Acorn to Arabella - Journey of a Wooden Boat - Episode 44: Putting Up the Molds

Need an explanation of bent frame construction? Here's the first part. We've been working fast now and after assembling the backbone, it was time to install the molds. Which proved to be a bit more challenging than expected in our boathouse. We will be steaming most of the frames in this weekend (september 22nd and 23rd 2018). Feel free to stop by and watch if you are in the area! Details to be found on the event we created on facebook. https://www.facebook.com/events/1855055254583847/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
