How To Use A Board Stretcher, Housing The Lithium Batteries - Episode 256 - Acorn to Arabella

Support Cindy's ride for Dana Farber's Cancer Research: https://profile.pmc.org/CF0139 To follow her cross-USA bicycle trip: https://www.polarsteps.com/CindyFuhs Our lithium iron phosphate batteries by SOK Batteries for this DIY wooden sailboat need a safe, strong home in the stern section of the boat alongside the marine refrigerator compressor and Victron DC power inverter. This week, Adin builds those, and we also see a lot of sanding, sanding sanding, cleaning, sanding and some sanding. But we don't subject you to as much of it as got done! We're always looking for volunteers, and these days we're hoping to get a large crew together to make our boat launch celebration on June 17 and 18 a huge success.

Steve started as an amateur wooden boat builder building 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 beyond-sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that classic wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY boatbuilding project will continue well past launch, when he and the crew will 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!
