Making your friend a tool handle led to finding the bacterial wet wood, which in turn led to the inspection that found the open pore white oak problem, which in turn may have saved significant problems in the future. Tally Ho will be stronger because you helped a friend.
Leo I have been meaning to write this for sometime. It is my thanks and I am sure the thanks of your all your viewers. In theses very dark times you are a glimmering ray of hope. With your team of the beautiful, coy Cecca, the colourful, and amazing Poncho and now with the laconic, witty and skilful Pete it is amazing and uplifting. And of course the romance of the boat Tally Ho herself. On behalf of many of us who can only afford to watch I also say thank you to your patrons and pray that they can continue to support you so that you can go on bringing joy to our hearts and minds. Again thank you all from the bottom of my being and I wish you complete success in this venture, Barrie
After bingeing 71 episodes in a week, it’s really tough waiting on an episode. I feel for all of the fans who’ve been following this series since day one.
What is really bad is the off weekend with no episode. I have followed this from the beginning but being an old fart I am thinking of going through it again while stuck at home. We aren't even allowed to put our boats in the water where I live.
'Fine Cabinetry' on a grand scale. The amount of skilled hand work going into this beautiful project is a testament to why so many manufactured goods are 'disposable' these days. And why some sailing ships from one and two hundred years ago are still at sea...
@@SampsonBoatCo I too have commented on the excellent choices for your music. As a musician, I really have appreciated learning of some new artists I hadn't heard before. And in keeping with that sharing, have you heard the music of Billy Strings? It might, pardon me, "float your boat!" Sorry, I couldn't resist.
You guys are truly something. The skill! Shipyards making supertankers cannot even compare. I am a construction superintendent in a shipyard making oil platforms and we make dead stuff. You guys make a living breathing boat. Cheers.
I'm going to miss Patrick. What a great crew you three have made. There was a real connection and energy between you all. Take care Patrick and best wishes as you return to your art.
I started watching these videos about a week ago. I am 71 years old and retired, living in New Hampshire. Yesterday, I was out walking along an abandoned railbed along a riverbank with mixed hardwood stands. I noticed White Oak (Quercus Alba) trees mixed in with Swamp White Oak (Quercus Bicolor). Both trees are in the White Oak family but the Swamp White Oak has open pores. Perhaps the "bad" Oak was from a Swamp White Oak? The use of White Oak in the project evoked childhood memories of my grandfathers back yard where he built a Cabin Cruiser using White Oak. He had stacks of milled White Oak which he had salvaged from felled trees in the aftermath of the great 1938 hurricane. I also remember watching my parents helping him salvage more Oak in the aftermath of hurricane Carol in 1953.
Yes, Pat is a legend! However, he’s incorrect, Tally Ho will have a wheel. Last I remember Leo said that there will be a motor is her, therefore she will have a wheel. Airplanes have propellers and boats/ships have wheels. Ah, what can we expect, he’s been there 8 weeks and still dunna ken port to starboard. 😂😂😂 Only j/k’n Patrick. Nice work mate!!
wow Leo what a bite in the ass..as a master plumber you brought back that sinking feeling (no pun intended) of when i have had to rip out all the work done in a structure for whatever reason..i had hoped those days were behind me now that i am retired..these are the things life are made of..if and when you run into rough seas your crew will think you have lost your mind when your smiling from your heart because you know you have built her true and right..
Me three. I discovered Leo around his 4th or 5th episode and wait religiously for new episodes. Same with the Acorn to Arabella guys too, but Leo definitely gets my admiration for insisting on rebuilding a boat regardless of how much of a lost cause it truly was at the beginning. My kind of guy, tilting at a windmill because of a principle and the romance of it.
@@warrenmusselman9173 Yes! You understand as so many don't. Leo is not building a boat. He is restoring a legend. Even if (as seems likely) he ends up replacing every single stick of wood of the original Tally Ho, is preserving and restoring a legend, saving a bit of history that would otherwise be lost. Tally Ho lives -- not *again,* but *still.*
I laughed so much when Pete mentioned it was a double restoration. It is fantastic to see such dedication to such craftsmanship. I hope all good things to those that have helped this project. Thank you all.
@@douglasburnside Thanks for the heads-up on Clickspring. Bad Obsession has just released an hour-long video of them stripping, inspecting and rebuilding the transmission for Binky.
Hey Leo, I only just recently became aware of this series and I have to say I've been enjoying it immensely. I work for a band saw blade company here in Idaho and would love to contribute in my own way. If you let me know the dimensions of the blades you use, either in the ship saw or any other band saws, I'm sure I can get you those blades, no charge. I might even be able to take a day trip to get them to you without needing to ship them. (Pandemic not withstanding). Let me know if you're interested. Loving this project and the community you've created around it! Best of luck for the whole thing moving forward and God bless!
Binging out on this and how I wish I’d seen this earlier. Patrick was a great addition to the crew. Hope all goes well with him. Episode 72 here I come.
Literally LOL'ed at Patrick's nautical vocab lesson. 😂 It's great that you've pulled together such a terrific crew, Leo- everyone you've shown helping, right from the beginning, has been hard-working, funny, and dedicated. What a great group of people. 👍
What a great channel. Probably one of the few comment threads on the Internet where you can read the comments and feel a genuine interest and kindness sans the other stuff. Love the camaraderie, entertainment, and learning. Long live Tally Ho!
She's looking great,and this is one of the best channels on boating without a doubt...to all those who've helped build her by blood,sweat and tears and we cant forget those who've donated,bless you all..this truly is a worthy cause and cant wait to see her Sail....God speed everyone,take care be safe and may your needs be met when needed....
Checker is so awkward in front of the camera, cutest thing ever. You’re a lucky man.Making great progress on the project always look forward to seeing your videos as they come up. Cheers mate.
@UCco6-KhfKkQcLQvVaFHJ3xg To complicate matters, "Cecca" is not a common nickname for Francesca (at least not in the US) and the automated closed-caption used Check a, which is obviously wrong! However she wishes to be known is her prerogative, but imagine her experience at a Starbucks!
Tough problem. Hard decision and I admire the way you made it, Leo. Proof that you have already learned a valuable lesson in your young life: Very often you will later most regret what you DIDN'T do.
"Good judgement comes from experience, experience comes from bad judgement!" in every mistake there is a lesson, while it sucks to have to make all those pieces over, you learned so much from the experience.
Leo, my hat's off to you and your team for so quickly replacing those defective framing members. It's a perfect example of the professional approach you have towards everything you do. A tough pill to swallow at first, but as you stated, once the decision to move ahead was made, you all rolled up your sleeves and got at it. Congrats!
As the temp drops every night, I would suggest that you turn off the fans and resume in the morning as the temp comes back up to yesterdays temp. Look up relative temps and humidity charts or talk to the local weather person, they can help you a lot. I used to run the wood room for the major instrument manufacture in the USA while in college. It takes a long time to dry wood, months... the way you are now using and I would suggest to wax the ends anyways to reduce or stop checking.
He doesn't say what moisture content it is now and what he is trying to get it to (or keep it to). In service the boat will be in the water below the water line and in a marine environment (higher humidity) above the waterline. In the Pacific Northwest we have moderate humidity levels even in summer. And he is close to the water so his is probably even higher due to the marine air. So all that said I wouldn't think it makes any sense to get it too dry?
Thanks Leo and crew, this channel has been something to look forward to, until I can get back to work. I appreciate all the time you put into this endeavor and sharing it.
Good catch on the bad wood. You would have been kicking yourself in a couple of years when you were tearing up the deck to remove all the bad half beams. Thanks you for showing us how you are doing this.
I don't know how anybody could complain your project. If I lived in Sequim I'd be there helping you in any way I could. I live just across the Sound in North Seattle and have many years of woodworking experience but those years have taken their toll and now at 73 it don't get around so good. I love seeing this restoration taking place, it's a live museum! Thank you! Rich
Given the size of the project and the way things are with finding enough quality material for any project this size the oak problems are not surprising even if they are expensive and annoying. The thing that mattered most though at the end of the day is you got a great result and solved the issues. The best thing to happen to the project is that you found such brilliant help in both the guys and that they hung in while things were resolved. Saw some of the work that was done by Pete on the Western Flyer vids and he is as good as they come.
Leo, Pete and Patrick. Great work and progress men. I am not a boat builder nor sailor but your videos Leo keep me coming back for more. Hang on to Pete Leo. That guy is a treasure and seems to really know his business. Between you, Pete and some willing others, that beauty will be in the water sooner than you think. Sorry to see Patrick go. His wit will be missed.
Such a great episode, Leo, thanks. The views looking through the inside of the boat are breathtaking. Missed your parrot friend!!! Pancho is her name I think? Hope she is well. Felt the anguish when you realized you had bad wood in your beautiful boat, and you knew you had to replace it. We've all been there, when we knew we had to do something big over again, even though it meant much work. It feels so good when you make the right decision, then do it, instead of settling for less. Well done. This channel is about so much more than building a boat. I love seeing the progress and following you and your friends. It has helped as I have been very isolated during the pandemic, had to leave a wonderful job with good people I love dearly. Your channel has helped me feel connected to good people again. I hope Cecca has a good trip! Look forward to seeing her back.
Once finished I think tally ho might just get a new award, restoration of the century. Every aspect of this rebuild has been so well thought out only to follow with expert execution. What a superb journey to witness.
It really is hard to find wood these days that is comparable to wood of even 60, 70 years ago. Some of the old old growth was really amazing material. I have run into this problem many times as a builder.
Your right I've just completed a 16 century chapel conversion. And alot of the joists were original to the chapel. Due to the architecture drawing changes.. I managed to require all the wood that im building my workshop with. All 16 century oak beams. Thats still in great condition. All be it the odd clasp nails here and there. The grain structure growth rings in the oak i have are tight. And weigh quit a bit. Its sad that most of the oak joists i have are going to be covered up. There practically black and so dense that hammering a nail into them just bends the nails.
Discovered you channel at the beginning of the Quarantine! Now 72 episodes later I finally caught up! I watched approximately one episode per day. It was really a nice and inspiring bubble for me. Thank you for sharing thins amazing project and adventure with us! Cheers from France!
I was gonna say that too. In the same week they do a hammer test to a piece of wood and make the decision to ditch some wood and a lot of work. Tough decisions. I thought maybe Leo could inject some kind of resin into the porous wood using vacuum.
The workmanship on this boat is so awesome , no shortcuts, precision joints , truly a work of a master builder, done right , the view thru the length of the boat and along the deck is so beautiful, she is going to be absolutely beautiful on the water , can see it already , two yrs time aye Leo !
Patrick was great, I learnt so much. I always thought it was pointy end and flat end, so glad he put me straight on that. Farewell Patrick, hope you find time to come back to the (re)build.
Interesting to learn all that nautical terminology: ropes, doors, bedrooms, bathrooms and toilets. Even caught Leo's error. What he referred to as the stem is actually called the front thingie. I'm sure that was just an absent minded slip.
Thanks Leo have been watching for the last two years and I am amazed by what you have achieved 👏 Was brought up in a sailing family in a small club on the clyde 🏴 in the 70s most guys in the club had old converted lifeboats or fishing boats and ex naval pinnace's. Some had gentlemen cruiser like silvers or buchanan yachts, these were usually damaged or sunk and they had rebuilt them. As a kid remember seeing wooden boats with the planks or decks off them and beams or ribs bening replaced, always a fire for a steam box on the go at the weekend, kids do love fires 😁 if i won the lottery would get a wooden boat but i am happy with the plastic just now. Lets me get on the water with less effort due to work and family commitments, hey if you are sailing your happy👍🏻⛵🏴.... hopefully next season🤞we can get back to normal. Keep up the amazing work 👏👏👏
Made me actually laugh out loud lol the front “Sorry the forward” haha love the channel keep up the great work and even better footage of the awesome work!
Being German, I really had to laugh out loud, and nearly spit my coffeeee on my laptop - well, we Germans don´t have humor at all, so nothing happened, hehehe
I just finished binge-watching those 72 episodes in a week. Now I have no purpose in my life other than to wait another episode while sobbing loudly in the dark. That is without a doubt the best series of video i've seen in my whole youtube binge-watching career. This is heartwarming and extremely interesting to watch as I have no knowledge of boat-building. I'm thinking of coming to help someday and maybe be honored to be the first to puke overboard as I have a serious sea-sickness
Great video Leo, and big thanks to Patrick for being an amazing part of the journey. You guys really seem to be working like a machine and accomplishing a lot while having fun. Attitude is everything and you guys were really inspiring! You will be missed I'm sure of Patrick! I think we all admire the expertise and craftsmanship and it really was a blessing to have found the issue with the wood at a point it was able to be solved. Better now than later. It really was the best decision. This has been a really interesting couple days seeing the challenges the AtoA guys faced and their adapting to a new reality and low and behold even Leo wasn't spared some surprises. This says a lot about just how difficult these projects can be. It's starting to get really exciting to see the planking on site! It's really going to be taking some amazing transformations in the near future.
Yea Patrick's humor is great and will be missed. Im sure it was a really hard decision to start over again, but will be well worth it in the long run. Thanks for going through all the work to film while working its much appreciated!
@D.T. Baker Surface vessels fall into two groups: boats and ships. The former are under 200 feet long, while the latter exceed that length. Submarines are short of their own category.
Knowing absolutely nothing about boat building other than what I have learnt by watching you guys at work, I'm constantly amazed at how much timber is going into the resto.
Have been looking forward to this fot 2 weeks. So sorry you got bad oak. I imagine having the removed half beams as patterns was what made the second time much faster.
Leo, it takes a few days to come to terms with it. But doing it right will be best for the long term. Imagine the shipwrights in decades from now that would have commented on the rot. Now If Tally Ho sails for another 100 years it will be because of these important decisions made.
... each episode, I am constantly amazed at the patience and skill you all exhibit ... this one in particular with the deck structure rebuild ... myself, I'd probably have turned the whole project into firewood ... greatly admire you Leo ...
Finally a new episode.It is a joy to watch your professionalism and the enthusiasm you put into this project.For my mind one of the best channels on u tube.Keep up with the fantastic work.Now only the long wait till the next episode .
Man o man Leo! Are you building a boat or a tank? The shots of the ribs showing forward to aft and of the deck are amazing, you can really start to see the shape well.
Good luck Patrick! So painful when up against a decision like that bad Oak where you probably know, deep down that the best thing is to redo it. I completely understand the relief that comes when you say "yep, gotta be done, let's just do it". Looking great.
This project symbolizes more than just building a boat. It has brought a lot of different people from different back grounds to share there story and be part of something truly amazing. Leo and the people that help you, what a fantastic job so far. I don't even sail but it seems interesting to take up.
You should cut the stringers you removed into 4X4 or 5X5 blocks (that'll fit into a small box and sell then for $50 as a fundraiser. I'd buy a piece of wood that was in the Tally Ho (even for a brief period).
I just rewatched this series from the very start. Been following you since the beginning and am still as inspired now as I was then. You are a testament to dedication sir! From a fellow wood chuck.
5 minutes in and I'm thinking "this bloke is pretty smart, and this video is really interesting" and then comes the demonstration around 5:50 and I'm saying to myself "This guy is bloody brilliant and this video is fascinating!" I'm subscribing, but now I have 71 videos to watch before I can finish watching this one...it's going to be fun, and an education. Thanks!
Ashley Harwood (YT) would make a fantastic team addition when finer turned fittings are made inside Tally Ho. Sorry to see Cecca go, particularly when morale took a brief tumble. Leo again showed he can make the needed tough decisions in heavy weather; he'll remember this when 10 tons of green water are hovering over TH off Tierra de Fuego.
Dear Leo Goolden. 👍👌👏 A simply fantastic video again and as always! Congrats! What a pity with this bad quality white oak. I felt so sorry for all of you. By the way: The acorns had trouble with wood too and took it off also. Boatbuilders seem to be extremely positive thinking guys so that all of this will be nearly forgotten fast. What a pity that gorgeous Francesca had to leave again. Hope she will be back soon. Thank you so much for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.
It's always frustrating to go "backwards" with a project but the extra effort will bear long term fruit. "Superflush" T-shirts, bumper stickers, coffee mugs?
Just found your channel and I'm in love. As a woodworker myself, I love to see the trade in use on something other than furniture and random shop items. The dog, bird, funny crew, camera shy wife, and your well spoken rundowns are excellent! Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see her on the open sea!
I’m so sorry to hear about the oak situation. You are taking this discovery very well and / or have guarded your head space well enough to keep pressing ahead. Good job!
Once you found them I knew you would change them. You do it once perfectly so it was a done deal, you where just taking a breath before you did it. Great project great editing and delivery. Skills are top drawer. Love watching.
Nah. It's a common way to test wood grain structure, strength. We had to restore a house made in the 1800's, and we had, according to the specifications of the local government (mayor's office awarded us the job) use local wood. Well, i wasn't exactly happy with that specification because local wood was shite. So we took non-destructive samples from various trees and did splintering and shattering tests. Smaller hammer, same principle.
You never know what will appear in a video. With this channel, regardless of the content, you know it will be enjoyable before it starts. Thanks for bringing us along.
Making your friend a tool handle led to finding the bacterial wet wood, which in turn led to the inspection that found the open pore white oak problem, which in turn may have saved significant problems in the future. Tally Ho will be stronger because you helped a friend.
Exactly what I was thinking!

After bingeing 71 episodes in a week, it’s really tough waiting on an episode. I feel for all of the fans who’ve been following this series since day one.
Wow. I binged about 9-10 episodes when I first found this channel several years ago, and that felt like a lot. 71? I commend you for your devotion....

STEVEN HOLTON Thanks. Fixed.
What is really bad is the off weekend with no episode. I have followed this from the beginning but being an old fart I am thinking of going through it again while stuck at home. We aren't even allowed to put our boats in the water where I live.
Did you know "Acorn to Arabella"?
'Fine Cabinetry' on a grand scale. The amount of skilled hand work going into this beautiful project is a testament to why so many manufactured goods are 'disposable' these days. And why some sailing ships from one and two hundred years ago are still at sea...
As a musician, have to say Leo's consistently wonderful soundtracks add to my thorough enjoyment of his videos.
Thanks! Choosing the music is my favourite part of the editing process.
@@SampsonBoatCo I too have commented on the excellent choices for your music. As a musician, I really have appreciated learning of some new artists I hadn't heard before.

Yes I agree. I wish Leo had a time to put a playlist together of his favorite music.
I can only say the same as a mechanic - I enjoy listening to it almost as much as watching it!! Thanks!

Cold air can hold less moisture than warm air. February and March are the best months for drying timber (in the northern hemisphere's temperate zones)
That might be hard to do! A couple of used ROANOKE tobacco curing barns would meet your needs Sparky. Right?
I don't think it would be difficult to build something automated: an humidity sensor and a microswitch to stop the fans if the humidity is too high.
He doesn't say what moisture content it is now and what he is trying to get it to (or keep it to). In service the boat will be in the water below the water line and in a marine environment (higher humidity) above the waterline. In the Pacific Northwest we have moderate humidity levels even in summer. And he is close to the water so his is probably even higher due to the marine air. So all that said I wouldn't think it makes any sense to get it too dry?
Good plan, I have already been turning it off at night, but now I know why I am doing it! The ends are already waxed.
Thanks Leo and crew, this channel has been something to look forward to, until I can get back to work. I appreciate all the time you put into this endeavor and sharing it.
Good catch on the bad wood. You would have been kicking yourself in a couple of years when you were tearing up the deck to remove all the bad half beams. Thanks you for showing us how you are doing this.
I don't know how anybody could complain your project. If I lived in Sequim I'd be there helping you in any way I could. I live just across the Sound in North Seattle and have many years of woodworking experience but those years have taken their toll and now at 73 it don't get around so good. I love seeing this restoration taking place, it's a live museum! Thank you! Rich
oh my god Patrick is hilarious!
ain't he, though? This is great viewing!
Is it just me ? Does anybody else feel quite emotional after watching these videos ? Thanks Leo, and the team. Cheers from Australia, Mach
I would buy merch that says "I graduated from Leo's Dodgy Boat School". That was great.
Captain Pugwash,Seaman Staines and Master Bates on them please.
Donnchadh McPáidín Roger the cabin boy.
I'd buy a t shirt. Leo consider producing some!
I would purchase a Sampson Boat Company ball cap and T- shirt.
I agree! I would very rarely buy merch from something, but this is something I would certainly buy with pride.
She's really taking shape now...quality workmanship guys! Cant wait to see her with the bracing removed. My favorite channel on youtube...
Given the size of the project and the way things are with finding enough quality material for any project this size the oak problems are not surprising even if they are expensive and annoying. The thing that mattered most though at the end of the day is you got a great result and solved the issues. The best thing to happen to the project is that you found such brilliant help in both the guys and that they hung in while things were resolved. Saw some of the work that was done by Pete on the Western Flyer vids and he is as good as they come.
I bloody love this channel. Get Leo in every secondary school in the UK (and beyond), it’s needed. Totally inspiring.
Wow, looking great! Ship is really taking shape. Beautiful job friend.
Leo, Pete and Patrick. Great work and progress men. I am not a boat builder nor sailor but your videos Leo keep me coming back for more. Hang on to Pete Leo. That guy is a treasure and seems to really know his business. Between you, Pete and some willing others, that beauty will be in the water sooner than you think. Sorry to see Patrick go. His wit will be missed.
Such a great episode, Leo, thanks. The views looking through the inside of the boat are breathtaking. Missed your parrot friend!!! Pancho is her name I think? Hope she is well. Felt the anguish when you realized you had bad wood in your beautiful boat, and you knew you had to replace it. We've all been there, when we knew we had to do something big over again, even though it meant much work. It feels so good when you make the right decision, then do it, instead of settling for less. Well done. This channel is about so much more than building a boat. I love seeing the progress and following you and your friends. It has helped as I have been very isolated during the pandemic, had to leave a wonderful job with good people I love dearly. Your channel has helped me feel connected to good people again. I hope Cecca has a good trip! Look forward to seeing her back.
A classic episode. Overcoming adversity, creative problem solving, good humour, hard work. Thank you!
You could sell t shirts “Leo’s Dodgy Boat School”. Trust me they will be a hit.
Once finished I think tally ho might just get a new award, restoration of the century. Every aspect of this rebuild has been so well thought out only to follow with expert execution. What a superb journey to witness.
It really is hard to find wood these days that is comparable to wood of even 60, 70 years ago. Some of the old old growth was really amazing material. I have run into this problem many times as a builder.
Your right I've just completed a
16 century chapel conversion. And alot of the joists were original to the chapel. Due to the architecture drawing changes.. I managed to require all the wood that im building my workshop with. All 16 century oak beams. Thats still in great condition. All be it the odd clasp nails here and there.
The grain structure growth rings in the oak i have are tight. And weigh quit a bit. Its sad that most of the oak joists i have are going to be covered up. There practically black and so dense that hammering a nail into them just bends the nails.
Discovered you channel at the beginning of the Quarantine! Now 72 episodes later I finally caught up! I watched approximately one episode per day. It was really a nice and inspiring bubble for me. Thank you for sharing thins amazing project and adventure with us! Cheers from France!
This is ironic. The Acorn to Arabella folk are having trouble with cedar.
I came here just to say that!
I was gonna say that too. In the same week they do a hammer test to a piece of wood and make the decision to ditch some wood and a lot of work. Tough decisions. I thought maybe Leo could inject some kind of resin into the porous wood using vacuum.
@@taxirock90 I thought of that also but, that would be expensive and add a great deal of weight above the CG which may not be ideal.
the week for removing wood one is concerned about.
984francis It would be more so if an Ironbark construction methinks!?!!
Nice Save Leo. A true craftsman never stops learning and you, my friend, are a true craftsman. 2 more years, fine by me.
the view from behind through the hull to the bow is incredible ...
I learn that the piece at the back is called the back passage (apparently)...
Her hull view generally is!
Would love to see what a good still photographer could make of it.
The workmanship on this boat is so awesome , no shortcuts, precision joints , truly a work of a master builder, done right , the view thru the length of the boat and along the deck is so beautiful, she is going to be absolutely beautiful on the water , can see it already , two yrs time aye Leo !
Aw, and I was just about to get busy with chores. They’ll have to wait.
Ditto
I am with you mate
Patrick was great, I learnt so much. I always thought it was pointy end and flat end, so glad he put me straight on that.
Farewell Patrick, hope you find time to come back to the (re)build.
Interesting to learn all that nautical terminology: ropes, doors, bedrooms, bathrooms and toilets. Even caught Leo's error. What he referred to as the stem is actually called the front thingie. I'm sure that was just an absent minded slip.
Thanks Leo have been watching for the last two years and I am amazed by what you have achieved 👏 Was brought up in a sailing family in a small club on the clyde 🏴 in the 70s most guys in the club had old converted lifeboats or fishing boats and ex naval pinnace's. Some had gentlemen cruiser like silvers or buchanan yachts, these were usually damaged or sunk and they had rebuilt them. As a kid remember seeing wooden boats with the planks or decks off them and beams or ribs bening replaced, always a fire for a steam box on the go at the weekend, kids do love fires 😁 if i won the lottery would get a wooden boat but i am happy with the plastic just now. Lets me get on the water with less effort due to work and family commitments, hey if you are sailing your happy👍🏻⛵🏴.... hopefully next season🤞we can get back to normal. Keep up the amazing work 👏👏👏
Made me actually laugh out loud lol the front “Sorry the forward” haha love the channel keep up the great work and even better footage of the awesome work!
Each of you guys are such hard workers doing such good work.
"It's got German specs. Gudentight !" HAHAHA
That was great!
As opposed to the French spec. "Toulouse!"
Being German, I really had to laugh out loud, and nearly spit my coffeeee on my laptop - well, we Germans don´t have humor at all, so nothing happened, hehehe
Absolutely outstanding. And I always thought the spec was as tight as you could get it plus a quarter turn.
The spec in Australia is - "Tighten it till it strips, then back it off half a turn"!!
I just finished binge-watching those 72 episodes in a week. Now I have no purpose in my life other than to wait another episode while sobbing loudly in the dark.
That is without a doubt the best series of video i've seen in my whole youtube binge-watching career. This is heartwarming and extremely interesting to watch as I have no knowledge of boat-building.
I'm thinking of coming to help someday and maybe be honored to be the first to puke overboard as I have a serious sea-sickness
Great video Leo, and big thanks to Patrick for being an amazing part of the journey. You guys really seem to be working like a machine and accomplishing a lot while having fun. Attitude is everything and you guys were really inspiring! You will be missed I'm sure of Patrick!
I think we all admire the expertise and craftsmanship and it really was a blessing to have found the issue with the wood at a point it was able to be solved. Better now than later. It really was the best decision.
This has been a really interesting couple days seeing the challenges the AtoA guys faced and their adapting to a new reality and low and behold even Leo wasn't spared some surprises. This says a lot about just how difficult these projects can be.
It's starting to get really exciting to see the planking on site! It's really going to be taking some amazing transformations in the near future.
That's unfortunate with the oak, but I'm sure glad you caught it in time.
Yea Patrick's humor is great and will be missed. Im sure it was a really hard decision to start over again, but will be well worth it in the long run. Thanks for going through all the work to film while working its much appreciated!
Ropes.... that cracked me up!
For those unfamiliar, there are no ropes on a ship, only sheets and lines.
Actually, there is one, the bell rope.
@@jerryf609 ..there's also the bolt rope...
@@henryb128 yep
And warps.
@D.T. Baker Surface vessels fall into two groups: boats and ships. The former are under 200 feet long, while the latter exceed that length. Submarines are short of their own category.
Always look forward to your next edition. Excellent work by three men who obviously enjoy what they are doing and want to do it right. Great !
Well at least I learned the pointy end was called the front :-)
I really laughed at your comment!!
Ha Ha. Unless she's a double ender like Arabella then there are two pointy ends.
Oh, damn. I thought it was the tip.
Knowing absolutely nothing about boat building other than what I have learnt by watching you guys at work, I'm constantly amazed at how much timber is going into the resto.
Have been looking forward to this fot 2 weeks. So sorry you got bad oak. I imagine having the removed half beams as patterns was what made the second time much faster.
Leo, it takes a few days to come to terms with it. But doing it right will be best for the long term. Imagine the shipwrights in decades from now that would have commented on the rot. Now If Tally Ho sails for another 100 years it will be because of these important decisions made.
... each episode, I am constantly amazed at the patience and skill you all exhibit ... this one in particular with the deck structure rebuild ... myself, I'd probably have turned the whole project into firewood ... greatly admire you Leo ...
You should sell (auction off) those bad half beams. It would be nice to have a piece of your epic work
No... they should be ritually burned!
Maybe turn them into something for the hosts.
Finally a new episode.It is a joy to watch your professionalism and the enthusiasm you put into this project.For my mind one of the best channels on u tube.Keep up with the fantastic work.Now only the long wait till the next episode .
So, if that giant wooden mallet is used on Tally-ho, does that make it a Tally-whacker?
Actually its just a tool he uses to get his Ho in line.
whaahaha
Bahaha! I literally just laughed out loud! I wasn't expecting that at all.
It’s called a beetle. For that matter it might be a Beatle. I’ve never seen the word written down.
That was a good one! "A beatle" was pretty good too! Cheers, folks
Nothing better than a quick & dirty build
Man o man Leo! Are you building a boat or a tank? The shots of the ribs showing forward to aft and of the deck are amazing, you can really start to see the shape well.
RBC 58 The boat is a lot bigger than I ever imagined.
That wood is what we CALL Water oak and is junk wood!!! Sorry someone sold you that wood and you should definitely replace all the water oak
Good luck Patrick!
So painful when up against a decision like that bad Oak where you probably know, deep down that the best thing is to redo it. I completely understand the relief that comes when you say "yep, gotta be done, let's just do it". Looking great.
19:45 Reverse-underhand hammer technique for the win!
I love it when you ask Cecca (sp) questions - she usually laughs and it is always make me smile or at least laugh when she does what a GREAT helper!
Nothing like having to do it twice but doing it properly is worth the price and piece of mind.
Doing it a second time is much quicker anyway since you have as-built pieces for templates. Good choice to make the correction now.
This project symbolizes more than just building a boat. It has brought a lot of different people from different back grounds to share there story and be part of something truly amazing. Leo and the people that help you, what a fantastic job so far. I don't even sail but it seems interesting to take up.
You should cut the stringers you removed into 4X4 or 5X5 blocks (that'll fit into a small box and sell then for $50 as a fundraiser. I'd buy a piece of wood that was in the Tally Ho (even for a brief period).
Since video # 1, week after week love these videos so much.
Thank you Leo and all the volunteers
A lot of work indeed; but you will never regret doing it correctly.
I just rewatched this series from the very start. Been following you since the beginning and am still as inspired now as I was then. You are a testament to dedication sir! From a fellow wood chuck.
"Leo's School of Dodgy Shipbuilding"....Hahahahahaha...
The double resto and summary of Leo’s boat school have me in tears! 🤣👍 What a great bunch of guys...
OMG
Any job worth doing once is worth doing twice...
Practice makes perfect...
not perfect... better
5 minutes in and I'm thinking "this bloke is pretty smart, and this video is really interesting" and then comes the demonstration around 5:50 and I'm saying to myself "This guy is bloody brilliant and this video is fascinating!" I'm subscribing, but now I have 71 videos to watch before I can finish watching this one...it's going to be fun, and an education. Thanks!
Ashley Harwood (YT) would make a fantastic team addition when finer turned fittings are made inside Tally Ho. Sorry to see Cecca go, particularly when morale took a brief tumble. Leo again showed he can make the needed tough decisions in heavy weather; he'll remember this when 10 tons of green water are hovering over TH off Tierra de Fuego.
Dear Leo Goolden.
👍👌👏 A simply fantastic video again and as always! Congrats!
What a pity with this bad quality white oak. I felt so sorry for all of you. By the way: The acorns had trouble with wood too and took it off also. Boatbuilders seem to be extremely positive thinking guys so that all of this will be nearly forgotten fast.
What a pity that gorgeous Francesca had to leave again. Hope she will be back soon.
Thank you so much for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Leo on getting the bilge stringers in place be like: “That’s it! I’m getting me mallet!”
A large mallet is called a Commander. Just saying.
It's a mallet straight out of a Warner Brothers cartoon! 😁
You call that a mallet!? Here's a mallet!
that bad boy should have been an episode in itself.........
Every episode has been fantastic but these last few are realy showing the boat coming together
It's always frustrating to go "backwards" with a project but the extra effort will bear long term fruit. "Superflush" T-shirts, bumper stickers, coffee mugs?
Just found your channel and I'm in love. As a woodworker myself, I love to see the trade in use on something other than furniture and random shop items.
The dog, bird, funny crew, camera shy wife, and your well spoken rundowns are excellent! Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see her on the open sea!
If you need any help with electronics let me know! I'm a retired electronics technician/engineer.
I’m so sorry to hear about the oak situation. You are taking this discovery very well and / or have guarded your head space well enough to keep pressing ahead. Good job!
Wait, how does the boat move forward if it doesn’t have wheels?
It has wheels or rather the boat travels on the water's wheels, they are really small and are all through the water, the hull rolls along them.
@@GregorShapiro Wait a second. So when I get thirsty I'm really drinking a cup of wheels? Nature is incredible.
Virtual reality.
They retract into the keel, like inline skate! You must have missed that episode.
Crabs, lots and lots of crabs...Didn't you see Pirates of the Caribbean?
Once you found them I knew you would change them. You do it once perfectly so it was a done deal, you where just taking a breath before you did it. Great project great editing and delivery. Skills are top drawer. Love watching.
Is it just a coincidence that you and Acorn to Arabella uploaded the same wood test videos?
Apparently it's the week for dodgy wood.
I was just thinking the same thing. I like the the little wicking demo in Acorn's video too.
Nah. It's a common way to test wood grain structure, strength. We had to restore a house made in the 1800's, and we had, according to the specifications of the local government (mayor's office awarded us the job) use local wood. Well, i wasn't exactly happy with that specification because local wood was shite. So we took non-destructive samples from various trees and did splintering and shattering tests. Smaller hammer, same principle.
This channel just gets better and better.
When steering the boat, you are standing on the back porch.
I guess they'll steer with a tiller, because there "are no wheels."
*angry sailor noises*
You never know what will appear in a video. With this channel, regardless of the content, you know it will be enjoyable before it starts. Thanks for bringing us along.
has anyone else noticed that the neighbour has built a house right next to the wood storage in these 2 years.
Good luck on your new journey Patrick! Thanks for everything.
I hate it when Cecca leaves. I'm always afraid she won't come back.
Me and you both!!!! : )
Such a very pretty girl
me too!
