The sheer strake gets its jewelry (which is what Annie B calls bronze hardware... or boat hardware of any kind, really) and gets a couple of other details that are both practical and lovely to look at. The edge gets rounded with a router, and Steve cuts a bead for the looks but mostly for the practicality of knowing where one type of finish ends and the other begins. Steve goes over the choices and reasoning behind the sizes and types of bronze fasteners we're using here and there around the boat. Robin has a first peek at the covering board with all of the details added. The nib planks are milled, glued up, shaped, and installed, bungs n' all. And then Steve puts the sander to them like there's no tomorrow. THANK YOU for your support.

Steve started as an amateur boat builder building a 38' wooden boat in his backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and beyond—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY wooden boat project will continue well past launch, when he and the crew will travel and learn to cruise aboard the boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are interested in supporting/helping here are a few ways: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/how-to-help Acorn to Arabella's wishlist: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/wishlistpriority TotalBoat Referral: Need something TotalBoat sells?
