Description: For information about our May 7&8 Open House (our final one!) visit: acorntoarabella.com/visitor-welcome Evan at MS Fabrication in Dorchester, Massachusetts finished an important stainless steel surround that serves as the home for the galley stove. That means that in this week's video, in goes the three-burner, propane, Dickinson Mediterranean marine cookstove. But first, some problem solving. After realizing that there would 1 1/4"-worth of extra space alongside the gimballed stove, Steve and KP brainstormed about how that seemingly small slot might make a smart storage solution as a magnetic knife block and for cookie sheet stowage. Then we discuss the Nanni marine diesel installation with a seasoned mechanic well versed in the art of setting up remote and easy-to-reach and easy-to-inspect filters, dipsticks, and expansion tanks. We're thankful for Fred from Hansen Marine—cheers for his time and talent! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sign up for our email newsletter: eepurl.com/hn3Qyv Acorn to Arabella is a boat 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 boats command. This ultimate DIY 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
