Hot-riveting with heavy bronze hardware (rebuilding Tally Ho)

I have to agree that Zeal and Nick are both true craftsmen. These two young men make me appreciate that craftsmanship is not being totally lost on the younger generation. Even though they are obviously from a different social background than I with the black fingernails and the reggae hat I truly have nothing but the highest respect for these young men.

Such an antidote to your typical marina - more mess, variety and a lot less plastic. So many stories that must apply to every boat in there - and the paper mill always in the background, reminding of real life.

You Sir, have proved me completely wrong over the last few years, you're definitely no rookie, and, you knew exactly what you were doing when you bought her. Maybe a little more than you expected, but, you knew that there was going to be some big challenges and you took them on and in a professional way. My hat is off to you and your crew, well done so far, and can't wait to see her splashing again.👍❤️

[@Randiego]

What is amazing is that you, Zeal and Nick are YOUNG shipwrights. Normally, you see "older" craftsmen fabricating these components as it takes years of experience to perfect the craft. However, you all are doing such an amazing job for younger craftsmen. Zeal, Nick and the "Dutchess", who had a previous life as an artist, not a shipwright, all are doing such outstanding work on the Tally Ho. And the other craftsmen on your team there in Port Townsend who have contributed to this amazing rebuilding of this ship. It is hard to believe that a younger group has the experience and massive tallent to fabricate these components. When we first saw the Tally Ho in Oregon, did we think that it would morph into this craft?" Probably not. I look forward to every installment to watch craftsmen at the art of boatbuilding. First Class, Leo.

[@kathmandoo]

You guys are lunatics, but I love watching your interaction with each other. It's very funny. Such superbly skilled guys. Love watching this channel.

[@psidvicious]

What sets the shipwright’s work apart is; not only does it need to have a furniture grade build and appearance, but most importantly, it needs to structurally function and stay together while being subjected to the most extreme conditions imaginable. The constant pounding that an ocean vessel endures, under rough conditions, makes “furniture grade” construction extremely challenging.

[@Nphen]

Once they finish, then there will still be many things; christening, maiden voyage, captain's logs and hopefully expedition tours and short half-day trips available to book at least once in a while. Maybe sailing classes. The prices would likely be steep, but it could fund perhaps the Next Boat, maybe a replica of Tally Ho to be the home of a permanent sailing school.

[@jaygee5693]

Typically, boat-build channels continue to produce episodes long after the build is complete. Launch, sea-trials, shake-down voyage, then cruising, all featuring further boat-work (modifications, maintenance and repairs) which will always be ongoing.

When she's afloat and brought back to moor up for a spell in the UK, I'd be honoured to see the Tally Ho... Originally crafted here, beautifully reimagined for a new era over the pond by some very fine craftsmen, under the watchful eye (and hand) of an eccentric Englishman...

A true tale of what can be achieved, with traditional skill and modernisation, all carefully balanced to create a true masterpiece. 👌
