Tally Ho's bowsprit!

Every time he says that, I’m thinking “Oh, he’s in a 12 step program”

[@alanhenderson9092]

I’ve spent most of my adult life at sea and I think that Tally Ho is one of the most meticulously built vessels I’ve ever seen. Part of me think it should be in a museum to show future generations how to build the perfect boat but In my heart I know she has to go to sea.

[@bixfrisbee2623]

I am salivating hoping I will soon see Tally-Ho under sail with the spray of the sea blowing over her deck. Beautiful yes, but please let's stretch her legs.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear @alanhenderson9092 👍👌👏 Almost exactly what I almost always think and also already commented. Tally Ho should be in a museum to show people how it can be done if excellent craftsmen do it. I'm shocked how much wear and damage for instance Arabella already took and I simply don't want it to happen to Tally Ho. On the other hand: Of course I want Leo to be happy. And without sailing Tally Ho, he will not be happy. At least I guess so. Best regards, luck and health in particular.

[@dphotos007]

I agree the craftsmanship is top notch and amazing.

[@reginaldgraves1684]

The modifications have created a few problems, notably the tight tolerances at the heel of the bowsprit created by adding a second Sampson Post. Since the original capstan is going to be reinstalled the run of anchor cable and lines might make an interesting five minutes.

[@DrAlex-ly3kz]

I will never get over how shockingly beautiful all of the woodwork on the Tally Ho is. Just impeccable.

[@stevenkeeffe]

"Bob, you're about to be all of our uncles".... "You know what they say... Third Time unlucky... Fourth time the charm"... All joking aside, that bowsprit turned out to be a beautiful hunk of historic timber. The fact that it has a story as old as Tally Ho just adds to the story.

[@felipep.4022]

“The first bit of the boat that you tend to poke into other boats when you’re racing” 😂😂😂😂 priceless. If you’re gonna poke’em, at least make the pokey bit look fabulous!

[@flit-the-history]

In all these years, in all these videos, Leo has had a cheerful demeanor and a smile on his face. In this episode I noticed his eyes smiling too! Well done Sampson Boat Co! Getting there!

[@afewdeer6627]

Thumbs up to Bob. It's a lot harder to put wood back than it is to remove it. "Sneaking uo" on something with a precise fit is something that is often needed in a number of crafts. The entire boat is like a giant piece of fine furniture and the practice is not unheard of in that trade either. Great job!

[@nigelleyland166]

I always like to see old timbers recycled, the fact that the bow sprit will be as old as Tally Ho is awesome! Also cool is launching a quad copter of a ship that was originally built before helecopters were inveted. Looking at the arial shot, she is going to be something to behold under full canvas!

WELL DONE Gentlemen!!! Although I must admit that I feared the bowsprit had fallen and was destroyed when I read the title. No one needs to be ashamed of their craftsmanship, as an electrician, if I hit the switch and the light didn't come on, just meant I wasn't done working. It's how you learn perfection.

[@barrybohnow5282]

Leo , it amazes me every time I watch one of your videos how far Tally Ho has come since the very beginning !! As A Fan of your project , I have really enjoyed Learning along with those like me , what it takes to be A Boat Builder !!! I would have never realized how difficult and detailed it is to build a boat like Tally Ho from The Ground Up !!! Every time i watch a new video I learn More and More , and CAN NOT WAIT for Tally Ho to Finally Sail !!! Don`t ever stop being who you are , you have brought The Craft of Boat Building to A Lot of people , and somewhere there are people who will want to do what you and the people who have helped build Tally Ho , have done !! You undoubtedly have Inspired Younger People to Start A Venture like you have !!! Keep It Up Leo !!!! Your The Best !!!!!

I think this series of videos is of significant historical importance. I think copies of the entire series, when completed, should be put on quality hard drives and lodged with sailing museums around the world. You can basically build a traditional sailing bot by watching these videos...!!! It only takes Elon Musk to buy KZbin and destroy it to upset the woke libs and its lost... The half life of digital information on the internet is 4 years.

[@tutekohe1361]

Here in Australia and New Zealand, it was customary to use Oregon Pine (Douglas Fir) beams around 15” by 5” as the mounting for sheep-shearing shed shaft-drives. Every old shearing shed in Australia and New Zealand has these beams in them - thousands of them. They would mostly be over 100 years old now. Beautifully seasoned and of the highest quality. Shaft-drive systems are no longer made for sheep-shearing, so the beams are becoming obsolete as the systems wear out. Hundreds of shearing sheds are abandoned now, complete with shaft-drives and beams.

[@moltderenou]

Something to keep in mind

[@SavingMaverick55]

Lots of good boatbuilding timber hiding in abandoned sheep sheds.

[@JG-ly2ij]

Rubbed off on all the floor grates (and in the air)… Don’t forget the lanolin. Further protection there.

[@fowletm1992]

They're all full.of holes though, you have the holes to mount the line shaft the holes to mount the beam to the poles holding it up abd the holes from where at least 2 types of electric shearing heads I recently donated out lineshaft gear to a mechanical restoration group, but the bean is still in use, has holes in every 4in by 4in square

[@drjonritz]

sounds like you found a gold mine

[@Waiakalulu1]

Creeping up on tolerances is all part of the process. Bob's DA MAN!!!!

[@buellb0y]

In Bobs defense, his work on the rail was spot on. The “issue” arose due to the 9 coats of varnish. Essentially, you made the bow sprit larger in diameter.

[@Orangie2008]

That drone shot backing away from the bowsprit and the outro planted a little vision in my mind of drone shots in the future of Tally Ho at sea. She's just so pretty! Cannot wait to see her fully rigged.

[@snowstrobe]

Oh yes! It's going to be amazing to see her out at sea, can't wait for those shots.

[@brucebenson5908]

I surmise that many and probably most here don't know just how hard it is to achieve such a remarkable degree of perfection in the varnish finish on the bowsprit. As with so many of the other steps in Tally Ho's rebuild there are many opportunities to get it wrong. Leo and the guys get it right. I'm shaking my head in awe and admiration.

[@danielpullum1907]

Well Done Maties!!!!!! You can't beat Douglas Fir. Our house is 75 yrs old. All of the framing is Doug Fir. It was a "kit" house and assembled by an established contractor who built it for his own family. An interesting thing I've found is ever piece of wood I've had chance to look at is stamped with a "part no. and name". The most incredible fact: The ceiling joist (2x8's) are one piece. That makes them 28' long. Yep, 28' long. The house frame is 28 X 56.

[@generessler6282]

Is Bailey doing all the varnish and paint work? If so she is the unsung hero. All the finishes look perfect. The Douglas fir story is amazing. Old Doug fir is a treasure. Worth the trouble to salvage times 50.

[@MrMilothedog]

It is HER Fault! It would have fit perfectly if she had used 8 coats of varnish instead of 9. 😂

[@stco2426]

Completely agree!!

[@Dave5843-d9m]

In 1986, I fitted Douglas Fir windows in my house. They still look as good as new. The similar age plastic windows absolutely do not.

[@garycohen6470]

As with my obsessive viewing of the (repeat) capstan casting videos, why am I holding my breath while watching the bowsprit hoisted (sort of) and removed and hoisted again? And if that’s true for me, HUGE PROPS to Bob for his calm demeanor (exterior, anyway) and good cheer. What talent! We all know your crew pretty well by now, Leo; we KNOW this adventure will have an awesome, happy ending! And yet here I am, a blue-tinged fan. . .

An aspect of this project that we tend to overlook. As well as all Leo's other talents, he has led this entire project superbly - and there were times, especially in the early days, when it must have been incredibly stressful.

That is my favorite part. Never is there drama (unless you count the Duchess of Desire lol) Just a nice quiet confidence and a hardy laugh when something goes wrong.

[@gunnar_langemark]

Watching how the team builds around Leo, gains confidence, some of the members learning new skills and all of them growing to become a real tightly knit little boatbuilding team, is the best thing about this Tally Ho project, besides the obvious 'Have wood - want boat' thing, where we can enjoy how beautifully pieces of wood come together to become this wonderful craft. It's such a joy.

[@Unctahdew]

I’ve watched this build from the very first day. It’s the only project I’ve I’ve followed on KZbin. The amount of work is unreal. I’ve always been impressed with everyone’s skill level and I’m excited to see it sitting in the water!

I’m sure the bowsprit would have fit first try had there been only eight coats of varnish on it instead of the nine coats! Nice work, Bob!

The tight grain of the bowsprit blew me away , it looks like the grain on the top of a fine guitar ! Well done Leo you did it again Tally Ho the project that just keeps giving us great content . Thanks , Cheers

[@Varadiio]

If you're interested in some wood-related science, I recently was studying the subject. Ring size is a useful medium for historians, generally enlarging with temperature. Warmer years mean faster growth. The age of sail is entirely within a period called the "Little Ice Age." Temperatures were around 4℃ lower than today. If global temperatures to continue rising, and we continue current deforestation rates, we can expect such nice, tight-grained woods to become quite scarce and valued indeed.

[@bixfrisbee2623]

It was interesting hearing the history of the bowsprit lumber ~ that it came out of an old building being demolished. Thanks for posting.

And look at her now: birght and shiney, with all the bells and whistles but built rather traditional- what a ride it was to get here. And the cake for the most awsome guy goes to (drumroll plz): The sawyer who provided the white oak, he even had a poem to go with. If You would have chosen not to document this journey I would have never, ever seen such originals. In Germany we say: "Alles Gute und immer eine handbreit Wasser unter dem Kiel!".

In the PNW in the 1800's to early 1900's, some of the trucks had one tree on them instead of many. The Douglas Fir back then was old and had dense wood grain, nice and straight. So cool you have a history in the Bow Sprit. Only fitting for her. Nice work!!!. Those guys working on the finish looked like they were working on their own Bow Sprit, attention to detail, very good.

I've been following this restoration job since episode 3 or 4, and I'm still amazed by the expertise in the craftsmanship that keeps everything nice and functional, every part of the boat is a work of art that is part of a working machine: a sailboat mechanical made mainly of wood, fabrics and some pieces of metal.
