Acorn to Arabella - Journey of a Wooden Boat - Episode 93: A Little Bit Behind the Scenes

We have been working on sending tools down to SAILCARGO for a while now and we finally are getting to the point of actually shipping things! With everything we gathered, we had to figure out how to get it down there and not lose anything in the process... so, we built crates to keep everything together while it was shipped down to the in a container. The best part about this is that we got the crew together to help us put this all together! But even better than that was that I, Alix, got to spend my birthday doing something great for an amazing project, with a crew of people I care about. With that done and ready for the shipping container we got to get back to work, but we thought we would do something a little bit different for this video. We invited our editor extraordinaire, Ben Fundis, over to also do some shooting and get a little behind the scenes look for you all to see how we go about making the videos share with you. So, while we worked on the second to last set of oak planks, Ben got some great footage of both, work on Arabella but also work on getting footage for the videos. Something that not many people get a chance to see! We hope you enjoy this little behind the scenes and wish you all some very merry holidays coming up! Speaking of holidays, we wanted to give Ben, who has been working very hard to keep these videos coming out on time every week, a little bit of a break. So... we are going to be taking next week off and be back in two weeks with a new video for you all. Thank you so much for the support and we hope you get to enjoy some quality time with family! All the best from the Acorn to Arabella crew! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Acorn to Arabella wishlist: http://www.acorntoarabella.com/acorn-to-arabella-wishlist Jamestown Distributors Referral: If you are going to shop at Jamestown Distributors, please consider using our Total Boat referral code: http://totalboat.refr.cc/steveandalixa?t=tg 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
