New Crew Member, Meet KP - Episode 204 - Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat

For more information about Open House and to get updates, visit this page: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/visitor-welcome We've had a history of talented, kind, supportive crew here. They're more than employees, of course. KP came to us by way of a long-time friendship with Annie B. They met in high school, and somehow both ended up working in the wooden boat world. KP comes to Acorn to Arabella with both sailing and carpentry experience, and has their 100 ton captain's license as well. After a couple of summers on schooner Mary Day out of Camden and then attending Carpenter's Boat Shop in 2004 in Pemaquid, Maine. We'll see KP's favorite tools, too. Through KP's orientation, you'll also get a peek into the next steps for Arabella in the coming few months. What's up with the rest of the planking? What about laying the deck? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 an 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 he and the crew 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?
