Acorn To Arabella · vídeo

O que este vídeo aborda

Fitting cedar planks to the hull of the wooden boat *Arabella* presents significant challenges compared to working with oak, as the cedar proves more fragile and resistant to twisting.11:49 The crew uses hot, wet rags to soften the cedar, allowing it to conform to the hull’s shape without cracking.1:42 After experiencing multiple failures with the starboard plank, the team successfully installs it using Dolphinite sealant and mechanical fasteners.4:36 The process involves complex spiling and fitting techniques, particularly at the stern and the rabbet.9:43 To address a necessary joint at the steeler, the crew prepares custom butt blocks from locust timber, which they plane and season to ensure stability before final installation.15:02 The project timeline faces delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced the cancellation of a planned "planking party" and reduced the available workforce.2:11 Despite these setbacks, the team continues the build, with plans for a temporary shift in production style as the owner takes a scheduled hiatus from the project.21:49
