Well, everyone's been wondering about swelling the planks, and here's the big reveal and most effective way we've found to do it. STEAM. Yup, we steam this whole wooden boat for about a week, stoking the fire each day in preparation for the torture boarding.

Satchel makes progress on the 12-volt marine electrical system. We test the fresh water tanks that are fed by the watermaker, and Kyle, who is doing all things fluid-related, explains a few things about the boat plumbing. Steve talks more about the base for the main sheet traveler, which when rigged, will be where the main sail is controlled from. Scott's beautiful cherry wood grab rails give a finished look to the saloon. More holes are sawn into the deck, this time for dorade vents and anchor chain inlets from the anchor windlass.

Acorn to Arabella is a wooden boat building project taking place in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve started as an amateur wooden boat builder building 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 beyond—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that classic wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY boatbuilding project will continue well past launch, when he and the crew will 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.
