Finally Back to Woodworking! – Episode 195 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Don't worry, electrical geeks and systems nerds, there's still plenty to do on the wiring front. We have to put that on pause a bit until we know what the clearance is around the finished water tanks. Until then, let's keep screaming along on the interior. This week, a couple of locke...

What a payoff! Layers and layers of all sorts of foam, 'glass, epoxy, and fairing compound have come to this big reveal of how this refrigerated chest will look when it goes into the boat—covered in contrasting cherry wood. Before then, though, it did seem like perhaps our experiment might have...
Norna Needs a Captain – Episode 192 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
After all the fiberglass, foam, and fairing compound from the last few weeks, we get to the pretty stuff for the custom refrigerator (oh heck maybe with a bit more of all of that, too): the drop-in lids are topped with cherry and cherry burl, and they're made to be snugly dropped into a larger ...
Sealing Up the Fridge – Episode 191 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
There are a lot of steps to each of the things we do on Arabella, especially in the interior, and between those multiple paint coats drying, that epoxy curing, and intense reading about 12 V DC electrical systems, there's plenty to do around and about to prepare for winter. Last week we re-cove...

Bringing Home the Fiberglass – Episode 189 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat

A Grizzly in the Boathouse – Episode 186 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Steve is the 5th generation of his family to live at Pinetum Farm, and many of his tools are lovely hand-me-downs, but some are workhorses he bought at the start of the project for as much bang as he could get for the buck.
