Acorn to Arabella - Journey of a Wooden Boat - Episode 16: Melting Lead
September 15, 2017 by Acorn To Arabella | Language: EN Play Time: 00:19:25 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
The lead keel is one of the most exciting parts of this build at the moment but it is also the scariest, by far! We have melted down some of the wheel weights and loose lead in order to weigh it, while talking about that, we weigh in on the actual pour. Also, a few updates at the end of the video.
We hope you enjoy.
Also, we will be showing a short film at the International Maritime Film Festival in Bucksport ME, the last weekend of this month (September 2017). We would love to see as many people as possible there! We’ll be doing a Q and A and meeting up at the pub afterwards.
