Bowsprit Step / Turning Lignum Vitae on a lathe

[@daihung]

Hi, his name is Leo and he's a boat builder and a sailor. A few years ago he bought a very old and quite famous wooden sailing boat for the price of $1 and since then he's been rebuilding that boat from the keel up with the help of a lot of amazing people. We've been following his journey on KZbin ever since.

[@billythefishuk-uq9ls]

I didn’t know I needed this until I didn’t get it! Thank you 😂

[@thermalreboot]

He only has 2 years left to launch. 🤣

[@philipmasters7491]

With him and the crew every step of the way!

[@mfghans]

I was about to ask who that guy is and what he does…kinda must have missed it during the last couple years 😅

Noodling is actually a VERY critical step for all woodworking projects. It’s nothing to joke around about.

[@cblair1353]

It's a well-regarded step in the software development process as well.

[@Kimdino1]

@@cblair1353 In my early software days I actually had the boss say to me "I see too much keyboard rattling with not enough time spent staring at the ceiling. We will never celebrate unless you first cerebrate.".

[@steveNCB7754]

There is a very fine line, between 'Noodling' and 'Procrastinating'. The true master is one who, whilst doing the latter, can nonetheless give the appearance of the former.😄

[@jimjohnson7764]

Sometimes our boss would say to us, You're a neww-daaa-lerrr! And then laugh. It was always a funny moment.

[@tropnevad]

I'm a hobbyist woodworker and my wife will catch me just staring at whatever I'm working on for hours on end. She thinks I'm not doing anything, but I've told her it's an integral part of the process. I don't think she believes me.

[@gav2759]

Absolutely no compromises with the quality of anything this build. I never tire of calling it the gold standard of KZbin boat building.

[@mediationer]

They are in a class by themselves. The boat will be a traveling museum of artistry in wood. Nothing else comes close. Also, the commercials are better than the superbowl's ads. LMAO

[@GrummanRV]

I wonder if we'll ever get a final cost out of the whole build? I'm guessing probably not. I'd give it a conservative estimate of over a million dollars

[@ryanmartinage]

​@@GrummanRVeasily a multimillion dollar build.

I have it on good authority that he's a boatbuilder and a sailor, but beyond that, I'm in the dark....

Acting artistry!

[@markthompson9914]

Still the only add on YT that I will willingly watch 😂✌️🇬🇧

[@bradbloxsom253]

I am in recovery mode after a recent surgery, "do nothing for 6 weeks or else" so what do you do? Go all the way back to the beginning of this project and binge watch every episode in order. In one of the earlier episodes after the centre line and frame timbers had been replaced Leo must have come in for some flack as to when does this boat lose its identity and history associated with it. Basically every part of the boat is being replaced with new material, so how can you say this object is still the original Tally Ho! Leo devoted half an episode trying to explain his view and why he believes she is still the same boat, it was deep! I agree with Leo, regardless of how much of this beautiful old lady is replaced, the way the rebuild has taken place ensures she remains the same boat. Think of it like this, when she arrived at Sequim sitting beside the work shop she took up space, she displaced the air around her. All Leo has done, is bit by bit one piece at a time, refilled that space as each piece was taken away and then replaced filling the void it had left. There is no doubt, given how this rebuild has been undertaken, she definitely remains the same boat! Well done mate, can't wait for the next episode, cheers.

[@alanmcinnes1111]

I am continually amazed at how each addition to Tally Ho is not only incredibly well designed for efficiency, but is also a piece of industrial art. The level of craftsmanship and precision is nothing short of incredible. Thank you for sharing your journey and showcasing the wonderful team of artisans you have attracted to this project. I hope to someday see Tally Ho in person. 👏👍

[@MrMichaelcurran]

These are fine craftsman restoring a magnificent yacht over 110 years old. Who does this kinda work. LEO & THE CHAIN LOCKER CREW. Fantastic!

[@WiFiJeremy]

I've often thought about one day seeing her in person too. I hope, one day I can!

[@denziljoe]

It made me so happy to see Bob NOT lining up the screw slots! I work on classic wooden racing yachts and we always have to line up the screw slots perfectly but it really hurts me to be forced to choose whether to leave a screw either very slightly loose or over-tighten it thereby compromising the integrity of the connection or the timber the screw is threaded into just for aesthetic reasons

[@2nickles647]

I think it's stupid. You should ask what kind of cars they are driving. As them to look in the engine compartment and ask. Do you see all the screw lined up? 😅😅

[@markthomas919]

​@@2nickles647 yes of course, and not only aligned but torqued to the correct setting!😂😂

[@rickstevens1479]

My brother had his house built by a master carpenter and all the light switches and wall outlets were all lined up perfectly vertical, it was then I realized what anal retention means...😂😮

[@matt7403]

That seems kind of crazy but if you gotta you gotta. I wonder if making a point of starting all the screws in the same alignment would help them end up in alignment. That is, if you start them all in say a vertical alignment, they might each stay more or less in alignment when you’re done tightening.

I wait for Leo to post, since almost the beginning, It is the highlight of my second Saturday night, fortnightly!! It is gobsmackingly BRILLIANT. honestly, this is way past any other wooden boat project. his STANDARDS are just so high, and he thought he was going to do it all himself!!. you all know what I mean.. this is GOOD STUFF.

[@4stringmanagmaildcom]

I first met Leo and Tally Ho in 2018 I think it was. I have a Project Management work history. Someone asked me how long I thought it was going to take him to finish the project and my reply was it depends on how much help he is willing to accept because at that time he was running with volunteers. My outside estimates were 2 years with lots of help and 10 or more years if he did it mostly solo. Since his SM has taken off it provided a lot of resources that are financing the project the last several years. Had that not been the case, he wouldn't have been able to build to this standard. He says that at the end of every video.

[@kimhenry5658]

Same here. It gets to Tasmania early Sunday morning so it’s my second Sunday breakfast viewing. Best and most interesting viewing available. Cheers

[@Anand_KL]

I hope Leo publishes a glossary of every part of the boat. A to Z. With sketches and drawings. Many would love to have that.

[@bengoerzen712]

now that would be merch i would purchase!

[@oikkuoek]

To the interested: The old intro that we all love, is not possible this year. Tally Ho turned a number that is better not to be said out loud, so we get this fresh style where the cut goes right into the chase. Also I want to thank SurfShark for giving us another episode of the most beloved British Soap. Shall there be many more to come. Btw, the noodeling on that post was excellent. There was a moment where it looked the final install was going in dry, but just at the last turn it squeezed out ridiculously perfect amount. Beyond-pro-level goop job.

[@yngfor]

What's wrong with the number 114?

[@oikkuoek]

@@yngfor I believe that is next year's number. There was a discussion on this matter in one of the previous episodes.

[@ImraanAziz]

Excellent prediction. Leo's content here is trending #23 on YT. What a tribute to his project and his video record of it! He is being noticed! Time to renew my recommendation that the honorable Consul General of the UK save the launch date (TBA) of Tally Ho on her calendar.

[@alanmahaffey3265]

I have to say again how much I love your line drawings, they are lovely and informational. Also worth mentioning again that yours are the only ads I do not fast forward through. I talk about this series so much that my wife wants to start from the beginning and catch up, and I am loving seeing the early videos. (The rig to accurately bore the hole for the bow sprint is also a thing of wonder.)

The amazing thing is that you all can still stun me every episode with the quality of your workmanship. You'd think I would be used to it by now.

[@wsherratt5159]

I think the best part of this whole story is how the desire to preserve and rebuild a sailing yacht has actually ended up being an education for those who volunteered, those who have been employed and those whose skills would be lost without these live projects taking place. If you add the educational element for those who are currently engaged in such a build, the sum is much greater that the original idea. That takes some doing! So, from an ex Royal Navy veteran, ‘fair winds and following seas’ to all the crew. W🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@timbolt2380]

It doesn't matter what material they are working with the skill and attention to detail is second to none. This weeks film shows Bobs versatility and workmanship. Absolutely top notch.

I have to admit I got very excited watching the posts, bits, knees & roller built for the running bowsprit. Fabulous craftsman doing this work. Can't wait to see the bowsprit installed & operating. Tally Ho is just gorgeous.

[@ChaplainCross]

That jig for the bowsprit is beyond clever

[@PortRhouse]

The whole Sampson post assembly looks so solidly built. When all the finishing touches were on and everything was bolted together I got a strong urge to just want to smack it and say "Yeah, that ain't going nowhere".

[@Berend-ov8of]

Looking back on roughly six years (!!!) of videos makes me realize there is more effort going into making these boat rebuilding videos than most people would put into rebuilding a boat. This boat rebuilding process is so consistently interesting and entertaining it takes a lot of the glory away from the vast volume of well made videos and all the work it must have taken to make them. KZbin works with algorythms and I haven't had the time to watch all Leo's videos, so I just scrolled down on the list, opened every video and klicked the LIKE button. If you haven't seen them all either, but you want to support the making of these videos, I urge you to do the same. I've been told it makes a difference.

[@villa50bis]

That sampson post is a thing of beauty. Somehow the final detail that tipped me over into awe was the sculpted brass plates protecting the endgrains of the posts. Definitely worth a good noodle.

[@jamesallen712]

'Noodling.' Love it. I must be an expert at it.

[@bustertom49]

Wow, the Craftsmanship being displayed by Bob is top shelf! The man is an incredibly talented and versatile machinist, as well as a woodworker! Tally Ho is going to be just beautiful, SO worth the wait.

[@ladamyre1]

Again, another great tutorial on wooden boat building. NOW I know what those Sampson Posts are for. Been watching for 5 years and every new video is wondrous. Not just the craftsmanship, but the persistence and camaraderie are smashing. I figure this will be your last boat to build, then it will be a sailing retirement that I hope the library of videos here on KZbin will support.

[@TitoRigatoni]

15:03 I love the way that Lignum Vitae looks like it's already been finished, with no oil or anything needed

[@pmiller7886]

Everybody on the crew are amazing, simple as. Bob though, like Zael, seems to be a specialist shipwright. He is doing all the really fiddly non-standard assemblies. Very impressed by his contributions, kudos Bob seriously well meant.

[@constantinosschinas4503]

That round cutting jig for the bowsprit was dope.

[@andreboudreau6474]

Gotta love the piece of lignum vitae. It’s really special stuff. A shipwright/ boatbuilder friend of mine once gifted me a small piece to play with. I turned it into a small awl. I was especially impressed at how incredibly well it polished simply using a cotton rag whilst I was turning it. It almost looked some kind of resin plastic when finished. Awesome wood. Looking forward to seeing bpw sprit and top mast installed.

[@kevfaherty123]

I'm getting more and more excited to see her in the water as it gets nearer to the end. I've watched since the absolute beginning and it's been such a super fun journey

[@boatrat]

Well this... is a revelation. All this time, I'd been trying to do my "Noodling", and my "Figuring", sort of interchangeably. Like as if I were multitasking. Trying to do both things all at once. Being deliberate about progressing from one to the other, as two discretely separate steps, would help my planning & organization efforts dramatically. The end effect should be a major boost in productivity for me. Thank you so much for the advice.

[@scottcates]

Lignum Viteeeee Lovin'♥ Fun Fact: Lignum Vitae has been traditionally used for deadeyes also. And, to this day, it makes exceptionally good shaft bearings for large boats and battleships.

[@mediationer]

Did you say "battleships" as in a modern-day government-built steel ships, or some other meaning of the phrase battleships, which we are all ignorant of?

[@TitoRigatoni]

@@mediationer "Modern-day" is kind of a misnomer; there hasn't been a battleship made (in the US at least) since the 1940s. I think the last ones were decommissioned in the 1990s so there are none existing in the fleet at all.

[@number1genoa]

I recall a local who made a modern rendition of a coastal sailing scow he used old chipped lawn bowling balls to make the sheaves for wooden blocks.

[@bigredc222]

It's also called ironwood, it so dense it doesn't float, it sinks like a rock in water.

[@abroughear]

It's been replaced by white metal bearings in most new construction (for cost reasons, not performance or durability ones), but there are thousands of lignum vitae bearings still in service- notably, a lot of the thrust bearings that massive hydrodynamic power plant turbines sit on and spin at the bottom of dams from the first half of the 20th century. None of which are expected to need replacement, or even maintenance, anytime this century or quite likely the next.

[@edwardschmitt5710]

The natural forces that are harnessed by the sails to move about also work to tear the boat to bits. Historical solutions like that post are a testament to thousands of years of trial and error sailing throughout the world. In turn such things were critical to open the world for trade and cultural exchange. I'll never ever look at a wooden sailing ship the same again.

[@johanneshalvorsen275]

This is genuinely the ONLY channel on KZbin where the sponsor segment is the best part of an episode. Surfshark ought to pay for a figurehead for Tally Ho cast in pure gold. Of The Dutchess of Desire, of course! 😂

[@EleanorPeterson]

Lignum vitae is gorgeous stuff and certainly one of the hardest/densest/heaviest commercial [sic] timbers, but there are quite a few weird (and scary!) woods around the world that only get used locally because their properties are too extreme for commercial use. When I lived in East Africa (Kenya) in the late '70s and '80s I was given an unidentified log. It had been in a friend's shed for around 60 years. Nobody knew what it was. 14" in diameter and 5' long, it took four people to shift it; it was as dense as brass. Struck with a hammer, the log actually rang. Under the dust it was a beautiful mottled milk-chocolate/dark-chocolate brown, sparkling with silica. It was like a blend of snakewood and wengé, but even more dense and harder than both. Scrapings and dust smelled of black pepper, and splinters from it turned septic overnight. My regular tools made barely a mark on it; it was fissile, but proved almost impossible to saw, plane and drill. Sort of like African Blackwood with attitude. I was a cabinetmaker (of sorts) back then, and couldn't think what to do with it. As material for woodworking it was (quite literally) useless. My friend said his late father had acquired it and thought it had come from somewhere in West Africa. That's all he knew. For over half a century it had lain in a shed, gathering dust and laughing at the beetles and termites, who couldn't do anything with it either. When I left Kenya I passed the log on to another woodworking pal, who put it in his timber store. It's probably still there to this day. I imagine there are sheds all over the world stacked with slabs of mysterious and exotic timber that are just too weird for commercial use.

[@brandoc.5936]

[@jimmycricket7385]

It has been a leap of faith for Leo to take on this task. He knows he couldn't have done it without a team of skilled workers - and large sums of money from generous donors. And of course, he had no way of knowing he would get either. The entire project could so easily have ground to a halt and been shelved indefinitely. If I could ask Leo one question it would be, 'Has it always been your experience in life that people help you when you need it?''

Recently discovered this channel and have spent a lot of time watching. INCREDIBLE! Fascinated with the subject matter and persons involved. P.S. These videos are a beautiful juxtaposition of our micro-miniature electronics world > KZbin! and sailing tech. The mere fact we may watch a wooden ship being built in the recent history older manner is wonderful. When I think of sailing tech being one of the pillars of technological development in civilization since it's coming. I wonder with positive fascination...What wonders may be before us in a world a 100, 500, 6000 years hence? I'm optimistic

[@patchmack4469]

fabulous to see the love and skill going into this boat, the attention to detail and making joints such a tight and perfect fit, i cannot help but wonder if boats of this type were built to such a high quality back in the day, especially when you consider the differences in technology, the abundance of materials, while money might have still played its part, materials and labour i guess were much less - i would love to inspect an old boat and see if joints were as clean and how they have lasted - perhaps Leo might do a short film on that subject, that Sampson post is pretty special and the way it all connects to the boat, some very clever building again considering the history of boat building and how the stresses were worked out

[@rogerwatkinson6633]

Brilliant video as usual. I don't know what I am going to do once Tally Ho is finished and the nature of your videos will, of necessity, change dramatically...

As always, amazing work and progress! Saltheart, Lignum Vitae has a deep history of various uses. It is rare. It just occurred to me that a suitable alternative might be Bois d’arc aka boardark, horse-apple, or Osage Orange. This wood is extremely durable. Native Americans made bows from it. Yesterday I harvested several large logs near a creek on my ranch. It should be noted this this wood’s dust can make one very sick if inhaled over a long period. Thought this wood might be handy to others. Rare but relatively easy to find online. Better yet. Find a horse-apple tree.

There goes my theory of it being a cannonball hole from Pirates.

I could watch this amazing woodworking all day.

Dove tail on a dove tail… mind blown.

Leo, you are a sailor, boat builder and an ARTIST! Tallyho has been reincarnated as a thing of exquisite beauty. Every episode is good for my soul. Thank you to you and your team.

Uh… What happened to your fabulous intro ? 😢

[@amandahugankiss4110]

wood working makes for a poor intro?

[@SamJG99]

I like the idea of doing THE intro every other video or every third. I don’t think it’s needed for every video

[@kinsana1]

@@amandahugankiss4110would certainly not put it that way … 😅 But i miss the opening credit !

His name is Leo and he is a boat builder and a sailer. He bought this boat for $1.

Even the deck wash bucket is a work of art!😅👍

Oh, the Dutchess of Desire! Be still my beating heart! (And the woodwork is pretty good too.)

You guys are so funny. You always look like you are loving what you are doing and your work is first class.

It's not noodling. It's "measure twice, cut once." If you don't, you get "measure once, cuss twice"

Another lignum vitae fun fact is that it has only recently been replaced by modern materials as a prop. shaft bearing on submarines because it is self lubricating, long lasting and most importantly for sub use it runs quiet.

I'm sorry, but I've watched 10s of this video and I don't know: 1) your name 2) whether you're a boat builder or a sailor, both or niether 3) what this wooden thing is you're working on 4) how old it might be 5) if you bought it for $1 or more... I think I'm gonna go back to bed 'cos clearly the sky is about to fall on my head.
