I'm lucky to live near Tally Ho and have seen it several times. I've also watched all of Leo's videos from the very start. I didn't know anything about wooden boats at first, but watching this has taught me tons. Being a woodworker and retired engineer, I must say that I'm hugely impressed by the level of quality and craftsmanship being built into this beautiful boat. Keith, your efforts, and those of the Windy Hill folks who did the casting, will add greatly to the beauty and functionality of this impressive craft. All of us who follow this project appreciate your efforts. Isn't it great to watch people come together to work creatively and constructively on a common goal? It's the human spirit put into action.

Same taper at both ends makes sense. In 1910.. so the capstan was build it saves time on a lathe to fabricate that shaft. Only turn around the shaft and no need to change the taper attachment was necessary .

Given the UK origin of the capstan, that thread is likely to be any of a number of British threads which may be 60˚ or 55˚ and may or may not have radiused crests and roots. It may not make much difference, since you will probably be making the nut to match and I seriously doubt that anyone will ever come up with an original replacement part that the thread will need to match.

If you are using a taper turning attachment, you don't need to measure the taper (Although nice to have for the drawing). Just set up the old shaft between centres and clock the attachment to the old shaft.

Keith, just a thought, you measured the long taper with the tape measure, but that’s the hypotenuse of the tapers triangle…. That 0.1002” per inch, might be 0.1000. I think it’s called cosine error, you should use a square and measure the shaft length, not the taper…. Best.

Interesting fact: ISO standard pipe threads are really BSP and they have a Whitworth 55 degree form too. The reason for this might be that Whitworth has rounded rather than flat thread peaks, so makes a better seal in tapered thread applications. And, also, it was already existing and common.

Many parts and pieces have been done from drawings on stick it notes and scraps of paper to table napkins. As long as you have the information you need it doesn't matter what paper it is on. Have only ever seen a taper mic once. Always had to trig them out unless I could get the engineer to do it for me. Always got by somehow. Yea I scrapped out sometimes but that is all in it. Can't wait to see the finished product. The guy who is building Tally Ho came to a small hardwood saw mill in south Ga. not far from where I live to get a lot of the oak slabs he built the boat with. The state of Ga. has provided a great deal of input in materials and labor such as Keith's assistance in helping with the capstan build. Imagine that...

Why would the old designers choose a 104 thousandths taper, when 100 thousandths would seem a "nicer" round number? Or was the + 4 thousandths simply within their allowed manufacturing error margin. Or were the mating parts simply "made to fit"?

Same here.. I did both Mechanical (technical) Drawing in HS and Metalwork too. Excelled in both. Achieved the highest ever scores in both exams and was in the newspapers 🎓. Whilst everyone else was making swords and Chinese throwing stars I designed and spent my whole HS years making a full functioning draughtsman's table which the head of the department bought. As a side piece I also cast and turned two complete chess sets out of aluminium. For my achievement I was awarded a scholarship at the British engineering company Babcock beating over 1000 applicants. Suffice to say, as an unruly young adult I completely ruined the opportunity, never turned up 60% of the time then quit. As I look back now after a life spent working in IT, how I wish I'd done things differently.

The taper is likely to be a round number, either in inches per foot, inches per inch or degrees. I would try to guess what the original drawing said in this situation (and I am fairly often in this situation, I play about with old vehicles around this vintage) Candidates seem to be 1:9, 1.250" per foot or 6.5 degrees included angle. Maybe it is worth machining a trial piece for the section that fits into the base casting. (machined between centres to that you can take it on and off the machine for the trial fits)

Hey Keith, It's always a good visit when you post for us. In this case blueprinting a piece really has it's merits. Having the old piece many won't do this and go back and forth between machine and old part. I far support making the blueprint to work this from. No back and forth nonsense. We can save a lot of time this way. I worked for almost 20 years on an old Chez late that had A taper attachment and over all that time never had the opportunity to use it. I am really looking forward to see you do the post up and coming to see just how yours is done. See you then Keith. Always good to see you bud.

Hi Keith, Very interesting to watch you figure out the correct sizes. A question do you have the original nuts? or are you making new ones. The reason I ask is being English, I am used to 'old' UK made items being threaded to 'English' standards (Whitworth), whilst anything coming from the USA is going to be threaded to American standards (UNC/F) so both systems have 1 3/8" x 6 but the thread angle for Whitworth is not ideally compatible to UNC

The nice thing about that taper measure is the usual system of measure scolds have nothing to complain about-the units cancel out so even though it's being measured/talked about in "inches per inch" it's actually a unitless quantity (which is to say it's just a ratio, and would be the same if it was mm/mm or light years per light year)

Regular use and maintenance should take care of that, if you recall tally ho was almost completely rotted when leo picked it up, so there was definitely a lack of maintenance to it or the rest of the boat for the last 20-50 years.

A 0.104” taper is 1.25”/foot taper. That would be a nice and normal target taper.

Out of curiosity, why would you make an entire new shaft? In the name of originality and cost, it seems like doing a flame spray to build up the shaft and machine it to the desired dimensions would be significantly faster and cheaper. Doing so you can easily achieve a surface finish conducive to a beryllium bronze bushing (bearing). You do good work. Love the videos.

Drafting was middle school for me -- 11yo. Loved that class! I ended up working for one of the very first CAD vendors (CADAM) thanks to the interest.

With the age of that part, and being British, you are likely looking at Whitworth (BSW) threads. 1 3/8" - 6 is a common BSW size.

. . . and thank you again, Keith. There were many holding one's breath moments, for me that is, as I tried to understand what was happening, especially the issues surrounding the chattering. Great stuff

What about the crazy British old school threads or do you like modern SAE? Love the project.

*- Keith: How to stop saltwater rusting of the shaft and freezing tight the bronze bushings?* *- Is there a way this problem is prevented with modern Capstans?* *- Are there modifications that you could do to prevent or moderate the shaft rusting issue?*

To clean out the brass bushings, use a cylinder honer tool, like for automotive use.

Keith, This seems like a good opportunity to turn between centers, it would probably make it easier when you go to turn your tapers. Please excuse my ignorance if this comment is out in left field.

I swear every time I hear this intro riff I think I’m about to start playing Yoshis Wooly World. The title screen music is eerily similar.
