EPISODE 145
In this episode I return from the UK (with a brand new visa!) and catch up with the crew and the amazing progress they have made on Tally Ho. While I was away, Patrick built more furniture in the aft cabin, George installed the freezer in the Saloon, Clifton constructed the cockpit footwell, and so on. We meet Erica, who is joining us to help with systems install work, and finally we catch up with the beautiful teak companionway deckhouse that Pat Mahon has been building.

That companionway hatch is an absolute beauty and truly a piece of functional art. Pat is a master of his craft.

How to describe the Solid Teak Deck-House: "unspeakably gorgeous," or "staggeringly beautiful," or "perfectly splendid," or "art, not carpentry"... So cool the original brass runners got used! Welcome back! ♥

[@ColinWatters]

The finish is amazing. Worthy of a piece of expensive furniture.

[@andyhastings5950]

I wonder how the weather stripping will be accomplished. I could see day light around it. If I can see that she'll be a wet and damp boat without it. I'm sure Leo will work his magic.

That deckhouse is absolutely beautiful! Masterful workmanship, Pat. You are a genuine artist.

[@raymckee2450]

The hatch is an exquisite piece of cabinetry.......truly worthy of the boat it will be operating on...... massively massiveness and brilliance once again from the boys and gal's building a work of art

[@Galerak1]

That Windo 3000 is a work of pure genius... The companionway hatch looks pretty good too 😉😂

[@demacherius1]

I like the windo 3000 to. I can understand Pat 100%. I made such a attachment to fasten legs on this small IKEA tables because my wife bought 10 or so for our house. I don't have time to screw them on by hand. 🤣

[@tonyurquhart8278]

YES! The WINDO 3000 is a definite winner!! May need a locknut for winding in reverse, Pat!

[@cpwright82]

I've got a Minimax combo jointer/planer and it is really tedious to move it 7" up and down when you go from jointer to planer. I'm inspired to replicate the Windo 3000. Seeing Patty grow as a shipwright is one of the great things about the recent episodes in this series.

[@webbtrekker534]

I grinned all through this video. Tally Ho will be such a lovely craft when she is completed. Thanks to everyone!😁

[@evanschwartz3030]

The new campanionway (deck house), as well as the rest of the boat, is an absolute thing of beauty. Having spent many years doing finished carpentry I can say with out question the workmanship is a supreme example of the 'artform'. I'm always pleasantly surprised and amazed there are still craftsmen around capable of achieving this level of workmanship. I know it's ultimately going to be used as a sailboat but given the degree of exquisite craftsmanship I would be scared to death trying to sail her in open waters.

[@gerdriechers8426]

Everytime one thinks it could not get better something new pops up. The hatch is amazing! You can be proud of the craftsman working on the boat. Congrats to the crew!

[@kennethellison9713]

I swear, after seeing hundreds of hours of boat building videos, this is the first time I've seen anyone use a professional paint brush to apply a finish. Congratulations Pat, you've restored my faith in woodworkers.

[@MikeAG333]

Then you have no idea how Le Tonkinois varnish works. It doesn't need careful application at all.

[@hartwiggrunewaldt5102]

What kind of "professional paint brush" is it? Please for more informations... thanks!

[@kennethellison9713]

@@MikeAG333 Yep, I have never used that particular varnish. But I have been a professional painter for over 20 years and have used countless types varnishes, stains, paints, lacquers, and coatings to know how tho properly apply them. And I know that foam brushes and small 1-inch throw-away brushes simply don't carry enough material to adequately cover large areas, they shed bristles and they are awkward to hold for larger jobs. The type and shape of bristle, the shape of the brush (angular, straight, round) and even the shape of the handle are all key to making the job not only look good when finished but to also make the job easier for the worker. My remark was simply regarding my observations of the many other builders, refinishers, restorers, etc. that I've seen on YT using improper paint tools. I'm sorry to have triggered you regarding Le Tonkinois varnishes. I'm sure it's a great product.

[@kennethellison9713]

@@hartwiggrunewaldt5102 I'm not exactly sure what brand he's using here (17:50), but it looks much like a Purdy 3" angle-cut nylon bristle. A professional brush will have large handle like this one, proper bristles for the type of material, trimmed and feathers bristles, and it will be large enough to carry the right amount of material to the work surface.

[@FiferSkipper]

I couldn't agree more! I can't stand watching people using rollers and foam brushes on varnish. There is no way for someone to point out how amateur they are, then for them to say they are going to "...roll and tip..." their varnish.

Companionway drop board. Really recommend one version with louvres for ventilation. Also recommend having an additional one made from acrylic. It will make a big difference to the feel inside the boat when you need the hatch closed but need additional light.

Yes the acrylic one is a great idea ,could say it the race boat version availability to tape information needed on the race on the inside and a place to write in chinagraf or niko pen on the outside heaven knows how many numbers and other info is needed at a glance while keeping water out in rough passage races ..

[@EleanorPeterson]

12:30 - Yes! First from my cabinetmaking days and then from when I built all-composite carbon-epoxy RC model gliders, I've always been amazed by the amount of clamping force the vacuum-bagging process can generate. Assuming a moderate partial vacuum of 10 pounds per square inch (easily achievable with a homemade system built from an old recycled fridge motor), veneering or laminating something the size of a dining room table top (say 8' by 4') would be a typical application. 8' x 4' is 4,608 square inches; once the vacuum is created you'll have 10 pounds of perfectly even pressure on every square inch - including any tricky-to-hold curved egdes - so the entire job would be under more than 46,000 pounds of clamping force.😳 Not something you can easily replicate with G-clamps, bags of sand, bricks, blocks of lead, or even a few tame elephants. And you don't have to reinforce the workshop floor, either. 🐘👀
