I Agree 100%. I don’t think we’ll ever know how much this channel has inspired the Young and Old to do something amazing, like the rebuild of Tally-Ho. Leo & Pete are quite skilled & are sharing a lot of tips & tricks with us.
Riding freight trains over a 5-year period, and surviving, is a bit of luck. Sorry you didn't have a full supply of it given the situation with the legs. Stobe rode trains longer and was skilled at it. But his luck ran out in Nov. 2017. We miss Jim Stobie.
I legitimately had no idea Pete had prosthetics, Leo's quible about stepping on his toes earlier in the video made no sense til that explanation. Pete is truly an enigma!
I always thought he had some crazy skinny ankles lol, but still had no suspicion that he had prosthetics. He's even more incredible than I thought! And yea I had to scratch my head at the stepping on toes too.
Yes blew my mind too. Never had thought about it, but it is kind of fitting now that i know about it. Did anyone else think that it is amazing how much character he has ?
As a construction foreman on a school gymnasium build, I once worked with a man who "walked funny", but never thought anything of it until one day he called to me for some help. He was 18 feet up an extension ladder when one of his prosthetic legs fell off. Once he'd reattached the dropped leg, he was right back to business as usual. Of course, he later explained how he's lost his feet. An unfortunate slip while riding railcars. Had I known about his prosthetics beforehand, I know that as his foreman I would have sought to limit his activities to what I personally thought suitable to his condition. The ladder incident served a great lesson for me about allowing others to set their own limitations. Thanks for sharing your story Pete.
The luckiest guy to get run over by a freight train. I now have a favorite person. "Last week I found a pencil in there!". Great guy and a better attitude. I love this channel. Great work.
Pete lived his life as he wanted, had an accident but took responsibility and got on with it. No moaning and groaning that life dealt him bad cards. He has discovered Gratefulness - for being able to bounce back ! He is an inspiration.
I vaguely recall one video where Leo asked for volunteers, and asked for women and as well as men to come on board. So glad she is on the team. She seems like an wonderful person.
Honestly, sometimes I get the impression, this project was written by some excellent Hollywood writer. The pick of main cast is beyond imagination :-). Respect!
Greetings Tally Ho from Scotland. Must admit when I first saw Pete on the Western Flyer channel I wasnae really sure if he fitted, I mean right away you could tell his shipwright skills were something else but the nose ring and the tatoos made him stand out...However over time watching the Flyer and then with Leo I came to see him as a really good guy. However this episode has humbled me and taught me a powerful lesson, Never make your mind up about someone on the first shout. Pete is not jist good, He is Great. Truly an inspiration. Thank you so much for this episode
I do hope Pete, when this adventure is sadly over, will start his own TH-cam channel so we can follw his upcoming jobs. Love his Wit and the Hardworking attitude he has. Would definitly subscribe and follow that.
I LOVE that Pete has been on your channel for so long and this is the first time you have mentioned his feet. He is a talented shipwright who happens to have no feet, not an amputee who has found a vocation within his physical abilities!
Loose both feet..take on new feats ! No ones mentioned Pete's dry sense of humor, his facial control.. the lip curl, roll of the eyes, and the toss of the head.. Hey Pete, I'm thinking your issues collecting daily droppings in your boot could be cleverly solved by wearing gators..maybe self made from all the coffee bags floating about Town..luv ya
Pete saying he is Humble is an understatement. A gentle man at peace within himself makes a person like Pete real. I'm one who is humbled just to know him as we do now via this venue, thanks so much Pete and You as well Leo for this introduction. Enlightened and excited to see the crew as it is going forth with such enthusiasm. Happy New one and All !!
Yeah that's right. There's the boat, and it's history which is fascinating. Leo's story is a big part of it. But there's also the stories of the workers, the builders, in this case Pete. I never realized he had any issues with his legs. I guess, really, he doesn't.
Much respect to Pete. So totally down to earth. Responsible for his own actions. If more people’s outlooks were along those lines the world would be a better place. The world needs more Petes.
Leo set out to restore a boat, instead has created a community of like minded awesome people that embody the good in the world of evil. Hats off to ya Pete. Now get to work
I almost fell off my bloody perch, when no-feet Pete pulled his twisted ankle stunt, FFS! As soon as I’d recovered my composure, Rosie proceeded to make me cry, when she promised to pass Jake Jacobson’s tools onto another budding shipwright, all sharp & in beautiful working condition.
Just when you were thinking 'there's a lot of darkness around right now' (literally and metaphorically), along comes a Tally Ho film to brighten things up. What a fine selection of humanity, involved in a noble task.
What an incredible episode!! If there has been any discussion about how much original material is left on Tally Ho, know this; your vessel had been re-infused with character and soul 50 times over, from the men and woman rebuilding her, to the animals who see over her, to the community who watch and support this project! DD
Tally Ho has lost almost all her original material. Today's episode made me realize, we've also lost almost all her history as well - the stories of those who built & sailed her. Gotta wonder if Stowe & Son had a shipyard dog !
Pete doesn't have a right leg? OMG! Pete is a real American. I am Russian and I respect him very much for his hard work, modesty, simplicity and humor. If everyone was just a little bit like Pete, the world would be a much better place. Thank you Leo for showing us Pete. Hello from Russia.
@@chuckprichard3691 I realized this when I watched the video to the end. And I also understood why Pete started his work on Leo's project by building a ladder. This became clear only now. Until the last video, I never imagined that Pete had no legs. It's just amazing.
@@ВладЦебеш I actually thought it was for his dog. I think Bscktrack might have some mountain goat genes the way he loves climbing up to the most precarious little perches and going to sleep!
Leo: "Hey Pete. What are you doing?" Pete: "Just stumping around." Pete is impressing me more and more in every video. Leo's entire crew are inspiring, as is the Tally Ho project itself. A wonderful community has been growing around this channel and the boat itself. So exciting!
Watching him go from what most people would write off as firewood to something recognizable as a boat is truly amazing! Never been prouder of someone I’ve never met!
What a great episode. No feet Pete, Rosie's tools. Jake Jacobson, And The Viking Rules. Leo's amazing hair. And Oh! Tally Ho. Great content Leo thanks.
What I love the most about you Leo is you as a shipwrights legend creating shipwrights legends! Hey Pete what you’re doing? Has become a legend of his own because of you! And I hope your apprentice with her new/old tools will join this group of legends! What an awesome, inspiring team you have created, we love them all! YOU ALL HAVE TURNED INTO TRUE ROLE MODELS!🙏👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏💞
I'll never forget meeting a man who'd lost 4 limbs to diabetes and painted beautiful watercolors with a brush clamped in his teeth. He could light the place up with his enthusiasm for life. I was humbled then as now. Thanks for the unforgettable story Pete and Leo for capturing it. Just when I think this channel can't get any better it does!
I went through a very similar injury as Pete although I was able to keep my legs and it was Vehicles not a train but I am now made of medical grade steel covered with my own flesh from my waist down. The doctors said I may never walk again but I now with lots of encouragement and support 2 yaers after and 14 years later am still doing what I did before the accident and it also has made me the person I am now. I tell people all the time its all a mind set and if you think you can't then you won't. Although I live with daily pain and discomfort it's a constant reminder that I can and hearing Pete's story it's a great comfort knowing I share somewhat a connection with a very talented and passionate tradesman. Keep pushing on and know you can.
She should get a journal to put in it each page Should have the picture and some of the things each Individual learned while using the tools and some things about themselves hopefully by the end it's a very long Tale.
That sea chest looked a bit disorganized. Maybe Rose can show her carpentry skills by turning that sea chest into a proper tool chest before she passes it along
I get it Pete! When in the midst of doing a task, having someone ask you what you are doing means stopping, mentally noting what step you are at, rewinding, explaining it all, then resuming your progress and making sure you didn't miss a small detail. That moment to make sure you can resume leaves a pause easily taken as "grumpy" ... being that person myself, I see it as someone putting their entire focus into their work. Thanks for sharing!
Yup, right with Pete on that one too. As a precision machinist and race engine builder I used to work late hours, 12 midday to 10pm or later. That way I'd get at least 5 hours at the bench with the doors closed and no phone going. Everyone was a bunch happier that way 'cause they didn't have to put up with me getting frustrated and grumpy every time I was interrupted. Two of my guys liked working early and leaving early, the other couple were made my way and simply didn't like humans in the morning anyway. We got along that way just fine....Had to train new customers a bit though🤨🤣
Been going through the rebuild from the beginning after starting midway through ages ago. This has got to be one of the best episodes you put together Leo
Pete..."It's the crew that really makes the ship" ...sweet! What a special episode, well done, again. Leo is becoming an ever more charming videographer. I liked the pans around the boat when visiting another yard...literally 'looking' like a shipwright and the charming focus pulls and good use of shallow depth of field around Tally Ho's planking. Pete is a star and Leo showed his appreciation and warmth by highlighting Pete in this episode. The whole Tally Ho project should be nominated for some kind of Menschkeit award.
This channel is the simply the most uplifting and positive thing on TH-cam. Wonderful people, working on a beautiful boat and taking us all along on a great journey together. May they all have fair winds and following seas.
Thanks for sharing the story about Jake Jacobsen's tools. I sailed with Jake on Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain, and considered him a friend and mentor. It's nice to hear that his legacy continues and the a wee bit of him will be in Tally Ho.
Your pirate crew is really coming together. You've got a parrot and a guy with peg legs. Now you just need someone with long hair and an eye patch. Kidding aside, I enjoyed this episode. I thought Pete was just a camera shy shipwright. I had no idea.
Hats off for Leo’s film making skills, every episode tells a story, and we as the viewers are enthralled. The rebuilding of Tally Ho is a ‘journey’, and with all it’s personal stories, is as interesting as any of her actual voyages.
Hey Pete! That’s awesome, I’m celebrating my 1 year anniversary of loosing my leg. I’m a below the knee amputee, seeing this video surprised me and motivated me. Thank you for sharing, love your channel Leo! Jeremy
Would have never guessed, Pete's quite the guy for accepting the consequences of his choices. It just goes to show that determination and persistence pay's off.
I feel honored that Pete would share something so personal. I don't know that I would have been able to do the same thing. He has overcome his challenges in an admirable and honorable way. I had no idea he had prosthetics. I have appreciated Pete's hard work and attention to detail as well as his very respectable boat building skills.
I loved that shot too! I've often been working on wood projects outside with the dog, she occasionally looks at me with a "naa, you're doing that wrong mate" look, I do wonder if she had a previous life as a carpenter!
I have watched Leo from the first episode and lived most of life in St Louis I feel a real connection since Pete has joined the crew. Best wishes to all involved. TH-cam is such a magical force. Without TH-cam Leo couldn't build it and we couldn't watch it transform.
This has gone way beyond simply rebuilding. It's now become a wonderful community that supports not only Leo, but aspiring shipbuilders. What a tremendously great thing. With all the strife in this country right now, this is a breath of fresh air and hope. God Bless!
Just watched this episode don’t know how I missed it. Pete you are an inspiration and a very unique individual. The Tally Ho squad are one of a kind it’s a privilege to watch you all, I send my very best regards to you all.
" I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet." Helen Keller... Imagine how much better the world would be if we all had a Pete in our lives.
Thanks Just thinkin. We really do not know, whatever our condition, just how lucky we are. And Leo, always knew Laconic Pete was special. Keep this episode. Save it, share it. It's beautiful,
@@hehted I know how lucky I am. I got fed up with New York state and moved to New Orleans. First doctor I saw didn't like some test results, and 3 weeks later I was in the hospital having the first 18 inches of my colon removed due to colon cancer. That doctor referred to me as "Lucky Bob." I was out of work for about 1 1/2 weeks, returned for 1/2 days, then full days and slept through lunches. No Chemo, and no cancer since. That was in Fall of 2007. That is the very short version of what happened.
Hey Pete, I'm a double amputee as well. I feel like we have the same attitude. Some people think it makes us weak but, I think it is what makes us strong! I love the videos even more now.
It's not what happens in life that matters... It's how you choose to deal with it. Pete could have chosen to go through this bitter and hateful. But he chose the high road. Pete's a rock star!!!
I'm sitting on my couch grumbling at the crap weather we have been having lately ( I live on Vancouver Island, not to terribly far away from where Leo and Tally Ho are situated) I get a bit depressed during the winter months. The long dark days, the wind and rain. Puts me in a bit of a mood. So decided to watch a few youtubes and see what is going on in the rest of the world, maybe I can find something to cheer me up. Well hell. Mission accomplished.
brilliant from start to finish, from "111 year old boat" intro, and "stepping on toes" to "viking apprentice" rosie. thank you rosie, pete and the rest of the crew, but especially leo
As an amputee myself, I had my suspicions, good on you Pete, humour helped me and others cope with life and whatever it throws at us, Great job everyone, Take care from Bonnie Scotland
Watching what is happening in America from outside it is wonderful, uplifting and reassuring to see all these fine young people doing such a great job with skill and humour.
Generosity. I watch this channel because it’s relaxing, satisfying, and it makes sense of a crazy world. I now realize I’m learning what generosity is. Thanks Jake, and thank you Leo, for teaching the world how to think differently.
Thanks for the "human touch" to the last few videos. Always good to see the personalities and stories behind the work. BTW, good job on some new kinds of shots. Some camera angles and perspectives of the boat and shop that we haven't seen before. Good to see that you guys do take some time out to recharge your batteries.
Reg. Pete’s metal socks. Here is a little story from Bosnia right after the war. I was down there wearing green clothes while securing the peace. There was a this young man at the local cafe. You could meet him some nights around the pooltable. Sometimes he would bet people to see who would give up first, taking turns kicking eachother over the shins. He allways won :P
"Son, one day you're going to meet a man who's going to sealed deck of cards, and he's going to bet you that he can make the Jack of Spades leap out of the pack and squirt you in the ear with lemonade. Don't take that bet, for as surely you'll have an earful of Lemonade."
There was a British fighter pilot in WW2 who was unusual as he was short sighted (learned to fly privately before the war). He was a recipient of some of the first contact lenses which were a lot larger than modern ones, covering most of the front of the eyeball. When he and his friends would go to a pub whenever people realised they were fighter pilots it was nearly guaranteed someone would bring up in conversation how they needed perfect eyesight. 'Rubbish, why my wingman there has a glass eye!... No, I don't care what you've read about the medical he does!... If you're so sure would you like to make a bet?' The money would be gathered on the bar and as the pub looked on the pilot would call for quiet, pick up a coin and tap, tap on his right eye. Push the money towards the barman and ask for a round of drinks. 'Well I never would have believed it!... Doesn't having a glass eye make it hard to be a fighter pilot?' "Well yes, but not half as hard" (tap, tap on left eye) "as having this one as well does!"
I generally really like all of Leo's videos but there are a couple that stand out and this is clearly one of them. How do 135 people dislike this? Thank you Leo for taking the time to put this together. Combined with the last video where we got to know the rest of the crew a bit better, it is all just very wonderful. I've supported you on Patreon for a long time now and will continue. You may know this but I'll say it anyway. We are not only entertained with each new episode but we are also pulling for you, dreaming of your success. This boat restoration has become so much more than just a boat getting rebuilt. It is a human interest story. It is a light in otherwise darkened times. You are providing distraction and hope to thousands. Please just keep keeping on. Much love!!
Pete and Leo, thanks for this video, well, for all the videos. This one was a little more special for me. Leo, you’ve showed an amazing thing though this project; communities can be made anywhere and be used for great things. Not just boat building but adding something to the lives of those that work on your project but those that get to watch the skills off all the workers and their willingness to make anything happen. Great job!!! Pete, I loved your story because you show what lack of self-pity can accomplish in this world. I had my right leg amputated in 1964 due to bone cancer at nine years of age. Was very fortunate not to have any reoccurrences and at 66, retired and loving working in my woodworking shop I can say self-pity has not been my style either. Instead of riding the rails I was a bicycle rider. I would put between 2-3,000 miles on my bike every year and even rode across Iowa three times. I’ve built furniture, my entire kitchen, a two story garage with an upstairs wood shop and many other fun things. Thanks for being peg leg Pete. I’ve been called lots of things too and I’m still here happy as can be.
THANK YOU! For everything! It's just so much more than a brief clip on 'the tube'. It's like joining the family. Being part of it. And it's a wonderful family too. I can't really remember how I ended up here but I don't regret it for a second! I just love everything about it. The handcraft, the boat, the pets, the people, the music, the modest and proud (rightfully so!) storytelling... everything! Thanks for including me in this!
Me, being a left hand amputee, a pilot and skipper of a Nordic Folkboat, loved the part, where Pete explains the reason why he wears high boots the most. This guy is so down to earth and a rolemodel for all of us with a handycap ( wich anyway only exists between the ears).
Pete truly typifies "Don't judge a book by it's cover". He appears to be a nice bloke ( His dog likes him too, they are good judges of character) and is definitely a skilled worker.... Good on ya....
Milton Miller has it right. I'm enthralled with these videos and I'm in even deeper now. Pete...you're a cool dude. I'm 62...is that okay to say? Lolol. Leo, you're a great videographer. No seconds wasted at all. Everything was interesting. Rosy, I really like you. I'm a woman who likes to do "man stuff." My generation was just finding it acceptable to see a woman (me) taking parts off salvaged vehicles, building carburetors, etc. My husband was a mechanic and I helped him build engines. I cleaned greasy tools and organized them. I was a junk yard girl. Anyway, you make me so proud! I'm so happy about the tools!!!! Such an honor and well deserved. Y'all take care and stay safe. I look forward to the next video...as always. I love the progress you're making!
The look on the young mans face when he saw the twisted foot! Got to love how gullible he is. Noticed that's not the first time Leo has pranked him. Train him up Leo. Bravo to Pete for putting his best foot forward.
Leo is lucky he found Pete. Pete is lucky he found Leo. We are all lucky we found this channel.
I Agree 100%. I don’t think we’ll ever know how much this channel has inspired the Young and Old to do something amazing, like the rebuild of Tally-Ho. Leo & Pete are quite skilled & are sharing a lot of tips & tricks with us.

Cheers to Pete for the life and successes he's had since his accident and coming out as an amputee.
same here...
Thanks for helping me get it 😂😂
Im not gunna lie, i've never noticed Pete walking funny before and would have never guessed he has prostethic legs. My mind has been blown
Me too
I didn't know sea legs were a literal thing.
I noticed he had a bit of a limp but I never would have guessed he was a double amputee in a million years. Blew my mind.
@@Pow3llMorganLol, I wonder if they are self leveling??
Yes blew my mind too. Never had thought about it, but it is kind of fitting now that i know about it.

Thanks for sharing your story Pete.
That leg reveal was the biggest "What the WTF?" moment I've had since "I am your father" in Empire Strikes Back. Outstanding cinema.
I've never seen Pete as happy as when talking about his shop. I hope the exposure helps drive more work his way once this project is complete.
The picture of Pete outside his workshop will be one for the history books.
@@calholli I vote for "no feet pete" t-shirts first
his little boat is a prize too
I'm pretty sure neither Leo nor Pete will ever have to beg for a job after Tally Ho is finished.

Pete advantages, no athlete’s feet, doesn’t have to trim his toe nails, boots don’t smell, . . . . . . .
'tude is everything, and NF Pete has plenty...
yeah, a pencil! made me laugh. I get a tiny pebble in my shoe and I"m miserable
I'm playing catchup on the Tally ho after discovering it by accident and am now Binge watching. You would never know Pete had no feet.
Pete lived his life as he wanted, had an accident but took responsibility and got on with it. No moaning and groaning that life dealt him bad cards. He has discovered Gratefulness - for being able to bounce back ! He is an inspiration.
People don’t realise, taking responsibility for “your half” of a situation is like a super power.
Excellent comment!!!!
Lets not forget the great job his parents did raising such a great person like him. Pete honors his mother and father as the bible directs.
Yo as someone struggling with my disability, "You can't do everything anyway" are some solid words of meditation for me today.
@PhilippeCROIZON right now.... : "Hold my beer" !-)))
Rosie is also an up coming star. Go girl.
I vaguely recall one video where Leo asked for volunteers, and asked for women and as well as men to come on board. So glad she is on the team. She seems like an wonderful person.
In 1 or 2 early clips of Rosie, you can hear her humming a tune as she works, I became an instant fan.
Honestly, sometimes I get the impression, this project was written by some excellent Hollywood writer. The pick of main cast is beyond imagination :-). Respect!

This is turning out to be more than just a story of rebuilding a classic yacht. This is a classic story in itself.

Far more interesting than the junk that routinely comes out of Hollywood. You have better actors and writers.
I almost fell off my bloody perch, when no-feet Pete pulled his twisted ankle stunt, FFS! As soon as I’d recovered my composure, Rosie proceeded to make me cry, when she promised to pass Jake Jacobson’s tools onto another budding shipwright, all sharp & in beautiful working condition.
Sooo, Pete’s not a stumbling, moody mean person!! He’s just a normal double amputee that is really focused on his work!!! ❤️🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
Just when you were thinking 'there's a lot of darkness around right now' (literally and metaphorically), along comes a Tally Ho film to brighten things up. What a fine selection of humanity, involved in a noble task.
I am happy Rosie became the recipient of all those tools, no doubt she will use them to their fullest potential.
There's something about this episode that sums up the whole essence of rebuilding Tally Ho, the yacht and the people connected to it. Great!
Like the fact that some of the crew members had to be rebuilt themselves
Well said!!!
What an incredible episode!!

One of the best episodes so far. Like Pete said "Its the crew that makes the boat".
And the captain that puts the crew together, well done (again) Leo!
One of the best episodes ever :)
Leo: "Hey Pete. What are you doing?"
Pete: "Just stumping around."
Pete is impressing me more and more in every video. Leo's entire crew are inspiring, as is the Tally Ho project itself. A wonderful community has been growing around this channel and the boat itself. So exciting!
Watching him go from what most people would write off as firewood to something recognizable as a boat is truly amazing! Never been prouder of someone I’ve never met!
Pete is my kind of guy, respect. Great video.
Didn't see that one coming. Mad respect.
This is easily the best series of videos that I have ever viewed. None of the major network programs come close.
What a great episode. No feet Pete, Rosie's tools. Jake Jacobson, And The Viking Rules. Leo's amazing hair. And Oh! Tally Ho. Great content Leo thanks.
Rosie the rivetor no less.
And Pancho???
I admire a man who plays the cards he is dealt and wins with them. Rock on Pete.
What I love the most about you Leo is you as a shipwrights legend creating shipwrights legends!
Hey Pete what you’re doing? Has become a legend of his own because of you!
And I hope your apprentice with her new/old tools will join this group of legends!
What an awesome, inspiring team you have created, we love them all!
YOU ALL HAVE TURNED INTO TRUE ROLE MODELS!🙏👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏💞
Very well said, Samai.
I'll never forget meeting a man who'd lost 4 limbs to diabetes and painted beautiful watercolors with a brush clamped in his teeth. He could light the place up with his enthusiasm for life. I was humbled then as now. Thanks for the unforgettable story Pete and Leo for capturing it. Just when I think this channel can't get any better it does!
You have to admire Pete's sense of adventure. Guess he never gets cold feet.
I went through a very similar injury as Pete although I was able to keep my legs and it was Vehicles not a train but I am now made of medical grade steel covered with my own flesh from my waist down. The doctors said I may never walk again but I now with lots of encouragement and support 2 yaers after and 14 years later am still doing what I did before the accident and it also has made me the person I am now. I tell people all the time its all a mind set and if you think you can't then you won't. Although I live with daily pain and discomfort it's a constant reminder that I can and hearing Pete's story it's a great comfort knowing I share somewhat a connection with a very talented and passionate tradesman. Keep pushing on and know you can.
"No feet Pete". Now that's a nickname us aussies would have come up with. What a great attitude you have Pete after your misfortune. 👍
Fair dinkum mate
naa i think in aussy land he would have been called nostinkyfeetpete;)))
It sounds like a pirate name.
That or simply "Stumps". "No feet Pete" is a bit long for the aussie lexicon.
Rose make sure when you’re done with the tools before you pass them along to attach your photo and name to the box. Continue the tool legacy.
She should get a journal to put in it each page
Should have the picture and some of the things each Individual learned while using the tools and some things about themselves hopefully by the end it's a very long Tale.
Add a tool.basis would be my one rule
That sea chest looked a bit disorganized. Maybe Rose can show her carpentry skills by turning that sea chest into a proper tool chest before she passes it along
@@andrewbowlgarte4738 Great suggestion!
I get it Pete! When in the midst of doing a task, having someone ask you what you are doing means stopping, mentally noting what step you are at, rewinding, explaining it all, then resuming your progress and making sure you didn't miss a small detail. That moment to make sure you can resume leaves a pause easily taken as "grumpy" ... being that person myself, I see it as someone putting their entire focus into their work. Thanks for sharing!
I noticed right away that Pete was a doer and not an explainer. He has gotten a lot better at talking to the camera!
Spot on
Yup, right with Pete on that one too. As a precision machinist and race engine builder I used to work late hours, 12 midday to 10pm or later. That way I'd get at least 5 hours at the bench with the doors closed and no phone going. Everyone was a bunch happier that way 'cause they didn't have to put up with me getting frustrated and grumpy every time I was interrupted. Two of my guys liked working early and leaving early, the other couple were made my way and simply didn't like humans in the morning anyway. We got along that way just fine....Had to train new customers a bit though🤨🤣
Been going through the rebuild from the beginning after starting midway through ages ago. This has got to be one of the best episodes you put together Leo
Pete..."It's the crew that really makes the ship" ...sweet! What a special episode, well done, again. Leo is becoming an ever more charming videographer. I liked the pans around the boat when visiting another yard...literally 'looking' like a shipwright and the charming focus pulls and good use of shallow depth of field around Tally Ho's planking. Pete is a star and Leo showed his appreciation and warmth by highlighting Pete in this episode. The whole Tally Ho project should be nominated for some kind of Menschkeit award.
Leo made the toes comment early on, then as soon as Pete first started talking about train hopping I immediately go, "Yep."
This channel is the simply the most uplifting and positive thing on TH-cam. Wonderful people, working on a beautiful boat and taking us all along on a great journey together.
May they all have fair winds and following seas.
yes, they are so much more than a boat rebuild. A light for us in otherwise darkened times
Wow, I didn't think Pete could impress me more, but then he peels off another layer of veneer... You're an inspiration, Pete.
Thanks for sharing the story about Jake Jacobsen's tools. I sailed with Jake on Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain, and considered him a friend and mentor. It's nice to hear that his legacy continues and the a wee bit of him will be in Tally Ho.
NO DEFEAT PETE.WHAT A MAN.
Your pirate crew is really coming together. You've got a parrot and a guy with peg legs.
Now you just need someone with long hair and an eye patch.
Kidding aside, I enjoyed this episode. I thought Pete was just a camera shy shipwright. I had no idea.
i think leo's hair has got any requirements covered. they've just got to work on the eyepatch.
Also dont forget that Leo tried to cut off his own finger for some pirate swag
I’m not sure if Pete is camera shy or more Leo just likes harassing his crew with the camera.
@@FLOABName Why bring your negativity here? Just don't watch.
maybe Leo can talk Cecca into wearing an eye patch.
“Hey Pete, what are you doing?” On a tshirt????? I’d buy it.
Bril!
Yep --- Great idea.
Me too
excellent idea :) I'm Pete too ;)
hello from germany "wesel am rhein" please print this shirt... :-) and stay safe...
Hats off for Leo’s film making skills, every episode tells a story, and we as the viewers are enthralled. The rebuilding of Tally Ho is a ‘journey’, and with all it’s personal stories, is as interesting as any of her actual voyages.
Yes, Leo is an amazing person. So many talents and so humble. That is unusual today!!
It's going to be fun to watch their "Journey on the big boat, once it's done. He can't ever stop recording now.. lol
5:26 What is that shot at her crotch? What are you trying to tell us?? lol.
Hey Pete, I'm Pete. You rock! Keep on living the life. What an awesome gig you and the rest of the crew have. Cheers!
Pete seems to be from another age.. Like a Jack London character.. Fantastic!
Hey Pete! That’s awesome, I’m celebrating my 1 year anniversary of loosing my leg. I’m a below the knee amputee, seeing this video surprised me and motivated me. Thank you for sharing, love your channel Leo!
Jeremy
Good on you! that is exactly what I mean when i say that this is so much more than a boat build!
Would have never guessed, Pete's quite the guy for accepting the consequences of his choices. It just goes to show that determination and persistence pay's off.
'I've done a bit of sailing' - like saying Lennon and McCartney wrote a couple of songs.
Its called modesty.
@@calholli He is English, after all
@@TheDirtCreature Yeah-- but he's no Canadian.. am i right
Thank you Pete for you’re hard work and positive attitude. I also admire your skills separately!!
I feel honored that Pete would share something so personal. I don't know that I would have been able to do the same thing. He has overcome his challenges in an admirable and honorable way. I had no idea he had prosthetics. I have appreciated Pete's hard work and attention to detail as well as his very respectable boat building skills.
I can't even express in words how much respect and admiration I have for Pete.
EXQUISITE! that shot with the dog, turn away, rack focus, back to dog turning back - pure art.
Yeah, I was also impressed by that shot, looked like a professional documentary.
Agreed! I watched that and backed up a nd watched it again!
I loved that shot too! I've often been working on wood projects outside with the dog, she occasionally looks at me with a "naa, you're doing that wrong mate" look, I do wonder if she had a previous life as a carpenter!
@27:40 but you'll know.
in a series with so much fantastic b-roll it takes a real shot to stand out. That's a good boy.
I would like to thank Pete personally for sharing part of his life story and wish all the best 2021from Benalla Victoria Australia.
From hobart Tas too.
Bundaberg QLD
And Eden NSW.Aus. as well.Such a wonderful gang of people and and a remarkable build.
Melbourne too well said SCS Sarge.
I have watched Leo from the first episode and lived most of life in St Louis I feel a real connection since Pete has joined the crew. Best wishes to all involved. TH-cam is such a magical force. Without TH-cam Leo couldn't build it and we couldn't watch it transform.
EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE - IN EVERY REGARD
I LOVE Pete! He is a: sharp guy, character, multifaceted, one-of-a-kind, First Class Shipright.
Pete deserves his own spinoff show.
Its hard to find a good woman with a box of tools and the Viking law!
😆
lt was the fairest of fair winds that brought Pete to the boat, a peerless asset.
This has gone way beyond simply rebuilding. It's now become a wonderful community that supports not only Leo, but aspiring shipbuilders. What a tremendously great thing. With all the strife in this country right now, this is a breath of fresh air and hope. God Bless!
Just watched this episode don’t know how I missed it. Pete you are an inspiration and a very unique individual. The Tally Ho squad are one of a kind it’s a privilege to watch you all, I send my very best regards to you all.
Pete: a man of few words who expresses himself through his skill.
I'll bet Pete is, or will become, an excellent teacher of those lucky enough to work with him.
A man of few words and fewer limbs. (Sorry, not sorry. XD)
" I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet." Helen Keller... Imagine how much better the world would be if we all had a Pete in our lives.
Thanks Just thinkin. We really do not know, whatever our condition, just how lucky we are. And Leo, always knew Laconic Pete was special. Keep this episode. Save it, share it. It's beautiful,
@@hehted I know how lucky I am. I got fed up with New York state and moved to New Orleans. First doctor I saw didn't like some test results, and 3 weeks later I was in the hospital having the first 18 inches of my colon removed due to colon cancer. That doctor referred to me as "Lucky Bob." I was out of work for about 1 1/2 weeks, returned for 1/2 days, then full days and slept through lunches. No Chemo, and no cancer since. That was in Fall of 2007. That is the very short version of what happened.
Pete's a legend with no leg ends.
Pete is still the man, even if he is no feet Pete. What about that smile Pete had when he was in his shop.
Hey Pete, I'm a double amputee as well. I feel like we have the same attitude. Some people think it makes us weak but, I think it is what makes us strong! I love the videos even more now.
It's not what happens in life that matters...
It's how you choose to deal with it.
Pete could have chosen to go through this bitter and hateful. But he chose the high road.
Pete's a rock star!!!
I'm sitting on my couch grumbling at the crap weather we have been having lately ( I live on Vancouver Island, not to terribly far away from where Leo and Tally Ho are situated)
I get a bit depressed during the winter months. The long dark days, the wind and rain. Puts me in a bit of a mood.
So decided to watch a few youtubes and see what is going on in the rest of the world, maybe I can find something to cheer me up.
Well hell.
Mission accomplished.
I too live on southern Vancouver Island and found this episode to be my favorite yet. Tally Ho and Arabella...It's not a week without both
@@mrmugga11 Have you found Travels with Geordie yet, the other Pete is pretty good too. He is from Victoria
brilliant from start to finish, from "111 year old boat" intro, and "stepping on toes" to "viking apprentice" rosie. thank you rosie, pete and the rest of the crew, but especially leo
As an amputee myself, I had my suspicions, good on you Pete, humour helped me and others cope with life and whatever it throws at us, Great job everyone, Take care from Bonnie Scotland
Watching what is happening in America from outside it is wonderful, uplifting and reassuring to see all these fine young people doing such a great job with skill and humour.
Generosity. I watch this channel because it’s relaxing, satisfying, and it makes sense of a crazy world. I now realize I’m learning what generosity is. Thanks Jake, and thank you Leo, for teaching the world how to think differently.
Pete: Hopefully this in-depth Pete episode satiates all of the Pete fans out there...
Viewers: Y'all got any more of them Pete episodes?
Pete is a winner!!! Truly an inspiring, talented individual. The world needs more Petes.
What a great team. Pete got to become a teacher as he is very good at explaining once he gets going.😎
You are an inspiration Pete. Thank you.
Think this is one of the BESTEST ever. Such a "feel good" vibe.
Thanks for the "human touch" to the last few videos. Always good to see the personalities and stories behind the work. BTW, good job on some new kinds of shots. Some camera angles and perspectives of the boat and shop that we haven't seen before. Good to see that you guys do take some time out to recharge your batteries.
Quality of the footage is very high i think too!
Reg. Pete’s metal socks. Here is a little story from Bosnia right after the war. I was down there wearing green clothes while securing the peace. There was a this young man at the local cafe. You could meet him some nights around the pooltable. Sometimes he would bet people to see who would give up first, taking turns kicking eachother over the shins. He allways won :P
"Son, one day you're going to meet a man who's going to sealed deck of cards, and he's going to bet you that he can make the Jack of Spades leap out of the pack and squirt you in the ear with lemonade. Don't take that bet, for as surely you'll have an earful of Lemonade."
There was a British fighter pilot in WW2 who was unusual as he was short sighted (learned to fly privately before the war). He was a recipient of some of the first contact lenses which were a lot larger than modern ones, covering most of the front of the eyeball.
When he and his friends would go to a pub whenever people realised they were fighter pilots it was nearly guaranteed someone would bring up in conversation how they needed perfect eyesight.
'Rubbish, why my wingman there has a glass eye!... No, I don't care what you've read about the medical he does!... If you're so sure would you like to make a bet?'
The money would be gathered on the bar and as the pub looked on the pilot would call for quiet, pick up a coin and tap, tap on his right eye. Push the money towards the barman and ask for a round of drinks.
'Well I never would have believed it!... Doesn't having a glass eye make it hard to be a fighter pilot?'
"Well yes, but not half as hard" (tap, tap on left eye) "as having this one as well does!"
I generally really like all of Leo's videos but there are a couple that stand out and this is clearly one of them. How do 135 people dislike this? Thank you Leo for taking the time to put this together. Combined with the last video where we got to know the rest of the crew a bit better, it is all just very wonderful. I've supported you on Patreon for a long time now and will continue. You may know this but I'll say it anyway. We are not only entertained with each new episode but we are also pulling for you, dreaming of your success. This boat restoration has become so much more than just a boat getting rebuilt. It is a human interest story. It is a light in otherwise darkened times. You are providing distraction and hope to thousands. Please just keep keeping on. Much love!!
Pete and Leo, thanks for this video, well, for all the videos. This one was a little more special for me. Leo, you’ve showed an amazing thing though this project; communities can be made anywhere and be used for great things. Not just boat building but adding something to the lives of those that work on your project but those that get to watch the skills off all the workers and their willingness to make anything happen. Great job!!!
Pete, I loved your story because you show what lack of self-pity can accomplish in this world. I had my right leg amputated in 1964 due to bone cancer at nine years of age. Was very fortunate not to have any reoccurrences and at 66, retired and loving working in my woodworking shop I can say self-pity has not been my style either. Instead of riding the rails I was a bicycle rider. I would put between 2-3,000 miles on my bike every year and even rode across Iowa three times.
I’ve built furniture, my entire kitchen, a two story garage with an upstairs wood shop and many other fun things. Thanks for being peg leg Pete. I’ve been called lots of things too and I’m still here happy as can be.
Hey Leo, you should sell "Hey Pete, what you doing" Tee shirts. Would help support the build and bring a bit of a laugh into the story.
I would buy one ... or two ... or three, Leo!
THANK YOU! For everything! It's just so much more than a brief clip on 'the tube'. It's like joining the family. Being part of it. And it's a wonderful family too. I can't really remember how I ended up here but I don't regret it for a second! I just love everything about it. The handcraft, the boat, the pets, the people, the music, the modest and proud (rightfully so!) storytelling... everything! Thanks for including me in this!
Hey Pete, when you start projects in your shop I would love to see you with your own channel. I will be there if you do.
Me, being a left hand amputee, a pilot and skipper of a Nordic Folkboat, loved the part, where Pete explains the reason why he wears high boots the most.
This guy is so down to earth and a rolemodel for all of us with a handycap ( wich anyway only exists between the ears).
I love Pete. Would really enjoy buying the man a beer and solving the worlds problems.
“Hey Pete, what are you doing?!” needs putting on a t-shirt with a picture of Pete's smirking face.
Pete truly typifies "Don't judge a book by it's cover". He appears to be a nice bloke ( His dog likes him too, they are good judges of character) and is definitely a skilled worker.... Good on ya....
He ain't no skilled worker by a long shot!
Pete is a craftsman of the highest order.
I immediately liked him, what's there to judge badly as a first impression?
I really enjoyed how proud and happy Pete was to show us his shop.
Milton Miller has it right. I'm enthralled with these videos and I'm in even deeper now. Pete...you're a cool dude. I'm 62...is that okay to say? Lolol. Leo, you're a great videographer. No seconds wasted at all. Everything was interesting. Rosy, I really like you. I'm a woman who likes to do "man stuff." My generation was just finding it acceptable to see a woman (me) taking parts off salvaged vehicles, building carburetors, etc. My husband was a mechanic and I helped him build engines. I cleaned greasy tools and organized them. I was a junk yard girl. Anyway, you make me so proud! I'm so happy about the tools!!!! Such an honor and well deserved. Y'all take care and stay safe. I look forward to the next video...as always. I love the progress you're making!
The look on the young mans face when he saw the twisted foot! Got to love how gullible he is. Noticed that's not the first time Leo has pranked him. Train him up Leo. Bravo to Pete for putting his best foot forward.
… what part of what he did counts as him being gullible?
