It blows my mind that I've been watching you guys go at this for more than four and a half years now! Talk about patience and perseverance! OMG. Bravo, gentlemen, bravo!
Thanks to all the great people who are helping with the build and helping with filming and editing. Good luck to Bob and his family on their new venture.
Good luck Ben! Everyone here wishes you the best. Florida is a long way to travel to watch a movie but when we come up for the launching, we will certainly check y'all out. The boat is so beautiful that words fail me, thanks for letting me watch. God bless and wash your hands!
In these crazy times of turmoil, hate and racism, I look forward to Friday mornings to see fine, decent people working hands in hands on an awesome journey. This is the true American spirit at it's best as we learned to like and respect by visiting, as a Canadian tourists, so many times through the years, in New England states. We always felt welcomed and secure, meeting new friends. We wish you, Steven, Alix, Ben and all your helping friends, 🤞the very best and we hope to be able to visit soon and maybe pitch in as we can. 🤗 Martine et Marc, almost neighbors, Varennes, Québec, Canada
Good luck on your move and your daring new business venture, Ben & family. Lived in Newburyport for two short years and have fond memories of learning to sail where the river meets the incoming and outgoing tides. Loved the people and all the unique shops and businesses there and the wildlife, the Piping Plovers chasing the wrack looking for sea worms and the plethora of birds on Plum Island and the nature preserve. You're going to love it. It's been twenty years and still I miss it.
I'm always impressed with the quality of your work Steve. I can only aspire to that level of craftsmanship. Ben, I groaned when the credits popped up so quickly but moving and opening a new business is huge. I wish you success and happiness. Your editing skills here are fantastic.
It looks like your forms sitting out in the driveway at 15:16. I gather you're saving those in case you want to build another one! Another great, inspiring video! Thanks, Steve
You are very fortunate to have Bob come out and help you. His work is a piece of art and his work so perfect. I believe his help with the breast hooks and shelf was timed perfectly as you were working alone. Time for Alex to come back to work.
Alix will be back soon, as Steve mentioned a few weeks ago. He got sick as a dog with pneumonia and hadn't been spending any time with his girlfriend for years. So he needed time to recover, rehab/PT, and save a relationship.
It's warming to see a community of small boatbuilders helping each other. Please keep the friendships going and the warm videos too. Thank you for putting good content out here while the world is in chaos.
I binged Bob’s channel last week after you mentioned he be on this week’s episode. Very enjoyable. I like the comradeship of this community. Thanks for the great video!
If by now folks don’t know Bob by now they’ve been missing out on years of great wooden boat building. Time to catch up. He’s an artist making a beautiful boat. Extremely intelligent with an awesome tool making series.
Great episode! Thank you Ben and best wishes for a successful theater opening. It is great to see members of the boatbuilding community interact and support each other. Thank you Bob and Stephen. All of you take care and stay well.
Also watch Bob's channel; great seeing you guys working together. Ben, BLESS YOU and your wife for taking on and probably saving an old cinema in a rural part of the country. At 67, I have such fond memories of "cinema-tech" hole in the wall theatres in San Francisco, New York and finally in the back streets of Saint Michel on the left bank of the Seine in Paris ( and we still go to one out here in Normandy, run by volunteers.) As wooden boat building, we must never lose these art forms so VITAL for our growth as families and communities, where ever one lives...Bravo to you all...rr Normandy, France
Best of luck in Newburyport, Ben! Nearly 40 years ago I graduated from The Governor's Academy in Byfield a few miles down the road. It's a great community in which to raise a family.
Wonderful watching the nice tight fit go together on the stem and stern pieces. Best of luck to Ben taking on such a daunting challenge in these, which are at best, difficult times. I hope this proves successful for you. We're blessed to have your work on these videos we love each week so there's no need to apologize about the length.
People may not think it matters but you guys are part of my family. I have watched every post since the start and even my wife and kids as well. Even if you guys stop posting for some time my household will always return to be there and see your continued endeavor. Keep up the struggle and god be with you.
How nice is it that you have someone working with you who knows about boat's too !!!. You just say OK today I want us to be working on the........ and they just set straight to it without any back and forth asking questions or wanting you to show them how to do it!!!. I bet Steve feels like he is in heaven for the next ten days!!!. I've a sneaky feeling that the boat is going to be moving along pretty darn quickly for a week or two!!!. ⛵💯% 👍🇬🇧
I was surprised that there wasn't a huge celebration when the free hand drilled bolt hole came straight through the middle of the stem! Incredible craftsmanship. Big congratulations to the editor for pulling off this week's episode in the middle of moving and starting a new business! What phenomenal dedication. Cheers from Juneau Alaska, Greg Chaney
Dear boat building Acorns. 👍👌👏 Very well done again. As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all involved people and dogs.
Welcome to town, Ben! We are The Portermen, a nine-man shanty group out of Newburyport. Up until COVID we hosted a monthly singing session at the Port Tavern, not too far from your theater 😀 We’ll be sure to have a pint ready for you should you find yourself at the Tavern. And best of luck to you and your family in your latest endeavor!
Hi Steve, following your building adventure for yrs. now.Want to let you know about a Dutch video called " Building Emma".Building a sailboat ,old style, same size as Arabella.Took them 4 yrs and finished in 2008. In case you want to see the finished product. You and your team should get a medal for perseverance.
No problema... Life's turns need no apology, only admiralty, that you survived and even have hopes for the future aspirations, it was a good day. Sharing the highlights.
Love Bob and his channel, if you haven’t already, go shock him out. He’s the aristocrat of boat building, so classy and knowledgeable. Steve she is looking so good, congratulations on your progress. You guys make me proud to be American.
No worries, Ben and best of luck. These videos could be an hour long and i'd still feel like they're never long enough. Keep up the great and inspiring work.
Congratulations with the move Ben, I'm sure you, your wife, and family are going to love the change. I love the work you're doing with Steve and documenting the vision of Arabella coming to life. Steve, Arabella is looking amazing.
@@richcraven9207 there are plenty of us in the world, cheers from Australia. . since you mention TARDIS, i have a 1/2 scale Tardis in my lounge room, blinking top light and light up police box signs, the lid and one wall can be removed, it's lined with thick pile carpet and 4 shelves and a hammock, kitty can climb up on top to get away from the wolfhound. . i scaled down the dimensions from a 2006 (i think it was) diary/planner, i had to guess on the depths of the pieces on the front, but it worked out pretty damn nice.
Stephen, I just wanted you and Bob Emser to know that even though neither of you know me I am thankful and appreciative that Bob came out to give you a hand for 10 days. Also.... I gave out a loud "WOOO-HOOO!" when you got the breast hooks bolted in! Progress is a beautiful thing. Thanks again, Bob.
I've enjoyed these videos since the lead keel pour. The last one and this are driving me crazy though. Split the breasthook down the middle of the boat and constider the tensile strength across that face. The imposed loads in use will be more complex but will scale as tensile strength scales. There is no way that a couple of brass bolts will have anything like the yield strength of any of the recommended designs. Bud and Larry suggest a solid piece of wood, what looks like 3 inches thick and two feet front to back. 72 square inches cross section. Atkins also wants a piece of wood with a 3" x maybe 15" cross section (45 square inches), but wants wings on it to spread loads out more. Victoria had a 4" x 12" cross section breasthook (48 square inches). You've got two brass bolts, which I'm guessing are 5/8" shank (0.6 square inches), which is at least 75 times less cross section. Brass has a yield strength of 140 MPa. Tamarack has various strength in compression, tension, and yield from 3 to 49 MPa, but in no cases is it anything like 2 MPa, which is 75x less than brass. In short, your breasthook design is dramatically weaker than any of the other designs you mention, probably by a factor of ten. Why not just make the breasthook out of the two wings of live oak, laminated together in the center? You seem adept and comfortable with resorcinol. So long as the overlaps are maybe 5x the area of the cross section, you should be good, and the laminated crossgrain will be really tough.
This problem is substantially more complex than you make it seam. Atkins doesnt have 45 square inches under tension, but rather under flex. The bolts are under tension. This matters because geometry in any strain system can act to concentrate or disperse force. I have not done the math on it but i wouldnt assume the solution used is weaker let alone dramatically untill you have done the math.
@@1993zeba I'm interested, so I'm modelling two of the breasthooks in SolidWorks. One will be a solid chunk of something like wood (but isotropic), and the other will be two halves, bolted, with a membrane between that'll limit the shear and tensile forces transmitted. Two questions: One: what's an appropriate test case? I was thinking I could twist one of the arms around a bolt axis, but maybe that ridiculously unfair, because you have cross-grain shear in the solid piece vs friction in the bolted piece. Two: how do I share these results? Should I just mail them to the arabella folks?
Sigh.. it never fails. Put up a video showing someone making a template from cardboard, and within minutes, somebody will make a comment about Cardboard Aided Design, as if they were among the first to think of it. Newsflash for you, people.. it's no longer witty, and EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE WORLD has already gotten the joke.
Throw Alix over the side, and keep Bob. You have a true craftsman working with you, and one that you can RELY on to see the job through. Ben, welcome to the ranks of Massholes. I must say that with the COVID-19 situation you are very brave to re-open an old cinema. In any event, Newburyport is an idyllic seaside community and excellent place to raise a family.
As Steve mentioned a few weeks ago, Alix will be back soon. He got sick as a dog with pneumonia and hadn't been spending any time with his girlfriend for years. So he needed time to recover, rehab/PT, and save a relationship.
And after binging for 11 days I've watched and liked all Acorn to Arabella videos and commented on most. What a bizarre year we are having and likely to continue having for a while longer yet. It was with great trepidation I watched as the dates of the videos crept closer to C-day but you all put your heads down and plodded on. Take a break when you need it Steve, maybe after Alix is back. Thank you both for masterminding this project and to each and all involved for making it happen. This viewing has been really helping to re-inject some much needed positivity and a sense of motivation and get up and do it attitude back into my life. Thanks again, looking forward to watching this "live" going forwards. I can't believe Leo went and took the nuclear option with his solid cast bronze floors. You're both building battleships.
so great when things get that final coat of "peanut-butter" and bolted down for the last time another check-mark on the board great video guys boat looks good
It blows my mind that I've been watching you guys go at this for more than four and a half years now! Talk about patience and perseverance! OMG. Bravo, gentlemen, bravo!
Thanks to all the great people who are helping with the build and helping with filming and editing. Good luck to Bob and his family on their new venture.
Good luck Ben! Everyone here wishes you the best. Florida is a long way to travel to watch a movie but when we come up for the launching, we will certainly check y'all out. The boat is so beautiful that words fail me, thanks for letting me watch. God bless and wash your hands!
Thanks for watching!
*Thanks for the timely and knowledgeable help. Bob!*
Another great video nothing is better than watching the saws screaming and all we hear is good music ....go guys go !
Another milestone. Steve and Bob make a great team. And congratulations to the excellent editor Ben on the new chapter in his family’s story.
In these crazy times of turmoil, hate and racism, I look forward to Friday mornings to see fine, decent people working hands in hands on an awesome journey.
This is the true American spirit at it's best as we learned to like and respect by visiting, as a Canadian tourists, so many times through the years, in New England states. We always felt welcomed and secure, meeting new friends.
We wish you, Steven, Alix, Ben and all your helping friends, 🤞the very best and we hope to be able to visit soon and maybe pitch in as we can. 🤗

👍👍👍 Ben, good luck with the move, you do a great job which I know many of us here really appreciate 🥂
Good luck on your move and your daring new business venture, Ben & family. Lived in Newburyport for two short years and have fond memories of learning to sail where the river meets the incoming and outgoing tides. Loved the people and all the unique shops and businesses there and the wildlife, the Piping Plovers chasing the wrack looking for sea worms and the plethora of birds on Plum Island and the nature preserve. You're going to love it. It's been twenty years and still I miss it.
I'm always impressed with the quality of your work Steve. I can only aspire to that level of craftsmanship. Ben, I groaned when the credits popped up so quickly but moving and opening a new business is huge. I wish you success and happiness. Your editing skills here are fantastic.
Best of luck with this new adventure, Ben. These videos always bring me joy and serenity. Thank you guys!
It looks like your forms sitting out in the driveway at 15:16. I gather you're saving those in case you want to build another one! Another great, inspiring video! Thanks, Steve

Two genuine tradesmen at work, a sight to behold a joy to the eye... and do not worry mister Editor, good luck on your new location.
Another entertaining episode. Great seeing you and Bob working together!
Love seeing you and Bob collaborating, great community vibe!
Hi guys, nice to meet you Bob, Ben, no worries about the shorter episode we understand, good luck with the cinema.
Really look forward to your videos each week. You guys are amazing. Thanks for your efforts. You can see the passion
It's very enjoyable watching you two expert woodworker guys work together.
As a retired video editor I never considered operating a movie theater. What a totally cool idea. Good luck and God speed Ben.
It's warming to see a community of small boatbuilders helping each other. Please keep the friendships going and the warm videos too. Thank you for putting good content out here while the world is in chaos.

I love the video! The site and sounds of the ocean and the surf at the end, feel like the boat is dreaming.
Two true artists working together!
Also watch Bob's channel; great seeing you guys working together. Ben, BLESS YOU and your wife for taking on and probably saving an old cinema in a rural part of the country.

Nice to see Bob here giving a hand have been watching and enjoying him share how to build a boat the size that I can tackle :)
Thanks
Welcome to MA, Ben. The north shore is great.
I was surprised that there wasn't a huge celebration when the free hand drilled bolt hole came straight through the middle of the stem! Incredible craftsmanship.
Big congratulations to the editor for pulling off this week's episode in the middle of moving and starting a new business! What phenomenal dedication. Cheers from Juneau Alaska,

It helps having 4 eyes on it!
Love yaz all! I also watch Bob Emser's work. What a skilled and gentle man! Thank you all for sharing all of this with us.
One positive note about getting off of work at 6 a.,m. I get to come home and watch my FAVORITE UA-cam channel - Acorn To Arabella. Thanks Bob!
Dear boat building Acorns.
👍👌👏 Very well done again.
As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all involved people and dogs.
Thanks Ben, Bob, Steve (and Alix!). Makes me happy!
Good luck with your new venture Ben!

and finished in 2008. In case you want to see the finished product. You and your team should get a medal for perseverance.
Original music at 8:30 is probably the best you've had so far. Wonderful stuff.
5 seconds into the video... me internally YES!
Glad to see Bob Emser there helping you!!!
it was a great time.
Good luck with your movie theatre venture! Hope it works out well for you and family. Great vids BTW, thanks, cheers!

Cheers Dan! Thanks
I found it much more enjoyable to watch work scenes with just music (without out-of-sync overlaid sound effects). Hope you'll continue this way.
No worries, Ben and best of luck. These videos could be an hour long and i'd still feel like they're never long enough. Keep up the great and inspiring work.
Great work on the boat, great edit
I also subscribe to the Art of Boat Building and to see you both working on Arabella is so cool.
Congratulations with the move Ben, I'm sure you, your wife, and family are going to love the change. I love the work you're doing with Steve and documenting the vision of Arabella coming to life.
Steve, Arabella is looking amazing.
Good luck Ben!....
What exciting news, Ben. Good luck! And don't worry about the length; it's never going to be long enough for us anyway 😉
There are real gem quality pieces of wood hidden in that boat!
Project binky would be proud to see you using CAD (cardboard aided design) all you need is some funk!
i'm dying to find out what colour binky will be.
.
hopefully soon.
Amanda Gardner pink or rainbow I do believe 😉
loving that I'm not the only person interested in traditional boatbuilding and two nutters doing Tardis with a mini!
@@richcraven9207 there are plenty of us in the world, cheers from Australia.
.
since you mention TARDIS, i have a 1/2 scale Tardis in my lounge room, blinking top light and light up police box signs, the lid and one wall can be removed, it's lined with thick pile carpet and 4 shelves and a hammock, kitty can climb up on top to get away from the wolfhound.
.
i scaled down the dimensions from a 2006 (i think it was) diary/planner, i had to guess on the depths of the pieces on the front, but it worked out pretty damn nice.
I guess these brackets will just have to fill the void for now...
Way to go BEN FUNDIS. Projection rocks. But never stop cutting.
Guys this video I reckon is a small wonder, a beautiful masterpiece. Thank you, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
OMG. I LOVED THAT OLD MOVIE THEATER.
Best wishes with the new venture Ben.
The quality that you bring to the Arabella content,
will Without doubt ,
see you succeed.
Best wishes to you Ben in your cinematic endeavors!
Arabella is getting a lot of love. :)
Got some quality help there. You guys make for some very interesting and educational boat building. Thanks for sharing.
Love that music while they're planing the locust!
You are doing a tremendous job I just love wood I wish I had your energy and dedication, can’t wait to see it finished. Please continue posting videos
i'll second the comment on Wood Owl bits. They work beautifully & leave a surprisingly clean bore.
Another week closer Steve, the short one is understandable, life must go on and adaption is universal! Arabella will live, one day not to far away!
Stephen, I just wanted you and Bob Emser to know that even though neither of you know me I am thankful and appreciative that Bob came out to give you a hand for 10 days. Also.... I gave out a loud "WOOO-HOOO!" when you got the breast hooks bolted in! Progress is a beautiful thing. Thanks again, Bob.
Thanks Patman!!
I was really happy to have him with me!
Bob is a very knowledgeable guy, you are very luck to have him on your team. He seems like good people.
Thanks!
Very lucky!
Steve, if I may make a suggestion, when you start glueing the scarf joints again just wrap en electric blacket around the joint, works a treat.

One: what's an appropriate test case? I was thinking I could twist one of the arms around a bolt axis, but maybe that ridiculously unfair, because you have cross-grain shear in the solid piece vs friction in the bolted piece.
Two: how do I share these results? Should I just mail them to the arabella folks?
Many blessings Ben to you and your wife on your new endeavor. Be safe, God bless. Buena vida.
You gotta love CAD Cardboard Aided Design.
Sigh.. it never fails. Put up a video showing someone making a template from cardboard, and within minutes, somebody will make a comment about Cardboard Aided Design, as if they were among the first to think of it. Newsflash for you, people.. it's no longer witty, and EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE WORLD has already gotten the joke.
Good luck with the movie house!
Good luck with the business Ben you always kill it on the editing for these videos Im sure you will do the same with the new theatre
Good luck Ben! Fantastic to hear that you've got a great project of your own!
Best of luck with your endeavor, Ben.
Throw Alix over the side, and keep Bob. You have a true craftsman working with you, and one that you can RELY on to see the job through. Ben, welcome to the ranks of Massholes. I must say that with the COVID-19 situation you are very brave to re-open an old cinema. In any event, Newburyport is an idyllic seaside community and excellent place to raise a family.
As Steve mentioned a few weeks ago, Alix will be back soon. He got sick as a dog with pneumonia and hadn't been spending any time with his girlfriend for years. So he needed time to recover, rehab/PT, and save a relationship.
The same pleasure as usual.
It’s interesting to see how you goes within new issues.
🤙 🇫🇷
I’ll keep the champagne for you ! 🍾🍾🍾
Ben, sure we can bare with you... Welcome to MA! I lived there for 3 wonderful years and left a piece of my heart in MA!
And after binging for 11 days I've watched and liked all Acorn to Arabella videos and commented on most.
What a bizarre year we are having and likely to continue having for a while longer yet. It was with great trepidation I watched as the dates of the videos crept closer to C-day but you all put your heads down and plodded on.

Very enjoyable thanks!
Welcome to MA Ben, looking forward to getting back to the movies here
Moving you home and family and still got a video out, I am impressed!!!
Loved the outro this week. A2A is an awesome family. Keep it up !
so great when things get that final coat of "peanut-butter" and bolted down for the last time another check-mark on the board great video guys boat looks good
That was awsome, nice work. And congrats Ben!!
Awesome, glad someone came and lent a hand.
Benand family. So exciting to hear that you are taking on the movie theatre project. Take care.
Ben you have been doing a great job editing good luck with the theater.
