Acorn to Arabella - Journey of a Wooden Boat - Bonus Content: Acorn to Arabella 2020 Recap - Part 1

Progress is being made on Arabella every day, but that last time we checked in on what we have done up to now was about two and a half years ago. We felt that a recap of the last couple of years, to see all the work that has been done, would be a really fun trip down memory lane while we get ready for the planking party we have scheduled in a couple of weeks. So much has happened in the last couple of years that we actually had to divide it into two parts! We went from a bare keel timber to a framed boat in less than a year! All while recording and providing videos of the progress (not a small feat in and of itself!). We are so proud to see her standing where she is now and ready to be planked. Seeing everything that has gone into that process is really a fantastic feeling. From laying the keel to building up the bow and stern timbers, to pouring the lead keel and getting the molds stood up and frames bent in, there is a lot to go over. We hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane as much as we have and that this gets you just as excited to see what is to come! Thank you all for the support we have received and we are very thankful to have you all along for the journey! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sign up for our email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hn3Qyv Acorn to Arabella is a boat building project taking place in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve and Alix started as amateur boat builders building their own 38' wooden boat in their 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 project will continue well past launch, when they 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Acorn to Arabella wishlist: http://www.acorntoarabella.com/acorn-to-arabella-wishlist Jamestown Distributors Referral: If you are going to shop at Jamestown Distributors, please consider using our Total Boat referral code: http://totalboat.refr.cc/steveandalixa?t=tg FOLLOW US: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acorntoarabella Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/acorntoarabella/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/acorntoarabella Website: http://www.acorntoarabella.com
