(rebuilding Tally Ho ep178)
The wooden pattern would make a beautiful fruit bowl as a centre piece on Tally Ho's table 😁👍
Yeah it would be. In Dave's videos he specifically mentions that he was making it pretty so it could be used decoratively afterwards. A molding pattern doesn't need to be polished mahogany after all 😀
😂😂😂 I was thinking about that too!!!
Just been watching the casting videos ,those guys had their trials as well .good to see your vids coming back on my feed 👏😎🐈⬛🇦🇺
Watching skilled craftsmen creating beautiful things never ever gets old.
Hi Leo, I am a volunteer working at the Sydney Heritage Fleet restoring and maintaining old heritage vessels, one of which is a gentleman's yacht by the name of "Boomerang" (nee "Bona"). She is a 1903 Edwardian schooner built for the Albert family. On her fordeck is a capstn that looks almost identical to yours. I believe that it is electrically operated and if you are interested, I can get more details and photos of this and send them to you. Let me know. Love your work and those very creative and excelent craftsmen working with you. It is a pleasure to follow your channel.
I think you should email Leo rather than get his attention through the comments section.
1903 is a good year: Herreshoff's RELIANCE, Wright brothers, my father in law born, and your project was launched.
@@teeanahera8949you in a safe and happy 😁😁😁
Dave Clark is an artist of the highest order. His pattern making videos for the capstan are amazing.
The Dave Clark Five were also very good.
Y😊@@AquaMarine1000
@@AquaMarine1000 You're showing your age Aqua (me too btw).
He is working what looks like MDF with no mask. Dude likes to roll the dice.
I believe he made the pattern in mahogany, not mdf.
I nearly spewed my morning coffee at Patrick's "for all the vain members of the crew who need to see if they got a speck of caviar in their teeth... hate to have that while yachting..." Patty never ceases to amuse. :-)
Truly captivated by the capstan restoration, which I've been following on Keith Rucker and Dave Clark's channels. Judging by the drawings, motorizing this thing is quite an engineering and fabricating feat! Those shots of differing capstans and the gorgeous precision metal work are beautiful to consider. I've re-wound and re-watched that bit several times. Extraordinary!
I hope it will be gold plated.
I preferred back before he learned the ship lingo.
When the bathroom was at the back of the boat.
Yes... I hate it when I have caviar stuck in my teeth while yachting. The pain is real...
It's especially funny because of the reality of real yachting. "Jon, what's it like out there when you are racing?" "You can duplicate it at home. Go into your shower fully clothed, turn it to full on cold. Stand under the showerhead and proceed to rip up $100 bills one after the other."
One of the most incredible things about this project has been Leo’s ability to source information and help. The management and logistics of this project have been the most successful I’ve seen in a very long time. The RUclips community has certainly been very helpful and very important for Leo as well.
I binged watched all 179 episodes in a single month, I am excited to be caught up with this amazing project and at the sametime I can't imagine what a person watching from day 1 must feel like seeing this boat evolve in real time. I'm along for the ride now and what a joy it is to watch this all come together.
I started watching the series when i was 11, im 17 now..
It has been such an amazing journey to see Tally go from being a wreck to slowly, but surely becoming a proud sailboat again
I loved watching the guys take apart the capstan. A lot of people ask me how I learned how to fix so many things. My stock answer to that is, "I was willing to break it in the process of fixing it." It can be really scary to break something you're working on, but often when there is no manual, that is the only way to figure out how it works. Watching those guys break the cap of the capstain is simply the way forward, as counterintuitive as that me be, in rebuilding it. I have so enjoyed watching all the collaborative work of the many craftspeople it has taken to rebuild Tally Ho. Thank you so much to all of you and for Leo to filmming it so we can all get to see the massive effort that goes into such a project!!!
A mam was once complaining to me her 10 year old son screwed open everything, but absolutely everything. I told her she could have my mam's number, so they could complain together, but I also told her, in a few years, that boy will fix everything around the house.
Fabulous to see the capstan again! I’d missed its trip to Florida, but caught up with it at Keith Rucker’s and The Pattern Guy, and am mind blown once again at the people and skills that have come together to bring Tally Ho back to life! Bravo to All Y’All! 🎉🎉🎉❤👍👍
I follow Keith Rucker also and I've been watching this process! Can't wait to see it finished!
@@PhilG999 Keith was one of my hubby's favorite vlogs to watch. He was a tool & diemaker, and really enjoyed watching Keith's projects.
A lot of swearing is an understatement. He edited the best of it.
It never ceases to amaze me how Leo attracts so many exceptional craftspersons to this massive undertaking. He is just such an inspriational leader!
He has more than proven himself, time and time again, but yes, I am amazed too.
I have met so many people who feel that everyone need to help them out with whatever they are trying their hands on, not realizing that most of us wants prof that you got what it takes to finish. Leo has taken this dedication to a whole new level, and reaping from his concistent behaviour now, very much deserved..
Just watched Keith start machining the main body, and Clarke pouring the cap. Such a pleasure to see their fine work.
it’s cool that Tally Ho’s Capstan is being restored in Georgia, where her frame timbers were grown & harvested; à la Steve Cross’s Magical Mystery Sawmill. too cool.
The Steve Cross episode is one of my favourites
@@SonjaBruenzelswhich episode is that?
@@Laz7481Episode 19.
@@tonygrimes13 thanks
What an amazing mini-story this has been about the capstan. Multiple expert hands working on the thing with details on their own RUclips channels. Like so many individual pieces of Tally Ho this is simply incredible.
The capstan top was already damaged, and as Keith and Clark said during the 'dismantling' the top was going to need to be re-cast regardless. I'll say watching Dave make that pattern was AMAZING. Quite the craftsman. I really appreciated his using all the 'older' school tools instead of jumping on his CNC equipment he does have.
Looking forward to Clark Easterlings coming videos on casting the part (I believe it is done, but he hasn't released the videos).
All three of those guys are very fun to watch. I've learned a lot from them.
Zeal, your an absolute pleasure to watch! Your wood working skills are nothing short of awesome!
That capstan has had a saga all its own - I've watched all the work on it from your RUclips helpers. Fabulous story.
There’s so much to love about this project. But I have to say one of the most enduring pleasures is seeing people work with their hands and ingenuity. The capstan project is a first class example of that.
Keith Rucker is THE person to get this project together................. I have total confidence in his abilities.
IDEA 💡. On the bulkhead at the NAV Station where the computers monitor will mount. Build a thin vertical cabinet that mounts to the Bulkhead then mount the monitor to Cabinet. On the end of the cabinet facing inboard have a tall narrow door that opens to reveal round pigeon holes that are fitted with tubes to hold all your charts. EASIER AND SAFER SORTING AND STORAGE and it moves the monitor 4 to 5 inches closer to the user. As always, GREAT JOB!
500K - How can we not be at 500K in RUclips yet? Folks who haven't subscribed are missing awesome content -- worth watching from Episode 1 to now at least twice more before Tally Ho hits the water.
The progress that has been made since that captain was removed is absolutely remarkable..... It has been such a pleasure watching your incredible journey.... And we are all very proud of you Leo... I will be on the edge of my chair until the big splash....
And then, watching wherever he takes her!
Go Leo Go !!!!! I have enjoyed and received inspiration to just keep going , with patience and precision , Tally Ho !!!!!
I was hooked on this build from day 1. The knowledge, drive and experience Leo displays is mind boggling. I can't imagine the toll this excitement, stress, time commitment and responsibility has taken therefore any kind of complaint is unwarranted and undeserved even if Leo shut off his camera tomorrow for good. I simply miss the more frequent episodes with loads of hands on content.
I love how Leo is always so gracious explaining the various people and companies that have let the project down. Class act.
I loved the idea of "Leo's dodgy boat school" T-shirts!!!! If that happened, and I missed it, let us know. I would love to have one!!!! Thanks for letting us watch the amazing craftsmanship that goes into a monumental project like this. Chiz, whatever that means,LOL😊
Leo, there will be a simultaneous shout of joy from hundreds of thousands of us when the capstan is reunited with Tally Ho! I've followed Keith and Dave for a while now because of the capstan project. I panicked when the cap shattered, fearing all was lost. None less skilled than Keith and Dave could have saved the day.
I am a Tradesman, retired twice over, you have no idea on the appreciation that I have Men at Work women at work showing the skills that they have learned, showing, and the work that needs to be done, never forget come up the things that really need to be detailed, that's what makes things work, I followed you for a while, and watched, and saw I'm glad I was able to support, on the simplest ways, of a joint of what a trade skill is, please don't stop
Pattern Guy is great.
He does the video to attract new folks.
Fantastic YT collaboration to bring Tally Ho back to life 👏👏
A powered winch is a safety feature. Less hesitation resetting the anchor if in doubt and the ability to move fast. Looks like a great blend of old and new, just like Tally Ho.
Grateful for the existence of RUclips connecting craftsmen who need each other
I followed Vintage Machinery for the Capstan...loved every minute!
Thank you so much for motorizing the capstan. Shows good sense. Thank you.
That towel warmer?
That’s an amazing idea, especially for wet clothing and foulies during colder weather
Very very common in houses here in the UK..we call them Towel rails
Great idea until you grab hold of it to steady yourself in a heavy sea 😁😁
@@sweetpeaz61 I think they're common in houses everywhere, maybe Motown hadn't seen one on a boat before?
Going to need a lot more than that rail for that job, Which is why they have built a wet locker with heating from the engine room
@@cmmartti I'm surprised to hear that. Here in New Zealand they are considered a bit of a luxury item, but not that uncommon. Back in the 50s, my old house in a small country town had one, but none of my friends' houses did. Nowadays I'm sure that the general improvement in our standard of living would mean that there are more of them installed.
I was also surprised to learn recently that electric kettles (aka here as electric jugs) are uncommon in the US. In NZ literally every house uses their electric kettle to heat water for tea or (instant) coffee. I suppose Americans use a saucepan on the stove?
Trivia: The electric kettle typically use more power than any other kitchen appliance, at 2,400W average.
This project is a testament to man's ingenuity, which is rather reassuring given present times.
Well said. Just when we think the "end" is near, some enterprising human devises a solution.
Your right imagine if all the resources that go into bombing went I to boat building projects like this , if only
@@mchristr Don't worry, it's coming big time.
Well said.
i AGREE, I found this channel shortly after I returned from 4 years in China in 2014.
Regards,
Malcolm.@@we-can-do
Fan of all those folks who helped.
I am a badass. I can do almost anything. Only things I can't do is 90% of what you guys do. Then there is the fact that you all are so likeable. I am an a-hole....you have made me realize I got alot to learn still. Thanks for that. See you next Saturday for my lesson
Me too. 😊
Great work on a great ole Boat by an amazing group of worldwide mastercraftsmen ..what an epic story thank you Leo !
So glad you're refurbishing/re-engineering the capstan as it adds to the boat's original identity. All those assorted craftspeople are producing true maritime art.
Beautiful Cherry cabinets, very fine. Those copper heating elements in the head are and excellent idea.
At 8:31 there, that joinery had me baffled with brass/bronze screws holding the back panel in OH! For a mirror! - makes sense! hadn't seen a recessed panel done like that before!
Had quite a class from Dave on the pattern making - Lot of technical stuff.
Can't wait to see the casting and machining! and the motorization will be very interesting.
My one question was casting "Tally Ho" into the cap and if that would be done.
This project continues to amaze. Even a single part, although complex and important, unites a whole team of world class craftsmen. Every component on Tally Ho is an amazing project of its own, with Zeal's millimeter precision fitting just an example of the level of crafting. The amount of skill, work and craftsmanship together is just mind blowing.
When installing the heating system, there are suppliers that have finned tubes in 1' increments. These are really handy for having heat in a locker where you don't want an actual heating unit but would like to help keep things dry(er). Looking amazing as always.
Decided to watch the teardown and fabrication for the pattern for the casting.. when you mentioned them. It made for a very long engagement of videos, but very worthwhile.
It's absolutely incredible to know that there are so many folks dedicated to either bring back or prefabricate old machinery.
Hoping one day I get an opportunity to see/smell Tally Ho in all her glory.
You Are Doing an Amazing Thing Leo
Seeing so many RUclipsrs I follow, working
on the same project. Just awesome.

Bits of spellbinding craftsmanship were included in this viewing. And the troublesome capstan disassembly was clearly a huge task Mr. Kieth Rucker managed at the finish as to conquer all of the years of salt driven oxidation. To understand, that the decades old design will now complete it's task as motor driven is an elegant solution to need. That need, critical in storms.
I found that a glimpse of the original design was remarkable as intention to place man with anchor, holding to bottom as man driven fitment. A requirement as to sail.
In the end, land locked to my study, with snow and ice to surrounds outside I am just a bit wistful in thinking of tropical latitude and stars. And perhaps the real life as offshore.
Fair winds to viewers and craftsman, so inclined to record and share that enterprise. Regards. M.
When I used to work on cars if something was sized corroded deteriorated and broke taking it apart no customer thought they should pay for it. Ever. That capstand is a excellent example of what metal does when put together for a long time.
Doubly so when it's been at sea. It's basically welded together.
Congratulations to all concerned with this fantastic rebuild of TALLYHO, and Leo's brilliant and often funny videos.
Talk about a flash back with those old clips of removing the capstan.
'Specially so, since the 2 guys trundling the thing down the length of the deck could've caused a major collapse !
Classic line "Well, we're going to take this cap off. We hope that we'll have the same number of pieces we started with, but if we have more..." or something like that. But man, that sucker was stuck...
It's amazing how much design goes into the capstan. I added a motor to my cider press apple grinder. I built it with pulleys, belts, and a jack shaft. It worked great, but was ungainly and somewhat dangerous. I bought a ½ hp Boston Gear worm gear speed reducer on eBay, and redesigned the drive. The reducer is oversized, but the price was right. Motor is 1725 rpm, grinder is 57.5 rpm. The challenge is getting everything aligned. I'm not modifying the original grinder shaft, so it got more complicated. I'm replacing all the wood, which was delaminated maple, with juniper. I learned from your videos to prototype everything.
It may be 'transparent' from many who watch this vlog, but this project has a remarkably wide net of people who are providing expertise and advice, as well as 'hands on' work. Leo has a remarkable network of knowledgeable people to support him and his talented team. Bravo to all involved - 'Tally Ho' is a much loved vessel!
It’s so cool seeing you guys and other content creators/craftsmen restore this capstan together, can’t wait to see this boat finally launch!
For those that don't watch Keith's channel regularly, the person helping him take apart the capstan is the one that is casting the replacement piece.
With all the RUclips videos, I love that it feels like Tally Ho! is contributing to her own rebirth.
Hah! Heard you mention that Tally Ho's original owner was from Brixham - and he owned a fishing fleet. Well, I happen to live in Brixham, and looking through Tally Ho's Wiki, I see it was Charles Hellyer. He was a real pioneer in offshore fishing. He and the Hellyer family perfected trawling from Gaff rigged sail boats here, then took the technology to Grimsby and started the [UK] East Coast fishing fleet, perfected lining for Halibut off Greenland, perfected processing cod liver oil offshore... Then perfected steam powered 'trawlers' and moved that technology to Hull on the East [UK] coast. One hell of a family. His house (Wolborough House) is still in very good shape looking over the Breakwater. Perhaps at some point Tally Ho will visit Brixham and moor up alongside the Brixham Heritage Fishing Fleet. All the Best from Brixham!!
And the pattern guy....love his videos as well!
For perspective. On HMS Victory, it took two connected manually operated capstans to raise its anchor. It took 144 men to wind them !
It's trippy seeing the clip of the capstone coming off of the boat. It crazy to thing how long I have been following this build.
The continuing level of craftsmanship and precision such as that displayed at the intersection of the top of the medicine cabinet and a deck beam is beautiful to behold.
Great to see more progress and the addition of an original bit of machiney refitted to Tally Ho. I see there's some pretty nasty weather coming to the PNW - I hope it does not cause too much disruption now that Tally Ho is in the open. Thanks again for the update Leo - it's part n parcel of my weekend relaxation regime!
Hello Leo, You were blesses finding Keith to help you with this project. He is a talented multi tasker for sure. Seeing the capstan mounted once again on her for deck will be great. As we watch the progress we are are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel.
THE CAPSTON! A magnificent piece of enginuity went into the fabrication. This will be a momentous occasion the day of the refit. Leo, your one step more away from entering salt water. You and TALLY HO!
I've been following the tale of the Capstan with Keith and Dave; looking forward to seeing it finished.
Great to see all these different skilled people coming together to make a thing like that capstan. I watched Keith Rucker trying to get the things aoart and that pattern making was fascinating. I want to see that pattern cast into the final piece now.
I remember a few years ago when you briefly showed your project plan. I don't know the percent complete. But watching your progress, coordination, and complexities, I think you've done superior project management. I can identify because of my years of experience in project management for several system engineering and life cycle for integrated software and hardware systems. We'll done!😊
Keith's videos on the Capstan are really great, for those who haven't seen. Although sometimes long-winded, it was a very cool, and entertaining, process that they went through. Great contribution to Tally Ho.
Beautiful Cherry cabinets, very fine.
The hand drawings of the capstan's innards are beautiful!
Leo , please , lets have some high res PDF's we can buy , download and print please. Do you still have that young lady doing video editing on your books?. Perhaps she could create these files and generate income for TH
Another great update on the Tally Ho project. Thanks for sharing!
This is an incredible achievement by all of the specialists who worked to reconstruct the capstan from something that was in terrible shape and frozen to broken bits to wooden models to cast fittings to an assembled and motorized capstan. Amazing!!!
Leo, I like to see that you are adding the powered option to that windlass, it is going to be a very welcome addition and will make it much easier to deal with. I think it is going to be a wonderful modification to the original piece of equipment.
Been waiting for more on the capstan...great progress so far with lots of help from many craftspeople. Looking forward to getting it back in place and seeing it work.
been watching the whole process with the capstan. Great to see you commenting on all the various people and trades helping bring it back to life.
I remember watching the episode when the capstan came off, seems so long ago.
I have watched the progress on all the other channels, pretty darn cool. Patten making is such a skill.
Well, every thing on this boat is showing off the skills of the craftsmen involved.
Massive progress in the head. Heating in general. That is some fancy brass.
Amazing craftsmanship for a storage cabinet holding medicine and battery operated devices.
Leo glad to see the capstan brought back to use on TALLY HO.
Great job by all.
Wow! I remember that episode, how far she has come since is amazing
After follow you guys for more than 1'5 year,. I start to think that even Jef Besos is jealous of you guys craftsmanship! You guys are just increadeble!!!!! Fully respect for all off you! And waw man!
Been looking forward to this video! Watched lots of the other channels who have been involved with this Capstan!
Love Brixham, my brother moved to be a fisherman there when we were younger. Would recommend anyone visiting the UK to get out of the cities and visit places such as Brixham.
True no matter where you travel to people tend to go to the large cities or famous places.
3:39 The cast iron cap was already damaged - Keith claimed no one really knew how it was supposed to be disassembled.
They did a great job.
Why would they not try electrolysis?
"Oh Capstan, my Capstan!"
Watched the machining of the capstan and it was really fun.
I have been following this channel since day one and I'm always amazed at the level of craftsmanship that goes into every aspect of rebuilding this vessel. But putting that capstan in a press and breaking it, to get it apart was just too heart breaking to watch. There's ALWAYS, a better solution!
Great to see you going to all that trouble restoring the Capstan.
Wow, the pattern that guy made was incredible. Great job all! It will be a great capstan!
Yes indeed, that capstan in its motorized form will be a very significant addition to the project. Kudos to all the skilled craftsman who continue to contribute.
Another fantastic video. The workmanship is next level. Thanks guys i look forward to every video
Been following a lot of the capstan work. Excited to see it completed!
I can’t wait to see the capstan back to full strength.
The capstan work is incredible! There are so many clever people in the world; it's nice to know how many put that cleverness to good and kind use! DD
Thank you for the amazing videos. Would love to see a video of you showing a clip of all the original pieces you salvaged. Been watching your videos from the beginning and have been amazed at how you've rebuilt it all from scratch, so impressive. I love seeing the original parts being repurposed and saved!
Every member of the crew fill have a 1 and a 1/4 straight burn mark across their right palm, known as "the Mark of Tally Ho". Except for Paddy. Paddy's mark has a bend in it. The most awesome extra story is the one where that heavy deckhand tried to get up from the throne and Tally Ho hit a massive wave. The whole boat has been smelling caramelized pork ever since..
I agree. A Weird and sort of unnecessary thing to put in there in that location that everyone is going to burn themselves on
@@MidwestFarmToys It's the eons old story, where you try too hard, and don't quite know what you are doing..
Might consider auctioning the capstan head pattern. It’s a gorgeous and unique piece of woodwork and I bet someone would love to display it.
Leo, you’re an absolute legend! Can’t wait to see this beauty sailing 🤙
Shout out 2 Patty = AWESOME
Like many of us, I started by watching episode One when it came out and I wish my life away every two weeks waiting for the next episode.
It’s like a drug, I can’t wait till Sunday morning (in Australia)
I watched the video about the Capstan being pulled apart. I have done so many jobs like that where a decision needs to be made between braking part of it to move forward and not moving forward at all. The fact that the cap was already broken obviously makes that decision that much easier. I leant to swear on just such jobs.😁
