Acorn to Arabella - Journey of a Wooden Boat - Episode 117: We Ran Out of Dry Oak, Now What?

In this episode we install some more oak planks, remove the stairs to the second floor so we can keep planking and run out of dry oak for planking stock. Don't worry though, there are many ways to keep moving forward while the recently milled oak cures. If you are interested in some of the original music Ben Fundis (the video editor) creates for the channel here is a sound track for you! http://benfundis.bandcamp.com/album/acorn-to-arabella-volume-1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for watching and if you want to help the journey continue here are a few ways you can.
