Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 106: Stealers and Planking Crew
As many of you may have deduced, our planned planking party did not go as planned at all. This was for many reasons but mainly due to the outbreak of COVID19 right as people were on their way here. We had planned to take three weeks and get this great crew together and finish planking Arabella. R...
A2A – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 105: A Visit From Louis Sauzedde (Tips From a Shipwright)
One of the things we appreciate so much about boatbuilding is that there are so many different ways to do things and so many things to learn. We have worked really hard to teach ourselves what we need to know in order to build Arabella. From studying in books, haunting the Wooden Boat forum and ev...
A2A – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 101: Pairing an 1800s Thicknesser and a Chrysler Flathead 6
Sometimes, pairing vintage machines, is just cool! When we got the 27 inch thicknesser from Ganon and Benjamin a couple months ago, we knew we were going to have to figure out how to pair it with a bomber power source. In the end, everything came together beautifully! We couldn't use the thr...

Part 2 of our recap video! We have gone through so much since the last recap video that we couldn't fit it all into one episode. From figuring out how to build bronze floor timbers, to saying goodbye to Victoria. A new engine to making sawn frames. And finally, starting to plank. It has be...
Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Bonus Content: Acorn to Arabella 2020 Recap – Part 1
Progress is being made on Arabella every day, but that last time we checked in on what we have done up to now was about two and a half years ago. We felt that a recap of the last couple of years, to see all the work that has been done, would be a really fun trip down memory lane while we get ready ...
Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 96: What Are Grown Knees For?
We've been busting stump to get the knees freed but that doesn't mean the battle is over. We still have many more to go and once they are freed, they still need to be sized and thicknessed. The good news is, we only need to rough them out right now so that they are an appropriate size an...
Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 95: Harvesting White Oak Knees
Harvesting knees for Arabella turned out to be MUCH more work than we ever thought it would be. In the last episode we gathered a couple of stumps but we still needed a little more and then it was time to tackle the job of cleaning them... not to mention freeing them from the clump of wood, dirt an...
Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 94: Gathering Oak Rootstock
Welcome back and Happy New Year! We've been working on Arabella for four years now. We cut the first tree in January of 2016 and it has been a wild ride since then! There have been plenty of challenges along the way. We look forward to solving these challenges every time but it also takes a ...
Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 93: A Little Bit Behind the Scenes
We have been working on sending tools down to SAILCARGO for a while now and we finally are getting to the point of actually shipping things! With everything we gathered, we had to figure out how to get it down there and not lose anything in the process... so, we built crates to keep everything toge...
