Acorn to Arabella - Journey of a Wooden Boat - Episode 53: Framed and Disassembling

All the frames are steamed in! AND we got donated a TON of white cedar! We have been thinking about our planking material since we started and were wondering if it would be worth buying cedar or if we were better off planking in our beautiful white oak and pine. But a fan contacted us to say he had white cedar we could cut off his property. So... that means we have to cool our heels a little bit as we have to wait on the cedar. A good task, while we work all that out, is starting to disassemble Victoria. There is going to be lots of good stuff coming from that project! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
