EPISODE 62.
In this episode I start by adjusting the position of some of the frames, and fairing them all on the inside. Then I cut and fit the scarph joins on the big 6-1/2” x 3” Angelique timbers. Along the way, I do a stress test on the 28’ long timbers by parking a vehicle over each end, and jacking up the middle with a 20 ton bottlejack. The chickens and Pancho the parrot lark around as usual.

Oceans, the final frontier
These are the voyages of the SV Tally-Ho
Its five year mission
To rebuild with new woods
To seek out new skills
And new friends
To boldly go where no shipwright has gone before
I doubt tally ho would have the call of sv (science vessel) to be honest. Depending on home port most likely ss (sailing ship) if any depends on her call sign designation which leo probably knows.
Hmmm I thought “SV” meant Sailing Vessel... not Science Vessel... but what do I know? LOL. Oh and the whole “Star Trek” thing is clever, enjoyed that!
@@jacilynns6330 SV stands for Sailing Vessel. SS stands for Submarine.
@@webbtrekker534 "SS" stands for Steam Ship.
@@webbtrekker534 SS also stands for steamship as well. As for sv the ship on youtube sv seeker is sv for science vessel. I believe he refers to it as a motor sailer instead of a sailing ship. There is a lot of conflicting information as it seems to change at port of registry. There is icebreakers with sv and ss registry and are neither subs or sailing ships.
This is the only TH-cam channel where I really enjoy reading most of the comments. It mostly attracts a lot of positive exchanges which I think says a lot about the person responsible for the channel. Cheers and peace to all!
Agreed, and you get the same positive quality, for the same reason, over on Essential Craftsman...
Good people attract good people. I can't recall a negative comment, to date. It helps me to continue my faith in others.
Leo and Cecca are so inspiring. How I wish I had done something like this
Is it just me or do other people find it strangely satisfying watching how beautifully Leo’s chisel cuts through the timber as well?
nah, gets me too
Paul Viles yup. Cuts just like butter. Very satisfying.
Yep, would like a looping video to play on our big screen TV instead of a fireplace video.
Absolutely masterful and loving! He is a uniquely talented man, the kind I would, without hesitation, entrust with my life! His calm, dedication is amazing!
Working with a sharp chisel in green timber is one of the delights of life.
"I'm not going to be to precious with these joints." Pulls out hand planer. Planes wood till it looks like glass.
The one thing he should make sure is that all this beautiful, precision-joined wood never gets wet...
That is some gorgeous wood.
@@christiangeiselmann Ha Ha.
@@christiangeiselmann Actually it,s a boat... ;-)
I was thinking the exact same thing: Wonder what it would look like if he was being precious about it...
Leo goes at these scarf joints more like a cabinet maker than a carpenter
Considering that the name carpenter is being used by people who are not even close to being a carpenter, or that most cabinet makers would not bother with good joints since its plywood and pocketscrews, that statement may be taken as an insult.
Proper term would be shipwright.
I was a cabinet maker now machinist and I look at Leo's attention to detail like he's machining the wood. The skill, knowledge and work ethic is a rare thing in guys his age
@@paddyboy1959 skill and knowledge is rare even in machinist field now. Many are just programming cnc and have very little experience with hands on machining. I have my mini mill and southbend 9 for what little jobs I need. Just got a chinese facemill for mill for resurfacing stuff. Doable if I do a really fine cut of 1 or two thou.
And note that contrary to steel, wood is non-isotropic which is an added complication.
A scarf needs to be tight especially in green timber. Nothing wrong with attention to detail as a conservation carpenter I’d soon be out of work with out it.
Taking a glance back what this old lady looked like when you began on her restauration, you have come a seriously long way, keep up the steam, you are doing a wonderful job.
MidnightAmratha and all completed in a restaurant?
And nary one of the old boards were left on her. LOL It has been a wonderful build mate.
You have no idea how much you give to how many folks whom do not have the means to help your endeavours yet who believe so strongly in what it is that you’re doing bless you sunshine You’re beautiful.
Drinking that Rainier beer like a Washington Native.
I guess if you like drinking your own urine...LOL!!! ;-)
@@petezaparty5965 I've done that (yellow can black letter generic beer) I was sick for two days.
If I remember right, Rainier is not very flavorful but it isn't bad. I've been sober for 27 years so my opinion maybe outdated.
Vitamin R!
@@fartohard Good for you being sober for 27 years! For myself, if Rainier was the only beer I had to drink, I'd be sober too. ;-) Have a great Christmas
Nothing like a Ranier and a Jack at Hattie's Hat. Not picky about my hops.
A beautiful, laughing woman full of whimsy is a wonderful sight. You, sir, are a very lucky man.
“Vital that l don’t mess these up too much.”
Cut to chainsaw.
Jeeezzzz you have guts.
Cut "proud" and then trim to size! What's the difficulty in THAT!?
No wooden boat in history has been built/rebuilt with such skill, love, and attention to detail as Tally Ho.
this work would be like taking every framing member of a house, each stud, joist and rafter and planing it before use. labor of love. the consideration of the boats curvature on multiple planes is mindboggling.
Leo, by the time you're done with Tally Ho - you'd have made plenty of us here as armchair shipwrights.
Merry Christmas bro!
A scarf for Christmas is better than socks :-)
ColinWatters what about a rabbet ?🐇😉
ten points
Oh, behave! :-)
debatable
And just like that Leo is now a Northwest local as he drinks his Rainer!
Leo, your attention to detail as a shipwright at such a young age amazes me. I have built many boats and homes but your knowledge base and abilities are that of a craftsman four times your age. Watching your Vlogs is a wonderful and sometimes marvelous adventure and learning experience to even my 67 years young. I wish I could take time out to help you in your endeavor to rebuild Tally Ho. Wishing you good fortune and smooth sailing from the Galilee in Northern Israel. Thank You for providing such a wonderful visually enchanting mission, it is a work of art.
I thought that there was a fowl audience at the start and then realized that they were just getting out of the rain. I am truly amazed every time I watch the new video of how much work is going into this project. The problem with editing does not do justice to how much time Leo takes in his sawing, chiseling and fitting of the timbers. So much accomplished by one person. Let's not forget all those who have been there to help at different times. With comments from all over, this to me is a world project although most of us are watching but we are a part as well as we hold our breath as the chisel shaves closer to the line and a piece is carefully placed in position. I am sure all of us wish Leo and Franceshca (sorry for spelling) a very happy Christmas and safe New Year. We will be here waiting in 2020 for the next installment.
a like for the animals
Just lovely!
Two people, a dog, a parrot and some chickens! That's running really tight on labor. This could take a good part of your life to complete. I admire your persistence.
Quite incredible to see where you sre today vs. when I first started watching. I know nothing about sailing or boats but love watching craftsman and woodworking in general and this is absolutely one of my favorite channels.
Watching leo do all this work is always inspiring. At a guess, if you include the time he has put into tally ho, those who helped do work, all the wood he has purchased so far. This is already a million dollar, or pound boat. In the uk for example, rebuilding a boat such as tally ho would be done by a team of workers working together for a long period. Usually the same people but sometimes not. Still he is constantly doing the work of five people by himself for most part.
This is all old style boat building. Hand finished joints without the use of epoxy or resins to assemble all the frames and shelves, beams ..etc. There is a LOT of names for everything.
Her design is to shift with the sea, without leaking much if at all, instead of sealing out the sea with a rigid structure(more modern fiberglass, concrete, or epoxied boats) There is a reason behind all those frames being so big. The whole of the ship is designed, perhaps over designed, to shift with the sea but not loose fairness or her lines in the process. Something metal ships cannot do. If you look at older metal ships that have been pulled from water there is enough pressure, in tons, to buckle and compress steel plate 1/2 in thick or better. (I believe the battleships are over 4 inches thick and they bent)
I have been slowly building my own sailing canoe for shallow water. To do such(i have never built anything like this before) I had to study a LOT of ships design and how they work. Yet after months of studing designs I dont have even a little of what Leo already knows and is putting into tally ho rebuild.
If you cant 'get' what I am saying. Look at all the designs of wooden boats from kayaks to skiffs to dingies, to small sail boats, to large sailing ships. They you begin to appreciate just how much work he is REALLY putting into this. I would not even begin to attempt this myself. Yet Leo has not only rebuilt other ships before tally ho but helped to build new cutters as well.
4" on a Battleship would be considered thin! Hulls a foot thick steel and torpedo belts over 3 feet thick at minimum.
I've only worked on a few smaller wood boats. I restored my 1951 Chris-Craft. The power of water is incredible.
@@GregTrickey oh cool chris craft are beautiful boats.
@@jacilynns6330 Thanks for the comment! I looked back and realized my comment was kind of short and sweet. But, didn't really convey what I was trying to say.
I meant that I agreed with your comment 100%. My little 18 foot Chris Craft, even though it took a lot of work, is laughable compared to what Leo is doing. I do know that building a boat from the ground up, from plans, is much easier than restoring one.
I've built a few new wood boats from plans, and I would much rather do that than restore an old one like my '51 CC. Even then, it's no small job!
Post up some videos of your canoe!
I need to make some new videos of my boat since I've gotten it in the water!
Just as I was thinking, is a new vid up yet!! Have a great Christmas and a happy New Year and thanks for making every other weekend an exercise in watching quality YT content!
Merry Christmas :)
Sampson Boat Co Cheers! At 17 mins so far😀
Hello leo
Can you make a video of just sharpening tools. Merry christmas
To you dovs
Regards Erik
My utmost respect to any man or woman who can pull off a build like this while escaping the burnout factor. I built a 1" to Foot (60' Hull) Cutter "Comet" (1809) model from hard wood (which I still have) and it almost killed me. Wish I had the youth to build the full scale but age has caught me now. My hat is off to you Sir and the Lady as well. Bravo.
Hardest working man on the planet. We should all have your work ethic!
Leo MUST get his own pet parrot when Tally Ho sets sail or i'll be thoroughly disappointed
Or chicken.
I hope he can take poncho/pancho with him when he first sails Tally Ho even if it's not his
Deftones Dsm Pancho may stowaway!
@@kiwicami287 It would only be right.
he will have to lose and eye and an leg during construction to get the full pirate thing going!
I'd never heard of Angelique before but man that is a beautiful wood!
Skullers Rowing - Neither did I until a few weeks ago but as they say learn something new each day and you will be a wise man when you grow old and gray
Love watching the chisel work and the hand planning. Craftsmanship 👍
Thank you for including your thoughtful theory on forces in the boat. You are a great educator, in addition to your very fine wood and video work.
That is some really impressive woodworking. Attention to detail!
Likin' the music here. Killer vid.
Beautiful work,beautiful smile ,cheka ,enjoy your holiday
Cecca.
Nothing nicer than a good sharp hand plane in action
Hey Leo, I really like your videos. I have watched every one (up until this point) while taking care of an 8 month old. Some of my fav highlights include: the dichotomy of accents from buying the Georgia wood, the production framing, lofting... dude I really just love them all. I've built a few glen L boats and can attest to the magic of a wood boat. I wish I could help out w the build... but I have to be a dad. Keep on keeping on!
I'm certainly no expert, but I suspect the reason you are able to get so much flex out of those timbers, other than the green-ness, is the shear length of them. There's plenty of body to spread out the stresses introduced. I'm sure I'm entirely wrong, but it makes logical sense to me. Lovely job on the scarf joints. My main takeaway form this one is a severe case of chisel envy. 😄 Thanks for sharing!
You're not wrong, ever tried bending a small branch ? It most likely will break, now try with a longer one, that one most likely will take more bending to break
I was thinking I want a screen saver gif showing Leo's chisel work.
His chisels are constantly sharp because he takes the time each and every day - and most likely throughout the day - to make them so. That's craftsmanship at its best!
Seth Galitzer lol chisel envy
Pancho dancing to the beat of some great music! =)
Such patience. Such workmanship.
Damn, this kid is good.
Leo is a "Mans Man" not many young men have this talent and drive.
The forklift is one of the best tools in the yard! I've been trying to tell Acorn to Arabella that once they get one they will never know how they lived without out it... C'ourse - it can become an addiction.... I won't mention how many forklifts I have...… Once you get a 4x4 forklift with side tilt - then your really living! One with 8' forks is amazing too - unload both sides of the truck from one side! It's amazing what more than one forklift working together can do.....
You will notice that even thought the forklift is the most important tool in most yards that people never take care of them...
They just wait till it breaks and then are panicked when all work comes to a halt!
I knew there were some real scumbags out there, but a forklift addiction? You sir should be ashamed of yourself. Just imagine what your poor mother would think, you would never hear the end of it!
My uncle is a farmer. He could not live without a pork lift.
@@paulchilders9969 She was horrified especially when I saved the TD18 30+ thousand lb bulldozer from the scrap man - but I did a huge amount of work with that... She passed few years ago so luckily is spared from more horrification..
The throwback Rainier Beer joins the party.
Amazing tribute to what is possible with rationality and willpower.
Weekend saved!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.! As I watched you working this time I couldn’t help but notice the beautiful wood you’re working , along time ago i assisted for a while in what, the Americans would call a inlay shop but the rest of the world would call a Marquetry Shop the Master could get those woods but the rest of us could only wish. Now I’m 80 and stuck in this bed and still only dreaming. I love your show it is by far my favorite show. When ever it’s late I worry about you and the rest of the gang. Having worked in aa boat yard my main worry of course is fire. The yard I was working at was torched and it put us out of business. Hope you have a great Holiday Season.
Jimmy, I wish you many more years of intense, happy dreams! ;-) Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Jimmie, and thanks for watching! I do take great care and have a lot of fire extinguishers and alarms, but yes it is still always a worry. Leo
Right behind you Jimmie. Not sure I even have a cabinet build left in me much less a ship. God Bless the young and energetic. Let’s not forget they benefit from an an audience!
An absolute craftsman and a class act. Great work sir.
showing off chiseling end grain so neatly!!!!
Happy holidays Leo. Safe Travels and have a Safe and Productive New Year.
Pretty sure 'Christmas' is acceptable in this case.
It has been close to 40 some years since I used any Angelique. I had forgotten what a lovely wood it is. Back in my day it was being touted as a cheap substitute for Teak and was hard to find. It still wasn't cheap back then. Worked nice and finished quite nicely. I should have made my scarfs longer as they were a bit troublesome. Mine were used similarly except they were used externally as rubbing strakes on a steel hull. Same twist and shear issues. Thanks. Have a very Merry Christmas and New Year.
Working the silent chores at night to maintain neighborly relations. Ever the diplomat.
Your knowledge and experience in this subject is quite amazing
Yes! Two weeks feels like a lifetime
I am floored by the cinematography in this particular video. I've been a longtime viewer, but there were 3 or 4 sequences where I found myself in awe about how beautiful everything you're doing is. Happy Holidays!
That stuff takes on such a polished finish just from being planed.
We who cannot do much else but just else but to believe it in you stand back and state the belief that you have made possible in the greater community is awesome. Thanx so much for all that you do most of us can’t do any Finns but luv ya 2 bits
26:27 moment when a master carpenter is contemplating and nodding of his work. “Well done !”
Love to watch the work you’ve accomplished.
Great choices of music as ever.
Among other things, that distinguishes you from other channels, and make your videos all the more pleasant.
That jigged chainsaw just gives me the willies.
You are truly a master artisan!!!! As well as a Master Shipwright..you rock man!
Making the chickens walk the plank? Merry Christmas.
There's something endlessly satisfying about fast-forward chiseling.
Leo. Outstanding!!! Your scarf joints are works of art and structurally beautiful. I could watch your chisel work for hours.It is strangely therapeutic. I do appreciate very much your fasting forwarding during filming. It makes for enjoyable viewing but does downplay how long it actually takes to make a joint well fitting. All the best to you and yours at this year end. Enjoy your travels and we will see you when we see you on TH-cam.
It makes you appreciate how sharp those chisels are and the time it takes to maintain that sharpness. I am a woodworker and much respect for his work.
18:48 those are some well fed chickens
been watching since the beginning .... Merry Christmas to you. Hope this finds you surrounded by those you love and fully immersed in the sounds and sights of the season. Peace and Joy
that keel in the background is lookin gorgeous
Did anyone else think of sheriff Longmire at the sight of that Rainier beer? :) What beautiful pieces of wood and exceptional scarf joints. Inspiring!
I sure hope we get notice when it's going to set sail... I so want to see it.... it's going to be gorgeous :)
Merry Xmas Leo the legend from here in Sydney Australia
Best boat builder on TH-cam.
A nice scarf is an ideal Christmas present.
Terrific woodworking Leo! I must say that the Scarf joints that you cut were definitely more demanding than the one that I had to cut when I made an Acoustic guitar a few years back. Your boat building expertise is truly mind boggling! Have a wonderful & safe Holiday season. 👍👍
P.S. Just made a little donation to the cause & I hope that everyone else who watches your videos will do the same!
10:57 - good to see you're using quality tools :-)
It is a beautiful sight to see very sharp tools used well on very tough tropical exotic timber. (Paul Viles, I wrote this before seeing your comment!)
Excellent woodworking skills my late Grandfather was a carpenter on the new liners that were made in Liverpool back in the 40's and 50's for the transatlantic run .
When it comes to some of the terminology I'm with the chooks, what-what-what....whaaaaat! Merry Christmas Mate.
You Sir are a Master of detail. Outstanding video once again. Happy Holiday
THE best music channel on TH-cam. Nice boat building action too.
HI LEO. ONE OF YOUR MOST EXCITING VIDEOS!! HAND SKILLS, VIDEO, AND MUSIC!! WELL DONE. YOU TWO, LOOK AFTER YOURSELVES
Very clever the way you put that edge set in the timber! The fit on that second scarf joint was superb. Have a great Christmas holiday, you (and Cecca) work incredibly hard and we love your videos.
Love watching you do your thing; very quiet and zen. As a suggestion and as a woodworking hack, I love your hand tools but much appreciate the condition and sharpness. Do you mind if I ask how you maintain them and perhaps you can do a video of your maintenance and sharpening routine. A sharp chisel in a steady trained hand is a thing of beauty to watch and many laymen who are watching will be interested to know how you preform the former. Cheers and Happy Boxing Day,
I wondered the exact thing: What's the maintenance and sharpening routine for all the blades you use? Your chisels and hand planes are razor sharp. Satisfying to watch them cut.
Good idea! I'll do that one day. Although these days I usually just use a Tormek, which is very quick but out of many peoples budgets. But I got pretty good at sharpening other ways before I had it too, so I could run through various ways.
@@SampsonBoatCo Seeing you use a Tormek would be still useful for me, you seem to get even better results than I can. Though I've learned that keeping an oilstone close to hand while working encourages me to give the chisel a quick touch every now and then to keep the edge on it.
Leo, I just love how you use power and hand tools with equal ease and skill. What an amazing craftsman! As always, thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with all of us. Please keep up the terrific work!
Your videos are good for my mental health.
Haha i like the tennis balls on your clamps. My back will like them to.
First Finn uploads ( his editing skills are way better now) then this. Makes for a great weekend. Merry Christmas Leo, you you and yours
Leo is an artist, sculpture, documentary cinematographer, musician and boatwright, and sailor. Extraordinary. He does all these things very well indeed.Love keeping track of his progress and seeing the passion for his craft. Thanks very much Leo, and to all who support this effort.
beam shelf, futtock, frame and a wealth of other terms describing wooden boat framing members
Excellent work, For a first fit, those scarf joints look great, any woodworker would be quite pleased with results like those. Merry Christmas to you Cecca, and your family.
30 min video
Christmas came early
Skillful chisel work, a pleasure to watch.
Astounded at your chainsaw jig...such a grand idea...the pleasure it must have given the maker of the first one
Merry Christmas and a happy, productive and prosperous new year, Leo!
Your skill and precision in working with wood, knowing what types of wood are best suited for what purpose, and how it will behave in long-term use is amazing and would have highly impressed my grandfather (who restored some antique furniture in Windsor Castle) and HIS father, who was a master cabinet maker by trade, and a luthier as a hobby. I have a violin he restored, and only the best experts can detect the repairs he made. In those days the apprenticeship was I think at least 7 years, and then you had to work as a journeyman until you could produce work which satisfied the guild sufficiently to be given full membership as a master craftsman, able to take on apprentices of your own. He trained at least half a dozen, so could be considered an expert in his trade.
You work with similar precision but on a grand scale, and Tally Ho is actually going to be a better boat when you've completed the restoration that she was when new - I doubt the original builders considered such a long life as she has achieved, and you are aiming to extend for at least as long into the future, in a manner that can be maintained.
With the blend of modern technology like laser levels, and traditional methods in the finishing of the wood, I believe her lines will be truer and she will probably sail better as a result.
Have you considered selling offcuts to help with finance, as I'm sure many followers would love to carve with such beautiful wood and end up with a memento of their support of the rebuild?
Great episode! Noticed with alarm a house being built just over the fence. Hope this doesn't preclude you using your power planers, chain saws and belt sanders into the evenings! Have a lovely Holiday back in England!
The new neighbours seem nice! Actually I don't work past 6pm at the latest, it just gets dark so early here now!
@@SampsonBoatCo I was thinking along the same lines. I figured you must have VERY understanding neighbors. You seem to have been very fortunate in the location for your work. That workshop alone is worth it's weight in gold for the long run. if you were trying to this on the hard in a marina, you wouldn't have half the freedom that place affords you. Been watching since the beginning and sure wish I was closer, would be trying to help build this amazing project you have going. Have a fun and safe Christmas.
@@SampsonBoatCo Dark by 4PM now. Just about to go the other way though!
Chickens walking the plank!
Certainly a pleasure to watch.
Thanks for the all the videos.
From all your followers....Happy Christmas Leo....
I’d really like to see a video of how you sharpen your hand tools,!
Me too! Mine weren't that sharp new!
Fantastic scarf joints. Your planes, chisels etc. always seem so sharp, yet we never see you sharpening them!
Every time I watch you have another new tool. Fun.
Think about it, he goes to a foreign country, finds a beautiful boat in horrible condition and says . . . yeah, I'll spend four years of my life bringing it back to life . . .
If you can manage to schedule it for a weekend, Brad and I might be able to round up some hands and hydraulics to help you bend those in. Cheers and Happy Holidays. .
Oh, that sounds fun, thanks! I'd love to take you up on that if it works out. I can pay in beer :)
@@SampsonBoatCo BEER???? I gotta be there.
I've noticed you're wearing out everyone's gloves. 👍
Don’t know what was funnier? The chickens or the pushing saw dust around. The cutting and fitting of the scarf joints was interesting. Imagine having to do that without the assistance of power tools.
