The deadwood shaped in the last episode is capped with a wormshoe. The wormshoe is a protective sacrificial piece that can be replaced if it is ever damaged from running aground or any similar mishap.
We have help from Michael, who drove all the way from Ohio to help us as well as Rhys, who flew in from Ireland! With the wormshoe finished we move on to milling the lumber we took down this past winter to finish out our supply to build Arabella.
James from the J-Team (http://www.jteamsawmill.com) came with his beast of a mill and we banged the job out in 2 days! Give him a shout if you are looking for someone to mill your lumber.
Finally, check out Rhys’ channel as well. Rhys is fixing up a steel boat in Cork, Ireland and doing a bang up job. He is one hell of nice guy and a hard worker to boot. Sure you’ll enjoy watching his channel as well. https://www.youtube.com/user/rhyswalters1

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.
