I know it's a joke that Pete doesn't like being filmed / interviewed, but he's actually really good at it. Once the Tally Ho is built I'd happily follow him on his own boat-building adventures...
I actually came on here to say the very same thing! Pete is good in front of the camera, and he has a lot to teach. Someday, after Tally Ho has sailed off into the sunset, I hope we can all continue to follow Pete on his own RUclips channel.
BOY has he come a long way! I was thinking the same thing that he's a good presenter of info and a good teacher. I imagine he was always that way in person and just had to warm up to us;) Not everyone is comfortable in front of a camera at first.
I have a neighbor who calls the gestapo [code enforcment] on me for my workers blocking the sidewalk while unloading a trailer but never longer than 5 minutes and when I parked on my front yard to get it off the street for snow removal, got a ticket for that one. I now park 1/2 of my car in front of his house and as its legal he can't do anything. he called the police and all I could see was the cop shrugging his shoulders. Don't tell him but cop said he knew what was going on, laughed and drove off. Love the bird and superb job on the boat.
@@phlodel I was about to say the same thing! I've been watching since Leo's first video about it when he hadn't yet decided whether to take it on! You could tell he was going to do it!
3:20 This time lapse shows the planking in a nice shallow wash of sunlight where you can see broader shadow lines where adjacent planks have not yet been faired. The shadows quickly disappear under time lapse as the fairing proceeds. It's an early step, but very satisfying.
Very right. And y'know, being able to convey this info on camera helps sell it, raise awareness of it, grow the "wooden boat construction on RUclips community" and besides Leo, there's not a nicer genuine guy on planet earth who's also hyper capable in boat building as Pete. I don't think I exaggerate when I say Pete's become somewhat of a RUclips star in his own right, which is highly deserved. But the rest of the crew is gold standard as well.
I’m looking forward to the Pirate Episode where Pancho sits on your shoulder while you sail toward the Bahamas with your eye patch on, barking at Pete and his Custom Purple Heart peg-legs, asking him what he’s doing!
@@shopshop144 She dies technically belong to the house owners. But parakeets are such social birds she may well have to leave with Leo. The sudden loss of company would be traumatic for her.
Too bad he never try to teach Pancho how to speak. I never occurred to me to say something back when he started. They can vocalize and speak. I remember growing up with one as a little child.
I agree, its going to be hard watching all that craftsmanship covered with paint. However leo and crew will pull it off in such away, tally ho will simply blow the rest out of water with her fine lines
I was thinking the same. Is there no marine grade sealer/varnish available for this job. In South Africa we have a marine sealer made by Woodoc that works well but I don't know it it is suitable for this application. The wood is just amazing!!!
Can you imagine what a 18th/19th century sailing vessel must have had to carry along in order to rebuild planking, framing, masts, keels, etc. off the coast of some atoll where the hull had been stoved in during a storm? Not to mention the carpenters, carpenters' mates, etc. This video series really brings to life all of the Patrick O'Brian Aubrey/Maturin novels for me. Thank you!
My father was an apprentice boat builder in New Zealand before WW2 and he had to fair a 28 footer with just a plane and a scraper.. I can now appreciate what a lot of work that was.
Leo. I am so glad you addressed the issue of how good is good enough. For my money that is where skill and experience come into play. As a woodworker and skilled wood craftsman, this is the apex of your expertise. I am afraid too many people think in black and white and the world isn't that way and building a boat is definitely not that way. That being said your attention to detail is a horse of a different color and I am not sure how I could explain the difference to most people other than those in the trades. I have watched the build from the beginning and I love every moment of this as this stuff is the stuff that makes me tick Thanks RC
- The only good enough is perfect or as close as humanly possible considering the materials involved. Not everything can be a Faberge egg but the effort is the journey and the perfect "egg" is the destination. Good job Leo & Co.
Leo , I'm most relieved to see that she's nearly watertight now, and looking so beautiful. I've been worried all this time that the Cascadia fault might pop at any moment (sod's law) and send her to the bottom. But now, when it does go, you and your trusty crew'll be able to ride her on the tsunami all the way to Port Townsend, thus saving the undoubtedly high moving costs. By my reckoning, you'll get from Sequim to Port T in about 23 minutes, along with the shed and all your bits and pieces. And, you'll be able to wave to the neighbour and the County jobsworths as you go past. Don't forget the parrot though. You can send it ashore to look for olive branches (or whatever they have in those parts) later on.
It's incredible how much Tally 'Ho has changed after the initial fairing, I don't know if this is because of the freshly sanded wood or the shape of her hull is so much more smooth and graceful but boy does she look good!
Hey Leo. I came across one of your videos while searching for something else and quickly became hooked. I've managed to binge watch all of your vids within the last several days and have only become more impressed with you (and of course Pete and the rest of your crew!) as each video has come to an end. Your humble, self deprecating attitude, your attention to detail and realistic expectations, as well as your affable manner, make you a rare gem. I've been a cabinet maker for 46 years, started when I was 14, and have a great appreciation for your use, and respect of tools. Your ingenuity at solving problems is phenomenal! It is your attitude that is attracting, quite literally, the world to you. I can't even begin to imagine the true impact you are having, and on how many lives you are actually having an effect on! I have suggested to my friends and family (and anyone else that will listen) to watch your videos to see a true "Renascence Man" in action. It gives me great hope to know that there are those that wish to keep these traditions alive. I, for one, am truly humbled by your efforts and contribution to the greater community of "Us".

It’s amazes me how young Pete and Leo are and how much knowledge they have between them. Seems like a great partnership to me. Maybe there’ll be more of the dynamic duo after this project is completed, or maybe maybe Leo will sail off once she’s completed and never be seen again? Whatever happens, it’s been fun watching.
about 6:08, the band saw was throwing sparks. Check the guides and bearings for wear. It should NOT do that. Tally Ho is looking even better now. Great job.
I am a car guy, it was interesting to see the term "fairing" used by shipwrights as my side of the world just calls it "bodywork". Seeing you guys sand, feel, sand, run you hand, sand, maybe put a straight edge down, and...mostly sand...well, THAT all looks very familiar. We have other tools; a hammer and dolly, shrinking the metal, a torch, in the old days lead, (my father taught me the basics, he was a master with the lead and paddle) now fillers, etc...you guys can only sand to get it smooth, work the curves into her shape. Same idea, very different surfaces..but the truth is the same for both, 90% of the work gets done before the paint can ever gets opened. I said it before, I understand it can't be, but that raw wood...kinda a bit sad it has to be hidden under the paint...it is beautiful..even more so after the "bodywork" is done...
I have to agree with your sentiment about covering up all of that beautiful wood crafting with paint. But just as you will apply paint to your car(s) when the work is done, in order to protect the build material, I guess a boat needs the same level of protection. Its just that the base material is so much more aesthetically pleasing in a boat than in a car 😎
@@tassie7325 because this is a historical restoration, more or less, the off-white has to go over it. But on a lot of modern smaller watercraft, you can use a clear epoxy to show off the wood, while still protecting it. And I agree, it most certainly DOES look better that way.
Funny to see fairing done in real life. I have done it only in NAPA models for cruise ships. And it is a lot of work also in virtual models. Problems and methods seems to be almost the same in both (/in all).
"...not much to look at...". Do you still not know us, Leo? I did not miss a single second. Actually relaxing to watch. I am glad Pancho is there to check that the fairing is done properly. Natural Born Supervisor.
Have been watching from the 2nd episode (immediately went back and watched Ep1). Just beautiful work. Very nicely done, explained, filmed. This series is going to be a "textbook" for others. The lofting floor episode is a classic.
Pete at 10:40 speaking truth. I restore runabouts, Chris Crafts, Shepherds etc, I find fairing the most challenging part of my job. Back and forth thinking you’ve got it only having to retrace your steps. The size of Tally Ho to fair is daunting. Fairing a 20’ boat has its own challenges especially when your plank stock is 3/8” thick. I work all day on boats only to come in a watch Leo and crew restore this beauty. (Hello, my name is Nick and I have a problem)
The hard part is to know when to stop. I usualy work till it starts getting wors again. In you case I would probably be like:" Hmm I can see the ribs again.... Lets go back to planking!" 🤣
Just received in the mail a thank you card from The Three Sisters (Marshall 'The Pink Fireman') along with a small piece of Live Oak he hauled across the country as a 'small token' of appreciation for sending them a donation. Leo, you have a way of attracting such wonderful people, and is a pleasure watching all your videos. Thank you!
Many years ago I remember reading a piece in Wooden Boat magazine by legendary New England boatbuilder Bud McIntosh; must have been the late '70's or early ',80's. He was writing about fairing the hull of a newly planked wooden boat and began by setting out the tools that would be needed. After listing the various types of planes, spokeshaves, sanding blocks and boards and so on. He ended his list with words to this effect...." and a shotgun to scare away anyone who might approach the boat with any sort of power tool.." How things (and power tools) have changed in the last 50 years! Keep up the good work.
Still hoping for Ceccas return . Making great progress in spite of the challenges. Not the least of which are the mental obstacles . Looking forward to future vloges
Hello Leo et al , A beautiful boat , great courage and perfection to shoulder the task. Please honour both your heritage and that of Albert Strange and consider a "Gardner Diesel" your boat deserves the everlasting quality , justice and royalty of a Gardner, which , as opposed to Kubota junk , they run for ever . Should the window of opportunity present itself , please take a few minutes to view a Utube channel called "Western truck and tractor repairs ranting about kubota" . this man is from Klamath Falls with 40 years diesel repairs . Kubotas are disposable junk , your electronics and generator peripheries can still be utilized . Installing a Kubota on your magnificent craft would be a a tremendous shame. Love your show, been an an adherent since you began . Tremendous respect for you , your boat and your craftsmen. You are already a living legend . Long live Leo and his beautiful boat ( Gardner included of course ).
*- No hull caught glint is the land to which you sail.* *- A careful chore that be.* *- Rolling swells and hollows heard, and calmed by a master's hand.* *- Reeds of wood call sharp or flat to the tune of Light's fair.*
Leo... The Patreons ++ allow you to be "able" to make an entertaining video... TRUE... Fortunately for us... you have the skill set, drive, and intelligence... to pull that off... Each and Every Time!!! Thanks You...
"Faring, faring, all to get to the open sea",,,,, honestly guys, I've had enough experience with a 'long bored' to feel the sore shoulders you'll soon be experiencing. God's love and mercy on you! keep a pencil handy and faring, faring,,,,,,,,.
This is yet another episode that shows just how much work goes into a wooden boat of which most people would have no idea at all. You all are doing a great job. Here in Australia we call them plugs not bungs, we call bungs the ones that go thru the hull to enable you to drain water.
I can only imagine how many hours of planing, grinding and sanding went into this twenty one minute video. Makes my back hurt just thinking about it...
I really liked the video of Pancho. It was wonderful to have a chance to see her up close and personal. It is hard to believe such a vivid and intricate color scheme exists, but there she is in all her glory. I love watching her walk. Such deliberation. Such a rolling side-to-side motion.
The effort and attention to detail on a timber structure so large is astounding, I get the shits just sanding a deck at home. I didn't realise how unfair the hull was until the team faired it, the difference is amazing
This guy is incredibly patient and persistent. He deserves an award for doing more of the tedious work than anyone except Leo. FYI, bottles are corked, ships are caulked.
Its amazing to look at how stunning the hull looks! And I'm cast back to watching an amazing young man wrestling the keel timber out of a knackered old boat on his own and wondering if he can save it.
It's really nice to see this video which takes on finition spirit. You did some Haute Couture work for Tally Ho. A gorgeous gala dress ! And it's for why it's very moving for me to rewiew and see her arriving on her trailer in the courtyard almost 4 years ago ( episode 2 ). Congratulations Leo, Pete, and all the team for your wonderful work in love. I can't wait to see the next. The storm seems over and forgotten. Philippe from Tahiti
I know that what I'm going to say really doesn't apply to this boat, but might to modern racing hulls. As a person who has studied aerodynamics and hydrodynamics in college, I learned that a smooth surface does not always have the lowest coefficient of friction to the slipstream. Done properly, a rough surface can create micro eddy currents that can act like little marbles and create a slicker surface overall. This action is similar to why a golf-ball has dimples.
I do a bit of woodworking myself, furniture mostly. I can easily see how true the statement is. I've had to redo many a piece of wood because some fool tried to use a power tool. Power tools can do some things more accurately and quickly, but you often have more control with hand tools.
One of the best videos you've ever made. I learned so much and your demonstrations and explanations were extremely interesting. I may not be a boatbuilder but I can still appreciate fairness and how one goes about approaching it. Your knowledge of wood and water and how you share it makes me realize...again....how specialized wooden boatbuilding is. Thanks to all who shared their jobs. Each and every one did a great job explaining. Just thank you so much for the video! You're a great documentary producer!
Ok... 4 mins after notification and there are 1700 views. Been waiting al morning. Thought I would be one of the first. Guess about 2000 other people had the same plan.
The "whisky plank" gave me the idea of comparing the fairing of the hull with whisky tasting. This wonderful smell of ground wood will certainly be different at spots where another type of timber has been used. I wouldn't mind to get somehow 'smell-drunk' this way.
Lovely music, wonderful video. I live in Vigo (N.W. of Spain) in front of the Ria there are some shipyards that continue to make boats like centuries ago. Sailor regards for you and your fellow workers.
Hey Up Pal! I can almost imagine, Tally Ho, tied up in Port Townsend, early morning with a bit of steam off water, sitting on her deck, and having a hot cup of Tetley’s watching the sun break the horizon. Nice work Team. Keep it up Pete, camera shyness is bout gone Bruh.
Made my kid watch so he understands the history, craftsmanship, artistry and thought process that goes into every time I call him a bunghole. He got a little choked up, love that kid...and Leo too.
Pete has become surprisingly comfortable in front of the camera which is good to see.It was a good idea to persevere and add another skill to his talents.
I love the idea of Leo continuously coming up with reasons they need to do more work before they move it. "The mast will help make sure it has a more efficient center of mass for lifting." "The mast needs the sails to help balance the load" "We need to install the motor to help propel it while we're moving it"
When this is all done, you should take all the best bits from this journey, put them all together, and offer it as a book for sale to the public. Thanks again. Looks Great!
Some people get seriously mad at Leo because of the Makita April fool's !?! they got to be seriously "thick"... That's why you need to build a boat to escape this world...
Leo, I don't know whether they'd "take it" or not, but get a few comfy lawn chairs, an ice chest and at least some snacks and soft drinks and invite the contentious neighbors over daily to just watch you all work up close on this remarkable and amazing project. Perhaps they will better appreciate just what is being created by a wonderful team of very hard working young citizens of the world!!! INCLUSION?!?!?

I am glad Pancho is there to check that the fairing is done properly. Natural Born Supervisor.
And she already knows how to dance the sailors jig!
Have been watching from the 2nd episode (immediately went back and watched Ep1). Just beautiful work. Very nicely done, explained, filmed. This series is going to be a "textbook" for others. The lofting floor episode is a classic.
Yeah, this is whole series is ASMR to those of us with a craftsman's heart. Well said.
Pete at 10:40 speaking truth. I restore runabouts, Chris Crafts, Shepherds etc, I find fairing the most challenging part of my job. Back and forth thinking you’ve got it only having to retrace your steps. The size of Tally Ho to fair is daunting. Fairing a 20’ boat has its own challenges especially when your plank stock is 3/8” thick. I work all day on boats only to come in a watch Leo and crew restore this beauty. (Hello, my name is Nick and I have a problem)
The hard part is to know when to stop. I usualy work till it starts getting wors again.
In you case I would probably be like:" Hmm I can see the ribs again.... Lets go back to planking!" 🤣
Yep. Keep fixing it until it is broken........
I love that a Brit picked baseball music. Beauty!
Just received in the mail a thank you card from The Three Sisters (Marshall 'The Pink Fireman') along with a small piece of Live Oak he hauled across the country as a 'small token' of appreciation for sending them a donation. Leo, you have a way of attracting such wonderful people, and is a pleasure watching all your videos. Thank you!
I love the way Pancho walks, like a old pirate pacing his quarterdeck.
Pancho is *FEMALE*
Happy Saturday, Gang 🥂
My thoughts exactly!
Many years ago I remember reading a piece in Wooden Boat magazine by legendary New England boatbuilder Bud McIntosh; must have been the late '70's or early ',80's. He was writing about fairing the hull of a newly planked wooden boat and began by setting out the tools that would be needed. After listing the various types of planes, spokeshaves, sanding blocks and boards and so on. He ended his list with words to this effect...." and a shotgun to scare away anyone who might approach the boat with any sort of power tool.." How things (and power tools) have changed in the last 50 years! Keep up the good work.
At this stage of boat building, a Massuse would be a great addition to your crew.
several!
If I was local, I'd def volunteer...
Wow, she's never looked sleeker, what an acomplishment.
This is so much like reading a good book - you want to see how it all turns out, but you don't want to get to the end!!
Bunging 4000+, caulking, and sanding new planking on a boat the size of Tally Ho, what fun!
Still hoping for Ceccas return . Making great progress in spite of the challenges. Not the least of which are the mental obstacles . Looking forward to future vloges
Hello Leo et al , A beautiful boat , great courage and perfection to shoulder the task. Please honour both your heritage and that of Albert Strange and consider a "Gardner Diesel" your boat deserves the everlasting quality , justice and royalty of a Gardner, which , as opposed to Kubota junk , they run for ever . Should the window of opportunity present itself , please take a few minutes to view a Utube channel called "Western truck and tractor repairs ranting about kubota" . this man is from Klamath Falls with 40 years diesel repairs . Kubotas are disposable junk , your electronics and generator peripheries can still be utilized . Installing a Kubota on your magnificent craft would be a a tremendous shame. Love your show, been an an adherent since you began . Tremendous respect for you , your boat and your craftsmen. You are already a living legend . Long live Leo and his beautiful boat ( Gardner included of course ).
*- No hull caught glint is the land to which you sail.*
*- A careful chore that be.*
*- Rolling swells and hollows heard, and calmed by a master's hand.*
*- Reeds of wood call sharp or flat to the tune of Light's fair.*
Wish I was 30 yrs younger, I'd join you. Always been my dream.
Such a masterpiece! It will pain me a little bit to see that beautiful wood get painted.
Off white? Leo mentioned....check out "binkey episode 33....insanely nice morris minor paint job on youtube....took 9 weeks!
Leave it natural making it a "huge Chris Craft". Just kidding, of course. ;o)
Finally, in episode 95, we see a spokeshave in use!
Leo... The Patreons ++ allow you to be "able" to make an entertaining video... TRUE... Fortunately for us... you have the skill set, drive, and intelligence... to pull that off... Each and Every Time!!! Thanks You...
"Faring, faring, all to get to the open sea",,,,, honestly guys, I've had enough experience with a 'long bored' to feel the sore shoulders you'll soon be experiencing. God's love and mercy on you! keep a pencil handy and faring, faring,,,,,,,,.
I imagine the whisky on completion of the planking is because volunteers for fairing are traditionally harder to get if everyone is sober.
This is yet another episode that shows just how much work goes into a wooden boat of which most people would have no idea at all. You all are doing a great job. Here in Australia we call them plugs not bungs, we call bungs the ones that go thru the hull to enable you to drain water.
I can only imagine how many hours of planing, grinding and sanding went into this twenty one minute video. Makes my back hurt just thinking about it...
And both arms and sboulders
I really liked the video of Pancho. It was wonderful to have a chance to see her up close and personal. It is hard to believe such a vivid and intricate color scheme exists, but there she is in all her glory. I love watching her walk. Such deliberation. Such a rolling side-to-side motion.
I'm not sure you should be talking like that...... This is a family show.
Leo playing "Take me out to the ball game", classic! Love your music choices.
Wouldn't it be nicer to see Pancho free and fly wherever he wants? He was born to be free.
Your April Fools prank was hilarious. The fact the people got upset speaks for the success of it, I think.
I can feel the softness of the wood by viewing the video. Maximum respect to Leo and Pete.
Fairing looks hard but digging the canal to move the boat will be harder :)
There is a digger over at the Suez with nothing to do now.
Will be moved out the same way as moved in, see Episode 2!!!
Robinson Crusoe did it so can they 🙂
A spokeshave! Cool.
Pancho looking at that planer with admiration....can shred more wood than any bird!
Those noisy green parrots that are all called Makita!
The effort and attention to detail on a timber structure so large is astounding, I get the shits just sanding a deck at home.
I didn't realise how unfair the hull was until the team faired it, the difference is amazing
How on earth could anybody dislike this?
My arms hurts just watching those guys doing the fairing. Holy goodness.
I'm always impressed even after nearly 100 episodes!
This guy is incredibly patient and persistent. He deserves an award for doing more of the tedious work than anyone except Leo. FYI, bottles are corked, ships are caulked.
For some reason boat builders pronounce “caulk” as “cork”. I think they know it’s wrong, but it’s authentic and they won’t change.
Tally Ho is looking great. I'm sure 'the neighbor' is going to love the caulking hammers.
The powerplaner playing over the funky beat is kinda futuristic. Bungo!
Its amazing to look at how stunning the hull looks! And I'm cast back to watching an amazing young man wrestling the keel timber out of a knackered old boat on his own and wondering if he can save it.
Well Pete. Welcome to the world of an auto body repairman.
Hull fairing: the stage of boat building where the shipwrights start drinking early.
Cant' do that... it'll go all wobbly -like.
@Markus Patients The Bourbon bung.
@@MaShcode Like the Whiskey Plank?
@@crustycurmudgeon2182 Bourbon Bung is even better, because it could be the actual bung from a wooden cask of bourbon.
@@Nphen Ah! Excellent point! I salute you!
Each week that boat gets more beautiful. She's getting some curves. I look forward to the corking explanation and tutorial.
Your choice of music is better than almost any other youtuber. I wish they would learn from you. :)
Daaaamn.......She's looking smooooooth!😍
It's really nice to see this video which takes on finition spirit. You did some Haute Couture work for Tally Ho. A gorgeous gala dress ! And it's for why it's very moving for me to rewiew and see her arriving on her trailer in the courtyard almost 4 years ago ( episode 2 ). Congratulations Leo, Pete, and all the team for your wonderful work in love. I can't wait to see the next. The storm seems over and forgotten. Philippe from Tahiti
I am exhausted just watching you guys work. Even the b roll bird dancing wipes me out.
Neigbor complained about the noise and dust... "ok we will move the boat just let us do this one thing" LET THE FAIRING BEGIN!
...dont forget about the caulking...
I know that what I'm going to say really doesn't apply to this boat, but might to modern racing hulls. As a person who has studied aerodynamics and hydrodynamics in college, I learned that a smooth surface does not always have the lowest coefficient of friction to the slipstream. Done properly, a rough surface can create micro eddy currents that can act like little marbles and create a slicker surface overall. This action is similar to why a golf-ball has dimples.
I remember from reading about bow and arrow making there was a saying in the book, "a power tool can ruin five days of work in 5 seconds"
I do a bit of woodworking myself, furniture mostly. I can easily see how true the statement is. I've had to redo many a piece of wood because some fool tried to use a power tool. Power tools can do some things more accurately and quickly, but you often have more control with hand tools.
This project is one of the truly wonderful examples of the human spirit in this mad mad world we are living in just now .
God bless you all.
One of the best videos you've ever made. I learned so much and your demonstrations and explanations were extremely interesting. I may not be a boatbuilder but I can still appreciate fairness and how one goes about approaching it. Your knowledge of wood and water and how you share it makes me realize...again....how specialized wooden boatbuilding is. Thanks to all who shared their jobs. Each and every one did a great job explaining. Just thank you so much for the video! You're a great documentary producer!
The BungMeister has spoken!
Ok... 4 mins after notification and there are 1700 views. Been waiting al morning. Thought I would be one of the first. Guess about 2000 other people had the same plan.
Patreons get it first...
Tally Ho and Arabella the BEST channels on YT................
The pan down starting at 19:14 is pure gold! The attention to detail is striking. Amazing job by all who helped rebuild Tally Ho.
Beautiful, what an education, don’t let the parrot loose on the boat.
As a steel ship builder I really enjoy learning about wood ship building 😉.
The "whisky plank" gave me the idea of comparing the fairing of the hull with whisky tasting. This wonderful smell of ground wood will certainly be different at spots where another type of timber has been used. I wouldn't mind to get somehow 'smell-drunk' this way.
Lovely music, wonderful video.
I live in Vigo (N.W. of Spain) in front of the Ria there are some shipyards that continue to make boats like centuries ago. Sailor regards for you and your fellow workers.
Love the footage parrot too.
Insightful and practical.

Hey Up Pal!
I can almost imagine, Tally Ho, tied up in Port Townsend, early morning with a bit of steam off water, sitting on her deck, and having a hot cup of Tetley’s watching the sun break the horizon.
Nice work Team. Keep it up Pete, camera shyness is bout gone Bruh.
And the early ferry from Keystone on the way...
indescrepencies- now there it is the best new word I ever heard
Hi Leo, you're going to have to get the hull really smooth, so that one day, you can beat Jolie Brise in the Fastnet...
Made my kid watch so he understands the history, craftsmanship, artistry and thought process that goes into every time I call him a bunghole. He got a little choked up, love that kid...and Leo too.
Gosh, that fairing looks like back-breaking work, even with power tools!
Wait until the long boarding...
Pete has become surprisingly comfortable in front of the camera which is good to see.It was a good idea to persevere and add another skill to his talents.
Hi Leo from North Wales UK. What an amazing restoration project!
@graham smith Amazing is'nt it!
4:56 - You know us so well, my friend. So satisfying. Watched that delightful plug sequence twice!
...poke, poke, poke... I want to make bungs. Is OCD "bubble-wrap popping"-style therapy a good enough reason to buy a bandsaw? ;)
I love the idea of Leo continuously coming up with reasons they need to do more work before they move it. "The mast will help make sure it has a more efficient center of mass for lifting." "The mast needs the sails to help balance the load" "We need to install the motor to help propel it while we're moving it"
I miss Rowan. He was special.
In all “fair” ness to you guys- an amazing job.
When this is all done, you should take all the best bits from this journey, put them all together, and offer it as a book for sale to the public. Thanks again. Looks Great!
Some people get seriously mad at Leo because of the Makita April fool's !?! they got to be seriously "thick"...
That's why you need to build a boat to escape this world...
I cant find the April fool's episide
@@fredgarvin4482 you got to check the facebook page. it was picture on a single post.
@@jeromedarracq ah.
I dont have the FB. But thanks
Sanding in slow motion looks so much more graceful and artistic.
Once I knew a guy who faired so well that he got a hull in one.
Leo, I don't know whether they'd "take it" or not, but get a few comfy lawn chairs, an ice chest and at least some snacks and soft drinks and invite the contentious neighbors over daily to just watch you all work up close on this remarkable and amazing project. Perhaps they will better appreciate just what is being created by a wonderful team of very hard working young citizens of the world!!! INCLUSION?!?!?
