing the big news. You are a DIY poet!!
Congratulations Mads & Ava! Awesome ring Mads, amazing. Wishing you both the best of luck for a long life filled with love and joy. It's off to a good start!
Very cheeky Mads! And Congratulations! Marriage is the ultimate DIY project.

Wow!!! That was great. Best DIY project yet!!! Congratulations Mads!!
I'm 56 years old, I hope I live long enough to see him sail.
