Description: Don't worry, electrical geeks and systems nerds, there's still plenty to do on the wiring front. We have to put that on pause a bit until we know what the clearance is around the finished water tanks. Until then, let's keep screaming along on the interior. This week, a couple of lockers take shape, a good portion of sole is laid, and a platform for the fridge to sit on is built. We don't grow teak and holly here in Granby, Massachusetts, where Arabella is being built, but we sure do have a bunch of mahogany (from Victoria) and cherry (felled here in Granby). Steve glues up strips of wood that will have the same effect as the beautiful and traditional contrasting surfaces found in a lot of boat soles and fancy runabout foredecks. We hope you enjoyed the three videos last weekend: an episode and two bonuses came out. If you missed those, just check out the channel page. We've also made it possible to join Patreon and pay for a year's membership with just one, rather than a recurring, payment.

Steve and Alix started as amateur boat builders building a 38' wooden boat in Steve's 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are interested in supporting/helping here are a few ways: acorntoarabella.com/how-to-help Acorn to Arabella's wishlist: acorntoarabella.com/wishlistpriority Jamestown Distributors Referral: If you are going to shop at Jamestown Distributors, please consider using our Total Boat referral code: totalboat.refr.cc/steveandalixa?t=tg To offer recurring support via Patreon: patreon.com/acorntoarabella Original Soundtrack available at benfundis.bandcamp.com FOLLOW US: Patreon: patreon.com/acorntoarabella Instagram: instagram.com/acorntoarabella Facebook: facebook.com/acorntoarabella Website: acorntoarabella.com
