It's a full shop these days, and in this episode, there is truly a little bit of everything. Woodworkers will enjoy the joinery from Scott, systems nerds will appreciate Satchel's work with the marine 12 volt electrical equipment, and of course we've got some sanding and wood finishing (varnish). Steve also gets out the welder, and no worries, he definitely got his title for the week and Ben called it his Sistine Chapel. It's that good.
We're rolling with a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery bank and it's neat to get Satchel's perspective on the various items needed to make that work well with an alternator and in a marine environment. We'll have a lot more about this in future videos as well.
Plus, AKIVA! And little Ernest the Boston Terrier. They're best buds.

Acorn to Arabella is a wooden boat building project taking place in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve started as an amateur wooden boat builder building a 38' wooden sailboat 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 classic wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY boatbuilding project will continue well past launch, when he and the crew will travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva.

K.P., If you're reading this we miss you! And for everyone, I so look forward to Friday mornings with y'all. Thanks for being awesome.
Bens edit,narration and music always lend the boathouse such a chill, relaxed vibe. Given the number of people and jobs in progress, it must be a madhouse in there at the moment!
What he said!
All ayes to praise for Ben, but I do not think that it will be a madhouse - Steve has shown that he can manage multiple work strands and keep everything going smoothly.
Anthill, probably - productive, pretty, mesmerising! :)
Spot On!!!!

Original music really sets a TH-camr apart. The royalty free catalogue is still too sparse to avoid overlap. I recently discovered the channel of engine builder/tuner Pete Harrell (AKA Real Good at Doin’ Stuff) and his comic metal themes keep me coming back. youtube.com/@realgoodatdoinstuff900
The way Steeve takes the time with this kid to show him what and how to do things is absolutely a joy to watch.
G'Day from south Australia
Happy Friday, Robert!
The production of this is amazing. And it follows through on every level - if you are going to make something, make it beautiful.
Thanks!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am loving the call to arms for help to get this project done on schedule given Steve’s need to attend to family matters. Warms my old heart!
SS... Yo También... X 1000!!!! We need this Nutrition.... and we have to Look for IT... We were Lucky!!!! ✌✌✌
We lived on a Alden designed fractional sloop for 30 years. Our warm weather "shower" was a swim. Our cold weather shower was a kettle heated on the stove dumped into a 1 gallon plant sprayer and topped up with tank water. Like the fellow doing the pumps, we don't shower that much!
Yup! We’re out here! It’s so very personal, all these choices. -Anne
Love that we get more Akiva in here with Adin's footage :D And also the vibe in the boathouse is great with all these people and all this going on!
"Poplar with the Burls"... you're killing me here. Love it.
😁
Good people attract good people.
Good to see Akiva! And I liked the welding shots at 8:00 !
"Poplar with the Burls" -- got to be my favorite title so far. And Satchel!! You're amazing!! What a gift to have you on board.
Every time I see Aaron if that’s the correct spelling I think of my child hood. I was lucky enough to have have a Steve in my life as well and learned so much from the man down the street. He was a highly skilled craftsman and taught me everything he could. I didn’t have a farther and he didn’t have a son so it was a perfect match. The best thing I got out if this was a life time of memories. This was 50 years ago and I still think about him all the time.
Best to you all
Tim
Thanks for sharing the memory of your friend and mentor!
@@AcornToArabellaGreat video work. I can’t wait for the launch!
Thanks for letting us watch! :)
Thanks for being here!
How is KP , is She getting better ? Some lovely woodworking going on👌thanks for the video guys 🥰😎👍
Yes, inquiring mind want to know just how KP is doing...........................
Yes, inquiring minds would like to know how KP is doing...............................................
Yes, How's KP?
KP is getting a little better VERY slowly. Thank you so much for asking, and we hope to see them back soon.
GWS KP!
I had a small (16 months) break and just didn't have a time to catch up so just decided to watch this episode. It's great to see how the project has progressed during that time, well done!
As a original arabella watcher, I find the new influx of hands has been making the last few videos so fun to watch! Looking great as always. #Hotshowersforsteve
Glad you like them!
Another masterful piece of editing and narration Ben... you are a storyteller extraordinaire!!!! If there're such things as an Emmy for You Tube editing - you should win it hands down!!!
That’s so kind, Casey. Thank you.
For those roof lights, I would extend the plastic (?) sheet out over the lower edge to provide a smooth water run off and use the bronze strips on the top and sides. Small stainless 'S' clips would secure the lower edge. But perhpas you have good reason for the bronze lower strip.
Thanks for the Akiva update. I remember in the first few videos he was just romping around everywhere. Now he's more on the sidelines, but it looks like he has canine company.
He could romp around the shop because of an enclosure in there for him… which we removed a while back because of big changes and we haven’t had a chance to set it back up again. He’s an escape artist and likely to get himself in trouble in streets or even maybe hurting other domestic animals like cats and chickens, so he needs his spaces and boundaries. Yup, he’s doing well and Ernest is good company!
Happy Saturday morning to me❤❤
Here's wishing KP well, many of us enjoy her craftsmanship and personality, we miss her. The boat in general, but the interior cabinetry is beautiful. This is the home stretch and you and cre are doing a fantastic job. Eagerly anticipating the hull work and finally the finishing. You are doing a fantastic job and your viewers are proud of you.
This is how I found out that my state is going battery electric with out ferry system, and I am ok with that.
Keep up the great work everyone.
Thank you for the pupdates!
😁
always fun to watch --- thank you
Thanks, Ken!
Use the extension of the handle on that bender jig to get a more controlled bend!
Good morning from Siesta Key Florida
Hi there, Bill! Happy Friday.
Outstanding craftsmanship! Great job to everyone.
I love all the different titles y'all come up with for Stephen
Whew. Yep. Devils into details. I like these guys, they know what’s going on. 👍✌️
There are times I am just blown away with all the people working on your dream Steve. I still think you are floating on sawdust and wood shavings now. Remeber to take the tide out, clean up on occassion too. Awesome teamwork.
🙌thanks!
Good morning to A2A crew and all viewers catching up on the great progress going on. We're viewing from Victoria BC.
Happy Friday, Michael! ☕️
Akiva! Always love seeing some wild Akiva show up on the videos. He is the reason I came to the channel... cannot wait to see him out on Arabella with Steve for an adventure.
You may want to consider a water expansion tank. When the water is heated in the water heater, if it has no room to expand, it will come out of the water heater pressure safety/ relief valve. Just redesigned my own boat with one after a hot water tank leak scare.
Yup!
poplar with the burls.....I want that T-Shirt!
😉
The faces of the cabinetry is going to look fabulous with that Beryl wood. Just imagine what shipwrights had to do years ago when all they had only had access to hand tools? Imagine the time and grief they had to combat compared to today with all the handy hand tools to speed things up and make it much easier for the carpenter or shipwrights.
Totally impressed by all the love and hard graft every single person on the build puts into this amazing project. Sending my love to all, and especially to the person who chooses Steve's position title for each episode. Such a lovely group of folks, and I wish every single one of you get what you want in your life, and get the same love and support that you give. Take care!
Thank you very much! Ben does those titles 😊 and thank you for your kind words.
Amazing that Aden has done work on the ferries that you'd take if visiting Leo Goolden's project Tally Ho in Port Townsend, Wa. Another link between two marvellous projects I've followed since the beginning!
Thanks to the crew! Wow awesome!. I really love how the crew takes the time out of their hectic schedules to Teach Aaron while he is there. Steve you are so kind ! Proud!
Thanks , enjoyable video
She's coming along so nicely!!! Awesome craftsmanship all around, can't wait to see her touch the water!
As the episode opens, it struck me how much the interior looks like a habitat. Progress.
How nice, thanks for that observation!
So many talented hands working together for a common goal . With the Ann's excellent camera work , Bens narration and sound track these video couldn't get better . I've been captivated since watching Steve was cutting down the hallowed trees , what a great story.
Most of this camera work in this one is Adin, but thank you very much!
More more more details !😊
Poplar with the Burls!!! 😂
😉🏆
Poplar with the Burls.....nice!
Wow! You guys are busy! Stuff going on all over the boat!
"Poplar with the Burls" is one of your best so far Ben!
😁
The puns are getting better for Steve's title, I see you. Poplar... Burls...
This project often reminds me of my time working on historical restorations of 19th century homes. Working with the wood, as opposed to powering through it, and the quality of the joinery are especially evocative of that experience. It makes my coffee taste that much better. Thanks, crew!
Happy Friday, Bill!
Ha ha! Poplar with the burls! Very good!
😁
Despite needing to mind the work of so many others, plan the project, figure out the most crucial unsolved problems AND care for his mom, Steve nevertheless pauses to teach Aaron whenever he comes by, and with remarkable patience. Any ordinary person would be forgiven for begging out or being a little hurried in the same circumstances. This speaks volumes about the character of the guy in charge, and I'm certain it's going a long way to shape another kind person and humble leader.
Ben and Anne - you two always leave me wanting more. So much more. Great video story telling ( and editing. Thank you.
Good to see Akiva back on the Channel!
and Ernest!
To everyone who was working on the project today you all get a
U ROCK.
LOVE THE VIDEO
Great job you guys, everything seems to be coming along swimmingly.
I'm starting to get a sort of flash-forward effect, where I can see us watching future videos of Arabella out at sea, saying 'Do you remember all that time when she was on dry land and we saw the component wood coming together?' A large part of that comes from the sight of the deck in the background, now it is pitched and (hopefully) watertight.
Makita multi-tool to the rescue. What a lifesaver those things are!
They’re awesome.
I am so pleased for you that the work on the deck seems to working out
Wow, today's video looks like a full scale industrial effort; far more complex that a hobbyist effort.
To get these videos out weekly, it’s been a long time since this was a hobby. Thanks for watching, Norm!
Good day from Germany, great work guys!
Happy Friday, thanks for watching!
All the interior spaces are coming together nicely.
All hands on deck !
I, like so many others here, want to note the videos' excellent flow presenting the jobs at hand.
Watching an hour earlier again this week, back to noon next week as clock go forward from 2a.m Sunday morning. Happy A&A day everybody from Plymouth UK
Happy Friday, Phil! Good luck with the time change. 🌱🪺
More great work by the whole crew and thank you for some Akiva time!
“Popular with the Burls” 😂 Very nice!
😁😉
Great Video !
Thanks!
Great episode! Keep rolling Arabella team! 👍👍
Poplar with the Burls... absolute genius.
😁
Hot showers are neither optional nor a luxury - they are a must!
They don’t make the boat go and lots of people don’t have them… but sure, for some people, they wouldn’t travel without a pressurized hot water system and that’s a-ok for them. And it’s a-ok to have other setups too!
When Satchel said that his professors told his class that 90% of you are going to be working commercial vessels I couldn't help but laugh. I got the exact same pitch from my professors and we were all like yeah sure, and then they proceeded to set that expectation by making us work on nothing but commercial vessel design for the next 4 years of school. Now that I'm in the industry I can confirm that number is actually higher than 90% XD
Wow!
My Uncle Elmer loved working with Burl wood- can't wait to see your finished product- He was a farmer who worked 800 acres in MI but as a sideline planted and harvested for veneer-
Thanks for sharing the memory of your uncle!
"Popular with the Burls" LMAO 😂
😉
Thanks for the Akiva update it's been long awaited.
Love the energy of this. And FOUR WAY book matched faces! Few do that anymore. Cool.
Poplar with the burls - very cute.
Still loving the progress. Spring in New England, I know of no place prettier!
I hope KP is slowly recovering. They bring such a nice energy to the videos
We agree and miss them too!
A KP update would be great! I definitely miss them.
Good show.. thanks for posting it..
Yes - a few more very good cooks attending to a growing menu! Hoping KP is getting better and soon able to rejoin the kitchen staff on-site!!
"Your mission....if you decide to accept....WHICH YOU WILL!!!! Hahahahahahah! DD
Good morning Ben et al. Great Friday morning, with A2A it’s worthwhile to wake up and of course, grab a coffee.
Happy Friday! ☕️🙌
I'M IMPRESSED BY HOW SOLID THAT BENCH IS
Me too, the bender must have a super strong fixing to the bench to withstand the terrific force needed to bend the bronze bars ( which should have been annealed first ) if the mounting had given way, he would have had a nasty fall.
Also hats of to the guy who made those perfect dovetail joints, well done.
As one of my journeyman once said “it’s all assholes and elbows in here!” Love all the hands to make launch😊
Hahaha
Ben! That title for Steve this week. Bonus points!
Poplar with the Burls was inspired.
Happy Friday everyone, looking forward to seeing those burl draw fronts they will look amazing.
Happy Friday, Aynsley!
I like the new electrical guy and whomever is filming! Great video.
🙌
Remember that you will need spares for each pump - hopefully the electric bilge pumps are all the same... Back in the day when I lived aboard we were constantly maintaining pumps on a 44 footer - lack of use is almost as bad as over use. Also, we got used to having hot water only when the engine had been running. Great bunch you have there and can't wait for the launch!
🙌
That one plane drawer is going to make the whole boat list to one side! Lol
More great work by the whole crew
Those burl pieces will look so good..
Keep chipping away guys!🙂
🙌🎉
0:01 Damn man, that's lookin good. I do kind of wish that beautiful white decking wood continued onto the walls with portholes. It'll all come together though, I'm sure of it. Quality craftsmanship all around!
I loved that new guitar riff Ben!
Ferry work! That's in my backyard.
Those were Epic battery box brackets! They will last 1,000+ years!
Indeed!
TGIF - Great work team, loving the progress however big or small ⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵
Miss Akiva in the boat house.
We do too! His shop enclosure is in flux still as we rearrange some staging and materials.
As always a great video ❤
"Poplar with the Burls" Laughed out loud at that one.
😁
Great vid, compliments to the chef!
