EPISODE 141
It’s time to build Tally Ho’s rudder! We start by purchasing a gigantic piece of Purpleheart from Edensaw, which Zeal cuts into several pieces using the chainsaw mill. Later in the video he starts the shaping and assembly process, using Coaks (blocks of hardwood set into the flying surfaces) to add to the strength.
Elsewhere, Patrick makes some beautiful doors and drawers for the wardrobe in the aft cabin, Clifton begins the construction of the cockpit, and some of the crew take the dinghies on a camping trip.

[@helenhall3705]

Hi Leo I’m the Australian lady you were speaking to at Heathrow yesterday, as we waited for the Europcar bus to collect us. I recognised you but wanted to respect your privacy. I’ve been watching your videos with my 9 yo grandson for a long time and am so impressed with your commitment to the project. A great role model. My grandson will be very chuffed that I saw you. Best wishes Helen

[@SampsonBoatCo]

Hi Helen! That's so funny! Thanks for being so respectful - though I wouldn't have minded too much :)

Patrick went from goofy comic relief to a total badass in the shop (he's still funny though).

[@vincevonheeder5319]

He has indeed. While he may be providing lighthearted moments, his improving skills and mastery of fine woodworking and cabinetry are undeniable. Well done Patrick and keep on learning and honing your skills.

[@MC-wq4fk]

He's certainly done a credible job but I was wincing a little as he was chamfering those corners waiting for the blowout on the corner opposite the direction he was pushing that chisel and watching him planing I'm wondering if he's paying attention to grain direction . But that's just me being nitpicky because I've had to fix things because of that.

[@therestorationshop]

@@MC-wq4fk Same, almost couldn't look but it didn't blow out so possibly he's easing up pressure and then coming in from other side. Hard to tell with the editing.

[@Rickster1100]

Best vid yet! The BB Sea commercial was hysterical! This current crew has mad woodworking skills and have great personalities as well! You should set ‘em loose more often with the camera and see what they come up with!

[@ScottESchmidt]

So many KZbin channels do cheesy commercials - basically reading from a script, while praising and pretending to use the products, etc. Out of need, Tally Ho does a few, but they are always inventive, funny, and just a little irreverent. As a result, they are actually honest and very effective. I'm pretty sure that the companies that sponsor them are happy to see them done in this way. They are a means to an end, and as long as they are well done, and help to pay the freight, keep 'em coming. Just not too many, as we all appreciate Tally Ho's authenticity and lack of commercialism.

[@garyfairbrother5532]

Surfshark certainly got their money’s worth! I howled so loud my wife came running. The work is so interesting and imaginative. Those details are clever, beautiful and thoughtful. Full of symbolism fitting of old Tally Ho.

[@Bystander333]

The water cooled chainsaw was pretty rad. Also Patrick is actually a pretty good cabinet maker!

[@soulseeker2214]

I live in Panama and run a 50” chainsaw mill. I use the cheapest vegetable oil I can find to lubricate my bar and chain, (it works great in the tropics probably not so well in the cold). I’ve never seen anyone use water before. I'm guessing you don’t want oil on your wood? Any other reason for the water?

[@manuelve1998]

I’ve never seen water either! I’ve seen diesel! Vegetable oil! Not water on a chain. Hopefully they dunked it in a can of oil after they were done.

[@suzysheer66]

I wonder if the water was to also keep the sawdust down?

[@andrewford80]

Not so down on the water thing but what do I know?!

[@curm1778]

There's no reason one can't use water. Chainsaws are commonly used to make ice block sculptures and to carve into frozen lakes to create natural ice blocks. So long as you oil the saw after it'll be fine. Purple heart is already a pretty oily wood, hence it's use and value in ship building, so adding more oil isn't really needed. However, the wood is so dense and oily that the friction from the saw passing through it could cause burning of the wood and heating of the saw bar. Try making purple heart pegs with a plug drill bit some time. You'll have fire before you have a peg, which will be quite burnt. Water is ideal here since it moves the heat off much faster.

[@khaledon6369]

I just found out about this channel a couple weeks ago and I’m glad I found it. I was a deckhand on a buddy’s purse seiner out of Gig Harbor from 2009-2014. The boat he bought was built in ‘65 and needed a lot of work so we spent a lot of time hauled out in port Townsend slaving away on it every year. I had the pleasure of meeting and working with some of these guys. Definitely was a pleasure soaking in all their knowledge. Aside from fishing in Alaska, my time on the boat yard learning from these guys was one of the highlights of my life. Keep up the good work boys!

[@robinhodgkinson]

Having done a lot of fibreglass work it’s nice to see someone who, like me, doesn’t bother wetting out the wood first. It’s not necessary. What is necessary is that you add enough resin that the wood doesn’t suck the cloth dry as it soaks in. And peel ply, that both flattens the glass, absorbs excess resin, and leaves a nice textured smooth finish. Not to mention negating the need to sand it before bonding anything else, even if that’s weeks or months later. Way to go.

[@ryobiify]

You should do as many commercials as possible. Besides being an income source , they're brilliant.

[@thomasdavison8996]

I love that there are still remnants of the Albert Strange design being incorporated in the woodwork. It gives a person a feel of time when Tally-Ho was built. Very nice! All that shiny Brass looks great. If only Tally-Ho speak, I am sure she would be pleased with progress. Well done Leo and crew. Can't wait for the next video on the rudder.

Never laughed out loud at a KZbin ad before! Absolutely the right thing for the crew and the project!

[@XBradTC]

There's a very brief glimpse of a large sailboat named Odyssey in the yard at 21:10. Odyssey is used by the Sea Scouts of Tacoma. Prior to that, it was used by the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Department of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, just a few miles across Admiralty Inlet from Port Townsend. She was sailing under her original name, Saluda, at that time. Before that, Saluda was actually a commissioned vessel of the US Navy for many years, IX-87, serving mainly in acoustical research roles on both the East and West coasts. Sailing aboard Saluda was quite the fun outing for me in the late 1970s.

Re trimtab on a rudder. I did a trim tab on an aircraft rudder, and discovered a few lessons: The turbulent surface layer is quite thick so far back, that the trimtab must be larger than the calculations (modelling the surface layer in software is difficult), or moved out of the turbulent layer. If not, it will not work at all. Used direct brushless motor to move the trimtab. Exposed to weather. Alternative was a push-rod style mechanical actuator. You can also get oscillations if the trimtab is not stiff enough or balanced; not sure if that is an issue at so slow speed.

You need to make sure your channel is listed under Comedy for even more viewers. Absolutely the funniest and best channel on KZbin. I'll bet you never expected the crew that you have right now to be so comedic, and don't get me wrong but any of the past crew would fit in, open up, and make this even funnier. Do they give awards on KZbin? You deserve the EGOT award that only about 10 people have.. Love the channel and will continue to support it as I can.

[@tomarmstrong1281]

These videos from Leo Golden have an addictive quality, on more than one level. Each viewing raises my respect for the work and workmanship of Leo and his team. In concert with those now long gone, who constructed wooden vessels before the age of mechanisation and electronics. How did they do it all, with only muscle and pen and paper? The sheer amount of work and planning also indicate that in times past only Kings and the extremely wealthy would have been able to raise the resources for such undertakings.

[@teeanahera8949]

Mate, it is Leo Goolden.

[@tomarmstrong1281]

@@teeanahera8949 Thank you. Time to get my eyes and ears tested.

[@Breezely]

Vessels were a lot simpler, heavier, and rougher in the days before power tools and yes, only Kings could afford them. This boat was actually built during the age of power tools. Not cordless drills and chainsaws, but power tools none-the-less. If you watch them work you'll notice that they start rough and gradually refine and refine and refine. Much of their power tool work is really just speeding up the rougher parts of the job. An awful lot of the final fit and finish is still being done with non-powered tools. Probably the biggest difference between this reconstruction and the way they built them 112 years ago is in the sealants. That black gook is really amazing stuff. As is epoxy. And obviously in the more modern "systems" they are beginning to install. Hybrids, lithium, flush toilets...

[@tomarmstrong1281]

@@Breezely Still a hell-uv-a lot of work. What we never see much off is the planning and organisation and administration and trouble shooting and problem solving and man management and a hot if other things. All of which together with the worry and anxiety which goes with it is the stuff Leo lives with day after day and week and month after month. He has been doing it and carrying it on his young shoulders for close on three years. That is where the real stamina and grit and know how is needed.

[@tomarmstrong1281]

@@darcyperkins7041 Agreed. I would also like an insight into Leo's long term vision for the future of Tally Ho. Because when completed and launched the vessel will represent a fair old chunk of real estate. In my wildest dreams I cannot imagine he would sell it to the highest bidder and retire in comfort. I envisage he has some sort of foundation in mind. To help foster individuals to develop a love of the skills of boat building and sailing with similar projects.

The last few episodes have been the best for me. Getting into the above and below-deck carpentry has been an absolute pleasure to watch. The accuracy, attention to detail and the final finish is wood-porn. Can't wait to see the finished result. A quick marketing tip. There has to be the possibility to buy high quality, high resolution photographs of TH when she's finished, black & white as well as in colour. All of the photos should be done before she is even used so everything is looking pristine. They'll sell like hot cakes and I'll be one of the first to order 👍

Leo - Not too long ago the government, here in the UK, came down hard on the import duty for boats coming in to the UK register. With this in mind it might be good to revisit the 'Ship of Theseus' in order to nail down Tally Ho as the historic UK built boat, rather than let Customs & Excise take the view of it being a replica built in the USA. Not sure of all the facts, but it could save a fortune in import duty when you bring her back home.

There at the end of the dock we see the unmistakeable profile of an Aluminum Cruisers Corporation 'Marinette'. Those craft were built here in the 60's & 70's of all welded construction, fitted with huge V8 twins (gas was cheap), and floated and trucked to the far corners of the globe. I remember my father taking me into the factory to see them under construction, welders on rolling stools running a 35 foot bead down the chine... Pretty far down the spectrum from chisels and shavings, but a quality craft in its class.

Hi Leo, my Koopman’s 39 “Rode Zora v. Amsterdam” has a trim tab at the aft end of her big heavy rudder. It can be hooked up to a small tiller pilot. It works but the reaction time is slow and hence the boat steers a nice regular slalom. Not useful in crowded waters. For short periods we use the tiller pilot on the tiller… It’s not made for a heavy boat and hence overheats. But for an hour or so it works. On offshore passages under sail we use a Windpilot self steering vane that works really well even for our 15t cutter. The wind pilot also accepts a tiller pilot when under motor. However, I have never tried it.

Hey, danish joiner here. Amazing work on the drawers, but next time make sure to have the grain of the bottoms going perpendicular to the front. This is because wood expands much more across the grain compared to along it. This will insure that a nice and tight fitting drawer won’t become to tight, or in worst case stuck, in a high humidity environment. Awesome to see this amazing work!

@@SampsonBoatCo Hello Leo, what we do is pull the drawers out, flip them so the bottom edge is up and rub the rails with a paraffin wax candle. I do this every year or so and it works well. Does Pete ever pop in to check up on you?

The bottom should be allowed to move with this expansion and not nailed down (unless the nails were in oversized holes.) Cabinet makers go to great effort to allow for wood expansion. Not allowing for expansion will cause bowing and splitting.

Hope you feel better Leo!
