EPISODE 68.
In this episode, I finish twisting the beam shelves into place, bending them into their final positions forward and aft. I receive the repaired part of the pipe threading machine in the mail back from Keith Rucker, who brazed together the broken pieces and replaced the bushings. After reassembling the threading machine, it works wonderfully.
Finally, I need to work out an efficient way to fabricate bolts to fasten the beam shelves to the frames, and so I make a few haphazard jibs to help. Pancho takes a bath, and I find another Shipwright to work on the project with me!

68. Bending Beams / Pipe-threader Repair (Tally Ho EP68)

[@SampsonBoatCo]

*Q&A ANSWERS BELOW!* Remember to leave your question in the first 2 hours of each new video, and I'll answer as many as I can *Are you going to attempt to make your own sails too?* No, I am talking to a couple of sailmakers about that currently - but I might be able to help out with parts of the process! *Why not wet / steam the beam before you twist?* The timber is so green that I was able to get away without steaming it. Steaming timber can be stressful and it’s good to have a lot of people to handle it. Having said that, it might have been quicker if I had just steamed it . *Unrelated to this video, but how are you planning to fair the lead keel?* Lead can be easily and safely trimmed with a power-plane (although it can be controversial on KZbin!) *Couldn't you have made the beam with the turns and twists built into it like you did the frames, rather than forcing it.* I could have, but to get a finished piece of the same dimensions I would have had to start with a much bigger piece. Also, it would be more work to make it like that! *Can beam shelves be installed as separate pieces, or does it have to be one solid piece of lumber? Is there a point where the length of the boat allows for a split beam shelf?* It generally has to be one solid piece, although scarfs or other joints are acceptable. Some boats however do not have beam shelves, in this case they would need individual brackets on each frame and thicker planks at the top of the hull. *It appears that the beam shelves, once bolted together, are not on centerline to the bow blocks. Is the current position within tolerance? If so, what is that tolerance? If not, I suppose the beam shelves and ribs must be adjusted for final fitment and fastening. What is the path forward?* You are right, they are nearly 1/4” off the centreline right now. But I will pull them onto the centreline before the next step. Shouldn’t be too hard. In the worst case, this would have to be taken into account when fairing the frames. *What tools will you take onboard Tally Ho? Will there be a dedicated workshop / locker on Tally Ho? We know you love your wood working, and as you said, “a boat is never really finished.” * Mostly hand tools, and a few battery tools. Chisels, Mallets, Planes, Caulking Irons, saws, measuring and marking tools, rigging tools, leather-working tools, sail-repair tools, bolt cutters, a cordless drill with a few batteries, and plenty of fastenings and scrap timber! It will definitely be hard to decide what to take, considering the limited space. *What did you end up doing with the ship's original numbers and you plan on incorporating them somehow into the finished project.* They are on a deck beam, which is unfortunately very rotten. They will be copied onto one of the new deck beams. *Leo? Did You grease that big chuck bearing? It looked dry to me.* It has oil fittings on top of the castings - I will keep it well lubricated with those! *Have you considered a hot riveter? My dad had one with a 5/8 die. A pneumatic riveter might be the thing you need.* Yes, I am working on faster and more efficient ways to make rivet-heads! I like to start with the most low-tech method, so that I properly understand the process and can go back to it if neccessary. But I have far too many rivets to make them all by hand. *Are you going to fit her with her original rig or the Fastnet race rig?* At the moment the plan is to replicate the Fastnet race rig with the enlarged sail plan.

Hi Leo, Steve & Alix from Acorn to Arabella had a jig made for making copper rivets, they use square rod, but the process is the same. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqmofHmaoLSintU got to 17 minutes in for the start of the actual jig.

There is really no need to replace the rails as the dies will self center onto the work piece that is chucked in the threader, they are mostly an anti-twist mechanism once the thread dies are engaged on the work piece to prevent the die head from spinning. I've used pipe machines in far greater states of disrepair and they worked just fine. The bushing replacement should have this machine lasting another 50 years.

Just a hint. Never leave a chuck key in the chuck. Get in to the habit of always removing and save a disaster happening

[@spkiey]

I've a dent in my ribcage to remind me not to do it again

[@Acrowat40]

Top tip I also learnt from experience : )

[@idadho]

I installed a tube on the drill press specifically to hold the chuck key. If it has a place to go, it is more likely to go there.

[@Pow3llMorgan]

It seems like such a stupid thing, because "of course I'll never turn the machine on with the key in", and you probably won't just until you do and you can HOPE it only flings the key out on the shop floor. One of the biggest scares I've had with my limited experience with machining. It's not a stupid thing - never leave the key in the chuck, no exceptions.

[@devotidchannel]

A good way to be extra safe on a lathe is NEVER take your hand off of the chuck key wrench unless you are setting it on a table. First thing we learned in Machine tool class.

[@BettySwollocks13]

Mate, never leave your chuck tool in the lathe/threader, it will catch you out one day....honest.

"Not got much done!" JeeZus! This video was excellent. Constantly moving and achieving. Very impressive. I very much enjoyed Keith's videos. As an "English American" I love the way he says "AAAWL".

Hey Leo, Would you be interested in letting someone draw the Tally-ho in 3d? I'm a SOLIDWORKS draftsman and think an accurate drawing of your final lofted drawings would be an interesting challenge. If drawn correctly, major dimensions can be changed to output a drawing of a vessel with a similar overall design but a different size/shape.

You could try an air powered scabbling hammer with a domed tool bit to form the bolt heads. These tools are cheap at the auto parts shop but need a fair sized compressor. You could form the tool from a cut down scabbling bit that comes with the gun, ground concave on the bench grinder. Preheat the plate and a guide for the torch will improve that oxy cut.

Brilliant Leo. A tour de force of rigging and ingenuity singlehandedly manoeuvring those massive beam shelf timbers into position.

If you would tell us what you need - we could do things like make the bolts for you - a lot of us would help

What is the average air speed velocity of a laden swallow ?? Stay Healthy and Thank You for the upload !

[@mr.e7022]

The average velocity of a laden swallow is 42.

Depends on the swallow and what it is laden with. I find a beer laden gulp swallow is much faster than a medicine laden gagging swallow. Then again a wine laden sipping swallow is probably the same speed meaning that you cannot calcuate the type of swallow or type of load from the speed, mathmatically it is a one way function. :) Sorry to say that your question is incomplete and unanswerable without further parameters.

when it's a big problem - get a big hammer. And wood will " settle" ie - - relax into the twisted position about 5% of the stress will ease over say 48 hrs, more over years of time.Think of it as super slow steaming.

Honestly Leo, if there was a single video to watch and become addicted to Tally Ho… THIS is that video! Incredible use of tools and imagination to complete projects.

[@safudinsuhadi8287]

Hi, I’m from Singapore. A country with no wooden ship or boat industry, or hobby for that matter.:) Been watching Leo’s channel for a long time and am patron too. Love what Leo’s doing and can’t wait for the next video every time. I just want to know how many here are from other parts of the world. By the way, stay safe everyone.

Massive thank you to you Leo! The anticipation is now building with your addition of an experienced hand. Hope it works out better than imaginable. Quesiton: You've mentioned those beam shelves were very green - DO you take moisture readings of the wood to determine how you will approach working with them? And finally, all those dynamic forces on the beams themselves, I assume they become trained to the "set" of the shape and relax? And do you check them every few days or such and make more adjustments to their position before you start bolting them in place?

On the missing teeth, remove them completely, root and all. Chips might get tangled in them, which you want to avoid. Also, if you have 2 out of 4 with serious damage, put them diametrically opposed in the cutter head. Also, because this is not a highly accurate operation, to stop slippage, you can wrap the work piece in some high grit sand paper, grit inside. As long as you cut a perfectly fitting section of sand paper, it should be plenty concentric, and limit slippage. Alternatively, if you have one, you could use a lathe dog to catch the work piece to the chuck.

[@ciberbri59]

The footage of the beam shelves snuggling into position at the bow was especially gratifying. Loved it! Glad they’re home and that fastening can commence. Best of luck with your new shipwright. If he can feed the parrot a nut without losing a digit he’ll work out fine! ;-)

Great to see old tools refurbished rather than hauled to the scrap yard. This old equipment was often overbuilt by today's standards and with some tender-loving-care will provide many more years of service...........Cheers

Hey Leo, looks like the bird was trying desperately to take a bath in that cup of water.... do you set out a "large bird bath" tray for it to do so? Great content! Keep 'em coming!

[@macmcatee611]

Can't believe that you can't buy silicon bronze carriage bolts instead of hammering a flare on a rod and threading it. I used to work in a ships chandlery and we stocked them. That was 50 years ago but they still can be had. Just a matter of tracking down a source.

[@frederickstibbert7389]

3/8" silicon bronze carriage bolts, 7" or 9" long - those cost US$7.00 or 9.00 each in lots of 50. Leo needs hundreds of them.

[@GregHartSk8er]

Always look forward to these videos and rather disappointed when they end coz now I have to wait for the next installment! Pancho (the parrot) is a total nutter BTW! Lovely to watch the shapely lass (Tally Ho) taking form.

[@ADRIAAN1007]

Did you oil the bearings on the chuck? They look dry in the video.

[@braydeny]

These videos are still amazing
