I really enjoyed the “behind the scenes” part showing cutting out the hull for the front door. You all really went the extra mile for your great April fool joke this time!
I have been watching this video series for quite some time now and I’ve seen several, (most), of the videos more than once. This is by far my favorite RUclips channel. Leo started out to do one good thing, and everything after that has just been remarkable. From the quality of the shipwright/apprentice staff he has assembled over the years now, to the quality of humor in his commercials and April fools pranks, to the quality of the editing in the videos and the music accompanying the videos, (I am now a huge fan of wayward Jane, thank you very much), to the quality of his humility in actually including his minor flubs and mistakes in the videos when he certainly didn’t have to, it is very difficult not to watch these videos and nearly painful to wait two weeks for the next one. So many good things came out of one good thing. If you want to learn something, watch these videos. If you want to be entertained, watch these videos. If you just want to feel good, watch these videos. A massive, massive thank you, Leo, for all of the thought and care you put into everything you do.
Leo is exceptionally modest in saying he's a 'boatbuilder and sailor' In fact he's a superb journeyman boatwright (craftsman) who's superior knowledge of boat building and the various systems that make up a boat are very special indeed. His hard work, organizational skills, and attention to details aren't seen very often these days. He's always thinking ahead which for me is a sign of a very smart person who appreciates the process (journey) as much as he appreciates the finished product. Very much enjoy watching him and his crew on their Tally Ho 'jouney'. As a sailor he's always trying to anticipate how the boat will respond to a massive number of unpredictable variables when sailing. If anyone is capable of sailing in rough seas he certainly has the skills required!
As I am getting older and watching this masterpiece called Tally Ho come to live I notice a just smile all the time seeing these young guys performing a true craft!!
Well past my youth. Watching these videos brings home the realization of how easy it was to assume that having strength, agility and energy was the default position. Does it make me envious? Yes.
Couldn't agree more. It always amazes me when I hear people complain that the skills have been lost to the younger generation, then I watch these vids and realise the ladies and gents building Tally ho have the skill in buckets. Its truly humbling to watch how good they are!
I really know nothing about boats and, to boot, a poor swimmer. I watch these videos mostly for the craftsmanship. I've always been impressed by great carpentry. This RUclips has that in spades². The affable charisma of Leo and the crew is an added plus. That boat is really a piece of classic art, with a modern twist. Instead of being displayed within a wooden frame or a display case, it will be displayed in front of the horizon.
It's great watching any of the team working. It's a bit of a treat to have one that features Leo, kinda nostalgic, harkening back to the many episodes of Leo working solo early on. Thanks all. The B B Sea productions are always good for a laugh. Take care.
Two things came to my mind watching this video,one: that any music from John Deley and the 41 Players is a perfect match for all things Tally Ho and two: that Leo's carpentry skills are masterful.
Im Not Sure Why Subject Myself to this Channel... Every couple weeks or so.... I used to think... I was a "Woodworker".... a "Perfectionist"... Simply.... Competent in a Wood Working Environment!!!! Im NOT even in The Ballpark of what these Young People are Doing!!!! Tough Pill to Swallow at 65.... and I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT VIDEO... X 1000..............................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RESPECT FOREVER!!!
When watching the craftsmanship going into this build, and the beautiful end results, I can't help thinking about the guys who built the original Tally Ho, who did it all without the use of power tools!
In such a fine and elegant boat, it would only make sense to have such a beautifully paneled door in use up front to access the chain locker. As for the Surf Shark commercial, I'm dying here. Laughing until I'm tearing up. Awesome cast for sure.
Excellent class today! The complexity of stairs of any style are grossly underrated even when you make it look like anyone could do it! if I tried this, I'd have to start with 50% more board to compensate for my mistakes, that's what make my projects cost more - 😁 But I'm paying more attention to detail by asking myself "How would Leo attack this?" and I've been doing that a couple years now. Have to say, it works and that brings more confidence.
Agreed and have drawn similar inspiration from various episodes as my refit proceeds. The preparation and attention to detail instead of picking up the saw,drill,grinder et al.
@@Anmeteor9663 Exactly. Leo is a problem solver and detailed approach planner. For example - the concave corner bevels matching the side rails. Genius. We only saw the easy part - not the building of the jig sled. That's something you don't know about until you know about it. But that shaper, scary ass tool. It's the one that spooks me more than anything with a blade. He scared me (I actually cringed) when he pulled that spacer board with it still running. I saw a piece of molding go through the metal siding of a shop I worked in long ago. Left an impression.
I love the fact that you have assembled a team of true craftsmen, some of whom (like Paddy) didn't even know what they were capable of. Well done on teaching the young colonial how to pronounce Aluminium properly 😂😂😂😂 (Paddy you are a proper star sir) I know that the videos will continue after the splash but I will definitely miss the madness and willingness of the lads to have fun and take the piss while still turning out amazing work.
I have a boat in the yard that I’ve been doing a complete refit on. Keep hoping to run into you. But , you keep the building shut up tight. Can’t blame you. People will talk your ear off. I knew Tally Ho and the previous owner well. She was a train wreck and it’s great to see her coming back to life. Have done the same with 3 sailboats.
I fast forward every content creator ad...except yours. I don't have need of a VPN but I'll gladly sit through these skits to hear Patty's tortured English accent.
I'm always reminded during these woodworking projects of the saying from somebody's novel, "His mind had already gone to this place several times before his hand touched anything" I assume before bludgeoning into teak you've been over and over the design from several angles. Nice work, at any rate.
love the april fools episodes. each one i watch without realizing it was april fools and slowly came to realize what was going on - the best way to experience them!
I remember the old dudes whining about paying $4.99/bf for kiln dried Red Oak in the early 80s, lolol. If age didn't already kill them the price of lumber today would have. One day you may regret making fun of a Makita sponsorship ;) I love jigs and this episode was jig heaven. For being a wood boat it has a LOT of amazing aluminum welds.
Its "AluminIum" not "Aluminum". After all she is a British craft. Its true what they say about Britain and the USA, 2 nations seperated by a common language. 😊
well done Leo, teaching them Westerners how to speak one's own English proper, Alu mini nini uminum innit oh and the joinery is rather stunning too - really makes you appreciate that behind every little detail, there was much head scratching, someone had to think things through, do some maths, set up jigs and use tools to the absolute best of abilities, i reckon you cracked it, i would have liked to have seen a simple inlay of bronze strips into the steps upper surface to prevent slippage, adds another quality to the build, but it will be fine, cut some lines and look like decking hehe them there tanks are super impressive - after all the nonsense of the other tanks, these really are a triumph matey
I would recommend a plastic washer or a piece of rubber or something between the stainless steel bolts and the aluminium brackets. It helps prevent galvanic corrosion
Such would sort out the lag bolts threaded into the boat's structure as would having the brackets anodized, but it won't help where the stainless bolts are threaded directly into the aluminum. Not being well versed in marine tech I'm not sure what the common solution is to that. Were it not a marine application then changing to plated steel bolts is a significant move forwards because the plating is much closer to aluminum in the eV table. Perhaps it is as simple as using silicon-bronze hardware in those locations?
@@utoobnoob7840 I recommend A4 stainless steel bolts in marine applications. Don't have to worry much about corrosion on the bolts. Where it's threaded in to other materials you will eliminate corrosion by using locktite, but it has to be used correctly. Going into a blind hold you apply locktite in the hole and it'll push out the threads when the bolt goes in. If it's a through hole you apply it to the threads on the bolt. I mainly work with marine applications, but in our case we coat everything as an added layer of protection
I love the humor everyone working on Tally Ho has, and how all employees / volunteers are so skilled and reliable to the project. I believe the door is going on the head or the captain's room. The best to all, but send out more videos more often.
Lol about the front door!! Good show passe Partout !!! Your primetime publicities are the best!! Lady Patrick!!! Uh Lala!!!!😅 The stairs divided in two!!? Of course! You need to displace it to have access to a compartment!! In my father's yacht it was smaller but to have access to the engine we needed to take it off all the stairs. Yours, is a chef d' oeuvre!! Thanks to you all again!!!😘
So much fun watching the progress of Tally Who uh I mean Tally Ho. Those aluminum brackets look awesome and those stairs! Perfecto! Thanks for sharing.
Amazing thinking back to episode 2...preparing the first site in Sequim. Times were simpler...hacking away with the humble chain saw! It's awesome to see how far you've come so far and I cannot wait to see her launch!
Once again the quality of work and craftsmanship demonstrated in your videos is simply amazing to say the least. The joinery, fit and finish of every piece is well planned and executed at every stage of the build. All the things completed or being worked on during this video were done professionally and by extremely skilled craftsmanship. Well Done!
OMG at @13:55 the mood, the camera zooming in to build suspense. I was at the edge of my seat wondering if we were going to get another grain split-out. Leo fucking killing it with the video making, this is cinematic
That's a very cool transition between step and side rail. And, very nice to see Leo doing some carpentry too! It's all looking very nice indeed, very nice :-)
I know that horizontal steps were the standard for boats of this type, but one yacht I sailed for a few years had the step only horizontal on the middle third of the step. The outer thirds turn up about 25 degrees. This meant that when heeled over, the outer part of each step was significantly less heeled and less slippery than a standard horizontal step.
Agreed, we had a Bavaria, considered a budget yacht, but the steps were exactly as you explained. Edit, probably not the middle third … probably > half was flat.
It seems that the most complicated difficult and expensive parts of the process of this build are coming up now and it's humbling to see the tenacity and dedication of the builders at their craft.
When I saw you had a sponsor I genuinely went “yes”! These are the only RUclips ads I watch, look forward to and enjoy! I hope you get many more sponsors!!
Tally Ho, Arabella, Yaba, Magic Carpet II and Finn's Ferro Rig over there are my *big five* to watch, and I've been watching 'em all since their respective get-go's...and the first three on my list are ALL scratch-builds (well, except Finns and Magic Carpet, but still!) ...respect!
It's nice to see that Leo has just as much of the master carpentry chops as the rest of the crew. The skill level of this crew is really insane!! Great steps, Leo!
I am constantly in awe of the quality of the joinery. As Leo shows us, it is the result of careful planning, and making jigs so that joints are tight and repeatable.
That was a gorgeous teak board. It's a real priviledge to be able to work with such beatiful timber, and you're doing it proud. Thanks to all for another fantastically entertaining and interesting video.
Great to see your crafsmanship being put to good use and back in front of the camera again Leo. As always showing great vission, planning, skill and patience.👍🍻
Your team has creative ideas and acting for the various spoofs and infomercials. A side career in advertising and artwork. A brief sampling of the detailed craftmanship in Tally Ho.
Hi Leo, I've been watching Tally Ho being restored for years now and as always I'm so impressed at the level of craftsmanship, each and every joint being lovingly created is a sculpture in itself and like most great woodwork I would find it very hard not feeling the textures of the fine workmanship all of you have invested into this fine vessel, The camera work and all the efforts you put into the creation of these videos are a great legacy to add to the story that is Tally Ho Also over the years just how the videos have improved are a testament of your skills as well I love how the stairs are turning out and yet again another fine example of the you possess and the love and attention you are putting into her, Thank you again for sharing this build with me and I wish you trouble free completion for the remainder of the restoration. Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
Being a furniture woodworker myself I really admire the excellent skills of Leo and his crew. Though we ofc won't see the real blobs and outtakes, in the end the all turn out as masterpieces.
As an engineer and a boater, I laid awake a couple of nights wondering what the hell went south with you, Leo. Got me good! I used to lay awake at night trying to resolve design problems that were plaguing me; aerospace hardware has to be done right. You got me good... Crimony! Love you man.
I like the way Leo is fitting out the interior. He is keeping it basic and workman like. Only building what is necessary. A good example of function over form.
I was thinking, here we go again... another ad.. then I remembered. Wahoooo what shenanigans have they been up to, this week. Dutchess of Desire, my heart throb. Well done.
I was howling with laughter when I watched the scene of you cutting in your “door” with a chain saw. Good stuff Leo! Dang, that was an awesome piece of teak you cut up for the stairs…. Worth a kings ransom.
It brings back memories of the teak staircase my dad had made for the house he built in the 60s. The man who made it was dying and the stairs were his swan song. Even as a kid I was impressed and my dad couldn’t bring himself to drill the holes for the wrought iron balustrades so the stairs were left open, quite a risk for my younger sister! I wish I had pictures of it.
It must be comforting for Leo to know that if it doesn’t work out with Tally Ho, he can simply walk into pretty much any engineering position at NASA. The guy’s incredible.
The attention to the smallest of details is as always fantastic and this yacht will have all of this to show off for many years to come. I loved the ditty that Patric and Neil did ... you lot have too much fun while working, keep up the fantastic work.
This series is a master class in: tireless leadership, drive and energy; passionate commitment to an ideal; and superior quality craftsmanship. It is a joy to behold Tally Ho being revitalized by the hands, hearts and minds of Leo and crew.
These little ad sketches are getting more hilarious with every episode!
This one was too funny. So cringey! 😂😂😂🤦
That was good - No shame in them guys LOL! Patrick has developed an affinity for those golden locks of planer shavings. Nice shaving btw 👍
I just watch the videos for the ad sketches hahaha
I'm kidding, but they are awesome
I can live with advertising when it’s done this way: taking the p*ss on advertising itself. Very effective. I now might buy something I utterly don’t need because of it. Thanks…
🤣
I'm beginning to look at Tally Ho as a floating piece of fine furniture. Such is the skill of all involved. Again...well done sir.
A boat like this is like having a fine piece of hand made furniture that you keep in the ocean.
It is, just the framing which is now mostly hidden is perfect.
Hope we see her sailing all over the planet someday.
@@TermiteUSA I've been hoping that too, if it comes to New Zealand I'll be sure to travel out of my way to see it
Beautiful yes. Practical no. Wood as fuel is not a good idea. Single head is imminent hardship. Look at all the other blue water channels.
I hope that Patrick and Neil are up for The Oscar next year. Their performances are superlative.
I would have gone with "explitive", but "superlative" will work, too.
Patrick and Nick.
Balderdash!
Was that the Duchess or the Tally "Ho" ?
Top notch! 👏 👏 👏

There's so much going on had to watch it several times to catch everything.
The step to riser joint is just insane even by TallyHo standards!
Blows my mind. Some of the nicest and most complex joinery I’ve seen. It’s stunning.
Love the Monty Python-ish way you plug the products, makes it way more bearable to watch! Doing an awesome job on the boat as well!

It's nice to see that Leo has just as much of the master carpentry chops as the rest of the crew. The skill level of this crew is really insane!! Great steps, Leo!
I am constantly in awe of the quality of the joinery. As Leo shows us, it is the result of careful planning, and making jigs so that joints are tight and repeatable.
Really nice attention to detail on the stairs… and those aluminum tank brackets are works of art. Very nice welds 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
By far the most creative Surfshark ad I‘ve seen to date 😂 Y‘all should be in ad consulting after the boat finishes!
That was a gorgeous teak board. It's a real priviledge to be able to work with such beatiful timber, and you're doing it proud. Thanks to all for another fantastically entertaining and interesting video.
A master class on jig use. My wife and I make jigs for just about every project we build. If we know we will build it again we keep them.
Great to see your crafsmanship being put to good use and back in front of the camera again Leo. As always showing great vission, planning, skill and patience.👍🍻
Mate. I watched that advert skit 3 times. Bloody gold. The wood shavings wig had me gasping for air.
The April fools gag was great. You guys were the only channel I watch to have some fun with the day!
Try the Lockpicking Lawyer, he is hilarious!
I've watched you from the beginning and your commercials are becoming the best part of the show
Your team has creative ideas and acting for the various spoofs and infomercials. A side career in advertising and artwork. A brief sampling of the detailed craftmanship in Tally Ho.
Hi Leo, I've been watching
Tally Ho being restored for years now and as always I'm so impressed at the level of craftsmanship, each and every joint being lovingly created is a sculpture in itself and like most great woodwork I would find it very hard not feeling the textures of the fine workmanship all of you have invested into this fine vessel,
The camera work and all the efforts you put into the creation of these videos are a great legacy to add to the story that is Tally Ho
Also over the years just how the videos have improved are a testament of your skills as well
I love how the stairs are turning out and yet again another fine example of the you possess and the love and attention you are putting into her,
Thank you again for sharing this build with me and I wish you trouble free completion for the remainder of the restoration.

Being a furniture woodworker myself I really admire the excellent skills of Leo and his crew. Though we ofc won't see the real blobs and outtakes, in the end the all turn out as masterpieces.
As an engineer and a boater, I laid awake a couple of nights wondering what the hell went south with you, Leo. Got me good! I used to lay awake at night trying to resolve design problems that were plaguing me; aerospace hardware has to be done right.
You got me good... Crimony! Love you man.
The joinery on the stairs is fantastic Leo, a work of art
I like the way Leo is fitting out the interior. He is keeping it basic and workman like. Only building what is necessary. A good example of function over form.
Cant wait for the next episode of Dutchess of desire! Oh man, i haven't laughed that hard in a long time!
I’m very impressed with Joe, who knows boats and knows best practices. Great job Joe!
Again, beautiful cabinetry on the stairs. They are a work of art!
I was thinking, here we go again... another ad.. then I remembered. Wahoooo what shenanigans have they been up to, this week. Dutchess of Desire, my heart throb. Well done.
I fell for the front door bit so hard. Well done!
The precision in those companion way steps is as beautiful as the result. Loved that Leo.
Leo, what a perfect job you did on that stairs. This shows craftmanship!
It must have been really satisfying to get back on the tools; especially with such an intricate, important and visible project. Well done!
I was howling with laughter when I watched the scene of you cutting in your “door” with a chain saw. Good stuff Leo!
Dang, that was an awesome piece of teak you cut up for the stairs…. Worth a kings ransom.
He's used so much I suspect it only rates as a Duchess's ransom in this episode.
It brings back memories of the teak staircase my dad had made for the house he built in the 60s. The man who made it was dying and the stairs were his swan song. Even as a kid I was impressed and my dad couldn’t bring himself to drill the holes for the wrought iron balustrades so the stairs were left open, quite a risk for my younger sister! I wish I had pictures of it.
With the level of craftsmanship on Tally Ho, it is basically a fine cabinet with sails!
Your homemade jigs, look nicer than some of my finished projects😄
"a jig and a router" was a stock phrase in my cabinet making course! great stuff.
It must be comforting for Leo to know that if it doesn’t work out with Tally Ho, he can simply walk into pretty much any engineering position at NASA. The guy’s incredible.
Swedgelock is amazing to work with, good to know only the best is used in Talleyho.
Leo's imagination made real by his wood-worjing expertise is just brilliant. Thank you!!
Can't wait for Season 2 of Duchess of Desire.
Been watching your channel from day one and I love the added levity and humor!
Lastly the music at the end as Leo puts the stairs together feels like Gospel Fitting as those stairs look like they belong in a sacred space.
I completely was furious about that front door, and why you cut hole in that place 😭😭😆
The attention to the smallest of details is as always fantastic and this yacht will have all of this to show off for many years to come. I loved the ditty that Patric and Neil did ... you lot have too much fun while working, keep up the fantastic work.
This series is a master class in: tireless leadership, drive and energy; passionate commitment to an ideal; and superior quality craftsmanship. It is a joy to behold Tally Ho being revitalized by the hands, hearts and minds of Leo and crew.
Those commercials are gold!
