Acorn to Arabella - Journey of a Wooden Boat - Episode 79: Making Sawn Frames

[@yt2006ty]

I had to wait through ads embedded in the video for the first time today [really crappy local car ads mixed with Rockler(?)]. Anybody else get that? Does that happen if you watch on the Patreon site?

[@AcornToArabella]

Can you please let us know if you are getting ads in the middle of watching our videos? There should only be ads either at the beginning or the end of the videos but there should never be ones in the middle. We have no control over the content of the ads but we should have a say in how many are shown. We have recently found out that this isn't holding true. Thank you all for your help!

[@gullreefclub]

Acorn To Arabella Just a thought on future videos perhaps you should mention/read the message that you posted /I just read.

[@yt2006ty]

@@AcornToArabella One was at about 7:00 and the other around 11:00 or so. I probably wouldn't have mentioned it except 1. it's never happened before and 2. I was trying to follow Steve's math, and the ads made it harder to follow. Really, this isn't a big deal for me - love the project and think you guys are doing an incredible job.

[@iblong9505]

No midvideo ads for me. Thanks A2A! Love your work!

[@graussiecreations3405]

I didn't get to see a single ad, at all!!

[@ninjaassassin27]

The entire video is just a huge buildup to when you first hold the frame to the boat. For so much measurement and transfer and work, getting all of those curves and angles so accurately just blew my mind. Incredible.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏 Watching you putting so much effort into those two sawn frames I finally realized completely how incredibly important the old big shipbuilder bandsaw is to/for Leo Goolden/Tally Ho/Sampson Boat Co.. He was really lucky to get it (and he deserves it). Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health.

Excellent use of CAD... Cardboard Aided Design!

[@rvjunke3073]

Didn't know they had CAD in the 1800's. LOL. Honestly these guys are really great to watch. They are learning as they go and not afraid. Love the Acorn team. Keep it up and God Bless.

[@porkchop955]

@@rvjunke3073 This was one of the earliest Cardboard Aid Designs as cardboard dates to the 1840s! These guys are great. I love how they will take the time to find the best possible solutions then teach themselves the proper execution of those solutions. As you say, no fear.

[@robertmeyer8221]

I started watching your channel after the lead keel episode. I am a machinist and that process intrigued me enough to stay for the rest of the build. I think to date this is my favorite video since then. You took a seemingly impossible task of fitting up all those compound angles, and broke it down to such a simple process. That is the kind of wizardry I am trying to achieve all the time with metalworking. Great job!

[@waynemcphail7825]

Love this Tube and Tally Ho, what a combination of boat builders!

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks for posting and sharing your precise craftsmanship.

[@wi11y1960]

Missed the normal opening theme. It is part of your channel signature that I look forward to.

[@rongriswold]

Agreed. I like the visuals, and the musical adaptation is a good one, but I totally associate the original intro song with Arabella and miss it a lot. Nothing negative about the current incarnation, but I prefer the original song.

I've read about this, seen photos and diagrams... but nothing beats this for explaining the process. Thanks.

[@johnporter8896]

I love this channel and have to say today's episode, with that awesome templating technique for compound angles, is one of the best so far. Keep it up chaps!

[@billhamilton2366]

You never cease to amaze me with your skill sets and knowledge of your project. It's like you read a book..... Youz Guyz make my Friday mornings.

[@aaronallen4647]

I love watching Talley Ho, and then you. The difference in craftsmenship is very little while the techniques vary greatly. I love the figuring out and the problem solving without the tools that would make it is simpler. Great job. Sail life Athena is awesome to see a craftsmen on the inside. I have a great couple of hours lined out from Friday to Sunday with some boat building. Sometimes I see techniques that help in the finish carpentry part of what I do. Thanks.

[@webbtrekker534]

Now that you have it all figured out, time to build another one!!!! Looking good.

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Thank you for this video gentlemen. Great explanation of the process of pulling dimensions and getting out the pieces. Arabella is looking better every week. Take care and have a great weekend.

[@brianl500]

This is the first video where I'm completely lost. Totally dialed in on such important geometry. Well done

[@mannycamacho3892]

It's cool you mentioned Leo. I found your channel by watching him and your videos have been great while waiting on his.

[@jeffwood8109]

Nice shout-out for Leo and Tally-ho. You guys rock!

[@gregmirr]

That was an amazing process of developing the design / layout of the cut frames . I hope anyone who ever thought of building a wooden boat took note . I was holding my breath you had a lot of effort in those two pieces of wood ... well done indeed .

[@ThatGuyFromArizona]

I am not going to lie, this one has me lost :) Enjoyed it just the same... Morning Akiva!!

Me too! I guess he thinks in 3-D, like a sculptor. I could watch this 6 times, and still not come up with those odd shaped boards. 😢

[@GreensladeNZ]

After 8 hours of driving around other peoples food, I get to sit down with mine and watch my fav channel. Love you guys!

[@Deftonesdsm]

Food delivery? Like grub/door? You enjoy it? Do they pay fair? And should i tip cash separate from app is that better?

[@GreensladeNZ]

@@Deftonesdsm I deliver for Uber Eats, averaging about $22/hr before fuel, maintenance, tax etc. I enjoy it some nights, not as consistent as I'd like. I rarely get tips but cash would be better as most services will take a 10% cut.

[@Deftonesdsm]

@@GreensladeNZ cool. Yeah i bet uber is better than others. Noted i will tip cash from now on

[@volundrfrey896]

I feel ya, 8 hours of running in and out of meetings today. But now I have a glass of whiskey and can watch a beautiful ship taking form.

[@marcryvon]

@@GreensladeNZ Sorry man, but you're fighting in a loosing battle. It will never "be consistent". Go get a formation in a much paying trade and be a winner. Only Uber is making (huge) profits on your back. And every Uber client is a cheap skate. So, do not expect any decent tip. As an experienced accountant and looking in this trend for some of my own clients, I can tell you you're taken for a ride by Uber and the restaurants. You're taking in all the risks and expenses. Not them. I hate selfish Uber.

[@mikehill3426]

I was lost until you took the pattern off and put it on the floor. Very nice.

That was quite the puzzle to figure out and implement. Great job! Thanks for sharing.

[@Tomhohenadel]

You guys are incredible. Steven you had me thinking “what are you talking about when you described the front sawn ribs”. Glad you know your stuff, could not follow the inside and outside measuring points. Just not the same as building a 2x4 wall. Confusing but very confident in your ability

[@thomasarussellsr]

Between the words and the video, really quite well discribed/shown. I think that would give me enough to go on to figure out how to do my own if/when I ever get around to building my own boat. Thanks.

[@lookimyu]

I wasn't able to understand most of the words you spoke, but your enthusiasm is great!

[@bigunone]

Most trades have their own language, it's not designed to confuse the customer, it allows for ideas to be shared with out long explanation

[@lookimyu]

I re-ran the video and understood more of what the guy said. I think he may need to 'crisp up' his lingo for the international audience (though not perhaps to the same extent as Noel Coward does), but then again I'm 70 years old so I probably talk a different sort of English from the youngsters doing this video! They're thoroughly enjoyable videos, thanks for doing them.

[@briansmith8967]

For one, is he saying “ribbons” or “rib ends”?

[@johnmanning4577]

@@briansmith8967 Noun. ribband (plural ribbands) (shipbuilding) A long, narrow strip of timber bent and bolted longitudinally to the ribs of a vessel, to hold them in position and give rigidity to the framework.

[@ziggnutt1]

I am really enjoying your videos. I have watched almost every one. My lady friend sometimes appreciates it due to the fact that it keeps me quiet. I would love to be about 25 years younger. I would love to fly out and help you for a couple weeks or so. Age keeps me just watching. I think that your boat is going to be so beautiful. Nothing like sailing. I am a six year Navy vet from the tin can fleet on the east coast. I love the ocean.

[@countryboyscooter3402]

Spider at the end was a really cool touch.

[@kenshores9900]

Sorry that you guys get “You Tube” sail boat builders. It is easy for them to watch and criticize. It is your boat. You obviously researched how to build them. You are ingenious and resourceful. You have volunteers helping and you are repurposing parts from your old yacht. So I ask what do they have to say! Keep up the good work. It is interesting to watch the story. The title is a good name. Oh one last thing; remember sailors are cheap. If they weren’t cheap (willing to use the wind to propel the boat) they would own a power boat. Kudos to you guys. Keep it up. From the Third Coast

[@diverdan551]

Hope once she's in the water you make a stop of in the UK. Be awesome to know a boat built by two guys (with a bit of help from.some great volunteers) has made it across the ocean. Maybe.one day before that we get to travel to see her in her birth place. :)
