EPISODE 114
In this Christmas special, we have to move 7 tons (14,000lbs) of lead from the old workshop to the new one. The 5-ton original keel is far too heavy to move in one piece, so I have to cut it into smaller pieces - with a chainsaw?!
We also get a tour of ROEDDA, a beautiful 1931 wood fishing tender, and we meet her new owner and captain Alex.

114. Chainsaw VS Lead Keel! (Rebuilding Tally Ho / EP114)

I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.
Alex needs her own You Tube channel. She presents well and clearly is at the start of an amazing journey.
Alex, please start up a You Tube’s channel so your fans can start supporting your repairs and future ownership!
I really like this concept where you introduce us to the people on the yard; clients and occupants. I think it improves the quality of your videos. I look forward to meet more of those people. And of course the specialist workshops and craftsmen needed to complete this enormous task of rebuilding Tally Ho. 👍
After seeing the condition of the keel , re cast is best, nice to see other boat owners, and artisan workers, wish we had a boatyard like this in the UK
"You know the rest" - says Leo. Yes we all know "the rest" because we are all close family after more than 100 episodes and several years together❤
The lead keel story has been a great story in itself. The cross sections of the old keel looked nicely designed even if the pour was a bust. So nice to have talented help available on the next pour, but the new mold and melt will be another huge task.
A very important part of the process will be getting the new keel positioned precisely underneath the hull & lifting it up to mate w/ the timber keel, w/o bending or deforming the soft lead casting !
Merry Christmas, Leo and the Tally Ho crew. Many, many thanks for the outstanding videos in 2021.
That`s it Leo, one pour, one casting. It sounds like you have the right people involved. I is nice to see all of the other people involved in the boat yard, all the best to Alex in her journey.
That was a great meet and greet Leo and it shows just what good support and knowledgeable people you have around you in the boatyard, looking forward to seeing more
Merry Christmas to all who work, support, and enjoy the work being done on the Tally Ho.
Health and happiness in the new year.
Seriously, look up the recovery prices of "low alpha lead". This could easily finance the entire cost of the recast keel. 10x or more in recovery value of old lead that does not have modern radiation in it. This is a good idea, Leo. You don't need the low radioactive lead for authenticity.
I was thinking the same thing during the attempted recast. Lead that old is usually low radiation and can be quite valuable. Selling it and using new lead does add to the Ship of Theseus problem but it might very well be a good decision.
But he added new lead so it's no longer pure@Urd_Voiddaughter
The failures of the past will always pour down on you but they have lead you to have better balance in life don't let it weigh you down
SEE, told you a chainsaw would work! LOL
I've done it many times recovering and recycling lead from old sailing boats.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to Leo and the whole Tally Ho family.
Lead used to be Uranium. It gets it's own identity and becomes it's own Element Lead (Pb-82), once the Uranium (U-92) decays and becomes depleted by going through it's ten thousand plus year life cycle.
Merry Christmas Leo! Thank-you for all the quality content you’ve given us this past year. All the best to you and yours in the year to come.
Having a new episode premier on Xmas day is the best gift to get from Leo.
@@SteelDoesMyWill well I didn’t get my E-type Jag. for Christmas so this is the next best thing. 🍻 and Merry Christmas!
I second that motion. Thankyou Leo from AUS
@8:57 Boat named Tolly Ho, cant imagine you didn't film that without one day picturing Tally Ho sitting on the water like that.
Merry Christmas, Leo and the rest of the wonderful Tally Ho crew and supporters.
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you Leo and your crew from the South Coast of New South Wales, as a chair bound 79 year old I have enjoyed you full series of entertaining videos. I am just waiting for someone to ask me what a “Lofting Floor” is down at my golf club when having a beer!🤣😂🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘
Merry Christmas, Leo and the Tally Ho crewmembers. Thank you for the outstanding videos in 2021. Looking forward to those to come.
Merry Christmas to all of you and to the Tally Ho family all around the world. Greetings from Malaysia.
The size of the grain boundaries on the old keel are amazing. You can really see how it cooled from the outside in. I hope your lead expert can make the whole recasting go smoothly.
Glad you finally got the lead out ;) Alex is a treasure. She needs her own channel.
Merry Christmas
Wishing the young lady well on her business adventure
Salmon tending, I did that one season. Pretty wild stuff.
What a nice Christmas gift :)
Merry Christmas to everyone associated with Tally Ho. I really enjoyed the segment with Alex and seeing the challenges and opportunities your neighbours have. Thank you for making these videos - "support" is a two way process and I for one I trying to ensure I do my bit as a Patreon.
Nice musical choices! Your music background comes through loud and clear.
Another great episode of Tally Ho. Merry Christmas to you Leo, Rowan, Richard, and the rest of the present and past members of the project. Thanks for sharing!
Merry Christmas and all the very best for 2022!
Greetings from Essex UK. Hope the festive season is good for you and the gang and that the new year is as good, if not better than the last. Lovely to meet Alex. Can you persuade her to start a TH-cam channel.
Essex England 🎯🎯🎯😉
The videos take me back to my boat building and ship's carpenter days and I thank you for that.
I have to say your video production is top rate but your B roll is some of the best in any production.
If you take 5 - 20’ x 1” rebar rods and weld them into a five equidistant polygon formation to be the core of the lead pour you will find that they do not need preheating and that they will act as a heat sink which will cause the lead to harden in place with a horizontal (lengthwise) crystal strand structure giving the keel much greater balance and shape. If you are going to do it in shorter sections the same idea will work. Do not allow any of the rebar to remain exposed after the pour as it will eventually oxidize in place. While this will not effect the overall functionality of the keel it is cleaner and nicer to have an enclosed pour. Also, you can weld-attach to at least three of the rebar rods a ring (or rings) that are integrated into the core of the structure and (if galvanized) can act over the long run as hangers for the moving or removal of the lead. I would recommend creating the precise shape you want in the mold by lining it with Satanite and then chipping it off after the cast. You can get intensely accurate pours this way in much the same as lost wax casting in green sand or plaster.
Thanks for sharing this Alaskanean boat. People dont imagine how exspensive is fishing indutries . Merry christmas and good New year. Preservation and good 2022
We used Lead weights in Race Cars, and about 30 years ago we went to the Shipyard, heard we could get the lead we needed out of old Sail Boat Keels, a friend had done it before using a Chain Saw and I too was very surprised how easy it cut, we melted it down and poured it in weights which other Racers would buy from us, we had a one time 4,000 lbs. of lead. Love this build Leo keep up the good work. Merry Christmas
I'm curious now why a race car needs to be weighted down.
@@michaelharris1843 Most classes of auto racing have a minimum weight requirement, the car is built and has weights attached (firmly) to bring it up to the requirement. This allows for variations in driver's weight, different size fuel tank, etc. to be easily compensated. Also, the front/rear balance or weight distribution can be adjusted in this way, where permitted..
I think I would have gone down to the local tool rental yard and got a K 12 saw for the day.
Happy Christmas to an amazing young man and his hard working and dedicated crew!
I worked a little shipyard in Seabrook Texas , awesome experience and lifestyle. a few pitfalls though...
Leo you are doing it the right way. Find a foundry that can melt the lead in one batch. You can then make the keel in a single pour. This way you do not have cold shuts in the casting.
Can't the foundry that did all the other castings do lead?
Having the keel done in one pour is 10000% better than several small ones.
@@davidfitwe I wonder at 8000lb you are looking for a crucible over 1 cubic yard
@@davidfitwe Leo is pretty resourceful and they should have a better chance in that boatyard.
So, the cutting of the lead weighed heavily on your mind 😁 but you did it with aplomb 😂😂. Cheers from Tasmania
Thanks so much Leo and Merry xmas to you too. All the best to you and yours.
Bravo to Alex' sense of adventure! Refreshing indeed.
Petersburg is a great fishing town in SE Alaska. Great video
Thanks Leo for the insight to what goes on in Port Townsend. A merry Christmas to you and all your helpers, it's a great series and I've been following for a long time, shame I can't help in a physical way as I'm in France and a retired carpenter/joiner and yacht fitter. I can only " like" every episode, I hope this helps.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. I appreciate your channel very much. I live in Montana and watch every episode of this most intriguing build. I look forward to the coming new year to see the continuation of the Tally Ho project.
Saw a lot of comments in the chat about lead dust, a properly sharpened chain saw chain doesnt make any dust, It peels out solid chips. If a chain saw is making dust, you need to get your chain sharpened or replaced.
In the end, the only thing worth worrying over is how hot the blade gets. You do not want to ruin the temper.
every edge cutting process makes dust particles, your observations might only bekinda true for wood cutting
@@darthtrump4428 On a very very miniscule level your comment may be true. At a level, even with lead, that would matter, There is no issue from dust. If a chainsaw starts making noticeable dust your chain is dull and you need to sharpen it.
Would not lead "dust" be rather heavy and fall to ground quickly. Lighter than air lead seems like a lead balloon to me.
@@spudpud-T67 small particles denser than fluid/gas tend to float around said fluid even if they are denser
if you cant imagine it with air, imagine it like a murky water
but that is not the point, ofc there will be lead dust when you cut lead
the dude used probably good enough ppe, but its not something you can do for 40 years and stay healthy, same goes for the property
Have a Merry Christmas!
Love your common sense approach to every possible problem brilliant to see ! Merry Xmas from Australia, we'd have used kangaroos to jump on it to break it
Or get a bunch of diderydoos, to play at the same time : )
We chainsaw lead at our marine salvage yard here too (same chainsaw actually!) Although I hate doing it as clean up is a pain.
Merry Christmas and solstice to you, Leo. Thank you for quality content you've given us this last 3 years.
I really admire that young lady skippering her own boat. Makes me proud to be an American... Right Leo?
I live on long island out in New York, once a mecca of maritime activity. Sadly, like many other places, that industry has succumb to overfishing, pollution, and modern mega-cargo ships. Very cool to see people using some of these boats as intended to do work, instead of junking them or using them as a museum pieces (not that museum ships are bad, but its even nicer when you can still work them!) Thanks for bringing this to us and best wishes in the new year.
Happy New Year to you and all the crew on Tally Ho. All the best for 2022.
That was a very good decision to break up the keel, never seen crystallized lead before ! Probably wouldn't have stood up to any grounding or choppy seas. Merry Christmas and Happy (belated) Solstice to you.
As a caster of small lead objects, I've seen lead crystalize or become granular many times if the temperature of the mold and the molten lead get out of whack. (technical term, there)
@@David-hm9ic I'm glad they spotted it. That could have started the same kind of failure as the brittle hull on Titanic ?
@@Mr1990hjc That's a myth!
I thought all metal was crystallized in form. the grain size can vary widely however
Merry Christmas, thank you so much for sharing your daily pursuits in excellence. It us a joy to watch people giving their best. Thank you again, know your/you're love
I was thinking you should get the keel done professionally, so it was good to hear you are getting assistance from a pro.
Merry Christmas to you too
Happy Holidays to you and yours! The failure of the lead pour was a happy accident. You wouldn’t have been happy with the condition of it and that front piece might have fallen off. Can’t wait to see what happens next year!
Cool characters and heavy lifting! Always great to get an update on the TallyHo project!
Merry Christmas and wow, what an interesting young lady neighbor you have in the yard! I wish her luck. I noticed that she's not afraid of work. You can tell by her hands. I think she is going to do well.
I didn't see any "young ladies" in this video, didn't see any "young lads" either. What I did see were accomplished, hardworking, professionals with nothing to prove. Just tending to business.
@@TBPollock In comparison to my age. Her accomplishments so far are probably better than average for a person of either gender in that age group. Going into business takes courage and fortitude. No offence intended. Only compliments. Yes, they are all accomplished craftspeople which we need more of. It is a treat for a person no longer able to partake in such vigorous activities to watch these wonderful people. Thanks
@@wingman5985 One of the things I have learned in my 81+ years is not to patronize people younger than me. (there are too many of them😊)
@@TBPollock Nort patronizing. Just admiring them and wishing I was on their team.
Keep filming your projekt is amazing 😊 and happy new year🎉
Another brilliant episode.What a bloke Leo is ! I take my hat off Sir. Oh,an I think Alex is 'hot' ! Carry on.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the Tally Ho team. Amazing project and talent.
What great Christmas gifts I got today: JWST launched and a Tally Ho video. Merry Christmas to Leo and the crew.
Merry Christmas everyone
My first video was watching the failure of pouring the lead and only about an hour after it had been posted. I have since watched every video, I'm addicted to this and what a ride it has been. Can't wait to see the keel get poured.
Merry Christmas!
This might not still be an option, but lead that was smelted before the 1950s is worth more than modern lead for shielding. I'm not sure if it would be enough more for it to make sense to sell that lead and rebuy, or even if it's still an option after the attempt to pour new lead on, but it might be worth looking at.
This is a good idea to look into. My understanding is that any metal melted (smelted) after WWII has radioactive contamination in it making it unsuitable for shielding in radiation detection equipment.
Since you wouldn't care about this in your keel, you might be able to make some surplus money off the old lead.
Not an expert, but did work in commercial nukes for over 30 years.
Its a great idea! Its called "low aplha lead" its not because of the radiation from Atomic bomb testing from WWII. The radiation accures naturaly in the lead ore due to the lead Isotope 210Pb
. After refiniing the lead ore to lead the 210PB isotope slowly decays with a halflife time of about 22 years. So as the lead is aging its slowly loosing its radiation. radiation free lead is also very interesting for soldering in high end electrinics.
@@janbane9842 - I heard that steel plating from WWII battleships was valuable for the same reason and that was due to the bomb testing. Was I misinformed? I never worked in rad protection so my information was industry scuttlebut.
Thank you for the information on the lead. I had never heard that.
@@duncanpotter5838 I read somewhere that that was debunked but who knows. You never know what’s true anymore.
@@hellkell8693 I did a little searching - according to Wikipedia it was a thing with steel up until the 70's or so, but now the background has dropped to pre-bomb test levels so it is no longer the case with new steel. But as you say - who really knows. Probably some physicist somewhere.
Judging by the way the top layer of lead is peeling off, I'd say the top casting wasn't ever going to work and a fresh cast was always going to be needed. I think we all feel better knowing that the keel will be one piece!
Well done getting the lead moved. Big job. It seems that Port Townsend is a very special community. So good to know you and the team are in such a caring environment.
Merry Christmas to All!
Interesting to see the different happenings at the yard. When I see I see young industrious people, I know things are on the right course. Merry Christmas to you and the Crew, get the lead out !
Impressive young woman! Is she using that vessel for fishing in the future? Or will it be converted for another business? My english is too bad that i understood her plans. I wish her a lot of success for that what she wants to achive…
Sounds like she plans to carry caught fish from fishing boats back to the nearest processing plant.
@@moltderenou Thank you. Here in Germany the fishing fleets are shrinking and the fishery is in decline. I hope in her area it is better to earn enough money to maintain such a big vessel and have money left for her future…
I've been wondering how you were going to cut up the lead keel and never thought it would be this easy. I thought of everything from torching it to using an axe. Didn't even think of using a chainsaw. Brilliant! Can't wait to see the new keel poured.
Kind on neat really, the lead chips are big enough to manage easily. A fine saw would make dust that is hard to pick up.
I was thinking portable band-saw, but the chainsaw seems like it worked great.
Me too.
@@KallePihlajasaari I would worry about using the chain again to cut anything else and generating lead dust from residue on the chain.
@@retiredarchitect3462 LOL
Thanks Leo for a(nother) successful Year.
I see that Pancho has a screentime Rival in the Heron! Very Cool
All the Best Wishes for '22
The lead-pouring disaster was my introduction to this channel. I'm a hobby machinist and subscribe to a lot of machinist channels. Apparently the Great TH-cam Algorithm (praised be its name) thought that the lead-pouring video would be of interest to me and put it in my feed. I was totally hooked and went back to watch all the videos from the beginning. I eventually became a patron.
thank you me too .
Happy Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year to you and your crew Leo 🥃🥃🥃🇬🇧👍
Really glad you made the choice to recast that lead keel... The thought of that keel fracturing while out at sea... I shudder to think what might have happened
8:55 Tolly Ho? Next time, we'll see Telly Ho, followed by Tilly Ho and Tully Ho!
Merry Christmas Leo! I have been rewatching all the early videos and letting the ads all run… hope it helps your revenue stream. 🙂
I have been looking at the cracks and wonder if you could add reinforcing steel to the keel like done with concrete to control and limit cracks?
Looking at the separation of the old and new parts, it is a good idea to re-poor it all...
And a very Merry Christmas to you and all of your crew.
Alex aren't be safe to have a safety glass while working in your boat? Very beautiful boad. Happy new year
I've been watching since getting covid in summer 2020 when I discovered and binge-watched the series. Now I have covid again and it's encouraging to be able to watch a new episode in quarantine on Christmas Day. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone there at the yard
Get well soon, you know you don't need to have covid to watch tally ho?
My money is firmly behind the chainsaw in this one.
Merry Christmas to the Tally Ho crew. Last week you asked if a weekly video would work. After seeing this one a week later I'd have to vote for a weekly video. I really enjoy them and a frustrating 2 week's wait between is longer than I'd like.
Leo, how about doing a question and answer live chat.
MIssed a trick with the title - Tally Ho Ho Ho. Merry Christmas!
Unicycle spotted on the Deck of ROEDDA @ 11:09, kind of curious about that.
Leo! happy holidays and merry Christmas from the Swiss alps where we enjoy a lot your videos despite being more mountaineer than seaman!
Merry Christmas Leo!!
Merry Christmas everyone!! Best of luck to the captain and crew of Roedda!!
Wow, loved hearing Alex's story! her enthusiasm is so wonderful, good luck in Alaska!
Ok, let me be the first to say the obvious - Alex and Roedda need to have a YT channel of their own. What and charming and inspiring woman and a wonderful old boat. And thanks to Leo and crew for maintaining a consistently great channel. Merry Christmas to all!
"Bet the only thing that makes the new owner interesting is that it's a woman"
Yep. Literally just a woman doing something men do without being called interesting.
Just think next vid, Tally Ho will be a 112 year old classic sailing yacht...
"weighed heavily" ha!
More of Alex, please! That's a bad-ass young lady if I ever saw one, and I'd like to see more!
Kinda figured the lead would just rip the saw outa of your hands.
Merry Christmas to all the Tally Ho Tribe!
Thanks for posting on Christmas day Leo - all the best to you and the crew for 2022. Every episode is a pearl
Hello Leo, it is always nice to watch what becomes of the TALLY HO, and I also wish you and all those who are there a nice Christmas party. Mario Meuser from Eisenach / Thöringen in Germany, and keep up the good work.
Can’t help but wonder if the young lady next door has any social media accounts yet. 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Maybe some of your followers would volunteer to help build up her account!
