The entire Tally Ho project has had some amazing craftsman work on it.
Kieth is reproducing the work that a prior generation of craftsmen in another country did.
I agree and find it fascinating to watch
the boats original plans are a Smithsonian exhibit and they have been participating in the back ground from almost the very start. the completed project as built will be added to the existing drawings and plans so odds are pretty good that Keith's name will go in there as having restored this iconic part of the boat along with the names of the other main systems providers and contractors same as was done for the original records.
there is ONLY one place that it was bad and looks bad, the tile behind the stove. but yes otherwise an amazing work done
Great episode!
"Fortunately I have a half-inch 12 tap..." This man has everything!" As my father used to say, "our generation can do anything!"
1/2" bsw must be like rocking horse shit in USA
Reminds me of a rule my son made up - "Don't ask Dad if we _have_ a tool, just ask where it is." 😂
hes been collecting tools for around 40+ years. my collection dont even bump the needle on a tents indicator. lol.
I know originality is a concern with projects like this, but it would have been better if Leo had Keith just replace everything with either metric or more common size imperial hardware. Imagine having to find a replacement 12tpi bolt on some random island during Tally Ho's journeys
Being able to watch "over the shoulder" of such a skilled machinist is really a privilege, and these kinds of videos are really the best thing about this platform.Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
If you think this butcher is a "skilled machinist" you know nothing about machining!
This guy has lots of machines, and very little skill at using them.
If you want to see some "skilled machinists" at work I suggest you visit either Cutting Edge Engineering or Mattys Workshop and I hope you will be able to see the difference because it is like day and night.
The day is approaching when this capstan will once more haul an anchor from deep below Tally Ho. Will enjoy watching the huge grins of her crew.
We hope the day is coming
@@braddobson2060Hopefully the guys in the UK finally get the parts to Keith so he can finish the capstan. Not that time as ever mattered much to Leo. He's down again anyway due to another company sending him the wrong gearbox for his prop and motor.
As a Retired machinists myself watching you work brings back memories. Good job!
Setting up camera's, editing, reviewing, fixing, etc. doesn't take awful lot of time. It takes an absolutely insane amount of time. :-)
I wonder when he will set up the cameras on the Stoker Engine?
Top job Keith. Be so good to have it finished. Go well ok
As a retired moldmaker I really enjoy watching you running all that old equipment that I used to run while building plastic injection molds . Keep up the good work !
Speaking of that, did you watch how the mold was made for the capstan and then sent to Windy Hill foundry? There are quite a few videos of the mold making process and the casting.
I was wondering if the capstan could have been cast using some other method other than green sand, like some type of evaporation loss method.
Such a great collaboration. Great work Keith.
Tally Ho and his steam engine work are my fav's.
In the last year work on the Tally Ho has proceeded so quickly that Leo hasn't been able to keep up with video logs of everything that has been going on (obviously having 10 people working at the same time makes it impossible to record everything) so this capstan project has been a real pleasure to watch and see in detail all of the steps of the whole process of restoration and rebuilding needed to make a 112 year-old piece of machinery work again, improved and modernized too.
I can imagine how rewarding it must feel to reach this stage. Very well done, Keith!
Ya know...Keith has a huge breadth of knowledge from his many years in the business which helps him figure his way through a challenging project but the thing, in my mind, that makes him a craftsperson is his ability to hand drill a hole and have it be straight and in the right place. I have been consistently impressed over his many projects with this talent of his. I have drilled so many holes over the years that were less than perfectly straight or in the perfect place that I have a real appreciation for how really difficult this seemingly simple task can be.
The concept of the transfer punch was an absolute revelation to me. So simple yet so elegant.
6:55 - “…we’re making progress.” Talk about an understatement. . . . Great work!
I wish you could deliver the capstan in person. Would love to see you meet Leo, the crew, and Tally Ho. Vacation ???
"Transfer punch". I learn at least one thing in every episode. Thanks Keith. Great channel.
Gonna miss the capstan project when its done. Your videos, Dave's (pattern guy) videos, Clarks Video's...and of course Leo's Videos. What a journey.
So are you going up to Port Townsend, love to see you on Tally Ho after all this.
Would love to see that happen 😃👍
Certainly earned!
Always enjoy watching a great machinist at work. Tally Ho (A cry made by the huntsman to tell others the quarry has been sighted.)
I was lucky enough to have someone talking to me about the trade as a kid. He always used the "Hand-fit is the best fit" aphorism. I learned that sometimes a file and a bit of time could produce good work. Good job.
It is always good to recognize when good enough is good enough. I fully expected there to be a machine back in the corner that drilled holes perpendicular to the center of round castings. Enjoyed that Keith just hand drilled those final bolt holes!
I am so impressed with the whole Tally Ho project
I do worry about the cast iron ,and how badly it reacts with salt water and the associated damaged to the wood that its mounted to . However, I am certain that. Sampson Boat Works. will answer all my concerns and soon , we have the pleasure of watching this beautiful capstan , beautifully finished and mounted in place with Tally Ho carving through the waves of a stiff breeze along with all it top sails and sporting a pennant . Every single person who i have watched on TH-cam that has had anything to do with making parts for this incredible project has really put their heart in to it . Leo , proud owner and captain of Tally Ho you have entertained and inspired hundreds of thousands of people with arguably best project on TH-cam. I look forward to watching and savour every new episode. Your final achievement is quite simply spectacular and beyond words. Your parents must be so proud . Well done Keith for your wonderful contribution.
Will look good back on TallyHo!
Tally Ho is in the water now. Can't wait to see this on the boat.Good job, always impressed with your know how.
Just watched Tally Ho's first sea trail under sail. The entire process has been fascinating. I can't wait to see the finished capstan on board!
I haven't used a tap, or a die set since high school. It brought back memories to watch you show us how to do it properly. Shout out to Mr. Braithwaite and the men of the workshops who had so much patience with us wide eyed and raucous schoolboys.
Bravo Keith, the end is in sight for this amazing Tally Ho project. Many thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks so much for sharing your talent, knowledge and “shop-to-die-for” with us on this incredibly interesting project Keith. I have nearly 50 years of experience as a Mechanical Design Engineer and I learn something from every one of your videos. Your friendly, low-key, no-stupid loud music or cussing style is one of the best on TH-cam. You, Watch Wes Work, Diesel Creek and Mustie1 are my absolute favourite channels
1/2" x 12 pitches is a BSW thread (British Standard Whitworth), still is today. The thread form is 55 degrees rather than 60. The angle is supposed to make it less likely to come loose than a 60 degree thread, although I have to say I have seen no definitive testing on it. It became THE British standard thread in the mid 1800's and was the first standard thread in the world, it was still widely used to the 80's, although we are now mainly metric, thank goodness. Wikipedia as ever have a good page on it, with links to its inventor Joseph Whitworth.
My suspicion is that if Kieth brought a 1/2in 12tpi tap he may have been given a BSW tap by the vendor. I don't know the trade but I suspect that unless asked specifically for a 60 deg thread it would have been assumed that a BSW was what was wanted when 1/2in 12tpi was asked for.
In fact I suspect the reason 1/2in 13tpi, ands odd choice of tpi, is the current standard in the US is to avoid mixing of 55deg vs 60deg threads.
I have a 60 degree 12 TPI. Also cutting a whitworth was hard, small shops used a sharp 60
@billdoodson4232
He said specifically that he could tell it was 60° from the thread gauge. Did you not watch the video?
@billstevens3796 I did watch the video. Tally Ho was originally built as the Betty in the UK. Back then, a 60-degree thread form with that pitch would have been very, very unusual. I'm certainly not disparaging Keith, but 55 degree is not far off 60 and without a 55 degree thread gauge to compare with, it's quite possible to be out, with a bit of wear etc. I will check with a BSW bolt and my BSW and UNC gauges when I am back in the workshop next week, assuming my UNC gauges have a 12 TPI leaf.
@@billdoodson4232 You are forgetting that it wasn't only 55 degrees, there was a radius formed in both outer edge and root. They are not interchangeable.
Awesome Job ! My Uncle Willi fixed such old Stuff, he won't let old things disappear ....... and now he is not with us here for 10 Years, all his work is still here ! 🙏
My money's on a reasonably trouble-free assembly of the components when the box finally arrives from the UK. Keith has done a masterful job on this challenging project and it's been an absolute pleasure to follow along.
Good thing you didn’t scratch your nose with your hands at the end of the video. ;-) Boy cast iron is messy stuff!
Facilitating and brilliant as always Keith.
TALLY HO!!!
Keith’s definitely not afraid of getting his hands dirty, whatever it is, he just digs right in.
Absolutely!
Those bronze fittings fit really nicely and they make it start to look like a machine and not a sculpture, this is really exciting! Tally Ho first sail has happened - she does look spectacular and like a Kings yacht, takes my breathe away since I feel I know this boat and she sails so well but that was just two sails. First sail is incredibly special, Leo and the crew were loving it :)
You're doing a great job; I never really thought about machinists having a style but they do and I like your style. Grinders and hand held drilling, not to mention hand tapping :) It's machining from a different era which is perfect for this capstan.
Three sails - main, stays’l and jib
@@manfredagne6738 I'm not a sailor. :P
At a guess I would say 50% of full?
I was waiting for the dremil tool to come out for the grinding
I didn’t know that dremel had yellow tools. Lol
That’s the first time I’ve seen a Dewalt grinder like that, with the straight shank on the end. I thought I had been keeping up on Dewalt’s cordless tool line, I guess I missed that one. Every time I look at their tool line up it costs me more money than I should be spending just to look at what they have.
Well done! I was amazed at how closely the new cap matches the piece of the old one - not just the casting, which was expected, but the color as well. Super excited to see the whole thing go together!
First, the finishing up of the Diresta band-saw, and soon, the completion of the Tally Ho capstan. Two long term projects that have been a joy to follow along. Seeing Jimmy Diresta's video on setting up and using the saw was great. I look forward to Leo and his crew installing the capstan, too. Makers doing projects to help other makers make and/or do things is really fun to see.
Must. Keep. Watching.
And hello from New Zealand

Classic, so few of us and yet we're everywhere lol

Hello from Ohio, U.S.A!
Keith, after watching you for many months, doing amazing things with your wonderful vintage machinery, you FINALLY used a tool that I actually have in my shop … a cordless hand drill. Very empowering! Makes me feel capable of facing some projects on my own. 😅. Thank you for taking the time to share your work with us. Cheers and Tally Ho.
Hey Keith… as a layman, knowing virtually nothing of your world, I find this incredibly fascinating. I would have never guessed it would take so many steps for this piece of machinery to be brought back to life. Tally Ho was fortunate to find you. Thanks for sharing this with the world. 🇨🇦
1/2" x 12 is probably BSW (British Standard Whitworth), we come across it all the time here in the UK. I have been told the first standard thread in the world. Thanks for another great video Keith.
It's been an interesting international project. Been watching this this channel for many, many years and it has never been dull. Looking forward to the future and your 'retirement'. Best wishes from Cornwall UK.
It's been a fascinating ride and takes me back to my apprenticeship days in the UK steel industry.
Thank you Keith 👍 Tally Ho really has been rebuilt with the best parts and skills.
I don't know what the world would do without you !
You are one of those guys who know exactly what is needed. Great viewing.
Yes, 1/2" is The One that causes the MOST Issues .... 1/2" BSW and 1/2" UNC are just 1 TPI Different .... Most of the 'Other' ones are Very Similar .... Just love your work .... Such 'Old Fashioned Skill' .... Many years of experience .... I am 73 myself, a Toolmaker, so I sure can appreciate just what you do So Well .... Best to ALL from ChCh, NZ....
Always a joy to watch an experienced craftsman work. I taught people how to use tools and I can tell just from how he holds his hand tools that he has an immense amount of experience. For those who wish to learn these skill pay attention to his body position as he grinds away the material to fit the brass part. he supports and steadies the tool against his body and moves his whole torso to control and guide the work precisely. That attention to how best to position your body and control the tool energy should be at the top of the mind for the newcomer until it becomes second nature. Watch the master craftsmen and then a novice and see the differences in positioning. As you progress compare the practices of different top crafts people and see which works best for you.
Great work Keith, brilliant seeing you breathe new life into an antique piece of kit.
Your knowledge and talent has done wonders for the preservation of this old capstan. I discovered your channel through the Tally Ho project and enjoy watching your work. I know the capstan has been shipped (real time) and you have finished successfully so Rock On with your retirement and I will continue to follow your channel.
Getting close to the end Keith and it is bitter sweet. This has been such an enjoyable series rebuilding the Tally Ho capstan which has had its unique series of challenges for sure. Amazing work Keith and thanks for sharing another great video.
A beautiful job , just looking forward to the final assembly, well done Keith, a master of the old School. God Bless You.
The capstan has been a challenge from disassembly to its completion and it has been a display of your skills. Let's hope the next video finalizes the project and there are no problems.
Love this project. Thanks for taking us along while you reconstructed another piece of history,
Thanks for allowing me to look over your shoulder, it has been a fun experience.
Beautiful work Keith ,you have every reason to be pleased and proud of it
Thank you Keith.I love your videos, and it great to see some hand grinding on this amazing project.
Getting towards the end of the capstan journey. Good Show.
Greetings from Poland
Phew another section done. I watched Tally Ho sail for the first time under sail today. Nice job on the Tally Ho thus far.
Nice to see the work shown in detail so that the average viewer understands how tedious manual machining actually is. Great work so far! I'll be curious to see what sort of coatings will be used to protect this beauty.
Well Keith what a journey Iv just loved watching a master craftsman. Better than any regular Tv by far. Can’t wait till it’s complete, but on the other had sad that it will be finished. I hope you carry on producing other projects? Good luck buddy that all goes well. Thanks again for the time you put in filming, editing etc. till the next instalment god bless Keith. Till next time 👏👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇸🇬🇧⚓️⛵️👍🏼
Excellent craftsmanship, I really enjoy watching this restoration of the Tally Ho capstan
Great work, Keith! Always enjoy watching a real craftsman at work. It's inspiring!! Thank you for sharing.
That is looking great! Alot of work has gone into that boat, nice to see it actually in the water now.
Can't wait to see this installed on Tally Ho!! Great work on the Capstan!!
This project is fun. I have been watching Tally Ho from the beginning. And this project involved so many u tube creators.
Superb! Can’t wait to see the reassembled capstan.
I guarantee that they are Whitworth threads, they were still used on some things right up to the late seventies as well as unc and unf, then we started using metric fine and metric course in the UK.
You are correct, Whitworth is 55 Degree. Also the peaks and valleys have a very small radius to them. I actually checked before you said anything and Whitworth 1/2 was 12TPI so it’s anybody’s guess. 5 degrees would be awfully hard to see with a thread gauge after all and as long as they thread in tight it should be just fine. Great work all around in this capstan, it’s been fun to watch!
your videos are just hypnotical, time flies and it is over too soon .
Thanks for sharing
It's really encouraging to see real craftsmanship!
Exciting to hear this amazing project so close to finished
We hope.
It was shipped out last week, videos sometimes lag reality.
Always fun to watch.
I have followed the Tally Ho project from the beginning. So glad you had a part in this. As always you are a master at what you do.
Nice Job! A glass of wine with you sir.
When I was the machinist for the new construction of a 60’ wooden schooner (all custom bronze castings) I made some metal chisels out of some high speed steel tool bits. I set them in some bronze 3/4” stock. They came in handy quite a few times.
Looking forward to the assembly and reveal!
Well done!!! I was expecting bronze bushings to support the inner axles of those crank-gears.
Well Done…. No really well done ! I can already see the ⚓️ anchor being Lowered and Raise and the sound this machine will make as it does it job over the next 150 years….⚓️⚓️⚓️
Great to see all the parts coming together. Looking forward to seeing the assembly.
Thanks for taking us along for this journey. This entire process has been fascinating!
Enjoy watching a craftsman at work. Keep it up.
Happy Monday Keith!😊
I have really enjoyed your series on the Capstan Project. Your skill and craftsmanship is impressive. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Keith , this is a great project .👍
Think I would put a SS zerk fitting where the oil hole is, otherwise salt water can get directly to the shaft which is steel.
Water ingress was my concern too, especially with the dished out shape it will be like a funnel.
So excited to see it go back together. Amazing expertise to do this challenging job!
I watched the boat being built and the Capstan being built! Great job on the machining!
Wow, you're older than I am. I had to settle for the rebuilds. 😀
@@billspear7702 Will you are building again!
I dont know what ill do with my life once tally ho is finished!
Watch Leo go sail Tally-Ho,
Very fitting to use Anchorlube on a capstan! 😁
As a machinist of 30 I've really enjoyed seeing your approach to this project. Thanks.
Well done, sir. Your craftsmanship is outstanding and your videos are informative and interesting. Thanks for sharing with us.
I can't believe how anxious I was watching you work on a piece that wasn't mounted solidly to a work surface.
You are a true craftsman. A professional at the pinnacle of your craft.
Almost finished, and two years early!
😊
#TallyHo
Radius the brass corners?
I'm gonna miss this project when you finish it.
Thanks again for helping Leo. You have similar work ethics.
Thank you for sharing.👍
If Leo had to pay retail for everything on that project, it would have taken two lifetimes to pay off.
But she’s a beautiful boat. Keith, you all deserve a ride.
Wonderful work Keith. You are a master communicator in addition.
Look forward to seeing the capstan fully assembled. Thanks Keith for your contribution to the Tally Ho restoration. Bronson, Austin, Tx
