Arabella has 70 frames. That's a fair amount of steaming. So, we thought it would be interesting to show what a full day of steaming looks like. Not to mention, who can get tired of watching those timbers bend like that?

Acorn to Arabella is a boat building project taking place in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve and Alix started as amateur boat builders building their own 38' wooden boat in their 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 wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project will continue well past launch, when they will travel and learn to cruise aboard the boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva.

Alix, I was wondering where you were in this, and then realized you were making the video. And are the reason we were all on the edge of our seats! Felt like we were right there with you bending hot frames! Just fantastic work, both of you!
@AcornToArabella
@AcornToArabella 5 лет назад
Thanks! People often assume since Alix is not in the shots he is not working/helping. Thanks for realizing he is not in the shot because he is taking the shot! More time will have been spent shooting and editing than actually building by launch day. It's an insane amount of work to produce the videos.

Aviva must be the supervisor. Came out, barked orders and things got done! Great video and a great crew you have there. One of the beauties of wooden boat building is the amount of heat you generate while building-scraps for firewood, and mistakes or accidents disappear in the fireplace. Thank you guys and looking forward to another great year of building.

Full of admiration and respect for you guys. The perfect antidote to all the sensationalised Discovery shows we get force fed here in the UK. Overly dramatically jumping from one false jeopardy to another, while the craft involved takes a back seat. When I think of American craftsman at their best, I think of you guys. Love sharing the journey with you.

@billmccaffrey1977 5 лет назад
Love the project! Noticing how cold it is there, which will cool the frames very fast after coming out of the steamer. Another technique I have seen is steam the frames in place by creating a long bag that will hold the entire frame with slack. You pipe the steam directly into the bag and do the initial bending with the frame still in the bag. I know this is a lot slower, but something to think about if you run into a problem.
@AcornToArabella
@AcornToArabella 5 лет назад
They do cool faster in the colder weather! We have seen the bag method before, it's a great tool if you have to tweak a frame or two. Thanks for sharing!

@mayflowerlash11 5 лет назад
This is amazing!!! Watching about 8 blokes cooperatively working as a team to steam and fit timber to the frame. I can imagine if this was a commercial shipyard, of which there were many more in days past, there would be a foreman pushing hard to get the job done quicker, a boss watching in the background wishing the workers would do it faster and the labourer on the bottom tier trying to get it done without injuring himself. But here, these free men labour cooperatively, as a team, to get the timbers in. Their reward is their satisfaction in seeing the job complete and done right. There is hope for humanity yet. This endeavour is inspirational.
