    EPISODE 165
    In this episode Zeal finishes the main rudder, hot-riveting the pintles in place and mounting the trim-tab on bronze gudgeons. We also prepare for our “open house” event, which involves mounting the skylight hatch on deck and showing off the bronze winches.

    I found myself flooded with emotions as I watched the men, women and children who so love this adventure that they came to the open house. You've done an amazing thing with this channel Leo and it has definitely touched a great many people. I can imagine you have fans who will happily follow you around the world when this stunning sailboat is ready for launch. Thanks for all you do. I'm honored to be a patron and make a modest contribution to the effort.

Highlights were getting to see Pancho up close, as well as the couple who hosted the project in Sequim, plus shaking Erika's hand, since I really appreciate the complexity of the various systems. It was a wonderful experience in spite of my mobility issues --- thanks to the two people who steadied me as I stepped over the bulwark onto the deck.

I’ve watched all the videos, some several times each. I was stunned at the good-natured banter from the crew, the production and setting of the boat were gorgeous.

    Hi Leo, I’ve been an avid fan of Tally Ho since the beginning (and an Old Bristolian from the 40s). This week, I’ve again viewed the videos of your amazing and inspiring journey from buying Tally Ho for $1, and this week, re-read most of the comments from fellow supporters. The restoration story of Tally Ho will hopefully find its way into a book, portraying your personal story and that of all those who have joined you along the way, they have all made a valuable and unforgettable contribution. We too often forget the past and historical record is vital to growth, and I relive every moment when you lifted the boat, removed the deck and the old keel, and began the journey. Your dedication and exactitude in all that you do shows a wisdom beyond your years and every video frame is greatly appreciated. The evidence of your craftsmanship will last forever. The day will arrive when Tally Ho sails back to England in full sail under your command. Then the adventures will begin. I just hope that I’m around to follow those exciting time. Q: Has any wooden model kit for Tally Ho been considered? Derek Lovemore. Brisbane Australia.

    Excellent! So much video detail!
    A hundred years, from now, these videos, showing Your building process and management skills, Leo, has set a fine example of fine boat building.

    "Why take so long with the details?"
    "Because we can."
    Frankly, the attention and engineering is sine qua non, and fills me with warm fuzzies. I wonder whether people have grasped the true nature of Tally Ho, that she isn't merely a boat.
    You and the Team (yes, that requires a capital T) are a testament to traditional techniques, values and craft.
    Tally Ho is an inspiration. It's major hard graft though the end result will speak volumes to those with a similar dream, who might be wondering if it's worth the blood, sweat and tears.
    As the old saw goes, "If it was easy then everybody would be doing it."
    It's worth doing BECAUSE not everybody does it.
    I'm turning green looking at the crowd who get to see her up close.
    Putting all that bling on deffo gives us a glimpse of her final fit, too.
    Big hand, Leo.

    The open house looked fantastic. I wish I could have gone, but I don't have the time or resources. I'm a big fan of this series, and it's exciting to see how much it's grown. It's incredible how this show means different things to different people. For some, it's just fun to watch, while for others, it helps them cope with tough times. It's great that it brings so much happiness to many people's lives.

    We we’re from Yorkshire and were lucky to be travelling past Port Townsend on your open day. We were so pleased to be able to visit and see what a fantastic job you and the team are doing. It was a privilege to meet the team and congratulate them on their work and the videos.

    Good lord Tally Ho is looking gorgeous, it really is amazing to see her like this compared to the shape she was in five years ago. The craftsmanship really is second to none. I've loved watching every step of the process, and I'm going to miss it, but just can't wait to see her on the water. Also it's great to see Pancho again!

  • @william6526

    Leo, I've watched from the beginning when you first went and looked at tally ho with all the weeds growing around her. I have to say I never in my wildest dreams thought tally ho would become the amazing beautiful sailing ship she has become. Did you ever imagine that there would be so much interest world wide about tally ho. I'm sure you never thought you would become such a celebrity and that term applies to the many dedicated craftsmen and women who put so much work into this amazing accomplishment. I'm hoping to be around to see the launch and then seeing you and your crew sail to the U.k. and hopefully the world. You had a dream and a vision you made come to life and that is something very special. God bless tally ho and all who sail on her.

    I’ve been fascinated to watch the care and craftsmanship which has gone into this project, and thrilled to see a new generation of artisans mastering, undertaking, and keeping alive skills which in some cases went out of common use in their great grandparents’ day or before. One slight quibble- at about 2:30 in this video, when the process of riveting the pintle to the rudder is being discussed, the term “upsetting” is used. In the forging of metals, upsetting is a process whereby a bar of material is made shorter and wider overall by being perched vertically on an anvil and hammered on the end. When setting a rivet, the process of widening the end of the rivet to clinch it in place is referred to as “peening”.

    Very much a tribute to Albert Strange, but with the hindsight of 100 or so years use and abuse, and topped off with some serious innovation. Water makers, power distribution, electro mechanical drive. Really really a great design carried forward 100 years.

  • @Faruk651
    @Faruk651 8 месяцев назад +1

    There are not many people in Zeal’s calibration. He swung the hammer to the rivets so confidently like if there was a sacrificial piece around it. And drilling a hole thru the rudder that has to be perfectly centred. Job itself is doable, there is no magic. But having confidence to go with it is another thing. That rudder has hundreds of hours of work at that point.

  • @maryloutetreault1650

    😊The Tally-Ho as I must remind myself is a Pilot Cutter, a serious work boat but it so much a true work of art and would look right at home in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Congrats to Leo and all of you amazingly talented Shipwrights! You all Rock.

    My brother and I could only attend the festival on Saturday, so we couldn't attend your open house. However, we had a great b-fast at the Blue Moose to start the day, then good times across town at the festival. Thanks for reminding us of the event. 👍 I gotta tell ya Leo, as much of an impressively skilled craftsman as you truly are, you've had some really great competition throughout this project. Those who already had great skills, those who've improved, and those who've learned new skills from scratch. As usual, love Tally Ho, and thanks for the great content.✌

    @clickykbd 8 месяцев назад

    So many good things in this video... if there was any doubt that what you and your fellow artisans are endeavoring to create (re-create) is in fact a true work of art, that is well and truly settled for me. The closing sequence of the progress on the deck furniture from the hatches back to the temporarily placed brass winches literally had me tearing up. The community gathering in person, the story to get to this point, her unlikely story of surviving to this point, and the glimpse of her utter and raw beauty was just too much emotionally! Tears of art/joy are pretty rare for me, but that did it.
