I came across this website/project a few weeks ago and thought others might be interested to watch some of the 66 YouTube videos created so far  http://www.acorntoarabella.com/   The videos tell the story of two guys building a 38 foot boat using timber they have milled with an aim to one day sail it around the world.

I knew an old English guy in France who built a 25-30' boat by hand.
He sailed it for a few years, got bored with it and set to it with a sledgehammer.
He called me in to finish off the skeleton with a chainsaw.
He wanted to put the mahogany through his wood burner.
Some people...

People have been committed to the nuthouse for less than that. Total insanity.
