Acorn To Arabella · video

¿Qué cubre este video?

Construction of the wooden boat Arabella involves fairing sawn frames, cutting the rabbet, and installing cedar hull planks.0:07 The crew creates 40-foot planking patterns by squaring the ends and striking a straight edge using a string line, square, and long ruler.1:14 After removing hull ribbons to accommodate the first cedar plank, the team uses bar clamps to pull the plank into position against the molds.5:42 When the cedar requires bending at the stern, the crew uses a steam box powered by a turkey fryer burner.15:02 A solenoid failure in the burner forces a search for a replacement part at local retailers, eventually sourced from Cabela’s.15:32 The process requires careful handling of the cedar to avoid dents and splitting.10:01 For tool maintenance, the shop uses a Work Sharp system for quick edge touch-ups on chisels used for cutting white oak, reserving manual honing with Lee Valley jigs and Arkansas stones for finer finish work.25:46
