EPISODE 133
In this video we finally get the batteries installed in the boat! But first we have to build the battery locker and a heavy-duty purple heart rack to hold them. We also install a lot of sole boards, bunk-sides, and a secret locker…
There are also a few important announcements, including an open house during the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival - Saturday 10th September, 10am - 1pm, @ Port Townsend Boat Haven.

The Battery Bank! (EP133)
Pete is a highly skilled man and a great character. He'll be missed around there.
and he is no longer camera shy too.... have fun Pete...
He just couldn't take one more "what are you doing?" 😔 j/k
Great bloke.
@@DrinksInHighPlaces I expect Leo will track him down with his camera and a 'Whatcha doin Pete'
Not only that, Pete is funny as f**k. I'll miss seeing him.
Funny... I was emotional about losing the forklift and then learn Pete is leaving. For anyone who has watched these videos from the beginning, we know how that little forklift did GREAT things and that the quirky young man who can turn his feet backwards was an integral part of this journey. "What'cha doin Pete?" will forever be in my mind. I've no idea what project drew him but I hold you to your promise Leo... we need you to catch up with him so we can all get our Pete fix. If he has a social media account about his life, I'd love a link to that as well...
I also am appreciating Patrick's longevity and his ever deepening skills as a shipwright. I love his presence. His work in this episode is quite fine... he's learned from the masters around him and makes a great contribution. LOVED this episode as well. Thanks Leo... the check in is the mail... 🤪
Absolutely well said.
Thanks Curtis for your pitch-perfect comment. Nothing lasts forever; people move on; and yet I’m feeling quite sad about Pete’s departure from the project….
My thoughts exactly
Should have just consulted all the internet 'experts'.....
Godspeed Pete. Whether you like it or not, you have won the hearts of many. cheers
Hey Pete, whatchu doin‘?
😜
You’re the best!
Short and sweet! The exact opposite of Pete. 😂 I know we will see him again.
It's not an easy life without two pins, summer heat adds to the challenge.
Where can I click to subscribe to Pete's channel?
I STRONGLY SECOND THIS
It's a pity Pete is no longer there. Among others, he really pushed the project forward significantly. It was a pleasure to watch him at work. We will also lack his special humor. Strong guy. All the best for him!
We will miss especially the passion of his takes and interviews with which he explained everybody the intricacies of the job at hand! The zeal he used to pass to interested viewers exotic woodworking techniques without awkwardness. A real Jay Leno of the planers! 😉
Leo: *crafting wood into a symphony of artisan sailing yacht*
me: what a master craftsman
Leo: *uses back of impact as a hammer*
me, wiping a tear from my eye: a true craftsman
Amen, truly Blessed by God with his other level skills.
Made me laugh. I noticed it too.
Every tool has a hammer side.
Hammer drill...
Haha, I do exactly the same thing. Just not on an awesome boat. 😔🤣
Will definitely miss seeing Pete. He IS quite the character.
I know it's silly. He doesn't know me and I don't personally know him but it would have been really nice for him to say goodbye on Camara. But I do know he doesn't like being on camera.
@@gizmobunnybear6079 He's not far away so with luck we will catch up with him at times in future.
must have a better paid job on hand I guess.
Kinda weird they didn't even say goodbye on camera or anything. Maybe Pete should do his own channel if he's into it.
@@gizmobunnybear6079 I know I’m so sad about now being able to see him say goodbye.
So sad that Pete has gone, he's been an absolute star. I think that everyone who follows this project has taken him to their hearts both for his character and his skills.
Absolutely, super sad to hear he's going. He seems like one of those truly genuine and kind souls.
Oh no!
Well said
Couldn't agree more
I remember when Pete first came onto the project. He was so hesitant around the camera (for good reason), then he finally began to warm up and his personality was revealed like the layers of an onion. As each layer was pulled back I grew more fond of seeing him around the project. So sad to see him go but I’m sure he’s onto the things he feels he should be doing. Good luck Pete.
Pete! You’re a true son of Missouri and we’ve really learned a lot from you and your story. You will be missed, and never forgotten!
I was hoping he's be one of the crew when they finally take off - Pancho & Pete!
I did not expect it, Pete is going to be missed! And Pancho will, and should be on at least sea trials, he has earned it!
Looking forward to the Pete-stalking clips since we all want to know "Pete, what are you doing?" Regardless of where he's being famously interupted.
Can’t say it any better 👆🏻
@@IanJames56 Ahem, Pancho is a lady!
Definitely would like to see more of Pete. He has become "permanently" attached to the Tally Ho family and its legacy!!! Thank you Pete for all your many skilled contributions!!! Your name and contributions are indelibly etched into the history of this vessel!!!
It feels like Pete has been there almost since the beginning. His legacy is all over that boat.
Patrick has tenure now and he’ll certainly do Santa Fe proud!
A boat-builder and a sailor and a producer and a videographer and an editor and a music producer and a designer and a project-manager and ship-wright and treasurer and a a boss and a mentor. This has to be the very best RUclips channel ever. This series would make a very good docuentary feature film. PBS, are you listening? I spent a lot of years in advertising making TV commercials and I dont think some viewers appreciate how special and supremely professional this channel really is. Thank you Leo and crew (and Pete) for the ongoing pleasure that is Sampson Boat Co.
PBS? Guy has bills to pay.
oh yes we do....just managing personnel on any site is a handful at the best of times
You missed the most important skill: He's forklift certified!
@@phuzz00 Indeed.
And a gifted Pancho wrangler to boot.
Y
Seriously impressed with how far Patrick has come. Serious skills dude.
Indeed
me too... his level of carpentry... I had no idea!!! Impressive for sure... He has come along way... or I just wasn't picking up on how talented he is in previous videos... Regardless... a Joy to watch his Craftsmanship !!!!!
@@bertplank8011 and you're slightly unenthusiastic...
I was just thinking the same thing watching this video - from miscellaneous jobs guy to a budding skilled shipwright!
@@davidc6510 Boat building Journeyman
Pete, I have suffered from chronic foot pain for many years. At times it's been very difficult to live an active life not only physically but also mentally. When you told your back story I found it moving. I'm sure things are not always easy for you but your resilience and determination is inspirational to all who are suffering in any way. Best wishes Ian
You’ve got to love a craftsman who uses feeler gauges to check his joints are tight in one frame, then hammers a screw into its hole with the back of the drill in the next! Good luck to Pete in his new endeavours.
It's what's known as a hammer drill ! 😜
17:17 and 18:09 for those who care to revisit.
@@cliveburton8992 It could be called too a soon to be broken drill...😩
Holy Crap. LEO used the drill as a hammer not Pete! WTF ?
He did it TWICE !!! Disillusioned. Badly.
I'll be honest I think watching you develop inexperienced people like Patrick into incredible craftsmen has been one of my favorite parts of this series. Just looking at the change in skill and confidence from the beginning of him working on the project to now really shows how much hard work pays off.
Pete has been a real positive character in your vids. So far. Best of luck for Pete in the future, hope we can catch up with him from time to time in the future!
Pete will be missed...as Leo would say "a massive, massive" understatement.
Extremely sad to see Pete go. All the best for the future and your time on Tally Ho was inspiring. Cheers, David from England.
I watch a LOT of these boat rebuilds. This one stands out for the sheer beauty of the work, the craftsmanship is truly outstanding. Pete has been a part of that, a true character and a wonderful shipwright. Will miss his cheeky sense of humour.
I will miss Pete. He is an iconic presence in this boat build. Best always to Pete!
I will miss Pete, but you should be proud of the way you drew his personality out from his camera shy early days to a solid, fun, character. That is not to understate his skills and commitment which I'm sure will just continue to develop in the coming years and roles.
The episode on Pete was one of the best.
Hopefully Pete, and everyone else that's been involved, will be there at the eventual launch.
It's been such a long project it's easy to forget the many people that have given their time and effort - the 'Framing Party' team, the Brass pouring team, etc, etc.
It would be great to see them all together at the end of build.
Enjoy your last album
What? Is that real? Bob Dylan is around? Fantastic! If that isn‘t an accolade
"eventual launch" you misspelled "inevitable" :)
Pete was a huge part of this project, wish we could have heard from him before he parted as so many in the past have done
Yea, feels like the separation wasn't on such amicable grounds.
Ridiculously sharp tools make that handwork flow like butter. Thanks for the sharpening episode, really enjoyed that.
Finding out that you watch this program just made my day
Please!
Which episode?
That was the nicest Ode to a Hyster ever. So many nice tools including the Milwaukee hammer/drill. Keep up the amazing work.
Pete deserved at least that much of a tribute.
@@tux1968 The question is whether a fitting tribute would be welcomed by him.
I suspect it would largely be for our benefit.
I get the strong impression he learned to tolerate, rather than enjoy, what fame he did accrue during the project.
Indeed Pete has been a real asset and an accomplished shipwright. Best of luck to him.
Pete has been one of the characters of the project that has kept me coming back week to week. His story, skills and comical moments have been a pleasure to watch and I wish him the greatest success and happiness. Thanks Pete you are a true inspiration.
Patrick cutting that hole in the bulkhead was the slow TV version of the famous "The Shining" scene. ;-)
Och Sorry to see Pete go without a farewell video, he’s been great and a huge part of the build I will miss him. Hope you do a farewell video of all the work he did. (Hope you haven’t fallen out) . John from Scotland 🏴
Very sorry to see Pete leave, I had hoped to see him stay with Tally Ho through to completion and her sea trials, he's left his mark on Tally Ho and gained huge admiration from the legions of followers of this channel, I wish him all the very best for the future and hope he remains friends in the background with Leo and the Sampson Boat Co team moving forward.
28:15 "Every tool has a hammer side " Eric O South Main Auto Channel 🤣🤣🤣
PETE CANT GO, HES THE REASON I WATCH THESE VIDEOS. WHAT A HIGHLY SKILLED SHIPWRIGHT‼️⛵️ Vinny 🇺🇸
I second that totally ! Time for me to move on as well ! There a lot of boot licking ! We will just leave it at that ! Sad !
You are sure to be missed Pete! I completely understand that you need to do other things, no worries there! All the best to whatever you're doing off camera. And thanks the rest of the crew and Leo in particular for all the amazing work and craftmanship put not only into the boat but into sharing the experience with the rest of us. All the best and much love from Sweden, Europe.
Adding to the Chorus of missing Pete. I truly hope the parting has been a good one and that we see him again over time to check in and see ‘what are you doing Pete?’
Such an interesting person and life, such a talented boatwright, and such a genuinely funny guy and core piece of this channel for so long.
Fair well Pete, from Australia-your absence will be felt.
And thanks again for another fantastic episode Leo and team.
That's got to be the greatest tribute to a FORKLIFT ever produced, and it's well deserved. They are perhaps the most useful pieces of underappreciated heavy equipment on the planet.
Pretty deep that the forklift got a 3 minute montage goodbye but Pete gets a thank you and good luck. 😃
Can you imagine if it were a five-klift??? I'll let myself out, thanks. :)
A trusty steed. Nice that a German Mechanical Engineer just stopped in one day to give er a tune up.
@@peehandshihtzu Every time I see a corny joke it reminds me of my stepfather he had a million of them.
@@bigredc222 I couldn't help myself, he sounds like a funny guy. :)
Poncho and the Forklift were awesome together in all the scenes.
Pete, all the best to you from Holland.
You gave me many great moments showing your humour and terrific craftsmanship!
Going to be strange with PETE gone, but part of his spirit will always be part of Tally Ho as well as everyone who has worked on her and contributed to her building. God be with you, Pete.
"Watch ya doing Pete - breaking the viewers hearts"
Sad to see you go Pete, thank you for being such a great personality to watch - Best fishes going forward!
Pete is a real stand up dude, if I may say so. He will be missed. Hope he will come back !
I’m always so amazed with the precision of cuts and fitting of shelf, bulkhead, mount etc…
Leo, most of us truly hold an affinity toward “No Feet Pete”, and I’m sure he is in great demand being an extraordinarily talented shipright who really hustles. I’m hoping he will show up in other RUclips channels, and if so, I’d implore you to keep us in the loop as to where we may find him.
Wait, both his feet are gone?
@@jochenarnold7215 lost his lower legs jumping trains when he was younger.
Being an Australian, I always thought of Pete as "Stumps" in typical Aussie style.
Such a talent and zest for life!
I will miss Pete. A fine guy with superb skills. He really brought Tally Ho forward. Full respect sent to him along with my best wishes. Hopefully we will see what he is up to next. Mad skills building the battery locker racks, sole, companion way and engine compartment bulkheads. As always strong with a beautiful high quality finish. 👏👍⛵️🏝
PETE!!!! Man have been an absolute joy on this project. I do hope you will pop in or let us show up on you from time ti time! You will be missed for sure!!!
Wow, a lot going on. Good luck to Pete and I hope he's well. He has been a real asset to the restoration and the entertainment. Promise me you'll creep up behind him occasionally and ask him what he's doin'
Good idea 👍👍👍
Just like nearly everyone here, I will miss seeing Pete, but I always knew that it was a temporary gig. He did a fantastic job with helping you put Tally Ho together. He's an amazing shipwright, as are you, and the passion put into the project shows. It sounds like the two of you parted on good terms, and I look forward to seeing what he does going forward. If I remember correctly his workshop is just around the corner and he's sharing with the rent of the boat shed. Tally Ho looks incredible, and she's not even half-done. Great job with the battery rack. You have a tremendous team assembled, Leo, and I know that you appreciate their efforts every day. Cheers!
The forklift got more of a sentimental send off then Pete did! Good luck Pete!
Hey, Pete, what are you doing?
Leaving!
When you have a forklift you will understand. Haha
I suspect the forklift had no particular opinion about being filmed leaving the project!
@@dudefish9517 Pete literally still works in the same building as us…
I don't think Pete wanted a montage..
The forklift send-off was obviously a bit of a joke! My words about Pete were sincere.
As a Professional film maker I can only say: you are a brillant story Teller with skills I admire very deeply. Chapeau, I will follow you and Tally Ho as long as possible.
Pete has been an exceptional contributor to Tally Ho. His presence will be missed. Thank you Leo, for another wonderful and informative video. Your work is very much appreciated.
Very happy to see Pete moving on, it has been our privilege to see him working in this video intensive environment. Hundreds if not thousands of boats are being worked on as we speak, and the vast majority are rarely so well documented. As a viewer, it is easy to forget just how difficult it is to produce such high quality content at all, let alone consistently for so many years. Oh and those batteries look amazing and a fantastic job tucking them into those super heavy duty shelves.
Watched you for years man. Every time I do I try to come up with words to do justice to my admiration of you and your work. In the cabinetmaker world, attributing the phrase ‘furniture grade” was about the clearest way to distinguish wood trades “Furniture grade” wood flooring comes to mind in fine European homes. But in a boat, remarkable that everything you lay your chisel to is with such accuracy and style. (I was bemused to see if you were going to hand plane the plywood though) Anyway, just thrilled with your work and your series and from a furniture guy (I was lucky to be a sample cabinetmaker at a fine 18th century reproduction house called Kittinger Furniture in Buffalo NY) it’s a thrill that you’re showing the world the worthiness even today of skilled craftsmanship in the approved tradition. Cheers.
Epoxy tip from Aerospace: don't "whip" your epoxy it will trap air bubbles and damage your bond. Mix it slowly but completely for best results.
Good tip!
I approve of this message
Epoxy snob!get a clue!Pete is gone. A real epoxy snob would, ya whip it , whip it good…and then hit surface with a torch😎🇺🇸🇨🇦
@@SampsonBoatCo you could place the mixed epoxy in a vacuum chamber to clear any bubbles, used in resin castings, fairly cheap..Also good for 2k varnish. my epoxy top tip-always use 2 pairs of nitrile gloves, easy to change when messy and hands are sweaty.. great to see the progress Leo and team, and Patrick... wow you got da skills!
Hey Pete, you will be sorely missed on Tally-Ho. I loved the uncertainty of your response to having a camera shoved in your face. I loved to watch your confidence and skill as a shipwright, and your amazing story. Thank you so much for everything, wishing you all be best in the future.
We will miss Pete for sure. I hope he finds other interesting and challenging projects to work on. I look forward to seeing what he is working on. Great design of the battery compartment!
I would love to see Pete come back! He’s a special person. In fact the whole crew is exceptional. We never miss this video!
Pete, many thanks to your contribution to this project. May you continue with your dedication and inspiration in the field of wooden boats for a long long time
Thank you Sorbatto for the most generous donation of the little forklift. That little champ has carried the entire weight of this project so far.
Can't beat a Makita drill hammer! 😅 Kudos to Pete and all involved! A real pleasure to follow along!
Not to be confused with a hammer drill.😉
I was looking for someone to comment on the use of the drill as a mallet/hammer. I knew it would be in here somewhere.
@@thomasarussellsr I worked with a glazier,,,his drill was beat to shit from using it as a hammer
Every tool has a hammer side!
@@tomstiel7576 oh, don't get me wrong, there are several tools in my collection that double as a hammer when they are handy and a hammer isn't. Everything from various pliers of different sizes, to wrenches and screwdriver handles, and even power tools like the back end of a drill or motor housing or a circular saw to bump things around.
goodbye Pete it was fun having you in the videos with the "hey Pete what are you doing" sections which where good.
can we all show our love towards Pete by liking this comment.
we all miss you.
it's awesome seeing original wood get reused, i enjoy it when you point out which pieces get reused
Pete!!! You have done so much on this project and provided some serious skill. You should start your own project and channel!
Re: Pete would be a great channel and an instant sub. Great suggestion Mr. Destroyer.
Maybe something along the lines of "What Pete's doing"
@@phatputer lol, good name!
42:55 minute video dedicated to tool sharpening- SURELY we can expect a whole video dedicated to Pete’s massive contribution to the project. Such a shock that he gone in just a few words! Will miss him so much.
Greetings from Ireland!🇮🇪☘️ Wonderful to see your project nearing completion. As for Pete, your personal story, good humour and great skills are inspiring. I wish you every success and happiness for the future and of course, an Irish blessing!
Pete will be missed!
I wasn't sure about him when he joined you, but he's a star. All the best to him, hopefully this won't be the last we see of him.
I hope Pete gets a chance to read these comments. Almost every one of over a thousand people saying how much they liked and appreciated him and how much they will miss him. Every single one thoroughly deserved. Bon voyage, Pete.
I really enjoy the ethic and craftmanship you and all your team work to, including Pete! Thanks for all your videos, I learn so much from them.
Best wishes to Pete in his new endeavors. Please pass along that he will be missed. Tally Ho would not be the ship that it is without his skills and hard work.
What an absolute shame you have lost such a magnificent part of your team with Pete moving on. I wish him all the best & I'm sure he'll be sorely missed. Such a nice man. Progress on Tally-Ho has been amazing Leo & a true testament to you & your team. Thanks for sharing a fantastic journey. Billy J.... Queensland, Australia.
Wow. First I'm getting emotional about a forklift truck, then I'm knocked sideways by the news that Pete is moving on. I never knew how emotionally invested in this project I'd become. Makes me wonder how its going to feel when she's finally back in the water - and if the day ever comes when she sails over to England and I can finally see her in the 'flesh'. I'm going to be a complete mess!
Can't really imagine Tally Ho without Pete always there, but I guess we'll get used to it and the project will continue just as it has with the other hurdles Leo has encountered. All the best Pete - looking forward to keeping up with whatever you're doing. Apart from that, it was great to watch a 'normal' TH video again, with lots of stuff going on, lots of 'chisel action' (!), and even a very rare mistake (I was beginning to think they never happened!). Thanks, Leo and team for all that you do.
Count me in on thanking Pete, for me as a viewer it´s allways been a pleasure watching him with his amazing skill. All the best for the future Pete, and stay just as you are.
A sincere thank you to Pete-no-feet, the character that seasoned the videos from the very start. When Leo asked him “What are you doing, Pete?” he was shy at first, but gradually he thawed and revealed himself to be an excellent teacher. Thank you, Pete!
Ah no Pete's going? guy is a rock star!
Fabulous episode. ...........but I'm really sorry to see Pete heading off.
Leo and team are building a masterpiece. It's been a real pleasure watching craftsmen at work (that includes you ladies). I am going to miss Pete. Hope to see him from time to time and best of luck to him.
Gotta love the teak delivery guy - "All right, what episode am I ?"
Pete, you're a good man, and have been a massive, massive enabler for this project. Hope to see you back.Will miss you man. Mike 🇦🇺
Have loved Leo’s journey with Tally Ho, Pete was a great part of this story & I will miss him, lots of luck for the future Pete xx
Leo: "gonna make a battery shelving unit..."
Us: "Cool."
Leo: "out of purpleheart..."
Us: "Woah."
Leo: "and then I am going to paint it."
Us: "What?!"
What kind of primer do you use to get paint to stay on an oily wood such as purple heart?
@@thomasarussellsr a solvent based primer
Dear CorwinGC
👍👌👏😁😁😁 Exactly!
Best regards luck and health.
It broke my heart seeing it all white
EXACTLY!
Oh Peeeete!! The guys you will work for are so lucky ! Watching your amazing skills was a real real pleasure. Thanks so much for sharing your work on this crazy rebuilding. Hope we will see you in future Leo's videos again. I wish you all the best. Greetings from Bordeaux (France).
A touching goodbye to a long-time vital member of the team whose hard work has given so much to the project and whose personality has added so much to the videos, what a great little forklift. Will miss Pete too!
;)
Lol. Well said. Whenever someone needed their heavy loads lifted or to keep things moving along you couldn't ask for a better....forklift. Oh yeah, Pete was pretty cool as well
I love how extra Leo is sometimes, making the slits in the plywood to make it look pretty.
I’m sure we will all miss Pete, he has been a wonderful asset to the project and the Hyster aka Pancho’s taxi, what a work horse! Excellent episode by the way!!!!
Excellent work as all ways. Pete will be sadly missed, great guy excellent craftsman.
Leo, at least when you catch up with Pete you genuinely ask “Hey Pete, what are you doing?”. Pro tip - switch to hammer function before striking bolts with drill. Admirable work as always. Cheers from Aus.
Hope all is well between Pete and you and everybody else. Would be a shame if not…. and all the best for Pete wherever he goes whatever he does !
That Pete left without even a few words of farewell is evidence that all is not well in the boathouse. However, Leo is a true professional and clearly understands his obligation to protect the privacy of his employees. I respect that. Still as a viewer with an emotional investment in the Talley Ho story line I want to know more... its only human.
Who knew a fork lift could be used to sharpen a birds beak. I’ll bet no designer or manufacturer of those thought of that. 😂
Pete will be sadly missed. Best wishes for his new projects.
Good corkers are hard to find.
I get emotionally attached to my machines too, Leo. Fantastic tribute to the venerable and ever faithful Hyster. 👍 Sorry to hear that Pete is leaving the project. A trusted craftsman like him is hard to come by, and he has certainly been a mainstay of the channel. Good luck to you, Pete.
A tribute to a yellow forklift but a 10 second goodbye to Pete after all the work has done…. I’m confused. We love you Pete.
Quite strange indeed. A month or two ago I posted a quick "what happened to 'he who can't be named'?" on the Sampson Boat Co Friends Facebook page. I used his name, and the next day my question had been deleted, let alone answered. Then when the launch video was posted ~two weeks ago there was a review of many of the people who contributed, but not a word, let alone pictures, of Pe**. I don't use his name anymore because it looks like it'll be deleted. Anyway, he was a pivotal guy in the early days for sure.
Best wishes Pete! You'll be missed. I look forward to seeing your updates from time to time. Stay in touch❣
I learned a lot from Pete and not just about building a boat.
What a packed video! Your craftsmanship with the build is just a tiny portion of the brilliance of these videos. The magnitude of this project and what you are managing behind the scenes with filming, editing, sourcing materials, equipment and talent, and managing all of the above, coordinating the timing etc. not to mention fundraising and building a brand- Epic!
Life is all about characters and Pete has been a star - good luck in your new ventures Pete - hope to see you in the future along the way. Many players have contributed to this fantastic project and I am sure more will play their part in the completion. Great video Leo - consummate skills by the team in every little detail. RUclips has been a real game changer to allow us viewers from afar to enjoy the progress. Thanks for sharing!
I don't know if I can continue to watch anymore videos, without the 'insight of Pete' and his extreme knowledge of boat building ... Cheers to a one of a kind .. Pete, your always sunny disposition will be missed, more power to you, and good luck !!!
And he didn't even say good-bye
I volunteered for the boat festival!!!! Working Friday and Saturday nights. Ima come to the workshop early!!!!
Sad to see Pete go ! What a great team though, so impressed with the project management and coordination by Leo. Patrick is fitting those sole boards incredibly well. Can’t wait to see the great work from Richard and Clifton great group of skilled craftsmen!
Well, Pete, sorry to see you go. You've been fun, and a skillful artisan to watch.
One of the things, being an amateur woodworker, is the detail you show us of your woodworking. Not too much to make it tedious, but enough to show how it's done with great skill.
Who’d have thought Pete’s leaving some big boots to fill? :) Good luck Pete you are a Legend!
Who is going to fill Pete's funky little hat?
Besides Poncho and Leo,
Pete was the star of the show !! Leo, give that man a big raise and get him back on your boat !!
You need him … he is the backbone of your crew and everyone looked up to the foreman … Don’t let him wander off.
Geez I want those batteries !!!
I watch a variety of RUclips channels, time permitting and sometimes a bit more than time permitting. This is one of my favorites. I like Leo's camera work and editing style and look forward to a similar mix of verbal explanation and musical interludes when he is making videos of the sailing adventures aboard the completed boat. After finishing watching this video I need to get back to work on one of my own projects (and airplane).
