Acorn to Arabella - Journey of a Wooden Boat - Episode 28: Logging Round 2

There are differing ideas out there on what time of year is best to harvest trees for lumber. In our case, winter was ideal. Due to the cold and the lack of heating in the boathouse, we aren't able to work with certain materials such as paint, epoxy, fairing and bedding compounds, etc. All of which we need now in order to fair and shape the keels in preparation to bolting them together. We therefore harvested a whole new load of trees!

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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
