Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 92: Steaming Planks
In the last episode, we broke a plank. No big deal though, as with everything we've come up on in the project, the key is just finding a way forward. So we cut the broken end off of the plank and figured out a way to rig it so that we could steam the ends in and get them close to what they w...
Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 91: We Broke a Plank
Well... we broke a plank. No worries though. We got it fixed and back on the boat. That's how we roll here... with the punches and not against them. We got a lesson in how far you can push a plank to bend and from now on will know what we can and can't do in that instance. The are a o...
Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 90: Backhoes, Easy Bake Ovens and Bilge Bands
There is always a ton of stuff going on at the same time here.

Figuring out how to make tools to make the build easier ...
Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 89: Planking Our Boat

Salt & Tar: Episode 64-Which Project Goes First?
With so many projects hanging how do you choose which one to work on? Motivation, materials, weather, and timing all play a huge part in that decision. We've gotten so many things done in the 4 months we've been hauled out. We also have still so many to do! In real-time we are relaunching ...
Emily Builds a Sailboat – REDESIGN! – CLC Eastport Nesting Pram (Ep 4)
PROBLEMS SOLVED! Chesapeake Light Craft comes to the rescue! We have worked out the issues with starting with the wrong plans. We have worked out a design to make my boat able to do everything I want it to, including nesting, and a lot of ideas of our own. I've made great progress this wee...
Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 88: Setting our First Homemade Rivets!
We made our own 1/4 inch square copper rivets to hang Arabella's planks and we are now to the point where we actually get to use them! This is such an exciting time for us as we have planned and worked so hard to make these. We finally get to see the fruits of our labor in their final place. ...
Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 87: Epoxy Tests
After our glue failure on the scarf joints for the planks, we also had some glue failure on the graving pieces. This time though, it was with a new and good batch of Resorcinol. So, we were not quite sure what the problem was at first. We later realized that the clamping pressure was being lost du...
Salt & Tar: Episode 63-Busted Back and Metal Scrap
Garrett has had continuous back problems. Blame it on pour genes or the relentless work he puts his body through. He's learned the hard way that every once in a while he's got to take it easy! With a simple light task like shopping for materials for the boat and glueing just one piece of t...
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 bar with multiple different cutter atta...

We'd like your help! We've made some very good friends these past years via the project. A lot of which are doing some very cool things. At the last WoodenBoat Show at Mystic Seaport, we met up with a group of them and hatched a plan. Our friends at SAILCARGO have set up a ship yard in C...
Emily Builds a Sailboat – THE BOAT MUST GO ON! – CLC Eastport Nesting Pram (Ep 3)
THE BOAT MUST GO ON! Following last week's big mistake, we decide to move forward with the basic parts of the build until we have the proper plans. In this video, we review what changes need to be made. Then Emily begins the "glue" part of the stitch-and-glue method---applying epoxy ...
Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 85: Glue Failure
With a project like this, there are always going to be ups and downs. The key is trying to stay up beat and finding a way around the road bumps. We've been greatly slowed down this summer by the work of figuring out the prop shaft assembly which has required a lot of machining which we needed ...

Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 84: Lining Off and Diminishing Board
While we take a break from the prop shaft assembly to let Joe finish milling the Delrin liner and the other components, we get back to some planking.

Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 83: Riveting Test and Prop Shaft Assembly
Sometimes, boatbuilding is all about big showy pieces coming together. But much of the time it is also working with small details. This week, we focus on some of these details that we are going to have to figure out before we move on from the prop shaft assembly that is still coming together. Joe ...
Salt & Tar: Episode 61-Boatyard Summer
Thankfully this episode is only hours behind when I normally upload and not days. Garrett scrambled and hooked up one of our solar panels so I could keep working on this video during the odd power outage in Napa. The bowsprit is finished up to where we planned on getting it during this haul out as...
Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 82: Working on Prop Shaft Fittings
We are getting farther up the hull with the planking and as we do so, we are nearing the point at the stern where the propeller shaft will go through. We need to get this hole bored before we plank past it because we are going to need to be able to align our bore perfectly level (our shaft is level...
