Acorn to Arabella - Journey of a Wooden Boat - Episode 22: Great Grandpappy's Gift from the Grave

Right in front of the house is a row of perfectly straight Norway spruces. We couldn't help but think about the possibility of them becoming a part of Arabella. Especially considering that Steve's Great Grandfather planted them. What a great story to become a part of our ship! Now, to take it down in one piece and safely... As mentioned in the video, we are looking to put out a new piece every other week where we answer questions people send in, preferably via a short video clip so that we can incorporate that into the segment. If you would like to send us a question, please send a message with the attachment to: acorntoarabella@gmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for the support and if you are looking to do more, please consider becoming a patron at http://www.patreon.com/acorntoarabella 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
