Acorn to Arabella - Journey of a Wooden Boat - Episode 13: Ballast Keel Mold
Before making the lead keel that will fit underneath our boat, we need to make a mold to smelt it in. In order to do so we have to make a plug that is the same shape and will fit in the concrete to form the mold. One more step closer to the 10,000 lbs lead pour!!
