Coming back two years later to rewatch this video is a good reminder of how many great volunteers have contributed to the restoration of Tally Ho. Makes me wonder where guys like Finn are now and what they’re up to in their careers.
I bet you are right. I have worked in boatyard 's over 45yrs. and seen all types of boats built from scratch to just small repair to major rebuilding. The time Leo spends on a single wood joint is something. If we spent that much time the customers would go crazy from the cost and time. Guess now his boat is now a new boat just following the lines of the original boat ? At this pace who knows when the boat will be done. Plus the overall costs will be close to a half a million. cheers :)
I don't about that, perhaps the 19th and early 20 th Century boat builders were just very careful but the standard of work on the wooden boats our family hand were just like the standard Leo is working too. There is always the old story of the three choices, you get fast,cheap,or quality,you can only pick two etc etc etc .
@@Mercmad , he's working to a half a millimeter. What boat builder does that back then or now? He's doing a great job but at this rate it will be years till she gets splashed. :)
@@DontCryAboutIt , ya your right seems it's very common for sailboat builds that you buy an old boat and start a PayPal account. Don't really see that in race, day cruiser, downeasters, fishing boats? He's doing a great job though and nice to see people giving him the money needed to build a new sailboat. cheers :)
I wish my father was still alive so I could direct him to your videos. He was a highly skilled carpenter/joiner, I imagine his pleasure watching your boatbuilding skills. Thanks for sharing your work. The quality is incomparable.
I mean, they’re mostly pushing around really *big* Timbers. Easier to stay x inches away from the blade when you’re doing 8 inch planks then half inch ones.
You are putting the Great back into Britain....! A Great British export!! Your videos , craftsmanship and attention to detail are awesome! We are all very proud of you!!!
Don’t have enough words to describe how much I enjoy your series. Best content on TH-cam. Craftsmanship, camaraderie, excellent soundtrack and Pancho. Please know that your love for the project is shared worldwide. Cheers!
Since I can hardly wait for each episode to drop, I don't know how the hell I missed this one, but I did. But I happened upon it and so watched it. It was like putting on an old pair of pants and discovering money in the pocket.
@DRT - Sorry, IMO you've got #3 and #4 in wrong order. Watch enough of Leo's videos and you'll learn you can like 'em before you watch 'em. I do that in order not to forget that important item. Most times I'll also leave a two word comment line as most channels seem to ask for that as well as the ol' ' thumbs up'. I don't know why but if it helps him I'm only to happy to oblige. Rgds
Hi Leo, Keep it up, this will make a great series on Net Flix or similar. Then the series of sailing her "Round the world". You have taken the brave step of being original. That bring more hard work and great reward.
This is turning into some star trek type of thing. People from all over the place coming together too build a 'vessel/ship/boat'. Not for money or profit. But too learn and share knowledge and experiance... for free, beeing that they are volunteers. Tally enterprise in the making 🖖.
Just casually rewatching entire series again. Started watching when he built the shed no subs. Leo is amazing guy living the life a lot of us wish we had.
Your craftsmanship work ethic and attention to detail are hard to find in a guy your age. Outstanding job. Always look forward to the next video. Thanks Pat
I completely agree, every section of joinery is constructed with care and consideration. To date this is the best craftsmanship I have seen in such a large scale. Great job guys!
I think they should build a twin at the same time, what with all the jigs and such , wouldn't take much longer. Incredible project ,quite amazing really . Share beats watching the gossip , oops meant news! Nice to see positivity . 🇨🇦
@@rayfletcher3683 I was thinking something alike, too, once he started lofting and resetting lines. Two sisterships would probably make the outfit and hardware considerably cheaper, too. And I mean considerably. You would have to have a customer to purchase her yachtbuilding-style (aka prepaying) though, and boatowners in that range of numbers usually are a mahussively difficult breed to say the least. I doubt Leo would be willing to deal with that even an hour, let alone through a slow build with volunteers.
Toms a perfect fit. A cabinet maker is what is needed to match the build tolerances so far. Note that Tom is from Brighton, the port for Brighton is Shoreham. Shoreham is where Tally Ho was built!!
I am kind of all over getting caught up. I had no idea you were doing so much by yourself. Having help with the hands that know how must be a great relief. What would we do without fixtures and jigs. They sure make the world turn a lot easier. How wonderful to have that big bandsaw right handy beside you. A real blessing for sure eh.
The attention to detail is just gorgeous to see. You really are an amazing craftsman Leo. Getting that Stern Post in was Epic. Good job. Your 100,000 subscribers plaque should be in the mail..... unless, of course, you have to make a request for it.
Music selection for this episode was exceptional. You are a master not only of boatbuilding, but of video storytelling as well. Aren’t these wonderful times we live in? Where anyone can take on a challenge like this, build a community of support and encouragement, and live out their dreams while we all follow along on a weekly show that is far more entertaining and meaningful than a sitcom or another police drama. I am a sucker for anything DIY, so I tolerate crappy vertical phone video, shaky handheld footage, and haphazard editing on many TH-cam videos that are still worth it for their content. What a joy it is to find videos like these that make you not just learn, but to feel as well. And these video’s existence means others will see them and be motivated to up the caliber of their presentation. “Make it like Leo would” is a worthy creator’s goal. Well done!
Ok Leo, Having entered this saga at Episode 43, then started back at the beginning, and binge-watched all the way through, it has become clear to me that new episodes are very much needed. Please crank out another 20 or so, forthwith, so I don't experience withdrawal symptoms... Cheers! DC
What an amazing project! The sheer size of the pieces of wood are truly unbelievable! The Precision work with these large pieces is amazing to a mere cabinet-maker such as myself.
It is amazing how you got your start in ship building and it is how you've introduced so many people to the trade... This is how the world should work in general... people helping people.
It makes an old craftsman like me, happy to see you young men doing master level work and seemingly loving it...I would love to work on sailboats but; I spent the last 3 plus decades on houses, churches and businesses...It must be awesome to work near a body of water...Cheers and health to you all...Like they say; "Love what you do and you'll never work a day in your life..."
Leo, your work on ole Tally Ho has been up to this point just amazing, and here you start into the mortise and tenon for the stern post and I cannot believe the craftsmanship and nautical artistic skills you continue to surprise us with, even with a damaged finger.
Ain't it marvellous how he attacks that nearly cast iron - hard purple heart with those nice lil' violin planes of his? That's dedication and craftsmanship to keep a yacht afloat and sailin'.
Wonderful camaraderie. "Build Team Tally Ho" There's something so satisfying, watching craftsmen use precisely sharpened chisels on such beautiful wood
Wish I could afford the time to come help, but as an American, we don't get vacations... Lol.... I love seeing all our friends the Brits over here helping though!!!
25-30 days of paid vacation is what we have here in Europe in most countries in most trades, industries and public sectors. That's an achievement of trades unions fighting for it. Many people don't know that it's the trade unions, though, and take it fir granted.
I've been bed ridden with migraines this week and done nothing that amounts to more than just sleeping and watching my cat stare out the window. I got the notification about your new video and was super excited for it. i got up and watched the whole thing despite all the brain pain. I absolutely love the content you post. Thank you for a bright spot in the week Leo.
I'm not looking foreward to see the end of this project, these videos are so calming! But It will né awesome if in the end of this project another one started!
So far this and last episode are best because we can watch lot of pieces put together which build the new parts of the boat, which I love. Also that jigs for making rods are wonderful. 👍
pangrac1 for sure. But I feel like folks need to watch from the beginning to really understand the emotional ups and downs that come with an undertaking of this magnitude.
I am in awe of the keel timber sternpost lofting and bronze. Of the razor sharp tooth to purple heart, each curl, as a master to (if I were present beyond video) disciple. the carpentry skill, the craft of long ages, long apprenticeship. A present mastery, of compartment of sail and seamanship at keel. I am humble at this discipline. A rigor not often seen in our world.
The lip on the keel seems like a perfect spot to bolt on a large steel spike. I believe future stories will be told of an infamous nine fingered pirate baying 'Tally Ho' as his vessel bares down on unsuspecting prey in the high seas - ramming speed! You've already got the parrot...
I am always amazed at the precision in fitting these huge timbers. Also the inginuity used to wrestle them into place. Your work is truly awe inspiring..
How can we have so many Englishmen about and not a cup of tea in sight?! Great work Leo, both the project and the videos! Keep'em coming. And keep those fingers safe!
Phenomenal. I found it especially enjoyable to watch the student quickly become the teacher! What an evolution! You’re really onto something here mate!
I admit to knowing nothing about boat building but I was surprised to see felt placed between the members of the stern assembly. I thought it would be glued into one homogeneous piece. Great video, fantastic story.
The only part that made me cringe was watching the guys' physical lifting technique. They're going to ruin their backs early that way. Clench your abs to rigidify your core, and then lift with your hips and the small of your back - please!
It’s been great watching a good tradesman working in his peak years. No problem seems insurmountable and the hard yards are made much easier. A wonderful effort guys.
Your expertise with a chisel is nothing short of poetic. I have used wood chisels from time to time, and understand now that my use of them was infantile. What you're doing with Tally Ho is amazing, and I wish you all the best.
Hi Leo, can’t wait for the next video, iv watched every clip from day one , absolutely awesome . Your skill and perfection is inspiring, a great example to the young guys who come to help.
I di not see the internet build this boat. I see basically Leo building it. Perhaps you can say: the boat many guys watched being built via the internet.
Leo, don't worry about the people in the comments wining about you getting TH-cam money and donations. I don't mind, your videos, craftsmanship, and content are awesome and captivating. I look forward to them coming in my feed and enjoy watching your project. I'm glad you get some sort of revenue from it. Keep up the good work.
Incredible workmanship. So much time and effort going into this build. It is so awesome you have documented this build so any future owners can see the time and effort going into this and have a respect for the dedication and honor the effort such a build deserves.
Your attention to detail and level of craftsmanship astounds me. It's definitely not the norm these days of a fast buck and just doing enough to get by. Cheers to your passing on a dying art and work ethic.
5 thousand views in the time it's taken me to watch it. Just awesome. These videos are great, so well put together, interesting, inspiring and educational. I'm no authority but I'd say the quality of the fit of these massive stern assembly pieces is verging into cabinet making territory!
I love this series. How is it possible to have so much knowledge at such a young age not to mention his skills as a trans Atlantic mariner. Watching them the dad in me says, "Do any of these kids have health insurance? " 😎
My, you have a good team there at the moment Leo. This is quite a stunning series. However, you do look at little drawn and weary at the start of this episode. Take a break Leo - don't burn out.
As always, your skill, patience, and attention to detail are absolutely inspiring! You've also got what appears to be a very good group of volunteers working with you, kudos to all!
I've only ever done one 'big' project in my life (building my late parents a house in Kenya). I'm not a natural-born man-manager or team leader, and I'm not much of a people-person either, so I found the task of delegating jobs and responsibility INCREDIBLY hard. Amongst other things I'm an ex cabinetmaker, so I have a tendency to fuss over the most minute of details in a project, and want to check EVERYTHING thrice. Needless to say, I work best alone. ;-) So, WELL DONE, LEO, in 'allowing yourself' to get your helpers and friends integrated into your project. I know (sort of) how difficult it is to leave a bunch of guys to get on with a job unsupervised - even skilled, talented, experienced, thoroughly competent ones like your chums are. It's a great feeling when you see that they've done a terrific job and you realise that you CAN trust people... (Sometimes!)
Cheers Tally Ho, shout out from SF bay from an old Boilermaker Iron Ship builder Portland shipyards Swan Island, Or. As a fabricator, from lofting prints, we snap chalk lines on the floor and fabricated pieces must fit within the chalk line. I understand the multi dimensional skill sets needed, but the labor of love mindset for the task at hand building a masterpiece creation of maritime history marine vessel
OK, I admit it. I'm addicted to boat building. I thought I had kicked the habit but, alas, I have failed!! I finally used the last bits of my Irish Felt a few years ago on a house repair. Love the stuff. Can't imagine how much it costs today. It wasn't cheap back in the 80's. The drive to PT was nice. I don't know how many times I've driven that. OK, have you stopped and eaten at Fat Smitty's yet? The place is a legend and the food is great!
Deep into the binge - five to ten episodes a day, strictly chronological. The story thus far: Leo, introverted autodidact loner polymath, learning the human heart is more obdurate and requires more finesse to manage than purple-wood. I will sleep tonight dreaming of frames. I miss Francesca's shy smile.
Coming back two years later to rewatch this video is a good reminder of how many great volunteers have contributed to the restoration of Tally Ho. Makes me wonder where guys like Finn are now and what they’re up to in their careers.

I watched this from about the beginning. Now I got my wife hooked because of the people aspect and she is learning about boat building.
The quality of the work is just ridiculous! I bet the original boat wasn't built this well! :D

Been doing a binge drop starting earlier this week. Truly love the intricate work with the planes.
Getting a rediculous amount of pleasure watching Tally ho get rebuilt. Gonna need a 12 step program to wean myself

So glad you explained the keel being off center with the stern post. I would be thinking about that for the next two weeks. Aloha
That trunnel/dowel making set of jigs is very impressive !

Awesome, Tally Ho is coming together nicely. Looks like you all have a good Crew to get it done correctly 👍
I did note it was off center. Glad you explained it! Love these videos!
I was only thinking of that basically the whole video...Also glad it was explained, so I can sleep tonight!

Nothing better than a team of friends
More videos please I grew up wood working with my grandpa helping him build about any thing we never built a boat though love what you do
Perfect Saturday morning, cup of tea and boat building with Leo and Co! I noticed the step in the stern timber but never doubted you for a second Leo!
Congratulatons on the 100K subscribers Leo, been following your channel since it was in the low thousands.
me too, no hash tag
Same here, im hoping this channel will get much bigger in the near future... My top 2 choice on youtube.
5 thousand views in the time it's taken me to watch it. Just awesome. These videos are great, so well put together, interesting, inspiring and educational. I'm no authority but I'd say the quality of the fit of these massive stern assembly pieces is verging into cabinet making territory!
Love waking up to new video. Shared. My father apparently watches this now.
I love this series. How is it possible to have so much knowledge at such a young age not to mention his skills as a trans Atlantic mariner. Watching them the dad in me says, "Do any of these kids have health insurance? " 😎
My, you have a good team there at the moment Leo. This is quite a stunning series. However, you do look at little drawn and weary at the start of this episode. Take a break Leo - don't burn out.
Un bonjour de LLN à Arnaud de l'UCL.
Proud to see a compatriot helping Leo !
As always, your skill, patience, and attention to detail are absolutely inspiring! You've also got what appears to be a very good group of volunteers working with you, kudos to all!
Nooooo! Don't end we want more.👍
I've only ever done one 'big' project in my life (building my late parents a house in Kenya). I'm not a natural-born man-manager or team leader, and I'm not much of a people-person either, so I found the task of delegating jobs and responsibility INCREDIBLY hard. Amongst other things I'm an ex cabinetmaker, so I have a tendency to fuss over the most minute of details in a project, and want to check EVERYTHING thrice. Needless to say, I work best alone. ;-)
So, WELL DONE, LEO, in 'allowing yourself' to get your helpers and friends integrated into your project. I know (sort of) how difficult it is to leave a bunch of guys to get on with a job unsupervised - even skilled, talented, experienced, thoroughly competent ones like your chums are. It's a great feeling when you see that they've done a terrific job and you realise that you CAN trust people... (Sometimes!)
Cheers Tally Ho, shout out from SF bay from an old Boilermaker Iron Ship builder Portland shipyards Swan Island, Or. As a fabricator, from lofting prints, we snap chalk lines on the floor and fabricated pieces must fit within the chalk line. I understand the multi dimensional skill sets needed, but the labor of love mindset for the task at hand building a masterpiece creation of maritime history marine vessel
OK, I admit it. I'm addicted to boat building. I thought I had kicked the habit but, alas, I have failed!!
I finally used the last bits of my Irish Felt a few years ago on a house repair. Love the stuff. Can't imagine how much it costs today. It wasn't cheap back in the 80's.
The drive to PT was nice. I don't know how many times I've driven that.
OK, have you stopped and eaten at Fat Smitty's yet? The place is a legend and the food is great!
Deep into the binge - five to ten episodes a day, strictly chronological. The story thus far: Leo, introverted autodidact loner polymath, learning the human heart is more obdurate and requires more finesse to manage than purple-wood. I will sleep tonight dreaming of frames. I miss Francesca's shy smile.
You've got a good crew. Like Tom's jigs, he's got a nack for it. Thanks the information on the keel. Enjoyed the video, thanks.
TH-cam should have a "LOVE" button.
