EPISODE 60.
Rowan returns to give me a hand, and we finish shaping the keel with Adze and power-plane. Then we carve some shape into the Stern Assembly, roughing out the Stern-post with a chainsaw first, before cutting the remainder of the Rabbet into the centreline. The chickens enjoy watching our progress.

The craftsmanship and attention to detail put into this ship are inspiring. I didn't understand the complexity and planning needed for a build this size. To get such detailed explanations and videos is fantastic, thank you for taking us along on this amazing build.

[@davidallen803]

Leo, you are not just a boat builder you are an artist. I am a hobbyist woodworker and the way you work the wood is sheer artistry. I love the work you are doing, and I really liked the interlude with your girlfriend.

[@robbiefisher1]

This is the best series I’ve seen on KZbin in a long time. I really think this could be made into a Netflix short film or series. Especially once it’s out sailing around, just an incredible story.

[@matthewgarland693]

The series that is tied in first (in my opinion) is Martin's Marble Machine X. Both are stories of people boldly following their dreams and inspiring many others to do the same along the way.

[@theorganguy]

@@matthewgarland693 what a weird cross reference, but i agree - Martin would have his work cut out for him, tho, if he then also would need to build a Gimble-System for the MMX to work on board of Tallyho while out at sea... but maybe it could be used as mode of transport during the grand world tour ;-)

[@lorriedmussett4692]

I agree, I love everything about this project and all Leo shares with us. I am of the opinion that, if he chose to, Leo could continue this journey with tons of us following and so many more joining along the way. BUT I think as soon as a network comes into the picture we will lose that cool something we all love from Leo. It won't be Leo's anymore, not like now. Its not to bad mouth networks, I get they have an obligation to please a larger audience. But honestly, if Leo wanted a network he would surely deserve it. And I damn straight would watch. Personally I'm a happy duck with his own " show" ...doing it himself!

[@lm2be]

I have a confession to make. I have enjoyed watching Leo's videos tremendously and have been more than happy to support his project. But for the longest time it seemed to me that he was renovating the carcass of a beached whale. That is, until today. About half-way through the video, it suddenly struck me that he was actually working on a stunningly beautiful boat. What it was I still don't know, but while I was watching him shape the keel timber and sternpost she suddenly took shape in my mind. Maybe I finally could catch a glimpse of what Leo has been seeing all along.

[@sebastianungerland3185]

True ! I enjoyed this from the first episodes too. However i really wonder whats gonna be left from old tally ho in the end and if it wouldnt have been way easier to re built her next to the old boat. But i guess that would make it feel like its just a copy of tally ho ;). Anyways ! Awesome job Leo. Lovin it !

[@kiwicami287]

@@remy7938 It is still Tally Ho, it's more Tally Ho than when he first got the boat because he had to redo all the frames and stuff because it didn't have the right shape after the rebuild when Tally Ho crashed(i don't remember exactly what happened). And to respond to the OP i got that feeling when all the frames were in the boat and when we saw the beauty shots but even more so when Leo started shaping the cutwater

[@markbeiser]

I agree, the timbers being down to almost their final shape certainly helps with visualizing it. What really did it for me was seeing the rebate for the planking cut in. The view at around the 12:45 mark really pushes it home.

[@glennmiles5365]

If I might be allowed to interject here briefly, the phenomena we are viewing here is rather more like watching Rodin pour a bronze like "Walking Man" than watching a production sailboat being built to certain specifications. That's why an hour after being posted, and 60 segments into her fabrication, there are already 17,600 views and a very long list of replies. This is because we are getting a rare glimpse of a creative process, in a world that is sadly lacking in providing an opportunity to participate, even vicariously, in experiencing that process, manifest before our senses in real time in 2019. Now I don't want to watch Mr. Goolding's head swell too much, but I feel the need to remind the people who are lucky enough to be viewing this happen, the consequence to their sensibilities and our shared luck in being privy to view, even from a distance a truly creative act being performed. I have watched videos of Picasso painting on glass panes and Fangio drive the Le Man's circuit at 200mph in the mid fifties, but I have never seen the likes of what is happening here, happen here through the magic of a great gift technology has given us -- KZbin.

Am I the only one who think that this purpleheart timber is just gorgeous ? I'd love to have a cutting board made out of this

[@graemelliott3942]

DELBOURG matthieu me too it is really beautiful. I’ll take a cutting board d too. Leo can make something from all those wood scraps and sell them. I’d buy something from the original tally ho wood

[@Mishn0]

Maybe not: Exposure to the dust, generated by cutting and sanding purpleheart, can cause irritation and nausea, possibly due to the presence of dalbergione (neoflavonoid) compounds in the wood. This also makes purpleheart wood unsuitable to most people for use in jewelry.[8] Purpleheart is also a fairly expensive wood, which is why it is usually used in smaller-scale projects.[9] (Wikipedia)

[@roscoejones4515]

When it turns brown-and it will-it's not very attractive.

[@markbeiser]

@@roscoejones4515 That is the problem with most of the colored woods, they eventually turn brown. With proper finishes, care and limiting UV exposure you can get more time, but they will always go brown.

[@88doug2011]

You really don't want a purpleheart cutting board. But the material Leo has for his keel and stern timber looks incredible....clear, no visible checking, really strong. Nature's carbon fiber composite!

[@HarryP457]

Leo's videos should be prescribed watching for every shop class on the planet as he embodies the principle of "measure twice cut once". He is so meticulous with all his work, carefully working out exactly what he needs to do before doing it. I'm sure he's stilling shitting bricks at times but I'm equally sure his preparation gives him the confidence to carry on. You see how infectious that confidence is in everyone that comes in to volunteer on the project, at first they are quite timid but , soon enough, they cracking on apace and using that same careful method. A week with Leo, Jimmy, and you'd be thinking "this ain't so bad, maybe I could....?" :)

[@xx1590]

There are not too many people who have the talents to take the weighted keel of a large sailing Yacht and resurrect the boat to a level it possibly never was to start with. From what I first saw that Leo was going to buy and transport to where he is working now I could not success having watched no end of boats in every port repair yards all over the world that never seem to transpire beyond and occasional repair attempts. Leo's immense nautical shipbuilding talents are beautiful to watch, but it is the combination of these talents and amazing abilities to overcome any problem of the type that defeats so many. When he started almost Immediately if we remember the local building department was on him about the structure he was building to shelter the boat work. As an engineer, I have seen many of this very same situation develope that most of the time end in a disaster with the building department wanting a permanent engineered structure being built. Leo seemed to have a magical touch and convinced the building official that his temporary shed would not be a problem and with a couple extra touches he moved right along. I am not sure at what point Leo decided that saving any used structural members was not going to work out well and he was going to have to replace all structural parts but that did not slow him down in any way. Next, it was obvious he was going to need a forklift to make this workable to move forward, bingo a local winery that allows him the use of one out of the blue. I do not see how the re-build would have been doable without the large band saw and when it came to the time to use one along came someone who saw a spark in what Leo was doing and gave him the needed saw. When Leo needed Oak for the frames he finds a real American character who is in the Oakwood business and he brings to Oak across America to his boatyard. All of those things sprung out at me at the beginning of today's video when we viewed the interior area of the completed rib work and Leo climbs up into the interior I was suddenly struck by the real beauty of what has been built. As Leo worked on the lines of the rabbit and shaping the stern and keel the beauty of the Tally Ho was finally showing itself in an amazing picture of a very sleek Yacht that is going to be so impressive when Leo takes the helm on its first trip from Seattle. The Ole Tally Ho has to be grateful to Leo, Cecca, Ronan, the Macaw, dog, and chickens in their ongoing efforts to make her a proud high seas ship again.

[@sotobfree7163]

[@Bricksailboat]

Teabone Bones. A wooden boat is a thing of beauty in so many ways. Owner (Leo) talent and dedication are key to keeping the good ones alive. The beauty of the boat, seduces, and contributes to longevity but working through challenges with occasional bits of luck are also important. Some local codes or building inspectors have killed many a good boat despite beauty and best effort. Very when that happens.

Leo, watching you take dimensions from the lofting floor is the best description of how CAD works I have ever seen. Maybe in your copious free time you might consider developing a "How design is done" class. In my view you are developing a body of knowledge every Engineer would be well advised to study. Furthermore, it is a delight to watch you and "Your young lady" work together. I get the feeling that the boat is at best half of the total labor that goes into the project. Watching the quality of life you both assemble is a gift. Thank you so very much.

[@claverton]

when I was a jackeroo in far western Queensland in the mid 1970's we had a machine similar to the one that you are using for sharpening the adj and Francesca is using to sharpen the knives. We used it for sharpening axes, chisels, hand shears etc. Except it was ancient contraption with a much larger stone wheel that we turned manually with a foot pedal, and we had a tin can with a hole in the bottom above it that dripped water onto the stone wheel while you sharpened the edge. I loved it. The way it was explained to me by my boss was that using a normal work bench grinder heated up the metal too much, but this machine sharpened the tools without changing the nature of the metal

[@tombola9445]

The keel etc. is looking amazing after the trim, but I can't help think of all that purple heart being turned to dust. I know it necessary, but I'm one of those sad people who hang on to the scraps from a band saw box thinking I can use it for something. Well done Leo and Co.

[@SteelDoesMyWill]

I've seen dozens of wooden boats (and fiberglass ones) out of the water and done a few prop installs... The prop shaft is almost never dead center on any wooden boat. It is more common to see them center on factory fiberglass hulls because they were made in a mold, but I suppose that makes it even more odd when you see that they are not center. Seeing that prop shaft pilot hole dead center on Leo's Stern Timber just goes to show what kind of real expertise it takes to get those details right. The rule isn't "measure Twice, cut once", it reads more like "Measure THRICE at every stage of building a multi-part Jig, then measure Thrice again..."

Fredrick Rourk Off center to remove shaft for maintenance so that removing rudder isn’t necessary

[@graemelliott3942]

Fredrick Rourk I believe you’re correct. My wooden boat has the prop right in the center just ahead of the rudder. The initial prop wash when starting from a stop sends vibrations up through the rudder shaft and through the helm. Backing up is really difficult too with almost no steering. Have to gain momentum then power the engine to idle to gain steering control.

Another brilliant video. It should be more apparent to viewers now that this particular boat is an epitome of a certain size wooden boat used for a certain purpose.

A superbly filmed & edited video, which completely delivers the experience this viewer wished to see. Thank you

[@dgretlein]

Absolutely beautiful. It is an amazing journey you’ve shared with us. It is so much fun to watch master craftsmen work because they work with passion.

The biggest goofy grin always spreads across my face everytime I see that beautiful English Bird, she is just magic. : )

[@haroldconover5221]

I am still very much , watching ALL of your videos.

[@sgd263]

She really has beautiful lines thank you Leo for your awesome work it sure does make my day when I see your videos.

Really starting to see the beautiful curves emerging from the structure now. Like a giant piece of fine furniture! Well done. Mark Presling, Queensland Australia

Great to see you doing normal wooden yacht construction. Have done the same work and being 71 have stepped away from full time heavy work. Enjoy.

Loving every minute of it Leo, just wish there were more minutes of it !

I guess its getting to cold for the parrot to sit outside all day, great video by the way

This is really satisfying to watch. The craftsmanship and ingenuity are first rate. I was surprised a while back to see him purchasing live oak in Georgia. I am not far from that area. We have five 60 foot live oak trees we are looking to have removed because they are too close to the house. I would have gladly donated them to this project if the timing had worked out. I guess he would have had to wait for them to cure for a long time anyway. Thanks for the well done series. Content like this has fully converted me to the 21st century way of watching TV! Tally Ho!

The music is well matched with the inspiring skilled work done with such pride.

Wow, she's really beginning to come back to life after all your efforts to-date. Always look forward to updates on progess and hate the alternate weeks when one has to do without one's fix of craftsmanship. Awesome!

It is mesmerizing to see how the keel timber changes colour after a while. I will almost buy a block of it and shave a bit off everyday!

[@banjopete]

Looking from the sternpost forward, the beautiful wineglass shapes become evident, very nice.

I have watched all the series and I hope there will be a continuation of EP61,62,63 etcetera I am impressed the boat is a work of art as well as a working craft! Cheers

Leo makes it look so easy. I'd love to see a video describing all the mistakes that were made along the way. I'm sure they had to recut some lumber pieces that didn't work, maybe they put some holes in the wrong places. I'd love to see how he dealt with all those issues.

I follow you from the first video, it's scary your skill and your skill in working with wood, but wood in shipbuilding that is not like building a bedside table ... People like you, who know how to build boats like they used to, now they almost can't be found anymore. I respect you.
