Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 83: Riveting Test and Prop Shaft Assembly
Sometimes, boatbuilding is all about big showy pieces coming together. But much of the time it is also working with small details.

We are getting farther up the hull with the planking and as we do so, we are nearing the point at the stern where the propeller shaft will go through.
