Covering boards are coming closer to their final shape. Decision time again! The toe rail, covering boards, and stanchion bases all have shapes that affect each other, meaning that we'll have to rely on Steve's depth of knowledge in bronze fabrication for custom stanchion bases-the ones salvaged from a decommissioned wooden sailboat won't work out.
We load up Bob Emser's trailer, a big display of lumber organization indeed, so he can get started with building our wooden dinghy. Be sure to subscribe to The Art of Boatbuilding to follow what happens with "Little" Victoria. / theartofboatbuilding

Acorn to Arabella is a wooden sailboat building project taking place in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve started as an amateur boat builder building a 38' wooden boat 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 wooden boatbuilding commands. This ultimate DIY wooden boat project will continue well past launch, when he and the crew 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.

What a great way to spend a Friday evening. Seeing Bob pick up materials for the new Victoria tender, KP and Steve getting the covering boards further along, Aaron getting to be involved in a project that will rarely be available to people at his age and Robin and her daughter Lucy getting some time in on the project. What a great bunch of people. Having worked on a farm as a teenager, Steve's granddad's story at the end brought back a lot of memories. Thank you all.

@thomasarussellsr 2 года назад

Agreed. Every instrument has an important part to play. Clean up can be just as important as shaping a piece of wood or metal. A stray spark can find a pile of shavings or saw dust and the whole thing is done. An oil soaked rag can spontaneously combust and the same outcome. Every player in this orchestra is responsible for their share of clean up and keeping their eyes open to hazards. Even Akiva has his part to play, keeping rodents out of the shop so they don't chew cords that can result in fires or electrical shocks, or heaven forbid, holes in the boat. Whether it is blasting parts in the cabinet, or running for a part or tool, even Aaron is helping out significantly. Everything he does saves from someone else having to come off another task and he is learning trade bits that will help him later in life too. I know helping my grandfather's and dad as a kid made me a harder more productive worker than the others around me who would rather milk the clock if something made the line shut down when I worked factories. When possible, I would unload my own truck as a truck driver instead of waiting an hour or two for an available lumper on a busy dock while other truckers would wait 3 or more hours and gripe about the wait time then miss the next load opportunity. I never understood sitting on one's bum waiting for someone else to do something I could do myself, or paying someone else to do something I could do myself with minimal research and save the money to do something more for my family. I applaud Steve's work ethic and re-use of materials when and where possible and fixing things instead of replacing things with new machines where possible, just like his grandpa. That's what I learned from my grandparents too.

@jaydubya4727 2 года назад

I'm eager to follow along with Bob's construction of the tender. This is going to be great! Neat to see Robin again and first time I have seen her daughter, hope we see them a bit more downstream.

@kathywrightjohnson6804 2 года назад

I love that silly giddy look on Bob's face looking at that wood! That old bailer is awesome. It's amazing how much engineering goes into something like that and I find that farmers have a whole lot of craftiness and engineering skills and they can fix almost anything. My uncle Mick was a brilliant man and he passed those skills on to his kids and grandkids. You can see where your granddad has passed on that set of skills into you. And it's so sweet that you are teaching young Aaron those skills. He is absorbing everything he can from you and that is fantastic. Happy Friday everyone!

@thomasarussellsr 2 года назад

Nothing wrong with keeping that "McGiver" spirit alive. That's what built America, for real. Heck, the Colonel's Hummer broke down in the field one time in the Army and he wanted to be able to have his driver start and stop it. The starter switch went out and we didn't have an extra on hand. So, I rewired the starter circuit to the headlight switch (different than civilian cars), then on the switch for run, and bump the high beam switch for start. Of course turn off the lights to kill the engine. I put the low beams on the black out lights and an external switch for for the blackout lights. I ran into his driver again a couple of months later and the Colonel never had him get it fixed, he purposely had it kept that way as a theft prevention system so no one could just jump into his Hummer and take off with it. I guess he liked my modification.

@senecapirate1254 2 года назад

I just wanted to say you folks are doing amazing work there. I grew up on a farm of the foothills of Appalachia. I was blessed with great parents who introduced me to sailing at 3 years old with an old Rhodes 19, sailing on a lake with 1400 miles of shoreline. Long story short, I am retired now with a 100 ton Masters License Sail Endorsed, and 89 foot three masted gaff rigged schooner experienced. I find my wanderlust for the siren sea calling to me. But alas my comrad, I must live vicariously, through a younger,wiser individual. You young people are nothing short of miraculous. Please keep up your honorable work.

Great progress on the boat! This episode gave me the feels- that bailer!! lots of great memories of summers putting up hay with my uncles in WI. I remember the days of pull the bales off, but by the time I was getting involved, the farm had upgraded to a bailer that could throw the bales back. Easier going in, but sorting through the jumbled pile to send them up the hay elevator was a challenge. There is nothing quite like the smell of freshly baled alfalfa...

@dongalloway6888 2 года назад

Been watching you from the beginning... and love every moment... thinking that sitting here listening to Grandpa talk about the bailer brought back a ton of memories for me... I'm 65 now... on full disability, (100% Service Connected Disabled Vet)... but as a skinny little 100lbs soaking wet kid in the early 70's, I'd stay on my Uncle's farm during the summertime... in the heart of Amish country in Northern Indiana... Mom, and my Aunt used to be Amish, and still have family to this day that are 100% Amish, with Horse and buggies and all.... and yes!!! I've bailed hay the Amish way!!!! LOL... The Wisconsin Engine Grandpa talks about with the hand crank... yeah... been there done that... My biggest fear, ... every now and then that engine would start, and the hand crank would stay attached... spinning 100mph.... You'd duck and cover because ya never knew what direction it would fly off in... and fly off it would!!!! I still question how that skinny little kid could handle those bails, and load them 4-5 high on the wagon, we'd load up a couple wagon loads, take em to the barn and unload them... My first summer living with him, I got $75.00 for the summer... damn did I think I was rich... LOL...second summer $100.00 third summer $125.00 and should have been killed on a really stupid tractor accident!!! and left the farm... LOL... what I'd give to have that farm today!!! Y'all keep doing what you're doing, and for us old goats... throw in Grandpa doing farm work every now and then... Yeah... I know there's channels out there that do farming... but those have thousand's of acres and million's of dollars worth of equipment... just not the same...

We will probably round the corners, but we have so many other things to make that we probably won’t get extremely fussy about the way that they look.

17:07. When that steamed board goes down and you see it almost in its final resting place, you really feel how strong this boat will be. With the ribs cut down to size everything they do makes this boat look salty. I can completely see this boat chewing up rough seas and asking for more.

@AcornToArabella 2 года назад

Launching the boat requires that we have her exterior complete, but not necessarily some of the very minor details of rigging and interior layout. There are great many things that we would want to cruise with for a while before making final decisions. Perhaps most people think that by the time we launch she will be entirely finished with everything just so. That’s not the case.

If you made the upper portion of the toe rail brackets from thick wall bronze pipe, you can use them as the sockets for the stanchions. A notch on the outboard bottom edge of the tube would allow for drainage, and it would probably save quite a bit of machining... ⛵

@deeparks3112 2 года назад

That hay bailer brings back memories of blistering July days spent walking along behind one and bucking those fresh bales up onto a flat bed wagon with a pitchfork. The mule, Jude, pulling wagon, understood to advance then pause while we loaded the bales. Tennessee, early 1960's. Jude's real job was to team up with his sister mule, Jewels, and plow that old river bottom loam for planting.

Now I know where I've seen that bailer before. It took until the last scene. It made the everlasting gobstoppers in Willy Wonka's factory.

What a great name for a punk band, ladies and gentlemen, all the way from Kalamazoo Michigan, The Articulation Gesticulations.
