EPISODE 127
Pete and Zeal fit the covering boards… these wide planks go around the outside of the deck and cover the connection between the deck and the hull. They are a very complicated shape due to all the plank-nibs, and they are cut out of huge boards of Teak.

Have to say Pete promised a shout out to say he is the BEST hand on deck for this rebuild. GOOD WORK PETE. Maybe say my name out loud before the shout out…..

[@MrMatto84]

Yeah I was thinking the same he's a great worker

[@rchristie5401]

This vessel is a work of art. I bet the original was not made as well as this version. This time in its history, the men and women who built it are forever immortalized. As is should be.

[@easymoney8535]

That could be argued. Just being devil's advocate here. I seriously admire Leo's and the entire crew's dedication to the craft and the ethos of 'doing it right'. However, when _Tally Ho_ was first built there was a plethora of seasoned wooden boat builders that had been doing this for all of their lives and they had been apprenticed under generations of boat builders before them for untold centuries. To them, this was just everyday what was expected. And new prime timber was readily available. The best stuff wasn't cheap even then, but, not quite as rich and rare as nowadays. But Leo and modern boat builders do have the luxury of the modern information age. It is much easier to find information on failures and what caused them, and how to avoid them. Starting off with a boat that has outlasted 99.9% of the craft that were her peers is a good start on knowing what works.

[@junkname9983]

​@@easymoney8535 but imagine what they can do with today's material (lumber aside) and power tools, would they even use them because they're fast and possibly more precise, or would they be stubborn about it and stick with their hand tools? For example, look at all the modern metal fasteners, do you think their old screws can match the quality and strength? Do you think their hand carved joints could match in function? I'm thinking this new boat should be tons lighter and stronger than the original.

[@alexhamon9261]

@@junkname9983 fasteners availability wasn't that much different all the way back until the invention of the metal lathe. Copper rivets, bronze screws, bolts, etc is all pretty old school because it works.

[@helplmchoking]

@@easymoney8535 I'd argue it's a lot easier to get the little details right these days, not so much because modern technology allows you to do it better (although it definitely can in many cases, not so much on a wooden boat though) but because you can model, plan and build everything else much easier, faster and more reliably so you have more time available for little details. Plus, this is a labour of love among a small, tight knit group rather than employees working a job for payment, for every passionate boat builder there were plenty of people just feeding the family. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but I'd argue the team here are more attuned to the details and fit and finish than a "mass" production company 100 years back

[@michaelpeterson4348]

[@thomasbecker9676]

Measuring sticks, as shown @16:00 are super old-school. I know some old timers who swear they're faster and more accurate than using anything with actual units marked on them.

[@polarguyinak1]

Absolutely - no paralax, no rounding; simply cut to fit!

[@09conrado]

I'm a restoration sculptor. I much prefer sticks and calipers for measuring over tape mesures. It's so easy to screw up when you need to remember numbers

[@Arnaud58]

It is a proven method. There is only one transfer of the measurement. Similar to making the templates for the covering boards. Direct and thus accurate.

[@paulgush]

Definitely more accurate when measuring two outside edges like a pair of bulkheads. It's like the large scale version of the outside measurement arms of a set of callipers

[@MikeAG333]

They're called pinch sticks. Most woodworkers use them.

[@mdouglaswray]

The deck boards and outer edges look awesome! Pete has really put in a pile of work - seems like he's in every single video. THANKS PETE.

[@donkoltz1]

Pete is a damn champion.

Hey Leo!!! So cool to see the project coming along. Im just coming by to tell you that because of these videos I discovered the Northwest School of Wooden Boat Building and am one of the Fifty Students Attending in the fall of 2022.

[@number1genoa]

Cutting a complex shape for the SBC on very expensive timber with a skillsaw while your mates and the world look on, no pressure then Pete :-)

[@zakseipel9494]

I love seeing ol-timers work. Years of experience and lots of mistakes. Leading to one conclusion. A stick is better than any unit of measurement.

[@MikeAG333]

A pair of sticks. They're called pinch sticks, and have been used forever. I'm amazed that this had to be explained to others on the team, as it is the standard way of taking "measurements" in between two surfaces. If you are fitting a shelf into an alcove, for instance, you would be mad to measure it any other way.

[@bungfupanda8936]

In the royal navy we used a similar method for measuring & cutting damage control timber, it was called a gunter batten, it had a pair of clamps to lock the two battens into position together, the reason for locking them together being that if you could get the gunter batten back to the damage control station you would be able to get the cut timber back to where it was needed for shoring up. I still use that method for all manners of jobs, for smaller gaps I use a small pair of wedges, which works the same way and just as well.

[@AnthonyHigham6414001080]

@@MikeAG333 Was thinking the same thing although in recent years I've taken to using a laser measure. Quick and accurate for internal measurements and particularly useful for situations like a rafter plate to the ridge beam distance where a tape measure is impractical. The templating and scribing work on Tally Ho is awesome to behold, more accurate than I could work to.

Richard is right. I learned from a 60 year old carpenter who scribed almost everything. Perfect fits, twice to 10 times faster as our short term memories wane,

[@mimimaitri1]

I love his tips and tricks like this.

[@CurmudgeonExtraordinaire]

Yep, a lot of times it's not important what the exact measurement is, but repeatability... For example, if you are building a table, it's (usually) not that important / noticeable if the height is +/- 1/8" of the target height, but is is noticeable if the legs are not all the same height... Measuring, marking, and cutting each piece introduces minute errors, it's better to use a stop and ensure that everything is cut to the same length... Not that this seems to be an issue with a boat since it looks like *everything* is a different length or angle... :)
