I would like to give a big thanks to Leo and his crew for their help. On May 15th of this month i was able to go see Tally Ho in person. I had emailed Leo and told him i was in hospice homecare. Leo told me to stop by if i could. My son took me and i couldn't believe the workmanship done on this boat. I won't be here for the finish, but people try to see this boat if you can after it's in the water. Leo and everyone from start to finish should be proud of themselves for this accomplishment.
God Bless You
I'm happy you got to see the boat in person, seems like a dream came true for ya. I hope I could see it too some day. Wish you a smooth ride man.
Seeing this boat transit Cape Cod Bay is on my bucket list.
Prayers for a peaceful passage Guy...
Yall do the funniest ads on TH-cam!
This is the ONLY TH-cam channel where I don't fast forward through the advertisements! Not only is the crew doing amazing work, but they're pretty hilarious, too.
I agwee, absowootwy hiwawwious!🤣
Me too
@@papawheelie5835 *wheeze*
I fast forwarded through one and caught the end, it was so funny I went back to the begging and watched the whole thing. There was so much going on in one of them I watched it three times.
I literally snorting my beer when the TV turned on😂 I already use Surfshark, but if I didn't I would sign up just to reward the amazing acting.
Tally Ho is not just a boat, not just a restoration, not just a project on the internet, she's a love letter to wood working.
She is a beautiful stately Lady of the Sea
a love letter to wood working well said
And when she's finished, she'll be a love letter to the sea.
Absolutely spot on
It's also a man's ill-conceived gesture to win back his wife (named Tally) in the #1 trending TV show on Netflix right now 🤣
The block guy does great work, respect.
I want to see more of this.
@@SonjaBruenzels And Bob is a chip off the old block!
Yes! His work is SUPER impressive. I love hearing him get into the science behind it. Anyone who can geek out about their passion like that is a good person to have around.
I like his technique and tooling that he uses. I feel like I learned a lot just by watching the few short clips of his operation. Cool stuff.
Yes, the blocks look great. I would be interesting to hear why ash and black locust? and which is used for the sides vs center spacer? Also there is the strain testing place they took the rivets, just saying.
Those teak hatches are absolute works of art. You truly have assembled the best of the best to help you. Quality knows quality so it makes sense these craftsmen and women are drawn to you and this project.
exactly! best of the best!
Well said!!
And I kinda cringe at the thought of exposing that beautiful work to the elements.
Yes! Finally a new episode... of Dutchess of Desire
Poor Pat laughing his nipples off
I kinda need a second channel for the DoD now. So much character development.
I am unreasonably invested in seeing this story play out! lol
The slow artistic shots over the harbour, the boats and old ships together with that beautiful music.. You really show of the atmosphere of craftsman, love for boats and a community of passionate people. It’s so much I love about these videos
Thank you
I agree, it's what I noticed too. The standard is so professional.
It's great seeing our silicon bronze wood screws going in to that beautiful deck house! Nice job as always fellas!
Why do you use slot screws?
Note to potential sponsors: these are the ONLY pitches I have ever watched and I would happily watch more. Great job Tally Ho crew!!
I want to see the crew do a hair product sponsor commercial! Someone make that happen!
Pine tar to the rescue
That’s a magnificent mane at the start of the vid.
Some of that SIS 440, of course.
Proof if proof were needed that the Tally Ho crew are all mental
wana know the truth, these ads are the only one I am looking in vids. every other I simply skip. They are holarious!
I can’t imagine there’s a manufacturer of supplies for traditional boat building out there that doesn’t know about the Tally Ho at this point. Most businesses in niche markets such as this have an interest in the craft and beauty that their products facilitate and I’d imagine many tune in weekly. Thanks to TDS for supplying the caulking and getting this beautiful vessel one step closer to wet feet. I’m sure Leo’s story has inspired hundreds to one day build their own dream and they’ll remember it when the time comes to cork their own decks. Bravo!
LOVE the commercials. Still laughing. I'm looking forward to the completion of Tally Ho. Your adventures sailing her will be just as entertaining, I'm sure.
I hope eveerbody who worked on her will have a chance to join Leo for a trip.
I absolutely love the fact that so many masters of their craft have found such a passion for this project. Never seen anything like it!
The craftsmanship is a joy to watch.... it's amazing that it even exists in this day and age...... massively massive artful work ...true artisan's
profundo!
Can’t say it better myself! Well I could but you just said it.
I hope you keep this channels alive after Tally Ho is finished and get to share in your adventures.
who else sees this boat being sold and a new project talking its place
@@mworley13 I’m not convinced, no one puts this much effort into a project just to make a bit of money. There’s heart and soul gone into this, I can see him keeping this boat for life
@@mworley13 Leo has already spoken about the continuing adventures of Tally Hoe, so stop that right there Mister...
This is such a labour of love that I cannot see this happening.
@@mworley13 Pretty sure Leo has already stated this is his personal "for life" boat. I strongly think we won't see this for sale until Leo is gone and his estate is selling it, if even then. I do think we will see more videos of life on the seas and possibly other projects as Leo helps others out with their ships. He has done just that in the past already afterall.
Bittersweet to see Tally Ho nearing completion. Thank you Leo for bring us all along on your epic adventure!
Still a few years to go !
@@racsofischer7601 - we can only hope but it's looking like maybe less than a year. But this kind of boat is never finished. So, sailing adventures, anyone?
Two more years to completion. Hasn’t that been the prediction all along? 😉
We spent years looking at what essentially was a pile of wood (albeit a pretty one), but now it's all moving so fast. The deck is nearly done, the interior is coming together, the rigging is getting a start. Amazing. Feels like any day now she'll be ready to take her first swim in a very long while.
I watched something like 146 episodes in a row at the beginning of the year. Going from a nightly fix to fortnightly has me in withdrawals.
@@paulaus I know what that's like...
@@paulausDid that.
#MeToo
Well done TDS!!! Industry leader and supporter of the project!!
Advertising at it's best.
That's really fantastic!
For sure a quality company and product…. Supporting another quality company and product. Thank you sirs
Hatches: gorgeous. Head cabinetry: gorgeous. Blocks: gorgeous. We’re getting into a trend here, where the beautifully-shaped hull is turning into a gorgeous vessel.
Everything going into this boat is just surpassingly beautiful. I know nothing about boats, but I'm here for the passion each craftsperson has for their work, the attention to detail, and the beauty in every single thing being made.
The "commercials" are highly entertaining, too. 😂😂😂
Oh man I can’t wait for the next episode of the Duchess of Desire! You can’t leave us with such a cliffhanger.
Once again I laughed way too hard at the sponsorship segment. Literally the only channel that makes me not only not skip them, but actively look forward to those bits of the video. 😆👍
your commercials are pure classic British humor genius !
Man… as much as I’m excited to see you guys launch Tally Ho, I’m going to go into withdrawal; missing your amazing crew doing such a high standard of woodworking. It’s going to be a floating work of art! 🇨🇦
The creativity and skills of those involved with Tally Ho's build never fails to amaze me. What an incredible crew!
Quality of joiner work is way beyond first class. And like all craftsmen at their level, they love it, they live and breath it !
Absolute pleasure to watch, thank you Leo .
Yes. And probably better than original. Remember, it was some guy's fishing boat the first time around.
Those blocks are beautiful! I would love to see a more detailed description of the rope work going on there!
This is such a great channel. First up, Bob and the blocks. They are gorgeous. I didn't know how they were made, and the strops around them are amazing. Secondly, shout out to TDS for their awesome gift for TallyHo! Great job, guys.
Finally, your 'commercials' are great. What a bunch of fun-loving crew members! Makes my laugh, thank you.
Looking forward to splash day.
It is an absolute joy to watch Tally Ho coming together,brought about by such a skilled and caring team.Thank you,Roly🇬🇧.
Every video episode provides the viewer with interesting insights into Tally Ho's build process. To watch a younger generation applying olde world skills so amazingly skilfully is a joy to behold. Cannot wait to finally see the finished ship take to water. Well done Tally Ho Team!!
10:27 I love how the DUCHESS’s “dress” is held together with a clamp 🗜️ lmao
I made the pilgrimage! 13,398km from Adelaide SA to Port Townsend WA. It was worth every cent and all the effort. The place, the people, the Port-all are real and exceed expectations. Leo and his amazing team are not building a wooden boat, they are enriching our lives! Heartfelt thanks.
Great Journey!
As an aside, the worlds first production line recorded was designed by Isambard Brunels father Marc, this marine block manufacturing facility was producing over 100,000 blocks per year starting in 1802 for Royal Navy ships, the workshops are still evident in the Portsmouth Naval Dockyard and last I heard were in the process of being restored.
That factory was a big part of Britain dominating the seas in the 19th century. Blocks are such an important but unsung part of naval history.
Only one problem: they're not able to produce the blocks for Tally Ho for '2 more years'....
Henry Maudslay was the genius behind the machines and their success.
@@dancarter482it’s curious how talent can sniff out talent. Brunel had the idea, the vision. Maudslay could translate that into reality. He too was showing off, there is nothing utilitarian about the construction, almost architectural decorative bits all over. Imagine modern automation being decorated with turned finials.
Each British ship-of-the-line needed about 1000 blocks, so necessity was truly the father of invention. I've seen them with various markings, including the British Broad Arrow.
Here in the U.S.A., kids are taught that the first modern factory and assembly-line, was the brainchild of Henry Ford but the Portsmouth Block Mill, predates that by more than 100 years.
I’d be certain in 1910 Albert Strange built a beautifully functioning vessel, but I'm sure he’d be impressed with the quality that you and your crew have rebuilt Tally Ho to.
Definitely. Also, it’s solar powered and please have a seat Mr. Albert. I need to explain to you what a satellite is.
I've been enjoying the channel for a few months, have watched some very old episodes, but not nearly all (so this may have been covered at some point). I am curious what makes the boat still Tally-Ho? It seems that every bit has been replaced, it's really a new boat. Not meaning in any way to be critical or question the "authenticity", just wondering if there are distinctions made between "restoration, "rebuild", and "replicate".
@@IdleWind many define restorationn as needing to have some of the orginal still present. i have heard of cast iron stoves being separated so that each individual part can be used in what would otherwiise be seen as many new ones.
@@IdleWind
Good question...Leo covers this in Episode 58 and Joshua Slocum addresses the same question in Chapter One of his book.
@@rickymorse5915 Apparently Leo has decided to stick with old-school navigation, and forego GPS on Tally Ho. So no need for any fancy satellites!
12.517 views in 49 Minutes after release, that is record breaking. I have never seen this on any channel!! Grants Leo! You and your team are the best of them all.
Tally Ho really is going to be a world-class boat of the finest quality when she is finished, from stem to stern she's also a thing of great beauty, a testament to you and all who have worked on her, I have never seen a vessel with so much care and attention to detail in her build, so fine, you must be so proud of her.
In another 100 years or so future artisans will wonder at the quality of her build.
One fascinating aspect of this project is the interplay between traditional design and building techniques vs modern materials and methods. You have traditional wooden blocks with Delrin sheaves. You have traditional cotton caulking sealed in with modern TDS sealant. You have a very traditional sailing yacht with a modern engine and cutting edge electrical systems.
The craftsmanship going into this vessel is simply amazing.
Thanks for the MV Gyrfalcon interlude! Next time you see us in the yard or at the dock, stop by!
Erica is so cool! Love her energy and presence, not to mention her mad skills.
These Blocks are a Piece of Art ! And the Guy who did all the Work .. Respekt !
I think “Bob the block Maker” is great! Nice work.
Compliments on Bob's interview camera work. I really liked the focus and lighting arrangements; very effective! Bob's explanation was alos very well presented and interesting. Thank you.
Such amazing craftsmanship and quality. Great antics and shenanigans to keep the day fresh! Everything just comes alive with the varnish! Beautiful work on the head! Outstanding editing and score! Feel the passion for the blocks! Thank you all for the amazing journey we continue to join you on! Much love! Always! Oh Duchess!
I can't wait for the next episode of Dutchess Of Desire. The last one ended on such a cliffhanger!
Leo, just wanted to say thank you for leeting us accompany you at this journey. It is so much fun!
I hope your sponsors pay you double what they pay other channels. You guys put so much effort in to the fun custom skits and I never fast forward through them like I do others :)
I have so enjoyed binge watching this series after recently retiring following almost 50 years as a traditional cabinet-maker. The outtakes remind me of the time I spent as a tutor to the Properties & Objects students at The National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney. Loving the talent in both the workmanship and acting.
As part of the silent majority, I can no longer keep quiet and just enjoy your videos. So now having given voice I suffer from a lack of adjectives to express myself. You guys, all of you, are absolutely amazing!
The Duchess of Desire would certainly approve the fabulous deck furniture on Tally Ho.
Great explanation on traditional blocks using today’s modern materials
I’ve been a rigger for Forty plus years and love to see this profession using these methods
Thanks Leo and Bob
Literally the only commercial I don’t fast forward through is yours ! I even want surfshark now!
what a satisfying job to have the deck caulked, I cannot wait to see it being sand down and finish.
I am constantly amazed by the myriad of such extremely skilled craftsmen you've been able to assemble to work on Tally Ho. It is truly mind boggling.
Love this channel. After crewing on the Blue Mermaid this last weekend in the Kings Coronation Medway barge match and because of the blood, sweat and tears it's the laughter that makes you keep going. Wonderful Leo and crew
I'm not sure what I love more, the wood working or the commercials! LOL!!!
The production and editing quality of these videos is not far behind the superb craftsmanship, it's a fortnightly treat for me along with a pint of Ruby and sour cream pringles which accompany the viewing. A great combination of British and American as well!
Okay, a quality ad worth watching. Good job!
Love the music choice of Old Train by Wayward Jane. Nice
I'll tell you sonething. This is the only channel that I watch the sponsor. All the others I just speed through them. Yous people are awsome. Thanks for the laughs.
Its awesome that Bob is as passionate about his work as the rest of the people who have been working on this project 😊😊😊
It's kind of interesting to see someone much much younger than you , explaining with much knowledge things that you somehow missed out in your own longer life. I certainly respect their disciplined approach to the whole project..
I’ve come to really appreciate the ‘boat yard interlude’ section of these videos
Team,
Amazing work everywhere! My father would be proud of you. He built and rebuild boats along his pathway in life. I still have some of his tools. 4 cheeres🎉🎉🎉🎉 for team Tally Ho. A massive thanks for your wonderful videos, LEO.😊
I’m happy that you’re making your own blocks. I’m quite certain that when Tally Ho was first built, nobody went down to the local hardware store and bought them.
Perhaps the local Ship Chandlery. 😉
Don't be so certain. As somebody already pointed out, rigging blocks were the first product to be made on a production line.
Once again Leo, this project is just incredible, the craftsmanship of this crew is amazing, some of the hatches and doors are so beautiful, you almost don`t want to see them get wet, they are so well built, they could be hanging on a wall as art, in a boat museum. The contrast of dark caulk with those deck boards, is gonna be stunning to see, and to see the time it takes to make one block, and Tally Ho needs 50, this team is unreal, Tally Ho looks so good, the entire boat could be in a museum, hats off to the workmanship on this build, it`s stunning.
Another great episode. What a great team of cool, skilled people you've accumulated. It would be great if you could ever find the time to give us an update on the awesome couple that used to be your (and Tally Ho's) landlords back in the day. It'd, obviously, also be cool to see their parrot again. Stay safe out there.
Is Erica the coolest person ever to work on tally? I really do enjoy her and I appreciate her work ethic, her sunny disposition, and her overall cheery self. Thanks Erica!
Astounding old-world craftsmanship. For all ye ol’ farts (like me) who complain about the lack of skill and dedication of the younger generations, sit down and watch this series from the beginning. I did. Thank you for restoring my faith in the future of woodworking and so much else. This series is and has been a great inspiration.
Those hatches are works of art. The entire vessel is a thing of beauty. However, knowing the state this poor boat was in when Leo got it really makes this transformation nothing short of a miracle. What an incredible and seemingly impossible undertaking this effort has been. It is an amazing story and tribute to his vision, talents and dedication. After years of watching I am already starting to anticipate the day when the sails fill, the ocean slips by the rudder and Captain Leo is free.
That interlude around 15:00 was pure bliss.
I enjoyed those prop blades at 14:25 .
Erica looks like she's is trying not to laugh through the entire ad. Respect to the entire Duchess of Desire team.
My favorite channel. I watch a lot of TH-cam channels. 77 years old and got a lot of time on my hands. But I am a very qualitative guy and can only watch channels that have that. Yours is the best. I look forward to your episodes more than any other. In a couple of years the boat will be ready. Don't know what will happen after that but I am sure it will be great.
Love to see craftsmen at work. Will watch this video many times!
I hope all the builders of Tally Ho get to be amongst the first to go on a sea voyage at the completion of the build/restoration as a reward for their first class work.
You have a great team, having a laugh while you work is a sign of great leadership
Kudos to Erica. so much dedication to the crappy work. Seriously, can't wait to see her other projects. All good stuff.
I got to admit, I follow a few other projects, and they're sponsored as well, but I usually jump ahead. When I'm watching a sponsor spot for Tally Ho, I always watch because I love their little skits.
I've been watching since the beginning and it's amazing to see the finish getting closer. From the beginning all the volunteers up to the craftsman now all of them are the nicest people iv'e seen online. Like the fellow below (Guy bever) I've become paraplegic since 2018 and any dreams of sailing are lived vicariously through the build shows. I will probably make it to see the launch (online) and hope to see TallyHo at sea. God bless all the craftsman from the beginning to now.
😢 I'm really going to miss these videos when Tally Ho is finished.
I'm thinking Leo will keep the ball rolling with "the sailing adventures of Tally -ho".....
Leo has already said that he plans to continue filming his adventures as he sails around the world. I imagine the income from TH-cam is substantial
@Tim Gelder I'm not a sailor, I'm more a fan of the craftsmanship.
Yee ha!!! My Tally Ho fix for the week. Stunning work on the hatches and blocks. As ever, 1st class workmanship.
Extremely professional craftmanship from the bottom of the keel to topsail - looking forward to seeing her afloat and with all sails set
Great to see you are using Keith Rucker to sort out the seized capstan. Quite another project!
When I was young I imagined working on or sailing on a ship like Tally Ho. I huge dream on mine for many years. However, about mid life I started having major issues with my joints. I hope it never happens to any of you. So when I came upon Leo's buying and rebuilding of Tally Ho it gave me something to hang on to when going through another surgery and rehabilitation. I too am a woodworker not to the extent that Leo and his crew are but none the less the woodworking I watch with awe and anticipation. So again I would like to thank the crew for their contribution to each of the episodes especially the BBSea commercials very funny. Thank you for giving me something to look forward to each week. It has made dealing with this issue more bearable. I can not wait to see Tally Ho being launched and sailing once again.
I agree with all the comments here about the skills and workmanship on Tally Ho.. I just wanted to highlight the excellent way these videos are put together.
This must take a great deal of your time Leo, and again is just as skillful. I particularly liked the segment from 14:03 to 15:30 - the shot of the light on the prop at 14:24 was very classy indeed. Bravo and Thank you!
Leo has said that each minute of video takes about an hour of editing. 27± hours of editing for this video.
Being away from a signal in West Wales for a week has its benefits. Loved this episode seeing how blocks and sheaves are made, plus the bonus of watching Keith Rucker starting the restoration of your capstan by ‘breaking’ it apart. I must go away more often! Thanks Leo, superb production as ever.
I came for blocks and sheaves, and found so much more.
Drill braces and all! I’m loving this. 😁👍
The hand crafted woodwork old school and modern applications is epic. Loving care by master craftsman is over the top. The crew and craftsman building Tally Ho have my upmost respect and admiration.
Those blocks look really beautiful and the craftsmanship that goes into them is impressive as well - good thing the artisan only charges 1,99$ per hour ;-) - no, seriously: craftsmanship has its price and I am the last person to deny that.
I Have followed this project from the beginning and have to say I have never seen such a bunch of such dedicated and extremely talented guys. The wood working skills are incredible and I just can never wait for the next episode. Cannot wait to see the launch .
I sense that I'm not alone in believing this is a once in a lifetime adventure Leo is sharing with all of us, one that mariners everywhere are following. I love the many crafts people who have joined the effort and am thrilled to watch them work their magic with wood and bronze and rope and brush. Occasionally, I'll wander back in time to watch what went before. I believe we're well past the point where Leo, when asked how long it will take to complete Tally Ho says "two years." I expect she'll. be in the water this year with rigging installed. I hope Leo takes us along when she heads our of Port Townsend. Thankfully, the videos will remain on TH-cam for all of us to travel back in time to hang out with the crew. Amazing!
Desperately waiting for candid seaside shots of Nick casted as Poldark in the next add segment
OMG YESSS!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s a brilliant observation.
Whoever cast this show did a hell of a job
Cast it? I think Leo put his shop near, then in Port Townsend, filmed a couple of episodes and the casting took care of itself.
I think someone has been too jaded by fake reality shows.
This is a REAL show.
Yeah, no.
Looks like a lineup of Portland Antifa booking photos. Bioleninism on display. Damned shame. Used to be a great channel.
@@marcwolf60 Still a show though and every show has a cast. Nothing fake about that.
Always nice to hear some Transatlantic folk music. Wayward Jane has a nice crossover. Fits perfectly with the visuals
In every other channel I follow, I fast forward through the sponsored ads whenever I can. I actually watch these and enjoy them greatly.
It's so pleasing to watch Leo and his team's fine craftsmanship presented so well!
So much happening in this episode. Beautiful work by everyone.
Outstanding job on your sponsor videos, they are the only ones I ever watch. From day one I believe you guys and gall’s have done an excellent job of keeping us glued to the commercial. Thank you.
Boat building and comedy at its finest!!!!
The craftsmanship is amazing!
Cheers!
