EPISODE 128
It seems like Tally Ho may be nearly finished… but is she really? And when will she finally be re-launched?
In this episode we take a look at the work left to do, the steps left to take, the order of tasks, and the likely timeframe.
We also catch up with the progress over the last couple of weeks, with a lot of interior joinery, a sliding bunk mockup, drip-tray and sole board installation, and a mysterious teddy bear.

128. TALLY HO - NEARLY FINISHED?! (EP128)
I don't imagine you're going to read this comment, but I discovered your channel at the beginning of 2020 and it gave me something to look forward to during the pandemic. It continues to be something good that I can watch, free of politics and the doom and gloom of most media. Thank you for the work you do. Both on the Tally Ho and on these videos
Thank you!
I feel exactly the same. I now measure time in two week time slots...Thank you Leo.
Thanks Leo my husband had a Kidney Transplant 2 1/2 yet ago yesterday June 23 - Two days before Christmas!
Then the Pandemic 😷 I found Tally Ho Channel -Sailboat builder awesome Team , Parrot, Chickens !
Never Bored Bill and Look foreword to Friday releases of new Video !
Thanks Leo and Team 😍😎👍🏼🙋♀️🤩👋
My connection to the project is very similar.
Ditto!
Best intro ever! Lol. I've never heard you be so over the intro before!
Next intro is ‘me, boat, Tally Ho’… I loved it as well! The humour and passion for this craft really shine across the team.
I totally agree! Tally ho.... yep....on we go. Love the style.
He’s gone off script like that once before. It was some time ago, though. I couldn’t tell you when.
he could just edit a past intro in.
Amazing project!
Leo, here's the deal: I've been watching since the very beginning, I'm eighty-two years old, I need to watch the boat splash. So, no pressure, but remember I'm out here watching and enjoying every step of the process.
😮
71 here, same boat, no pressure at all, giving me something to look forward to.
Maybe someone will leave a huge legacy which will push this project forward so that those of us for age ( or health ) reasons, feel the pressure of time on the completion, might live to see it.
IF I had the money myself, I would leave it
(But of course in that case, I would miss the launch anyway .)
Wait another 100 yrs before this boat splush into the ocean😂
Leo, I am one of Steve Cross' friends. I live close to the sawmill. I am sorry I missed meeting you when you were here. I have enjoyed every one of your videos. I am now disabled, but I have always enjoyed wood and metalworking. Watching your channel reminds me of a time when I could make things with my hands. Thanks for letting others like me share in your journey.
Steve I’m reading your comment from half way across the world, sorry to hear of your trouble, I hope videos and communities like this are of some comfort, cheers buddy.
10:05 that editing is a thing of beauty. However long that took, it was worth it. *btw, funniest episode so far. "because he doesn't have real feet" had me rolling on the floor.
Yeah, that was awesome.
He put a triplet beat at the end
Thanks! ...and I'm glad someone noticed the triplets :D
@@SampsonBoatCo You've pulled that rhythm trick a few times before. Always nice when you hear the musician behind the vid editor. 😉
@@SampsonBoatCo john bonham would be proud of his fellow countryman! rip jb
Loved the mallet blows synchronized to the soundtrack! Wonderful little editing detail that put a smile on my face. And the triplets… Well done! Thank you also Leo for giving us a glimpse into the massive complexity of a project of this magnitude, and being candid about the challenges and the stress that you must often feel. You have my support (both moral and via Patreon 😀) to the bitter end, and I imagine that goes for a huge number of folks out there who are regularly blown away by what you and the team are accomplishing. We’re cheering you all on!
I could'nt have said it better. When you write *the massive complexity of a project of this magnitude*, you're being spot on !
I'm pretty sure the original Tally Ho was miles away from Leo's and his team's dedication and quality build to the minute details.
This is more a work of Art than a boat ! Cheers, Leo !
Yes! I had to immediately skip back and re-watch this part. Genious!
Very entertaining style. Reminds me of the yard when cuts and strikes across the yard would become in some syncopation. Some things I miss, not the bill certainly.
OMG. Right!? At 10:20 for those that missed it and goes to 11:25 at least.
Pulling tape off gleaming fresh paint is better then Christmas..so satisfying
Hey Leo, I've got a flag pole lathe that is set up in a 45' semi trailer. The drive end can actually be moved and setup outside of the trailer and/or it could be turned around so theoretically it could be configured many different ways so the length of the trailer in no way limits the overall length of mast or spar that this thing is capable of turning. Basically there's 45' of track with 4 jaw chucks at each end, one with a motor that turns the pole and there's a carriage with a high speed cutter that travels between them. I'm located on the California Central Coast and due to circumstances beyond my control this "Flagpole Lathe" needs to find a new home. Hit me up if this is something you might be interested in. I can provide you with videos of this thing in action and I am certain that it could be used to produce some very high quality masts and spars.
Maybe message him directly as well?
Interesting! Thank you! Can you email me?
info@sampsonboat.co.Uk
We saw it here folks
I would love to see that thing in action.
Awesome!
I was waiting for Leo to say... "Maybe two years..." and broke out in laughter since it has ALWAYS been two years away. Honestly, I'd be content to watch what Leo and his mates are doing forever. And what delight to see Patrick actually BECOMING a shipwright. He is doing some serious work here. That doesn't surprise me. I certainly enjoy his presence on this project. It is a great crew. Join Patreon everyone... let's keep this project going!
This is really worth watching a couple of times... the amazing work with wood as well as the discussion about project software. I'd love to pour over that software and open each of those boxes to see what lies ahead. Leo is amazing with impressive skills. This channel has brought me unending joy the past four years. This is content definitely worth paying for. Most of what is on offer on television is dreck... this is gold. Thanks Leo!
I agree with every word, the Potter becomes a Shipwright, TWO years!! Yep all of it!
Exactly. I tend to watch Netflix and watch older shows.
I quit TV... No interest in the goulash TV attempts to feed us. I think TV produces mental paralysis. Tally Ho offers fresh air and food for thought. Well done. Thank you.
Me too! I don't care if the boat ever makes it to the water LOL
Patrick has definitely learned some skills during his time on this project!
10:00 mark. I like that the hammer keeps time with the music.
Yes! Loved that!
And again at 11:16! (and the triplets at the end of the 10:00 section). Was Leo ever a drummer?
*Chef's kiss* Perfection.
Leo’s production keeps getting better and better and I think we all appreciate the synchronicity of the music and hammering. Amazing
There was one previous video where he did that. Very nice!
That musical beat matching the sounds if the work is masterful editing. You’ve created a music video, and a great one.
Leo, your expression of gratitude is a gift to everyone, and it’s yet one more gift to the TH-cam community that I wish was more common. Thank you so much.
Just signed up as a patron because this is such an amazing project. You are so talented as a boat builder, a project manager, a film maker, and most of all as a leader of an incredible team. Stay positive I'm sure it will all come together as a beautiful boat.
Thank you so much!
Leo, I love how you put your hammering in time with the music. And you understand triplet rhythms!
I'm glad someone noticed the triplets! :D
Oh yes we did notice those triplets. Good to know they were put there on purpose!
@@SampsonBoatCo Next stage of the project, hire musicians and form a band , The Sampson Boat Company has a ring to it , expect a string of hits
That multi angle table saw work makes me glad I'm just watching.
Virtually each and every piece is a one-off custom. Nothing is square, all compound angles and/or curved at progressive multi- radii. Amazing.
I didn't realize until this episode that it's also sail driven.
I'm not a handyman, just love watching the best-skilled carpentry is being done.
Leo, having just seen your new project planning computer software in action, I am amazed to learn that until recently you had to carry all this stuff in your head. No wonder you had sleepless nights.
Not only that, but you have managed to engineer-in that brilliant sound syncro @ 10:05 to this upload. I love it.
Don't be concerned, 'Tally Ho' is going to get safely launched because you're in charge - it's as simple as that!
Nice one mate!
The layout reminds me of an ancestral genealogy chart.
Yeah....... I was marveling at the audio synchronization too!!
And I was wondering how many nights Leo worked to set up all those systems and individual jobs on that software? My first assumption was that it was a rather generic management tool he had to massively add data timelines and supportive timelines to. Then I decided it was already engineered to be specific to wooden boat building greatly reducing the infeed necessary to make it fit Tally Ho.
@@maryleescott9028 mspm software is very intuitive. It would take me an hour to make a first draft.
My day job is as a software Delivery Manager, where we coordinate the collection and deployment of large enterprise software initiatives. Your MS Project example does a great job of making the scope and complexity of a large project like Tally Ho easier for folks to grasp. This was a great "behind the scenes" video.
Dennis--do you know of a good tutorial on MS Project? I tried to master it in the mid-90s when it came out but it seemed too 'broad scope' for my purposes--which was outlining theatrical scenery construction. I was working in 2 hour increments when Project seemed to want Day and 1/2 day increments. I am using Gantt charts now but would like to use what seems to be the more precise Project.
Thanks for any tips.
Please don't rush. These videos are one of the highlights of my week. The humbleness of the crew and the craftsmanship is outstanding.
Has Pete never heard of "Bring your teddy bear to work"-day?
Ok, Leo, the clips of you hammering in time with the soundtrack (10:05 and 11:16) were money! And was the pitch matching with the drill at 11:23 intentional? I'm saying it was because the drill pitch changed when the chord changed as well. Paying attention to that kind of detail in video editing really shows how much attention you're paying to the project overall. 💪💪
I have watched you while I was happy, I watched you through my divorce, and I've watched you through an enormous emotional journey and professional journey since, and I'll keep watching forever more. Thank you Leo, and thank you to all of your crew. Past, present, and I'm sure future. You are helping to make the world a better place.
So....
I have just finished the Newport Bermuda Race. Going to the bathroom, and in the stall next to me I hear "Hi, my name is Leo I'm a boat builder and a sailor, you know the rest..."
classic
"The completion of this boat, the launch of Tally Ho, is by no means guaranteed" - made my heart absolutely drop
That reminds me, when I built my boat a couple of years ago, when computers did not exist jet.
I used a handwritten list, of things to do, and to my amazement, the further I got, building the boat, the longer the list became. At one time I even thought that I will never finish at all.
Leo, thx for being so transparant about your sorrows regarding all the uncertainty’s your project software exposed (to you). Be assured that we, watching your endeavors are with you. Tally Ho will carry you over the oceans 😊
This is the first time Leo has given a hint of the incredible complexity of a project like this. I am absolutely gobsmacked.
I say you can take your good old time Leo! I'll keep enjoying every one of your videos no matter how long it takes; it's a fascinating project and watching you all solve problems and overcome challenges is very satisfying and inspiring. P.S. And I'll contribute when I can... !
Love that the snark levels are at an all time high
2:32 That wallpaper made me laugh so hard, a man of culture.
I think we are the only two.... 🤣🤣
Oh man, what epic editing! Just love how all the sounds were synchronised with the music! Amazing job!
I liked that too! Fancy little bit of editing there - like everything with this project: attention to detail.
Also, I’d 100% buy a Samson boat Co shirt…. If you were interested in making that a thing
It is very satisfying to watch you fabricate the many pieces that become part of the interior and with such precision - great workmanship. I would love to see how you manage to keep your chisels as sharp as you do. A skill - sadly - that I lack.
Shout out to Patrick for taking on so much of the filming and his great work on the project!
Loved the episode where he showed off his amazing craft in the Port Townsend garage way back around the move.
Also the fence facing minimax bevel angle with no outfeed is so sketchy, I love it. Carpentry is fun.
Still the best show on TH-cam.
I dont think people appreciate the hammering to the beat enough. You even did little triplets!!
Oh Yes we do. Cool 😎
Very complicated! Hard to really appreciate unless you've done some fine wood work. I'm stunned by the perseverance and patience of wooden boat builders. It seems to be a obsession of proud workmanship, started by all those who have gone before, and you carrying on that legacy. Good luck, and fair skies, Leo and crew.
I really can't say this enough times. I'm absolutely mesmerized by Tally Ho! Her lines, the attention to detail, the craftsmanship and the love. I will most definitely be honored to see her in person some day! ❤️⛵️
Every part of this boat is woodworking masterpiece 🤯😲😍
This boat when it is done, it we’ll be a top class sailboard valued at more then what money can buy. Because the love in every detail money can not buy. Beautiful, and keep it up
Every couple of weeks we get the privilege of seeing some completely stunning craftsmanship, worthy of building the finest wood furniture. Thanks so very much for sharing this with me and the rest of the world. 🇨🇦
This is a wonderful episode. How many positive adjectives are there available to do justice to the feeling of joy that I get when I watch a Tally Ho video. I especially enjoyed seeing Patrick fitting up the lockers in the forepeak. Credit to Patrick for his study and execution. Credit to the whole team for apprenticing Patrick to that level of skill. Quite breathtaking.
Leo, I've been watching this since day one. I have always been in awe of the task you had taken on. It's amazing to see the support and community that has been built up around you and this work and now, today, to have a further window into the work required behind the scenes. Your a legend! I want to say to you, hold your ground, keep your peace. Every great task is completed one day at a time. You have enough on your plate without worrying about completion dates. You are a leader with integrity and you have a great team around you. Delegate, Laugh and continue to enjoy this work of beauty and know you are greatly loved by a community of people who appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail that inspires and thrills.
One day at a time Leo, we are all with you. Thumbs up!
Chris
Chris,
You're a nice writer. Well said!
Agree
@@greyterry Thank you greyterry
Amazing how far Patrick's wood working skills have come, or else the level of work Leo is allowing him to do. ;)
this is absolutely true. but i think its also the jobs they are doing now is a better showcase of the skills all the crew already possessed
edited grammar
I guess difficult tasks are the only way to shut him up.
@@gatekeeper84 not sure if this is ment in good humor or not (it might be a translation problem on my part)
@@erikbergstrom258 I took it to be humourous, quite funny actually. Of course the old adage, if you can't take it don't dish it out and I'm sure Patrick can take it 'cos he sure dishes it out. It must be a hoot working there.
Leo, I have never commented before as you have so many viewers, I have very little interest in sailing or boats but I love watching your videos as I admire you and your guys skill level. As an Ex Royal Marine I should like boats lol. I thought you might like this one! ( Where traditionally does the last rivet go in an iron ship ) I know you do wood boats but it might be
a bit of trivia you can use lol. The answer is ( The very last hole ) Take Care and Cheers Dave
That's a good one! Also applied to this riveted wooden boat ;)
@@SampsonBoatCo Good Point a hole is a leak lol. Cheers Dave
The very last task of this project would be to install the ocean around the hull…
As a musician I cant tell you how much I appreciated the timing on the hammer hits to the music. I had to watch it twice to make sure I wasn’t imagining it
your'e a good guy with a good team. I can't imagine the stress involved in building Tally Ho, but me and a million others are hooked. Thanks Leo.....😀
Leo, this is when it is most important to take "one day at a time" to heart.
I understand the stress all of it - from ensuring you are handling the money responsibly, making sure your people are paid, doing justice to you project, and not messing it up in the process.
Those project management sheets give as much stress as they help manage.
I see you trying to take the whole project in one go. Focus instead on the next task, while ensuring the path is clear for the other tasks.
From my prospective as a long-time viewer of this channel it comes as a great relief to hear that Tally Ho is no where near being completed. I look forward to every episode and it makes no difference what the subject may be, all of your episodes are fascinating. Leo, besides your own narrative and explanations I also find Pete extremely fascinating. I appreciate his dry approach (sense of humor) and very succinct and relatable explanations. Yes Pete, you're succinct!
The most accurate prediction we heard, as usual, from Pete :)
Leo, every time I watch a Tally Ho video I'm more gobsmacked by the sheer enormity of the project, and that makes me respect your dedication even more. This is going to be a boat like very few others, and I daresay like almost nothing being built today. You and your crews are amazing.
This channel is just pure entertainment. I boldly posit that rebuilding the Tally-Ho is really about media content: the first few seasons of the show were a long trek, but the current season has some great stars, and now the whole enterprise suggests an expansive franchise of boatbuilding, woodworking, banter, and elbow grease. Love it!
Leo, great accomplishments seldom happen overnight. It's an immense privilege to be both a viewer and supporter. How rare it is to play a part in such an adventure. And I absolutely love the hammer blows in time with the music.
When I was a kid there were two hippies in my neighborhood that built a 60 foot racing sailboat. fiberglass hull. The first sign something was happening was when the giant molds were brought into the neighborhood. It took them probably 8 years to build. When they went to pull the hull from the mold it split in two. Not a disaster but a little of a disappointment. I remember the months spent laying the ballast. Tons of scrap lead was brought in, they melted down into bricks, stacked them in the keel and then poured molten lead over them all.
It was christened "Erotica"
My dad's reaction when he saw the name on the stern was a sarcastic "nice"
Leo: boat builder, sailer, film maker, teacher, engineer, TH-camr, philanthropist, cool dude, awesome hair, British Washingtonian?.
Much love from your neighbor in the Pacific Northwest
I fear to think how much you guys are spending on lumber; but it's worth it....
This boat is turning out like a carpenter's masterpiece, every wooden part perfectly fitted, all the wood grain beautifully brought to bear... The quality of wood is just so beautiful to look at - It would almost make me want to see the boat displayed in a museum as an art piece rather than sailed...
Almost but not quite.
I think it's a performance piece. The art is in the process of the building and the sailing.
Hi Leo, another great update. Would it be possible as part of a video just to do a walk through of the boat? We see lots of individual pieces being made and fitted, but it would be nice just to say this is where we’re up to and explain where various systems are going to go.
Yes please, would be good to see such a "walk through".
Good idea!
Seconded 🤙
If you do walkthroughs following approximately the same path through the boat at different points in time it could make a really cool video to cut back and forth between them to really clearly show how much work has been done.
I agree. In the past when I worked on projects, I liked to sit back and admire my work from time to time. A short little "sit back and admire your work overview" segment in each video would be good.
Congrats on hitting Explore! Can't wait for the next two years (and maybe more) of boatbuilding!
And the last five years - can only recommend binging the entire playlist!
@@fxshlein Yeah... I know I've been tempted back into watching some of the early videos in their entirety a few times... plus favorites like the two different times they did the ballast keel!
Leo - Boat builder - sailor - Tally Ho! Love it! XD
Getting it all down on “paper” can definitely seem overwhelming, however it’s immensely helpful and will show every bite needed to eat this elephant. Keep it up, perspective is hard when you are in the middle of a seemingly endless task, but I assure you, time will pass and the memories will be priceless
As it's been said "When you're up to your ass in alligators, it's hard to remember your job was to drain the swamp"
Been watching this series for years, your editing has come a long way Leo! So cool how you synced up the machines and hammer blows with the music. Great video as usual!
I thought I was the only one that noticed that.
Leos ptc have much less editing now!!
You guys have done an amazing job on this rebuild. One thing that made me SOOO sad was seeing the white paint going over all that gorgeous wood. I understand why it had to be done, but man, it sure would have been nice (for me at least) to see all that exotic wood in its natural glory. I'm helping a friend restore a 1957 Richardson all mahogany cabin cruiser and it has been such a long project that the topside awlgrip varnish style coating on the bow deck is peeling off.
No peeling on the painted areas even in the bilge which almost always has some amount of water in it, as the hull drains seem to really enjoy getting plugged with everything from wasp nests to leaves to sawdust. The boat is in Grantsboro NC and is pretty much out in the weather now, since with every storm we'd lose the fabric for the galvanized frame (fencepost style) "garage" she was under.
I mean EVERY time we got a bad storm the stupid cover would shred. We aren't youtubers nor do we have any patrons, this is basically a one man show (my buddy used to own a boatyard and has done this work his entire life, I'm a rank amateur)
So we finally gave up on the rather huge oversized garage idea. Those covers cost WAY too much money for us to be able to replace them every month or two. But we kept it tarped and the stuff STILL peeled off. You would think that with today's "better living thru chemistry" we could make some kind of gloss wood protective coating that wouldn't degrade from UV, nor peel, nor anything else.
Dave said (we're both "Dave's") he used some kind of clear awlgrip, but it looked to me almost like a pourable polycarbonate when it was dry (and blistered up)
The strange thing is that the bottom side of the deck boards have always been dry with no water staining or any other signs of moisture. It has to all come from simple humidity, I'm guessing?
Anyway, Dave got the boat free and the previous owner had replanked the entire boat. However, when he did that, he screwed up BADLY when he bored the holes for the prop shafts (the engines are old international Harvester 281 cubic inch gas hogs (I think that's the displacement, I know it was the same block up to the IH 327 CID)
So he bores the holes for the shafts and doesn't realize when he tore ALL The planking off at once and then replanked it that the entire geometry of the boat changed. Which entailed a massive amount of rework. But the guy was something like 95 when he died, so we really cannot complain all that much. The hard work was done, but like your Tally Ho, this boat was also taken down to literally nothing but the skeleton.
I wish we could afford the kind of wood you're using, it is simply astounding. But man, I wish there was a way you could have varnished it with something that would last as long as paint.
I did note one thing when we did our bilge before doing the cockpit deck., Trying to keep that white paint WHITE is very hard to do. Especially when you're messing around with hydaulic anchor winches, hydraulic steering and all kinds of black hoses, fan belts, rubber gaskets, etc. One of our biggest problems has been GLASS. This boat has sliding glass windows in both cabin sides. The rails these glass pieces slide in are impossible to find and this, like yours was a salt water boat. So the instruments and every bit of chrome was pitted badly. The worst being the window channels. Which are also impossible to source since it appears they were hand made. Neither side is anywhere close to matching the other (in reverse since it's port-starboard) Even the glass is different on each side, and its pretty badly scratched.
Anyway, on a much smaller scale, we've been doing exactly what you're doing. Only on basically NO budget whatsoever. We put ads online and in local papers for folks who are cutting up an old wood boat (like a constellation or something) so we can try to get wood we can use. We both envy your fundraising ability. And your professional work crew.
Keep up the good work! We've been using quite a few of the techniques we've seen on your videos. But not as precise since all we have is a very old table saw and a borrowed planer. We did score a decent sized white oak tree (and we promptly tested it after seeing that bad chunk of white oak you had that DID have some capillary action) and used that for the battens in the V-berth up front (for a 33' boat it has a horrible layout, I think, but we can't change it)
Wish I could post some photos, but you can't do that here. But if you know of ANYTHING out there that will actually LAST under the sun that is a clear coating over stained wood, I'd love to find out about it. I just wish you didn't have to cover up all that wonderful wood with paint (and those super cool copper rivets too, that looks so awesome!)
24:36 here "maybe two years" later to say how accurate that estimate really was - congratulations on the success of the build, the crew, and the channel
Was going to make a similar comment :)
From my viewpoint it looks like the easy 80% of the work on Tally-Ho is now done, which leaves roughly the other (and much harder) 80% of work left to be done
I am glad to hear that you are still in it for the long haul, Leo. I don't have any magic words to speed you along, but there is no question that you and your team are not only keeping a skill set alive, you are giving a heartbeat to history; and the value of that cannot be overstated.
Tally Ho, when finished, will be a living, breathing testament to your hard work, and she will be a teacher in her own right, an inspiration to the older folks, and to schoolchildren not yet born. Remember that there are thousands of us out here who, while perhaps not able to help with the $ effort, watch these videos and now consider this project a part of our world too.
I personally don't care if it takes you twenty years to finish. I have not, and will not miss a single video. You, and your crew are an inspiration to me and all of us watching you build Tally Ho. She is beautiful!!!!
I once owned a 35’ sailing boat named , Endurance I owned it for 10 years+ I made many upgrades to her and did all the work myself, being a mechanic on industrial equipment helped a lot with the electrical ,hydraulic and rigging systems, I even had stainless steel davits off the back with a dinghy and motor, still miss my boat! But seeing the work you people do and the kind of boat your building makes me dream again, if I had the funds I would have you people build me a boat somewhat like tally Ho ! Your all blessed with such talent and the time and place to build a piece of history for future generations, God bless all of you
On a project of this magnitude the completion isn't the issue, I would guess funding is what would keep you up at night. To get so far then run out of funds would be devastating. I have watched for over a year and have done nothing but watch an unbelievable dream come to life. Leo, more funds are on the way. Cheers
I still love Pete's "Two Years" estimated completion time that I first heard about 4 or 5years ago. It's like a running gag at this point. Lots of work to do. If I can be sappy for a moment: it won't be only water that keeps this craft afloat, love will play a role.
Yup, been hearing "Two years" for a long, long, time now! Gotta love it.😉
Yaba went into dry dock for 2-3 months. I think the city is about to give it an historical plaque. LOL, I've been involved in antique car restorations. NOTHING ever goes to schedule. And you don't have to worry about sinking with car restorations.
two more years is all i need. cant imagine life without new TH video clips.
The only days we remember are the hard ones! Keep on keeping on! You’re making history.
I found this channel when it started in 2017, so I already knew the boat is going to be done in about 2 years... :) Helpful axiom (from decades of experience) about projects like this..... they're never done, they just have to leave... that is akin to perfection is the enemy of progress...
You guys got this. Tally Ho will be done, when it is done. 😜🤪
I can't wait to see more of the interior build and than the rigging and sails.
I'm here for the long haul.
I've watched every video, stunned by the quality and workmanship; that drip tray is the first thing I've seen go into the boat which is sub par. FYI those sugared welds will rust immediately. If condensation forms on the outside of the tray then rust may drip onto the inside of the hull. I recommend having another tray made and this time insist that all welds are properly back purged. Generally speaking, if a weld in 316 has any sign of blackening it WILL rust badly in a marine environment.
That’s really interesting, thank you for sharing.
Not only is it miles away, but the circle of maintenance sets it all off again. A living............and dying thing is a wooden boat, but a way of life.
When you enjoy process............the journey is the prize!
Leo, those hammer edits are amazing…such a fantastic detail!
The crew is simply amazing, and the attention to detail will show in the end when it's in the water. But knowing that it is going to be finished at some point seems sad in it's own way. The Journey is often more memorable than the destination.
I can't imagine why people are jumping the gun on getting this boat in the water. I love every video y'all make. The longer it takes, the more I get to watch
This project has to go down in history like the making of a Swiss watch in the days of "hands on" work. Leo, you and the team live it! Having just read through the dozens of "comments", one theme emerges: it is the love of each member of the team for each other, their individuality and their value to the project. All this coordinated energy is first class human enterprise at its best!!! You are truly gifted.
Stay well, laugh a lot, and be careful of the summer temperatures. Love to you all!

Nice work subdividing rhythms on your video editing/music selection. And not just your typical quarter notes thing! Amazing work all around. The joinery impresses me to no end!!
Leo is a recognized boatbuilder, and an alleged sailor, but he's every bit as much a filmmaker! As beautiful as this boat is, the production quality on these videos is some of the best on TH-cam right now.
I wish I understood this comment. It leaves me feeling something very clever is going on and I'm not getting it!
That ‘in time’ hammering was really cool.
Don't underestimate how good you are at putting these videos together Leo, they are absolutely first class. Also, the build of the boat and planning are almost mind blowing.
I'm very impressed with the extremely high standard of the woodwork being done inside the vessel.
i dont want this to end
Nor me. I might fly out there and break something :D
😀😁
Good Project Managers are worth their weight in gold. Bad, or even mediocre ones, can tank a project like nobody's business.
@@Chefchaot Ones that complete the job on time and under budget! And do that several times!
@@Chefchaot Leo is using Microsoft Project. But with any tool, if the user doesn't use it right, it doesn't much matter.
My estimate is that you're at let's say, 45% done. And considering how much of that work was done alone I'd say things are going much faster. I know having Pete there along with a couple others has made a HUGE DIFFERENCE!! She'll get done. And I'll be here every step of the way.
Bloody hell, take your time I love the way you and your crew are building this lovely boat.
Well said, Lars.
You said it before: the boat will be ready in 2 years. 🙂
Go Leo & Co. You're the only channel I've ever consistently watched in the history of TH-cam. Great job, keep it going!

Lots of viewers say they do not make boat like that anymore'
but I think they rarely ever built stuff at that level of quality, the best of everything in every details.
The original Tally Ho had iron frame angles, Leo went for bronze,and better alloys everywhere possible
never cutting corners except for teak since it is just not there anymore.
Watching these videos is a treat in so many way I can only say Thank you again and again.
Tally ho is really starting to come together now, loving the fact we're hearing echos below deck now.
Well done Leo and team ❤👍
Thnx Leo and team for letting us in on this special journey! I feel privileged contributing a small part (like a nail per video or so 😂) to this project. Loving it from the start. It’s one of my very few patreon-contributions. I enjoy each and every video and like the progress that’s being made. I think you and your team have accomplished a LOT already. You have a wonderful team and we, the viewers and fans get to learn SO much of boat building. Pete is absolute right. These projects are rare these days and with a small but dedicated crew it takes time. A lot of it.
But we, your fans will enjoy every upcoming video and support you guys all the way. I know I will!
I remember when I found this channel when you uploaded like episode 7 after watching some woodwork stuff for fun. Been watching since , can't believe it's been 3 years now. Every time Leo changed the age of the boat at the start of the episode I feel a bit older 😅
No Leo. It doesn't sound complaining. Talking about problems (better: challenges) is good. Because your footages mostly are suggestive of restoring Tally Ho is Easy Living.
I enjoy(ed) every single second of your footage(s).
I enjoy all the videos, but this one in particular because of your disciplined approach to managing the project, and seeing Patrick take on that locker/storage; his satisfaction and sense of accomplishment was palpable and great footage! Awesome team that you build/develop and then rebuild over time. You are a great leader!
The amount of detail you're laying down in building that boat is just mesmerizing. Makes me wonder if it originally was that detailed?
I always think about that too, but as mentioned, there used to be well established shops with 30-40 shipwrights specializing in specific areas, doing their thing expertly, efficiently, and quickly.
I agree with Jeremiah!!!
Thank all who have brought this up from scrap in Oregon and supported the fantastical Leo, Pete, et all. (Miss the supervisory bird)
TALLY HO!
Leo, I have to tell you, "My bum ate it self at 13:13" Having severed a finger myself working with power saws brought it all back with a vengeance. I did sigh a huge sigh of relief when he finished. I am so loving all the craftsmanship on display. Keep going, we are all rooting for you.
It made me cringe and that is from a person that still has 10 digits. I have experienced enough close calls and seen much more than a close call to not react.
This project puts the loss of the Spanish Armada into a whole new light for me. The immense work that would have gone into a ship of the line blows me away.
At least they didn't have any systems to worry about.
