It's more complicated than one would think to make an existing hole a little bigger, but Joe the Machinist and Steve take it on this week as the propeller shaft comes into alignment with where the diesel engine will permanently sit. Of course, we need to know where the propeller shaft comes out in order to make the final adjustments on the position of the diesel engine on its beds and mounts.

Still in the rotation of current projects is the finish work on the coach roof, the framing for the hatches on the coach roof, and all the good planning to keep the inside of this sailboat dry for comfort and easy annual boat maintenance.

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