We start today in the galley, where Steve has repurposed the woodstove chimney into as a place where a galley exhaust fan can audition. Cooking aboard this boat has taught Akiva that loud noises happen a short time after the stove turns on, so he's been a pretty anxious boat dog around mealtimes. Steve installs the blower and works out the kinks. Building just about anything from spruce sourced at a lumber yard is a new experience for Steve, and he takes two carefully selected boards to a shop with a family connection to glue the new mizzen boom and shape it up. -------------------------- Sign up for our email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hn3Qyv Acorn to Arabella started as a wooden boat building project in Granby, Massachusetts. 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!
