Oars for Victoria and Going Home - Episode 287 - Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat

TONIGHT! Live from the Boat! See the woodstove running, visit with us on Arabella. 5 p.m. ET for Patreon members:   / acorntoarabella   Join now and get the invite!

We start with hot springs and Robin's birthday and then move on to Bob Emser's shop in Illinois (The Art of Boat Building), receiving some much-anticipated and beautiful pieces for Victoria the dinghy and getting a look at parts of his Haven 12 1/2 named Skylark. His channel and the things he makes are helpful and lovely. If you haven't checked out his tool making videos, boatbuilding videos, or the series he did about our dinghy, it's time. ‪@TheArtofBoatBuilding‬

And finally, back to our DIY wooden boat that's been waiting patiently in Camden, Maine for our return. We're so glad to have you with us. Thanks for watching.

Acorn to Arabella started as a wooden boat building project in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve began the journey as an amateur wooden boat builder crafting a 38' wooden sailboat in his backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and now sailing the boat—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that traditional wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project continues beyond the boat shop, as Steve and crew travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva.
