Acorn to Arabella - Journey of a Wooden Boat - Episode 64: Setup for Bronze Floor Installation

The bronze floor timbers have been a lot of work but it is all paying off. We spend some time prepping everything so that we can finally get to installing these beauties in their places for good!
Each faying surface will need treatment before we can place the floors and bolt them down. We also need to figure out the angle for all the through bolts in the stem and stern that are going to hold the floors in those areas. We use a couple tricks to do this and get things to fit, including the use of some fire!

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.
