A2A - Journey of a Wooden Boat - Bonus Content: Dissimilar Metals and Galvanic action Part 1
Over the winter we decided to try out a little experiment we would share with everyone. While doing our research we heard a lot about the effects of different metals on one another. The nobility of a metal will determine how it reacts to others with differing nobility, leading to the more noble metal enhancing the corrosion of the lesser noble one. We found this fascinating and decided it would be interesting to see if we could see if first hand in a little experiment at home. So here we are sharing what we’ve gathered so far.

Acorn to Arabella is a boat building project taking place in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve and Alix started as amateur boat builders building their own 38′ wooden boat in their 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.
