The Capstan Project is certainly emblematic of the entire Tally Ho project, where Leo and his team plus Keith and his team come together to merge the old and new to create a best-of-breed device for the best-of-breed ship. As a long-time follower of both sites, I've enjoyed this partnership very much! Thank You!!
I was going to say the same. It's so cool to see modern engineering implemented into this historic piece. I'm glad Keith was available to execute this part of the project. His presentation style has always been easy to watch and very educational.
I wonder if the Stoker Engine is next.
Right!!! The whole evolution is epic. The camaraderie, the talents, the time and dedication. The inspiration in culture otherwise seemingly bereft of a since of community.
Hear, hear!
I just can't help but think original builders of Tally Ho, looking from above, are wetting their pants with laughter watching this overdoing of an overkill of over-engineering...
It's going to be very cool to see the finished product installed on Tally Ho. And be able to appreciate the amount of work that went into the restoration. Thanks, Keith.
Progress is definitely being made.
I wonder if we will see the Stoker Engine installed.
Keith, this has been such a great subplot to the Tally Ho story. I'm watching your vids as avidly as TH at the monet
I love that you do not edit out the little miscues like forgetting the washer. Makes it so much more real world. Love your channel.
Leo is very lucky to have Keith doing this. This man is pure art.
When the old capstan was brought into the shop and Keith and friends took it (breaking) apart, never in my wildest dream did I realize what a wonderful project this became. We all appreciate it so much to be on this journey. Salute
Can you address electrolysis?? Thanks for such an amazing set of videos.
Keith, just thought id say i used to watch you around 9 years ago iirc, and ive just come back to re find your channel. Brilliant, get er done
Keith, I am blown away with the level of love for the craft that Tally Ho has brought out. Thank you for taking us along on this journey!
Amen
I am happy to see that I am not the only one that forgets the washer. Really great work on this project. Thanks
Hurry up, the boat is already in the water! 😉
And why build it in steel?
Bronze would have looked way better
Seeing you applying the bedding compound reminded of an artist with his palette. This capstan is a work of art. Practical art but art none the less. You are an artisan. You should sign and date it.
Wherever Leo takes Tally-Ho this piece of Keith will be right in the front of the ship. Taking it all in.
As a non-engineer, I’m blown away by how much work is required to make this project successful. Well done sir. 🇨🇦
Home stretch, Nice work Keith. Its great watching this whole capstan project
It's good that there is so many people involved in completing the capstan but it seems to be taking too long and maybe the reason behind that is so many have their hands on the capstan.
If you want 6 evenly spaced bolt holes on a radius, once you have scribed the the radius, without changing your compass setting (trammel points), mark a starting point on the radius. Then start marking points on the circle with your compass. You will find that after marking the 6th location on the circle, the 7th point will align perfectly with your starting point.
Something I learned as a kid playing with a compass waaaaay back in Elementary School back in the 1960's. Thanks for a great video and great project.
Came here to say that! Divide into six equal lengths on a circle is relatively easy!
What happens when laying out as you describe makes 6 equilateral triangles about a common point, the vertex, at the center line of the circle.
Last week I was struggling to work out how to do three equally spaced with compasses then realised 6 was easy so you just miss out alternate points.
Basic geometry .... why make it more complicated ?
@@NormanGnome11 because he's not as smart as he pretends to be
I only came to your channel for this project but now you've got me hooked. Always a pleasure to watch someone confident with their skills and tools.
Greetings from Christchurch, NZ.... Thanks a Stack...... What an Absolute Pleasure watching these Vidclips .... Wonderful to see that the 'Craftmanship' is still alive. I am already 73 years old and This is the Very Background that I grew up with when I did my Toolmaking Apprecnticeship back in the Very Early 70's in Cape Town, ZA .... Very Best to ALL ....
The assembly of this piece of equipment is straight millwright work . While I have never assembled a capstan I have drilled and reamed and doweled thousands of holes and locktited millions of bolt and nuts , bedded lots of surfaces usually with bellzona. Having the holes aligned and everything ready is critical. Another great job by a master machinist. God bless you sir
Great progress! I know Leo is going to be very happy.
Keith, really refreshing to watch a professional engineer perform his skills to the tally-ho project. Respect to all involved.
Machinist. This is machining. If he were running the stress calculations, directing the drawings, signing off on the design, that's engineering.
@derschwartzadder Yeah. While a good machinist has to sometimes think like an engineer, it is a decidedly different discipline. Also, I might go so far as to call Keith here a millwright. Not only is he a professional machinist, but he rebuilds, restores, and performs the maintenance on all the machines.
@@derschwartzadderMachining, especially of this caliper, is “applied engineering”Professionally trained engineers always need practical engineers such as Keith to turn their ideas into reality. It’s extremely rare to find a university trained mechanical engineer who’s also a fully trained machinist.
@@ellieprice363 truer words have never been spoken
The next guy that has to take it apart is going to hate Keith with all that loctite on the bolts
Would love to see either Leo in Keith's workshop or even better Keith on the Tally Ho
Nice work, what a big project with so many complexities
Excellent video. I am looking forward to seeing Tally Ho weigh anchor using her original (but updated) capstan. I would like to see a short video of Dave Webster explaining the process of designing the plans that you are using.
Ditto
So cool to see this come together-- but the amount of work to get to this point is so very interesting and I appreciate all of this being shared. When mounted on Tally Ho it'll look cool but like the whole project behind the single deck mounted piece is a story and a person and their story. Awesome.
Thanks for posting and sharing, and taking such attention to getting it done correctly.
Outstanding, thanks so much for letting us watch you work!
It is so good to see a true professional at work. Hope fully these skills can be imparted to the next GENERATION
As a Machinist once told me - "I just follow the print provided." You can't go wrong with doing it the way the customer wants.
except if the drawing is wrong, then the outcome will be wrong. it's better to think about what the desired outcome is and ask questions to make sure the design's intent is actually carried out.
@@junkname9983 Yes, Keith has said in previous videos he consults with both Leo and Dave for clarification when something is unclear or he spots a potential issue.
I just looked and Keith only had 260K subscribers? Come on people, click that button! :D Just saying thanks Keith. I have especially enjoyed the Tally Ho content. I have followed and supported that project for a long time now. Keep it going. Thanks!
Well produced and presented.
Hello Keith, Well ! This was an absolutely beautiful example of some of the most wonderful and extremely scary machine work which I will equate to when you’re walking on a freshly frozen pond or lake on your tippy toes and hearing the ice cracking 😳and something starts squeezing your lower “Cheeks” together !
It’s been said here before in several comments that few if any jobbing shops would have even remotely agreed to take this extremely irreplaceable and important historically Capstan restoration and reconfiguration job on in the first place. So to say you are certainly without any doubt deserving of the respect of everyone out there, yes indeed you do Keith !!!
Thank you for having the guts and patience and of course the amazing talent for saving the Talky-Ho Capstan. This also goes the UK engineer who designed the power portion of this job which is an amazing feat in itself 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
It's looking like a giant piece of jewelry with all that bling on it now.
You can design a 6-hole pattern using the same compass you used to make the radius. The distance between the holes is the radius. Every child used to know that.
So cool to see this coming together!
Big steps today - great job Keith!
I like how you stay totally calm while doing this "nerve-wrecking" job, so professional.
I loved "Well thats as far as that one goes" with the first pin
For a German the words "close enough" and "about right" gave me goose bumbs. But nice work and a ++ for using a "Reibahle". Good job Keith.
It's been fascinating to watch the evolution of the repair of the Tally Ho Capstan- You've done a sterling job on it so far- I expect it gave you a great sense of satisfaction to see this assembly coming to fruition thus far. Well done Keith, I'm looking forward to seeing it completed very soon.
Wonderful work, thanks for sharing !
The quality of workmanship we see on the Tally Ho obviously extends to Keith Rucker's work on the capstan!
It's going to be a beautiful addition to the deck of that gorgeous ship!
I like your big radial arm drill, which is about the same size that I used to drill out the tube and flue holes for the front tube plate a steam loco boiler with around one hundred tubes and twelve flues. I'm sure that Leo will be absolutely thrilled with your excellent workmanship that matches with the quality of the rebuild he has done on his yacht.
When I'm able I will gladly support your channel. Thank you for several years of educational videos Keith.
Awesome project for an awesome boat! As a millwright / machinist myself its nice to see things being repaired instead of just being replaced. I was a little disappointed though to see all the hammer marks in that nice new gear ring. A hardwood block would have worked better for install instead of a brass hammer, or the dead blow hammer used after the brass one marked up the gear. Keep up the good work Keith, cheers
I started watching here before I found the Tally Ho videos but somehow it warms my heart twice over when I can watch Keith help to transform the leaking hull that was Tally Ho into the sleek beauty she is today.
Wonderful craftmanship.
Great job Keith !!
Great job Keith!
Your a Saint and Savior for Tally Ho .... thank you ..... ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊 ........
It is so cool to see this kind of thing being so well documented. Thanks Keith.
Nice work! That mixture of metals in the marine environment though 🥴
In reference to the location of the six holes using a protector as shown at time 19.46, I would like to suggest an easier way to locate the desired points. I learned this method studying the "French Engineering Drawing" textbook in my drafting class in 1954 (yes, I am 85 years old and still remember a few things). The CAD system back then was a drawing board, T-square, triangle, ruler, pencil, and an eraser (just in case you goofed the first time). First draw a circle on the part using the proper radius. Next locate the desired location of the first position. Then, using the center point of the compass placed on the first position, draw an arc on the circle line. Moving the center of the compass to the new arc, draw another arc on the circle line. Do this four more times and all six positions are located. To double check your work if desired, use the last location as the center point and the arc should be over the starting point. If you have trouble following my instructions to (ruclips.net/video/RBWsihpcfco/видео.html) for a simple instruction.
I'm sure Leo will appreciate all your hard work. Thanks for the video, Keith.They are appreciated. Jon
Keith.As ever a master in his shop, you make it look easy, but we know off camera, the extra effort that is required to pull this together, warts and all , great to hear you talk us through, sum of of the work as it comes together and the problems that you have over come.
Great video, very satisfying to watch.
If you take a pair of dividers and set them to the radius and walk them round the circumference they will be a perfect pattern of 6.
Great job maintaining the high standards that exemplify Tally Ho! I love that it is all done manually and with such impressive machinery. I can understand the stress involved machining these priceless one-of-a-kind parts. Keith, to borrow from NASA lore, you are a steely eyed boating man now!
Keith - a much more precise and elegant way of laying out the 6 holes needed for the gear pins would have been to use the circle trammel you made and starting at your starting point for the first hole, swing the trammel until it intersects the layout circle, which becomes the 1st hole location. Then take the trammel, using the intersection point on the layout circle, swing an arc again to get the 2nd hole location and so forth until you get the 6 hole locations. If done correctly with the same radius as the layout circle, your holes should be exactly spaced evenly and 60 deg apart.
We are very "spoiled" these days to have the range of Loctite products available to us.
I can tell by the high degree of smarty-pantedness on display in many these comments, we have a highly learned group of fans here. LOL
I suggest that you consider re-doing the 6 bolts as fitted bolts (of a larger diameter too) to carry the shear force betwixt the cap and the chain pulley.
"I like it" - We do too Kieth, job well done!
I've been watching both your videos and Leo's for a number of years and this particular project melds the two together. I look forward to the next episode of Tally Ho's capstan rebuild.
I found myself holding my breath with EVERY hole you drilled and reamed thinking please don’t jam or break. Yes VERY nerve racking. Well done, Sir!
Great work, always interesting!
Great work as usual.
The radius of the circle is very close to 1/6 of the circumference. A compass set to the radius will step off the 6 points around the circle.
Yes, that's how I would have laid out the six points. It's not the fact that the radius of a circle is approximately 1/6 of the circumference, it's that the length of each side of a hexagon set out on a circle is exactly the same length as the radius.
In my youth I worked for Ford on gearing machines for a while and I was often amazed how the tool makers made the dies, I didn't know what sort of skills they needed but it was always nice to see them milling things out for car parts. some 45 years ago. now watching you Keith over the time you have been working on the Tally Ho Capstan I can see what skills you have and the prep work you do before hand this is why i continue to watch your channel I like to see a craftsmen work thanks for taking the time to video and explain what you do Keith.
A fine example of some transatlantic cooperation and old school engineering. Brilliant work
Get on with it, they want to go sailing
Wow, it's all coming together really well Keith. Thanks for taking the time to put together this excellent content and share it with us.
Another fastidious application of skill technique and patience in the reconstruction of Talley-Ho’s capstan/windlass. Keith seems exactly the man to produce the high quality goods to the same standard that everything else has been done by the crew working on the boat itself.
To see this capstan coming together is so satisfying. Can't wait to see it deck mounted on the Tally Ho.
Keith, I just love your calm composure and persistence in the practice and continued learning of your craft. ❤
You Sir have done a fantastic job so far. I could hear it in your voice you was nervous. As Ken Davis wrote to see this project placed on Tally Ho. Be your crowning glory to which you deserve. Can’t wait for that day. God bless. 🇺🇸🇬🇧👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
awesome video Keith
Can't wait to see this in operation!! I remember being amazed at how BIG it was when Leo and crew pulled it out!
Very interesting video. Nice work.
All of your careful preparation paid off. The installation of these components went smoothly.
Dave, you didn't have any problems with putting it together because you're not only a professional but a real good one at that. I'm sure all of your fans had no doubt you would make it better than originally. Tally Ho, is a project that I've been enjoying and following since the beginning, and I've been following you almost as long. That's why I am so happy for you when you got this project. You tubers working to helping each other out. I love ❤️ it.
His name is Keith, just saying.
Dave's not here
@@moebeddah2288 Dave?
@@moebeddah2288 "Uhhh, Dave's not here, man..."
"No, _I'm_ Dave!"
Ah, fond memories of college.
Puff Puff Pass Dave 🚬
Wonderfull work, love how you work, my deepest respect👍
Excellent work, and that southern accent is kinda a charming relief when watching machining videos.
I love watching your zen-like cool machine work. You and Leo are a natural fit.
Amazing how much work has gone into this single piece of machinery, what with the pattern making and casting of the new cap, and all the meticulous work that Keith has put in in the shop, not to mention the design and fabrication work that has happened in the UK. Did anyone else experience a sense of satisfaction when Keith tapped that bronze gear ring into place within the casting? Just excellent.
Can’t wait to see it in action. As a former owner of two 100ft schooners, I have always loved how older equipment / machinery can be improved / adapted to fit a modern day context. We used to have man powered capstans / windlasses but then not the number of crew to operate them, so moved to powered items but they looked out of place on a historic vessel. This is going to be great to see in operation.
Keith, so much work! But please know that I’ve come to your channel from Leo and watched hundreds of hours of content, so it is helping your channel. Thanks again.
Just FYI, when cleaning up uncured epoxy, use alcohol. Alcohol dissolves uncured epoxy.
You are one of the last true craftsmen left, your knowledge and experience cannot be found in a book or on the computer. Absolutely fabulous workmanship on a very difficult project.
Thanks Keith for taking the time to make such great content.
Hello Keith. Looks like a day or 10 will see you shipping this to Leo. Lookin good ! Yup, you truly nailed it !
I suspect it's already finished and probably in Leo's hands now. Leo announced quite sometime ago that he was looking for anyone traveling from southern GA or FL to the PNW if they could stop by Keith's and pick it up.
@@snappingbear Awesome, I can't wait to see it painted and mounted on her foredeck, I have been here for/since this project started.
I love the details, you explain really clearly the steps which helps me realise how I can improve my own work. Thanks so much!
Outstanding !
Surprised you didn't use the compass to mark off the 60 degree positions for the gear pin holes! Love watching your workmanship - many thanks for sharing.
That capstan is looking awesome! I just watched the last Tally Ho video where Leo was kinda worried his capstan would fit right and be installed smoothly. He's got nothing to worry about! Outstanding cradftsmanship Keith.
This project has been very enjoyable to watch. Thank you. 👍
Excellent job on a complex and very high visibility job. You knocked it out of the park here.
Great work!!
Thank You for your calm demeanor and your wonderful step by step patient explanations
It’s so exciting watching The Doctor of Machining in action!
Great Job!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video with us.
this is a great recovery of what was pretty much a pile of scrap metal when the job commenced way back when it has turned out to be quite the journey out of the past & into the modern day excellent videos and master class workmanship by all involved Huzzah
Have watching your videos on and off, almost since the start of this chanel. Love the collab with Tally Ho project! Nice work as always.
Keith, Great job you are nailing it!
