I've found "Acorn to Arabella" [2] to be a wonderful series/channel so far - "building a 38’ sailboat from stump to ship".

"People building things" is easily my favorite genre on YouTube. Old things [0, 1, 2], new things [3, 4], useless things [5], repairing things [6] - all fantastic.

Man, I can't watch acorn to Arabella after watching them pour that lead keel. That was super dangerous and irresponsible.

Yeah, there were almost certainly far better ways to do that. Not to mention they now have two lead keels, since they haven't done anything with Victoria's... (But I don't remember if they had bought Victoria as a parts ship yet when doing the Arabella pour)

They have seemed to start taking PPE more seriously in recent episodes though, at least for welding bronze.

Victoria had an iron keel.

Well that certainly explains why it wasn't melted down to contribute to Arabella's lead keel then
