Live From the Boat Shed 5—Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Live Q&A Session we held on Friday, April 16 from Arabella’s boat shed in Granby, MA. We also talked about the important changes coming to Patreon as of May 1. Read more about that here: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/patreon-help-page ------------...
There’s a New Shipwright in Town! – Episode 158 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
We are looking ahead to getting back to planking Arabella this summer. In order to do that, we are going to want all hands on deck, so we got a little help coming in. The first of the crew has arrived and she will be helping us for the next month or more...
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...
Homemade Oak Plywood – Episode 156 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
We're starting on the interior! At least starting with the pieces of the interior. Steve is milling up the stock that is going to become the bilge bands. These will get installed soon, when we get a new crew in to finish the planking. In the meantime, ...
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...
The Mizzen Mast Step – Episode 154 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
With the main mast step finished, it's time to make the mizzen mast step. This one is significantly smaller as it will hold a significantly smaller mast and take less of a load. It feels like we're installing a sculpture as integral part of the boat! It's...
Victoria’s Mast – Episode 153 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
The bronze floors are done! It's a great feeling complete them and be able to move on to even more tasks that get us closer to launch. Steve keeps on with fitting the main's mast step, and Alix gets to work on figuring out the reuse of Victoria's spars. Yo...
Mast Step and Alignment – Episode 152 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
With wrapping up the bronze floors comes working on the mast step. This wild looking piece is built up out of live oak and black locust and looks more like a sculpture than a structural element in the boat! We also check alignment on Arabella to see if ev...
Last Bronze Floors and a Mast Step – Episode 151 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
We finally get to finish up the work on the bronze floors. We had about six sets of frames that needed to go in once we removed the molds. These last sets all needed bronze floors made up for them as we couldn't make those on our first go around. That m...
Clean Bilge! – Episode 150 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Building a boat can seem like an incredibly daunting task. One thing that has gotten us through these years is seeing it a lot of little things that need to be done and pieces that need to go together. This episode is very much dedicated to that ideology...
Cockpit Mockup – Episode 149 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
There are a lot of exciting things coming together at the moment. Steve installed the rest of the tie rods, Alix finished the sill for the deckhouse to sit on and we made a mockup of the cockpit! One task completely finished, one setting us up for the de...
Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 86: Boring!
Need to drill a big hole?... BORING! That's right, we are final to the point of boring out the stern post for our prop shaft. We were very much looking forward to this set up and seeing how this works. We put together a setup that included a long boring ...
Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 76: Pocketless Frame Installation
One of the great parts of boatbuilding (or maybe the hardest part about learning boatbuilding?!) is that there are many different ways to do things. And they are all correct! Steaming in Arabella's frames is a good example of this. All her framing so far...
Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 73: Fastening the Starboard Garboard
There is a fine art to planking a boat and we certainly are learning that by putting on Arabella's Garboard. This is one of the hardest planks to fit, but that just means it is a perfect test for us to learn the intricacies of planking. Arabella is going ...
