EPISODE 133
In this video we finally get the batteries installed in the boat! But first we have to build the battery locker and a heavy-duty purple heart rack to hold them. We also install a lot of sole boards, bunk-sides, and a secret locker…
There are also a few important announcements, including an open house during the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival - Saturday 10th September, 10am - 1pm, @ Port Townsend Boat Haven.

Funny... I was emotional about losing the forklift and then learn Pete is leaving. For anyone who has watched these videos from the beginning, we know how that little forklift did GREAT things and that the quirky young man who can turn his feet backwards was an integral part of this journey. "What'cha doin Pete?" will forever be in my mind. I've no idea what project drew him but I hold you to your promise Leo... we need you to catch up with him so we can all get our Pete fix. If he has a social media account about his life, I'd love a link to that as well... I also am appreciating Patrick's longevity and his ever deepening skills as a shipwright. I love his presence. His work in this episode is quite fine... he's learned from the masters around him and makes a great contribution. LOVED this episode as well. Thanks Leo... the check in is the mail... 🤪

I remember when Pete first came onto the project. He was so hesitant around the camera (for good reason), then he finally began to warm up and his personality was revealed like the layers of an onion. As each layer was pulled back I grew more fond of seeing him around the project. So sad to see him go but I’m sure he’s onto the things he feels he should be doing. Good luck Pete.

Quite strange indeed. A month or two ago I posted a quick "what happened to 'he who can't be named'?" on the Sampson Boat Co Friends Facebook page. I used his name, and the next day my question had been deleted, let alone answered. Then when the launch video was posted ~two weeks ago there was a review of many of the people who contributed, but not a word, let alone pictures, of Pe**. I don't use his name anymore because it looks like it'll be deleted. Anyway, he was a pivotal guy in the early days for sure.

[@alansomerville4806]

But in a boat, remarkable that everything you lay your chisel to is with such accuracy and style. (I was bemused to see if you were going to hand plane the plywood though) Anyway, just thrilled with your work and your series and from a furniture guy (I was lucky to be a sample cabinetmaker at a fine 18th century reproduction house called Kittinger Furniture in Buffalo NY) it’s a thrill that you’re showing the world the worthiness even today of skilled craftsmanship in the approved tradition.

Can't beat a Makita drill hammer! 😅 Kudos to Pete and all involved! A real pleasure to follow along!

[@lunkydog]

Not to be confused with a hammer drill.😉

[@thomasarussellsr]

I was looking for someone to comment on the use of the drill as a mallet/hammer. I knew it would be in here somewhere.

[@tomstiel7576]

@@thomasarussellsr I worked with a glazier,,,his drill was beat to shit from using it as a hammer

[@DEW409]

Every tool has a hammer side!

[@thomasarussellsr]

@@tomstiel7576 oh, don't get me wrong, there are several tools in my collection that double as a hammer when they are handy and a hammer isn't. Everything from various pliers of different sizes, to wrenches and screwdriver handles, and even power tools like the back end of a drill or motor housing or a circular saw to bump things around.

I have the feeling that we will still hear from Pete. This channel has been my favorite for years. The quality of the people, the professionalism, the workmanship, the materials, the engineering, the carpentry, the music and, of course, the result, is unique on KZbin. Clearly the result of much sweat, dedication, leadership, charisma and Leo's love for all those who were directly and indirectly involved in this project. My congratulations. As for the departure of Pete, another odd personality, I have the feeling that we will still hear more about it, because there is no point in dedicating part of this last video to a machine (as cute as it is) and just a few words for Pete, Leo's faithful squire and a gold standard boat builder. Pete is an inspiration to all of us youtube viewers! Much happiness and health to all!

[@fast_richard]

I watch a variety of KZbin channels, time permitting and sometimes a bit more than time permitting. This is one of my favorites. I like Leo's camera work and editing style and look forward to a similar mix of verbal explanation and musical interludes when he is making videos of the sailing adventures aboard the completed boat. After finishing watching this video I need to get back to work on one of my own projects (and airplane).

[@mcc19606]

Pete, you're a good man, and have been a massive, massive enabler for this project. Hope to see you back.Will miss you man. Mike 🇦🇺

[@robrae5292]

I really enjoy the ethic and craftmanship you and all your team work to, including Pete! Thanks for all your videos, I learn so much from them.

[@kiyotomiyazaki1668]

Oh, noooooooo!! I can't believe how sad I feel of Pete's departure! Please come back Pete as soon as you finish the other job!

[@therexx891]

I will miss you on this project, the comments before me clearly show your connection with the people. You first caught my eye on the Western Flyer project and was super thrilled to see you with Tally Ho. Looking forward to seeing you on future projects, you taught me many things, thank you matey. -- Hey Pete! what ya doing

[@lyndaa7560]

Have loved Leo’s journey with Tally Ho, Pete was a great part of this story & I will miss him, lots of luck for the future Pete xx

[@Extort713]

I love how extra Leo is sometimes, making the slits in the plywood to make it look pretty.

[@iwal1645]

I've been on and off grid for the last three years, We are gonna miss "Hey Pete, what ya doin'?" segments. Also where's Petes old pup. I miss that old man. Fair winds and calm seas Pete until the internet brings us all back together again. Back to you Leo.

[@num1booger]

the stairs, the walkway, the battery shelves and compartments, I to am a woodworker, but one thing is for sure, Leo Sir and your crew are Phenominal Master Craftsmen. What a joy it is to see such Art in all you guys do. Fantastic work Boys, Steve and June Livin life here in Beaumont, Cally

[@andrewwatson2570]

Ah no Pete's going? guy is a rock star!

[@iceman7975]

Excellent work as all ways. Pete will be sadly missed, great guy excellent craftsman.

[@Mr1jimmer]

I don't know if I can continue to watch anymore videos, without the 'insight of Pete' and his extreme knowledge of boat building ... Cheers to a one of a kind .. Pete, your always sunny disposition will be missed, more power to you, and good luck !!!

[@johnfrank1509]

And he didn't even say good-bye

[@bobafetting6373]

There are now 413k Subscribers asking: “Pete - What’re you doing?” Thanks for all the amazing work Pete, whatever you’re doing next will benefit massively from your skills.

[@MikeAG333]

Fabulous episode. ...........but I'm really sorry to see Pete heading off.

[@ElleKendra]

Really sad to see Pete go. Best of luck to him. Though I think Leo needs the luck more. I'm just not sure Pete is replaceable.

Gotta love the teak delivery guy - "All right, what episode am I ?"
