What to Expect When Visiting Acorn to Arabella
We're glad you're stopping by! Please follow all the signs, and very importantly, please approach quietly, silence your phone (including camera noises) and don't disturb work if Steve or other crew are focused and unable to visit with you. To see all the guidelines, please visit this ...
Fitting the Saloon / Salon Berth – Episode 178 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
For visitor information and to watch the video Ben mentions in the intro, visit this page: We say saloon, some say salon... we say lapstrake, some say clinker... we're not calling the whole thing off. Boat terminology can vary from region to region, sometimes by such a slight difference that ...
Salt & Tar: Ep.155- Mainsail is Here!
We unveil the mainsail! Mike did such an amazing job and I’m putting together a tip for him if you’d like to donate you can go here: and just make sure to write a note telling me that’s where you’d like it to go. I know this year has been extremely hard for so many and we just want to spread the lo...
Installing the Forward Berth – Episode 177 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
This video ends with Carolyn's excitement to sit on the frame she built for one of the saloon setees and we'll get a glimpse of Steve laying down on his future berth thanks to all the work shown in this week's episode. A water tank will go inside the space that Carolyn is fitting wi...
Salt & Tar: Ep.154- The Boat’s Never Looked This Good (and Sail news!)
Stay tuned to the end for an update on our sails! We work on the design of the aft cleats for Rediviva as well as oiling some of the wood trim we've been installing on the interior. Thanks for watching everyone! ~Ruthie p.s. if you’re near the SF Bay Area and would like to volunteer you can r...
The Pleasures of Square Carpentry – Episode 176 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Buttoning up the forward bulkhead with coats of sealer and varnish makes way for some interior joinery in the forepeak that Steve has plenty of experience producing. Tools that have long sat dormant in the shop are whizzed back into life to create square mortise and tenon joints. We were hoping th...
Salt & Tar: Ep.153- AuGUST of Wind
I knew I'd be shooting myself in the foot by saying we'd be leaving the dock in August. Or have I? Mike, our sailmaker, is doing everything he can to finish our sails but with the current state of the world being what it is some things are beyond our control. This means we won't be se...
Bonus: The Satisfying Process of Sealing Wood (ASMR) – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
We’ll see you Friday for a regular episode, but we’ve had a lot of requests for less speaking, and for perhaps something with a calm pace. We won’t be changing how we’re documenting progress on Arabella, but we wanted to release a bonus video showing one particular process from beginning to end. So...
100-Year-Old Mahogany Trim – Episode 175 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
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...
Salt & Tar: Ep.152- Butterfly Hatch
David is so wonderful for doing this project for us. It lets in so much light and air and it’s basically done… Sorry for the wind noise in this one my mic broke but the show must go on. Our buddy Hoffa was here to help or distract Garrett I'm not sure which but we had a good time tackling the f...
The Floor Plan, Bonus Video – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
A big reveal here: We have a close look, side by side, of Steve's plan for Arabella's interior laid alongside Atkins's fairly general layout he envisioned would fit the needs of most cruisers about a hundred years ago. This conversation between Steve and Satchel, our marine architect ...
Pitching the Bilge – Episode 174 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Short run of merchandise available at acorntoarabella.com today: We've got planking offcuts of various sizes, frame offcuts from that closed-up port side of the boat, rejected copper rivets, and challenge coins from @SV Seeker. (Doug's launching in a couple of weeks, hope you're follo...
Salt & Tar: Ep.151- Herringbone Table
I knew I wanted the old redwood in the herringbone pattern for the tabletop I just had to convince Garrett. Redwood's soft but the stuff we have from my parents' old hot tub is pretty hard and with an epoxy coat on top, it's perfect for the dinette table. We also install the companion...
The First Bulkhead – Episode 173 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
The pesky, dangerous maple that serves as an anchor for the boathouse comes down in this episode, and Steve (who has worked in the past as an arborist, and of course, felled the trees for the lumber in Arabella) goes through a couple of specifics about how to safely drop large limbs from a tree, mak...
Salt & Tar: Ep.150- Companion Way Stairs!
Thanks for watching everyone! ~Ruthie p.s. if you’re near the SF Bay Area and would like to volunteer you can reach us here: [email protected]. Let us know your experience and what you’re comfortable doing. We’ll get back to you as soon as we can. A huge thank you to all that have already re...
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...
Salt & Tar: Ep.149- First Fuel Up & Rescue Mission
What an awesome test for the engine! No one was hurt, nothing broke, just great execution from the boat. I'm so happy because I urged Garrett to take the boat out for weeks and finally he was down to take the boat out under her own power even though we didn't have the dinghy. It was more o...
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 ...
Salt & Tar: Ep.148- Insulating the Engine Box
Thanks for watching everyone! ~Ruthie p.s. if you’re near the SF Bay Area and would like to volunteer you can reach us here: [email protected]. Let us know your experience and what you’re comfortable doing. We’ll get back to you as soon as we can. A huge thank you to all that have already re...
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...
Salt & Tar: Ep.147- Trim and Treats
Home sweet home. The interior is coming together and thanks to Jack's help a few extra treats are added. Light inside our hatches, a charging station at the table for editing, AND he says I'll even be able to have a blow dryer! Thanks for watching everyone! ~Ruthie p.s. if you’re near t...
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 ...
