Bringing Home the Fiberglass - Episode 189 - Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat

The finishing touches go onto the shower pan, which gets a drain installed, and the anchor locker, which gets an outlet for gunk that might make its way via the anchor chain. Two-part epoxy paint serves as yet another waterproof barrier for these pieces, which will live their lives largely in places where they won't be seen, and so will need a lot of protection from potential mold or standing water. The refrigerator has a few extra steps until it's finished, and adding three layers of 1" polyisocyanurate panel is a part of that. Steve unboxes some parts of Victoria that we haven't seen in a long time, as we around the corner toward the nitty gritty of what goes where for our 12-volt electrical system.

Steve and Alix started as amateur boat builders building a 38' wooden boat in Steve's 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?
