I have been watching Tally Ho since ep.1, and it never ceases to amaze me at the unbelievably talented people that have become involved in the project, I am down the rabbit hole watching skills that I didn't think I would ever get to see. Thanks for getting involved, and looking forward to the next episodes!

[@VintageMachinery]

Looks like you are off to a good start! Glad to have you helping out on this project!

[@dannyvanstraelen3273]

man, it's great to see an other craftsman given his contribution to the Tally Ho. I've been following the project form almost when the ship was bought for 1$ as a complete wrack and now is becoming one of the most beautiful and professional restored ships. Thank you very much shearing your knowledge and craftsmanship, we love it…

[@GordDiv]

I continue to be impressed at Leo’s ability to attract talented folks who want to contribute to the Tally Ho reconstruction. When Leo first started I became a Patreon just to acknowledge his heroic ‘one man’ endeavour to somehow rebuild this sailing ship and over the years people appear who and similarly impressed and want to contribute Talent attracts talent

[@sparrowdudu]

It is fascinating. Even just the brand Tally Ho seems to attract many viewers; this chap's most popular video previously had 8700 views - this one already has 87,000 in three days ! So it should be a big boost to his channel, and deservedly so.

[@thomaselliott573]

yeah, it shows how dumb people are. this is very basic stuff@@sparrowdudu

[@radamus210]

Well howdy Dave the Pattern guy! I'd say your YT family just got a bump. Man, having a flashback to my childhood in my dad's cabinet shop. This is old schooling! look at that collection of pinch dogs, scribes and dividers! WOW! But most impressive, what a disc sander! Holy hell that's a big boy - Add pattern making for casting to the growing list of classes attended at "Tally Ho University" ~ We've had some pattern making classes before but this one will be most interesting and look forward to how this all works. Amazing to consider the age is which these things were first made. Shout out from over Toledo way 👍

[@scottwilhelme9880]

In the late 80s I lived downtown Omaha. My walk to work went past a wood pattern shop. It was an old building with a new glass storefront. It was as clean as an operating room. The old guys working there wore nice clothes and aprons. It was a mix of woodworking machinery and hand tools. I always wanted to stop in and talk to them about their work, but they looked very stern and busy so I didn't bother. They always had interesting shapes in various stages of construction on their benches. Big fan of the Tally Ho build, so I look forward to seeing the capstan as it is remade!

[@davideckley5901]

Great video, Im a Tally Ho subscriber for ages, also now on your channel - Dave, Johannesburg South Africa

[@dave_in_florida]

Glad to see a Clevelander contributing to the tally, ho project!

[@ChimeraActual]

This is great! I follow Tally Ho as an ex-boat builder, occasional pattern maker, last worked about 30 years ago, now I also follow you. That big disk "sander" is really a pattern maker's shaping tool, and it's amazing what you can do with one. I still have my 20" State for hobby work. Fond memories.

[@youthdawg]

Thanks for supporting Tally Ho! I am glad to subscribe to you

[@shawnmika9275]

Thank you so much for partnering with Tally Ho !

[@mikequinlan9585]

This is awesome Dave!

[@Roger-og2ty]

My father was a pattern maker. My first job at 14 was a cleanup kid of the shop he worked at. I was there for a couple years and even worked in a foundry that was affiliated with the shop in Los Angeles when I got out of high school, I took the test to become an apprentice, but a personal family friend who was the business agent of the local told me and my father it was a dying trade I still have all of his tools the business I started as a structural steel fabrication shop was around the block from the pattern shop he worked in. They made a lot of valves and other items for the oil industry as well kinds of other products oddly enough, a friend I made years later brother-in-law has an aluminum foundry and was well aware of the shop. My father worked at and actually had work done by them. Watching you build a pattern with all the different woodgrains and using The dogs to assemble it and talking about the sprinkler rules takes me back 50 years thank you very much you’re one of a handful of pattern makers left

[@TheMrBrianh]

I am an avid watcher of the Tally HO project. Thanks for helping the cause!

[@eastcoastandy2905]

Already a Tally Ho fan, nice that the YT logic offered this gold mine too. Good stuff!

I've been watching Sampson Boat Co for 2 or 3 years now and I'm so glad this popped up in my recommendation. You are all awesome ❤

Here for Tally Ho too, fom the UK. I really enjoyed watching your work. Thanks, Dave.

[@JustFamilyPlaytime]

Tally Ho! is slowly taking over the internet. This is a good thing.

Great video! Love to keep watching! DD

[@Trebuchet48]

Awesome! Another Tally-Ho related channel! Not only have I been following Leo almost from the beginning, I live in Port Townsend, Washington, where Tally Ho now resides! I've seen her and walked on her deck during last year's open house. Maybe again in a week or so! Thank you for helping Leo out!

[@trep53]

Tally Ho! Love it. My uncle ran a pattern shop in Cleveland at Saranack Rd and E 152nd St in the Collinwood area and as a young man I got to see his work. Very interesting work.

[@ightwoman]

Thanks Dave for contributing your expertise and knowledge to the Tally Ho project. Your name has been added to the every increasing list of master craftsmen who are contributing to this wild and crazy project.

it is so cool to see another craftsman assisting Leo and you are fro my home town Cleveland!! been watching tally ho for years now!

Hi Leo, this presentation makes me appreciate your excellent talent at describing the technical into easily understood language.

[@davidbrunkow64]

It's always fascinating to watch a true craftsman at work!

[@Si-jk4iy]

Fabulous Work Dave. Anyone wondering, this is Analogue Traditional (but top notch) vs. Modern Souless Digital CNC. How it used to be, when Trades were appreciated and valued, and jobs rather than profit built communities.

[@generessler6282]

My great uncle Frank was Austrian, trained in the guild system as a pattern maker and molder. He did work very much like this. He passed away in the 1980's, but I remember him fondly. Thanks so much for reminding me of his life and work.

[@davezipman8959]

Another craftsman at work! Pattern makers in foundries were the cream of the workforce and you're definitely continuing that tradition.

[@gallagher68]

I had the privilege of working with pattern makers for a specialty cast-iron foundry here in Alabama. What you are doing is nothing short of art. It doesn't matter if it is a one-off or a production piece, it requires the same skills. I absolutely love seeing the old patterns from old cast iron machinery, knowing the skills it took to make those patterns only makes me appreciate them even more. Dave Clark The Pattern Guy, thank you for what you do.

[@Chris.from.1950]

Hey, Dave! Thanks for titling this the way you did! The algorithm made sure I saw it!

[@bawrytr]

Very interesting process. It's kind of amazing to see the level of woodworking that goes into patterns.

[@Nphen]

Today I learned that intricate metal casting work relies upon intricate pattern woodworking to be cast from. I clicked "like" for the material conservation efforts and "subscribe" for the workmanship. Glad to see this piece get re-cast. It looks incredibly heavy though!

[@mgregory2430]

As a kid I was a pay clerk at the main navy dockyard in Oz, in the 80s. If only I had had reason to wander around and peer in the various shops on the base. These trades were still around. I never knew what a pattern maker was then . This is interesting. But I just went in the various shops to deliver the pay. No time for gawking. This is a bit of time travel. Brilliant.

[@h2energynow]

Awesome work, free handing circles. Wow.

[@kf6948]

Came for Tally Ho. Hoping to enjoy more beyond that. Keep it up! Edit: If you ever happen to be in Nova Scotia, I manage museum that was a 1894-1958 steam powered sawmill and woodworking shop. The owner was also a pattern maker. I'd be very happy to give you a tour.

[@danmetzger5583]

I was wondering who was gonna step up and replace that part. I watch both Sampson Boat and Keith Rucker and watched them take it apart!

[@phlodel]

If Keith couldn't get it apart without breaking it, probably no one could.

Don't forget Windy Hill Foundry...

Following this also. Watch Tally Ho's progross for quite awhile now. Love this guy too because my dad was a wood patternmaker for metal castings in Tacoma Wash. Did most his work for Fick and Acme Foundry's.

[@charlesseymour1482]

That's a big disk sander!

Ships still have capstans, and even what are called winches on sailboats are small capstans. Tally Ho is the feel good project of this era. Leo is amazing in his ability to attract talent like you. Thank you for helping!

Been following Tally Ho from day one. Found Keith Rucker through Leo and now you and Windy Hill. You guys have talents that have been honed through decades of dedication. Thanks for sharing. Oh, that is the biggest and baddest disk sander I've ever seen.

[@A.Hidell]

Hey. Fascinating to see how this is done like much of the various trades and crafts associated with Tally Ho.I'm old enough to know about contraction in metal pouring as metal work was then taught at schools.Remaking this part is the better way to go as the original was damaged before the disassembly of the capstan.Tally Ho is being rebuilt to a very high standard and i'm sure you guys will equal that workmanship and get this capstan to a great working condition. Its amazing how many people are being drawn into this project each with their own unique abilities.Hats off Sir. I will subscribe.

Cool project Dave, I watch Clarke and Keith. Will definitely be following along!! Looking forward to the next video.

[@charlottefrolich9477]

Thanks Dave! Nice work just subscribed! Came across from Tally Ho !

[@ki4clz]

I was an industrial electrician for 20 years in a ductle iron foundry, and made fast friends with the guys in the pattern shop... whenever there was nothing to do, I'd go and hang out with them. ..

[@gunnar_langemark]

I've been following Leo's channel since the beginning of the lockdown, and it's funny how I get these other channels to follow because they're somehow related to Tally Ho and Leo. I totally agree with the remarks on how fascinating it is to follow all the fantastic craftspeople. Good luck with the pattern. (My great grandfather and his brothers and father and uncles all worked in pattern making and casting, so it's very interesting to follow your work). Greetings from Denmark

[@jackpledger8118]

Really interesting to see how patterns for this type casting are made. Never seen anything this complex done.

[@BLKMGK4]

Awesome, Tally Ho sent me :)

[@forrestgumpv9049]

Good to see your hands on this project, I feel this will succeed now. I hope someone takes dimensional readings from all the parts and makes a solid model in a CAD program at some point. Everything was piece made back then, so no two were exactly alike.

[@doctwiggenberry5324]

Glad you joined part of the Tally Ho adventure. Fascinating work to build the pattern. Will look forward to the next installment.

[@wornoutwrench8128]

Interesting stuff. I have been watching Leo since he started Tally Ho, that man is incredible. Have watched Keith on and off for years too, I sort through his stuff to watch what I like. I watched the episode when he was attempting to take this apart. I'm an old mechanic, I have done crazy jobs like taking things like the capstan apart so I really felt his pain when it broke. I was on a job many years ago when the company I worked for took on the project of rebuilding the drives for a Hydro Electric Dam spill gates. One of the castings was cracked and they brought in a patten maker to draw it up to have a new one made. I was in awe watching him get it all measured up and on paper. Fast forward a month and a nice brand new wooden pattern showed up at the shop. Just beautiful. Subscribed. Now time to go watch some of your other stuff.🤪

Dave takes a look at it at "guesses" 14 9/16." 😊 Truly, a master.

[@Tennessee101AB]

I’m sure you can do this old school way, but I would use a 3D printer to make the pattern. We have the technology to use 3D and make it accurately. Then when the pattern is made with 3D casting plastic, use the lost wax method to pour the casting as like other brass items. So good luck.

[@fernandofert9960]

I really like to see that layout process in full time from above.

[@davidhall1779]

watched Keiths channel and he and Clark take that apart, wow it was one corroded fused together mess. they did great getting it apart at all. now its awesome to watch the build to put it all back together.
