Boat Work: Roller Furler and Lazy Jacks - Episode 279 - Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat

For those of you missing some of the woodworking and boatbuilding projects, we get to some much-anticipated DIY projects while at the mooring in Portland, Maine, such as getting the cherry wood winch bases cut to size, shaped, and installed on the coamings. Spoiler alert, they're beautiful. Other projects tackled: Lazy jacks were installed, and Steve does a cool hardware trick to get the rings he needed for them. It involves stainless steel chain. The roller furler for the furling jib has lengths of stainless steel that need to be cut to size and screwed to each other. Ever used Loctite AND 3M 5200 on a particular thing? This is definitely a measure 8 times cut once scenario, considering how very right it works when it's right, and how very wrong it can go if it's a little off-size. A sunset sail?! Don't mind if we do! Thanks for coming out, friends.

Steve began the journey as an amateur wooden boat builder crafting a 38' wooden sailboat 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 now sailing the boat-sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that traditional wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project continues beyond the boat shop, as Steve and crew travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden 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 supports A2A!
