After the arduous task of dragging our lead keel out of the ground and onto the cribbing in the boathouse, it was time to start working on flattening both keels in preparation for them to be mated together.
See how we set things up in order to do that.
Also, we will be at the Maine Boatbuilder’s show in Portland ME from March 23rd to 25th and are scheduled to do a talk. If you are in the area please come and check out this great event and meet us in person!
Last but definitely not least…. One of our subscriber’s girlfriend contacted us and about a special birthday gift for her boyfriend. She got him a Patreon to our channel asked us to wish him a happy birthday in the video. So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Blair Nichols!!
But let’s see if we can top that and get as many Happy birthday wishes we can pile up for Blair in the comments below! GO!

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.
