There is a lot of time consuming but rewarding work in boat building. Cutting carlin joints to instal short beams is a good task to show how much time some of the jobs can take. Each side of Arabella's cabin had 11 short beams to be installed (after having already installed the midship ones with the knees). This meant 22 joints to cut into the carlins and 22 short beams to fit into them.
Next we had the lodging knees which need to fit tightly against the deck beam on one side and the short beam on the other. With that all done, it's time to sand it all smooth, seal them and varnish them before instal. Again, rewarding, but time consuming!

Thank you all for watching and supporting!

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.
