In my humble opinion, Leo Sampson's restoration of Tally Ho is amongst the finest channel currently on TH-cam. That is, if you enjoy watching someone with incredible woodworking, design and drafting skills and expertise, who is so understated in the description of his work. I can't wait to watch this project progress to launch. Oh, and yes I'm a big fan! Thank you for your coverage of this amazing project.
His channel and project are indeed some of the best content on YT. I have no real interest in boats, sailing or woodwork, but like the car restoration stuff I normally follow, it's often more about the skill, sacrifice and dedication to doing something exceptionally well that stands out and can make it compulsive viewing, even on a subject I have no knowledge and in-depth interest in. Well done for being one of the helpers on this project.
100% true Christopher. Leo is on a mission and he one talented dude. His legacy will be felt 80 to 100 years from now. Really enjoy his vids and I would help but health stops me. Its so refreshing to watch Tally Ho, humble/worthy compared to some other sailing channels where the level of self entitlement is sometimes so nauseating it turns me off.
@@Leosarebetter well said, Leo really has a great channel and it is underrated. Between the project,his skills and the vision to make it entertaining at the same time is a TH-cam trifecta. I'm recovering from getting hit by a drunk driver so I rarely contemplate donations via patreon. I'd love to but I'm in a situation where the best I'm able to do is let the advertisements play. But I had to rob my kids piggy bank to throw a few bucks towards Tally Ho. For once I felt it's a worthwhile project unlike the majority of fluff channels that come across like e-beggers most of the time( I don't mean your channel). I appreciate you doing the video with Leo,it was neat to see things from a different perspective and I too am amazed at the beast of a saw. So not only is he saving history, he's also preserving that great piece of machinery. Anyways that's enough of my scatter brained comments. But if you made it this far please build him a proper mallet for installing the treenails.
I have been watching the rebuilding of this wonderful vessel! Taking it apart piece by piece only to realize more work needed to be done. This is totally a journey of love! He's doing a very fine job! Thank you for sharing this James. I'm truly glad you were able to join in.
Another of my favorite cruising vlogs ,Ransailing, is in Seattle...trying to get them together for a visit. Ran has been cruising BC for awhile....the videos are really nice
I've been following Leo on Tally To since he purchased her. His weekly episodes have kept me looking forward for next weeks episode UNTIL I saw this video pop up in my recommended! It's a bonus episode!! Excellent commentary and visuals. Cheers!!
It is nice to see that you have gotten a taste for wooden boats as well. I am an apprentice in Sweden building and renovating wooden boats. It is the best job ever!
Leo is a very focused, driven guy. Yet has still has a lively personality and excellent communication skills. Pretty rare combination. Brilliant channel to watch even when I don't get some of the lofting calculations. Regardless, I find value in every video.
Excellent addition to Leo's list of videos! The whole project is amazing and Leo is an incredibly talented and knowledgeable individual. Those who've joined him to help bring Tally Ho back to life deserve much recognition as well.
This is fantastic - Leo is the cousin of my best mate, who introduced me to the channel, so it's great to see different corners of the woodworking community coming together. It's really quite a small world! I'm also rather jealous, as I'd love to go out there and take part!
Thanks from all the Tally Ho fans for giving Leo the massive benefit of your skill and labor on this project! I hope you end up with thousands of new subscribers, you got me!
I recently retired on disability and decided to get into wood working. I found Wood By Wright a couple months ago and the learning begain. I have learned a lot about wood working with hand tools. Thanks for the great information James. I am also addicted to the Tally Ho project. I just finished binge watching the videos. I learned about Tally Ho from another project, Acorn To Arabella. They are building a sailing vessel this size from scratch. They said to check out Leo's build to see the difference how the beams are built. They are steam bending the beams instead of cutting bevels.
I'm very jealous that you got to play with that ship saw!! When i saw it, i had to comment "i thought i owned a band saw, until i saw yours. Now i know i own the equivalent of a pocket knife!" 😂
Bathrobe Carpenter checkout HMS VICTORY which still survives in England. She she was built before the revolution and weighs over 3000 tons. All the shipsaws then were run on muscle power.
Good to see you James, I have followed Leo from the start and your extra insight was good fun. I am little too old and a little too far away to pop over and help but I really admire you guys who are able to help. I will now visit your site for the first time. Good luck guys.
Dave, what a thrill to see you get up to Leo's & Tally Ho. I bet it was a memory that was burned deep. The Tool Fair was a Bonus..lol..So many thanks for sharing your experience with Leo and friends on the Boat..Enjoy the moment for an eternity..Stay safe !!
I love it when my favorite channels cross paths. Such occurrences are common with in the same genera. But then occasionally are real crossover occurs. It is then that I know I am in the right place.
Back in those days, boys started working as young as ten years old as shipbuilding apprentices and they would be given the bulk of the tedious tasks like turning trenails, cutting wedges and a host of other repetitive tasks. Their only compensation was room and board and mistakes often resulted in a beating. It's easy to romanticize the old days of shipbuilding but the reality was it was a very tough and dangerous existence.
Excellent presentation and explanation it clearly indicates your professionalism in woodworking. Now as I discovered your channel I subscribed to it. Best wishes and regards from Berlin in Germany.
That is an incredible project he is building, I found his channel a few months ago and I am glad to see you helping. You should think about making a canoe or a kayak in your shop. I think that would be a great series.
Intresting seeing you working with power tools and on someone else's project. i bet Leo was very glad to have you around those days you could spare James...rr
I can't imagine what a new saw like that would cost, I bet that one is worth five grand or more, another ship builder gave it to him to use, I doubt they show up on Craigs list or ebay very often.
It's much easier to find another female than finding a ship saw, let alone another shipsaw. Same goes for sailing yachts worth the hassle to find a shipsaw for, by the way ...
That was interesting James. I bet that was fun for a day but a ton of work.sorry about your thumb. That looked painful. I first thought you were visiting the Acorn to Arabella boat builders. I've been watching them. Enjoyed the video. Thank you and God bless.
Hand tools are so my more satisfying! My wife and I bought 1904 dairy farm that has been very badly neglected for 50 years or so. We determined to use only tools to bring all 8 buildings (of the original 9) left standing using only tools available when it was built.
Watching the joinery techniques on this boat and comparing it to another that is relying heavily on metal fasteners confirms my thoughts. The driven and wedged pins are far superior to the bronze. Never seen a metal fastener on a boat that didn't work loose and fester the hull.
Am i correct, that cutting the TreeNail notch in alignment with the wood's grain will allow the peg to split, that cutting the notch across the wood's grain Prevents Splitting of the peg or slab of wood?
not that much the propensity for splitting is similer in both directions. the big reason is expansion and contraction. you want that to happen in line with the frame so that it does not split the frame in half.
Agreed, you do not want the frame's grain being split by orienting the wedge lengthwise in that direction and spreading apart the grain at that point. As a carpenter, i learned early on as a youth that dry wood splits along the grain and thus even pegs proved to be problems, too.
James, I think it would be called a scribered. You would use it for scribing lines in the wood. I saw a couple of them in one of your videos. They were on one of your benches. Thanks.
OMG! Notice the resemblance, the mannerisms, the unruffled cool demeanor, not to mention all the good-looking birds hanging about. The sunglasses were the coup de grace. It's all starting to add up. Leo hails from Bristol, England. Archibald Leech, better known today as the late Cary Grant, also from Bristol. Still have a bit of work to on the hair.
I've been watching his channel since day 1 and must say I understand a bit with woodwork but the lines he has done are impressive and the curving of the shipsaw still gets me. A hell of a lot of work involved and a lot of money as well but would be well worth it in the end. I can't wait to see the finished product. EDIT: forgot to add ... you missed the bird .. .how could you the bird makes his channel :P
well when I first heard you were going to use ceiling paint to try to stick the wood together I said to myself wow they were doing so good and then I just pictured water-based ceiling paint as a glue and then and I came back to Earth!
Holy crap,, he did a full lofting floor,,, and he has a proper old ship saw? who is this guy? Bravo,, though,, Jesus,, this boat gonna be 3 years of his life at least.
I would pretty much suspect this ship will accompany Leo for considerably longer than three to six years ... I readily admit I even reckon we might be honored with a glimpse towards a one-of-a-kind lifelong thingy here ...
I ain't never seen anything like this before,,, 'specially with something like an old pilot cutter,,, lots of these boats rotting all around the UK. I googled Leo after I left this comment,, the guy is obviously a super-star sailor and shipwright,,, but even with unlimited funds ( I know he doesn't have that) ,,, I don't know that I would have taken this on,,, and after binging on his Tally--Ho videos over the last day,,, I'm in utter awe,,,, other than the outer planks,,, there is nothing left of the original boat,,,, and really,, I honestly can't see him using the original planks after all the work he's done. But I'm of the opinion,, that even if he re-uses ONE original plank,,, it's still a 'restoration". Anyway,, we need more lunatics like this,, I just jumped on his patreon,,, I'll drop $50 a month to keep this nutcake following his dream and inspiring us,
@@jimc4731 I continue to be amazed by Leo and his volunteers. I realize at the end of this he will be left with boat worth $300K at least,,, I just hope he keeps the vlogs going on her voyages. I'm an atheist,, but god bless whoever is letting him use this workshop,, otherwise,, it ain't happening.
Wow... Even with a lot of repetition, I think this would be my dream vacation. So now I'm off to Sub to Tally Ho, to watch more. And my tip from this video... I'm gunna build the the planing sled, that would make a my life a whole lot easier when I flatten big slabs.
Leo needs your help (and expertise). Make some more vlogs with the Tally Ho theme. Please. I jst selected your vlog based on the Tally Ho title, not ever having seen your stuff before. Now...I have subscribed - with the bell, and am looking forward to many interesting projects and ideas. Thank you.
Live Oak is a type of tree. Similar to White Oak but a much more Wild Grain. It mostly just grows down south in Alabama and Georgia. it is called Live Oak because the leaves stay on it all year round.
southern live oak is a species of oak tree .. that lives from south georgia to texas.. and is an order of magnitude stronger than white oak. its called live because it does not lose its leaves for the winter.. only changing over its leaves during a two week period.. its green for 50 weeks of the year. Its the strongest and most rot resistant wood available for boat frames. Atleast in the US
@@WoodByWrightYou can always plan a New England ultra like to VT 100 and stop in to work with AtoA. Maine and Rhode Island have tons of wooden boat stuff going on too.
@Fabowski Kaboski: Leo discusses that matter ("Is the restored ship still the ship of Theseus?") in this video: th-cam.com/video/tW15VnkEmQ0/w-d-xo.html
Why not make a guard to facilitate knocking the wedges in so you don’t hit your fingers and frame James ? A piece of flat square wood less than the hight of the wedge, with a slot halfway through and then you can slide it round the wedge, then drive the wedge into the dowel hay presto fingers saved. There were two people who designed the the planer jig , Leo and a volunteer carpenter who had the idea originally .
I've been watching Leo for several months now and he does use a lot of hand tools as well. Also, check out Acorn to Arabella channel. They are building a large sail boat from scratch. (Plus they are a bit closer to you, I believe in PA.) They take all the help they can get and do quite a bit more hand tool work. (Though they too use a combination of hand and power tools.) I love it when two channels I enjoy get together for a video.
@Finbar Murphy: Leo is not always standing there with his hands in his pockets, making volunteers do the work and making the viewers pay for it: You can see for yourself on his youtube channel how much work he is actually doing on his own. th-cam.com/channels/g-_lYeV8hBnDSay7nmphUA.html
Well I've always wondered exactly the handle guy knew which way and how far to rotate the ship saw and I guess the info all comes from the lofting floor and the drawings
Here's a video of where he had the Live Oak milled: th-cam.com/video/pH37Dep0cvU/w-d-xo.html Here are some more videos of the mill cutting lumber for other ships as well: th-cam.com/users/CROSSAWGAvideos
there is a PBS show that covered some of the Yacht Coronet that used Trunnels or tree nails to hold the planks on.. coronet1885.com/ the inportant thing with trenails or trunnels.. is the saw cut that holds the plank on is 90 degrees rotated from the cut that holds it in the rib.. they also put them into blind holes.. bottoming out the trunnel which drove the wedge in to the rib end securing it tightly.. its covered in a few of the images on that page. but far better in the PBS video.. i just thought i would cover that.. i could see trunnels being used a lot in timber framing projects.
Oh come on. Live oak is basically white oak. and I did not use BLO but the ship will have around 40 Gallons of it in the wood when done. LOL and the ship saw is so old it can barely be considered a power tool.
I clicked because of the title. I was about to report this counterfeit to Leo... then I saw Leo in the video! ...my apologies, you may have possibly done a better job showcasing Leo's work, than Leo himself. 😁😁😁

So true. Really looking forward to helping him more and seeing it on the water some day.

Well done for being one of the helpers on this project.
Leo also from time to time works as bosun or sailing master on several classic yachts - look up Adix - a huge 200" gaff rigged schooner

he si doing amazing things. hoping to get out there again some time.
Its always nice when you're subscribed to two channels, and they unexpectedly make a collab video
My thoughts exactly! I didn't expect that!
I could not pass up an opportunity like this.
Ditto that. Def worth a subscription.
I'm really pleased that you didn't!
Another of my favorite cruising vlogs ,Ransailing, is in Seattle...trying to get them together for a visit. Ran has been cruising BC for awhile....the videos are really nice

Thanks Alex. It is such a sweet project!
It is nice to see that you have gotten a taste for wooden boats as well. I am an apprentice in Sweden building and renovating wooden boats. It is the best job ever!
Nice. I grew up near the water and they have a ways been a part of my story.
Leo is a very focused, driven guy. Yet has still has a lively personality and excellent communication skills. Pretty rare combination. Brilliant channel to watch even when I don't get some of the lofting calculations. Regardless, I find value in every video.
so true! he is a fantastic guy! and a lot of fun to work with!
We love Leo and his hard working mentality.
Such a great guy. Looking forward to getting back out there some time.
Leo's project is only possible through his solid will and talent. And a lot of friends!
A true labor of love.
Excellent addition to Leo's list of videos! The whole project is amazing and Leo is an incredibly talented and knowledgeable individual. Those who've joined him to help bring Tally Ho back to life deserve much recognition as well.
he is an amazing guy. I just wish I had more time when I was out there. looking forward tot he next trip I can go out and help him.
You're blessed to be able to visit such a project...looks like a blast!!!
oh ya!
Nice to see Leo and Tally-Ho from another angle, its a fantastic build!
It's always a good day when two of your favorite channels come together for a video

Big fan of Sampson Boat Company! Thanks for feature him.
thanks Steve. i am hoping to get out there again some time.
Love Leo's work hes doing on Tally Ho. Very professional. Amazing story
I'm very jealous that you got to play with that ship saw!! When i saw it, i had to comment "i thought i owned a band saw, until i saw yours. Now i know i own the equivalent of a pocket knife!" 😂
Can you imagine the man power it took to build that ship a hundred years ago? WOW! Thanks for sharing guys.
I know. Just mind blowing!
Bathrobe Carpenter checkout HMS VICTORY which still survives in England. She she was built before the revolution and weighs over 3000 tons. All the shipsaws then were run on muscle power.
I don't know watch Tim Severin's Brendon Voyage. Leather covered wicker frame genius of the Ancients.
Mmm or steam engines and line drives.
That is seriously mind blowing. Whole lot of work and dedication.
So true. It is a crazy labor of love!
Love watching the Tally Ho project, glad to see you stopped in to lend a helping hand!
So much fun. Looking forward to going back some time.
I totally agree with John!

thanks Barton. it was a ton of fun all around!
Yepeeeeee! So glad you got out there James! Great you two meeting up. cheers...rr
I've been following the Tally Ho Project from the start. Thanks for covering it, great to see it from another angle!
Such a fun project. Looking forward to helping again in the future!
I love it when my favorite channels cross paths. Such occurrences are common with in the same genera. But then occasionally are real crossover occurs. It is then that I know I am in the right place.
Loved the shipsaw. It really gives a perspective of the variety of tools for specific projects/jobs. Thanks for another great video
So true. There are so many specific tools to ships.
Wow! Thank you for sharing this. That bandsaw is amazing.
Thanks. It is a ton of fun!
Gives one a whole new respect for the shipwrights of old.
So true. Can you imagion doing that with hand tools?

Thanks man that means a lot.
Very interesting! Thanks James.
thanks Robert!
Love the dog photobomb!
LOL yup!
2 of my favorite channels doing what I love to do!
thanks man!
Tally Ho is sailing at this moment aroung Vancouver Island on a shakedown cruise.
I am hopping I get to see her again in 2 weeks.
Super project such ambition and Talent !
He is so the man for taking this one on.
The young kid is highly skilled hard worker.
So true. His work is phenomenal.
That ship saw is amazing.
Even better in person.
Loved your play by play ...I'm now a subscriber .
Thanks Mike that means a lot.
Nice video - How can that have a thumbs down, really! Enjoyed the explanation about constructing the frames.
Thanks Eric. It takes all kinds.
That is an incredible project he is building, I found his channel a few months ago and I am glad to see you helping. You should think about making a canoe or a kayak in your shop. I think that would be a great series.
A ceder strip boat is on my list for some day.
Wow fantastic stay with Leo! I want to see more collabs
I'm hoping to be out there again sometime. Love his work.
Wood By Wright that would be awesome, im subscribed to you now and notifications on, you have some fantastic work yourself
Thanks man that means a lot!
Intresting seeing you working with power tools and on someone else's project. i bet Leo was very glad to have you around those days you could spare James...rr
Watched you helping out on Leo's channel so appreciate seeing it from your prespective
thanks. Loved my time there. so much fun!
AMAZING!!! Still in awe!!! 💚💚
Such a fun play land!
Good explanations. Been following tally ho from the start...cheers.
Thanks. He is doing some amazing work!
I know you have a mallet making video but you should record making his. Always a joy to see your video notifications pop up. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Brian. I am planning on doing that.
that ship saw is awesome!
So true. even better in person!
That is one hell of a project he has there but wow it looks fun
Nicely done.
Thanks!
Now to find a project my wife wants where i need a ship saw..
Lol now that would be a find indead!
If she doesn't allow you to have one... tell her to leave. lol
I can't imagine what a new saw like that would cost, I bet that one is worth five grand or more, another ship builder gave it to him to use, I doubt they show up on Craigs list or ebay very often.
It's much easier to find another female than finding a ship saw, let alone another shipsaw.
Same goes for sailing yachts worth the hassle to find a shipsaw for, by the way ...
Leo is probably glad is not a strictly hand tools only project
Lol as am I. That would be a lot of work!
ziTA
You bet ...
That was interesting James. I bet that was fun for a day but a ton of work.sorry about your thumb. That looked painful. I first thought you were visiting the Acorn to Arabella boat builders. I've been watching them. Enjoyed the video. Thank you and God bless.
Thanks Ron. I would like to get out to there build some time too. It would be fun!
Hand tools are so my more satisfying! My wife and I bought 1904 dairy farm that has been very badly neglected for 50 years or so. We determined to use only tools to bring all 8 buildings (of the original 9) left standing using only tools available when it was built.
that sounds like a fantastic project!
very cool. and that ship saw.... makes me wonder if i can convert my tilt head craftsman bandsaw into one, haha.
Lol that sounds like fun.
That is incredible!!
it is even bigger in person!
This project is the perfect example of, "You can never have too many clamps." Look how many are used 9:15
LOL yup. Leo said he has bought out Harbor Freight 3 times now.
Watching the joinery techniques on this boat and comparing it to another that is relying heavily on metal fasteners confirms my thoughts. The driven and wedged pins are far superior to the bronze. Never seen a metal fastener on a boat that didn't work loose and fester the hull.

I am a subscriber of Leo's channel and now also of your channel after I watched this very well made video. :)
thank you! that means a lot!
Great overview of a great project. Thanks. How did the original builders perform the frame cutting (varying angles)?
100 years ago they would have used a ship saw like this. Before that they would just hand cut it and check for the angle every 6" to a foot.
That power planer is a really good idea, looks way faster than a router!
I don't know if it is faster, but it is a fun idea!
Check the latest vid from Leo for details on the planer jig.
Best thing is it's noob-proof.
Leo has a segment on the guy who made it in one of his last videos.
James,
Do you have a video on your wood makes. I would like to try and make one.
Thanks, I enjoy your show. It's very informative. Thanks.
rd
Thanks. but I am not sure what you are referring to whit wood makes. sorry
James,
I think it would be called a scribered. You would use it for scribing lines in the wood. I saw a couple of them in one of your videos. They were on one of your benches. Thanks.
How much do hidden doors cost?
OMG! Notice the resemblance, the mannerisms, the unruffled cool demeanor, not to mention all the good-looking birds hanging about. The sunglasses were the coup de grace. It's all starting to add up. Leo hails from Bristol, England. Archibald Leech, better known today as the late Cary Grant, also from Bristol. Still have a bit of work to on the hair.
LOL yes.
All the best people were born in ‘Brissel’
I've been watching his channel since day 1 and must say I understand a bit with woodwork but the lines he has done are impressive and the curving of the shipsaw still gets me. A hell of a lot of work involved and a lot of money as well but would be well worth it in the end. I can't wait to see the finished product.
EDIT: forgot to add ... you missed the bird .. .how could you the bird makes his channel :P
thanks!. LoL hes she only came out for a bit as it was too cold, by that time I had run out of batters for the camera.
Nice boat.
well when I first heard you were going to use ceiling paint to try to stick the wood together I said to myself wow they were doing so good and then I just pictured water-based ceiling paint as a glue and then and I came back to Earth!
LOL that would be fun!
How aren the frames attached to the keel ?
They will be morticed it. Then there is a yoke that connects the two sides and the keel
Massive project .!!!! Amazing !!!! You should do a minature of it !!!!!
Lol that would be a fun build!
Holy massive hunks of purple heart Bat Man! How was the live oak to work with? I've heard the grain can be pretty ornery.
It is not an easy wood at all but so gorgeous!
iirc $6500 worth of Purple Heart. But he paid more than that to get the Live Oak shipped from Georgia.
Came here via the Tally Ho project, and am interested in following your channel, too. Subscribed!
Thanks That means a lot. love what Leo Is doing!
Holy crap,, he did a full lofting floor,,, and he has a proper old ship saw? who is this guy? Bravo,, though,, Jesus,, this boat gonna be 3 years of his life at least.
I know right. And at least 3 years. It is a serious labor of love!
I would pretty much suspect this ship will accompany Leo for considerably longer than three to six years ... I readily admit I even reckon we might be honored with a glimpse towards a one-of-a-kind lifelong thingy here ...

Anyway,, we need more lunatics like this,, I just jumped on his patreon,,, I'll drop $50 a month to keep this nutcake following his dream and inspiring us,
@@jucklowe I think he will need $2,000,000.00 to finish! JIM
@@jimc4731 I continue to be amazed by Leo and his volunteers. I realize at the end of this he will be left with boat worth $300K at least,,, I just hope he keeps the vlogs going on her voyages. I'm an atheist,, but god bless whoever is letting him use this workshop,, otherwise,, it ain't happening.
Love that boat.
So much a labor of love!
Wow... Even with a lot of repetition, I think this would be my dream vacation. So now I'm off to Sub to Tally Ho, to watch more. And my tip from this video... I'm gunna build the the planing sled, that would make a my life a whole lot easier when I flatten big slabs.
So true Peter. It would be a really fun trip.
Leo needs your help (and expertise). Make some more vlogs with the Tally Ho theme. Please. I jst selected your vlog based on the Tally Ho title, not ever having seen your stuff before. Now...I have subscribed - with the bell, and am looking forward to many interesting projects and ideas. Thank you.
Thanks Dusty. I am hoping to be out there more in the future when I get the chance.
When I saw the Tally-Ho and not Leo's channel I thought someone was ripping him off. Glad to see that is not true.
Nice project, thanks for the video.
Question please! What do you mean by live oak?
Live Oak is a type of tree. Similar to White Oak but a much more Wild Grain. It mostly just grows down south in Alabama and Georgia. it is called Live Oak because the leaves stay on it all year round.
southern live oak is a species of oak tree .. that lives from south georgia to texas.. and is an order of magnitude stronger than white oak. its called live because it does not lose its leaves for the winter.. only changing over its leaves during a two week period.. its green for 50 weeks of the year. Its the strongest and most rot resistant wood available for boat frames. Atleast in the US
Nice !
thanks!
Would love to see you keep track of this project.
I hope to make it back some time and help out more!
Already watching both of your channels Haha
Acorn to Arabella is another must see they are building from keel up.
So true. Would love to get out there too.
@@WoodByWrightYou can always plan a New England ultra like to VT 100 and stop in to work with AtoA. Maine and Rhode Island have tons of wooden boat stuff going on too.
Thats kinda cool
Only kinda? Such a fun playground.
If you can you should go visit Acron to Arabella, great video!
I would love to get out there some time too. Love there channel.
If you replace all the boards on a ship, is it still the same ship?
When is a ship not the same ship anymore?
that is a debate that has been going on for thousands of years.
@Fabowski Kaboski: Leo discusses that matter ("Is the restored ship still the ship of Theseus?") in this video: th-cam.com/video/tW15VnkEmQ0/w-d-xo.html
Did you ever make him a better mallet? :)
I am working on it. I took home some of the live oak scraps and hope to make him two next week.
Wood By Wright dude that’s awesome. Also thanks for making quality content!
Be sure to post a video of you making the mallets...
Wood By Wright yes please make a mallet video with the live oak! I’d love to see what hand tools you’ll use on that stuff. Would be cool to see.
Why not make a guard to facilitate knocking the wedges in so you don’t hit your fingers and frame James ? A piece of flat square wood less than the hight of the wedge, with a slot halfway through and then you can slide it round the wedge, then drive the wedge into the dowel hay presto fingers saved. There were two people who designed the the planer jig , Leo and a volunteer carpenter who had the idea originally .
Need a lot of bandaids to complete this monster project.
LOL yup!
I've been watching Leo for several months now and he does use a lot of hand tools as well. Also, check out Acorn to Arabella channel. They are building a large sail boat from scratch. (Plus they are a bit closer to you, I believe in PA.) They take all the help they can get and do quite a bit more hand tool work. (Though they too use a combination of hand and power tools.)
I love it when two channels I enjoy get together for a video.
I also love AtoA loved watching that lead pored.
yep, i watch them too, and salt n tar, seeker, rusty junk, brupeg, etc. i love watching boats being built.
How fun is this?!
Way more then I can convay in a video!
Makes me laugh how dopey Leo is in other people’s videos hahaha
@Finbar Murphy: Leo is not always standing there with his hands in his pockets, making volunteers do the work and making the viewers pay for it: You can see for yourself on his youtube channel how much work he is actually doing on his own. th-cam.com/channels/g-_lYeV8hBnDSay7nmphUA.html
Just found this video - have you been back yet?
I have not yet been able to. The last two times I've gone out that way we haven't been able to make it work.
@@WoodByWright Thanks for replying.👍
more! more!
I hope to do so!
Well I've always wondered exactly the handle guy knew which way and how far to rotate the ship saw and I guess the info all comes from the lofting floor and the drawings
Yup. It is a complicated step but so cool to come together.
Here's a video of where he had the Live Oak milled: th-cam.com/video/pH37Dep0cvU/w-d-xo.html
Here are some more videos of the mill cutting lumber for other ships as well: th-cam.com/users/CROSSAWGAvideos
mind is blown
LOL I know. In so many ways!
so many
there is a PBS show that covered some of the Yacht Coronet that used Trunnels or tree nails to hold the planks on.. coronet1885.com/ the inportant thing with trenails or trunnels.. is the saw cut that holds the plank on is 90 degrees rotated from the cut that holds it in the rib.. they also put them into blind holes.. bottoming out the trunnel which drove the wedge in to the rib end securing it tightly.. its covered in a few of the images on that page. but far better in the PBS video.. i just thought i would cover that.. i could see trunnels being used a lot in timber framing projects.
Why did he use so much PurpleHeart in that lower part of the boat?
It is highly rot resistant very strong and Incredibly durable. Making it a very good choice of wood for the keel.
Two things... no make that three... 1) Power tools 2) no white oak and 3) no BLO. Aghast!!
Oh come on. Live oak is basically white oak. and I did not use BLO but the ship will have around 40 Gallons of it in the wood when done. LOL and the ship saw is so old it can barely be considered a power tool.
Four halves? Math checks out.
Two halves to a frame and two halves to each Half.
I clicked because of the title.
I was about to report this counterfeit to Leo... then I saw Leo in the video!
...my apologies, you may have possibly done a better job showcasing Leo's work, than Leo himself. 😁😁😁
Lol yup. We had a lot of fun together. Hoping to do it again some time.
