The Mizzen Mast Step - Episode 154 - Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat

With the main mast step finished, it's time to make the mizzen mast step. This one is significantly smaller as it will hold a significantly smaller mast and take less of a load. It feels like we're installing a sculpture as integral part of the boat! It's very satisfying to be making beautiful things that then come together into a working final product.
We also get started on another very exciting project which will be coming up in more videos soon. Many of the re-sawn offcuts from the planking material have been sitting in the shop waiting to be used. Now is their time to shine!

Thank you for watching this week, and as always, for the support.

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