This program reminds me so much of my dad, he was a submariner on diesel/electric boats in the Royal navy when he wasn't at sea he would teach young men and women how to repair and build historical boats in there restoration ship yard in Portsmouth, when he came home he either stunk of diesel or that lovely smell of the wood yard, watching you guys reminds me as a kid watching and helping dad and the way you do things brings back epic memories, I so wish he was still here to watch you guys together, he would love it, keep up the good work, its going to be one stunning boat
Same. I was watching some copper working tips and it was a suggested video. It turned into watching videos til 1 am on a work night. Watching these guys pursue their passion is so uplifting.
I am impressed by the change in both of you over the past 2.5 years. In Episode 1 you were both pretty squirrelly. You've developed into conscientious craftsmen. I think it all comes from giving serious consideration to the future, both for the build and for yourselves.
You guys are killing it !!! Keep up the great work.........so much progress has been made........and a LOT of work. You guys are literally making history here.
As an easy chair supervisor (i.e., totally clueless), I now appreciate the construction difference for the ribs between Acorn to Arabella and Tally Ho. Bending steamed wood versus cutting Live Oak into the proper shapes. Thanks for the great videos.
Well done! I am really impressed with your 'new' format for the videos! Please do not take this the wrong way, I have LOVED every single installment, but the addition of a dedicated (and obviously skilled) video editor is an awesome supplement to your team!!
Thanks for posting and sharing! Tedious work on the floors. Sailing Arabella to look fwd to and kindnesses of well wishers and supportive viewers assured.
You guys are building this boat the way a luthier builds a custom acoustics guitar. Massive attention to detail. Love your work keep it up. As always I’ll be looking out for the next video.
Good s_it Manerds! I look forward to each episode and picture myself there helping out. I gotta work my job or I would be there. I love anything working with my hands... welding, woodworking/fabrication, have made some saddles, doin electrical work, making jigs and solving stuff on the fly, all while having fun and treating others like I would want to be treated...all makes life worth while. What has life cost me so far? Everything, and wouldn't have it any other way. Spend it, all of it while smiling, every chance you get!
Well, you'll be happy to know that Alix is still doing the cinematography :) Alix shoots all the footage and then passes it on to Ben to edit. Both doing a great job and care deeply. Let us know if you have specific concerns or comments about the videos. Thanks!
@@AcornToArabella well, I'm not gonna lie. Alec Steele made a video almost every day, not only doing content, but editing and he did that for a long time by himself. And the quality is good. So now with a team, just saying perhaps it's very possible 🤣.
You guys probably have thought of this but I watch a great site called EngelsCoachShop where he authentically builds horse drawn coaches and wagons. (Think 20 mule team borax wagons, or Budweiser commercials) Anyway, he fixes huge timbers together with ironwork for the running tackle and does a lot of this fitting of thick bands etc. To maximize surface contact he then “beds” the metal in before bolting down with wood glue of all things (probably cause it doesn’t stick to the steel for removal). Really amazing craftsmanship in his product.
I am a fan of them too! I was particularly fortunate in my 16th year to be part of reenactment of a historic battle at Fort McHenry in the Baltimore harbor that similar to how West Point, NY protected river traffic via the HUGE CHAIN that could rip a ship to the waterline if foolish enough to try to run the blockade without authorization. It was a series of 5 forts with the huge chain strung between them & as a last resort the British ships of the Line hoped that all night bombing of the fort force of all their cannons they could seize the fort as a prize of war. A man who was an attorney, Francis Scott Key, from Frederick, Maryland where a statue of him is in a historic cemetery. He was in the city to broker as prisoner exchange in the War of 1812 where the Brits hoped to storm our port's and recapture the U.S.A.
I was thinking of Engels too. If they watch some of the fit up that he does using a hydraulic press it might give them some ideas on how to streamline what they're doing.
Amazing quality on the videos these days... editing, camera work, etc. It does justice to the care and quality of the build. So glad to have subscribed back in the early days. You have come a long way.
hats of you you guys, the boat is coming along nicely, and Ben is dooing great with the editing, love that he just used the raw audio and no music when you where fitting the brass at the end!
I don't think there is really any other option to fabricate those bronze timbers besides melting and casting, and that would be even more onerous considering you have to cast them all differently. One thing is for sure, nobody else is going to appreciate how much effort you guys are throwing into this floating work of art. I can't even imagine how you are going to feel when you finally set sail. Truly inspiring.
What's that quote again? _If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea._
Wow! That was a wonderful song, eh? EH! And great progress on the boat and glad that you've purchased an hydraulic press. That makes life so much easier.
Stephen, yes, something that should be taught more in school and our society in general. 1019wc1019, true and very much appreciated but we would also be applying those same ethics to the build if we were going slower and working day jobs.
In Scotland where I'm watching this video, we say anything built well and of sturdy well crafted and solid material Is 'Clyde built' meaning well manufactured; I would be fair in saying your wooden vessel ‘Arabella' more than covers all the criteria for that honest label of good hard labour and commitment. Well done to you both and all involved.
Well, I found your channel last week and didn't accomplish much this week because I was just binge watching every episode on your channel. Fantastic work gentlemen. You're an inspiration. It's a monumental project, and even if I never take on anything quite this big myself, it certainly boosts confidence in smaller projects to see how you go about tackling these issues one step at a time. I look forward to future episodes as your journey continues. Hold Fast!
Wonderfull attention to quality and detail! Don’t like some of the frames....you replace it. You both have the patience to make it just right. And Alix you have such a calm and warm voice for narrating what you are doing.
Keep hearing david bowie’s major tom when you’re wearing all the ppe for working the bronze lol. Commencing countdown engines on. Glad you got the stuff to be safe. Thanks for sharing!
1st I’m seeing a mig welder for brass/copper. Some of your welds look real nice. I stumbled across your channel a few days ago and I can’t help but to watch and binge watch from the beginning. Keep up the good work guys, nice video work by the way!
Great video. Love the song and guitar in the beginning. Goes well with your project. Doing great. I really enjoy watching. I have always wanted to build a boat but now I get the step by step watching you guys building. Very inspiring.
Having followed your progress from the beginning, I continue to be amazed by your level of dedication and craftsmanship. Observing the myriad of ways you solve problems gives me pause to consider how long this project would have taken "back-in-the-day", using just basic hand tools of the period (no electric or hydraulic equipment)? To do what you've done would truly constitute a "Generational" effort, spanning your entire adult lifetimes. I wish you only the best and most continued success on your project. It defines the term "Labor of Love".
Thank you! We also go a bit slower as we are learning as we go. Back in the day they were all craftsmen and had plenty of tricks up their sleeves. Maybe they weren't making bronze floors like this but they could build boats this size in no time flat. Very impressive.
A little bit more explaining about the why and how was very helpfull in understanding why its so hard to get them in that shape. With one person working on it that goes more relaxed and easy aswell. Thank you, best regards.
Excellent work custom fabricating the compound curves in my view, gentlemen. Congratulations. It went just about how i expected it to go. For me, i would find it very satisfying because it was all Properly time consuming to get it correctly done. Very nice craftsmanship all the way around! Let us hope the slight gaps between brass and wood wind up serving to be exactly WhatIsNeeded to support air drying and Prevent Rot in the ribbing.
When it gets hard to bend, heat the piece until red and quench in water. It will take the stress out of the piece due to work hardening. Might want to do that after welding as well to get consistent stress in each piece.
After an accident at a very low speed and I was the only truck and person injured. I have loved woodworking since growing up in Pennsylvania and seeing the skills of people who only had hand tools to build mines, cities & barns. I loved the books of Eric Sloan about wooden farm buildings, especially barns. I'm not able to stand much more than a couple minutes so my hobbies of woodworking and rusty machinery are beyond my abilities so I was watching the Travel channel and I saw a workshop in Sedona for the lost wax process that at it's earliest was somewhere in Israel. I got into making many different types of jewelry and the method you speak of is used extensively in this field.
There weren't any issues with the metal getting hard to bend, just hard to find the right compound curve. Annealing happens during the welding process as well as it gets heated as it is welded, they are just not quenched (there seems to be differing information out there as to whether the quenching is needed or not...)
Acorn To Arabella we did an experiment in material science showing how bronze work hardens. We used quenching after heating to compare how the grain structure changes. I was just wondering if it would help you get the compound curves easier because as you go back and forth, the material hardens. Welding tends to localize hot spots, so you could heat the entire floor to bring some “spring” back to the material before final installation.
They showed their safety concerns in one previous video. Basically, removed the sawdust around the welding table, welding blankets when tacking, and having a person with a fire extinguisher right there at all times.
This is coming along nicely. Enjoyed the song, a change of pace. Personally I think you two are just a little bit mad, but it is a wonderful madness. More power to you! On a different note, the bronze "floors" are an interesting solution to the problem of tying the bottom structure together. I assume that, back in the day, like 100 years ago, such a solution was possible, but as such, they would have been cast? THE COLONEL
Hey guys I love watching this yacht of yours come together. I did learn one thing the expensive way anytime you're going to video welding you need a filter to protect your camera. Not sure what you used if anybody's already commented on it but I just want to throw that your way hope that helps.
Good job yea the new press save y'all alot time and looks like it may help for them better. Great song also that was so cool of him o loved listen to it. Tell him great job. Till next video have fun and god bless
I have worked with cast and plate silicon bronze for a really long time. A few drops of cutting oil on the drill press and drop saw would really make your cuts faster and cleaner and save your drill bits and blades from super fast wear. I know your team is likely going through a lot of disposables (Bits and Blades) so it might be a good idea to get some cutting oil. You dont need much. Just a few drops will do ya on most jobs. Love your videos and just so ya know, I get sea sick as all get out, but this work is still super engaging for me. DOH! at 21:57 I see,,,, cutting oil! Hooray!
I think as time goes on, we will find Alix to be a competent craftsman in his own right. The meticulous nature that was previously applied to video editing will now be applied to boat building instead.
@@netpackrat Bending those floors as well as he did certainly puts him squarely into the craftsman club, I applaud his entry into this side of the project, looking forward to more!
Set the press up to sit on the keal so you can bend without moving also make a chair to sit on. I think that will make your bends more accurate and cut down on time. Also a stopper so the press can only go up 1/4" so it is only one pump away from contact.
Putting the press in the boat would not have been convenient. Worked great the way we had it and getting up and down allowed me to stretch which was very welcome!
@@AcornToArabella good call... let me know when you are ready for electrical I am a master electrician and owner of simonelectricllc.com at the very least I have tons of wire and materials
I've had surprising success with Shazam on my mobile phone to identify music coming from the computer speakers. It sounded good just played on a guitar didn't it?
Realy Like the tune at 3:12. Would like to know the name. And grate editing an grate music an film and lets not forget the amazing craftsmanship 👍 keep it up nice work 👍
Hi guys! Yes, it's a hell of an investment, these bronze floors, in every sense possible. But it'll pay off and as I've seen with my own eyes, they're gonna be beautiful! Enjoy your Open Day tomorrow - I'm sure Piglet will be a huge success!
I commend you for your ear protection. What of "eye" protection? Ahh, is it the "super man" delusion again?! Yes, time must be saved. I so enjoy this video. One of my favorites.
Alix you made a good job of explaining the procedure this makes the video more interesting, you also made a good job of shaping the bronze plates, now you need to weld them yourself, make some practice welds first on some off cut material and I am sure you will produce some good welds, and keep up the good editing.
Thank you. We divide the labor and work on different things. Sometimes it is a bit too much to be doing a bit of all the work as well as finding the shots and filming.
Thanks, yes we tried both of these and more. Not really worth the time and energy just for the welding. This works for what we are trying to show. But it was fun messing around for a little bit

Thank you so much for this thoughtful comment! Sounds like your father was a good man. Glad to be bringing back some good memories for you.
The community behind this boat is something special. Well done.
This journey started for me a random “Pouring a 4 1/2 ton keel” video. You have come so far. What a boat she’s going to be!
yeh me too! first they give you the free "just try a bit of lead keel" line, then you're hooked, and then they're your dealer
Yep, that’s where I started. I remember thinking these guys were going to poison themselves with that. Been hooked in ever since.
Same here! I was actually doing a search on picking up a keel in a video game called Wurm Unlimited, and found that exact video!
Same. I was watching some copper working tips and it was a suggested video. It turned into watching videos til 1 am on a work night. Watching these guys pursue their passion is so uplifting.
Haha seems to be a recurring theme here. Never thought that video would be so wildly popular. It just hit over 2 million views recently!
This is not boat building this is art. Your attention to details is mind blowing guys. Excellent job.
Love the music interlude, glad he kept his clothes on....

Would be devastating to have all that effort, going up in 🔥

have you guys thought of gathering up all your bronze scraps and casting a Cannon? That would be very cool !
A couple of swivel guns for the rails.
Very well done again and as always.
I can't wait to see this thing sail. I want to be on it already.
Nice piece of Bob Dylan there at about 4.00. Don't Think Twice, I'm just travelling on.
I thought i recognised that alright! Is there a link to that version anywhere?
I've had surprising success with Shazam on my mobile phone to identify music coming from the computer speakers. It sounded good just played on a guitar didn't it?
Watch the beard Stephen.. also you could try Plaster of Paris to take an impression of the compound curves... messy but can get the job done
Realy Like the tune at 3:12. Would like to know the name. And grate editing an grate music an film and lets not forget the amazing craftsmanship 👍 keep it up nice work 👍
Just going to give this a like before I even watch haha.
ditto
I watched just so as not to miss the endeavor of this some day good shipping crew from an old song, but not the best ending.
Man! that`s tedious work! but you`ll be proud when finished! Looks great :-)
Hi guys! Yes, it's a hell of an investment, these bronze floors, in every sense possible. But it'll pay off and as I've seen with my own eyes, they're gonna be beautiful! Enjoy your Open Day tomorrow - I'm sure Piglet will be a huge success!
piglet? wtf is piglet?

I commend you for your ear protection. What of "eye" protection? Ahh, is it the "super man" delusion again?! Yes, time must be saved. I so enjoy this video. One of my favorites.
many have commented on the use of 'eyes', will be more aware of that
Perfect timing to start my day!
Alix you made a good job of explaining the procedure this makes the video more interesting, you also made a good job of shaping the bronze plates, now you need to weld them yourself, make some practice welds first on some off cut material and I am sure you will produce some good welds, and keep up the good editing.
Thank you. We divide the labor and work on different things. Sometimes it is a bit too much to be doing a bit of all the work as well as finding the shots and filming.
Did you try shooting the welding thought a welding mask? Could be interesting. Great job guys!
Alternatively, crank the ISO all the way down, highest available f stop, and mess with the shutter angle for desired effect.
Thanks, yes we tried both of these and more. Not really worth the time and energy just for the welding. This works for what we are trying to show. But it was fun messing around for a little bit
Great musical performance. I loved it.
DANG!! Those are some impressive welds - are you sure you haven't done this before???
Yeah, his welding is now to a high level, Impressive !
Getting better every day

And a good song from Chicago ! Oups, actual title was Getting stronger eveyday. Means the same though !
I know it takes a long time to bend the wings but you guys are doing a great job. Don't get in a hurry it will be done before you know it.
They are doing a great job I agree.
Thank you! Got them done in time for the open house!
Looks like the new editing team is working well.
Just a thought, could you backbutter the bronze floors with epoxy or chock set to make them fit better
They fit pretty close and will be bedded in Dolfinite and then bolted to the frames and planking.
Hey, I notices you passed 100k subs. Congratulations.
Thank you!
