Bringing Home the Fiberglass – Episode 189 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
The finishing touches go onto the shower pan, which gets a drain installed, and the anchor locker, which gets an outlet for gunk that might make its way via the anchor chain. Two-part epoxy paint serves as yet another waterproof barrier for these pieces, which will live their lives largely in places...

Three Fiberglass Projects – Episode 188 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
The usefulness of fiberglass, when applied in the right places, makes the proper application of it an important skill.

The Chart Table – Episode 187 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
It seems like we start something, get it to a point, then move on to the next thing... and that's completely on purpose. We'll be able to know where we want our electronics and systems aboard the boat, and still be able to run the wiring and hoses for them. The furniture's dimensions ...
Salt & Tar: Ep.165- Cushions!
Our first look at the cushions inside the boat! We are half way through making all the cushions. I love the striped fabric for the dinette and the light color fabric we chose for the quarter bunks. Having two different fabrics kind of helps separate the boat at make it feel bigger. We're not go...
A Grizzly in the Boathouse – Episode 186 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Steve is the 5th generation of his family to live at Pinetum Farm, and many of his tools are lovely hand-me-downs, but some are workhorses he bought at the start of the project for as much bang as he could get for the buck. Unfortunately, the Delta thickness planer has been complaining loudly lately...
Salt & Tar: Ep.164- Learning to Sew
We have so many to thank for helping us with materials for this project! It took, of course, longer than I thought to get the hang of it but mostly that was just finding the right head space.
