[@deanjones2525]

@@allenschmitz9644 When such builds were more common, I can understand how people would just see it as the run-of-the-mill. However, for a lot of the subscribers to this channel, who've never seen the construction of a wooden boat like this, let alone any boat, this one is being built with pride, finesse and just share elegance. Therefore, for me and many others, it's craftsmanship at a different level.

Thank you Leo for showing the world and the you tube community a good and proper way to build a wood boat that will last generations. Some of the saddest videos I see are those of people spending years to build their boats with substandard materials thinking everything will be fine not realizing the dramatic effect it will have in the life of their boats. The true cost of a boat is not so much in the materials but in the labor to assemble it. You are showing the world a masterpiece in creation. Well done sir and I hope to see you in port townsend some day.

[@YTPartyTonight]

@James Lawson Yeah, understood. I've also done both types of labor/work and many things in between, as well. I shoveled mountains of horse manure on Saturdays for pocket change when I was 12 years old to buy art supplies, when I wasn't under my dad's wood boat on my back, on the gravel covered hard, painting the hull bottom with antifouling paint in the spring, mowing lawns or helping dad do carpentry projects or whatever. I've made art, design, photography, video shorts and music, built furniture, computers and guitars... much of it professionally... multiple college degrees from very demanding programs, etc. THE POINT: Leo clearly does Herculean amounts of physical, intellectual, analogue and digital forms of work, seemingly indefatigably. Leo also clearly loves what he is doing. It's extremely admirable.

I get so happy when I see how well the construction goes. I look forward to the next episode. I live in Sweden in the archipelago in an old fishing port. Today, the fishing boats are no longer there, just leisure boats, which for me makes your work with "Tally Ho" so important. You preserve a way to build boats. Fantastic, I'm impressed.
