EPISODE 131
In this video we take a tour of Tally Ho’s interior, which is coming together pretty quickly now!
George has been building some beautiful bunk-sides from the original 112-year-old Teak planks. Richard is building bunks and Oak cabinetry, and Patrick has fit a lot of Ash sole-boards.
Meanwhile, Leo works on figuring out the companionway steps and battery locker, Clifton fits the Skylight sills, and Pete adds some more Purpleheart to the Centerline… there’s a lot going on!

[@gsl4mbert]

This was a really fun episode. It was edited in a very different style than you normally do. But it was great seeing lots of different projects being worked on.

[@JeffGeerling]

And Leo used a gimbal! It was fun seeing everyone's reaction to it.

[@schannoman]

And he still did the magical hand tool to music sync that gets me every time. Love it

[@Zvolis]

yes, I want to see that gimbal as well 😄 because ewerybody was excited about it..

Looks like Patricks transformation into a Boatbuilder and a sailor is complete. Amazing to see how much he learned and changed during this project.

[@Pow3llMorgan]

It really is. He's such a sweet guy :P

He just oozes positive energy.. nice!

[@itsyourround]

Leo, when does the merch line come out? Would be cool to have the line drawings of Sampson printed on some t-shirts. It might help find some more batteries. ;-)

[@hollygregson6040]

I really enjoy Patricks sense of humor

[@tinkmarshino]

I have been a carpenter/woodworker all my 7 decades and just get lost in these wood puzzle shows like this.. I have enjoyed this one from almost the very beginning.. The thing is I get so into it that I am always surprised at the end.. I expect it to go one for a normal day.. Or what used to be a normal day for me.. worn out bones have sidelined me these days but thanks to guys like you and your team Leo I can still get some of the old feeling and enjoyment brought back to my mind as I watch the lads do such fine work.. thank them all for me would you Leo.. the make an old mans heart glow with happy warm memories.. Carry on!

[@Orangie2008]

So true! I was watching him work on that piece of mahogany and I could nearly smell the wood chips and dust.

[@tinkmarshino]

@@Orangie2008 YEAH Kurt.. It happens to me also.. Makes me want to get out and do a little work in my tiny shop.. (If it wasn't 100* out) Well, carry on ole son.. here's to our memories! May they never fail us..

[@MrPotatochips4]

One brilliant decision I made in 1980 was, to spend my time working with wood. It was a great teacher, all the woods. I also liked stonework, masonry, and metalwork. But the smell of POC, Walnut, DF, Pine, these vids recall.

[@tinkmarshino]

@@MrPotatochips4 That is for sure.. and working with wood teaches you patients and gives you a good eye for fine details.. I have enjoyed it so much.. I can even still do little project from time to time to bring back the joy.. Carry on P.C.4!

[@Si-jk4iy]

Well said. There was an interesting documentary about the CrossRail Project in London, where I believe they said that the final 5% of projected work took 20% of the total time budget! I expect to see something similar happen with Tally Ho! Though I don't think people here will mind the "extra" opportunities that a longer project will give. Fastnet 2025 is the Goal- 100 years since she last entered and won that iconic race - work backwards from there to establish when Tally Ho will depart Port Townsend..... Just sayin'

[@Wombbatts]

You can also put your electronics and controls into plastic or metal waterproof enclosures. Interconnect the enclosures with corrugated conduit with gland fittings and you could wash down the area with a hose and it would remain water proof. Enclosures use backboards to mount components on so you can build the panel on the backboard on a bench and bolt it in place in the enclosure with studs. This prevents making perforations into the enclosure itself for mounting. If you do this boat wide, you will have a waterproof electrical system that is also gas tight enough to prevent salt environment corrosion, making the electrical system last decades longer. I was an electrical engineer that designed controls\ systems for use in a harsh chemical environments, very similar application. Anything you can install can be installed inside an enclosure with a door with a window. It is visible and easy to access. There is no reason that the standard surface mount boat electrical devices from blue sea etc, can't be mounted on a panel in an enclosure.

[@nickyork8901]

excellent advice

[@frankbrown9618]

Excellent advice. Shall we see you as a member of the crew? It would be interesting seeing how your suggestions can be implemented in practice.

[@thomasbecker9676]

I spent a few years doing electrical harness design on bizjets and transportation, and we did similar things in the "swamp" areas of the aircraft, places exposed to the elements, heat, chemicals, etc. It takes time and money sealing everything upfront, but the benefits far outweigh those costs.

[@morgan5941]

Patrick the Soleboard Whisperer, George the Tea Manipulator, Pete the Technicolour Wood-Magician, Clifton the Unusual Shape Specialist, Richard the Jig Wizard of the First Order, and Leo the Gimbal Master of Video Content. A great tour of the Tally Ho and the team is doing an amazing job - it looks super good. Thanks for sharing!

[@dnick1981]

To any young adult watching: this is what a well managed, passionate, diverse group of personalities can look like. Everyone patiently doing their work. Everyone being trusted and gently coached by someone with at least as much, or more skill and care than they have. This is what you are looking for in a workplace. Congratulations to Leo and the whole crew. This is an outstanding project.

[@Paddman]

i would never skip a sponsor for this great project but leo made this so funny i had a hard time keeping my coffee in.

[@ATONAL6173]

So proud of you for taking the leap to doing a sponsor spot, we can tell how hard it was and what a growth moment it was for you. I wanted to let you know that we don't think any less of you, as I imagine you probably had been concerned that it was not in line with your personal ideals or preferences for the project and you would be somehow betraying your viewers or donors. It's necessary and doesn't degrade you or your project in the slightest. Always a pleasure to see you and your project grow and change. Good on you and the team! Gorgeous work, great example for all of us taking on a mega dream project that almost no one would have advised you to do.

I'm still jealous of Leo's sketching skills.

[@JeffGeerling]

It is amazing seeing how complete the boat is (acknowledging how much more work remains!). Just last year I remember you talking about the interior and barely beginning to add structure inside. Now the decking is nearly complete, and the interior is already looking gorgeous without the finishing touches. It'll be fun seeing the engine drop in, and seeing the first cockpit! Keep up the great work! Thank you for taking us all on this journey. I get the same vibes I used to get watching This Old House with my dad on the weekends (before they started doing million+ dollar renovations). I feel like Norm Abrams would be right at home in that shed.

I'm working on my PhD in power electronics right now and the fact that you choose LiFePO4 batteries shows you really did your homework. Everyone is obsessed with energy density but LiFePO4 is a great proven technology and it will serve you really well and has great longevity. It also doesn't contain cobalt so one day maybe you can sail to the Congo with a clear conscience. Now if we could just get them into cars.

I’ve been fortunate to follow the rebirth of the Tally Ho from the first video. I am utterly amazed at amount of effort to deconstruct and then reconstruct this beautiful, functional work of art. Literally tens of thousands of pieces to this puzzle that must be precisely crafted and skillfully fitted together. Thank you so much for allowing all of us to follow you on this incredible journey.

Great episode Leo!! Please spend 10-15 minutes in one of your videos and show us how you go about sharpening your "bladed" (planes/chisels/etc) tools and explain all the nuances associated with the techniques that are used to get your tools so sharp to enable such precise work. To anyone who is the least bit familiar with doing any amount of "fine joinery", it's immediately obvious watching your videos how sharp and well adjusted your cutting tools are!!! It would be a GREAT benefit to all of us to gain some knowledge in the techniques required to get our blades nice and sharp like what you show. Thank you!!!

Great work being done everyone. Something tells me you'll be launching Tally Ho next summer. What an adventure this has been! Thanks Leo. I'm happy to be a Patreon member.

[@hughbugger]

I was pleased by the way Leo said "this payed for two batteries". In my mind it made the annoying advertisement okay as you knew your wasted 20seconds was going to a good cause! I'm please to see he's getting some financial backing though, would love to see Makita throw them some powertools

[@friesm2000]

Go mention tally ho and Leo with how they use makita tools, on Makita youtube page, or their Facebook page. IE: make sure to bring it to their attention

While we're at it, maybe Festool too!

[@m.reichert9348]

I have the impression, they have about all the tools they need and then some ;) Maybe these companies should rather throw in some money for all the expensive stuff that Leo still needs to buy for the boat. And if they are decent, they dont ask him to mention them explicitly, would probably do more harm than good. Every potential Makita/Festool/Bosch customer, who follows this channel, knows by now, that Leo isn't messing around when it comes to quality, so him and his crew using these tools to do such amazing work every day is all the advertisment they can ask for.

Wow I really enjoyed the change of perspective to a humorous, broader view of the interior work. In the early days it was hard to visualize the interior spaces but now they look so complete, even though they are only partially done. So glad the original teak planking is getting used somewhere that is touched and seen by the crew in their day to day lives. That kind of attention to detail pays dividends over the life of the boat.

I never could have come up with something that creative and effective. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@DanielCooper1]

I love the people who work on this project - they're good folks and amazing craftspeople. Top notch humans.

[@towoombaresident8491]

After watching these vlogs from day dot I am still in awe of the skills of the shipwrights / carpenters you have and had on the team. Keep up the great work and I am looking forward to enjoying them for a couple of years more.

Love to see this "bow to stern" look at the inside of the boat. There is still so much to finish on the interior. Easily enough to last from now through winter. Knowing that the rigging & mast are 1/3 of the total build, I'm counting down to when we see those aspects take shape!

[@gradycooper475]

"about two years!"

[@rickrimmer2295]

This is a wonderful example of man’s ability to create a floating piece of art.

I can't wait till the end of all this when he finally launches Tally Ho...then tracks down and sinks Acorn To Arabella. Tally Ho, Boys! Save space for the Long 9s!

I think I like George's work the best. To be able to repurpose that old wood must be very satisfying.

[@rcpmac]

Saturday with Tally Ho! Thanks Leo! ⛵️

[@markzieg3593]

Companionway! Soles! Face frames! Bunks! Aft-deadwood! This one has it all. I enjoyed Pete putting shape to the last part of the keel. There is just something about shaping these massive timber’s. I suppose making the rudder will be one of the last times the big wood comes out. That depends I’m guessing on how you intend to go about making all of Tallyho’s spars. Great episode.

[@jacobmacleod4054]

Bro. That companionway-stringer-gutter-to-bilge-hole...next level. This is such a fantastic project and a fantastic team. With love from across the way on Camano!

[@arthurmetge2380]

The music and tool noises matching game is going stronger and stronger !! Incredible work.

[@nicosgoogleaccount1462]

This was probably the first ad ever in a video I didnt skip :)

[@Paddman]

i love to see patrick he makes me smile every time. must be great to work with him. also great video, as always! many thanks

[@milesfinlay]

Of course another Patrick would say that! 😂

[@sebr0F]

Jig-Wizard of the first order... I had a good laugh on that one. I really enjoyed this episode. Thanks Leo! :)

[@odonkers]

Blown away with the quality of the build, the craftmanship and the obvious joy of team restoring this beautiful ship

[@robertmiller5735]

These are all old world craftsmen doing oversize cabinet work. When you realize this ship is one huge piece of furniture , the amazement knows no bounds.

[@Jane_under_a_tree_with_a_book]

In a short time, Patrick has changed from a 'silly' young boy into a mature and competent man. Impressive and inspiring.

[@paulhaynes8045]

Still nicely silly though...

[@sambobman1]

Just remember you don't know them and you only see what you watch on these videos. Calling him a silly young boy at the start may be offensive especially because of my first statement.

[@agneslechno7645]

That million dollar Eastwood smile *-* , - and then Pete's strong arms grabbing thick boards, while Leo talking with the gentle smiling eyes. Shipbuilding is definitely fun on this channel 😊

[@oldwillie313]

Patrick is a successful artist with a great sense of humor not a silly kid.

[@agneslechno7645]

Bert Plank! sadly, the nick caravela was already taken on yt 🙃 - honestly, its a hint of ginger u always want out in the big blue. Gingerbread, gingerale ..

[@michaelcoe9824]

Ah, my Sunday morning treat here in Melbourne! Brilliant film making of an incredible project. So very many thanks to such a talented and wonderful group of people, as always, watching the work and the product of it is quite awe inspiring. She is a happy ship.

[@edwardbell1951]

Leo and the team of craftsman you have around you are doing a stunning job on Tally Ho. It only feels like yesterday you were putting the planks on and polishing up the brass brackets. This is just coming on with leaps and bounds! This Tally Ho rebuild is a testament to who you are Leo.

[@petercrizer6102]

This is an absolute lesson in 'order of making' - so many parts and pieces must be done in order to make things flow smoothly. Well done !

[@archstanton9206]

The boat is simply a work of art, no other way to describe it. But...this is to be expected, as your team of artisans is over the top. I am sure there are people managing projects all over the world who are jealous of Leo's good fortune in finding these people, he has had a knack for attracting the best, and that shows no sign of slowing down.

[@dennisdownes9319]

Awesome!! Top 5 Shameful Things Leo has Googled; 1. How to loose all self respect and embrace being a power boater. 2. How to get your crew to use the dead-blow hammer instead of their fist. 3. Was being from the U.K real or just a figment of my imagination? 4. Does teak sawdust provide dietary fiber? 5. In boat carpentry, Is extra caulking just "as good" as a proper fit, or is my crew gas-lighting me???

[@ciberbri59]

Leo searching on how to build a boat. Lol. Keep that one behind the firewall. Love that many layered British humor. I figured the cabinetry and interior would be mind blowing. You never disappoint. 👍

[@brubacherjo]

Everyone was so excited about the gimbal!!

[@elioboezio7107]

Such a "feel good" channel! Seeing skilled people doing their best, with obvious pride in their work, brings a smile to my face every fortnight.

[@davindunthorne8635]

It's really amazing to the see progress you have made Leo. The community you have built around Tally Ho is incredible. Love what you are doing and it's giving me inspiration for my own passion project. All the best guys, can't wait to see what comes next. ❤️❤️

[@joebrown1382]

Below deck is looking absolutely gorgeous. The carpentry & cabinetry is beautiful. This is the pretty part of watching this build.

[@dieterf.8826]

Even LiFePo can explode, or at least violently blow off gas, you should have some sort of ventilation system that allows gas to escape, just in case. Don't make that compartement water- or airtight. And don't underestimate the amount of heat these cells will procude. They have an efficiency of 90% (slightly more), but be aware that if you pull (or charge) 20 kW, they will produce somewhere between 1-2 kW of heat. You need, or should have, some sort of ventilation to keep everything cool.

[@W4ABN]

Beautiful boat. You're doing wonderful work on her.
