When I was in elementary school - age 8 - the teacher told us that terms like 'port' and 'starboard' were relics from northern-European sea exploration: since they were in the north, they were exploring in the south, so each time they reached a new port it was on their left. Even at age 8 this sounded a bit hand-wavey... what about when they were returning home? I asked; the teacher said I had an attitude problem and needed to shut up. Like 80%of what I learned in school, the teacher's explanation had little to do with reality. Prior to the invention of a central rudder, from ancient Egyptian carvings in stone through the Bayeaux Taperstry's depiction of the Norman invasion in thread, ships were depicted being steered with an over-sized oar on the right side. (Historians assume it was on the right because people tend to be right-handed or have a stronger right arm. This sounds a bit hand-wavery to me, but I am left-handed.) Northern Europeans called this over-sized oar the 'steorboard': the 'steering board'. When pulling into port, they naturally situated the ship with that side *away* from the dock - otherwise the steorboard would get trapped between the dock and the ship. So the left side was called 'port', and the right side (in later English) 'starboard', long after the steorboard itself had been replaced by central rudders. Thanks for nothing, Ms Munson.
I know this comment is two years old but I’d like to thank you for an explanation of port and starboard that I think may actually stick with me. I learn by better knowing why something is called what it is rather than just being told “here’s the word, memorize it”. Now when I read another historical novel featuring naval battles I’ll be slightly less lost thanks to you. Bravo Brother
Another late addition... The derivation of the term "starboard" is even clearer in German. The German word is "Steuerbord", with port being "Backbord". The German word for steering is "steuern", so Steuerbord is "the side you steer from". The derivation of the German "Backbord" is a little more complex, since "Back" in German seaman's terms has several meanings. One is the bow of the ship, and doesn't apply here. Another apparently is a bowl or vessel used for serving food on board, and therefore also a group of the crew who eat ("mess") together. However, digging through an online thesaurus of German, the particular derivation of "Backbord" goes back to old English and Dutch. According to this, the helmsman faced the steering oar, therefore the opposite side of the ship was to his back, a word that survived into modern English. So the German Backbord would be "the side of the ship to the helmsman's back".

Probably annoyed or insulted (needlessly) by Leo's explanation of boat terminology. I'm very well versed in that subject, however I watched it anyway because there is a great deal of names and terminology for parts of the boat that are exclusive to wooden boats that I don't know as well or at all. So it was still educational and valuable even if you are composite, steel, alloy or otherwise boat person/builder/fixer etc.
Anyone who has ever wondered why traditionally built boats are so expensive need only look at the making of the patterns for the hanging knees. Keep the explanations coming Leo.
I find myself already lamenting the fact that Leo will not be documenting his time at sea. I wish with all my heart that we could all continue the journey into that season of life. This is by far the best show on the Tube.
Please don't hesitate to do more of these informational segments! Even the "bland" list of names scribbled on the drawings was very interesting. Add your little bits of information and you made it a fantastically interesting segment. Maybe you could also intertwine shorter segments like these into the normal videos to keep it from getting long-winded
@Piers Bird I'm sorry you think that! I find Pete's personality (and the way he interacts with the camera) to be honest, straightforward, and very humorous. I think most people can see the comedy in our interaction, and enjoy the contrast in characters. More importantly, he's also extremely skilled, and will be staying on the team if I can help it!
After watching since the beginning, I have realized how simple and trivial my projects are. I now relax and enjoy them instead of thinking of them as chores. Thank you Leo for allowing the journey on a project to outshine the destination.
Great series, I’ve been watching for two years, and look forward to the next two years, and the next. Better than anything on TV. Best wishes to Leo, Pete, and all the outstanding volunteers that make the project possible.
I still can't help but feel a little envy for the working space you've procured for yourself. Anyhow, the terminology has been really helpful, and I'm glad the castings are now going smoothly. Oh, and Pete's getting snarkier by the minute, I love it.
Loving how polished all that bronze is looking! Even if no one ever sees it again, you'll always know. Pete seems to be enjoying the camera a little more now!
Leo is one of the most impressive people I’ve ever had the pleasure to know (via internet) I’ve known craftsman in my life but never one so young! Right on Leo!
if you watch the inspection it did look like some of the stuff would be salvageable before he started. If you replace one bumper and Fender on your car is it the same one what about it the next year you replace the other fenders and then the motor 5 years later
@@genofashion7067 You seem somewhat obsessed. At least that's what i would call someone that continually posts the same BS comment in pretty much every comment thread. Might want to talk to a professional and try to get your upstairs department fixed because something's clearly loose up there. Please do so before you end up wanting to physically hurt Leo because that leads to jail time.
Top work. Those floors are works of art and I can’t wait to see the elbows. Maybe they’re horrendously over-engineered, but we love it all the more for it!
That was a fantastic explanation of terms. There is quite a lot of new vocabulary and a reminder every now and again in compilation form like this is wonderful. I would certainly love to hear more in the future. Please keep it up.
Just want to say how much I enjoy Pete's explanations. Leo, you are always great too but I think that goes without saying when you watch this amazing project!
@@fingerbottom as patterns for casting they would likely be too rough, holding the sand when attempting to remove from the casting boxes without a lot of work to smooth them. There will also be subtle differences in the frames and beam shelfs between the original build with its years of damage and repairs and the current rebuild. Iron knees may also be fabricated thinner as a suspect it would have a higher tensile strength than bronze. Probably simpler and safer to make new patterns from scratch.
Wow! Each one of those plugs is a piece of art in itself. But when they're cast and polished they are masterpieces! And I don't care you won't see the floors when it's done. Leo knows they're in there and that's what's important, and thanks to the interwebs we all know they're in there and what it took to do that. As a model builder I know how annoying it is when you know something's not the way you want it, even when it's out of sight!
Those polished knees are going to look fabulous on the inside - wow! I would've gotten at least a "B" on a quiz about the parts, maybe even an "A" due to attending all your classes with a focused attention I've not had for many years out of respect for your absolutely excellent craftsmanship. As I ponder that thought I have to say Leo, you were the right guy at the right time to bring this magical project forward for the world to enjoy. Good to see Clark back putting the most beautiful pieces of bronze work ever to grace the belly of a bilge. As I think about this adventure as a whole, this will be the most magnificent project I think one could be along for on YT, it truly is a magical thing. I foresee the planking phase progressing with absolute perfection with Pete's fairing work. That is going to be stunning to enjoy as this piece of art will be beyond better than the original, I know Mr Strange is smiling down on you with the greatest love and respect in a mans heart imaginable. When the day comes that you sail her back into the port of England you will bring tears to the eye's of those who have been along for this journey, and deservedly so.
Interesting lexicon lesson, though I'd long ago looked up the terms I didn't understand. I applaud you for modernizing Tally Ho as you go, and I hope you will continue to do so when it comes to infrastructure and systems. RIP Mr. McGuire.
Given that all racing was cancelled this season, including the Newport to Bermuda race, your videos are a godsend. Thank you so much. You just made my day
Two years ago I wouldn't have understood much of the boat terminology. Thanks to Leo, and all his workmates, I understood pretty much everything. What a glorious education it's been.
You can't beat Leos teaching combined with the performances of Poncho. I use to watch it before I go to sleep, to finish my day with good thougts of accomplishment.
Glad you brought back the traditional intro ("Hello, my name is Leo and I am a..."). The terminology portion is greatly appreciated. Learned a couple. More would be appreciated.
Awesome quality build... there is never a moment when an observer is left with the impression that this boat can't last 100-years and beyond. Which is Incredible truly ....
I'm a Wood Machinist/Furniture Maker in Australia, and only after watching Leo and his team and Louis Sauzeddes videos, have I come to realise that Shipwrights and wooden boat builders are the pinnacle of woodworking trades. All the tools used are the same, only everything is done so much more fluidly. Every cut is a compound mitre and every curve is also curving on multiple planes. Hats off to you Leo, keep the videos coming. I wait for them every week.
A BOAT (re)build !? More like a ART project, done with PRIDE mixed with Labor of Love. Pete also is very descriptive, same with Clark.👍 You, Leo, have made my view of 'wooden' boats very different. Thank you AND ALL, VERY MUCH!
Thank you so much for the vocabulary lesson. For a land-locked land-lubber such as myself who feels the call of the ocean, but has never had action to answer that call, I appreciate it. Love all of the channels I have found from building small boats from scratch to these large resto-rebuilds. As I am currently disabled and have never broken that $40k annual income bracket, this is but a pipe dream for some one like me, but I can dream through channels of this sort. For this I am in your debt. You, sir, have my gratitude.
Yes, please do continue the instructional portion found at the beginning of this video. I, for one, do not know everything about everything, and it is very helpful to hear terminology explanations regards a specialized topic.
Those knee patterns are a huge amount of work to fabricate, but cast in bronze they are going to fit the bill perfectly over those iron knees. Great job Leo and crew. Pancho is going to love his new palace!
It’s been about a month now since I found Leo’s videos they are fantastic I’ve gone back and watched every single one from the beginning and everything that Was put out for the Sampson boat company I love how Leo is very knowledgeable about tally ho and boat building I love all the history when I watch the videos I catch myself laughing I enjoy them because I see poncho strutting around on the planks and it’s nice to see the dogs running around and playing everyone who has volunteered or who has helped with the rebuilding of tally ho are fantastic I have even recommended Leo’s videos to other people for the content as to the technical aspects of wooden boatbuilding I remember going up to Victoria it was during the wooden boat festival back in the 90s I enjoyed it very much it brings back memories of some very beautiful boats
Lots of beautiful bronze. I think it would be fantastic to see a budget for this rebuild, specifically on expenditures. I would be fascinating to see how much was spent on wood materials for various components, bronze (material and casting labor), fasteners, etc., and as the build progresses, outfitting and fixtures, rigging, sails, etc.
Hi Chris, Leo has given some rough cost info in his vids. I've kept track of timber for the boat (includes most shipping cost): $6k - Purpleheart for keel $10k - Purpleheart for centerline $28k - Southern Live Oak for frames $26k - Wana for hull planking & Angelique for longitudinal beams (excluding trans-shipment costs & 7 months in the dryer kiln) $14k - White Oak for deck beams (excluding delivery?) So that's US$ 84,000 min, call it closer to 100 for raw timber delivered to the yard.
One hell of a bird's house :-) gotta love Pete. Hmm, two dogs... if there is a second parrot and a couple of other animal- paires, I'll start worrying ;-)
Leo, you have it all wrong. You are not restoring a boat! You are renovating a fine, fine piece of turn of the century furniture that just happens to float and accomodates sails. Truly marvelous workmanship, attention to detail and honoring the history. You are channeling both James Krenov and Sam Maloof.
"Pete" What more can I say. Loved the first 10 min. I am NOT a Sailor or Shipwright so thanks. I am proud of and for you in your vision and dedication. Keep doing what you do.
As I lay under the stars, pondering how it all was created, up comes a Tally Ho video describing how a wooden boat is made, and the names of it parts. What a very satisfying endeavor, Leo; for you and very certainly for us.
While, I know I'm a few months late; but I'm really enjoying seeing apprentice/journeyman level woodworking from Mr. Chainsaw and Skil-saw. It's even better that all that work is going into a piece that won't actually be IN the boat. All kidding aside, beautiful work Leo and crew!
I know absolutely nothing about boats or boatbuilding and am captivated by this channel. What an incredible education and wealth of information sharing you are doing. Truly, thank you for taking the time to document and share your journey and include others in the learning process. While I will likely never be one to build a big boat, this does make me want to build my own small wood boat, even if it ends up being nothing more than a wooden canoe or dinghy. You are definitely inspiring the current and next generation.
I did find the terminology very interesting and thank you for explaining it, and with all the patterns your making you could build a second boat at sometime.
Leo, Couldn’t picture any other shipwright as energetic, skillful and as in tune to this project as Pete. Well done. Hope you have as much luck with your new apprentice.
Hey Pete! I'm a callipygiologist. So I, too, admire a shapely bottom with fair curves and a nice tuck. I always want to fondle the the turn of the bilge and run my fingers along the tuck. I also love all the exquisite boat jewelry you guys are creating. Made by the lost wood (since it would require far too much wax, i suppose) casting method and polished to a dazzling mirrored finish.
So I happened upon these videos last week after looking for something to watch with the sound down while working. The next thing I know, I've watched the entire series and have gotten so invested in what's going on that I can't watch it while I'm working because I won't get anything done and I want to hear what everyone's saying. However, I have made sure to never skip through the commercials to make sure that you get all of that ad revenue to help in building your boat. (I might add that some of those commercials are 45 minutes long.) Anyways, it has been very inspiring to watch and has caused me to reflect on how important it is to stop making excuses and chase your dreams. Thanks for sharing your journey and look forward to watching where it goes from here.
Basic boatbuilding terminology is a fine addition to this series. Use these terms going forward and reference new viewers to this 1st "Rosetta stone" episode to keep your effficiency high.

All videos will get some dislikes. It's best to consider the like to dislike rate. Currently the dislike% is .001%.
I don't see a thumbs down🤷🏻♂️
Perhaps one must comment on the reason a thumbs down was given in order for it to take.
If someone happens upon a video on RUclips which isn't to their taste, and doesn't want more videos on the same theme, then clicking thumbs down is a sensible way to tell RUclips's software. It is no reflection of the content, other than to say it isn't to your taste.
Probably annoyed or insulted (needlessly) by Leo's explanation of boat terminology. I'm very well versed in that subject, however I watched it anyway because there is a great deal of names and terminology for parts of the boat that are exclusive to wooden boats that I don't know as well or at all. So it was still educational and valuable even if you are composite, steel, alloy or otherwise boat person/builder/fixer etc.
Anyone who has ever wondered why traditionally built boats are so expensive need only look at the making of the patterns for the hanging knees. Keep the explanations coming Leo.
"Watcha ya doing Pete?" never gets old. That being said Pete has dramatically improved his explanation of what he is actually doing.
One day he's going to look up and ask "Watcha doing Leo?"
I find myself already lamenting the fact that Leo will not be documenting his time at sea. I wish with all my heart that we could all continue the journey into that season of life. This is by far the best show on the Tube.
It occurs to me you may super enjoy Patrick O’Brian’s series of books on British Navy, late 18th-early 19th centuries.
That little tutorial at the beginning was great,: the more the merrier.
Glad you liked it!
Please don't hesitate to do more of these informational segments! Even the "bland" list of names scribbled on the drawings was very interesting. Add your little bits of information and you made it a fantastically interesting segment. Maybe you could also intertwine shorter segments like these into the normal videos to keep it from getting long-winded
Grand update. Pete’s becoming a reluctant star... 🇨🇦🤣
Yes, and it seems he's getting used to the role doesn't it?
@@lkn4jolly You really spoke a lot of nonsense there.
@Piers Bird I'm sorry you think that! I find Pete's personality (and the way he interacts with the camera) to be honest, straightforward, and very humorous. I think most people can see the comedy in our interaction, and enjoy the contrast in characters. More importantly, he's also extremely skilled, and will be staying on the team if I can help it!
We need more Cello music. Its amazing
This is the chance of a lifetime to learn about wooden boats. The more the better.
After watching since the beginning, I have realized how simple and trivial my projects are. I now relax and enjoy them instead of thinking of them as chores. Thank you Leo for allowing the journey on a project to outshine the destination.
Great series, I’ve been watching for two years, and look forward to the next two years, and the next. Better than anything on TV. Best wishes to Leo, Pete, and all the outstanding volunteers that make the project possible.
those polished floors are just stupid beautiful.. I'd never be able to resist getting them to a high sheen.. well done that man!
I still can't help but feel a little envy for the working space you've procured for yourself. Anyhow, the terminology has been really helpful, and I'm glad the castings are now going smoothly. Oh, and Pete's getting snarkier by the minute, I love it.
Love the interaction between Leo and Pete. Perfect unscripted comedy.
Loving how polished all that bronze is looking! Even if no one ever sees it again, you'll always know. Pete seems to be enjoying the camera a little more now!
Props to Pete - doing a thankless job that will only be visible if it isn't done well, and usually done by himself with only Pancho to help.
Leo is one of the most impressive people I’ve ever had the pleasure to know (via internet) I’ve known craftsman in my life but never one so young! Right on Leo!
Yippee, Leo’s back. Info for us landlubbers
@@genofashion7067 mean comment
if you watch the inspection it did look like some of the stuff would be salvageable before he started. If you replace one bumper and Fender on your car is it the same one what about it the next year you replace the other fenders and then the motor 5 years later
@@genofashion7067 You seem somewhat obsessed. At least that's what i would call someone that continually posts the same BS comment in pretty much every comment thread. Might want to talk to a professional and try to get your upstairs department fixed because something's clearly loose up there. Please do so before you end up wanting to physically hurt Leo because that leads to jail time.
aarrgggg. Speak for yourself lassie!
there goes our excuse to use landlubber terminology ;-)
Top work. Those floors are works of art and I can’t wait to see the elbows. Maybe they’re horrendously over-engineered, but we love it all the more for it!
That was a fantastic explanation of terms. There is quite a lot of new vocabulary and a reminder every now and again in compilation form like this is wonderful. I would certainly love to hear more in the future. Please keep it up.
The color coded pictorial to go with the vocbulary lesson was a great teacher's touch as well.
Just want to say how much I enjoy Pete's explanations. Leo, you are always great too but I think that goes without saying when you watch this amazing project!
What a skilled craftsman Leo is, making those patterns for hanging knees. They alone as is are works of art!
You'd think the iron knees could be used as templates.
@@fingerbottom as patterns for casting they would likely be too rough, holding the sand when attempting to remove from the casting boxes without a lot of work to smooth them. There will also be subtle differences in the frames and beam shelfs between the original build with its years of damage and repairs and the current rebuild. Iron knees may also be fabricated thinner as a suspect it would have a higher tensile strength than bronze. Probably simpler and safer to make new patterns from scratch.
Wow! Each one of those plugs is a piece of art in itself. But when they're cast and polished they are masterpieces! And I don't care you won't see the floors when it's done. Leo knows they're in there and that's what's important, and thanks to the interwebs we all know they're in there and what it took to do that. As a model builder I know how annoying it is when you know something's not the way you want it, even when it's out of sight!
Those polished knees are going to look fabulous on the inside - wow!
I would've gotten at least a "B" on a quiz about the parts, maybe even an "A" due to attending all your classes with a focused attention I've not had for many years out of respect for your absolutely excellent craftsmanship. As I ponder that thought I have to say Leo, you were the right guy at the right time to bring this magical project forward for the world to enjoy.
Good to see Clark back putting the most beautiful pieces of bronze work ever to grace the belly of a bilge.
As I think about this adventure as a whole, this will be the most magnificent project I think one could be along for on YT, it truly is a magical thing.
I foresee the planking phase progressing with absolute perfection with Pete's fairing work. That is going to be stunning to enjoy as this piece of art will be beyond better than the original, I know Mr Strange is smiling down on you with the greatest love and respect in a mans heart imaginable. When the day comes that you sail her back into the port of England you will bring tears to the eye's of those who have been along for this journey, and deservedly so.
Indeed. That's some serious bilge bling there.
Interesting lexicon lesson, though I'd long ago looked up the terms I didn't understand. I applaud you for modernizing Tally Ho as you go, and I hope you will continue to do so when it comes to infrastructure and systems. RIP Mr. McGuire.
Yes to more boat terminology! That was really neat and helpful!
From zero to some understanding. Being able to follow your explanations make watching your work that much more enjoyable! Thank you!
Given that all racing was cancelled this season, including the Newport to Bermuda race, your videos are a godsend. Thank you so much. You just made my day
Two years ago I wouldn't have understood much of the boat terminology. Thanks to Leo, and all his workmates, I understood pretty much everything. What a glorious education it's been.
Cello music on the bronze floor part was very elegant! I hope it was the cello - lol
You can't beat Leos teaching combined with the performances of Poncho. I use to watch it before I go to sleep, to finish my day with good thougts of accomplishment.
I can only imagine how much machine maintenance, changing blades, sharpening, replacing you must all do...great series 🇨🇦
Glad you brought back the traditional intro ("Hello, my name is Leo and I am a..."). The terminology portion is greatly appreciated. Learned a couple. More would be appreciated.
If you see a Sampson Boat Co notification, click instantly - it's that simple.
I'm happy to see that this just isn't a boat building project, but also an offering for an apprentice.
Awesome quality build... there is never a moment when an observer is left with the impression that this boat can't last 100-years and beyond. Which is Incredible truly ....
I'm a Wood Machinist/Furniture Maker in Australia, and only after watching Leo and his team and Louis Sauzeddes videos, have I come to realise that Shipwrights and wooden boat builders are the pinnacle of woodworking trades.
All the tools used are the same, only everything is done so much more fluidly. Every cut is a compound mitre and every curve is also curving on multiple planes.
Hats off to you Leo, keep the videos coming. I wait for them every week.
A BOAT (re)build !? More like a ART project, done with PRIDE mixed with Labor of Love. Pete also is very descriptive, same with Clark.👍
You, Leo, have made my view of 'wooden' boats very different.
Thank you AND ALL, VERY MUCH!
Everything you do is interesting and not worth bypassing. I never want to miss a second of your videos.
Glossary of terms was very helpful, I knew most already but still interesting - more welcome
I couldn't agree more!
@@FiferSkipper Same for me!!!
Thank you so much for the vocabulary lesson. For a land-locked land-lubber such as myself who feels the call of the ocean, but has never had action to answer that call, I appreciate it. Love all of the channels I have found from building small boats from scratch to these large resto-rebuilds. As I am currently disabled and have never broken that $40k annual income bracket, this is but a pipe dream for some one like me, but I can dream through channels of this sort. For this I am in your debt. You, sir, have my gratitude.
Yes, please do continue the instructional portion found at the beginning of this video. I, for one, do not know everything about everything, and it is very helpful to hear terminology explanations regards a specialized topic.
Agreed. It will be my tutorial for my test to become an apprentice on the project. 👍🏼
Those knee patterns are a huge amount of work to fabricate, but cast in bronze they are going to fit the bill perfectly over those iron knees. Great job Leo and crew. Pancho is going to love his new palace!
The explaination part was really useful and also entertaining
Anyone else anxiously await the next video of Leo's? Excellent series.
It’s been about a month now since I found Leo’s videos they are fantastic I’ve gone back and watched every single one from the beginning and everything that Was put out for the Sampson boat company I love how Leo is very knowledgeable about tally ho and boat building I love all the history when I watch the videos I catch myself laughing I enjoy them because I see poncho strutting around on the planks and it’s nice to see the dogs running around and playing everyone who has volunteered or who has helped with the rebuilding of tally ho are fantastic I have even recommended Leo’s videos to other people for the content as to the technical aspects of wooden boatbuilding I remember going up to Victoria it was during the wooden boat festival back in the 90s I enjoyed it very much it brings back memories of some very beautiful boats
Lots of beautiful bronze. I think it would be fantastic to see a budget for this rebuild, specifically on expenditures. I would be fascinating to see how much was spent on wood materials for various components, bronze (material and casting labor), fasteners, etc., and as the build progresses, outfitting and fixtures, rigging, sails, etc.
Hi Chris, Leo has given some rough cost info in his vids. I've kept track of timber for the boat (includes most shipping cost):
$6k - Purpleheart for keel
$10k - Purpleheart for centerline
$28k - Southern Live Oak for frames
$26k - Wana for hull planking & Angelique for longitudinal beams (excluding trans-shipment costs & 7 months in the dryer kiln)
$14k - White Oak for deck beams (excluding delivery?)
So that's US$ 84,000 min, call it closer to 100 for raw timber delivered to the yard.
One hell of a bird's house :-) gotta love Pete.
Hmm, two dogs... if there is a second parrot and a couple of other animal- paires, I'll start worrying ;-)
LOL! Love it! Tally Ho would definitely be very handy in a case like you are suggesting 😂😂😂
🤣🤣
haha! As long as I'm not stuck on board with Pete and Clark!
@@SampsonBoatCo 😂😂😂
Leo, you have it all wrong. You are not restoring a boat! You are renovating a fine, fine piece of turn of the century furniture that just happens to float and accomodates sails. Truly marvelous workmanship, attention to detail and honoring the history. You are channeling both James Krenov and Sam Maloof.
"Pete" What more can I say. Loved the first 10 min. I am NOT a Sailor or Shipwright so thanks. I am proud of and for you in your vision and dedication. Keep doing what you do.
As I lay under the stars, pondering how it all was created, up comes a Tally Ho video describing how a wooden boat is made, and the names of it parts. What a very satisfying endeavor, Leo; for you and very certainly for us.
I actually laughed out load at your hair at 1:00
This is an obvious ploy to make Cecca feel like you can't be left alone :)
Another great vid
While, I know I'm a few months late; but I'm really enjoying seeing apprentice/journeyman level woodworking from Mr. Chainsaw and Skil-saw. It's even better that all that work is going into a piece that won't actually be IN the boat.
All kidding aside, beautiful work Leo and crew!
Excellent tutorial of the terminology during the first 9 minutes. The craftsmanship is impressive. ⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵ X 10
I know absolutely nothing about boats or boatbuilding and am captivated by this channel. What an incredible education and wealth of information sharing you are doing. Truly, thank you for taking the time to document and share your journey and include others in the learning process. While I will likely never be one to build a big boat, this does make me want to build my own small wood boat, even if it ends up being nothing more than a wooden canoe or dinghy. You are definitely inspiring the current and next generation.
" Hello I am Leo a boat builder and a sailor " Thank you !!!! made my day.
Yes, the REAL Leo is back!
Never be shy about your facility with language. It's wonderful to hear you describe the things that obviously fascinate and inspire you.
I did find the terminology very interesting and thank you for explaining it, and with all the patterns your making you could build a second boat at sometime.
Leo, Couldn’t picture any other shipwright as energetic, skillful and as in tune to this project as Pete. Well done. Hope you have as much luck with your new apprentice.
I too was a tad bit concerned we wouldn't hear from Pete. Bravo!
Leo. You make great videos. We all will watch you explain anything. Even restoring an old threading machine. Keep it up mate.
Hey Pete! I'm a callipygiologist. So I, too, admire a shapely bottom with fair curves and a nice tuck. I always want to fondle the the turn of the bilge and run my fingers along the tuck.
I also love all the exquisite boat jewelry you guys are creating. Made by the lost wood (since it would require far too much wax, i suppose) casting method and polished to a dazzling mirrored finish.
In the process of watching the entire video library and I’m really enjoying it.
This is the coolest project on RUclips.been here since the get go
Leo, I like how you give so much pleasure to so many people, not so common these days.
Pete always does an excellent job explaining!
Love the way the lil lady pulled out the Metalwork Teacher badge 👍 never judge a book....
Your explanation of terms was amazing. Using different highlighters to show each piece was genius. I learned a lot more than I thought i would.
So I happened upon these videos last week after looking for something to watch with the sound down while working. The next thing I know, I've watched the entire series and have gotten so invested in what's going on that I can't watch it while I'm working because I won't get anything done and I want to hear what everyone's saying. However, I have made sure to never skip through the commercials to make sure that you get all of that ad revenue to help in building your boat. (I might add that some of those commercials are 45 minutes long.) Anyways, it has been very inspiring to watch and has caused me to reflect on how important it is to stop making excuses and chase your dreams. Thanks for sharing your journey and look forward to watching where it goes from here.
it was very helpful, specially for the people that dont use your languaje every day!!
Basic boatbuilding terminology is a fine addition to this series. Use these terms going forward and reference new viewers to this 1st "Rosetta stone" episode to keep your effficiency high.
love watching the progress on this epic build, the floors and PURE QUALITY, and the knees will be too, can't wait - this boat will be of such quality Leo and shows the world what love you and all your helpers have put into it
Man, I could listen to Leo explain anything to me. But boats especially are so cool to learn about!
