Salt & Tar: Ep.170- Ocean Medicine

Bringing Home the Fiberglass – Episode 189 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
The finishing touches go onto the shower pan, which gets a drain installed, and the anchor locker, which gets an outlet for gunk that might make its way via the anchor chain. Two-part epoxy paint serves as yet another waterproof barrier for these pieces, w...

Salt & Tar: Ep.165- Cushions!
Our first look at the cushions inside the boat! We are half way through making all the cushions. I love the striped fabric for the dinette and the light color fabric we chose for the quarter bunks. Having two different fabrics kind of helps separate the bo...

Salt & Tar: Ep.164- Learning to Sew
