I was honored and humbled to have Marshall’s awesome truck (and Marshall) in my driveway yesterday to get a load of Steve Cross’ live oak. Now I can finally stop pestering you about purchasing some of your cast offs. 🤓 What a wonderful group of people you have attracted to yourself with this project. Blessings and best wishes to you.
It should be obvious by now that whatever measurement tolerances were designed into Tally Ho, Leo's standards exceed those tolerances significantly. He is the most meticulous of craftsmen. He is mindful of every increment. His idea of level approaches the Platonic Ideal. When finished, this boat is going to be tighter than a miser's purse strings.
My husband and I have been enjoying your Boat Building almost since day 1.You have brought us much joy watching you and all your delightful volunteers build Tally Ho. You have amazing talent sticking with it ness 😍Thank You for Sharing .
I missed the rollers from the pictures you sent, that was fantastic. And good for you, I thought you needed another person there full-time when I was there. You will find the right person and get it done, I wish I had more experience I would come help in a England minute!
Marshall, thanks for helping Leo and sharing your your story and charity with the rest of us. I'm bummed I did not have time to make the trip across the water to shake your hand personally. I now have a couple new channels to watch( you and Keith) and a new charity to support. Thank you for your service as a first responder and thank you for sharing the memory of your sisters in such a beautiful way. Fair winds and safe travels !
In a hundred years from now this boat is going to be a Classic, but with the advantage that every detail of her construction has been documented. I love the ethos of building things with enough care they will likely outlive the maker - it's like making a gift to the future.
In true Archimedes fashion “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.” several pulleys and clamps in this case....very inspiring what a person can do if they set their mind to something. Keep up the great work and cheers
When that beam fell from its position, at 13:45, as Leo move the other beam and it flopped around with a fair amount of wave action along its length I was reminded of that Tacoma bridge failure back in 1940.
There's a guy in the states that built an entire multi-ton stone garden. Nobody actually knows how he did it, many speculate. Levers and pulleys, allow you to move the very world at your finger's whim.
Kudos to Marshall, and bless him and his family as they struggle with such a heavy burden of losing three sisters. This story is heartbreaking, but it warms my soul that he is doing something to support healing. God bless you both.
This has become my favored channel. I am rebuilding a 100 year old teak floating market boat in Suphonburi Thailand. Leo is my inspiration to rebuild instead of putty and paste.
When I watched, I was wondering why he made the box so oversized in height. Finally dawned on my pea brain, that once the parts are reunited, it will be much taller, and he made the box the right size so it can be shipped back. 🤦♂️
I'am french and have got really bad english speaking and talking. I follow your project since one year ago. I like veri much. C'est magnifique Bravo. 👊👊🏻👊🏼👊🏿
I am 80 years old and really enjoy your presentations. I once had a dream of sailing around the world, though all my experience was in motor powered boats. I love to build and repair things. So this fills most all of my desires. Thanks.
Having watched every episode, never failing to marvel at your creativity and skill, this is the only time I realized you can be borderline foolish, a mark of supreme confidence. Think of the end of your finger, which you lost in a heartbeat. Had any number of things let go, and the beams shattered or snapped back, being on the inside of that catenary could have been a death sentence. I am more than twice your age and a woodworker all my life; I have seen and experienced what can happen to big wood under enormous stress. There are risks and there are risks. You got away with one, as I did, more than once in my time, but I don't look back at those experiences with any pleasure. More like, 'oh my God, how could I have thought that clever...' Please don't make a habit of it. I am relieved for Cecca.
I too see and know the danger he is putting himself in the middle of. I am so glad he is getting help. Wish some attorney would step up and help him take care of the borough or municipality he is fighting with to get this project done.
I was just thinking the same thing. As uniform as wood sometimes appears to us, we have to remember it's a natural material, and the trees these timbers were once a part of grew under a lot of random factors, from wind, sun and rain, each imparting their own unique stresses into the grain as the tree grows. Some of that doesn't fully release out until the wood goes from green to seasoned, and even then when you mill it into boards, you often have to do a rough oversized cut, let it relax out, then cut to final dimensions, because if you cut final dimensions first, you may come back the next morning to a slight twist that you now have to cut out, leaving an undersized board. So it's far from a factory-made, uniform, extruded material. In these timbers, the least hidden check or imperfection buried in that wood, at the point of that rope and come-along, and that thing could have cracked, launching Leo literally into the Great Unknown. Had me cringing the entire time!
Watching you figure how you could man handle those beam selves by yourself was a thing of beauty, Leo. Good to hear you're getting the support of the your RUclips community - it's well deserved.
I paused this episode about 15 minutes in to see how much was left to view. I can’t believe how much content you’ve crammed into this episode. I’m sure I’m not the only one that thought the second beamshelf was going to pulverise under the strain! Great episode and work ethics. Also a huge thank you to Marshall for his commitment and ongoing support for cancer. 💕
"How the hell is he going to get those up there by himse...." ::watches dumbfoundedly awestruck:: "...........................well................holy crap..............he did it........." You never cease to amaze me, Leo.
As a former Sapper in the Royal Engineers I have to say a massive well done on the improvisation used in getting those beans up into position single handed. Seriously mate you would have made a fine Combat Engineer with those skills Leo. Cap doffed 😉👍🏼
Dear Leo, since discovering your Tally Ho rebuild channel a few weeks ago, I was hooked. I watched all 67 episodes in a continuous run (about 5 a day). I'm totally awestruck by your accomplishment. Using Tally Ho's decaying and broken hull as a mould, you carefully replaced every timber and frame in her, faithfully preserving her intended lines in a fair and true structure. Brilliant!
As someone who moves large heavy objects in cramped awkward locations for a living, I'm very impressed with the beam shelf move! Especially doing it by yourself!
Clever use of block pulleys to safely pull the beam shelves into place- 1 man doing the work of many. Great news Leo that you will hire a shipwright to help you get Tally Ho to the next stage. I hope the right person is found soon. The way you packaged the threader parts for post shows your eye for perfection.
I've been following Keith Rucker for years. He's kinda like the big gun. So i have no doubt whatsoever that he's gonna do a brilliant job of fixing those parts.
19:25 what could go wrong ? Dude we need you to stay safe !!! This episode was epic in so many ways : pink fireman serial win-wins, joint venture with vintage machinery, huge timber solo handling. You made my week already.
The enormity of this project is mind boggling and I applaud you. I spent a few years fitting out a 36' Pinky. 2 years restoring an Atkin Ingrid gaffer that I sail out of SoCal. Like you I loathe what I call the paperwork, supply runs. I've been concerned what the neighbors, county, liability to your hosts and the distracting pressure unused. Would it make sense to "stabilize" the hull right off in case she would need to be relocated? I have 5 acres in Northern California foothills. 2 homes, 24x56 shop. No neighbors that would complain. I'm retired and could contribute labour when I'm not sailing. I led a team building the hulls for a 46, Wharram Cat here, I believe you met the owner, he's in Florida now about to launch. Cheers.
It seems like the universe is alining for you, help is on it's way in all shapes and forms. Altho I am not in a position to help physically or financially I share your project with anyone that will listen hopefully creating more positive energy to help your build. If renewing your visa requires you to leave the US for a time and if you can renew it in Canada you would be welcome at my home near Vancouver for as long as necessary. I am also working on boat project.
Get Marshall on the helm in days to come, he deserves it. Man wrestles beamshelves, Woman wrestles ear-buds....;-) What you guys are achieving is monumental, I envisage Tally-Ho in my dreams.
Like many others, I watched Keith repair the casting before coming here. It's great to see the RUclips community come together like this, but it is also amazing to the work you are doing with the help of one small parrot. Hats off to you, Leo.,
Brilliant solo engineering - hoisting those beam shelves, dry fit, building ancillary structures, cleaning, shooting, editing, etc. Archimedes and Pathé smile. Bravo, Talley Ho!
Occurs to me Leo, Boatbuilding is like sculpture, after the cutting, planing, sanding, fettling, cursing and cleaning up piles of chips, what remains is a work of art and in fact a boat plus the passage of time.
Leo, you truly are in a class of your own for innovative and creative problem solving. Anyone else would have needed a crew of workers to get the beam shelves located. You did it by yourself and made it look easy. Awesome work.
That’s great man! A friend of mine I work with is suffering with breast cancer and she is a survivor and doesn’t take crap from anyone! Let alone cancer! Fight the good fight!
Absolutely mind blowing how you finessed those huge beams into place by yourself Leo...I know you broke your butt doing it but your ingenuity is phenomenal...hats off to you sir...
Keith Rucker brought me here. Been watching the project all weekend. Binge watched since Keith started your threader. This episode wasn’t in proper chronological order, but at least there were no spoilers, like you sailing away. Totally enthralled in the series. I love how you work diligently on the project, and still find time to have fun and spend time with friends that visit.
Zowie I was on the edge of my seat when you were pully-ing the beam shelves to fit the curve. What a thriller! My son used to teach skin-on-frame umiaq, kayak, baidarka building using steam to bend slats, I've watched a couple cedar planks break and go POW! Always kind of a shocker and like a typical mom I always worried about him getting hit. But what a thriller episode! SOOOO Glad yours did not break. YOU ARE Amazing and I love your channel, love your project. My favorite Sunday treat. God Bless you and the parrot and your lovely girlfriend and your hosts and the deep blue ocean that calls you to create this thing of beauty. GOOO LEO!
Sorry Leo, I’m going to be selfish. I’m not looking forward to the completion of this project. I think you are going at just the right pace. Another great vid.
I came here to say exactly that. All of this on your own is nothing short of wizardry to me. I am soooooo glad my couple of Patreon bucks end up in this project.
I've learned one thing from watching this channel. Build a big enough boathouse to have an overhead crane. Heat, light, air conditioning would be a plus.
I am retired. I just love the camera views that include Francesca fixing up her look whilst you are driving the forklift.. just another day in the restoration..
I had to stop the video and leave this comment, as my heart leaped with joy when you mentioned Keith Rucker. I have been watching him for years, and he does amazing restorations like this. Seeing two of my favorite channels corroborating is the best thing that’s happened this year. Now back to the video... ...and now I’m back. Easily the most satisfying episode in memory. First of all, the crate to ship the pipe threader parts was a thing of beauty - a design and fabrication project unto itself. Then the magnificent depiction of the raising of the beam shelf timbers using the forklift and home built rollers - a masterwork. And then the work convincing the timbers into the shape and position they will spend the rest of their lives. I must admit, there were times I feared some rope would break, the timbers would spring back, and eject Leo into the next county! And the news you might be hiring help to speed things along is particularly welcome. I am so looking forward to seeing Tally Ho moved to the water and sailing away - I am a local and will surely come to watch.
It really is such a pleasure and an honour to watch Leo work and tough it out on some of these hard jobs alone. He's just so inspiring!! I tell my kids sometimes that someone taught Einstein maths - I thank whoever taught Leo and laid the foundations for him to go on to express his GENIUS, which would have happened naturally coz it seems Leo was born with a set of chisels clutched in is hands and a pencil behind his ear. [Sigh] if I knew of a project like this when I was in my 20's I would have PAID to learn from, and work with, LEO until the boat was done!!
Is there no end to the good deeds Marshall will do for good people. The man is a saint. I have found that rigging & tackling projects BY MYSELF is so gratifying. Most anything can be accomplished with thinking through your objective. So far job very well done Leo you are a great shipwright.
This is how I got hooked onto your channel. When I saw you wrestle the keel timber by yourself. And now, coaxing the beam shelves into position, again, all by yourself. The segment with the starboard beam shelf was suspenseful. Everytime the camera shook as you inched the shelf into position, I thought, the whole boat and shed would come crashing down. Well done, Leo.
I've been watching this series since Leo started, like I'm sure many of us here have, I've sent in a $20 spot now and again, but I can't believe it's been 2 years since this all started, it hasn't felt like it's been that long. I hear a lot about this Arabella, but I haven't checked it out....Tally Ho has been the project of my interest.
Arabella's pretty much from scratch, more or less like this one. I follow both of these builds and both are amazing! Arabella's crew are not as experienced as Leo but quite competent.
Arabella is very worth while following and supporting. Arabella is very much of the same quality of workmanship. They are beginning to have their share of troubles from "Officialdom" also.
@@jimbranham3281 give it a rest, the acorn boat will worm rot within a decade. on the other hand Tally Ho's best of the best boat building materials, live oak, purple heart wood will last a century. it's like comparing a Timex watch and Diamond Swiss watch lol
@@chop_chuiey2327 Both channels are guys doing what they love to the best of their ability.. There really is no need to compare them as some form of cock showing competition. I'm sure neither of the channels nore the majority of those who watch appreciate that sort of comment.
Yeah I've followed Arabella for a few years and of course Tally Ho..both are wonderful to watch with each having tenacity and attention to detail at the forefront of every Vid.
You continue to amaze with your skills as a wood worker and boat builder. Your fabrication of various tools and gadgets to get the job at hand done are top notch. You should teach that lovely young lady of yours to film the videos and edit them. That would free you up to do more of the project and give her more to do. Cheers !!
In addition to the very good comment made below about having a perspex cover to the chart table, I advocate the use of a light with a flexible "neck", and the nightlight facility so that night sight is not compromised - I have found that RED is the preferable colour, despite it knocking out some of the items on the chart which may just happen to be red!. A dimmer (rheostat) switch is also good. Perhaps I can add to the other kindly thoughts expressed here about the sheer quality of the woodwork. It is without doubt, outstanding. Well done Nick, especially in this highly visible area. Sometimes, especially in slightly heavy weather, it is tricky keeping your backside on the bench. An easy answer to this is to fit a lap belt (!) to hold you in. It's also easy to stow when it is not needed. I hope these ideas give you a chance to pre-empt the problems connected to building a "new" boat. All good wishes!
Amazing one man rigging; the simple pulley---thousands of years old and still as useful as ever. For those who have never done so, using a 16" Makita saw, especially to make important cuts, is a hugely scary operation; the rim speed and kick back on a cut gone wrong is nothing you want to happen. It's a tell your grandkids type of story. There's lots of good reasons we don't see Leo or others, using this beast very often.
at ten minutes into this episode i have to pause and say that it’s been amazing to be able to at least participate if only as a viewer. i began watching around the second or third segment, i guess that’s already a couple years now. wow. anyway, i feel connected in my own little way and i would love to be able to do more. maybe time and finances will allow for that in the future, there’s certainly a ways to go until this enterprise comes to a completion. it’s a privilege to have been able to witness this amazing endeavor and my best wishes to everyone else who is in league with leo, a boat builder and sailor. thanks, everyone and of course thank you so much, mr. leo! tally ho! -indeed 😁
I find myself utterly fascinated by the layers of problem solving needed for every phase of this project. The meticulous level of craftsmanship bodes well for the future of Sampson Boats.
When Leo pulled out that massive sledge to inch the beam shelf forward just a bit - I laughed, thinking it looked like a cartoon or some sort of caricature. But with the first swing - and the huge 'smack' reverberating from all over, I realized this is a real tool, doing a real job!! Wow!
I was amazed when I saw Keith working on the threading machine. You got the right person for the job there. Are you having significant visa issues? I wondered if your delay in returning was due to US bureaucracy.
OMG The hammer of Thor.....You sir are a very smart young man.....These are the very best days of your life.....Your lady friend is so beautiful in every way....Hang on to her cause life is short....l himself me are 77 years old now......Thank you very much...Beautiful Bird and all...From Kentucky...!
2:05 I take notice of how fair, the hull design is complete to rudder. To the task of pilot cutter and swift delivery to awaiting...inbound cargo laden, departing voyagers. I find I sleep very well, when rocked by waves....at a berth in such a craft. *Though my vessel...was much smaller.Upon...awakening....rather hungry and surprised at a changed view...every morning. I chanced to think of the latin...translation. "Leo ho talliam oh maria"......Leo tally ho to the sea."....
And to think I almost skipped over Mr. Ruckers hum-drum "brazing repair" video (hehe), I never would have found the Sampson Boat Co. I appreciate anyone's effort to take something old and make it new again and you have no doubt accomplished that here, Leo. Keep up the great work and I so look forward to seeing more progress.
Yeah. I'm not into steam engines, but Keith is just such a top quality tradesman that it's a joy watching him. Very satisfying to see a proper job each and every time.
I was honored and humbled to have Marshall’s awesome truck (and Marshall) in my driveway yesterday to get a load of Steve Cross’ live oak. Now I can finally stop pestering you about purchasing some of your cast offs. 🤓 What a wonderful group of people you have attracted to yourself with this project. Blessings and best wishes to you.
mgmcd1 - ENJOY!
I’ve watched dozens of Keith Ruckers videos after seeing him repair your threading machine. Nice guy with a lot of knowledge.
Marshal is all Fireman; hard working, patient, intense focus & attention to detail, laid-back, unselfish, and humble. Safe travels, brother.
Oh my, thank you sir.

Good note, but let's hope that when Tally Ho goes on a voyage, the purser won't be miserly !
Yes, it's obviously not the same boat
Even the joints on the small packing box he made were perfect.
Damn

Using the pipe clamps as axles was pure genius. Modern day MacGyver!
I stopped the video to post this exact comment!

Occurs to me Leo, Boatbuilding is like sculpture, after the cutting, planing, sanding, fettling, cursing and cleaning up piles of chips, what remains is a work of art and in fact a boat plus the passage of time.
Leo, you truly are in a class of your own for innovative and creative problem solving. Anyone else would have needed a crew of workers to get the beam shelves located. You did it by yourself and made it look easy.
Awesome work.
That’s great man! A friend of mine I work with is suffering with breast cancer and she is a survivor and doesn’t take crap from anyone! Let alone cancer! Fight the good fight!
Absolutely mind blowing how you finessed those huge beams into place by yourself Leo...I know you broke your butt doing it but your ingenuity is phenomenal...hats off to you sir...
God bless Marshall. There's a heart of gold. :)
7:25 Great to hear the StarBoat is going to such a good home.
Keith Rucker brought me here. Been watching the project all weekend. Binge watched since Keith started your threader. This episode wasn’t in proper chronological order, but at least there were no spoilers, like you sailing away. Totally enthralled in the series. I love how you work diligently on the project, and still find time to have fun and spend time with friends that visit.
Zowie I was on the edge of my seat when you were pully-ing the beam shelves to fit the curve. What a thriller! My son used to teach skin-on-frame umiaq, kayak, baidarka building using steam to bend slats, I've watched a couple cedar planks break and go POW! Always kind of a shocker and like a typical mom I always worried about him getting hit.
But what a thriller episode! SOOOO Glad yours did not break. YOU ARE Amazing and I love your channel, love your project. My favorite Sunday treat. God Bless you and the parrot and your lovely girlfriend and your hosts and the deep blue ocean that calls you to create this thing of beauty. GOOO LEO!
This is cool, We get to see when Pete came on board.
Sorry Leo, I’m going to be selfish. I’m not looking forward to the completion of this project. I think you are going at just the right pace. Another great vid.
Cool to see the ingenuity getting those beams up there by yourself
Yes.. you manhandle that big ass timber like a boss. All by yourself.
I came here to say exactly that. All of this on your own is nothing short of wizardry to me. I am soooooo glad my couple of Patreon bucks end up in this project.
@Lancashirelad No, Leo works with wood not stone!!!!
Kudos to the Pink Fireman. Best of luck identifying a qualified person to take on assisting in the build.
I've learned one thing from watching this channel. Build a big enough boathouse to have an overhead crane. Heat, light, air conditioning would be a plus.
I am retired. I just love the camera views that include Francesca fixing up her look whilst you are driving the forklift.. just another day in the restoration..
I had to stop the video and leave this comment, as my heart leaped with joy when you mentioned Keith Rucker. I have been watching him for years, and he does amazing restorations like this. Seeing two of my favorite channels corroborating is the best thing that’s happened this year. Now back to the video...
...and now I’m back. Easily the most satisfying episode in memory. First of all, the crate to ship the pipe threader parts was a thing of beauty - a design and fabrication project unto itself. Then the magnificent depiction of the raising of the beam shelf timbers using the forklift and home built rollers - a masterwork. And then the work convincing the timbers into the shape and position they will spend the rest of their lives. I must admit, there were times I feared some rope would break, the timbers would spring back, and eject Leo into the next county! And the news you might be hiring help to speed things along is particularly welcome. I am so looking forward to seeing Tally Ho moved to the water and sailing away - I am a local and will surely come to watch.
Two facts: 1.) This is the most episode of any channel I've ever watched, by far. 2.) As an avid woodworker, I'm learning so much. Thanks, Leo.
It really is such a pleasure and an honour to watch Leo work and tough it out on some of these hard jobs alone. He's just so inspiring!!
I tell my kids sometimes that someone taught Einstein maths - I thank whoever taught Leo and laid the foundations for him to go on to express his GENIUS, which would have happened naturally coz it seems Leo was born with a set of chisels clutched in is hands and a pencil behind his ear.
[Sigh] if I knew of a project like this when I was in my 20's I would have PAID to learn from, and work with, LEO until the boat was done!!
Marshall pinking his pin. Made my heart melt. What a man
I kept thinking "oh please someone help him!" and I wish I was there because this is a huge job to be doing all by your self.
Keith Rucker is a good ole South Georgia boy that does great work.
Marshall, what a legend!
Is there no end to the good deeds Marshall will do for good people. The man is a saint. I have found that rigging & tackling projects BY MYSELF is so gratifying. Most anything can be accomplished with thinking through your objective. So far job very well done Leo you are a great shipwright.
To kind, just wanted to help.
@@marshallmoneymaker8322 Help is an understatement.
That looked like an absolutely nerve wracking procedure - "Don't break....don't breal... don't break....." ! LOL
Love the mallet!
wow what a champion Marshall is
Much love and respect to Marshall!
Thanks to Keith Rucker, I found your channel. Just finishing watching all the episodes over the last several weeks.
Personally, I am happy with the pace of construction. I love watching this stuff. Whatever you do is amazing to me.
This is how I got hooked onto your channel. When I saw you wrestle the keel timber by yourself. And now, coaxing the beam shelves into position, again, all by yourself. The segment with the starboard beam shelf was suspenseful. Everytime the camera shook as you inched the shelf into position, I thought, the whole boat and shed would come crashing down. Well done, Leo.
I've been watching this series since Leo started, like I'm sure many of us here have, I've sent in a $20 spot now and again, but I can't believe it's been 2 years since this all started, it hasn't felt like it's been that long. I hear a lot about this Arabella, but I haven't checked it out....Tally Ho has been the project of my interest.
Arabella's pretty much from scratch, more or less like this one. I follow both of these builds and both are amazing! Arabella's crew are not as experienced as Leo but quite competent.
Arabella is very worth while following and supporting. Arabella is very much of the same quality of workmanship. They are beginning to have their share of troubles from "Officialdom" also.
@@jimbranham3281 give it a rest, the acorn boat will worm rot within a decade. on the other hand Tally Ho's best of the best boat building materials, live oak, purple heart wood will last a century. it's like comparing a Timex watch and Diamond Swiss watch lol
@@chop_chuiey2327 Both channels are guys doing what they love to the best of their ability.. There really is no need to compare them as some form of cock showing competition. I'm sure neither of the channels nore the majority of those who watch appreciate that sort of comment.
Yeah I've followed Arabella for a few years and of course Tally Ho..both are wonderful to watch with each having tenacity and attention to detail at the forefront of every Vid.
You continue to amaze with your skills as a wood worker and boat builder. Your fabrication of various tools and gadgets to get the job at hand done are top notch. You should teach that lovely young lady of yours to film the videos and edit them. That would free you up to do more of the project and give her more to do. Cheers !!
Looks like a perfectly good place to stand whilst using a hammer of that magnitude. Engage safety squints!
The 'hammer of magnitude' nice title.
You must watch AVE?
He's been held in place by the sheer weight of his balls,.
In addition to the very good comment made below about having a perspex cover to the chart table, I advocate the use of a light with a flexible "neck", and the nightlight facility so that night sight is not compromised - I have found that RED is the preferable colour, despite it knocking out some of the items on the chart which may just happen to be red!. A dimmer (rheostat) switch is also good.
Perhaps I can add to the other kindly thoughts expressed here about the sheer quality of the woodwork. It is without doubt, outstanding. Well done Nick, especially in this highly visible area.
Sometimes, especially in slightly heavy weather, it is tricky keeping your backside on the bench. An easy answer to this is to fit a lap belt (!) to hold you in. It's also easy to stow when it is not needed. I hope these ideas give you a chance to pre-empt the problems connected to building a "new" boat. All good wishes!
The Egyptians have called. They want you to come back 👍
Thank god I found this after France just got creamed by Scotland; something to live for....cheers...rr Normandy, France
Richard Rider - Just think how many players would have been sent off not too many years ago!
Amazing one man rigging; the simple pulley---thousands of years old and still as useful as ever. For those who have never done so, using a 16" Makita saw, especially to make important cuts, is a hugely scary operation; the rim speed and kick back on a cut gone wrong is nothing you want to happen. It's a tell your grandkids type of story. There's lots of good reasons we don't see Leo or others, using this beast very often.
Cant imagine how long it would take if there were no electricity, love how you matched the outer side of the beam shelf to the frame!
That pink fireman is pretty good on the spanners. What a top bloke.
And is great to see a sailor bring his rope and blokes to the build,
at ten minutes into this episode i have to pause and say that it’s been amazing to be able to at least participate if only as a viewer. i began watching around the second or third segment, i guess that’s already a couple years now. wow. anyway, i feel connected in my own little way and i would love to be able to do more. maybe time and finances will allow for that in the future, there’s certainly a ways to go until this enterprise comes to a completion. it’s a privilege to have been able to witness this amazing endeavor and my best wishes to everyone else who is in league with leo, a boat builder and sailor. thanks, everyone and of course thank you so much, mr. leo! tally ho! -indeed 😁
I find myself utterly fascinated by the layers of problem solving needed for every phase of this project. The meticulous level of craftsmanship bodes well for the future of Sampson Boats.
When Leo is going to sail it..I will consider it as my achievement as well!!!
When Leo pulled out that massive sledge to inch the beam shelf forward just a bit - I laughed, thinking it looked like a cartoon or some sort of caricature. But with the first swing - and the huge 'smack' reverberating from all over, I realized this is a real tool, doing a real job!! Wow!
I was amazed when I saw Keith working on the threading machine. You got the right person for the job there. Are you having significant visa issues? I wondered if your delay in returning was due to US bureaucracy.
There are some amazing, kind and generous people in this world.
Keith got it fixed!
That's great news - large parts of Ms. Tally's structural strength will depend on properly-threaded bronze bolts.
OMG The hammer of Thor.....You sir are a very smart young man.....These are the very best days of your life.....Your lady friend is so beautiful in every way....Hang on to her cause life is short....l himself me are 77 years old now......Thank you very much...Beautiful Bird and all...From Kentucky...!
steve shoemaker - Well said Sir.
2:05 I take notice of how fair, the hull design is complete to rudder. To the task of pilot cutter and swift delivery to awaiting...inbound cargo laden, departing voyagers. I find I sleep very well, when rocked by waves....at a berth in such a craft. *Though my vessel...was much smaller.Upon...awakening....rather hungry and surprised at a changed view...every morning.
I chanced to think of the latin...translation.
"Leo ho talliam oh maria"......Leo tally ho to the sea."....
bro are you high? Your latin's trash too
@@piergiorgio919 Oh yes....for you...."provacatio exemplum",,natur.
All I can say is Wow!! If it wasn't on video it would be hard to believe one man could do that. Way to go !
By the way nice to see that you got the star to a good home finally
And to think I almost skipped over Mr. Ruckers hum-drum "brazing repair" video (hehe), I never would have found the Sampson Boat Co. I appreciate anyone's effort to take something old and make it new again and you have no doubt accomplished that here, Leo. Keep up the great work and I so look forward to seeing more progress.
Bernard Moitessier - "in the fight between man and steel, it's man who is strongest". Works for wood too ;-)
What great music and editing. You are a master videographer. You know this when 20 minutes seems like five! Keep um coming Leo.
Hey, Leo! Wile E Coyote wants his mallet back! 😆
🤣😂 Yeah! And with the steel ring found, split, resized, re-welded, and reinstalled! lol!
I have a wooden mallet that is bigger in diameter and I think slightly longer.
After watching you handling the beam shelves alone, it took me a few minutes to find a word. INTREPID.
Saw the video with Keith repairing the broken casting, I watch Keith's videos too
Yeah. I'm not into steam engines, but Keith is just such a top quality tradesman that it's a joy watching him. Very satisfying to see a proper job each and every time.
Gotta love Uncle Keith! He's a good man to be sure. I honestly don't remember seeing that video so I'll need to go back and look for it.
Does Thor know you've got his hammer?
I think it's just standard Tonya Harding model...
