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...

Installing the Oak Shutter Planks – Episode 166 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
It's a big moment here in the Acorn to Arabella boathouse. We have been steadily working on closing up the hull and now the oak shutters are going in. After these are installed, we will only have six more planks to go. Two cedar strakes will lead up to the final black locust sheer strakes. Rig...

Wrapping Up the Mizzen Mast – Episode 165 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
The mizzen mast has been tandem project as the planking has progressed. Alix chipped away at it between other important tasks, and now it's finally finished! Of course, the hounds and hardware need to be installed, but this big, beautiful, repurposed piece of Victoria's past and Arabella&#...
Salt & Tar: Ep.142- Sliding Galley Doors
A window into a typical day for us. Garrett's Dad was visiting, one of Swab's favorite humans, and he and Swab contemplated life and the meaning of it all while casting a line. Garrett messed around with a few projects. The spigot replacement was a success and we can finally permanently cl...
Closing in on the Shutter Planks – Episode 164 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
The gaps in Arabella's planking are getting much smaller... and soon they will be no more. We are pushing hard to close up the hull with Carolyn's help before she moves on. The shutter planks are a pretty exciting part of the build. There are only two of them, and they need to be perfec...

Mizzen Mast: Shaping Below Deck – Episode 163 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
The planking work is moving right along, but unfortunately Jack and Wes have to head home.

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 to teach me. I feel like I’m at a place where I can star...
They’re Back! – Episode 162 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Jack and Wes are back to do more work on Arabella. Wes's earlier visits involved stacking lumber and bending frames. Now he's back for a taste of planking and we hope he returns to help out with the interior. Jack was a part of our planking crew last year, specifically helping with some of...

With a Little Help From Our Friends—Episode 161—Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
We're back to planking! We've asked some of our skilled friends to come back and help us get closer to closing up Arabella's hull. We have eight oak planks, a couple of cedar planks, and the black locust sheer strakes remaining for installation. After the remainder of the oak planks a...

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 accommodate the slip of the router in ...

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 fit in a hooked scarf. Alix shows ...
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 to move on to the next thing. He discussed in...

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! Originally, we were going to use dead eyes for our mizzen shrouds (and may still in the future) but are taking inspiration from a boat we've looked up to for years and rigging...
