All Together Now - Episode 198 - Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat

To get yourself a reminder when we go live on February 11 visit: https://youtu.be/pCa0VXfjl_8 Visiting February 11 here in Granby? Please read this: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/visitor-welcome In this episode, we fabricate, modify, and install a bunch of hardware for the companionway steps, which have connections to the refrigerator, bilge stringers, sole, and cabin house. We create more connections and tie more seemingly disparate projects together than we ever have, and it's really something for us to see it all come together into a cohesive whole. Many boats have these sort of arrangements for their entry. A great many production boats, for example, have a companionway that integrates the galley counter as one of the steps, and because of its placement, the galley counter is also, in fact, part of an engine box. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sign up for our email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hn3Qyv Acorn to Arabella is a boat building project taking place in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve started as amateur boat builder building a 38' wooden boat in his 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are interested in supporting/helping here are a few ways: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/how-to-help Acorn to Arabella's wishlist: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/wishlistpriority TotalBoat Referral: Need something TotalBoat sells?
