Acorn To Arabella · video

¿Qué cubre este video?

The construction of the wooden boat Arabella moves toward the planking phase as the crew prepares to install steam-bent oak frames into the keel timber.0:05 To ensure precise reinstallation, the team marks each frame with its specific position using a permanent marker before sanding and oiling.6:22 The process involves securing the frames with number 18 silicon bronze flat-head screws to prevent galvanic corrosion and iron sickness in the oak.9:15 To ensure a tight fit and prevent damage to the screw heads, the crew modifies standard screwdriver tips by grinding away the taper.9:51 Before driving the screws with a bit and brace, they drill pilot holes with a tapered bit and coat the threads in toilet bowl wax to provide lubrication and a water-resistant seal.10:19 The team also repurposes components from the vessel Victoria, moving spars to a new boathouse level and removing hardware for winter storage.3:02
