@@matthewgordon-clark2392 I thought 'clacker' was a universal term, whereas if I'd said he's been 'flat out like a lizard drinking' that would have made me sound like an Aussie.
When I was in elementary school - age 8 - the teacher told us that terms like 'port' and 'starboard' were relics from northern-European sea exploration: since they were in the north, they were exploring in the south, so each time they reached a new port it was on their left. Even at age 8 this sounded a bit hand-wavey... what about when they were returning home? I asked; the teacher said I had an attitude problem and needed to shut up. Like 80%of what I learned in school, the teacher's explanation had little to do with reality. Prior to the invention of a central rudder, from ancient Egyptian carvings in stone through the Bayeaux Taperstry's depiction of the Norman invasion in thread, ships were depicted being steered with an over-sized oar on the right side. (Historians assume it was on the right because people tend to be right-handed or have a stronger right arm. This sounds a bit hand-wavery to me, but I am left-handed.) Northern Europeans called this over-sized oar the 'steorboard': the 'steering board'. When pulling into port, they naturally situated the ship with that side *away* from the dock - otherwise the steorboard would get trapped between the dock and the ship. So the left side was called 'port', and the right side (in later English) 'starboard', long after the steorboard itself had been replaced by central rudders. Thanks for nothing, Ms Munson.
I know this comment is two years old but I’d like to thank you for an explanation of port and starboard that I think may actually stick with me. I learn by better knowing why something is called what it is rather than just being told “here’s the word, memorize it”. Now when I read another historical novel featuring naval battles I’ll be slightly less lost thanks to you. Bravo Brother
Another late addition... The derivation of the term "starboard" is even clearer in German. The German word is "Steuerbord", with port being "Backbord". The German word for steering is "steuern", so Steuerbord is "the side you steer from". The derivation of the German "Backbord" is a little more complex, since "Back" in German seaman's terms has several meanings. One is the bow of the ship, and doesn't apply here. Another apparently is a bowl or vessel used for serving food on board, and therefore also a group of the crew who eat ("mess") together. However, digging through an online thesaurus of German, the particular derivation of "Backbord" goes back to old English and Dutch. According to this, the helmsman faced the steering oar, therefore the opposite side of the ship was to his back, a word that survived into modern English. So the German Backbord would be "the side of the ship to the helmsman's back".

Probably annoyed or insulted (needlessly) by Leo's explanation of boat terminology. I'm very well versed in that subject, however I watched it anyway because there is a great deal of names and terminology for parts of the boat that are exclusive to wooden boats that I don't know as well or at all. So it was still educational and valuable even if you are composite, steel, alloy or otherwise boat person/builder/fixer etc.
The bronze floors look stunning, they are the crown upon this masterful build. Having the most beautiful golden floors, immensely strong, that will literally last for thousands of years. All this amid the splendor of this wonderius wooden creation. I'm glad the floors are being polished, Clark's work looks magic.
Great series, I’ve been watching for two years, and look forward to the next two years, and the next. Better than anything on TV. Best wishes to Leo, Pete, and all the outstanding volunteers that make the project possible.
You can't beat Leos teaching combined with the performances of Poncho. I use to watch it before I go to sleep, to finish my day with good thougts of accomplishment.
Yeh. I was worried that Pete had cracked the shits with being asked all the time "What are you doing?" and up and left. He's turning out to be quite an important character in the build. Keep Pete.
It may not look like it, but making jigs and patterns is extremely time consuming. The payoff is the speed of the final portions of the job. Just as in painting, 90% of the job is prep. Thanks, Leo & crew for the continually fascinating content. The sound track is always kickin', too.

Agreed! I feel like I might have been able to name 75-80% of those terms and still loved every minute of it. Both for the review and especially the new 25%
After watching since the beginning, I have realized how simple and trivial my projects are. I now relax and enjoy them instead of thinking of them as chores. Thank you Leo for allowing the journey on a project to outshine the destination.
Just want to say how much I enjoy Pete's explanations. Leo, you are always great too but I think that goes without saying when you watch this amazing project!
Please don't hesitate to do more of these informational segments! Even the "bland" list of names scribbled on the drawings was very interesting. Add your little bits of information and you made it a fantastically interesting segment. Maybe you could also intertwine shorter segments like these into the normal videos to keep it from getting long-winded
@@fingerbottom as patterns for casting they would likely be too rough, holding the sand when attempting to remove from the casting boxes without a lot of work to smooth them. There will also be subtle differences in the frames and beam shelfs between the original build with its years of damage and repairs and the current rebuild. Iron knees may also be fabricated thinner as a suspect it would have a higher tensile strength than bronze. Probably simpler and safer to make new patterns from scratch.
Anyone who has ever wondered why traditionally built boats are so expensive need only look at the making of the patterns for the hanging knees. Keep the explanations coming Leo.
I still can't help but feel a little envy for the working space you've procured for yourself. Anyhow, the terminology has been really helpful, and I'm glad the castings are now going smoothly. Oh, and Pete's getting snarkier by the minute, I love it.
Those polished knees are going to look fabulous on the inside - wow! I would've gotten at least a "B" on a quiz about the parts, maybe even an "A" due to attending all your classes with a focused attention I've not had for many years out of respect for your absolutely excellent craftsmanship. As I ponder that thought I have to say Leo, you were the right guy at the right time to bring this magical project forward for the world to enjoy. Good to see Clark back putting the most beautiful pieces of bronze work ever to grace the belly of a bilge. As I think about this adventure as a whole, this will be the most magnificent project I think one could be along for on YT, it truly is a magical thing. I foresee the planking phase progressing with absolute perfection with Pete's fairing work. That is going to be stunning to enjoy as this piece of art will be beyond better than the original, I know Mr Strange is smiling down on you with the greatest love and respect in a mans heart imaginable. When the day comes that you sail her back into the port of England you will bring tears to the eye's of those who have been along for this journey, and deservedly so.

@@genofashion7067 You seem somewhat obsessed. At least that's what i would call someone that continually posts the same BS comment in pretty much every comment thread. Might want to talk to a professional and try to get your upstairs department fixed because something's clearly loose up there. Please do so before you end up wanting to physically hurt Leo because that leads to jail time.
Two years ago I wouldn't have understood much of the boat terminology. Thanks to Leo, and all his workmates, I understood pretty much everything. What a glorious education it's been.
Given that all racing was cancelled this season, including the Newport to Bermuda race, your videos are a godsend. Thank you so much. You just made my day
Leo, Couldn’t picture any other shipwright as energetic, skillful and as in tune to this project as Pete. Well done. Hope you have as much luck with your new apprentice.
That was a fantastic explanation of terms. There is quite a lot of new vocabulary and a reminder every now and again in compilation form like this is wonderful. I would certainly love to hear more in the future. Please keep it up.
Are you kidding? Every hardware store from Kingston to Poulsbo to Port Angeles has been ordering clamps and selling them as fast as they arrive, and loving it.
Top work. Those floors are works of art and I can’t wait to see the elbows. Maybe they’re horrendously over-engineered, but we love it all the more for it!
Leo is one of the most impressive people I’ve ever had the pleasure to know (via internet) I’ve known craftsman in my life but never one so young! Right on Leo!
Awesome quality build... there is never a moment when an observer is left with the impression that this boat can't last 100-years and beyond. Which is Incredible truly ....
I find myself already lamenting the fact that Leo will not be documenting his time at sea. I wish with all my heart that we could all continue the journey into that season of life. This is by far the best show on the Tube.
It’s been about a month now since I found Leo’s videos they are fantastic I’ve gone back and watched every single one from the beginning and everything that Was put out for the Sampson boat company I love how Leo is very knowledgeable about tally ho and boat building I love all the history when I watch the videos I catch myself laughing I enjoy them because I see poncho strutting around on the planks and it’s nice to see the dogs running around and playing everyone who has volunteered or who has helped with the rebuilding of tally ho are fantastic I have even recommended Leo’s videos to other people for the content as to the technical aspects of wooden boatbuilding I remember going up to Victoria it was during the wooden boat festival back in the 90s I enjoyed it very much it brings back memories of some very beautiful boats
Thank you so much for the vocabulary lesson. For a land-locked land-lubber such as myself who feels the call of the ocean, but has never had action to answer that call, I appreciate it. Love all of the channels I have found from building small boats from scratch to these large resto-rebuilds. As I am currently disabled and have never broken that $40k annual income bracket, this is but a pipe dream for some one like me, but I can dream through channels of this sort. For this I am in your debt. You, sir, have my gratitude.
As I lay under the stars, pondering how it all was created, up comes a Tally Ho video describing how a wooden boat is made, and the names of it parts. What a very satisfying endeavor, Leo; for you and very certainly for us.
A BOAT (re)build !? More like a ART project, done with PRIDE mixed with Labor of Love. Pete also is very descriptive, same with Clark.👍 You, Leo, have made my view of 'wooden' boats very different. Thank you AND ALL, VERY MUCH!
Glad you brought back the traditional intro ("Hello, my name is Leo and I am a..."). The terminology portion is greatly appreciated. Learned a couple. More would be appreciated.
Yes, please do continue the instructional portion found at the beginning of this video. I, for one, do not know everything about everything, and it is very helpful to hear terminology explanations regards a specialized topic.
Loving how polished all that bronze is looking! Even if no one ever sees it again, you'll always know. Pete seems to be enjoying the camera a little more now!
"Pete" What more can I say. Loved the first 10 min. I am NOT a Sailor or Shipwright so thanks. I am proud of and for you in your vision and dedication. Keep doing what you do.
I'm a Wood Machinist/Furniture Maker in Australia, and only after watching Leo and his team and Louis Sauzeddes videos, have I come to realise that Shipwrights and wooden boat builders are the pinnacle of woodworking trades. All the tools used are the same, only everything is done so much more fluidly. Every cut is a compound mitre and every curve is also curving on multiple planes. Hats off to you Leo, keep the videos coming. I wait for them every week.
Interesting lexicon lesson, though I'd long ago looked up the terms I didn't understand. I applaud you for modernizing Tally Ho as you go, and I hope you will continue to do so when it comes to infrastructure and systems. RIP Mr. McGuire.
I know absolutely nothing about boats or boatbuilding and am captivated by this channel. What an incredible education and wealth of information sharing you are doing. Truly, thank you for taking the time to document and share your journey and include others in the learning process. While I will likely never be one to build a big boat, this does make me want to build my own small wood boat, even if it ends up being nothing more than a wooden canoe or dinghy. You are definitely inspiring the current and next generation.
One hell of a bird's house :-) gotta love Pete. Hmm, two dogs... if there is a second parrot and a couple of other animal- paires, I'll start worrying ;-)
All of this knowledge and skill building and restoring a yacht and I have just finished watching you yacht racing as boson on the Adix, what an incredible young man you are.
love watching the progress on this epic build, the floors and PURE QUALITY, and the knees will be too, can't wait - this boat will be of such quality Leo and shows the world what love you and all your helpers have put into it
The absolute highlight of lockdown in Edinburgh watching these episodes. Tally ho is a festival of boat building - something that Edinburgh does't have. THANKS!
Love the fact that you are making the lodging and hanging knees in bronze. This is first class which goes along with everything else you are doing on this project. Nice explanation of terms at the beginning too. Keep up the great teamwork Leo!
Dave, that was very refreshing. All of them were calendar shots. You do good work out in the field as well as in the shop. Always enjoy seeing what you have to offer. God's creation is really fabulous.
She‘s going to be the finest cutter of all out there once completed. In fact she probably already is as I cannot imagine anyone else has ever built a wooden boat in such perfection and beauty.
I did find the terminology very interesting and thank you for explaining it, and with all the patterns your making you could build a second boat at sometime.
Wow! Each one of those plugs is a piece of art in itself. But when they're cast and polished they are masterpieces! And I don't care you won't see the floors when it's done. Leo knows they're in there and that's what's important, and thanks to the interwebs we all know they're in there and what it took to do that. As a model builder I know how annoying it is when you know something's not the way you want it, even when it's out of sight!
Hey Pete! I'm a callipygiologist. So I, too, admire a shapely bottom with fair curves and a nice tuck. I always want to fondle the the turn of the bilge and run my fingers along the tuck. I also love all the exquisite boat jewelry you guys are creating. Made by the lost wood (since it would require far too much wax, i suppose) casting method and polished to a dazzling mirrored finish.
So I happened upon these videos last week after looking for something to watch with the sound down while working. The next thing I know, I've watched the entire series and have gotten so invested in what's going on that I can't watch it while I'm working because I won't get anything done and I want to hear what everyone's saying. However, I have made sure to never skip through the commercials to make sure that you get all of that ad revenue to help in building your boat. (I might add that some of those commercials are 45 minutes long.) Anyways, it has been very inspiring to watch and has caused me to reflect on how important it is to stop making excuses and chase your dreams. Thanks for sharing your journey and look forward to watching where it goes from here.
Pancho's mansion indeed! I have to say I love how wry Pete looks when trying to explain terms..makes me laugh every time. Hell you guys are artist in the truest sense. I am proud to be a patron and in some small way helping on this boat. Keep up the great work all!

Is the chicken wire inside or outside the bars?
Please don't hesitate to do more of these informational segments! Even the "bland" list of names scribbled on the drawings was very interesting. Add your little bits of information and you made it a fantastically interesting segment. Maybe you could also intertwine shorter segments like these into the normal videos to keep it from getting long-winded
What a skilled craftsman Leo is, making those patterns for hanging knees. They alone as is are works of art!
You'd think the iron knees could be used as templates.
@@fingerbottom as patterns for casting they would likely be too rough, holding the sand when attempting to remove from the casting boxes without a lot of work to smooth them. There will also be subtle differences in the frames and beam shelfs between the original build with its years of damage and repairs and the current rebuild. Iron knees may also be fabricated thinner as a suspect it would have a higher tensile strength than bronze. Probably simpler and safer to make new patterns from scratch.
Anyone who has ever wondered why traditionally built boats are so expensive need only look at the making of the patterns for the hanging knees. Keep the explanations coming Leo.
Props to Pete - doing a thankless job that will only be visible if it isn't done well, and usually done by himself with only Pancho to help.
DO NOT Compromise! Keep up the good work!
Yes to more boat terminology! That was really neat and helpful!
Everything you do is interesting and not worth bypassing. I never want to miss a second of your videos.
I still can't help but feel a little envy for the working space you've procured for yourself. Anyhow, the terminology has been really helpful, and I'm glad the castings are now going smoothly. Oh, and Pete's getting snarkier by the minute, I love it.
Wood, metal, hand & power tools, machines, plans, craftsmanship, and boats are just a few of my favorite things 👍🏻
Those polished knees are going to look fabulous on the inside - wow!
I would've gotten at least a "B" on a quiz about the parts, maybe even an "A" due to attending all your classes with a focused attention I've not had for many years out of respect for your absolutely excellent craftsmanship. As I ponder that thought I have to say Leo, you were the right guy at the right time to bring this magical project forward for the world to enjoy.
Good to see Clark back putting the most beautiful pieces of bronze work ever to grace the belly of a bilge.
As I think about this adventure as a whole, this will be the most magnificent project I think one could be along for on YT, it truly is a magical thing.
I foresee the planking phase progressing with absolute perfection with Pete's fairing work. That is going to be stunning to enjoy as this piece of art will be beyond better than the original, I know Mr Strange is smiling down on you with the greatest love and respect in a mans heart imaginable. When the day comes that you sail her back into the port of England you will bring tears to the eye's of those who have been along for this journey, and deservedly so.
Indeed. That's some serious bilge bling there.
those polished floors are just stupid beautiful.. I'd never be able to resist getting them to a high sheen.. well done that man!
Yippee, Leo’s back. Info for us landlubbers
@@genofashion7067 mean comment
if you watch the inspection it did look like some of the stuff would be salvageable before he started. If you replace one bumper and Fender on your car is it the same one what about it the next year you replace the other fenders and then the motor 5 years later
@@genofashion7067 You seem somewhat obsessed. At least that's what i would call someone that continually posts the same BS comment in pretty much every comment thread. Might want to talk to a professional and try to get your upstairs department fixed because something's clearly loose up there. Please do so before you end up wanting to physically hurt Leo because that leads to jail time.
aarrgggg. Speak for yourself lassie!
there goes our excuse to use landlubber terminology ;-)
Two years ago I wouldn't have understood much of the boat terminology. Thanks to Leo, and all his workmates, I understood pretty much everything. What a glorious education it's been.
Given that all racing was cancelled this season, including the Newport to Bermuda race, your videos are a godsend. Thank you so much. You just made my day
Leo, Couldn’t picture any other shipwright as energetic, skillful and as in tune to this project as Pete. Well done. Hope you have as much luck with your new apprentice.
That was a fantastic explanation of terms. There is quite a lot of new vocabulary and a reminder every now and again in compilation form like this is wonderful. I would certainly love to hear more in the future. Please keep it up.
The color coded pictorial to go with the vocbulary lesson was a great teacher's touch as well.
Sampson Boat Co: Running stores out of clamps since 2017
I just need a FEW MORE. Some call it an addiction.
Are you kidding? Every hardware store from Kingston to Poulsbo to Port Angeles has been ordering clamps and selling them as fast as they arrive, and loving it.
Sampson Boat Co “It’s not an an addiction. I even have a prescription for them... Well the man at the shop called it a receipt - but Whatever!!!”
@@SampsonBoatCo It's better to have 'em and not need 'em than to need 'em and not have 'em....
A few clamps?!? Better that toilet 🧻 😉
I can only imagine how much machine maintenance, changing blades, sharpening, replacing you must all do...great series 🇨🇦
Top work. Those floors are works of art and I can’t wait to see the elbows. Maybe they’re horrendously over-engineered, but we love it all the more for it!
Pete, lying in bed at night, on edge. Suddenly, Leo's voice calls out:
Hey Pete. . . What are you doin'?
That could ruin a masturbation session.
Omg that made me laugh lol
😂😂😂
It gets funnier and funnier each time he says it lol
"Thinking about a shapely bottom"
Leo is one of the most impressive people I’ve ever had the pleasure to know (via internet) I’ve known craftsman in my life but never one so young! Right on Leo!
Awesome quality build... there is never a moment when an observer is left with the impression that this boat can't last 100-years and beyond. Which is Incredible truly ....
I find myself already lamenting the fact that Leo will not be documenting his time at sea. I wish with all my heart that we could all continue the journey into that season of life. This is by far the best show on the Tube.
It occurs to me you may super enjoy Patrick O’Brian’s series of books on British Navy, late 18th-early 19th centuries.
It’s been about a month now since I found Leo’s videos they are fantastic I’ve gone back and watched every single one from the beginning and everything that Was put out for the Sampson boat company I love how Leo is very knowledgeable about tally ho and boat building I love all the history when I watch the videos I catch myself laughing I enjoy them because I see poncho strutting around on the planks and it’s nice to see the dogs running around and playing everyone who has volunteered or who has helped with the rebuilding of tally ho are fantastic I have even recommended Leo’s videos to other people for the content as to the technical aspects of wooden boatbuilding I remember going up to Victoria it was during the wooden boat festival back in the 90s I enjoyed it very much it brings back memories of some very beautiful boats
Leo. You make great videos. We all will watch you explain anything. Even restoring an old threading machine. Keep it up mate.
Excellent tutorial of the terminology during the first 9 minutes. The craftsmanship is impressive. ⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵ X 10
Thank you so much for the vocabulary lesson. For a land-locked land-lubber such as myself who feels the call of the ocean, but has never had action to answer that call, I appreciate it. Love all of the channels I have found from building small boats from scratch to these large resto-rebuilds. As I am currently disabled and have never broken that $40k annual income bracket, this is but a pipe dream for some one like me, but I can dream through channels of this sort. For this I am in your debt. You, sir, have my gratitude.
Cello music on the bronze floor part was very elegant! I hope it was the cello - lol
As I lay under the stars, pondering how it all was created, up comes a Tally Ho video describing how a wooden boat is made, and the names of it parts. What a very satisfying endeavor, Leo; for you and very certainly for us.
A BOAT (re)build !? More like a ART project, done with PRIDE mixed with Labor of Love. Pete also is very descriptive, same with Clark.👍
You, Leo, have made my view of 'wooden' boats very different.
Thank you AND ALL, VERY MUCH!
Glad you brought back the traditional intro ("Hello, my name is Leo and I am a..."). The terminology portion is greatly appreciated. Learned a couple. More would be appreciated.
Yes, please do continue the instructional portion found at the beginning of this video. I, for one, do not know everything about everything, and it is very helpful to hear terminology explanations regards a specialized topic.
Agreed. It will be my tutorial for my test to become an apprentice on the project. 👍🏼
Loving how polished all that bronze is looking! Even if no one ever sees it again, you'll always know. Pete seems to be enjoying the camera a little more now!
The explaination part was really useful and also entertaining
Anybody who's read the Patrick O'Brian series will appreciate this quick terminology series. Waiting for the next one to explain all the sails...
Pete always does an excellent job explaining!
So great to read the comments and notice more and more people are sounding like Leo with the correct terminology!
💪😎👍
"Pete" What more can I say. Loved the first 10 min. I am NOT a Sailor or Shipwright so thanks. I am proud of and for you in your vision and dedication. Keep doing what you do.
In the process of watching the entire video library and I’m really enjoying it.
Glossary of terms was very helpful, I knew most already but still interesting - more welcome
I couldn't agree more!
@@FiferSkipper Same for me!!!
Your explanation of terms was amazing. Using different highlighters to show each piece was genius. I learned a lot more than I thought i would.
" Hello I am Leo a boat builder and a sailor " Thank you !!!! made my day.
Yes, the REAL Leo is back!
I'm a Wood Machinist/Furniture Maker in Australia, and only after watching Leo and his team and Louis Sauzeddes videos, have I come to realise that Shipwrights and wooden boat builders are the pinnacle of woodworking trades.
All the tools used are the same, only everything is done so much more fluidly. Every cut is a compound mitre and every curve is also curving on multiple planes.
Hats off to you Leo, keep the videos coming. I wait for them every week.
Interesting lexicon lesson, though I'd long ago looked up the terms I didn't understand. I applaud you for modernizing Tally Ho as you go, and I hope you will continue to do so when it comes to infrastructure and systems. RIP Mr. McGuire.
To Leo and all your crew to many to name thank you all I look forward to seeing this every 2 weeks
We need more Cello music. Its amazing
I'm happy to see that this just isn't a boat building project, but also an offering for an apprentice.
I too was a tad bit concerned we wouldn't hear from Pete. Bravo!
It’ll be quite bittersweet the day you finish building her. I absolutely love every second of every episode.
This is the coolest project on TH-cam.been here since the get go
I know absolutely nothing about boats or boatbuilding and am captivated by this channel. What an incredible education and wealth of information sharing you are doing. Truly, thank you for taking the time to document and share your journey and include others in the learning process. While I will likely never be one to build a big boat, this does make me want to build my own small wood boat, even if it ends up being nothing more than a wooden canoe or dinghy. You are definitely inspiring the current and next generation.
One hell of a bird's house :-) gotta love Pete.
Hmm, two dogs... if there is a second parrot and a couple of other animal- paires, I'll start worrying ;-)
LOL! Love it! Tally Ho would definitely be very handy in a case like you are suggesting 😂😂😂
🤣🤣
haha! As long as I'm not stuck on board with Pete and Clark!
@@SampsonBoatCo 😂😂😂
All of this knowledge and skill building and restoring a yacht and I have just finished watching you yacht racing as boson on the Adix, what an incredible young man you are.
love watching the progress on this epic build, the floors and PURE QUALITY, and the knees will be too, can't wait - this boat will be of such quality Leo and shows the world what love you and all your helpers have put into it
The absolute highlight of lockdown in Edinburgh watching these episodes. Tally ho is a festival of boat building - something that Edinburgh does't have. THANKS!
Love the fact that you are making the lodging and hanging knees in bronze. This is first class which goes along with everything else you are doing on this project. Nice explanation of terms at the beginning too. Keep up the great teamwork Leo!
Dave, that was very refreshing. All of them were calendar shots. You do good work out in the field as well as in the shop. Always enjoy seeing what you have to offer. God's creation is really fabulous.
Nice choice on the music of Barry Phillips and as always your show is the absolute best thing on Sampson Boat Company (youtube)
She‘s going to be the finest cutter of all out there once completed. In fact she probably already is as I cannot imagine anyone else has ever built a wooden boat in such perfection and beauty.
I did find the terminology very interesting and thank you for explaining it, and with all the patterns your making you could build a second boat at sometime.
Wow! Each one of those plugs is a piece of art in itself. But when they're cast and polished they are masterpieces! And I don't care you won't see the floors when it's done. Leo knows they're in there and that's what's important, and thanks to the interwebs we all know they're in there and what it took to do that. As a model builder I know how annoying it is when you know something's not the way you want it, even when it's out of sight!
Leo, I like how you give so much pleasure to so many people, not so common these days.
Hey Pete! I'm a callipygiologist. So I, too, admire a shapely bottom with fair curves and a nice tuck. I always want to fondle the the turn of the bilge and run my fingers along the tuck.
I also love all the exquisite boat jewelry you guys are creating. Made by the lost wood (since it would require far too much wax, i suppose) casting method and polished to a dazzling mirrored finish.
So I happened upon these videos last week after looking for something to watch with the sound down while working. The next thing I know, I've watched the entire series and have gotten so invested in what's going on that I can't watch it while I'm working because I won't get anything done and I want to hear what everyone's saying. However, I have made sure to never skip through the commercials to make sure that you get all of that ad revenue to help in building your boat. (I might add that some of those commercials are 45 minutes long.) Anyways, it has been very inspiring to watch and has caused me to reflect on how important it is to stop making excuses and chase your dreams. Thanks for sharing your journey and look forward to watching where it goes from here.
Pancho's mansion indeed! I have to say I love how wry Pete looks when trying to explain terms..makes me laugh every time. Hell you guys are artist in the truest sense. I am proud to be a patron and in some small way helping on this boat. Keep up the great work all!
Your new apprentice is one lucky person. Learning from the best.
