Salt & Tar: Ep.140- Rounding a Corner
Ruth gets behind the power tools. Thanks to Noé, our volunteer, he can take the time to learn me a thing or two. So much of the build has been REALLY important that I’ve not wanted to “mess” it up and Garrett’s been so busy I haven’t asked him t...
They’re Back! – Episode 162 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat

Putting Taper in the Mast – Episode 160 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Lots going on here at the boathouse. It's time to put the taper in the top of the mast. Turns out there's a little bit more to that than just doing a straight taper. We'll be talking about a certain kind of taper as well as figuring out how to accommoda...

Hooked Scarf Joints and Bilge Stringers – Episode 159 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Bilge stringers (which we also call bilge bands) add longitudinal stiffness to Arabella in an area of the boat where it's needed. Carolyn, who's been working on fitting the stringers into the boat, gives us a good look at how she sneaks up on a very smart ...
Salt & Tar: Ep.136- Got Sole?
Noë has joined us for 2 weeks from Pennsylvania. He worked all 14 days, even when we were ready for a break he motivated us to push. I, personally learned so much from him as he could take the time to explain things to me whereas Garrett is always rushed ...

Salt & Tar: Ep.135- Inspired by Norwegian Rescue Boats
Colin Archer designed Norwegian Rescue Boats are a thing of beauty. The oldest, built in 1893, is still sailing today! https://www.colinarcher.no/ Originally, we were going to use dead eyes for our mizzen shrouds (and may still in the future) but are takin...
Fairing the Mizzen Mast – Episode 157 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
There is a lot of work going into restoring Victoria's old mast to be our mizzen mast. We already set up a sort of lathe and jig to cut kerfs into the mast so that we can then bring it down to a six inch diameter. To do that, I used a combination of a po...

Salt & Tar: Ep.134- Weekend Special
Our only surprise was how quick our prop's zinc disappeared. It's been a year and a half since our last haul out but it seems like it's still too soon to have burned through that donut zinc. This most likely means we'll be adding a grounding plate of some ...
Homemade Oak Plywood – Episode 156 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat

Salt & Tar: Ep.133- Routine Haul Out #1
We're weirdos and actually really enjoyed our haul out. It's a great challenge, being a wooden boat, to do it as fast as we can so Rediviva doesn't dry out too much. It felt really good to be back in the swing of serious boat work. Long days felt really go...
Repurposing Victoria’s Mast – Episode 155 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Getting Victoria early in the project was one of the best decisions we have made. There was so much good material packed in that little vessel, and it seems like she just keeps giving every day. From all the beautiful mahogany in her interior, to the bron...
