It's surprisingly visible how much Alix enjoys woodworking: there's a certain way someone looks at something where they're applying their expertise to something they enjoy. I'm glad he's enjoying it!
TH-cam notifications: I noticed, several months ago, that ALL of my "notifications" were changed to "personalized" which means that you don't really get any notifications. This happened on many of the channels that I am subscribed to so I went through all 100 + channels and made sure that they were all reset to "All." Hope this helps the subscriber base. Thanks, Stephen, Alix and Ben, for this wonderful channel. You keep reminding me of my older brother, GOD Bless his soul and may he rest in peace, as he had been in the U.S. Navy and loved sailing. He would have appreciated your channel. Much love to all and my sincerest thanks and appreciation.
I just use the "subscriptions" tab on TH-cam, which lists only my subscriptions, in pretty much reverse chronological order. I consider real time notifications intrusive. But this way I don't miss anything if I check in once a day or so.
I am finally caught up with the project of yours. I pretty much binge watched the whole thing. Seeing you guys work so hard on the boat really sparked the love for wooden boats in me, thank you for doing that. Watching the whole process gave me a feeling that I now actually know something about boats, you guys really explain everything very good and detailed. It’s also awesome to see two friends with totally different skillsets come together and tackle such a big project and do it with flying colours. You guys are really awesome.
Man, it seems like it was just yesterday I watched you guys pouring lead in a wooden keel mold. Absolutely awesome work guys! Im so glad I have been able to follow your work!
The progress is speeding up! I got a genuine thrill of excitement when Alex said he is starting work on the rigging and Stephen is starting work on the interior. I remember when it was just a chunk of lead in the ground and even before. Yeh, I been here since the beginning. So happy for all you have accomplished and all that is to come. Cheers!
I absolutely love the quality of the videos now, with Ben doing the editing and both Steve and Alex doing a mix of filming and wood working👍👍👍 oh and Ben's music is a really good fit for the project. I'm honestly just blown away how awesome the channel has become since the start 👍👍❤ well done team
Hi Guys, thanks for the video update, great idea regarding the newsletter I have noticed that some , not all, of the notifications have been bit late but I have been receiving them looking forward to next friday, see ya!!
One must never, never Never rush The plumb bob Slow is the way The only way to go Clear your schedule Before you use the plumb bob Yes, the plumb bob Is mighty, mighty Mighty Slooooooooow
I started watching this channel because of Akiva (I'm a husky dad too) and have stayed because I enjoy making things (hobby machinist). I completely recognized that moment of "did I hear that right, dammit, what did you do now?"... Huskies do what huskies do. :D
I hope you know and realize what a fantastic project you are doing. You are gaining so many skills, technics, and knowledge. As you mentioned today. You didn't know what you didn't know until you come to that step. What a great experience to have at your age. Keep on keeping on.
Steve you dropped lucky with the the Mast Step !! Having done the cutting of where the step was to sit abroad the bronze structures and then to find you was able to drop the Shoulder Plane down into the rebate and just have a whisker or two to grab a hold of the Shoulder plane and actually use it....well that's what you call dropped perfect.. as always guy's 💯% 👍🇬🇧.
Thanks for thinking about us watchers, a newsletter is a great idea. It does not have to be anything fancy or long after all you have enough on your plate to do without worrying about that. The lack of YT notification is a real pain in the rear end, I used to watch nearly 200 channels, these days I watch maybe 30 if I am lucky. So it must hit your viewing figures and therefore your YT income. Everyone looses except YT I think, when all they had to do was put a button saying "don't want emails" then everyone would have been happy. Well that is life and I am old enough not to expect anything different. Thank you all once again, cant wait for the next episode.
For centerline and checking get a low price laser. For a few hundred, and along with using plumb bobs you’ll be able to use it even with later cabinet work. They get way more useful as you get the hang of using them and the many ways it helps without strings in the way.
1/8" inch off??!?! Tear it all down and do over!! ;-) Beautiful work there guys. Very much looking forward to seeing this planked up and fitted out. Please keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing so much of it with us.
Careful procession of superior craftsmanship can be verified with the most ancient of tools, a story stick, a plumb bob, and a level. I would sign off on this inspection. Beautiful work people!
I think this is just stunning. I think people make comparisons between you and the Tally Ho project. In reality very different ways to approach making something that floats on water using semi traditional tools and raw materials. Thanks so much for sharing your journey.
True story! Thanks for the kind words. Regarding comparisons: Not to mention the size difference, restoration vs. new build, very different approach to acquiring materials... and both are successful in what they set out to do. Glad we're able to document this stuff on TH-cam. There are many fantastic builders out there doing this who are too busy workin' to get videos out into the world. :)
You could gain some floor space by channel cutting the outboard side (closest side to the hull), of the floor planks to slip past the ribbing, and then angle cut the outboard side (closest to the hull), of the flooring to provide some space for ventilation and drainage into the bilge. You could gain as much as 4 to 6-inches of floor space on each side of the boat with this process.
I literally would not know it was Friday some weeks if not for you guys (and History Guy). Time has lost all meaning the past year. Can't wait for the interior and mast work. Been here since the led pour. Such a relaxing channel.
One thing I like to have in the video, if it doesn't create more work, are measurements and temperatures translate to metric system for us European folks thank you very much for all the content
A great Idea for the newsletter as I am in Melbourne Australia and watch the videos when I log into TH-cam which is always several hours or even the next day after you have posted a video and presently watching this video on Saturday 6th March at 13:00hrs and there are 44,734 views before I even get to see it.. hmmmm.....
I noticed the boat moving a couple of weeks ago while you were working on it. It might be time to reinforce or add to the supports. She's getting a bit big for the cradle. :)
I really enjoy following this work. I cannot make myself like the oval shape of the forward cabin portholes.

What about filling that large check in the Black Locust with epoxy? Also, are you planning on rounding over the right angles on the bronze tabs you just cut? Seems like it would relieve the possibility of stress fractures, plus just look cleaner and be safer. The project is looking great!
great idea on maybe widening the effective sole by a plank or two up the frames. I just did 1500 miles from RI to USVI basically 10 days at 15% heel (yup easterlies the whole way) and anything "level" would have been appreciated. Especially for standing/cooking in the galley, cool idea. 1/8" width variation amidships? Amazing.
Gotta love camber in a deck for that, too. Just a tad more level for walking on the windward side when heeling. Of course, it's mostly for shedding water, but a good camber set in a deck makes it safer to go forward. Congrats on what sounds like a super speedy passage! Catamaran?!
I am excited by your progress. I have a diesel mower I'm recommissioning and two other old Land Rover projects besides. I feel a sense of brotherhood coming back here each week seeing your progress. Thanks.
Each week is new and interesting, I am a woodworker also, wood turning cabinet and furniture making. I am always impressed to see your consistency and perseverance in tackling the opportunities that your project has presented.
I am puzzled as to why you mounted the mast step to the top of the bronze floors via slots in the wood as well as why you removed metal from the floors to provide clearance to the mast step when you could have put a rebate into the wood. This configuration appears to be weak to forward and aft loading and will cause additional fatigue stress to be focused on your welded joints. You both are really good at research and I am sure you have a reason for doing this and already have a solution in mind to mitigate this issue. Thanks for sharing.
Guys mounting your mast step directly on top of your bronze floors is going to apply a great deal of fore and aft pressure on the floors that they were not designed to take. The simple expedience of adding oval blocks as packers to the bottom of the mast step and pinning through into the keel would eliminate the effects of fore aft strains and continue to allow bilge water to flow in the correct direction. As an after thought you could weld bronze plate into the floors notches in sections or as one long piece connecting all four floors and drill and screw through into the mast step, this would resist fore and aft side to side and rotational forces whilst at the same time spread any loading more evenly through that section of the boat.
I think the reason the step interface block is knotched is so that no downward forces are transferred into the bronze floors, but the vertical forces are widely distributed into the keel. I'm not sure yet how the interface block is being fastened to the keel or how the mast will be captured into the interface block.
@@boooshes Mast step only slotted for central two floors, and appears to be in the position Steve intends it to be, without packing all forces no matter the direction will be transferring directly through the floors.
Are you going to put some more bronze strip on top of those vertical pieces? The pressure exerted in those thin sections pressing against the oak will dig in and cut into the step eventually.
thanks for uploading it's interesting to see and hear from both Steve and Alix, that in some ways y'all have made it through "the winter" of the project and seeing it out into the spring just as that's beginning to arrive. good luck, keep it up
Steve, a question I've had for a long time now: When planing over an edge, as you do with the mast step there (9:45), aren't you worried about "tearout" as the plane goes over the edge?
Great progress, and it’s good to hear Ben is getting into the woodworking end of the project. His interest probably shouldn’t be surprising since video editing and boat-building call for a similar approach: intelligent overall planning followed by systematic, scrupulous attention to the myriad details involved in either pursuit.
When do you plan to get back to finish the planking? It is really a great sight when looking down the length of the inside of the boat except for the missing planks. Good work getting all the bronze floors done. Spring and warmer weather can't come soon enough!!!
geez, i dont know how you do it, i feel like id be spending the most of the time checking measurements rather than making the cuts and drilling the holes, amazing
@1:44....why would you encounter a "strong downward force" over and above the normal mast loading from the weight of the sail and ropes and fitments? Wind gusts might be the assumption, but would that have a downward vector component?
Hi, a question if possible. Why are the ends of the bolts (stainless steel) sticking out? I assume they are temporary, waiting to be replaced by copper rivets. This boat you are building is a dream come true. Congratulations, she will certainly be a masterpiece.
Really looking forward to some of the interior work. Just wondering if this work might collide when you have to fit in the missing planks . Looking forward to next friday - like for the last 152 weeks.
Hi guys, not sure if anyone has asked this question before, but how do you intend to move Arabella when she is finished, and how far are you from the nearest water?, or are you going to wait for the ice caps to melt and just sail her out of there! lol. Stay safe guys and best wishes from "Over the Pond" Cheers... Les.
Drill a hole through those corners or grind a radius where you cut in your floors. Those hard corner can eventually be the starting points for a crack.

Thanks, Matt!
I gave up on TH-cam notifications, and just check every Friday at 7am because y'all are punctual.
I really love the balance between you both in the new episodes. Also loving the increased dialogue and narrative in the latest episodes!
Thanks for that feedback!
Thanks for posting and sharing. So neat that the boat is still centered.
Wow well done Acorn to Arabelle
Akeera sounded like he sorted out the outside issue! Great job guys best regards from England see you soon

I started watching this channel because of Akiva (I'm a husky dad too) and have stayed because I enjoy making things (hobby machinist). I completely recognized that moment of "did I hear that right, dammit, what did you do now?"... Huskies do what huskies do. :D
Hope you're signed up for the newsletter... we've got an Akiva-related news item for tomorrow.
I hope you know and realize what a fantastic project you are doing. You are gaining so many skills, technics, and knowledge. As you mentioned today. You didn't know what you didn't know until you come to that step. What a great experience to have at your age. Keep on keeping on.
Kudos for the filming and the editing! Looking forward to my Arabella fix every Friday!

Put some radius where you’ve cut the floors down to prevent a cracking propagation
For sure.....I was watching that and was cringing. Looks like a perfect spot for a crack to form.
kudos for explaining the work environment. for some of us, these last few years makes us feel really close to y'all!
such a positive episode!
I literally would not know it was Friday some weeks if not for you guys (and History Guy). Time has lost all meaning the past year.
Can't wait for the interior and mast work.
Been here since the led pour. Such a relaxing channel.
I really wanted to see more of the finished installation of the mast step. I need closure, lol.
Thank you Ben for the new volume of your music. Bought, downloaded and I'm enjoying it very much.
Can't wait for this friday!
She’s looking good
One thing I like to have in the video, if it doesn't create more work, are measurements and temperatures translate to metric system for us European folks thank you very much for all the content

Good morning from southwest Florida.
We'll be sending some warmer weather up to you guys soon lol
Waiting for lunch as always; cold here...cheers rr Normandy, Fra.
Every Friday I have enjoyed watching your videos. i don't know what I'm going to do once you finish. Great work Guys.
Don’t worry, it’ll be a few years yet
And when we're done building we'll go places-You'll come along for that, too, right?
I say it every week... "the boat and the videos look great!!" -keep it up!
Signed up for the newsletter.... gonna be a beautiful boat guys..

That's a great sentiment, Simon, and is exactly why we make videos. See ya Friday.
Here in San Diego " Acorn to Arabella " was the first video to pop up Friday morning 6:30am Thanks !
You guys are awesome And Arabella is looking so great
Well shucks, Rodney. Thanks.
Great episode. Always appreciate learning new strategies and skills.
New music is great, and love the new intro best one yet. Though I do expect to see "Special guest, Norm Abram" :D
Each week is new and interesting, I am a woodworker also, wood turning cabinet and furniture making. I am always impressed to see your consistency and perseverance in tackling the opportunities that your project has presented.
High-fives all around. You guys are doing GREAT!!
You guys are not craftsmen but artist. All i can say is: F@CK, IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!
First thing this morning your video was at the top of the list. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing.

Love seeing this project taking shape - great stuff!!
Your going to love North Carolinas weather
Gets a little hot in Pamlico county, we hear!
thanks for uploading
it's interesting to see and hear from both Steve and Alix, that in some ways y'all have made it through "the winter" of the project and seeing it out into the spring just as that's beginning to arrive.
good luck, keep it up
Thanks for clearing up the height of the floor, I was under the impression the floor would be the width of the house.
As you said this I checked my notifications and it had been switched off had to re set it regards from the UK
Was waiting for the video 😀
The series has really picked up since you moved on from planking. Exciting!
The pause to see if the bark is alarm, fear, or hurt.......the relief that it is none of them just a crazy dog.........
Nice to see Alex for 3mins in the video
Steve, a question I've had for a long time now: When planing over an edge, as you do with the mast step there (9:45), aren't you worried about "tearout" as the plane goes over the edge?
Can't wait for the day this baby is in the water
Great progress, and it’s good to hear Ben is getting into the woodworking end of the project. His interest probably shouldn’t be surprising since video editing and boat-building call for a similar approach: intelligent overall planning followed by systematic, scrupulous attention to the myriad details involved in either pursuit.
I remember when you guys started (binger here) Alix was more likely to have a tree fall on him than put a nail in a board.
As always, very entertaining and very informative.
Awesome progress guys - super informative too!!! ⛵
When do you plan to get back to finish the planking?
It is really a great sight when looking down the length of the inside of the boat except for the missing planks.
Good work getting all the bronze floors done.
Spring and warmer weather can't come soon enough!!!
Soon! thanks for the kind words, and we agree about the warm weather. COME, SPRING!
Thanks for getting us through the pandemic.
geez, i dont know how you do it, i feel like id be spending the most of the time checking measurements rather than making the cuts and drilling the holes, amazing
Again a most interesting video.
Thank you guys.
Love this channel, love that dog.
Oh boy oh boy, I hope you're signed up for that newsletter because we've got an Akiva-related news item tomorrow.
For a sec there it sounded like you were describing a delicate operation. Should'a known better.
Love you guys! I just turned fifty! 😑
Love the videos ,have followed from the start ,,
If I had the boat and was young again. I would go from Victoria Canada up to southern Alaska.
skagit.craigslist.org/boa/d/anacortes-1968-atkin-barrie-anne-ketch/7283756357.html
Not mine, but would this work?
@Salazar Montego
Spot shrimp, Dungeness crab, lots of rock fish. Berries, oysters, and those little Blacktail deer. I never went hungry.
Yee haw! Happy Arabella Day!
@1:44....why would you encounter a "strong downward force" over and above the normal mast loading from the weight of the sail and ropes and fitments? Wind gusts might be the assumption, but would that have a downward vector component?
Are you guys going to use hammocks for berthing
Hi, a question if possible. Why are the ends of the bolts (stainless steel) sticking out? I assume they are temporary, waiting to be replaced by copper rivets. This boat you are building is a dream come true. Congratulations, she will certainly be a masterpiece.
Temporary, yes. That's where the bilge bands will go.
Guys she is looking great.....question, what keeps you up at night?
Really looking forward to some of the interior work. Just wondering if this work might collide when you have to fit in the missing planks . Looking forward to next friday - like for the last 152 weeks.
Hi guys, not sure if anyone has asked this question before, but how do you intend to move Arabella when she is finished, and how far are you from the nearest water?, or are you going to wait for the ice caps to melt and just sail her out of there! lol. Stay safe guys and best wishes from "Over the Pond" Cheers... Les.
