- Its time for something a little different, in this episode we begin building the tender for Tarkine.
We are building an Iain Oughtred "Sea Hen", this is a slightly larger version of the "Auk" which some may be familiar with.
We begin with lofting and preparing the moulds on the strongback to take planking.
After a great time at the tip shop we find some salvaged wood to use in the dinghy.
To finish the episode with some fun boat maneuvering with a forklift and a trolley!

The board you thought may be a tailgate is actually a side board for a bed. Hooks go to headboard and footboard. That smaller board along side the larger is to hold slats all along the length. Love watching the creativity you folks use in light of having fewer resources than other parts of the world. Likewise you exhibit terrific skills in construction.
Exactly right! On all counts.
Epic moving of unfeasably large object with inappropriate equipment. I have a bit of experience in the art and always find it highly entertaining. Bravo!
Haha very true! Make do with what we have yes!
the timber with the hooks at each ed is more likely to be part of a bed frame.
Tenth person who came here to say the same thing - looks like he’s inadvertently discovered a fundamental RUclips truth: viewers love correcting people so a flub here or there can drive engagement metrics :-) Love this channel.
Great episode! Clever way to move the boat.
Cheers matey glad you enjoyed it
I am looking forward to seeing the red cedar with a clear finishing coat of varnish or whatever you use. It is such a beautiful timber when lacquered
Yeah it is beautiful!!
I have followed all those projects you mentioned. Amazing how the internet can connect so many people. That was a very creative way to move a boat! 🙂
Yeah they are all interesting in their own way! Yep when you gotta move a boat you w gotta move it!
Awesome reuse of Timber. Can't wait to see how it turns out. One observation though 😂 that timber with the latches was not from a tailgate, it was from a bed.
That was gold. A dolly a forklift a rob. Got the job done. Only in Australia mate.
Hahaha yeah that’s it! Gotta get it done!
In 🎉addition to your shed moving ballet, fellow fans of BBAR, be sure to watch the Ran Sailing episode where engineering ones 50 ft. yacht in build state..gets come along dragged out if the boat barn..outside then literally flipped over then pulled back into the build-womb. Ran sailing along with Tallyho & Boat by a River are my 1st go- to's❤
Hey there Canyon, glad you’re enjoying our little videos! We have seen Ran, they are doing an amazing job and gives us flashbacks to when we were planking.. so much to do! Cheers! Matt and Iefke
“Sit around in our thongs…!” As a fellow Australian I feel it my duty to inform others that a thong is a rubber sandal with the single strap going between the big toe and second biggest toe which is how it gets its name - the first versions were likely leather. Very common, very popular and a relaxed footwear option in warm Australia. Also known as the Australian Safety Boot as it’s often worn by those performing duties like mowing the lawn, carrying bricks, welding, building boats, etc.
Flip-flops in the U.S., mostly because of the sound they make when walking.
hey Matt, i been watching all of the above mentioned channels, as i keep adding to some of my messages, i'm not at all interested in the boating side of life as such, although i can certainly see the attraction - i began watching simply because i enjoy the skill side, the engineering behind it all, even if its made of wood or fibre glass, i think Leo has done an amazing job, but as the project progressed so did the skills and the artistry, Tally Ho is one amazing looking boat all over, inside and out - and i imagine yours will be very close
on a par with yours and the others channels you mentioned, i been watching the 'Naughtiguys' who are building a fine looking 75-80 foot yacht manufactured by Baring, its a crazy thing, and another great channel that i am glued to is 'Ship Happens' a couple here in the UK are restoring a war time RAF rescue boat (not back to its period look), during the 70s 80s it was converted into a vatcht, and in recent years abandoned, Simon and Gemma boaught the boat and began working on it on a shoestring with no real knowledge, their own skills come from their business of building camper vans etc, and with the audience participation, as with everyones channel, are able to do so much more, i have to say learning on the job gives me great satisfaction, working out the problems with sound affordable solutions, great viewing
Looks like the shed gets cleaned once a decade, whether it needs it or not.
The second red cedar board you showed was from an antique bedrail. It would have been used with a headboard and footboard with slats in-between the rails. A boxspring with a mattress on top and you would have a bed.
Wonderful video Amigo and Amiga!!
Hi Matt,
Love what you guys are doing. The timber you recycled is most likely Western Red Cedar from the USA or Canada. We used heaps of it in the 80 for house fixouts and kilometers of shiplap or v joint tounge and groove lining boards. Sure smells nice when machining it.
Aussie Cedar (Toona Australis) grain is way different.
Cheers from the Central Coast nsw
Dave (Crowy) and my Dutch wife Ingrid
C
Ah thanks Dave and Ingrid! It smells really nice yes! And the smell really hangs around which is nice to walk past and notice it
Amazing what can be done with an old forklift and a random trolley.
Yep that’s it! Glad you enjoyed it
We built 2 dingies in Mazatlan Mexico February 74 fiberglass! Go for it!
Oh nice!
It’s always a great pleasure to watch you guys with your hard work, creativity and the ozzy fun
Ah cheers mate! Haha
Nice to have parallel project showcased 👍🏻 Love the random chainsaw murderer wandering around 💀🪚
Hahaha yeah Dave was trying to get his brush cutter going but it wouldn’t start so resorted to the chainsaw!
Hi gang!!
As for the dinghy,if possible, make a centerboard that sweeps up backwards, if hit something under. I own a Finn dinghy, and adjusting the centerboard is really useful. The Finn, have a rudder with the lower hinge movable, but I saw a rudder in a corner at the club, where the lower part of the rudder was separate, with a bolt. The top part had some fiber middle, and on each side of the lower part, two pieces of aluminium, which were longer than the upper middle, and went lower, encasing and stabilizing the lower rudder part. So, once you hear, and see the moving centerboard hits something below, the seconds later the rudder is hit, then with the movable lower part, it still works as rudder, albeit with slightly pressure. Before I stole ( left a piece of paper, telling who stole it...) the divided rudder, I often hit and then the entire rudder just got loose. Aff carse I had a cord attached, but when the sail was flapping wildly, the centerboards scraped, to reattach the bluidy rudder on its hinges was very stressful.....
However, just my imminent reflection regarding foldable centerboard and rudder on a Finn dinghy ( 4,50 x 1,60, 120 kg, 10 sq.m sail. Actually, the dinghy was constructed of a swede from Uppsala, when the 1952 Olympic commite asked around in Scandinavia for dinghies for the games in Helsinki, Finland Several dinghies arrived , but the swedish one won, and the constructor, Richard Sarby, gave the dinghy the name Finn dinghy, for the olympic games. Actually, the dinghy became one person olympic boat until a couple of years......Sorry for digress....
Anyway, allda bestest from mikke, in sweden now 75,and still have my Finn dinghy nr 562.....;-D
I built a little 8 foot punt out of red cedar a couple of years ago. It was at the wooden boat festival. Turned out quite light. Typical dinghy used by yachtties before rubber duckies. Didn't get to use it though as it was built to order for a customer. I am going to built one out of King Billy soon though. It's amazing how Aussie red cedar can be red or greyish and any colour in between. The hog is called a keelson traditionally here. Cheers!
Good idea to reference to the others dingy
Hahaha thanks, gotta try
Ha. The Boat Move…poetry. ) I guess three quarters of weight is in the lead ballast.
I think Sea Hen is a great choice for ships dinghy. Be such a good worker. As well as beautiful & shapely. Also great to see quality timber repurposed.
Love Iain Oughtred designs. We bought a second hand Oughtred ‘Fulmar’ from Geelong VIC. So an 1800 km round trip from Sthn Highlands NSW, but worth it.
Go well
Hi Groovers, great vid as usual. You two are doing such an awesome job with great attention to detail. I know that can be a challenge at times, but it is definitely paying off in your case. Can't wait to see you guys on the water when that day finally comes. Take care guys, Steve and scallywag Maple
If I were to be young again I would like to be as smart as you two!!
Oh wow! Thanks, lovely of you to say! Cheers
I read a article about this guy who went to a area in the 60s where a vast amount of king Billy pines were burned, killed but not destroyed and he went out, harvested a large number of them and took them to his sawmill. He's got quite the cool stockpile!!
This end to the video was great. Moving a boat with what you have. Aussie ingeneousity. And choosing red cedar for the dinghy...great choice. Strong and it can take bending extremely well. And....from a different prospective....it sounds good. I bought three acoustic guitars just based on how they sound. Later I found they all have cedar tops.
Another beautiful video, love you guys
Amazing! Glad you liked it thanks
Nice video again. And you know it is just for fun, but we don’t lose our trees in winter here 😜 but I get what you try to say. And just wanted to express my appreciation of (re)using wood.
I built Oughtred’s slightly larger Puffin last year. Was great fun. And great fun to sail.
Great going. Thanks
Oh on thankyou!!
Hi,I follow all of the channels that you mentioned and I am sure that your dinghy will be as good a quality as theirs.I will continue to follow your channel so please keep them coming because they are interesting,entertaining and skill thrown in as a bonus,great.cheers,Roly🇬🇧
Thanks as always Roly for your lovely comment! Much appreciated cheers
The tip shop, what a great idea and the best way to recycle. It reminds me of the old days as kids when we went to the dump and found all sorts of good stuff that was thrown away. The piece of wood that you thought might have been a tailgate, I reckon it would have been from a bed, like the side rails that would hook onto the bed heads. Moving that boat looked so sketchy but it worked out well. Keep up the great work, I have been subscribed since I reckon it was when you had around 2 or 3k subscribers.
Looking good guys!🙂
Ah thanks! Much appreciated
Absolutely love your channel. Agree with comment that tailgate is actually a bed side. Think what you are calling Australian red cedar is actually western red cedar. Australian red cedar is a much darker red and doesn’t have that tiger grain you got when it came out of the thicknesser. Keep up the great work
Cheers! Glad you’re enjoying it!
Great vid!!! Thanks guys.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
That piece that you believe is a tailgate is actually the sides of a bed frame.. they're the pieces that are ran from the head to the feet along both sides
Having been extremely impressed with your superb workmanship so far on Tarkine, I am sure that you'll make an equally beautiful dinghy - and very much better than the others!
I look forward to watching its progress from a pile of recycled timber to an elegant tender.
Ah thankyou! Very kind of you to say. Cheers!
Another great episode
Yes! Glad you enjoyed it
Enjoyed the video very much. You have some real movers and shakers around your shop :)
Hahah thanks! Yep we get it done!
Well, bit a change actually; end of work day suits me just fine...Sit on the couch in front of my laptop and no one to tell me I have things I should be doing. Cooking dinner would be dangerous for all concerned...cheers...richard in Normandy
Hahahah great to have you watching again Richard! Cheers
I built a dinghy once - a Phil Bolger "Nymph" (actually half way between a Nymph and Reubens Nymph in beam) with centreboard case and mast step for sailing. It floated :-) and rowed well in its one and only launching. My late wife then decided it wasn't a boat, but a work of art, and it has been installed in the living room ever since🙂. The boom is completed, but the centreboard, rudder and mast remain work in progress 😞. Can't say the workmanship is quite at Tarkine level though!
That’s going to be a great little tender,good progress so far👌🙂
Spent the week in bed with Covid, absolutely kicked my ass. Finally able to sit upright and get caught up with the vids. You are the first, really enjoyed to tender process and excited to it grow. Thanks for taking the time to post, it is appreciated. Look forward to the process. Ed
Oh bugger, glad you are better now and we could keep you entertained! Cheers
Ah, you guys had a large fork-lift! That’s not fair. A factory where my brother did his toolmaking apprenticeship moved large lathes and milling machines with just a crowbar and lengths of round stock steel to act as rollers.
Hahaha yep! We are certainly lucky to have it! Sooo handy
What, because building one boat at a time is just too easy, right? Love Oughtred's designs.......
Hahaha yes but this one is quicker! Yeah he has so many beautiful designs!
ingenuity at its finest - don't get that on those other channels hah
Hahahah thanks!
Those look like bed rails. Good score though. Looking foreword to build.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Second “timber”, the painted one , looks like a bed rail. If you can’t get your hands on a metal detector , try running a magnet over all the surfaces.
Oh yes good idea! That’ll save the blades
I think Mads (Sail Life) was going to build a carbon fibre laminate dinghy too, but it looks like he and Ava have been somewhat distracted but a huge (and very broken) Cat!
Oh interesting! Yes we saw those new project, but of work there!
I’ve had Covid for the first time this week and it was mighty nice to have a new boat by the river to watch! Love seeing yet another dingy being built. Building a dingy I can wrap,my brain around! 😂
You guys are amazing!
Yes, they’ve built dinghies but none have built them with recycled materials, except for BRUPEG, but that was aluminum, so you’re number 1!!!! As far as moving that boat it was “The little CLARK that could!” Thanks, another great episode!
Another great video mate
another great episode. Thanks
Thanks for leaving a comment and following along!
I believe all of us English speakers inherited a British can do attitude use what’s on hand and get it done
Island life
Subscribe and given them a boost!
Oh yeah!!! Thanks
👍👍👍
Good looking dinghy!
Thankyou!
Thanks for the update. Looking forward to seeing you complete the tender. Gus
Thanks for watching! Glad you’re looking forward to it, exciting times to come!
Keep at it folks, Cant wait to see the fruits of labour on the dinghy.
Thanks! We sure will!
Always entertaining especially the boat move, classic boatyard making do with what they’ve got
Moving a boat with the typical Aussie “she’ll be right” attitude. Not sure if I would have done it that way but it worked out OK 😅
Hahaha Willem, you would have enjoyed watching it! That’s all we were doing also
Great to see another type of dinghy build, so thanks for that. 👍
Hahaha no worries! Glad you enjoyed it!
I always look forward to your presentations and the things I will learn. thank you.
Liked the shout out to the other boat builder RUclipsrs as I'm a fan also.
Yeah they have all done amazing things! Each a little different but still great
It was not a tailgate for a truck. . . .it was a sideboard for a bed, thus the extra rail along the bottom to hold the slats to support the mattress and box springs.
It was a bedframe I think. Beds usually have that sort of hinge connection
I really enjoyed the episode. Looking forward to the dinghy completion.
reuse of Timber 👍
Being in an anchorage with lots of other boats when the weather turns bad and you or someone else needs help... a sailing dinghy or a dinghy with at least 15hp... which one would be able to do... anything? That's one aspect worth thinking about.. I think..🙂
Hahah yeah a good point, not sure how we would approach that pickle.. we will have an outboard on the dinghy but not a 15hp haha
Just beware of Western Red Cedar; it is quite toxic, so wear breathing masks and probably gloves too. If it is possible to attach a vacuum cleaner to any equipment that you use, that would be good. Australian cedar is not toxic to my knowledge. Beautiful timber, and you are so fortunate to find some.
Oh interesting, we actually didn’t know! Thanks
Bed frame
Perhaps call it retaik'n or retain k.
Anagrams of tarkine and a nod to recycling
Takin'er?
A tinker. That's it, got there 😊
Oh yes we like that one! Haha
Love the use of recycled timber and had a laugh when you said it was dangerous, because not only have i ruined many saw blades on screws and nails, mostly on recycled Teak or Iroko doors, frames and windows, i actually broke my two front teeth trying to remove a nail from some scavangend Purple heart, which i unbelievably found on a pallet.
Wow… that must have hurt! Ouch
@@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River a little, hurt my pocket more. Anyways looking forward to seeing your dinghy complete im sure itll be a match for any of the other builds, then again Arabella's Victoria is a beauty but that was always going to be given her builder
bed frame
For any non-Australians who wondered about Aussies "sitting around in our thongs" at Christmas time (12:47), "thongs" is Aussie slang for flip-flops.
Hahaha yes well said! Cheers!
“Looks a bit dodgy, but she’ll be right!” 😂😂😂 🛥️ 🍴
Ooooh yeah exactly!
@@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River that’s gotta be my favorite Aussie quote! lmao 😜
bed frame rails
10:22 nope that was a bed frame side rail.
I thought Leo’s two piece boat was clever, how useful or practical I don’t have a clue though.
Yeah, only real life practice will tell!
Butt of course December is not winter down under.
Are bead hook no tailgate. If U work with reclamed wood bay os barow metal detector
Looks like a bed frame from a wooden bed to me!
How do you say sketchy as hell in Aussie?
Nailed it!
Bed Frame
No, not dodgy at all.
Hahahaha no…
I know it is going to be beautiful but will it be painted or Deks Olje?
No sadly, she will be all painted, a work horse..
What was the type of timber used for the hog.
I bought a kit ten years from stray dog but never got started with the rowing boat. Now I'm super keen again. Thanks, hope to follow you step by step.
Oh yes! Get into it! Glad we could help. It’s red cedar, basically whatever we could find that was light enough
is the boat that you moved being restored? What design is it? Looks a nice shape
I restoration yet. For now she is dry and safe!
@@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River
Ok many thanks
It’s a bed rail
It's not a tailgate, it's a bed frame
Here in America there's people who go around buying old derelict wooden barns, sheds and homes that are atleast 100 years old just to tear them down and salvage the wood which is resold and repurposed..
Moving a boat with a skateboard and a forklift…
Hahaha yeah an interesting one!
Hope no one from occupational health and safety were watching
