Half Laps and Mast Blocking – Episode 147 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
We are on the last steps of putting together the sill for the house top and the blocking for the mizzen mast. Alix needs to cut the half laps in the corners of the sill to get them to fit just right. Once that is done, we can paint them and screw them in place. Steve on the other hand, is install...
Salt & Tar: Ep.124- The Main Boom (and a Channel Crossover)
Building our Main Boom gets interrupted by "Onboard Lifestyle"'s SV Basik. We talk butterfly hatch with David, a new volunteer, and Gove finishes our galley counter tile. Michael keeps plugging away at our ratlines. We mount our jaws to the main boom and 8-side the beam. Soon, we'...

The Aft Hatch – Episode 146 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
The deck framing is almost complete on Arabella. In this episode, Steve wraps up all the framing in the aft section by making a couple more deck beams and then framing in the hatch. This hatch will provide some storage but also some ventilation to the engine compartment. Meanwhile, Alix diligently ...
Salt & Tar: Ep.123- Getting Higher
Splicing, head injuries, and tile. I heal up just fine while I edit and Garrrett works on the rudder cheeks and Gove lays down the beautiful Mexican tile in the galley. It's been so wonderful having multiple projects come together at once. Thanks again to Gove & Michael for all their help a...
Framing Work in the Stern – Episode 145 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
We working on wrapping up the last of the deck framing before we can get to a house top mockup.

Salt & Tar: Ep.122- Ratlines!
A huge round of applause to Gove and Michael! They’ve helped continue the stoke onboard Rediviva by tiling the galley counter and building the ratlines. Making her into not only a quaint live aboard but also a little ship. Thanks for watching everyone! ~Ruthie Rigger’s Apprentice Book- “The Compl...
Installing the Lodging Knees – Episode 144 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
We are nearing the end of the knees! It's amazing the difference that can be seen as these all start to go in. Not only to the rigidity of the structure but also at how the space seems so much different inside. Knees keep the hull from wracking while sailing. They tie many parts of the struc...

Making and Fitting Lodging Knees – Episode 143 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Knees and blocking are what keep the deck of the boat from racking or moving in unwanted ways. Ours are made from the stumps we dug out of the ground around this time last year. It's amazing to see the final product from those rough pieces or material to what they are becoming now. A great w...

Starting to fair the deck structure – Episode 142 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Now that we have installed the short beams around the deckhouse opening, it's time to start fairing that out. These beams have all been milled a bit oversized for this purpose. This means we start by fairing the ends of the short beams down to the carlin to prepare for the sill plate and then...
Salt & Tar: Ep 119- Our First Volunteers
Thanks to our followers we are taking final measurements for our sails and welcome our first volunteers. Josh & Alexis are amazing people. They ended up staying 10 days as Josh was determined to hear that motor roar! We can’t thank them enough for not only volunteering their time but also their ...

White Oak Rootstock Knees – Episode 141 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Last year, at about this time of year as well, some blood, sweat and maybe tears were shed in retrieving some large White Oak rootstock from the woods and painstakingly carving out some knees from them. This was a miserable yet rewarding experience that is now paying dividends. Steve is finally get...
Salt & Tar: Ep.118- Rigging the Bow
Sit back, relax, and enjoy that this is not your boat project ;) All is well aboard Rediviva yet when you’re ready to go full speed ahead but your planning and supplies are not… well, it takes longer. We still press forward, with our humor in tact and the anticipation of our first volunteers! Hopefu...
Carlin Joints and Lodging Knees – Episode 140 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
There is a lot of time consuming but rewarding work in boat building. Cutting carlin joints to instal short beams is a good task to show how much time some of the jobs can take. Each side of Arabella's cabin had 11 short beams to be installed (after having already installed the midship ones wi...
Salt & Tar: Ep.117- A Jack Tar’s View
A Jack Tar is what they used to call the sailor that was entrusted with slushing/taring the rigging. It was a messy job. It would be a crazy task when there’s miles of rope to cover on hundred foot or more tall masts. Garrett’s “nice” jeans are now his jack tar jeans… Thanks for watching! ~Ruthie ...
Installing the midship lodging knees – Episode 139 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Alix continues work on Arabella with making and installing the lodging knees at midship. These, along with the rigidity of the housetop, will help keep the deck structure from racking. We also get to see the end of Steve and Robin's vacation adventure as they wander some more in the Organ Moun...

Salt & Tar: Ep.114- Installing the Main Chainplates
We’re recovering from last week and get to a project we know we can complete; the main chainplates! It was fun working on a straight forward project. Much of the work was already done and all that was left was to secure them to the hull. So much thinking and debating goes on, on and off screen, it c...
