Acorn to Arabella - Journey of a Wooden Boat - Episode 48: Finishing the Frames

Before the bent frames can be permanently fastened in place they need a final inspection, a coat of oil and their respective socket cleaned up and sealed. We show you how we are going through this process in this video. Also, we are launching another commemorative t-shirt campaign to help fund the costs of the upcoming systems that will need to be installed in Arabella once her hull is planked. We are also launching a newly revised logo depicting the gaff rigged Ingrid, called Stormy Petrel by Atkin. You can purchase one of these by clicking the following link: https://www.bonfire.com/acorn-to-arabella-stormy-petrel (All shirt should ship to the addresses in the continental U.S. in time for the holidays.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
