    Hi, his name is Leo and he's a boat builder and a sailor. A few years ago he bought a very old and quite famous wooden sailing boat for the price of $1 and since then he's been rebuilding that boat from the keel up with the help of a lot of amazing people. We've been following his journey on TH-cam ever since.

    It made me so happy to see Bob NOT lining up the screw slots! I work on classic wooden racing yachts and we always have to line up the screw slots perfectly but it really hurts me to be forced to choose whether to leave a screw either very slightly loose or over-tighten it thereby compromising the integrity of the connection or the timber the screw is threaded into just for aesthetic reasons

      That seems kind of crazy but if you gotta you gotta. I wonder if making a point of starting all the screws in the same alignment would help them end up in alignment. That is, if you start them all in say a vertical alignment, they might each stay more or less in alignment when you’re done tightening.

      I first met Leo and Tally Ho in 2018 I think it was. I have a Project Management work history. Someone asked me how long I thought it was going to take him to finish the project and my reply was it depends on how much help he is willing to accept because at that time he was running with volunteers. My outside estimates were 2 years with lots of help and 10 or more years if he did it mostly solo. Since his SM has taken off it provided a lot of resources that are financing the project the last several years. Had that not been the case, he wouldn't have been able to build to this standard. He says that at the end of every video.

Also I want to thank SurfShark for giving us another episode of the most beloved British Soap. Shall there be many more to come. Btw, the noodeling on that post was excellent.

    I think the best part of this whole story is how the desire to preserve and rebuild a sailing yacht has actually ended up being an education for those who volunteered, those who have been employed and those whose skills would be lost without these live projects taking place. If you add the educational element for those who are currently engaged in such a build, the sum is much greater that the original idea. That takes some doing! So, from an ex Royal Navy veteran, ‘fair winds and following seas’ to all the crew. W🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

    Well this... is a revelation.
    All this time, I'd been trying to do my "Noodling", and my "Figuring", sort of interchangeably. Like as if I were multitasking. Trying to do both things all at once.
    Being deliberate about progressing from one to the other, as two discretely separate steps, would help my planning & organization efforts dramatically. The end effect should be a major boost in productivity for me.
    Thank you so much for the advice.

    Looking back on roughly six years (!!!) of videos makes me realize there is more effort going into making these boat rebuilding videos than most people would put into rebuilding a boat. This boat rebuilding process is so consistently interesting and entertaining it takes a lot of the glory away from the vast volume of well made videos and all the work it must have taken to make them.
    TH-cam works with algorythms and I haven't had the time to watch all Leo's videos, so I just scrolled down on the list, opened every video and klicked the LIKE button.

    The natural forces that are harnessed by the sails to move about also work to tear the boat to bits.

In turn such things were critical to open the world for trade and cultural exchange. I'll never ever look at a wooden sailing ship the same again.

    Lignum vitae is gorgeous stuff and certainly one of the hardest/densest/heaviest commercial [sic] timbers, but there are quite a few weird (and scary!) woods around the world that only get used locally because their properties are too extreme for commercial use.
    When I lived in East Africa (Kenya) in the late '70s and '80s I was given an unidentified log. It had been in a friend's shed for around 60 years. Nobody knew what it was. 14" in diameter and 5' long, it took four people to shift it; it was as dense as brass. Struck with a hammer, the log actually rang.
    Under the dust it was a beautiful mottled milk-chocolate/dark-chocolate brown, sparkling with silica. It was like a blend of snakewood and wengé, but even more dense and harder than both. Scrapings and dust smelled of black pepper, and splinters from it turned septic overnight.
    My regular tools made barely a mark on it; it was fissile, but proved almost impossible to saw, plane and drill. Sort of like African Blackwood with attitude.
    I was a cabinetmaker (of sorts) back then, and couldn't think what to do with it. As material for woodworking it was (quite literally) useless.
    My friend said his late father had acquired it and thought it had come from somewhere in West Africa. That's all he knew. For over half a century it had lain in a shed, gathering dust and laughing at the beetles and termites, who couldn't do anything with it either.
    When I left Kenya I passed the log on to another woodworking pal, who put it in his timber store. It's probably still there to this day.

    I am in recovery mode after a recent surgery, "do nothing for 6 weeks or else" so what do you do? Go all the way back to the beginning of this project and binge watch every episode in order. In one of the earlier episodes after the centre line and frame timbers had been replaced Leo must have come in for some flack as to when does this boat lose its identity and history associated with it. Basically every part of the boat is being replaced with new material, so how can you say this object is still the original Tally Ho! Leo devoted half an episode trying to explain his view and why he believes she is still the same boat, it was deep! I agree with Leo, regardless of how much of this beautiful old lady is replaced, the way the rebuild has taken place ensures she remains the same boat.
    Think of it like this, when she arrived at Sequim sitting beside the work shop she took up space, she displaced the air around her. All Leo has done, is bit by bit one piece at a time, refilled that space as each piece was taken away and then replaced filling the void it had left. There is no doubt, given how this rebuild has been undertaken, she definitely remains the same boat! Well done mate, can't wait for the next episode, cheers.

    fabulous to see the love and skill going into this boat, the attention to detail and making joints such a tight and perfect fit, i cannot help but wonder if boats of this type were built to such a high quality back in the day, especially when you consider the differences in technology, the abundance of materials, while money might have still played its part, materials and labour i guess were much less - i would love to inspect an old boat and see if joints were as clean and how they have lasted - perhaps Leo might do a short film on that subject, that Sampson post is pretty special and the way it all connects to the boat, some very clever building again considering the history of boat building and how the stresses were worked out

  • @brucef

    Saltheart, Lignum Vitae has a deep history of various uses. It is rare. It just occurred to me that a suitable alternative might be Bois d’arc aka boardark, horse-apple, or Osage Orange. This wood is extremely durable. Native Americans made bows from it. Yesterday I harvested several large logs near a creek on my ranch. It should be noted this this wood’s dust can make one very sick if inhaled over a long period. Thought this wood might be handy to others. Rare but relatively easy to find online. Better yet. Find a horse-apple tree.

    It has been a leap of faith for Leo to take on this task. He knows he couldn't have done it without a team of skilled workers - and large sums of money from generous donors.
    And of course, he had no way of knowing he would get either.
    The entire project could so easily have ground to a halt and been shelved indefinitely.
    If I could ask Leo one question it would be, 'Has it always been your experience in life that people help you when you need it?''

    P.S. These videos are a beautiful juxtaposition of our micro-miniature electronics world > TH-cam! and sailing tech. The mere fact we may watch a wooden ship being built in the recent history older manner is wonderful. When I think of sailing tech being one of the pillars of technological development in civilization since it's coming. I wonder with positive fascination...What wonders may be before us in a world a 100, 500, 6000 years hence?
