Graham talks about one of the more mysterious, or at least difficult to conceptualize, parts of boat building: the keel rabbet. Bearding line, apex line... see the carving tools he's preferring these days. Another Mohonk skiff is about to go out, the Herreshoff 12 1/2 is ready for delivery, but a bottom for a brand new Surf Dory is already laid out. Ever onward. *** A National Historic Landmark and working museum, Lowell’s is dedicated to preserving and perpetuating the art and craft of wooden boat building. In our boatbuilding and shop update videos, we're hoping to take you inside our living museum where we build new boats for clients, restore boats for other museums, and provide a space for events and on-the-water programs for all ages. Our museum is open for guided and self-guided tours. Visit http://lowellsboatshop.org/ to see how you can become a member, attend a program, or get involved in boatbuilding workshops.
