EPISODE 85.
After a much-needed week off, we head back into the yard and begin the next stage of the rebuild - making and fitting planks! The last stages of the lining-out are completed first, and then templates are made and transferred to the wide boards of Wana that make up our planking stock. After the planks are cut they get various bevels before being hung and fastened to the boat!
Meanwhile all the planking marks are transferred to the other side of the boat, the knees get one last polish, and we mill up some Purpleheart to be used for Butt Blocks.

I've been waiting for the planking like thousands of us I suspect..I doubt if you remember but my aged Dad who wasn't doing so well has declined a fair bit..he loves watching your episodes Leo so I thank you so much for giving an old man something to look forward to..it's been really special for him

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

i like hom american power plugs are designed to pull apart under accidental tension as a sort of safety feature, british ones don't really do that

[@Broken_Yugo]

@@cliveramsbotty6077 It's not a safety feature, just part of the generally crap design. They don't pull apart easy when everything is high quality and new, the pins on the plug bend easy (often deliberately to make a tighter fit in a loose socket), and then damage the sockets when rammed in. Usually after the cord pulls out of the extension cord once the operator will walk over and tie the cords together.

[@Sendu7]

I shudder went through me when took both hands off the saw while it was still spinning. Maybe it was the crap timbers I used to cut - but I have had saws grab and kick themselves up and out of the cut.

[@dennisdownes9319]

Because of your amazing boat building skills, It comes as no surprise that you should have such a keen and artistic eye for camera work and editing. I love the "time off footage," the slow-motion curl of the wood plane, the cord disconnecting, and your bird friend, waltzing next to your boat-building friend! Awesome! DD

[@VenturiLife]

So exciting to see planks going on! I think everyone also owes a huge thanks to Leo's hosts that let him use the workshop etc. This wouldn't be possible without them either!

[@tocboatman]

Back at the start of this project it was normal seeing Leo undertake epic jobs entirely alone. Now I'm so used to seeing him with the team he's gathered around him it was odd to see him spiling, cutting and fitting that first plank on his own. Reminded me that Leo could do this whole project solo, it would be lonely though and it would take a great many years! I'm certainly grateful to Leo for introducing us to a lot of nice people and some great characters along with the boat building. "Hey Pete..." is a catch phrase that will live a long time.

Adam, an old NASA trick by normal workers crew, was to just drop the cord (loosely) into a plastic square milk-crate. It never got tangled or knotted. note: the prong side was plastic pulled tied to the crate some 4' to reach a outlet, the rest pulled out to the electrical machinery.

My wife and I are committed to seeing Tally Ho once completed and you're close enough for a commute to meet you. You and your team are part of a family you've not yet met. The tips and lessons you share have changed the way in which I work on my own sailboat and for that at least, you deserve our support.

Great video and great to see the first plank on the boat

[@bengtjohansson6364]

Found this channel earlier this autumn, and now I have caught up on every episode (and no, I did not skip one single minute of explanations). The sad thing is that also I have to wait for next episode now. I agree with so many others: This is the best KZbin channel, and better than most professionally produced documentaries, that I have seen. The woodworking and ship building skills are outstanding, but also the explanations and video editing (including music selection) are so well done. I just love the team building, and all fascinating people we get to meet in this series. A side note: Now I know why my grandfather had so many wooden planers. Glad I kept them all now that I know how to use them.

watching makes me think of a poem call "The Builders" by Henry Wasdworth Longfellow. Here's part of it: Nothing useless is, or low; Each thing in its place is best; And what seems but idle show Strengthens and supports the rest. For the structure that we raise, Time is with materials filled; Our to-days and yesterdays Are the blocks with which we build. Truly shape and fashion these; Leave no yawning gaps between; Think not, because no man sees, Such things will remain unseen. In the elder days of Art, Builders wrought with greatest care Each minute and unseen part; For the Gods see everywhere. Let us do our work as well, Both the unseen and the seen; Make the house, where Gods may dwell, Beautiful, entire, and clean.

The new look to the videos holds the old theme format very well while refreshing the overall look & feel -- the islands music, steel drums highnotes, sounds very nice. It somehow reflects Leo's sailing past in the islands & spending so much time down there. I bet he misses it a lot, seeing him in past videos scuttling about aboard that schooner he mated on seems to show him in his truest element. All the while, the many videos of him taking scrupulous time & loving care woodworking as a shipright/boat-builder also show that other side of him & is great to witness. Nice series, good luck w/ everything now & in the future!

I have been watching. You really do exceptional work. I appreciated the time you spent to allow us to see the scarf of the replacement piece of the insect/sapwood repair. I am a hand plane sort of guy, in the extreme. What I did appreciate myself was finally seeing a good use of the hand power plane. You were fitting the strake at the stern and hand holding the free end of the plank. That would be nearly impossible with a hand plane and you made it look easy with the power plane. The bronze work looks a bit of over kill to me, but I suspect you know much better than I. The additional weight above the waterline..? Might that make her a bit more tender? You have likely figured that all out, but it does make me curious. I look forward to seeing many more episodes. You are a fine craftsman and you have developed a remarkable crew. My highest compliments.

That brass is absolutely stunning.

[@on4xb]

Bronze, not brass

[@thomasarussellsr]

The "patch" piece on that plank could be called nothing short of a perfect fit. It almost completely disapeared once planed down to a smooth surface. The bedding seems a bit runny and gloopy, but it should definitely flow into any microscopic voids quite nicely. How much ends up on the ground as waste is another question, though. The fit on the first planks is really quite brilliant and tight. I love a good concurrent fit on a compound curved surface. Great work crew. The final polish and wax on the bronze looks absolutely stunning as well. Looks like gold instead of bronze, at least on my screen. Can't wait to see how much progress picks up, on the planking, over the next few videos. See y'all next time. Cheers and be safe and healthy.

[@retiredsoon1365]

Leo, would it be possible some time to talk about how these boats are engineered. How do you ensure structural integrity referencing frames per foot, the thickness of the planking etc. As the majority of wooden boats/ships were designed before CAD, what references are generally used. Enjoy your series very much.

[@southjerseysound7340]

If you are seriously interested there's some amazing books on the subject and Dave Gerr's the elements of boat strength, for builders, designers and owners is one that I have found to be a great start. It's about 20 years old and is a lot easier to find then the stuff that is long out of print. It touches on the basics for all materials and explains it in realitive laymen's terms that you don't have to be a naval architect to understand. He's a well renowned naval architect and his books are considered to be some of the best out there and I'd have to agree. It's been one of the go to books at my family's marina as far as boat design goes and we've been building/restoring and modifying small and medium sized commercial boats and yachts for over 50 years.

Intentionally or not, Pete has gotten really good at talking to the camera 😆

What a nice milestone! Congratulations everyone! It's also good to see Pancho is observing OSHA regs on ladder use! LOL. I wait on pins & needles for every video. Thanks for sharing with us, Leo. Also, what a great crew you've assembled!

Remember Leo...if it ain't straight, Poncho will give you the ...EYE!

Impressed with the bright work. Sure it will last much longer than the cast iron floors and knees.

Congratulations on those first planks; brilliant milestone achieved.
