In this episode, a lot of different things come closer to completion. Pads for handrails and hatch coamings go onto the house top, then primer coats of paint are applied. Larry Kindberg from Accutech Marine Propeller brings the Variprop feathering propeller to the shop. We get to fiberglassing the cockpit, which will be dropped in eventually. Bob Emser sent us a full-size footprint and side-to profile of Victoria the Tender so we can see how it fits on the coach roof. Be a fly on the wall for Aaron’s smart questions—a lot of our future plans for the house top are addressed.

Acorn to Arabella is a wooden boat building project taking place in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve started as an amateur wooden boat builder building a 38′ wooden sailboat in his 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 classic wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY boatbuilding project will continue well past launch, when he and the crew will travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they’ve built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva.
