In the past, we've had a look in the garage at the piles, en masse, of the mahogany lumber that came out of Victoria, but this week's video goes through a pretty extensive and specific inventory of what we have to play with for reclaimed wood as we put the interior together. Carolyn patte...

House Top Interior, Fairing and Painting—Episode 172—Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
A big part of strip-built construction isn't the glue-up itself, which is a satisfyingly quick process, but is the fairing and finishing process that comes after. Steve and volunteer Grant (thanks again, Grant!) fill large imperfections and voids in the seams of the glued strips with structural...

Cedar Strip House Top, Gluing Up – Episode 171 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
The mock-up, and now mold, for the cabin house is finally put to work as the cedar strip-planked house comes together. Building this crucial part of the boat with this method has many reasons, chief among them being that strip-planking is extremely strong and waterproof, and that we don't have ...
BARGE BUILD. Barge, Crane, No Truck! What are we going to do now? Sailing Ocean Fox Ep 173
#truckdriver #whatanightmare #boatproblems We finally get to collect Ocean Fox 2 from the farm by Bath. However this does not go according to plan when the truck driver left the site. Unbelievable, he came and left just like that. Grumpy as anything with no reason! Simon called him 10 times to pers...
Finishing the Port Side Planking – Episode 170 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
The last plank... for now, anyway. This episode doesn't feature the whiskey plank, and Steve does a very good explanation for those who have been asking about the difference between a shutter plank and a whiskey plank. We've got four shutters, and like all boats, one whiskey, which is stil...

Arabella Gets a Makeover – Episode 169 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
As we've been finishing the rest of the planking on the port side, we have had groups of helpers lend a hand to clean up Arabella's interior. Most recently, David and his son, Grant, card-scraped the interior and applied Danish Teak Sealer to planks and frames. Boy, what a difference this ...

Port Side Sheer Strake – Episode 168 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat

Bracing for the Sheer Plank – Episode 167 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Getting the nib-ends of these full-length planks fitted into the rabbet fore and aft is one of the hardest tasks of planking Arabella. Since we don't have any wiggle room to move fore or aft, the cuts need to be dead-on for the planks to sit correctly. Additionally, since shutter planks are san...
