I've had a very unproductive day so far... had to drive across town for a class only to realize it was cancelled, then stopped for breakfast and had to wait forever to get a breakfast burrito; I was depressed because I have to go to work in an hour and thought I had blown my whole saturday; but at least now I have a fresh Tally Ho video to get my mind right.
Its_An_ Advocardo Might be? You can be certain it will be. Originally it was just another boat built by a yard, not a custom project directed by an extremely knowledgeable shipwright who is also the owner.
OK, you're all getting more experienced and versatile as the project continues (Rowan is WELDING now?!?), but can we talk about Pete's public speaking / presenting skills? His early WHATCHADOINPETE segments, he definitely wasn't loving being on camera. Watching him at @4:51 on this video, I'm so impressed at how confident and composed he is now. He's relaxed enough to explain some of the very nuanced, tricky work he does in ways that us non-shipwrights can follow along and appreciate his skill. Love it.
Yeah I concur, Pete's a natural and engaging presenter / explainer / entertainer. Always was I guess, but now is more confident...or maybe he just hated being distracted from his work but now accepts it's just part of the process!
Loved the pat on the old keel. A beautiful acknowledgement of good workmanship from yesteryear. 100 years from now someone will be watching this trying to comprehend your "ye olde English" and be rebuilding her again saying "WTF was grandad saying?" With a much more full and comprehensive set of instructions than you ever had. The in between voyages will be awesome I'm sure. You left your mark on history with the folk boat Atlantic crossing and as a grand finale, this final nail in the coffin of awesomeness.
It is amazing how Pete has become so comfortable with being on camera. His explanation of the work he is doing on the mast partners (4:51) is so clear, and he is so relaxed. Wonderful.
Rowan TIG welding, wow! Watched so many of these, I can't recall if he had ever revealed that skill in earlier videos or not. That bronze bracket looked terrific!
Still by far the best channel on TH-cam! Leo is a top notch person and I’m very happy he has the quality help that he has. Very good group of people over there.
It's amazing to watch how Pete has progressed from being uncomfortable in front of the camera to being able to clearly convey what he's doing, how he's doing it, and why. I think I'd love watching him host a show about boatbuilding now. Way to go Pete!
Love Rowan, he is just naturally funny and fun, his skills are also largely underated, he is like a sponge learning every day and making himself more and more useful. What a great friend and coworker to have. Being a home builder and historic restorer I have had the pleasure of working with a few people like Rowan, they make the day go quicker, and lessen your overall stress levels. Nice job guys you are all awesome!!
I will bet that the grumpy neighbor at the old location had a conniption fit when leo and crew suddenly began chainsawing and running loud motorized equipment again... too bad. Great update Leo and crew, glad the wood transport issue is solved and to hear of your plans for decking. Nice transom!
@@jakeeasterwood3204 And a few evidently still allow burn piles - with seasonal restrictions, I suspect. In the middle of the last century, I remember burning piles of raked leaves on the street in our Boston suburb (Brookline).
Another outstanding segment of rebuilding Tallo Ho form Leo and the Sampson Boat Co team. So cool that you showed footage of your earlier pledge to get everything cleaned up and Raul and Darlene's' place. You sir are a man of integrity and honor. Nice to see Pancho again as well. Great progress on the build and thanks for sharing!
Tiny little note; the festool ETS EC sander Rowan was using in the first part of this video does not have an integrated blower and relies on active dust collection to expel the fine sanding dust. from personal experience operating it too long without DC can cause you issues. Worth popping the pad off and getting in there with some compressed air, you'll get a much longer life outta it! Spectacular project, obviously, congrats on how far she's come just in the last couple months.
I really hope everyone that has poured sweat into this project is able to sign their names inside the boat somewhere and maybe have it routed or carved in permanently. Just an idea & fitting touch/detail for future caretakers. 🤙
What’s continually reinforced on these videos, and appreciated by anyone who’s attuned to turning wood into sawdust, is the quality of the woodworking, the skill and craftsmanship. The bulkheads, the transom, the deck beams and carlins, the details…😳
Seeing a boat such as this shows how much timber is needed. So knowing that the boat may last 100 years makes all the effort and expense so worth while, particularly when all the work looks so pucker.
Another great episode, thank you. I was in Falmouth for the International Sea Shanty festival which coincides with the Classic Boat Regatta, and around 6 or 7 years I noticed a young lad in a wooden folk boat which had the cockpit filled in. He was expertly sailing between moored yachts in the harbour with what looked like 8 friends on board. He sailed up to the pier, deposited his crew and calmly sailed off singled handed. It was a joy to watch so I called over the rest of our shanty crew, who are all sailors, to watch. Couldn’t have been you Leo, could it? PS we are the Wellington Wailers from Shoreham by Sea and most of us are members of the Sussex Yacht Club which stands on the grounds of Stows Yard. Coincidence or what? Regards Ian
It's nice to see Rowan putting in the effort to round the corners on that bronze. Other "shipbuilders" on YT don't seem to realize the hazards sharp edges pose, especially in a sea-going vessel.
That's a lot of wood. Looks like enough to build another boat when Tally Ho is finished. The original keel is a thing of beauty. ...and beautiful work welding that bracket Rowan...WOW!
109 Episodes and I've enjoyed every single one. I am beginning to dread the completion of Tally Ho! I'm sure I will enjoy following your exploits on the open seas with her, but I will miss the craftsmanship and comradery of this crew. I can only hope that Leo stumbles across another piece of history crying out for a second chance on the seas that compels him to do this again. Although I'm sure it won't be for quite some time.
So true James! I get heart sick thinking of the day I will no longer get to participate in this tremendous project--even though it is only from my living room. I do want to watch her sail, but I also want to follow all the people who let us get to know them. They are family now. How will I ever say goodbye to them all?
Big Ups! To whomever came through by actually buying the Dinghy, and all those others here that made smaller but equally significant donations. Tally Ho will forever be a representation of the power of good in what can be an ordinary world. So Thank You. Inspiring on so many levels and facets. 👍🙏
I hadn't even noticed that! The timing on that whole sequence is pretty impressive (now I'm watching properly!) - these videos must take hours to edit.
I played the clarinet for years in high school, though never well-and though it can’t actually be the case this is the first time I heard it featured prominently in one of Leo’s videos. Awesome piece and why can’t I double thumbs up this video because?
It's awesome to see this craft being shown and exploited for everyone to see. You have been a great ambassador for skilled trades and a craft that may have never been thought of by some to pursue as a career. Keep up the great work Leo and thank you very much for taking the duties of a teacher to share what you do and the others you work with and companies such as the foundry and sawmill with now the world.
Just want to let you know that I really enjoy supporting this project (I am a Patreon). I really think it is worth it in so many ways. I hope my children will do the same for similar projects in the future.
Mast head lovely, I enjoy this work, Pete is now a movie star, and Tally-Ho has passed a milestone into phase 2. So great to see you all moving forward.
It’s so impressive to see how far everyone’s wood working skills have developed… Leo was always a beast and a tool god, but it’s now so amazing to see all the apprentice level carpenters with some serious skill and expertise under their belt now… it’s really true that a couple hundred hours of woodworking can rally bring out the expert woodworker in everyone who puts the time in. Cheers Leo and best of luck and continued success with such a beautiful project!
@@littlelifters7543 to get your pilots license it’s only 30 hours (I think, it used to be 26). And for “light sport aircrafts,,” you need nothing but a drivers license… crazy right? To think about the time it takes to get certain skills and what not…
Rowan is so cheerful and playful and quietly getting on with the job whatever it may be that it does my old heart good to see him. It makes me realize there are wonderful wonderful men out there, though I think they are all hiding out in craft workshops all over the world.
My grandfather would adored this channel. Such fond memories with him of riding the wake of big vessels in his small boat when I was young. Good times.
I was pretty amazed at the first Tally Ho video and you still amaze me! The attention to detail, the skill and craftsmanship and the team ethic .... Long may it continue .. ;)
Wow lots of important work completed in this video. Awesome octagon cut through the mast partner, nice hand work. Bulkheads look fantastic. Can't wait to see the deck being installed.
This is a mighty effort you're achieving here mate, you and your team are killing this build, you're definitely on the home run. It would be an amazing feeling to literally know every part of your own sail boat, I can't imagine the satisfaction of achieving this dream and then sailing her around the world. I hope you get down to the Tasmanian Wooden Boat Festival here in Australia one year, I reckon you'd be a huge chance of taking out some awards there
Tally Ho videos are always a highlight! It's so wonderful to be able to follow the build and the amazing people on the team and their contributions. I also really enjoy the glimpses of PT Harbour itself. Some stunning boats there! Thanks, Leo, for brightening this old landlocked boat lover's life. I am going to have to save up some of my fortnightly pension, meagre as it is, to contribute financially one of these days. All the best!
Mate, I don’t know how many 100’s of people I “bored” with the stories of this rebuild over the years 🤣; and again, I will go to work tomorrow, and I will strike a total random conversation with someone (who didn’t know they were ever interested in) about wooden boat building and the things you achieved so far. Thank you so much for inspiring my life and the life of people I “bore” with your story 😆🙌
Watching these episodes really makes me appreciate the extraordinary skills and difficulties shipbuilders had building tall ships without the benefit of modern tools in the past.
@@donanders2110 Still. You know it had to be a lot of hard labor just to keep them maintained even after they were built. That is just as incredible as how they were built. I’d really like to see someone take on a project to build a tall ship from scratch using only old world tools and resources available during that time period. I really doubt that it could be replicated today.
That was the fastest 26 minutes I've had in long time. The build is fantastic! I like that you let your workers explain their activities and it's obvious they are more comfortable with their onscreen presence. Great job guys & lady.
Hi Sampson Boat Co. I really love the way a sailing ship carves its way through the rough seas, could it be that my predecessor was a sailor? I often watch sailing videos to feel excited and uplifted. I think it is because the basis of human being is really in the sea.
Leo, I’ve said it before but, these videos are some of the most “enriching” time I seem to spend on the internet. This is an amazing project and I’m constantly impressed with the skills your entire team shows with every phase! Your choice of music is also refreshing! Thanks you so very much for sharing this journey!
I have to say that the images in all your video are quite superb! Always in focus unless it's in a shallow depth of field, details are never blown out or lost in shadow but mostly a rich level of contrast and your colour grading is delicious but never over saturated! Composition is considered and often very much a part of the images power. Some of the art shots are extremely beautiful and evocative. I can see why you spend so much time editing and you know most people don't know exactly what they are seeing but it makes a huge difference. Many say the image is less important than the story but I would say they are equally important. For me a bland image is a complete distraction, I have trouble engaging with the story but if the image is rich and on point it makes me feel like I want to be in the story... Just my 5 cents worth Leo :) Very sad to bid goodbye to Elizabeth II, I will miss her greatly.
I have a bit of involvement with one of the oldest water mills in GB. It was built in 1812 to supply flour to the British Army, fighting Napoleon. There are a lot of reclaimed ship's timbers used in its construction. That means they must be well in excess of 210 years old. Makes what Leo is doing history in the making.
Crabble, presumably. Great thing to be involved with. It's a very long way from being one of the oldest, though, with one or two 12th century mills still operating.
She is starting to look like a boat again Leo….. :) Great work from you and the guys working on her, we love to watch the progress each episode, keep up the great work. Jack n Steve .. 🐶😎
My wife's sister lives in Kingston so I took the opportunity today (Saturday) to visit Talley Ho. Leo wasn't there but Pete was there hanging new LED lights in the boat shop. Pete was gracious and gave me a quick tour. Its easy to see the quality of the construction from the videos but you really have to see her in person to truly appreciate the craftsmanship that is going in her. She is amazing. And Leo, you have a new Patreon subscriber.
Donald J. There is an aesthetic item that I have been mulling over which I would like to suggest for your consideration. Your transom, comings and cover boards will be teak. It seems to me that a teak hull plank from stern to stem would tie all the teak parts together and would add a lot of class to the boat. I think the easiest way to do this would be to put the teak plank over the top plank. Cheers, Don
Thanks for posting and sharing. So good to hear that you are able to get the wood from Canada thanks to someone's assistance. The mast partner looks great. The bulkheads all look very neat and tidily executed. Kudos to Richard and all involved with that aspect of the project. Best wishes to all the crew involved at the shop in Port Townsend.
8:20 You know, you could take all the offcuts and other unusable small bits of the original Tally Ho wood, put it through a CNC and make some souveniers you could sell, coasters, maybe profiles of Tally Ho, small signs, cutting boards, etc. Then you could auction those off on ebay or set up a shop where you could sell those and that could raise extra funds. I'm sure there are a lot of the 378 thousand subscribers who would love to own an actual bit of the original wood from Tally Ho. Plus you would know that it's not going to waste.
Kudos to you, Leo, for what you have done with your team. As others have mentioned, Pete's on camera presence has improved tremendously but ROWAN! Seems like Rowan was cleaning crud off of parts and "holding the other end of the board" when he first arrived and now he's working independently using a plane, building tools and TIG welding! He's gotten pretty good on camera, too. It's a credit to all of you to be willing to teach and to be willing to learn. That is as impressive as the boat build!
You should make souvenirs out of your spare wood. Medallions of wood with Tally Ho branded into the wood 🪵 saying this the wood the boat is made from 😀👌 I’m sure your followers would love to pay and help support your ship this way
HI, I am Leo... Boatbuilder, Sailor, and a Movie Producer.. epic work on all fronts... boat is amazing and footage is great, thanks for continuing to share this journey!
I've been loving the show and look forward to every new video. You and your entire crew have been doing a tremendous job of showing how and why things are being done, and make it look easy - the hallmark of true craftspersons. Thank you!
Good on ya, viewers and supporters, for helping out on the dingy and helping Leo out of that jam the "back out bidder" left him in. I love this community. The transom finally looks proper in scale, nicely done, crew.
Good episode. There's a flow of good karma around you and Tally ho! I believe everything you try to do, you will achieve a top notch result. Well done!
Rowan really has become a can do guy. Well done matey.
I've had a very unproductive day so far... had to drive across town for a class only to realize it was cancelled, then stopped for breakfast and had to wait forever to get a breakfast burrito; I was depressed because I have to go to work in an hour and thought I had blown my whole saturday; but at least now I have a fresh Tally Ho video to get my mind right.
Everything about this project screams "quality"!
High quality workmanship, with high quality materials produces the highest quality results possible !
might even end up being even better than when tally ho was first made
@@Its_an_advocardo It's a classic in the making for sure !

It's crazy how excited I get to see a new episode. The hype is real!
Best show on ANY media. This is what discovery and history channels should be showing. Not dramatized b.s.
Dont believe the hype is a sequel
@@captaintoyota3171 100% agree! They are just about making something suspenseful nowadays.
@@kamencic The suspense here is watching the Tally Ho being resurrected and the imagination of seeing her sail of into the sunset once more.
@@jakeeasterwood3204 it's not suspense, nor should it be. It's pure pleasure.

What a great friend and coworker to have. Being a home builder and historic restorer I have had the pleasure of working with a few people like Rowan, they make the day go quicker, and lessen your overall stress levels. Nice job guys you are all awesome!!
I feel you could give Rowan the crappiest job and he would do it with a smile and a positive attitude, such a positive person.
I will bet that the grumpy neighbor at the old location had a conniption fit when leo and crew suddenly began chainsawing and running loud motorized equipment again... too bad. Great update Leo and crew, glad the wood transport issue is solved and to hear of your plans for decking. Nice transom!
I am surprised that the open wood fire and smoke didn't bring out some town officer.
I loved seeing the huge fire!!!
@@pauleohl I think most states require a burn permit issued by the forestry department or some agency to do that.
@@jakeeasterwood3204 We'll just have to club together to pay for Leo's bail.
@@jakeeasterwood3204 And a few evidently still allow burn piles - with seasonal restrictions, I suspect. In the middle of the last century, I remember burning piles of raked leaves on the street in our Boston suburb (Brookline).

This so needs to get confirmed or not by Leo!
This channel rules, The craftsmanship and artistry in that boat is amazing, best part is that Tally Ho will still be around in 100 years from now
It's nice to see Rowan putting in the effort to round the corners on that bronze. Other "shipbuilders" on YT don't seem to realize the hazards sharp edges pose, especially in a sea-going vessel.
Yep if I had a £ for every time I've gashed my head open while down the engine, fish or rudder room, I'd have a couple o quid 😂👍✌
As someone who’s caught his head on an overhead beam a time or two - agree on this 😖
That's a lot of wood. Looks like enough to build another boat when Tally Ho is finished.
The original keel is a thing of beauty.
...and beautiful work welding that bracket Rowan...WOW!

Hey Leo. The alternate timber for Teak is Huon Pine from Tasmania. It never rots, and is immune to borers.
OK, cool! But how available? Priced better?
The only thing more amazing than the work and production quality is the quality of the comments here

That was the fastest 26 minutes I've had in long time. The build is fantastic! I like that you let your workers explain their activities and it's obvious they are more comfortable with their onscreen presence. Great job guys & lady.
A bunch of young people with the right stuff. Great!
Congratulations on the progress with Tally Ho, selling the dingy, and finishing off the work at Quim.
Hi Sampson Boat Co.
I really love the way a sailing ship carves its way through the rough seas, could it be that my predecessor was a sailor? I often watch sailing videos to feel excited and uplifted. I think it is because the basis of human being is really in the sea.
Leo, I’ve said it before but, these videos are some of the most “enriching” time I seem to spend on the internet. This is an amazing project and I’m constantly impressed with the skills your entire team shows with every phase! Your choice of music is also refreshing! Thanks you so very much for sharing this journey!
When Pete was first put on camera he was very uncomfortable, now he has settled into it well and it's showing his depth of knowledge.
I have to say that the images in all your video are quite superb! Always in focus unless it's in a shallow depth of field, details are never blown out or lost in shadow but mostly a rich level of contrast and your colour grading is delicious but never over saturated! Composition is considered and often very much a part of the images power. Some of the art shots are extremely beautiful and evocative.
I can see why you spend so much time editing and you know most people don't know exactly what they are seeing but it makes a huge difference. Many say the image is less important than the story but I would say they are equally important. For me a bland image is a complete distraction, I have trouble engaging with the story but if the image is rich and on point it makes me feel like I want to be in the story... Just my 5 cents worth Leo :)
Very sad to bid goodbye to Elizabeth II, I will miss her greatly.
I wish there was a web cam in the shop overlooking Tally Ho. It would be great to see what's going on from time to time....
Pete is getting better and better on camera.
bewildering at first...but watching the boat come together...very satisfying....
The bronze bulkhead bracket looks amazing.
I have a bit of involvement with one of the oldest water mills in GB. It was built in 1812 to supply flour to the British Army, fighting Napoleon. There are a lot of reclaimed ship's timbers used in its construction. That means they must be well in excess of 210 years old. Makes what Leo is doing history in the making.
Crabble, presumably. Great thing to be involved with. It's a very long way from being one of the oldest, though, with one or two 12th century mills still operating.
I am bursting to find out how you are going to do the lead keel. Meanwhile the woodworking amazes me how neat it all is.
Fantastic craftsmanship. Cheers to the efforts of the boatbuilders
Brilliant film as always, i found the musical section at 12mins super nice, and that hammer strike! (12:20)
She is starting to look like a boat again Leo….. :)
Great work from you and the guys working on her, we love to watch the progress each episode, keep up the great work.
Jack n Steve .. 🐶😎
My wife's sister lives in Kingston so I took the opportunity today (Saturday) to visit Talley Ho. Leo wasn't there but Pete was there hanging new LED lights in the boat shop. Pete was gracious and gave me a quick tour. Its easy to see the quality of the construction from the videos but you really have to see her in person to truly appreciate the craftsmanship that is going in her. She is amazing. And Leo, you have a new Patreon subscriber.

There is an aesthetic item that I have been mulling over which I would like to suggest for your consideration. Your transom, comings and cover boards will be teak. It seems to me that a teak hull plank from stern to stem would tie all the teak parts together and would add a lot of class to the boat. I think the easiest way to do this would be to put the teak plank over the top plank.
Cheers, Don
Youse guys is havin' all th' fun!
Thanks for posting and sharing. So good to hear that you are able to get the wood from Canada thanks to someone's assistance. The mast partner looks great. The bulkheads all look very neat and tidily executed. Kudos to Richard and all involved with that aspect of the project. Best wishes to all the crew involved at the shop in Port Townsend.
This is the best series EVER
8:20 You know, you could take all the offcuts and other unusable small bits of the original Tally Ho wood, put it through a CNC and make some souveniers you could sell, coasters, maybe profiles of Tally Ho, small signs, cutting boards, etc. Then you could auction those off on ebay or set up a shop where you could sell those and that could raise extra funds. I'm sure there are a lot of the 378 thousand subscribers who would love to own an actual bit of the original wood from Tally Ho. Plus you would know that it's not going to waste.
Nothing is more exciting. Always look forward to it.
The boat is wood mostly - but you guys provide it the humanity that gives it a soul. Fair winds to you all.
Kudos to you, Leo, for what you have done with your team. As others have mentioned, Pete's on camera presence has improved tremendously but ROWAN! Seems like Rowan was cleaning crud off of parts and "holding the other end of the board" when he first arrived and now he's working independently using a plane, building tools and TIG welding! He's gotten pretty good on camera, too. It's a credit to all of you to be willing to teach and to be willing to learn. That is as impressive as the boat build!
15:27 I love this guy. I haven't been watching long enough to know all their names, but he just brings a smile to my face!
Love your "B" roll shots!
You should make souvenirs out of your spare wood. Medallions of wood with Tally Ho branded into the wood 🪵 saying this the wood the boat is made from 😀👌 I’m sure your followers would love to pay and help support your ship this way
It's what they did when the the Bluenose was rebuilt...
Thank you for taking the time to make an edit these videos Leo :-) happy to watch each and every episode. Keep up the incredible work!
She's looking extremely beautiful. Your carefully considered craftsmanship is a delight to behold. Can't wait to see her adorning the high seas.
Ditto the last comment! Great teamwork, excellent craftmanship!
I can really see the light at the end of the tunnel Leo!!!
But I know, I know. Another 2 years!!🤣💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👍🏻
Love the variety of tools. From a Leigh Nielsen rabbeting jack plane to a chain saw! Series set of skills.
HI, I am Leo... Boatbuilder, Sailor, and a Movie Producer.. epic work on all fronts... boat is amazing and footage is great, thanks for continuing to share this journey!
Nice :Warm greetings from Germany
you're all good, keep it up, I like to listen
Can't wait for the mast to be fitted in, and the rudder / helm gear as well. Fascinating job Guys.
Rowan makes my day so much brighter
I've been loving the show and look forward to every new video. You and your entire crew have been doing a tremendous job of showing how and why things are being done, and make it look easy - the hallmark of true craftspersons. Thank you!
Terrific progress, Leo and team Tally Ho! Also so glad to hear about the sale of the dinghy.
Good on ya, viewers and supporters, for helping out on the dingy and helping Leo out of that jam the "back out bidder" left him in. I love this community.
The transom finally looks proper in scale, nicely done, crew.
Good episode. There's a flow of good karma around you and Tally ho! I believe everything you try to do, you will achieve a top notch result. Well done!
Rowan really has grown into a very skilled craftsman!
I posted this before I got to the wrench bit LOL
The lighting in the workshop looks really cool
Boat builders problem solving skills are just amazing. Wooden boat!
All is right in the world. Got to see Tally Ho and Poncho. My week is complete. Thanks!
