I watched the first 150+ of these videos over just a couple of weeks, and the last several as they've been released. During the first experience, I sometimes lost track of time as I binged, suddenly realizing that I was really tired, and then looking at the clock and seeing it was the middle of the night (thanks goodness I'm retired). During this latter phase, I've lost track of time between episodes and have been so happy when a new video comes up in my notifications. You've crated a real family here, Leo, through this amazing project. And everyone's actions, both your antics and your hard work, are eagerly awaited each weekend. When you include one of these unexpected bonus features, it really makes my day better!
Leo, it seems you have managed to put together a group of strangers in a very cohesive team that will be friends for life, as well as putting together a piece of art! Thanks again for another wonderful episode.
As a long time woodworker myself, I am always amazed at the high level of woodworking skills demonstrated in these videos. Also, as an ongoing contributor to this amazing rebuild, I would urge anyone that has not done so to consider making a donation. Thanks so much & Tally Ho! 👍👍
Yup, there is a lot of skill and experience at play, but also high standards, set by example. Then there is the fact that 455,000 people will see your work... 🙂
About the Tank Tender: This is the first I have heard of it, but I recognize the principal from my experience with industrial controls and instrumentation. In industrial applications, this type of level sensing is known as a bubbler. I have implemented such in tanks holding nasty chemicals like hydrofloric and nitric acid (and even mixtures of both). In that case a dry pressurized nitrogen source was available, which fed the sensing line through a flow regulator (Like on a mig welder gas supply) rather than the manual pump on the tank tender. (which seems like a really nice solution.) How it works: Imagine an old-school sponge diver with a pump on the surface supplying air to an open-bottomed diving helmet. The deeper the diver goes, the higher the air pressure required to maintain air flow and to keep the water from rising into the helmet, ruining our divers fun. In fact, if you measure the air pressure at the pump, you can then calculate exactly how deep the diver is. Now instead of the diver going up and down, leave him standing on the bottom, and you can then measure the rise and fall of the tide, Because when the level of the surface increases, then the diver is deeper under water....which is analogous to your tank level. For the same principal to work in a shallow tank, you just need a more sensitive pressure gauge, and you don't need any special "helmet" at the bottom, just an air line with the open end held to the bottom of the tank with a clamp or a weight. You COULD attach the air line to a fitting in the bottom of the tank, and the sensing function will work fine, but this is a bad idea, as it becomes a potential source of leakage. Much better to feed the air line down from the top of the tank. Also, it is much better to mount the indicating pressure gauge and pump above the level of the tank, as this precludes any possibility of siphoning the tank through the sensing line. The key to this working is that the fluid you are measuring the level of has to be much denser than air. This is not a hard requirement to meet. If the fluid is only slightly denser than air, then you have to compensate for the head pressure of the air in the sensing line. (the height of the pressure gauge above or below the surface of the liquid)
Excellent explanation. I have used bubbler systems and they work well if properly applied. This could easily be used as a backup to the diesel and fresh water level measuring systems.
Good explanation. I remember seeing these on the hydro-electric dam. Sometimes to water coming through the dam looks like a chocolate milkshake. It's just as bad as a blackwater tank. I would certainly prefer a continuous bubbler for a blackwater tank. I wonder if anyone makes a pump that could work on the boat movement - It would use a movable weight to operate the pump. You could have a backup electric pump that only draws a few watts for when you are in port or it's just really calm out. It's good to have a purge valve to push occasionally to make sure it isn't blocked. Of course, it doesn't work on a non-vented tank. Any pressure or vacuum on the tank throws the reading off.
I have worked many years with municipal sewage lift stations. They have always employed a bubbler system to determine the depth in the collection tank and when to switch the pumps on and off as needed.

For a group of young lads, you have astounded us all with the exceptional quality of this boat build. When you first towed the Tally Ho to Sequim, I had no idea that this craft would end up looking as it does now. Almost all of the wood was replaced and we were all in amazement when you lofted the boat out on the floor of the shop, transfering the lines to the new ribs that you made. The process for making the keel and setting the ribs in place, suddenly there was the new skeleton of the Tally Ho ! And it has been a wonderful journey ever since. Leo, you are not cutting any corners on this rebuild, and it shows. She is going to be the most beautiful craft that will last long after our lifetimes due to your research and painstakenly adhesion to the goal of building the best boat that can be achieved with old world craftsmanship and modern technology. l will venture up from So Cal to see the Tally Ho when you have the next open house. A HUGE BRAVO to you all..
Got sucked into Tally Ho when Leo single-handed the boathouse back in Sequim. The high standard of craftsmanship and, even more, the sheer artistry of the video production has made any day Leo debuts a new episode a great day. The research, planning and execution of the work on Tally He has ruined other boat build series for me. I'm making another donation and urge everyone who feels like I do to do the same.
Leo, I'am following you since the beginnig, I am an old man now, from France, what I wish to tell you is that what you are doing is a dream, was a dream for me when I was young, in fact I am living this dream through you, what you are doing is so positive in a world going mad that it is almost a therapy. The quality, the overall quality of your work is just amazing, you are a wonderfull young man!
Love the humour, the wonderful workmanship, the incidental imagery around Port Townsend and the boat yard, the attention to detail and the delightful ornamental pieces that add to the homeliness of a functional piece of ART. Yes ART. Goddam this boat is gorgeous.
When I worked as a framer the boss used to yell "We're not building a church here, pick up the pace!" When I graduated to finish work, the boss would yell "You're not building a piano here, pick up the pace!" Now I imagine the piano maker's boss yelling "You're not building a boat here, pick up the pace!"
I've owned and worked in a woodshop and I know the execution pressure and physical stresses this crew works with day in and day out. Perhaps years from now some of the "cutting room" video will show up. ;-) But - I just want to once again call out my admiration for the professionalism combined with good spirit the Tally Ho workers have shown over the years. Every one seems to understand the importance of their task of the moment but they also understand the importance of their execution as it relates to follow on workers and tasks. Big picture and long range thinking is not a given for all workers and it is a pleasure to see here. Kudos again to one and all who have had a hand in this project.
That tank tender is ingenious! When in the tank is empty (full of air), blowing a certain amount of air into it will create a much smaller rise of air pressure than when its almost full!
I have Tank Tender on my fibreglass yacht, but only for fresh water and diesel. I wonder if it will really work for the holding tanks as the content contains solids and the sender tube is very narrow. I would worry that a bit of sh*t would occlude the end of the tube
@@BoydGoldie I live in a houseboat with a holdingtank. The sendertube sometimes occluse. My sendertube is conected to a narrow plastic tube of 2 meters long. This is attached to the pressure switch, at a height of two meters above the tank. Every so often I have to disconnect the hose from the pressure switch. And then blow strongly into the hose. To shoot the 'prop' back into the tank. To finally reattach the plastic hose to the pressure switch. So that system works. Maintenance, that's what I call it
While it’s getting increasingly hard to find worthy content on YT, your vids are always interesting and cheering me up. If I ever win the lottery, I want you guys to build me a boat 😊
Might I recommend blondihacks (a woman building steam engines) or Cutting Edge Engineering (couple making and repairing parts for excavators and similar large equipment).
Ah yes, making plans for what to if you come into an infinite amount of money. I do a bit of that myself. But as yet, I have not succeeded in getting the infinite amount of money so my plans are on hold.
@@davefoc The most important thing: I would tell no one. Not even my family. Money is a destroyer of worlds, I have seen way too much crap happen by people who have money and who lead a sorry life with the only joy to hurt other people. The responsibility thar comes with money can only be shouldered by a relatively small percentage of people. Of course I don´t expect winning the lottery. But just in case, a boat built by the Tally Ho crew, and I would like to be a part of that crew then to learn, would be a worthwhile thing.
Having trouble loving life today…this video really helped me reconnect with good people doing good work and having fun. Thanks Leo, I never miss an episode!❤😊
A lot of that going around these last few years and decades. You never know when something wonderful (or just pleasant) might happen, so hang in there!
Leo, I try to imagine the pride in not only ownership but the hands-on, when you can escape the drudgery of project management, but I can't. Tally Ho is turning out to be a real jewel and your crew deserves such praise, for workmanship second to none.
The quality of the work and fittings really shows the talent of your crew. Everyone clearly takes great pride in their work which is leading to an outstanding result. Congrats.
Yesterday I visited the Star of India in San Diego harbor. They are getting her ready for a sail in November to commemorate her 160th birthday. I asked the volunteers who were varnishing her brightwork if they used Le Tonkinois and they had never heard of it. Is there time for a short explanation of which finish to use and why as part of your fantastic talent for keeping us informed on all things Tally Ho? Like everyone else, I can't wait for the next episode to share in the transformation of wood, bronze etc. into this amazing work of art!
*I STILL CAN NOT BELIEVE* that this will be launched and sail - at the beginning is was 100% sure it would be an abandoned project... So pleased I was proven wrong
There were a few rocky spots for the project, but I think that the dedicated community actually helped Leo to not quit the project, as it would let a lot of people down. I am 100% sure it will be completed now.
Funny!. See 10:10 "Have you got blood in your stool?" I'm still laughing... Thanks Leo for leaving that in the edit. Thanks Paddy for being so crazy. I'm still laughing - It's funny because its so OFF THE WALL. I'm still laughing.
As a guy who's worked with wood and been mucking about in and with boats (even built a few) for over 30 years. Now i can no longer work much due to I'll healthy it brings me so much joy to watch you guys work and bring tally ho back to life. Great workmanship and attention to detail :) Andy from Yorkshire :) fair winds and strong sheets fellas :)
One of my favourite jobs as a finishing carpenter was making shelves or panels to fit odd shaped holes. Nick takes this to a whole new level fitting around pipes, ribs and bulkheads (at least they are parallel ) against compound curved hull planking.The cupboard shelves were amazing, the "vanity" top great, but the "piece de resistance" had to be the 4 piece toilet seat mounting platform (would that be the head rest ??) Well done all members of the Tally Ho crew, especially Captain Leo
@shikaka9032 heh. I get manicures myself. Usually get a pink that's close to skin color though. My hands go though a lot and having nicely trimmed nails helps tremendously.
I'm running out of superlatives to describe what I'm seeing and witnessing being created. With little reservation though, I believe this will be one of the finest sailing craft on the worlds waters, hands down!
Answer to the question what is ship shape? That's when the schooner rig at 10:24 sits at her berth with booms set in a perfect alignment. So much to enjoy in Leo's videos.
I love how every inch of this boat is treated as a work of art with the highest quality craftsmanship. This has to be the mostly stunningly appointed head in seafaring history. And the prisms are lovely and will being some besutiful natural light into the cabin areas. I guess you had yo grow up in the 80's to know who Slash is. And i may have laughed way too hard at Patty's second question to Nick after having him explain how the prisms work. 😂 Great progress this week! Thanks for sharing!
It's called a bubbler, an incredibly simple device. A tube at the bottom of the tank has air bubbles forced out of it by the little pump. More pressure is required to make bubbles when the tank level is higher. The pressure gauge is calibrated to show tank level based on the pressure required to make the air flow (bubbles!)
Been subscribed to this channel for a few years now. The production quality is outstanding. Oh and I totally lost it after the "is there blood etc etc" line😂😂😂😂😂😂
Paddy I just spat beer over a table in Monaco.."do you have any blood in you're stool".. im going home to dry my shorts and will be donating to this amazing channel.. bleedy brilliant..keep up the good work.. ps we all noticed you zoomed in on Erikas cannons...X
I have a friend who has two of these grapefruit prisms on his boat and they are indeed amazing at bringing light below. I am constantly going back into spaces to turn off lights only to find out it is the deck prisms.
Just a comment to say, Wayward Jane is amazing - hadn't realized til now they are the musicians behind the Tally Ho Soundtrack if there is such a thing. Would love to see them on board the Tally Ho someday banging out Railroad Bill and other great tunes.
For those windering about how the tank level gauge works: Pushing air into the bottom of the tank creates backpressure that is directly proportional to the head pressure of the tank (the depth x the contents specific gravity). If the air flow rate is low enough, frictional losses are so small that they can be ignored, so the pressure can be measured remotley. The gauge is then calibrated in units that make sense for liquid level measurement, like inches of water.
I think Leo mentioned once that a general rule is building the hull is about 1/3 building a boat. The interior and systems is another third. And the rig is the final third. In the early years it seems like building the hull and deck from scratch is the biggest task. But these videos make it clear that the systems and interior is an enormous amount of work and cost. Probably at least 1/3 of the total job.
Deck prisms are so cool to have a lot of light under deck. You'd need some serious electric light to come close to it. During winter times we often have a lot of condensation at the prisms leading to mould or water puddles below . That's the only downside. They also come it all sorts of different shapes.
Thanks for this video update Leo, Your project "Tally Ho" has attracted so many talented people it's just amazing to watch. The young fellow with the black fingernails did a great job with his cabinetry so I'm surprised Patrick didn't pop in and say "Hey Nick, you missed a spot". Cheers from Canada.
I wake up every Saturday with anticipation of your videos. And am always amazed at the quality of both the videography and boat building. You have put together a fantastic team. Tally ho is truly a work of art. Thanks for allowing us along for the build
Love that functionality has not precluded aesthetics - the interiors are beautifull. Some amazing simplicity that looks so good. Leo and crew are making Tally Ho very special.
My father, a cabinet maker, would have been impressed with the level of craftsmanship. I certainly join that excitement and I am longing to see the result in real life. Thanks again for a joyful episode.
Have to say the furniture finishing is top drawer. Great looks and quality from design , joinery, coatings and fit. Artistry. My father would be so proud of the workmanship you have instilled in every aspect of this project. Gary Barichello from Kamloops Canada
I would give anything to be a part of a build like this. What a team of wonderful hardworking and skilled people. Tally ho is a beautiful ship. I cant wait to see her in the water.
In a fluid, pressure varies linearly with depth. The air pressure gauge measures the pressure at its exit at the tank's bottom. When you calibrate it, the instrument measures the pressure below a full tank and adjusts its dial's to read it as "full tank", and then it measures below an empty tank and adjusts its dials to read "empty". Everything in between is assumed to be linear. Note 1 The linear scale applies if the tank is prismatic and with rectangular, vertical, lateral sides. The top and bottom can be other than rectangular, but they must be of equal shape and paralel. Note 2 Since pressure varies with density, the linear constant is different for water and diesel, hence the different scales.
Very interesting those deck prisms. Very. Never knew about them even though I have owned 4 sailboats. And I know I may have said this a zillion times before, I must say again how high the quality is of all the workmanship. The cabinets are just fantastic. Fantastic. Your crew is the best.
Long time listener; first time caller. "and is there blood in your stool?" ..Was the absolute funniest thing I've ever heard in my life. I don't know why it was there but I'm so glad you left it in.
Great episode! Slight question however, what in the world is a Yard Patrol vessel doing in the back ground at 10:35 and 11:41 ?? they're used at the United States Naval Academy as training vessels for Midshipmen, which is why it's surprising to see it on blocks near Tally Ho! They're one of the last types of wooden hulled ships in the US Navy built in the 1980s or so.
Your team is turning into a show cast. Such a range of characters now. "The Tally Ho, starring...." A brilliant show, and such beautiful work too. (Shout if you want any corny voice overs....)
Your level measurement for the tank is commonly referred to as a "dip tube" or "bubbler tube" in industrial instrumentation, it works by measuring how much back pressure it takes to push the air out the tube thus giving you a level measurement. A very old way of measuring level but a very reliable and simple method.
Hi Leo, we would paint a small round circle with white paint in all our deck prisms (we used the bullseye type though) right in the center of the bullseye to prevent the chance of fire caused by the sun focusing through the deck light. Not sure if it’s a concern with the type you have as they’re not bullseye types but might be worth considering. Installed many on different boats I’ve owned, from a 1904 Cornish fishing lugger I rebuilt to trad working riveted iron narrow boats to a Dutch sailing barge I re built. Used to live on the water and was involved in running working boats many many moons ago…
I was thinking that. When I first saw the Fenchurch Building (The Walkie-Talkie) in London I thought that's gonna cause problems. Sure enough it does when the sun's altitude and azimuth is just right, or wrong. Focusing light can cause problems- and fires.
@@alangood8190 But it doesn't focus light though, it disperses it. A prism like that is not a lens, from a physics perspective there really isn't any possibility of it focusing light. This might be more something people did because of a percieved problem that doesn't actually happen in reality. Even with a bullseye type, I would expect this came out of the idea that, "it looks a bit like a magnifying glass, so it must act like it". Prisms do not focus light, and these things were very common in the late 19th and early 20th century, to the point that much larger ones were used for subway and cellar lighting, I have never heard of them starting a fire, or giving anyone burns.
When this episode dropped I was visiting family and only had a small iPad to watch on. No choice, had to wait 3 days so I could see and hear with proper quality. So glad I did!
Leo and crew make me proud to be amount the human species. Wish I could say that for any other program on tv...... Including, if not specifically, the News.
In two years, when Tally Ho launches (wink, wink) i'm going to rewatch the whole series from day one (again) before i watch the launch episode. I suggest others do too, because it's been and it is, A journey to behold.
@aserta, that is really good advice and I wouldn't have considered that. I will do exactly that. I came into this series about 6 months late but caught up in 3 days. Never miss a Saturday episode now. Makes my day and when we get a bonus video like today it is especially special.
I would like to see a gantt chart and a strike list of things to do before launching. Is the launch one month or 2 months away? All those lingering shots of travel lifts leads me to think we are being led to edge of the wharf.
Tks so much. I have watched from your very first video. I am a friend and neighbor of Steve Cross. I learned about your project when you came here to purchase live oak for frame material. I have enjoyed every video. Again thank you for sharing with us.
Phase 1: Build a water tight boat.
Phase 2: Cut a lot of holes in it.
I'm glad they passed on the front door for Tally Ho :p

Leo, I'am following you since the beginnig, I am an old man now, from France, what I wish to tell you is that what you are doing is a dream, was a dream for me when I was young, in fact I am living this dream through you, what you are doing is so positive in a world going mad that it is almost a therapy. The quality, the overall quality of your work is just amazing, you are a wonderfull young man!
Patrick is a gift to humanity, keep this man on video forever.
see 10:10 I'm still laughing...
amen. a talented hard workin clown
@@raphaelvowles I think I heard an "uncaulked butt-joint" at 2:59 that you may have missed!!
Patty strikes again?!
Love the humour, the wonderful workmanship, the incidental imagery around Port Townsend and the boat yard, the attention to detail and the delightful ornamental pieces that add to the homeliness of a functional piece of ART. Yes ART. Goddam this boat is gorgeous.
I love the boat yard montage. There should be at least 1 minute of this and every video!
Nice place for a short break before work.
Love the sights around the yard
Yes . his “B” roll is always interesting and relaxing.
Isn't it lovely that these young people have these skills to do this amazing work. Fills my heart with joy.
ive done that.. hard work and dangerous .. but enjoyable. one serious injury and thats your life over tho sadly.
How can you forget a name like Slash?! Now you are all required to loudly listen to November Rain.
When I worked as a framer the boss used to yell "We're not building a church here, pick up the pace!" When I graduated to finish work, the boss would yell "You're not building a piano here, pick up the pace!" Now I imagine the piano maker's boss yelling "You're not building a boat here, pick up the pace!"
I've owned and worked in a woodshop and I know the execution pressure and physical stresses this crew works with day in and day out. Perhaps years from now some of the "cutting room" video will show up. ;-) But - I just want to once again call out my admiration for the professionalism combined with good spirit the Tally Ho workers have shown over the years. Every one seems to understand the importance of their task of the moment but they also understand the importance of their execution as it relates to follow on workers and tasks. Big picture and long range thinking is not a given for all workers and it is a pleasure to see here. Kudos again to one and all who have had a hand in this project.
That tank tender is ingenious!
When in the tank is empty (full of air), blowing a certain amount of air into it will create a much smaller rise of air pressure than when its almost full!
With a Pressure switch and a pump they can pump out the clutter.
I have Tank Tender on my fibreglass yacht, but only for fresh water and diesel. I wonder if it will really work for the holding tanks as the content contains solids and the sender tube is very narrow. I would worry that a bit of sh*t would occlude the end of the tube
@@BoydGoldie I live in a houseboat with a holdingtank. The sendertube sometimes occluse. My sendertube is conected to a narrow plastic tube of 2 meters long. This is attached to the pressure switch, at a height of two meters above the tank. Every so often I have to disconnect the hose from the pressure switch. And then blow strongly into the hose. To shoot the 'prop' back into the tank. To finally reattach the plastic hose to the pressure switch.
So that system works. Maintenance, that's what I call it
"Do you have any blood in your stool?" - Will never stop laughing at that one.........
see 10:10 I'm still laughing...
The ability to maintain the high standard of craftsmanship along with humor seems to make for a relaxing work environment.

While it’s getting increasingly hard to find worthy content on YT, your vids are always interesting and cheering me up.
If I ever win the lottery, I want you guys to build me a boat 😊
Might I recommend blondihacks (a woman building steam engines) or Cutting Edge Engineering (couple making and repairing parts for excavators and similar large equipment).
There’s also Ship Happens. A world war 2 harbour defence launch that took part in D-Day.
Ah yes, making plans for what to if you come into an infinite amount of money. I do a bit of that myself. But as yet, I have not succeeded in getting the infinite amount of money so my plans are on hold.
@@davefoc The most important thing: I would tell no one. Not even my family. Money is a destroyer of worlds, I have seen way too much crap happen by people who have money and who lead a sorry life with the only joy to hurt other people. The responsibility thar comes with money can only be shouldered by a relatively small percentage of people. Of course I don´t expect winning the lottery. But just in case, a boat built by the Tally Ho crew, and I would like to be a part of that crew then to learn, would be a worthwhile thing.
Patrick is a gift to humanity, keep this man on video forever.. Deck prisms can be easily described as boat chandeliers..
Having trouble loving life today…this video really helped me reconnect with good people doing good work and having fun. Thanks Leo, I never miss an episode!❤😊
A lot of that going around these last few years and decades. You never know when something wonderful (or just pleasant) might happen, so hang in there!
There are still a lot of GOOD people out there they just don't make the news. Thank you Tally Ho for all the good people❤
Hang in there Brett, you are not alone
"It's Boat Magic." I'm going to use this phrase from now on for anything I don't know how to explain well enough.
"do you have any blood in your stool?"
"Only Leo could answer that"
see 10:10 I'm still laughing...
Leo, I try to imagine the pride in not only ownership but the hands-on, when you can escape the drudgery of project management, but I can't. Tally Ho is turning out to be a real jewel and your crew deserves such praise, for workmanship second to none.
The quality of the work and fittings really shows the talent of your crew. Everyone clearly takes great pride in their work which is leading to an outstanding result. Congrats.
You're right). And they brought their names into such a difficult life by the reincarnation of Tally Ho). Which for sure will be long).
There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply.... enjoying a bonus video from Sampson Boat Co 🙂
A finishing expert is exactly what the Tally Ho deserves. Perfection down to the finish line. Amazing...
Yesterday I visited the Star of India in San Diego harbor. They are getting her ready for a sail in November to commemorate her 160th birthday. I asked the volunteers who were varnishing her brightwork if they used Le Tonkinois and they had never heard of it. Is there time for a short explanation of which finish to use and why as part of your fantastic talent for keeping us informed on all things Tally Ho?
Like everyone else, I can't wait for the next episode to share in the transformation of wood, bronze etc. into this amazing work of art!
*I STILL CAN NOT BELIEVE* that this will be launched and sail - at the beginning is was 100% sure it would be an abandoned project...
So pleased I was proven wrong
+1 Museum quality workmanship everywhere.
There were a few rocky spots for the project, but I think that the dedicated community actually helped Leo to not quit the project, as it would let a lot of people down. I am 100% sure it will be completed now.
They have amazed me.
I am in the opposite camp. My lack of knowledge about what was to come led to vast over optimism about the schedule.
The local commie council trying to shut down the build was interesting left field
The deck prism has to be the most remarkable item fitted to the boat thus far.
Give Patty(sp?) the camera more often. Maybe an entire episode. He's hilarious and y'all have taught him so much!
Funny!. See 10:10 "Have you got blood in your stool?" I'm still laughing... Thanks Leo for leaving that in the edit. Thanks Paddy for being so crazy. I'm still laughing - It's funny because its so OFF THE WALL. I'm still laughing.
As a guy who's worked with wood and been mucking about in and with boats (even built a few) for over 30 years. Now i can no longer work much due to I'll healthy it brings me so much joy to watch you guys work and bring tally ho back to life. Great workmanship and attention to detail :) Andy from Yorkshire :) fair winds and strong sheets fellas :)
Nick just took top honors in cabinetry! Surpassed Patty in the galley. Hey, anybody can do squares. Nice to hear Wayward Jane again!
One of my favourite jobs as a finishing carpenter was making shelves or panels to fit odd shaped holes.
Nick takes this to a whole new level fitting around pipes, ribs and bulkheads (at least they are parallel ) against compound curved hull planking.The cupboard shelves were amazing, the "vanity" top great, but the "piece de resistance" had to be the 4 piece toilet seat mounting platform (would that be the head rest ??)
Well done all members of the Tally Ho crew, especially Captain Leo
This boat is a work of art! Leo and the team I am in awe of what you have created.
It's hard to imagine Tally Ho ever being this lovely. Tremendous work by everyone
I agree. I bet the original builders would be like, this is a lot nicer than the first one.
the boy has painted nails .... horror that he wants to look like a girl?
@shikaka9032 heh. I get manicures myself. Usually get a pink that's close to skin color though. My hands go though a lot and having nicely trimmed nails helps tremendously.
I'm running out of superlatives to describe what I'm seeing and witnessing being created. With little reservation though, I believe this will be one of the finest sailing craft on the worlds waters, hands down!
Answer to the question what is ship shape? That's when the schooner rig at 10:24 sits at her berth with booms set in a perfect alignment. So much to enjoy in Leo's videos.
To watch fine craftsmen produce this perfect work with such consummate ease is a joy to behold. I never tire of it.
Whoever selects the music does a great job.
Deck prisms can be easily described as boat chandeliers.
At first I thought he was putting a punch bowl in the deck of the boat and I was wondering WHY?
I have seen it done with waterfilled coke bottles, but didn't know that it "was a thing".
Solar tubes before they were used in homes.
@21:45 - I thought I was a freak for always making sure the screwdriver lines always faced the same way. Thank you for doing the same thing.
I love how every inch of this boat is treated as a work of art with the highest quality craftsmanship. This has to be the mostly stunningly appointed head in seafaring history. And the prisms are lovely and will being some besutiful natural light into the cabin areas. I guess you had yo grow up in the 80's to know who Slash is. And i may have laughed way too hard at Patty's second question to Nick after having him explain how the prisms work. 😂 Great progress this week! Thanks for sharing!
I think they just don't know who slash is because he really isn't that great of a guitar player
see 10:10 I'm still laughing...
"...and do you have any blood in your stool?" Had to be the best line in the show.
see 10:10 I'm still laughing...
The cabinetry in the head is absolutely stunning.
It's called a bubbler, an incredibly simple device. A tube at the bottom of the tank has air bubbles forced out of it by the little pump. More pressure is required to make bubbles when the tank level is higher. The pressure gauge is calibrated to show tank level based on the pressure required to make the air flow (bubbles!)
To everyone now and then…what a beautiful boat this is becoming…everyone of you should be very proud of your input,including Pancho!😊
Been subscribed to this channel for a few years now. The production quality is outstanding. Oh and I totally lost it after the "is there blood etc etc" line😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lowkey we need Tally Ho merch.👏🏼👏🏼
Oh wow, the Head looks amazing. I can’t believe how good the woodworking is and how well it goes with those taps.
Patrick, Please never change dude.
see 10:10 I'm still laughing...
Paddy I just spat beer over a table in Monaco.."do you have any blood in you're stool".. im going home to dry my shorts and will be donating to this amazing channel.. bleedy brilliant..keep up the good work.. ps we all noticed you zoomed in on Erikas cannons...X
see 10:10 I'm still laughing...
I love Patrick and Nick’s banter. It’s such dry humour.
That woodwork and cabinetry is just beautiful!!! Really cool Light Prisms too.
Side note- anyone know how Pete's doing?
The craftsmanship on this vessel is magnificent.
Seeing such amazing craftsmanship is a treat for the senses. This is top-drawer work that any cabinet maker would be proud of.
I am so pleased that UA-cam money is supporting these skills
I so wish i could afford to support the beautiful project more financially 😢
Tally Ho is like a finely crafted piece of furniture
There’s so much laughter that it’s astonishing any work actually gets done 😂
The amount of planning and foresight Leo has is crazy.
I have a friend who has two of these grapefruit prisms on his boat and they are indeed amazing at bringing light below. I am constantly going back into spaces to turn off lights only to find out it is the deck prisms.
Just a comment to say, Wayward Jane is amazing - hadn't realized til now they are the musicians behind the Tally Ho Soundtrack if there is such a thing. Would love to see them on board the Tally Ho someday banging out Railroad Bill and other great tunes.
For those windering about how the tank level gauge works:
Pushing air into the bottom of the tank creates backpressure that is directly proportional to the head pressure of the tank (the depth x the contents specific gravity).
If the air flow rate is low enough, frictional losses are so small that they can be ignored, so the pressure can be measured remotley.
The gauge is then calibrated in units that make sense for liquid level measurement, like inches of water.
I hope Nick is alright. Blood in the stool is no laughing matter!
see 10:10 I'm still laughing...
I think Leo mentioned once that a general rule is building the hull is about 1/3 building a boat. The interior and systems is another third. And the rig is the final third. In the early years it seems like building the hull and deck from scratch is the biggest task. But these videos make it clear that the systems and interior is an enormous amount of work and cost. Probably at
least 1/3 of the total job.
So much laughter, it’s great to see these artisans having so much fun whilst they recreate Tally Ho.
Deck prisms are so cool to have a lot of light under deck. You'd need some serious electric light to come close to it. During winter times we often have a lot of condensation at the prisms leading to mould or water puddles below . That's the only downside. They also come it all sorts of different shapes.
Gall-Dag-it! What a stellar team. They may not know their rock'n'roll, but their know their craft. 2 years, right?
Slash isn't all that great to be honest lol. If I didn't grow up in the 80s I'd have no idea either
@@MidwestFarmToysit isn't about being good, it is about being famous. He is one of the most well known rock quitarists
@@jonnenne that I can't argue with.
It’s the quality of all the work that will never be seen that gets me.
Thanks for this video update Leo, Your project "Tally Ho" has attracted so many talented people it's just amazing to watch. The young fellow with the black fingernails did a great job with his cabinetry so I'm surprised Patrick didn't pop in and say "Hey Nick, you missed a spot". Cheers from Canada.
Just imagine the banter when they are NOT on camera - no wonder Leo keeps saying it's a fun crew.
I wake up every Saturday with anticipation of your videos. And am always amazed at the quality of both the videography and boat building. You have put together a fantastic team. Tally ho is truly a work of art. Thanks for allowing us along for the build
I really like these off the cuff Pat, 'man-on-the-street' type segments. Great Job, Dude!
Love that functionality has not precluded aesthetics - the interiors are beautifull. Some amazing simplicity that looks so good. Leo and crew are making Tally Ho very special.
"and, do you have any blood in your stool?" 😀 Well that caught him off guard!
My father, a cabinet maker, would have been impressed with the level of craftsmanship. I certainly join that excitement and I am longing to see the result in real life. Thanks again for a joyful episode.
Have to say the furniture finishing is top drawer. Great looks and quality from design , joinery, coatings and fit. Artistry. My father would be so proud of the workmanship you have instilled in every aspect of this project.

I would give anything to be a part of a build like this. What a team of wonderful hardworking and skilled people. Tally ho is a beautiful ship. I cant wait to see her in the water.
In a fluid, pressure varies linearly with depth. The air pressure gauge measures the pressure at its exit at the tank's bottom.
When you calibrate it, the instrument measures the pressure below a full tank and adjusts its dial's to read it as "full tank",
and then it measures below an empty tank and adjusts its dials to read "empty". Everything in between is assumed to be linear.
Note 1 The linear scale applies if the tank is prismatic and with rectangular, vertical, lateral sides. The top and bottom can be other than rectangular, but they must be of equal shape and paralel.
Note 2 Since pressure varies with density, the linear constant is different for water and diesel, hence the different scales.
Very interesting those deck prisms. Very. Never knew about them even though I have owned 4 sailboats. And I know I may have said this a zillion times before, I must say again how high the quality is of all the workmanship. The cabinets are just fantastic. Fantastic. Your crew is the best.
Long time listener; first time caller.
"and is there blood in your stool?"
..Was the absolute funniest thing I've ever heard in my life. I don't know why it was there but I'm so glad you left it in.
Deck prism were an offshoot of light house lens prismatic technology
Great episode! Slight question however, what in the world is a Yard Patrol vessel doing in the back ground at 10:35 and 11:41 ?? they're used at the United States Naval Academy as training vessels for Midshipmen, which is why it's surprising to see it on blocks near Tally Ho! They're one of the last types of wooden hulled ships in the US Navy built in the 1980s or so.
Your team is turning into a show cast. Such a range of characters now. "The Tally Ho, starring...." A brilliant show, and such beautiful work too. (Shout if you want any corny voice overs....)
Your level measurement for the tank is commonly referred to as a "dip tube" or "bubbler tube" in industrial instrumentation, it works by measuring how much back pressure it takes to push the air out the tube thus giving you a level measurement. A very old way of measuring level but a very reliable and simple method.
Hi Leo, we would paint a small round circle with white paint in all our deck prisms (we used the bullseye type though) right in the center of the bullseye to prevent the chance of fire caused by the sun focusing through the deck light. Not sure if it’s a concern with the type you have as they’re not bullseye types but might be worth considering. Installed many on different boats I’ve owned, from a 1904 Cornish fishing lugger I rebuilt to trad working riveted iron narrow boats to a Dutch sailing barge I re built. Used to live on the water and was involved in running working boats many many moons ago…
As a desert resident it seems like they would add heat in tropical or desert climates.
@@garganegahave you heard of windows?
I was thinking that.
When I first saw the Fenchurch Building (The Walkie-Talkie) in London I thought that's gonna cause problems. Sure enough it does when the sun's altitude and azimuth is just right, or wrong. Focusing light can cause problems- and fires.
@@alangood8190 But it doesn't focus light though, it disperses it. A prism like that is not a lens, from a physics perspective there really isn't any possibility of it focusing light. This might be more something people did because of a percieved problem that doesn't actually happen in reality. Even with a bullseye type, I would expect this came out of the idea that, "it looks a bit like a magnifying glass, so it must act like it".
Prisms do not focus light, and these things were very common in the late 19th and early 20th century, to the point that much larger ones were used for subway and cellar lighting, I have never heard of them starting a fire, or giving anyone burns.
@@garganega Never have i seen a ship in the desert!😂
When this episode dropped I was visiting family and only had a small iPad to watch on. No choice, had to wait 3 days so I could see and hear with proper quality. So glad I did!
Leo and crew make me proud to be amount the human species. Wish I could say that for any other program on tv...... Including, if not specifically, the News.
Incredible craftsmanship gives an admirable result. Tally Ho definitely will be the nicest yacht ever built. Keep the team spirit high folks!
In two years, when Tally Ho launches (wink, wink) i'm going to rewatch the whole series from day one (again) before i watch the launch episode. I suggest others do too, because it's been and it is, A journey to behold.
@aserta, that is really good advice and I wouldn't have considered that. I will do exactly that. I came into this series about 6 months late but caught up in 3 days. Never miss a Saturday episode now. Makes my day and when we get a bonus video like today it is especially special.
I would like to see a gantt chart and a strike list of things to do before launching.
Is the launch one month or 2 months away?
All those lingering shots of travel lifts leads me to think we are being led to edge of the wharf.
Tks so much. I have watched from your very first video. I am a friend and neighbor of Steve Cross. I learned about your project when you came here to purchase live oak for frame material. I have enjoyed every video. Again thank you for sharing with us.
Leo, if this whole boat building gig doesn't work out for you, you might consider a career as a videographer. 😂
