EPISODE 40.
This episode, I start by installing and running a new helical cutter-head in the planer thicknesser, before making a pair of oak frames with the help of some volunteers, and notching those intermediate frames into the keel timber. Then I take a trip to Port Townsend, where I visit the Western Flyer, a historic fishing boat which once took John Steinbeck and Ed Ricketts around the Gulf of California. Finally I visit Edensaw, to buy the huge purpleheart timbers which will make up the remaining pieces of Tally Ho’s new centerline!

The longer you stay quiet about what happened to your finger, the more convinced I am that it was the parrot!
Hahaha! :)
he didn't say it yet
I bet he sliced it off while sharpening the planer blades.
haha I bet it was the parent
It was the cute cook girl when even more cute ‘old friend’ females kept arriving
Leo...I donated $100 just now. I really don't have a lot of cash, and, I am SO inspired by what you are doing, I hope this helps. With much love and admiration. David
Thanks for the visit and including me in your video stop by any time. Cheers
We switched four different machines over to Shelix several years ago and never regretted it. Get a good supply of high quality drivers for rotating/changing cutters. The fasteners are hard and the drivers have a short life. Otherwise, the best move any shop can make if they run any amount of hard, curly, knotty, or silica-loaded woods through their planers and jointers. Issues like tear-out, burning and ridges from chips instantly become a thing of the past plus noise levels drop both in decibels and pitch. Retired B.C. cabinetmaker/yacht joiner here. Stay safe, everyone. P.S. To all the young guys out there. No ear protection equals tinnitus. Trust me.
Enjoying watching the old videos. Interesting to see how far you have come on this unbelievable project.
Wear the ear muffs anyway. It's not just the decibels that does the damage the frequency of the saw and planers do too.
This is excellent advice! Occupational deafness is the biggest cause of hearing loss for this generation. I wear a pair of Etymotic (any similar brand should be fine) concert grade earplugs all day every day at work. You can hear almost as good as without them in, but it knocks down the sound pressure by 12Db which makes a world of difference in this sort of work. I absolutely would, and do, recommend this to friends.
Totally agree
Totally agree. 30 years in works proves it. You can't perceive the losses now but if you don't take extreme care now you will be fitted for hearing aids at 50.
Absolutely true. At 64, 25 years a carpenter, the ringing in my ears is a constant reminder of all the saws, planners, Sanders and drills in my lifetime!
Ringing in the ears, also known as tinnitus, can be stopped by putting a few drops of warm clove oil in the ears.
Ha ..I delivered to Edensaw(trucker), kind of cool to see em on here.
'cutting the butts when assembling the futtocks' ... another t-shirt worthy quote!
I'd buy that shirt!
"After I finished calibrating the top rollers and the bottom.rollers '.... i solved world hunger and took all of the pollution from the oceans ?? .... Really ...is there anything Leo cant do ?
Truly inspiring . Bravo !
really Leo ... find a cure for cancer while you're at it eh? ;-)
Leo, I'm a bore, but, I've had tinnitus for 24years, it started when I was 42, please, even when you think it's OK, get in the habit of using ear protection when running machines,. It's a bore, putting on ear defenders, use them! Ear plugs can be a good option! At 4.30, you say the planer is it quiet, don't fool yourself! I really enjoy your videos! Look after yourself!!! Regards, Matthew
don't worry, I always wear ear protection when using power tools - I was just trying to illustrate the drop in volume (which is even more than it appeared in the video actually). Thanks!
Leo, I was hooked on your series the instant I stumbled across an episode. I have watched them all and still am mind blown at how much effort, thought, knowledge and amazing workmanship you have at your age. Bravo man.
thanks!
Anyone else here like the song “when the ants go marching one by one”??? Happy New Years.
You just knock my socks off with your expertise, patience and dedication. You are a true inspiration for my own forthcoming restoration project here in Sydney.
thanks!
Cheers Leo! I only caught on just before splash, but got hooked and now I have made it to episode 40 here. So nice to hear Chris Haugen's music! I am an engineer and recorded and mixed two albums with Chris and I love his music. I am in general enthralled with your project. I appreciate your dedication to hard work, exacting standards, and the perseverance and love it takes for such an ambitious and inspiring project!
I just want a small bag full of your wood scraps to make knife scales from. The enormity of this project is mind-boggling - especially as a basically one-man operation. Hats off to you Leo.
Great episode!!! I can't wait to watch him build the centreline... artists who reproduce Chippendale furniture would marvel at Leo's craftsmanship!!! To see timbers joined as he can... blows my mind... again, can't wait!!!
I lived and did finish carpentry on Orcas Island for 14 years and it really takes me back to see your craftsmanship, festool tools from Edensaw (I got my Festools from them-say Hi to Brenda) and the great timbers that Edensaw can source. Good luck and keep up the fight. Take care of your digits as well.
I found this channel a week ago and finished binge watching the first 39 episodes night before last. I am so glad to see this posted.
Thank you Leo Ive been watching since you started from Australia and cant wait to see your fine workmanship come alive each time. One day I may build a small boat for myself or restore an old one. I am a grandmother but that does not stop me. I love wood and have a very strong connection to it. I respect where it has come from and what happens to it afterward. A tree can live for hundreds of years and after it is cut down it can live on for hundreds of years, so that deserves respect.
awesome, good for you! and thanks :)
Christ, looked like you were rebuilding a space shuttle there, not changing a blade. Really, really love your ethic. knowledge and production. I think the time lapse footage actually adds to the degree of effort you expend.
@Igs he was changing out the whole cutter head. If he were just changing the blades, it is just a matter of removing a few screws and a cover or two.
So youtube kept telling me I'm interested in ship building, but I didn't think I was. I guess I was wrong, seeing as I've now watched every episode. Keep up the great work, my man!
I think a lot of us are in that same boat!
Pun intended. Haha
This is such a fascinating channel.... If I was to have my time over again, and suddenly found out I was twenty again, I would probable choose to do an apprenticeship as a shipwright... Thumbs up from me..
Be careful about putting that thumb up Mr Wheatly
That planer is gonna be really hungry now. FEED THE BEAST!
Imagine the sheer size of the tree which that timber came from! *:O*
These videos are all instant RUclips classics that will be enjoyed for years to come.
Please stop to take the time to smile because you deserve it...what you do is spectacular & these videos are amazing!
I know nothing about sailboats/boatbuilding but here I am watching EVERY video you make.
Can't wait until Tally Ho hits the water but I am more excited about the journey of YOU getting us there... I learn something new every episode. stay safe
WOW! Western Flyer out of NOWHERE.
Leo....You've never introduced us to your hosts....You have been so lucky to have the shop and facilities at your disposal. I'm sure you have already made a huge contribution to the end value of that shop. Always happy to see the progress you have made each video. You're still my hero
Thanks! they generally prefer to not be in the videos, but perhaps someday!
Leo, love the video! Ten thousand for purple heart is shocking! But, I know you're being as frugal as possible. Just wanted to say that watching you restore this yacht has been a wonderful adventure. I knew nothing about boats before finding your channel. I've always loved woodworking, but now seeing the graceful lines and the epic scale of Tally Ho's 'bones' is something very special. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thanks John!
Leo, you're really putting a lot of love, sweat and hard work into this rebuild. I really appreciate the video's. Very inspiring.
@Never Gonnatell and half a finger. So he goes all in on the project. And that's what makes it special.
Good choices on all fronts. Thanks for explaining the intermediates. I am looking forward to seeing how you de-construct the bow timbers and keep some kind of shape in the boat at the same time.
I had the festool track for a week before I finally gave in and sent it back and got a makita. Nothing worse than not being able to cut a full two inches and a little change through thicker material.
Amazing how the sun comming out brought your helpers out.
So far I’ve noticed you putting in trenails first dry, then dipped in Stockholm tar, then in linseed oil and now in red lead paint. Are you trying to find out which is best, and can you reply to this in say, 100 years to tell us which was the most effective in protecting the timber?
If the elm offer works out I hope you can return or sell the purple heart. Also happy to see Saylor again. What a laid back Lab. Love that dog.
Centerline redesign is brilliant. By avoiding unstable heart section, he has created a masterpiece. Keep the clever edits and dialog going. Great episode Sea of Cortez side line story was great.
I’ve got an unstable heart too and a couple of shakes - but then ain’t life grand?
Hope your finger is getting better mate that was harsh when you showed us that !!!
It did look nasty - you never told us how you managed to do it either.
True. I would think it was an off-hand cut and at an odd angle resulting in the tip of his dominant hand middle finger being in the cutting path of the blade. I've come close a few times doing this to myself so I no longer force an off-hand cut and take the time to make/ do the cut with my main hand.
it's healing well thanks!
Nowhere near as "Harsh" looking at as it was doing it. And showing the "Reality" of it may just prevent someone else from making the same or similar mistake.
Mistakes are a harsh teacher, you get the exam first and the lesson/experience second.
Unfortunately/fortunately for me, I made my "mistake" when I was about 5, it has informed alot of my decisions since then.
I'm lookin' at the bird, Alan Slater. The nonchalant expression fools few, but in an unguarded moment in this video you'd have seen it sharpening its beak against the pipes..
Leo's videos are the only ones where I enjoy reading all the comments too! Where are Festool? They're missing a sponsorship opportunity like no other that will keep on giving for years on youtube
Seeing all that wood gives me a big smile. ...
That is very impressive, and probably seems a lot less noisy. But if you still have to shout over it you still need hearing protection. I don't think my snow blower is very loud, but I still wear hearing protection. You only get one set of inner ears, and industrial noise damages them over time.
I found one of your videos in my recommendations a few months back and I've been following the progress ever since. Can't wait to see the finished product!
Loving this. Have worked in sawmills and my fathers hobby was woodworking. Just awesome to have you putting this up. Gives me a better idea of why boatbuilding is compelling.
You keep on giving Leo (& Cheka of course). You make me realise my own mundane projects are very do able and I should get off my backside and do them !
Agreed. He inspires me to get my butt moving and finish even the smallest of jobs around the shop. :)
The Cheka...the forerunner of the KGB in the USSR....not to be trifled with....
My education continues !
Good wood is never cheap. Even though it does grow on trees... (Does that make sense outside the UK)?...
Ahh perfect cup of tea watching time..
I replaced my delta 15” planer head about 9 years ago and have only used one side of cutter faces. I would still wear your hearing protection though since hearing loss is a cumulative event over the years.
The “bearing surface” work area touched/cut at the exact same moment by that head is many multiples of traditional heads! Should not only improve finish but also chatter. Awesome and thanks for the usual GREAT/ ENTERTAINING video!
I know you're really busy but can you make your videos longer? We love em!
The art of turning raw materials into functional objets mezmorises me. Especially beautiful wood. A friend of mine is also a boat builder and when I have the opertunity to visit him I always get a huge high from seeing, touching and smelling the different types of exotic and local woods. There is something about wood grain, colour and texture that is soothing and exiting to me all at once. Seeing those large purple heart timbers was most satisfying. Call me a nut case but wood always has that effect on me. Even better is to see them take shape into something as beautiful as a boat ...well that’s over the top!
It's easy. You just take a load of trees and remove the bits that aren't ship.
hogthrob funny!
Yessss another Tally Ho video. I binged all 39 previous episodes in about a week. Can't wait for more!
When you said 10 thousand dollars my heart has stopped beating! :D
Another good year of interesting boat building coming up. My mate lost the tip of one finger using a saw at home, and rushed up to hospital forgetting to take the bit with him. His workmate went back to get it and couldn't find it anywhere and they think his dog ate it, as it eats everything including shoes if you are not wearing them.
Thanks for introducing Chris and the Western Flyer...very cool project.
Your road trips are always fun. 👍
I’m still on the original first side on my Byrd s helix.. it’s amazing the cut it produces 😊👍
Make sure you have a good supply (more than you think you might need) of drivers for when you do rotate. The fasteners are hard and the drivers have a short life. Otherwise, Shelix heads are one of the best additions our shop ever made.
It's pretty exhilarating making $10,000 worth of Purpleheart into sawdust and parts. I very much enjoy following your project.
In addition to a great subject, and great production, you have great music.
I DON'T EVEN NEED TO WEAR EAR DEFENDERS NOW ! Please be careful everyone. Edit: I'm not saying Leo has hearing loss, I'm saying the equipment is still loud enough to cause hearing loss.
Watching this when they are casting the floors and beam shelves. Wow, the boat is really moving along
I have to say this whole process is the most amazing and brilliant thing I've ever seen. Who know that building a boat was so complex?
Happy new year to you from South Africa.. Awesome to see how the Tally is coming back to life.. Enjoy every bit of it.
That tracksaw is a nice tool, we use them at work, and put them through their paces. they hold up to some abuse and torture too. Invest in the vacuum setup and buy a second track and you can make long cuts in a single pass and no mess!
ah, just in time for my 6am coffee :) thnx !
7:30pm here in the UK :-) Also time for tea
All the best in 2019 for you and your lovely lass, absolutely love the videos, Sunday's are my favorite day
This mission was what you were born to do!! Always a real treat to watch your videos!
Leo, your workmanship is absolutely amazing, at 4:41 you were talking about how nice the wood looked after going through the new planer blade. I had to replay that bit to hear what you had said because i was distracted by the lovely lass in the background. Please include more distractions in your future videos : )
I wish you all a healthy, happy new year!
Wear the ear protection, please!
Hope festool are watching, sponsor that man with a TS75 😬
Another great instalment Leo, thanks 🙏🏻
i just tweeted at them to do that. you write them too maybe theyll see the sponsorship opportuntiy!
You are going to love the Shelix head in your planer, in my old working life we had all our planers converted to a helix style heads and they saved us so much work and run so quite.
Any data on power consumption after the change?
@@markbernier8434 - Where I worked we didn't track the power consumption upkick but I am sure that the quality & safety improvements out weighted the upkick.
John Steinbeck is my favourite author, would be awesome to see the boat when it is fully restored.
I’m taking down a 4’ diameter elm next week. What rough dimension you need?
wow, interesting! Could you send me an email?
Sampson Boat Co Sent
Good show, mark w. GOOD SHOW.
Wow, hope we see a video of Mark and his elm soon.
@@wntu4 It has peaked my interest.
Another great video. I've enjoyed them all. I know nothing about boatbuilding, but can recognize skill when I see it. Leo not only knows how to handle chisels but he knows how to use a dial indicator on a magnetic base.
Western Flyer didn't make it home in 2020, 2021, 0r 2022. She finally made it end of 2023, with plenty of work left to be done.
Even experts underestimate the size of a project.
I just watches all your videos of the journey. Your very talented woodwork and know how trees should be used. I wish I was closer I would give you a labor hand. Keep up the spirits and keep smiling your first mate is worth the smiles.
Crikey that wood yard looks well stocked...enjoyed that episode. Bit of everything..crack on.
16:40 "Once completed in 2020" Oh no "she'll sail down to California" OH NO!
My creative medium is very high performance drag racing automatic transmissions that reside behind quite powerful engines that power very fast race cars at a high level of competition, often. For many years I have said that my overdrive transmissions are my "symphony orchestras" and my 2 and 3 speed gearboxes are the "rock n roll bands" of the drag racing world. Leo, I've watched all of your videos, and I keep coming back for more because your passion speaks louder than the work itself. You're there. You've done it. You've transcended the move between Apprentice and Master. And that is not something I say with frivolity. Nice work friend. I learn each and every time I tune in to your videos. I will follow your work for as long as you choose to share it with those of us who are learning. There are more lessons than building/rebuilding wooden vessels. Thank you for taking the risk of putting your intuition and expertise on the line in the form of these videos, I am confident you would defend your every decision as if it were a Masters Degree dissertation. Some choose the academic path, others of us choose a more technical path that cannot be taught in a 4 or 5 year program. Good job indeed. Keep on keeping on. I'm impressed beyond what I can convey. Just want to put that out there for you. Much respect.
Thank you!!! :)
Thank you for explaining about the single intermediate frames. I was wondering about that in relation to the drawings. Makes sense.
The Purple Heart is gorgeous wood.
I've been following the Western Flyer for a while on Instagram. It has come up beautifully - as has Tally Ho.
Love your videos Leo and company! Apart from all of the sharp tooling and fine woodwork ... it's great to watch people at work who balance ambition with grace. I hope you can make a stop in Narragansett Bay on your triumphant return voyage to England ... (I can't imagine it happening any other way ... a knighthood for that fine fellow! ;-) )
BTW, love the music you use in your videos. You have good, eclectic taste.
129jaystreet “the aunts go marching on...” a Hammond b3 or electric organ. Sweet music.
Another brilliant piece of editing Leo. You've got talent mate. Tell me, that lovely photo of Tally Ho under sail in your intro - are you going to rig her the same again? That photo knocks me out reminds me of the old days' skiffs on Sydney harbour with acres of canvas up and a ton of crew to keep the boat upright. Cheers mate
Yup, that's the plan! Full size 1927 racing rig - will have to recreate that photo one day too
Ahhh! Been waiting on those big timbers!
Wow, Leo, this was your finest video! Since I don’t build boats, it’s great to have some details. Being a retired microbiologist I am happy to see that you are taking care of your wound. Keep it clean!
Nice Glad to see a vid drop this morning. Guess I'll grab some coffee and put off cabinet building for twenty minutes. Thanks Leo
Very charming rendition of "Johnny We Hardly Knew Ye" in the background there, my dude. Also, you're the direct inspiration for me to finish my wee stitch and glue sailboat at long last after sitting idle for four years.
Ouch, but worth it and 100 years from now you'll be glad you changed them out now. It's easy to forget the time table that your working too. Putting the work into the skeleton of the boat now is the right thing to do. It will never be this easy later.
Really enjoy watching a guy who likes and cares about his talents, specifically someone that puts more effort doing it quality over quantity . I would definitely hire this guy, if I could afford him.
Love the jazzy Rendition of Johnny comes marching home. Love the content! And would love to volunteer my time on your venture someday
Great Book! Thank you for showing that. It’s really sad how much less sea life is out there in the Sea of Cortez.
Hello I found your channel while watching salt & tar, I'm a old nuke navy type trying to find my back to the sea, And I love the craftsmanship you show, my own is limited to restoring old furniture, keep up the good work, be safe I almost had same thing happen.
I would be curious to see your method of sharpening your chisels and planes.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this new video. Living in France with all this "yellow vest" business is really getting to my head(to put it into 70's California vinacular,) and I've lived here over 35 years and should me used to some strikes and blocages. Positive movement toward a dream...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH(that feels good.) cheers...rr Normandy, Fra.
I’m for the Macaw 🦜 lopping off your fingertip too. You were a lucky man “Shorty Sampson”, look what his Macaw did to Long John Silver... He had to convert a Beckstein grand leg ... and never did really get used to its brass wheel.
Planer took is finger. I'm convinced. Those things are nasty sharp, and he seemed very careful with it in this video...
I like your re-design of the forefoot Leo and Edensaw is one of my favorite places 😍
I’ve got a few friends working on the Western Flyer project nice video
Cheers!
I noticed that you were cutting boards while inside the boat, you held the wood with one hand while cutting with the other. This placed the fingers of one hand underneath the board being cut. The middle finger is the ingest and by the length of the cut off piece this seems like the probable injury cause. I have cut my fingers several times but I do always leave my fingers visible while cutting with a circular saw. I am so glad that it was not a centimeter more.
Well done. Keep it up. You are innovating and becoming more efficient. That's no mistake man. You are evolving!
Bloody brilliant, that is. I love purple heart. It is at the top of my list of favorite woods.
Brilliant, but a bit more expensive than some, that's for sure. Sure would be beautiful to forgo the paint and just oil it.
love watching you work on the planner whilst skilfully keeping that bung finger out of the way !! :-) thanks for the video
Fantastic film quality with easy follow comments, thanks for excellent show //J
I recently found this channel and I must admit, you're doing a fantastic job. Besides the boatbuilding you are caring for these wonderful videos. As a former seaman and wannabe-boatbuilder I enjoy every single frame of it. Regards from a spectator from a seafarers town in Hamburg / Germany
