Congratulations to Pete and Cathy at the Port Townsend Foundry and hats off to them for allowing Leo to cast using his team, making it more affordable......well done! Your contribution will last forever!
Simon, a good reminder that none of us got to our present position without support. Leo has a vision and we support him. I have learned so many techniques by watching these vids, my new favorite is how he pares the edge of lap joints down to the line then shaves off the middle so one won't cut too deep during a busy session!
I've worked in and been around wooden boat building half my life and I've seen some old timers with thousands of hours of experience building wooden boats and I can say without qualification you and the guys at Acorn to Arabella are doing a level of quality NEVER seen in wooden boat building. I'm willing to bet that boats once built for royalty didn't have the same quality of workmanship and attention to details you guys have. Your projects will do down in history as the finest examples of the craft.
Yes, I would say the freedom to not have to "finish on time" and make another boat really helps. I will never look at a wooden boat the same way again after this and "Tips from a Shipwright" . This is the very definition of fine craftsmanship. I am a carpenter and humbled by both. I'll travel a long way to see Tally Ho, I hope it comes to the East Coast! The castings look like they are pure 24K gold, which to me they are worth far more than then their weight in gold. This is unbelievable. I like how viewers are all pitching in to make it happen (someone literally MADE a rivet machine so he could MAKE copper rivets, GEEZ!). This is a golden age of You Tube we are experiencing. You see there could not be 10X the Acorn to Arabella, Tally-Ho, Salt and Tar, (check out Sailing Chuffed, a young vet saving animals and an aluminum sailboat, one of my favorites She deserves more of a following). The funding would be more diluted, these projects are the first. Leo is truly a ground-breaker. He Literally said "you know what, I'll try". He believed he could, and we see he CAN and has, and IS. Like I said, I'm awed and humbled by such force of nature some possess.
@@edwardschmitt5710 One thing that people don't think about when it comes to experienced tradesman is that they know how to make things look good even if they aren't perfect. I saw it all the time in boatyards and it's how profit is squeezed out of many trades. That's not to say it's wrong. If it works as required then so what but ask most of them and they would prefer their work to be perfect. Of course most of my experience was dealing with workboats where utility and function took priority over appearance. However even when we were doing yachts the cosmetics were usually not structural. That's where these projects differ. The beauty IS structural and functional. That's what I define as quality and it's very hard to achieve with complete success. I've seen these guys do things that veterans would've ignored and prettied up with various tricks of the trade. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying they aren't experienced tradesman, they might have started out inexperienced but they aren't anymore, just that they are showing us how it's ideally supposed to be done but usually isn't.
@@tonyrmathis Yes I do know what you mean, compromise. As a tradesmen I strive for perfection, but in doing that my work may fall down a notch to excellent, sometimes due to $ its is just good, which I hate. Thing is when you set the bar at "good enough" you may go down a notch to crap. I like my clients with money who appreciate fine work. Mostly I work for people who just want it fixed and looking decent.
There is the Professional, and then there is the Amateur. Amateur has it's root in Latin, Amare, to love. That's why Amateurs will spend a lot of time, money and yes - love - on what they are doing, where the pro at the end of the day has to put food on the table.
When asked what caused his hair to look the way it did Albert Einstein is reported to have replied "Neglect". lol I think Leo is comfortable in his "neglect". Ok, I have a question. Will the floors be bolted to the ribs (in addition to the keel)? I didn't notice any holes drilled into the upper part of the floor in preparation.
@@HWPcville From watching Acorn to Arabella's planking, the bolts or rivets will go through planks, ribs and floors. But yes, do kinda wonder why not drill the holes in the floors now with the drill press.
The dog sleeps. The Parrot rocks to the rythm of the beat, the chickens gossip and argue..while you guys n gals work your asses off.. I love it. Can't wait to see you all sail off into the sunset ..That's when the fun begins.
I started watching this video 45 mins after it had been uploaded. When I had finished, 27 mins later, there was almost 12,000 views ! Fabulous project, and fabulous videos.
IDK how but my wife and I found you from the very start of this with you buying the boat without much of a concrete plan of how you'd tackle her. Since then we've enjoyed this channel with everything you've decided and all the numerous people you've had lending a hand in their own unique ways. We see you're now turning another corner with how she will ultimately come together and look forward to each upcoming episode. Thanks to you Leo, and company, she'll soon enough look dashing again on the open seas.
I just wish to say that Pete and his wife and crew are great folks. What a nice guy Pete is, and patient. I hope Port Townsend Foundry receives a bounty of work from this channel. (From a patrón)
I’m a tradesman and I’m in awe of all of everyone’s accomplishments. I love all the talent of the skills contributed to this project and especially the focus from Leo as a leader bringing it all together.
So after the last episode EP82 I went back to look at some old shows. I randomly chose EP11 "Demolishing the Deck" an low and behold Leo is talking to Bob about Floors. At 8:45 Leo "It would be really nice to cast bronze floors, that would be the best of the best, uh, but it would be really expensive". Bob "Learn how to cast metal man." HAHAHAHAHAHAAA. After watching the last floor being cast it was just too surreal. Fantastic job guys and gals you've come full circle with the floors lets keep going.
Good evening to those who also kept refreshing to see if Leo had posted yet! depends where you are on the lobe! I am in South Africa and avidly follow what is going on in the Sampson boat yard. It is just after 6 pm here.
good morning to you while i do wait for eps i dont need to be the first to view or comment im happy to wait until the time is right lol.. sat is a busy youtube upload day and most of us have a few to look forward to ... is it me or is the advertising getting worse ?
It's great to see all the different folks coming out to help! Different characters from differing backgrounds coming together to help get this grand lady back where she belongs. And in a shape that is worthy of a seaborn museum. Thank you Leo! Great series!
It is impossible to follow this series of enthralling and consummate episodes without drawing parallels with the restoration and reconstructions of Edwardian (Am. Brass era )automobiles of the same era ,with its emphasis and intricacies of high-end craftsmanship, attention to every detail, superb carpentry and casting procedures, and veneration of pioneering achievements of the early 20th century. Belated congrats on what is probably one of the best series on RUclips .

Spent yesterday hanging out in Seguid! We had a picnic in a small park in town. My granddaughter was having a ball on the beach where you celebrated your last poor! It’s a nice little town! I had a great pastrami sandwich from the sandwich shop for dinner, got to wade in the salt water with my grand daughter. Life doesn’t get much better than that young man. I,d like take this opportunity to thank you and your crew for sharing this great experience in you life’s! Leo I no the sailors prayer would more appropriate, but today I’d like to leave you with this one in particular! May the road rise up to met you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face;the rain fall soft upon your fields. May God hold you and yours in the palm of his hand and protect you from harm!
Loved the obsessive hammered heads on the knees......which could become a signiture design jewel carried over throughout the visible living spaces. Handsome and beautiful for decades to come...
try a pneumatic palm hammer for those rivets... they are super cheap these days and will let you get into tight spots that are hard to swing a hammer. you might have to round over the head, but shouldn't be too hard to do. good luck - looks great!
Something like this one www.amazon.com/Metabo-HPT-NH90AB-Over-molded-Connectors/dp/B07MSL5X4W/ref=sr_1_3?crid=XH0O141XO9FR&dchild=1&keywords=palm+nailers+for+framing&qid=1602955385&sprefix=palm+nailer%2Caps%2C250&sr=8-3
Leo, your crew have done a fantastic job. None of the work is easy. Everyone of your team deserves high praise for maintaining the very highest standards of work. It's exceptional. Nobody is taking any short-cuts.
By using the lost foam casting technique, the foam core could have been formed directly on the boat reducing the carpentry work substantially and gaining precision with much less fitting effort and much less grinding. There is always a next time.
@@hernanposnansky7154 Im not familiar with lost foam casting but i assume you leave the foam in the cope/drag of the sand casting mold. Does that introduce inclusions and impurities into the casting making it weaker?
what an education your videos have been i had no idea how much work went into build a boat above the normal woodworking that most people thought it was all about
Waiting for this for two long weeks 🏁👍🍺 That’s some serious wooden boat bling with polished knees with copper rivets along with bronze floors completely through bolted with copper bolts. Please have the foundry cast up some Tally Ho bronze little commemorative plaques and offer them up.
The attention to detail on this build is amazing. But it’s not just the attention to detail it’s the going in depth and explaining why their doing it that way and not another way and how they need to do it because this and this or this and that can happen. I’m learning so much. I want to go out and build my own sail boat now lol. Keep it up team Tally Ho.
I'm 65 and your music is what I remember my dad playing as a kid, Big Band. Then you moved it forward 80 years. Not to take away from your boat making ability, but I approve of your choice of music.
Another great video, Emmy, Oscar ? RUclipss best of the best, featuring a fine cast along the incredible Inspector Green, Starring Leo the preeminent builder of fine seagoing vessels.
On your last floor instal how about date and put everyone's name engraved on it that has worked on your boat making them part of it for ever, just a thought.
So I have finally caught up and watched the whole series to date, great job and my compliments to all concerned. Imagine doing that without power tools, but then imagine building a light house out of granite without a crane.
If you make a simple ball nose punch from 3/4” steel stock you can greatly minimize the miss hits on the rivet head. Your hammer control is then less critical.
Bless you you are such a skilled Craftsman and your attention to detail is unbelievable. This is going to be one amazing sailing yacht reborn thanks to you.
*Wonderful work by all. The beauty of the polished bronze will be lauded by all deep into the future generations. The hidden strength of energy of all who did this chore of art will keep the boat fair when nothing else could. And it is always so good to see you moving forward talent, Leo.* *Could this help with the backing-plate for the gorgeous copper riveting work? Add a mass of weight to the backside of the backing plant jig, and carry appropriate large hardwood wood blocks to hang off the opposite side and then wedge tight with smaller Long hardwood wedge shaped shims. But then I know you know this, so why didn't that work I wonder.*
Congrats on the (metal) casting milestone. Pancho footage is always welcome. Oooooh! planking soon. As always, primo content, great editing and videography. Shoot! I've been a dodgy driver for a long time. I don't need no stinkin' school.
Excellent work going on there Leo & Congrats on getting those castings done! As a long time viewer & supporter of this amazing rebuild, I always look forward to your update videos! I would also encourage everyone who watches these videos to become a patron & support this project..... 👍👍😉😉
If I need help moving equipment, I am pretty sure I would be looking for Shawn Evans not the smart-ass who calls out Shawn on spelling. But if I have any spelling or grammar questions I guess I will hit up platonicsolid.
Hi Leo, Just found your channel last week and has just finished bing watching all 83 episodes and looking forward to the next. Very enjoyable and informative, thank you. Best channel on RUclips!
Leo I assume you know the way to soften copper is cherry red then rapid cool in water. You can repeat many times as the copper work hardened if needed . It’s a good trick too soften copper washers if you have to reuse on banjo fuel/oil line fittings , Cheers Warren
Is the work hardening the reason the rivet fractures at the edge while peening? Would he want to peen it while cherry red and then rapid cool with water? Or would he need to heat it till cherry red and rapid cool it multiple times during the peening process?
Daniel is going to be a very very very good craftsperson in casting one day. Great to see his journey in pouring begin today. Tally Ho touches so many people on their journeys through life.
Harbor freight makes (sells) an air chisel with a peening head (or you could fab one up) that will make that go a lot quicker. You are going to be doing a lot of them. It will literally save you hours of hammering.
Air chisels are too harsh for riveting. You need a riveting gun, which is about four to five times the cost. Sometimes you can get a used one but you have to be careful, the control valves wear which is expensive to repair.
@@GregoryVeizades Turning it down works to a point but depending on the chisel, the tool stops working when either the air flow or the air pressure is not large enough to operate the cylinder inside. For soft materials like copper, brass, bronze etc. the point of non-operation comes long before the point of destructively damaging the rivet. There is a reason for riveting guns to exist. If you hit a soft material too hard it will split (tear) sometimes internally where you cannot see it and then it will fail when the load exceeds the weakened head area.
All of the collective love and well deserved pride of a job well done is shining through. Ladies and Gentlemen I bow to your dedication. Please carry on!
You really should develop better system for hammering rivets. From the one you did at the end of the episode it seems like you damaged beautifully polished lodging knee. It would be a shame to see these knees damaged all around the boat. Unless that is the look you going for.
Congratulations to Pete and Cathy at the Port Townsend Foundry and hats off to them for allowing Leo to cast using his team, making it more affordable......well done! Your contribution will last forever!

I thought that when he will have his own shipyard he was going to say he will place a huge order with the Townsend Foundry...

I love the cast of characters in your videos. And oh, I guess the human beings working on the boat are interesting too.
She is going to be an absolute beauty! The attention to detail you guys put in and the depth of planning exercised are exemplary!
these videos get me so stoked for what it will look like finished
Lovely work Leo! Shes going to be a masterpiece when finished
So I have finally caught up and watched the whole series to date, great job and my compliments to all concerned. Imagine doing that without power tools, but then imagine building a light house out of granite without a crane.
Leo should change his occupations with every video, "Hi, my name is Leo, I'm a barber and semi-professional wrestler" etc.
On April 1 at least.
and he needs to add teacher to his list
Don't forget the driving instructor!
Thank you Pete and Cathy at the Port Townsend Foundry for all your help. Amazing dedication to your project Leo and team, keep it up.
Going to be something once the planking is on, will be about how you found her, just with everything as good or better than new.
This is an amazing thought. That will be great to see.
The boat really is stunning
If you make a simple ball nose punch from 3/4” steel stock you can greatly minimize the miss hits on the rivet head. Your hammer control is then less critical.
Bless you you are such a skilled Craftsman and your attention to detail is unbelievable. This is going to be one amazing sailing yacht reborn thanks to you.
That looked like a lot of thicknessing effort just for a lunch table 😜
*Wonderful work by all. The beauty of the polished bronze will be lauded by all deep into the future generations. The hidden strength of energy of all who did this chore of art will keep the boat fair when nothing else could. And it is always so good to see you moving forward talent, Leo.*
*Could this help with the backing-plate for the gorgeous copper riveting work? Add a mass of weight to the backside of the backing plant jig, and carry appropriate large hardwood wood blocks to hang off the opposite side and then wedge tight with smaller Long hardwood wedge shaped shims. But then I know you know this, so why didn't that work I wonder.*
I would buy “Leo’s dodgy driving school” and Leo’s dodgy boat building school” t-shirts in a heart beat.
The Facebook rules say there are good reasons for not merchandising but I don't know what they are.
VERY NICE WORK.....THE LODGING KNEES ARE GOING TO LOOK SWEET WITH THE HAND PINNED RIVETS
Congrats on the (metal) casting milestone. Pancho footage is always welcome. Oooooh! planking soon. As always, primo content, great editing and videography. Shoot! I've been a dodgy driver for a long time. I don't need no stinkin' school.
I cant believe anyone would give your videos a thumbs down. Keep up all the great work.
21:17 - the apprehensive look on his face as he's greasing his bolt shaft says it all
Another wonderful episode. Superb cinematography.
Sweet, a John Hartford cover in this week’s soundtrack!
Excellent work going on there Leo & Congrats on getting those castings done! As a long time viewer & supporter of this amazing rebuild, I always look forward to your update videos! I would also encourage everyone who watches these videos to become a patron & support this project..... 👍👍😉😉
Leo good sir.. put you planer on a turntable. Board goes through spin the planer... the amount of labour saved is stunning.
Sandra, is that a thing? I've never seen it done, sounds honestly good.
@@bob_frazier i saw it done somewhere. They had a big planer on a lazy susan kind of thing.
@@bob_frazier just such a thing can be seen in the "Western Flyer" restoration. Although I warn you that channel is another rabbit hole.
@@markallison4794 Mark!!! Thank you for the rabbit 🐇 hole!
Looks cool with the tool marks. Makes people realize how much hand work was done to build this boat originally and now.
On the planer the black bars are there to use forklift to move it. Pulling on the the table can miss a-line it.
Shall we assume you never had the opportunity to read the word 'align' before, or misalign ?
@@manifold1476 he eats spicy wings for a living, leave him alone
Had the same thought.
@@manifold1476 to me it looks he interpreted the meaning of align to be "to put in a line with" wich would lead to that spelling.
If I need help moving equipment, I am pretty sure I would be looking for Shawn Evans not the smart-ass who calls out Shawn on spelling. But if I have any spelling or grammar questions I guess I will hit up platonicsolid.
Hi Leo,
Just found your channel last week and has just finished bing watching all 83 episodes and looking forward to the next. Very enjoyable and informative, thank you.
Best channel on RUclips!
Leo I assume you know the way to soften copper is cherry red then rapid cool in water.
You can repeat many times as the copper work hardened if needed . It’s a good trick too soften copper washers if you have to reuse on banjo fuel/oil line fittings , Cheers Warren
Is the work hardening the reason the rivet fractures at the edge while peening? Would he want to peen it while cherry red and then rapid cool with water? Or would he need to heat it till cherry red and rapid cool it multiple times during the peening process?
@@CGwerx Yes it hardens while being shaped,and the more it is shaped the more brittle it becomes. No, you do not work copper when hot.
The extra work on the bronze seems well worth it. They look amazing, and always will!
I'm trying to send Leo an air palm nailer for driving in those close rivets.
Every other Saturday is a waste until we see what Leo has been doing.
Good call. Are any of them strong enough to peen the heads?
What a gorgeous sunset.
Clark has low key been resolutely grinding for like two months now
Luck guy, he must be young.
such a rare insight to the creation of a masterpiece....simple fantastic
I noticed that Pete opened the Fizz properly, popping the bottle just looses the gas. Pete already high in my estimation just went up another notch.
Can't WAIT to see the planking go up and her take shape
Daniel is going to be a very very very good craftsperson in casting one day. Great to see his journey in pouring begin today. Tally Ho touches so many people on their journeys through life.
Leo is a great teacher! He explains things very well and logically. Everything looks fantastic! Well done guys.
One turning the bottle upside down, then back up, also creates the perfect amount of cork propellant. There is more than one way to skin a cat.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever
Harbor freight makes (sells) an air chisel with a peening head (or you could fab one up) that will make that go a lot quicker.
You are going to be doing a lot of them. It will literally save you hours of hammering.
Air chisels are too harsh for riveting. You need a riveting gun, which is about four to five times the cost. Sometimes you can get a used one but you have to be careful, the control valves wear which is expensive to repair.
@@simongroot7147 Turn the pressure down and you are fine. I've done quite a lot of it on the small scale stuff.
@@GregoryVeizades Turning it down works to a point but depending on the chisel, the tool stops working when either the air flow or the air pressure is not large enough to operate the cylinder inside. For soft materials like copper, brass, bronze etc. the point of non-operation comes long before the point of destructively damaging the rivet. There is a reason for riveting guns to exist. If you hit a soft material too hard it will split (tear) sometimes internally where you cannot see it and then it will fail when the load exceeds the weakened head area.
All of the collective love and well deserved pride of a job well done is shining through. Ladies and Gentlemen I bow to your dedication. Please carry on!
the only thing missing is cecca with some smiles and meals for the gang
What happend to leos girlfriend.?
@@nofoxgiven6315 Think about it for a moment: Covid, there is a travel ban into the US...
I’m really missing the wonderful Cecca. Leo must be bereft. So hoping she will be back soon.
It is really refreshing to see normal folks with normal personalities working together towards extraordinary goals. You have a fantastic team!
26:05 after all that polishing, pein dents for posterity :-)
they are called "apprentice marks".
Ya'll really punched out that foundry work in great form! Congratulations!!
You really should develop better system for hammering rivets. From the one you did at the end of the episode it seems like you damaged beautifully polished lodging knee. It would be a shame to see these knees damaged all around the boat. Unless that is the look you going for.
