EPISODE 152
In this episode we follow a (slightly stressful) day in the boatyard, catching up on the dozens of jobs currently in progress - from the galley to the deck furniture, the rudder, the winches, and so much more. We meet riggers and spar-builders, and even Gandalf the grey stops in to say hi.

What's taters, Precious?
Been watching since day one, I love how funny these recent episodes have become. Love your Channel. Wish I had a group of friends like yours
The ads are great. don't ever change the style
Great video with a lot of good content....Thanks Leo & crew ❣👍
My favourite channel on YT. Can't get enough.
Favorite channel and it’s not even close
Agreed!
@@sacm.d.l8337 Not even close!
Me too!
Hire a an editor and videographer and output 2 or 3 videos a week.
13:30 I was honestly still under the assumption that everyone on the project was volunteering. It's great to hear that you're able to compensate them for the amazing work they do.
That’s probably Leo’s generosity and an effort to keep such craftsmen around. They most likely have bills and lodging and many other responsibilities so they need something to enable them to stick around. All of them could make a fortune with their skills elsewhere so I think the love of the project and respect for Leo keeps them.
The wheels on the bus go ... i lost it, brilliant .. 😂😂😂
I can't believe this channel has somehow gotten BETTER with the addition of sponsorships - these skits are hilarious and really show off the friendship and goofy side of the team
I agree! I look forward to their skits.
Great to see a work crew fart arseing around and enjoying them selves.👍
(even better) :)
Seriously this is the first time I've looked forward to an integrated sponsorship ad. I laughed so hard at Patty's Golem bit. Bravo Leo and crew!
I've been modestly supporting Leo from the beginning. I remember the despair or dismay on his face as he was pulling apart the hulk and I remember thinking to myself, "he needs support." Glad I did. Now it's a big grown-up project and a testimony of perseverance and craftsmanship.
Good on you mate!
awesome man it's great people like you who are committed to helping overs so thank you very much from all of us poor subscribers who wish we had some spare cash to donate to this amazing project so thank you you are amazing.
Me too,and while I’ve had to cut my financial support, I did send a fancy item from the wish list… you can send a wish list item too!
I remember Leo pulling off long planks all by himself with just the help of an old forklift. Tugging and pulling, then jumping down to run the forklift.
I remember thinking this brave lad needs a miracle. It seems a miracle has been delivered. What a testament to the strength of dreams and determination.
Of all the things that impress me about this project the attention to detail stands out. All too often projects of this magnitude can start in a rush where rough enough is good enough. And only towards the end does precision matter. The attention to quality towards the end of this project is consistent with that of the beginning.
Leo's become an outstanding project manager. Any shipyard or boatwork would be lucky to have him.
Dear Cur M.
👍👌👏 Truer words have never been spoken! I hope that great Leo Sampson Goolden will have his own little but high quality shipyard in the future. Of course it must leave him enough time to set sail with Tally Ho from time to time. I really don't know what his plans are. Maybe he just wants to sail and fix boats on different locations in the world? He absolutely loves to work with wood and sometimes we viewers can see how much he misses it. Anyway: I really hope and pray that he will never stop making these awesome videos.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Or Fortune 500 company or government municipality. Imagine if we had leaders who inspired such drive toward common goals. I know, I’m a hopeless idealist.
Patrik having “wheels on the bus “ playing in his head had me bursting out loud in laughter 😂
Thank you for another great video!
The modem sound right before that just killed me. Had to pause until I stopped laughing.
Beeze the bus the bouncing Bus, That bears a shopper store-ward. It's fun to sit In back of it But seats are better forward. Although it's big as buildings are And looks both bold and grand, It has to stop obligingly If you but raise your hand. ...
@@toddgillespie5198 Ditto. Oh, my sides... 😂
As an ADHD person, I love the ADHD references here! :D
I don’t know what your sponsors think of your ad creation, but they are getting their monies worth for sure! These are the only ads we watch on TH-cam. Everyone else’s ads, we skip past them. These are hilarious and we actually remember the products. Great job and very creative.
In my opinion, if Leo made a 30 minute video containing nothing but this amazing woodwork being varnished and then just watching it dry, it would not be boring.
This is the only channel I don't mind having sponsorship sections because of how much fun you guys have with it and how funny they are. Honestly the best channel in YT I think.
Yep. The 'seaside pantomime' approach to the advertising is cleverly done. It gets the message across but takes away all of the unpleasant "BUY THIS OR WE HATE YOU!!!" nonsense that a lot of po-faced, humour-free sponsors (allegedly...) demand.
Definitely a channel to get my mind off the bad things going on. Good to take a break once in a while. There are a lot of very good TH-camrs out there. This one is tops.
Leo, your filming and editing are just so perfect. My personal favorite from this video were the inner thoughts of the guys during the meeting, especially Patty and The wheels on the Bus song. Absolutely hilarious.
I loved the modem connecting, brings so many memories. They was all fun.😅
I’m an engineer and mathematician, and the percentages you noted are just fine if your basis is a 40 hour workweek. And we all can see your workweek is closer to 80-90 hours much of the time, which means you are often at 200% of a normal workweek. So no problem in your use of that >100% application Leo, and I’m sure all your viewers are okay with it. 😊
Blue Nile should be selling pendants and earrings of Tally Ho to hang on a necklace, bracelet or ear.
The commercials are better than the super bowl. I wish you did these sooner
Great to know your assistants are paid! They deserve it for all their beautiful work! It's evident they don't look at it as just a job, but a labor of love!
of course they should get paid. We are paying Leo to have fun making a boat. We need some perspective here. In return he makes great videos
Honestly I'd love to see a whole episode that is just integrated ads and their outtakes. Just do 1 big spar fundraising episode with a bunch of sponsors, it'd be hilarious and would help out the project. You've got a very entertaining group of folks working with you!
And there we have it I have caught up, taken me about 2 months. A truly inspiring channel, not just for the quality of the craftsmanship from the very start but all things boat.
I’ve been sailing for about 3 years on and off with a mate, but recently I have booked a trip on a gaff rigged trawler from 1880, about to buy my first sail boat, got myself a pair of bib and brace overalls and identified a local boat yard with a wooden boat restoration that I can volunteer on to help with a transition to becoming a shipwright.
Thank you Leo and Tally Ho!
Seeing the coordination of energy and effort is terriffic. It takes a real master to keep so many people all working in close proximity and often overlapping space working so efficiently and effectively. This is a great building crew and hopefully all will be able to be on board for her maiden voyage. Tally Ho
@@SonjaBruenzels - That's a mark of people who are enjoying their jobs. I would have loved to be a part of this project. Of course, I don't have a single skill to offer, but I'm still enjoying living vicariously by following along. Wanted to be a sailor myself but life intervened.
It’s never remotely boring Leo. You and your amazing team have come such a long way in creating this incredible boat. Tally Ho may be your vision but equally it’s a shared vision of all who have been and are involved..The craftsmanship is second to none..She will truely be a floating piece of art once finished..
The dialup sound caught me completely off guard and I burst out laughing!
Same, comedy gold lol.
You _HEARD_ that? Thought it was just my tinnitus ~ turned up to eleven!
I would love the dial-up sound for the ringtone on my phone!
Same here. Dial-up gang unite! :))
"Wheels on the bus" for me
Thank you Leo for all you have done here. As a former P.T. resident, it's heart warming to see friends from my years there keeping on with their passion of boat building, see the town remaining fairly intact as I knew it, and the progress of your fantastic project. I follow your videos with great interest.
No need to apologize about the integrated ads, this project is massive and there's a lot to consider. We love the work you all do ❤️
I enjoyed the ad!
Very few channels do I watch the integrated ads... I watch Leo's each time
@@colinwhite6904 i went to skip then remembered what I was watching and decided to watch. Am never dissapointed.
My favorite thing is the love of design. But I can't deny how closely I am watching the team building, and work management aspects of this thing. It looks like it's really working, whilst still respecting everyone.
My father and I always enjoyed watching videos and looking forward to completion. My father passed away last August. I really wished he was still around to see the completion.
I'm sure he'll see it. No matter where he is now. And if he can't see it, I'm sure he'll see it through your eyes. When you're together again someday, you'll paint him a picture with words.
My condolences for your loss.
All the best!
I just watched the latest BOM video and someone said much the same thing. Stops you in your tracks. I wish I could share more with my sons.
Oh he is still watching....
My dad and I watch too
So sad to read this, but at least he had the pleasure and companionship of watching this with his son - as a father myself, I'm sure that meant a lot to him.
I am grateful that Leo found his way to Washington. This project helps to keep the skills and tradition of our local wood boat building industry alive and healthy.
You are right !
When he was trying to build it outdoors next to his friends house in the middle of nowhere I thought he was doing OK but he was dealing with quite a few challenges and when he was told he had to leave I thought it was a major headache ! In fact that was the best thing that could have happened to the project and moving to PT has made a huge improvement in progress, I don't think he would be this near to completion now if he had stayed in Sequim.
It also due to the generosity & mindset of water side property owners, their continued generosity to favor local craftsmanship..verses say a much more lucrative contract with Hyatt or MacDonald's🎈
@@canyonhaverfield2201 Support your local craftsman and your community will benefit.
I would love to have Leo in Devon Western England. We have a wooden boat building heritage but need people like Leo to keep the industry going.
@@davidelliott5843 there’s not enough Leo’s to go around!
Usually, I always watch videos at double speed to be as efficient as possible. Leo's videos are the only ones I watch at regular speed. I enjoy them. They are informative, relaxing, and funny. Leo is a very likable guy, as well as his crew. And I say that as an Alpine resident who has nothing to do with boats.I also usually watch with an ad blocker to avoid the pressure of ads. But Leo has managed to make me look forward to the ads.
Big zoomer energy
@@kylecanavan7967 Wrong generation ;)
i watch at 3x speedd- gotta love my adhd lmfao
Can only agree with your statement
It was a genius move to do something entertaining and not too serious. I feel the same way you do.
Very interesting. Your comic ads are the only one's I don't skip through too.
I found myself going back to episode 19 this morning... the journey to the "deep south" where Leo bought live oak timbers for Tally Ho. I've watched videos many times, reminding myself what an amazing journey Leo has shared with all of us. Tally Ho is becoming a gorgeous sailing boat. I'm glad I've made a modest contribution each month and happy others are supporting this venture as well. I agree, this is really the very best channel on TH-cam. Watching these men and women create such beauty is a delight. Thanks Leo. I loved this overview and look forward to a more detailed look at what is happening right now.
That live oak dude was a national treasure.
I’ve lived in the South around Live Oaks my whole life and haven’t looked at one the same since watching that video. I’ve re-watched that one multiple times and also the ones where Leo does the joinery on those massive Purple Heart beams. (Those are just woodworking porn😅)
It's great that we men have a space of our own still, almost anyway. That said, they sure are gifted craftsmen for sure.
Never boring Leo! Incredible craftsmanship. Well done
Leo: NEVER boring mate! Spectacular work. 🇨🇦
Leo is a rock star. His exceptional journey is a case study in passion and endurance. I hope he keeps producing videos when Tally Ho is plying the seas.
Amazing job to all of you, thank you so much for bringing this to the world.
When I first found you, I binged watched every episode until I caught up. Now, I wait impatiently every week for your updates. This series is amazing and so informative. Your crew are amazingly talented in every aspect of what they do. Thanks for sharing.
The Sampson Boat Ad Agency hits a home run with another great ad.
You and everyone is doing a fabulous job, we can’t even imagine how difficult it is to capture all the details, having said….your doing a fantastic job trying to convey everything, and lastly for the ads… very entertaining
Y'know my wife and I looked at buying Tally Ho many years ago when she was still in the water in the harbor at Chetco River, I think. I've followed this project from the beginning and I'm glad you took this on instead of me, Leo. Keep on keepin' on...best commercials on the internet, by the way.
And the best comments, too.
This ship is a sculptural and designer work of art created by a group of unusually talented people, with exceptional skills.
I absolutely love this channel, the crew, the project…I feel personally invested in it and I’ve never even seen the boat or met anyone working on the boat. The videos bring me joy, unlike so much of the worlds so called “entertainment”.
Leo has to be one of the hardest working individuals on you tube. Always self introduced as a “boat builder and a sailer”, but in truth, he is so much more. He’s a both a boat builder and sailer, but he’s a documentary film maker, a producer, a camera man, an editor. He also is a CEO, CFO, CTO, Human Resources specialist, project coordinator, public relations specialist, accounts payable and accounts receivable specialist, supply manager, and historian. Leo is a craftsman and detail wood worker on top of all this. It’s remarkably impressive the talent and skills wrapped up in this one person. And of course, it can only be accomplished because of his Passion. When you have passion, all those skills not directly tied to the thing you’re most passionate about, but necessary to accomplish that which you are passionate about, you naturally figure them out.
Leo is essentially working 3 jobs with great skill, when he’s finished and he launches Tally Ho, that will be the best and most deserved “vacation” ever (but we all know sailing a boat and maintaining a wood boat is not a vacation LOL).
Thank you Leo for bringing us all along on this magnificent journey.
Glad you included historian in your list. Some commenters write, "This is no longer Tally Ho" but I disagree w/ them !
@@frederickstibbert7389 is this a “Ship of Theseus “ debate?
Leo addressed that early on. His reasoning was because he replaced the parts one at a time, it counts as the same boat. Works for me!
@@frederickstibbert7389 oh my goodness, I never read the comments section, if I have something to say, I say it (only if positive and affirming) and move on. I can’t believe people are taking issue with Tally Ho, not being “Tally Ho”. That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard. It’s a 100 + year old boat that needs love and restoration, replacing the boards and screws does not remove the boats provenance. Now I’m glad I don’t read comments lol. Blessings to you sir.
Good to see you guys haven't lost your sense of humor.......the Blue Nile segment was priceless....... cheer's to you too ....
damn, wish I was a lottery winner, I would straight take care of this.
Not going to lie, this episode kind of stressed me out, but I was blown away to find out that everyone is being paid and it's not a volunteer supported operation anymore. Big props to everyone that volunteered and made such huge efforts towards this build.
It's so incredibly complicated to rebuild something this involved, and mind boggling expensive to outfit it with the most future-facing technology deployed by incredibly experienced and skilled builders (Joe systems and Pat furnishing). Sad to see Pete and Richard go, but the current crew is super invigorating and highly skilled for this phase (systems, deck and finishing)
Best of luck Leo, this has been amazing, I am now caught up and will follow along with the rest of the addicts.
Not to worry, Leo. You haven't made a boring video yet, and I don't think that it is possible :)
Yes, Leo, this video was most pleasing to watch. It gave a real sense of the scope of the project and a sort of sign post to all the directions to look forward to. 10/10.
I don't sail or have ever spent much time around boats, however I stumbled upon Leo's videos over 4.5 years ago and to this day I'm amazed at the fine craftmanship skills of each and every talented member of the team that ever worked on on Tally Ho. The sheer magnitude of taking on a project like this is life changing. Leo is a skilled boat builder, sailor, story teller, and now, director of some of the funniest ad's I have ever seen. One of my favorite videos is -Milling Live Oak in the Deep South - Rebuilding Tally Ho EP19, with Steve Cross. Steve is as authentic as they come.
Same. I just rewatched EP19 yesterday and always love to hear Steve reading the poem! :)
I can't hear the words "white oak" in the same way ever again.
Me too!!!
Agreed, and I've watched the live oak video many times. Steve's a national treasure and he follows the progress I'm sure.
That's the very episode I found this project! Watched every episode since...so its crazy to think its been so long. What an amazing project and effort by so many, especially Leo.
The only TH-cam channel where I actually watch the ads and don't skip them. Would be great if we could free up Leo's time to do some wood work rather than the office work, you need an assistant.
This boat is hands down the best hand made craft in the world
To say youve come a long way since this started is an understatement. But the fact that you have a group of master crafstpeople on the team that you trust to see your vision through, and who also seem to get along and work great together, is a joy to see. Its a beautiful thing you've built, and the boat isn't too shabby either. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
One might think that it would be old hat by now, but every single week I am amazed at the level of joinery on this project (e.g. 3:58). The craftsmanship demonstrated throughout the Tally Ho restoration is a thing of beauty.
You've come a long, long way since it was just you hammering out the keel bolts all alone in the dark. WOW! It's been a fun journey. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
The fact that you pumping out a video every two weeks without a fail for so many years now alone is an outstanding achievement and shows in essence your work ethic. I dread the day the boat is done …
Bravo your sentiments but Tally ho will always need work and maintenance, it's the nature of a wooden boat, yes I agree there will come a time when we can longer watch all the amazing craftsmanship in one place at one time, but I think we all agree Leo needs to kick back and sail his work of art.
"Talky ho" "Tally ho" ................
I really liked this format of video. The story is more fluid, and I can understand the progress of the boat better. Well done Leo!
Well, that's twice with the promise for the spars not happening, first was the dinghy auction PITA.
Keep going Leo, things WILL work out!
Loving that gutter! Great video Leo, very informative!
I can’t imagine the stress that must come from the logistics and planning, but primarily from the financial tightrope you have to walk to keep the project alive.
To be able to continue being a wry, gregarious personality through all that stress might be one of your most admirable feats yet!
In case anyone was wondering, his truck 'had' 162,327 miles at the time of recording. Not that it matters, other than as a fun fact, and shows my pause game in on point. Support if you can, watch these videos and share them if you cannot, and Tally Ho!
My Tundra has 221K, the oil shop guy came up to me at the last change, with his finger wiping the end of the dip stick... oh no what's wrong I thought !!!! ... He said I have never seen such clean oil... great....sounds like its good for another quarter million miles !!!
Hey, Leo and crew! In June I'll be sailing a Nicholson 38' from Hawaii to ... here! Our intended landfall is Port Townsend. Hope to catch a glimpse of Tally Ho from a distance, without disturbing/interrupting! 😀
This is just such a fascinating world filled with truly dedicated, talented and hardworking craftspeople. Keeping the traditional skills alive and passing them on.
As much as everybody is eagerly awaiting the completion of Tally Ho and seeing her in her element ,I for one( I'm not alone) will miss seeing the skills of Leo and his crew of artisans and craftsmen.
Leo should be proud of their work and dedication.
It has been pleasing to see how Leo and the older craftsmen have nurtured and developed the younger members of the crew, past and present.
Bravo Leo
Phil from OZ
I hope your advertisers know that we all fast-forward to find your endorsement enactments!
All great content. I'm sure you would rather be working on the boat, but we appreciate your hours of editing work to share with us.
It was so nice to see the people behind the work and their own stories.
It's been so awesome watching this boat go from a sad rotting thing into this beautiful thing you've remade by hand, please let us know if your doing a launch ceremony at the end so I can come!!! I live super close!!! :D
Just a beautiful "restoration" of Tally Ho. I am so looking forward to the final finished yacht 🙂
Sorry it has been rebuilt not restored
@@paulswebba That is why I put in quotes 🙂
@@paulswebba A lot of semantics goes into that discussion how to classify it. Some say as long as the boat always kind of resembles a boat at all time, it's a restoration. But it's kind of pointless in the end of course, since the boat will be completely new besides a couple of old reused woods.
Yes he does say "rebuilding" now and not the original restoring, which was impossible. I would say "Reincarnating".
For the first time in a long time, I have read down through the comments on this video and I have realised that an awful lot of people really love your video style, the same as I do. I don't quite think you realise how important this episode is going to be in this series. It encapsulates all of the strands of this mighty project in a short nutshell of clips and statements and the comments show you have a strong following. More power to you Leo. 125% is what it makes to do something like this - most people could never come close, even on a good day, never mind the years you have committed to. Best wishes to you and all of the crew.
PS I just donated again so anyone reading this bit, think about dipping into your pocket to keep the project rolling along. DM. cheers
PPS If any of you out there promise to do something in a fit of euphoria, remember, NOT doing it causes real hardship. Say it, Do it.
Many skillful people working on many projects. Well done Leo I think you touched on them all. I can't wait for the mast, spars & rigging, that will be SO interesting. That's when it will look like Tally Ho.
I've watched from the beginning, and I can say that for myself there has never been a boring episode. Every aspect of this project has been fascinating.
I agree. Even the technical videos like the one on lofting were fascinating. The fact that I now know what lofting means and could do a passable job at explaining it is a testament to Leo’s ability as a teacher. I know he’s talked about one day opening a school and he’d be great at it. (After some years spent sailing Tally Ho around the world)
A school in Teignmouth (near Exeter), Devon England would be outstanding. The wooden torpedo boats and harbour defence launches were built here during WW2. Of course I have no clue if it’s actually viable. It’s just my thinking, because I live nearby.
Let's...
Any boring episode. Well, it was some drilling and tapping, so some boring.
But it has all been gay and fun, all through.
One of the best channels I follow on YT, two have I been lucky enough to following from the start. This and Wintergatan.
Your avertising team keeps getting better and better. Special props to Gollum and his team.
This the only channel where I watch the sponsored segments in full. You guys are absolute legends :))
You and your crew are my absolute favorite on youtube in the way you present commercials for supporting product companies. Everyone else seems to be serious about it and quite willing to blow smoke at it's loyal viewers in order to get the support.
Love it!
I usually fast forward through most commercials on TH-cam, but not Leo's. I appreciate the humor and the imagination that goes into every one of them.
Leo when the boat is finished, the commercials you guys do are hilarious and you should get a comedy routine together, you guys would definitely be a smash!!
Great episode as always, illuminating to see just how much work is going on day-to-day!
Makes me die a little inside to think how many people won't understand the dial-up modem reference though 😅
Hello Leo and Gang, very informative video and your Blue Nile Add was hilarious. Loved it .
Cheers, Michael from Sunny Sandspit on Haida Gwaii.
Here is a whimsical question😊….Have you given some consideration to having made a ships figurehead with some nautical significance? Probably over the top but hey it would be an eye catcher and a good story to tell fellow shipmates ☺️ cheers 🇨🇦✅
It’s great that you’re committed to growing the wooden boat building community. Could you give us an idea of your monthly payroll (I understand this may be a sensitive issue)?
Really fascinating video - used to be a project manager in development assistance so yes, one of the invisible people that make something whole in the end. Hang in there Leo it’s not always glamorous but it’s essential
I clicked Thumbs Up at the end of the Blue Nile ad. Sod the boat, let's have more Tally Ho Players' Guild!
P.S. the gangway hatch is bee-yewtiful! Nice work Pat!
I so look forward to every other Saturday and wait anxiously for Leo's post. I've been following for over 3 years, fancy myself as a pretty good woodworker/joint builder. My work can't hold a candle to the intricacy of the joints/fits these craftsmen and artists turn out. While I can't wait to see Tally Ho under sail, I will be sad to see the day when she is completed. Phenomenal work team and crew of Tally Ho, you are making history.
Love the channel! The “Blue Nile” advert… did not realize that you were building the boat in Middle Earth!
I'm loving that dovetail joinery. 😍
Great job Leo
Having lived in PT off and on it was a bit nostalgic. Love the bright work completed and the morning meeting was truly inspiring. Joiner work is also impressive. Have a great day Leo and gang.😊
That ad was perfect.
I really liked this video! It was nice to get an overall update.
The fit and finish is stunning from all the Tradesman and Trades Lady's. Really fun to watch. Thank you.
Your crew is great, Leo! Skits and all. I will be happy for you when the project is finished, but sad because there will be a hole in my Saturday TH-cam viewing. Bummer about the person promising to fund the spars and then backing out. There is a special place for people like that. Thank you for taking the high road! Blessings, all.
I just Cannot get enough of these videos. Consider uploading long form videos of single builds. I would watch a 3h + build of anything if the camera is mounted at an okey angle. Perhaps that would be extra youtube income for a low amount of extra work?
"Office work." To the "boat builder and a sailor," you should now include, bookkeeper, project manager, payroll clerk, purchasing agent, camera operator and video editor.
It sucks that you have gotten away from the woodworking and ship building, but it's the only way a project that size can get done.
Your team fit, like the incredible joints they make. People like that don't grow on trees, you are blessed.
Great look at the project! I have to say I’m in awe of Clifton and the other gentleman making the companionways and hatches etc. Just stellar work. And the others are also great craftsmen and interesting characters. Paddy is right about Tuesday😂. Tuesdays have no redeeming value.
I cracked up during that bit where you had your meeting :) Thanks for sharing.
Lookin good Smeagol!
Edit: man i wish i was able to help fund this project. Barely getting by as it is 😅. Hope all goes well for you regarding the spars
Watching to the end of every video and liking them contributes thru TH-cam payments, so, there’s that.
@@christopherpardell4418 yea i have yt premium so my views do help with revenue
Bruce was a treat! Love these old men, getting excited about a great piece of old wood.
Thank you, Leo, for the happiness to the heart. Great laughter and fun for all of you.
I love watching this project I've been following it from the start. it's got me interested in boat building . So thanks 👍
Great stuff! I think we all knew everyone was busy, but to actually see it in a BTS fashion really confirms it. Lovely work and amazing talent!
Not at all boring, Leo. Fascinating to see all the work being done by your crew, in your shop and in various locations around the area. Thank you for sharing it all with us.
This video actually did answer a lot of questions I have had over the past several months. Rock on.
Nice job Leo. It has most definitely not been boring. I have enjoyed this video equally as well as all the other videos. Always enjoyable to catch up with the crew and what is going on. Thank you for the videos. They are helping me deal with down time while I am on the mend from surgery I had in January.
This is just a little reminder to Leo, that I and the multitude of others who await tremulously the next installment of Tally Ho and then devour avidly said installment, (when it arrives) is more appreciative of these than perhaps you understand and absolutely more in awe of the tenacity and sheer bloody-mindedness required to stick with; and irrespective of many negative happenings (in the background) remain effusive and positive in the face of..............well, anything and everything, well done Leo.
You said it. This is a project we're passionate about from afar, and I think everyone watching wishes they could spend a day hanging out in the yard with you and the team.
This comment, and the host of similar ones, made me add mine. Leo does so much we will never see or hear about. I added an extra donation on the top of my regular ones. This is a mammoth project in so many ways. Absolutely love it. Well said John.
Thanks Leo, that was very interesting, and these integrated ads are a real hoot 🤣
