A realization struck me recently. I've lived almost 80 years, acquired two university degrees, am a bit of a jack of all trades, published a few books and spent almost 60 years as a professional pilot. The realization is that, with all that, I wouldn't have a clue as to where to even start what you're doing. I sit here and marvel at your continued accomplishments and wonder how I missed having such amazing knowledge. I can only hope I live long enough to see Tally Ho under sail with her lee rail awash. You are doing an awesome work!

[@raymondkoonce5827]

@Alexandr Retardo Thank you for the kind words. If I may suggest, I learned to fly in the U.S. Air Force, flying fighters. The training there is some of the best in the world, and if you're able to join, I would highly recommend that route. Best of luck.

[@corporalclegg914]

raymondkoonce - there’s no doubt to me that you’ve spoken to my dad while you were at or below 35k feet. he was with Atlanta Center ATC for 35 years as an en route controller. i agree with your sentiment, but your career seems pretty cool, too. i fly piston-powered aircraft (since mid 90s), so i’m in awe of pilots that flew in the 60s to present’ish day’s & imagine the technological changes/advancements you saw come & go.

I'm 74 and a retired shipwright.. and this young genius Goolding has got me covered too.. BravO to him eh mateys.. Love how he's combined old tech with the latest too and to hear him winge about JoYs of working on lofting floor.. 😊 Thanks 👍 😁

[@petewood2350]

Its great to see, some one with Energy and Passion for what they are doing, if he only does this one Yacht to completion, then he will have achieved more than most, may there be many more projects after Tally Ho, & if he chooses to take us along for the ride on YT then all the better.

[@dawctorfail]

This is the video that was first recommended to me when it came out, which lead to starting from the beginning and binging every episode to date. KZbin keeps recommending it again, so I suppose I’ll watch it for the third time

[@pbraun2102]

Oh yes and I went back to the very first after the launch of Tally Ho - continuing to marvel at the commitment, skills and enthusiasm which has attracted so many brilliant team members to support Leo in his project.

Yeah! Another video from Leo. We only get to watch after each of us have finished our housework and lawn work. This winter will be enjoyable as we will be able to follow Tally Ho while the snow flies. Wife and I are 70+ and have a lot of history of our own but enjoy this enough to sign on as supporters. Nice to see Cecca back.

[@flightplan1000]

Thanks, Leo. When I retired from my shipwright work I sold almost all my tools - most of them to young people beginning their boat building life. Besides a handful of heavy duty chisels, the one tool I kept was my lipped shipwright's adze. Same as yours. I still use it in the woods around my cabin here in Northwest Montana. Sorta' keeps my brain in the game...

Now that's grafting...my arms are aching just watching...unceaseless admiration for how you never cut corners.

[@Gottenhimfella]

It occurred to me to wonder if it would save time to start by creating (at first) only every second profile, leaving a margin on depth, use the power plane to get the bulk of the material off, then create every profile to full depth, followed by power planing to full depth. Seems to me this might be worth considering whichever way the profiles are created (adze, or "meat-axe")

[@roberthoyle6442]

Leo, I have followed you from the inception of your project and your PATIENCE and attention to detail have made me a much better woodworker! Thank you for sharing your project with the rest of the world.

[@svventure844]

That jig is genius & emphasizes the significance of accurate lofting. I have never seen that & thoroughly enjoyed watching!

[@Gottenhimfella]

Indeed. It has never occurred to me to use a laser line to enable drilling at a precise angle, by hand, without a helper, for one thing. Kudos to Leo for all of these gems, which are more precious for not being oversold or over-celebrated. Leo has a wonderfully light touch, and a particularly engaging line in innate humility.

[@gregstiles]

I personally see zero added wonder or dignity in the use of outdated equipment. That footage of the grinder disk thing is awesome and ten times more satisfying to watch than dickin around with that wood handled chopper. The worst is when a craftsman leaves a 16th at the line just for the pleasure of hand planing it off later. Great vid. keep truckin.

[@timothyobrien1850]

I had the pleasure of watching John Guzzwell work some years back at tuna packers in Hawaii. Now I have the pleasure of watching Leo do his work, life is fulfilled. Leo, a special thanks for your lofting video, in my view one of the finest descriptions of what it is that makes an Engineer.

[@owenpotter2459]

That Pancho is a total photo bomber and VERY aware of the camera! A total diva! It was fascinating to watch how you worked out the jig etc to shape the keel. Well done!

[@brokerhc]

I know that you have the aid of a floor drawing, laser tools and measuring devices but, at the end, and on top of all the boatbuilding skills that you have, there is an artist's brain that imagines all these cuts and end results. Your path success is guaranteed such as Da Vinci's was. Glad that Cecca is back.

[@mikefriend7570]

I’m blown away by your accomplishments at such a youthful age. I am 70, but by 28 I had only just finished at art school and whilst I may have accomplished an ability in painting and printmaking, I knew nothing of travel, little by way of interpersonal relationships to manage such a disparate group of volunteers etc. etc. I take my hat off to you Leo. I particularly enjoyed your treatise about how society has become risk averse, and it was music to my ear hearing you say that we all need to take risks and get things wrong in order to really progress

Innovative solution to marking the keel dimensions along it's length. Complex job that needed to be done right. You were up to the mark and are mastering the use of the adz as well. Looks like you've got things well in hand. Good work, captain. You're on your way to becoming a master shipwright.

[@jamesjakubik4428]

Good adz work Leo. My friend John Gardener (1905-1995) was a boat builder and curator at Mystic Seaport. He told me that the spike on the adz was used to adjust the blade to the correct angle. You lay the adz flat with the spike down. The end of the handle should be butted up to a stop. Then tap the spike to make a mark. Turn the blade of the adz around. The blade should be on the mark .

[@SampsonBoatCo]

Interesting! i heard that it's for pounding in nails deeper into a board so you dont hit them with your Adze

[@gdasailor4634]

@@SampsonBoatCo Yes I can confirm that that was the general method of aligning the "hang" angle of a White adze (considered to be the best maker) However not all tools are the same and it will depend on the user. Properly hung you can take a thin shaving or a thick bite. You can practice on a board between your feet - rest one elbow (say the right) against your hip and grasp the handle near the end with the same hand. You should be able to just strike on the back of the blade taking no shaving - lower your right hand a fraction and you get a shaving - lower your right hand a bit more and you make a deeper cut. If you bring your left hand down the handle closer to the right hand then you will become more relaxed and also have less shock. I bent laminated an oak handle for my adze 40 years ago. I recommend it - no shock! And yes, the spike also can be used to set in any nasty nail heads, however that takes a different skill and depends on the shape of your handle - the tool sort of feels "backwards".

Drilling Depth Holes (not sure what it is called) was the technique used on Mount Rushmore National Memorial back the early 1900's (1927 I believe was when it was started, completed in 1941). Awesome video Leo, thank you for showing what is possible with a little hard work. Such an inspiration you are to our children and young adults!

[@fransisguyon5163]

I believe Barns Wallace "the bouncing bomb of the Dam Busters" used the same technique to sculpt a portrait of his wife.

[@scottroberts3158]

I watch both your rebuild of the tally ho Leo, and Alix and Stephen's build of Arabella and it's incredible to see the difference in techniques between the two projects, from the sawn vs bent frames, to how you go about shaping the centerline timbers, this is to take nothing from Alix and Stephen as they do an incredible job with Arabella, but your experience in boat building shows in how you'er confident taking short cuts that save time when you know it won't affect the final outcome of the boat, where as they (smartly I might add, as they are learning as they go) do things incredibly methodically and carefully, it shows that anyone can learn anything if they're committed, but experience lets you do it fast without sacrificing quality. It's great to see a talented and experienced craftsmen such as you at work.

this is amazing. terrific work Leo! Watching the little nooks get filled in and faired is weirdly satisfying. really well done. And extra points for using the adze
