A note from another old Trekkie. I want to express my deepest thanks to you all for restoring a part of my youth. The owners picked the right shop for the job. I'm just short of calling myself a master carpenter (does anyone ever fully learn the trade?). I've worked on many restoration jobs and have many in both state and national registries and think that you did an excellent job. "Live long and prosper!"
That shuttlecraft wasn’t the only thing restored. The original filming model of the Enterprise was also given an overhaul. She’s now on permanent display at the National Air & Space Museum in Washington DC.
I saw this Histoic Relec at a Shuttle-Con Star Trek Convention in COLUMBUS , I beleive , I took a dozen pics of its pre- restoration shape. Yeah it was sad but salvagable. STNG Gates ( Dr.Crusher) was guest at the Con. I was in awe of it's raw beauty. It was displayed outside to no fanfare. Nobody to really get official information so I assumed it was yet to be sold or adopted etc. For years at the dawn of the internet I searched for Imformation . Thanks to this Website I've gotten a Time Capsule into this Historic Icon. Thank You so much..I Live in Toledo and sadly had lost my brother who 's passed away a couple years ago .in San Antonio. It was on my bucket list to visit him and later Trek to Houston to see this restored Marvel., bur alas.😔 I was a wee lad of 10 years young. when STOS premired and have followed it since in all its incarnations. Now at Retirement age from many occupations to say the least as a professional Artist, I hope to VISIT the Houston Space Center as well as the "restored" Mission Control and the rest of the facilities and displays. By the way..Im currious about the Interior of the Shuttlecraft. I know it was a separate set piece from t he original but, perhaps you could showcase a separate video of that if it at all relates to this particular restoration. .Thank You so much for posting this True Star Trek,. Live Long and Prosper!🖖 Go Artimas! Back to The Moon...onto Mars!!!
The way the original should have been built. The hours put into this restoration is insane, hats off to the master craftsmen that put this ship back into "space!"
Yep. I cried. I am young enough that I only ever saw this beauty in re-runs...but now I am old enough to appreciate her. And you...all of you, did something truly amazing and special almost beyond words.
OK, I'm crying. crying for happy. The last time I saw the Galileo, stepped inside it, was in 1970. It was well on its way to being wreckage. Neglected, abandoned, it broke my heart to see it. Nobody at the time understood the significance of what, to them, looked like a plywood and steel, camper or mobile home box. Over the protests of myself and several other SF fans, the "plan" was to leave it sitting outside, to be used as a "classroom" or "storage shed" at the Foundation for the Junior Blind. Then, when weather destroyed its outer hull (it was NEVER designed to 'live' out doors!!) they either discarded it, or gave it away. I never knew what happened to it until today. Yes, I'm crying. Tears of GRATITUDE!
Great video! It's very clear that those folks who worked on this project had a fabulous time doing it. I hope the Galileo ends up in a permanent home where the public can see her.
I realize this video is about 3 years old but I swear I teared up at times watching this. AMAZING to have this restored... a piece of my childhood and hopefully to new fans and their children!!! WELL DONE I SAY!!!!
A rotted set piece returned to its original dimensions by craftsmen under the guidance of its creator and designer using all parts not turned to dust. How amazing that this was able to all come together. Thank you to everyone who is involved in such a terrific, technically difficult and meaningful effort. Kudos.
I'll call this a "labor of love." The skill and professionalism of these craftsmen have accomplished a restoration which has great meaning for those of us who grew up watching Star Trek. They have done an expert job worthy of the task. I am breathless at the result. Thank you Gentlemen for doing this.
I heard a sad story many years ago about how the Galileo was wrecked beyond all hope and lost to time. Amazing to see this restoration! Beautiful! Well done! And thank you to all involved. I never thought this story would have an uplifting conclusion!
Da appassionato di Star Trek , fin da piccolo, siete riusciti a farmi sognare ancora una volta, all’età di 52 anni. Tantissimi complimenti , per il meraviglioso e stupendo lavoro che avete fatto. Star Trek lo sappiamo e , per ora solo fantasia, su alcune cose , ma il suo messaggio è unico , per chi sa guardare e ascoltare. Per voi tutti , che avete fatto questo meraviglioso lavoro, da un semplice Italiano , una sola parola , grazie
Thanks to all of the men and women who were set so strongly to make it happen. This craft is a really big deal ,Star Trek and the whole thing was the opening of the door... Because of Trek, and the whole concept, we are now using things in our everyday lives that all started with dream's of Trek. Great job 👍👍. Thanks so much!!!
Great job guys! Amazed you accomplished this amid the destruction of Sandy. Proud to know it was done in my favorite boating community at the Highlands! You are truly master “star” ship builders!
awesome job! need safety glasses for the workers. you'll put an eye out. from Christmas story. I am glad you did a great job and putting a lot of heart and soul into restoring a great piece of iconic history back to it's glory.
Hope the guys from the Enterprise D bridge restoration can get in touch with you. Would be amazing to see Star Trek get the respect it deserves in our worlds museums.
Adam, I know Hans very well, since 1974. I have to tip my hat to him on this project. Wish I knew, would have loved to see the shuttle craft, but looks like he replaced 90% of it. In wood boat restoration its called a "comprehensive paint job", you start scraping the paint on the outside until you reach the inside, then replace everything in between.
Certainly hop you didn't pitch the debris, of the Original. 'DAMN IT JIM It's a Holy Relic"! I'm just thinking of Our real Shuttle Relics..Challenger & Columbia .in a God Forsaken hanger somewhere.. God Bless the Crews.
SimpleLife DIY /I'm an old Trecker but according to readouts some of this music doesn't sound S.T but more S.W OK much better " KEPLA"!!!! ya ya ya I know I misspelled YOU try to translate to Terran Federation Standard yentaq .
41point2 they should use the specs to build a full scale foam board clone of the shuttle would be much lighter and easier to load and transport to shows and conventions.
It was proven to be Sasquatch proof to a certain point in one episode so it would be an excellent camping vehicle, and with wood construction in many places, even Starfleet had a budget to consider- Quite logical!
It's giving me goosebumps, to see those people bringing back to life a piece of our imagination of how the future could be, and it's maybe just from a TV show, BUT a great one. Thank you Gene... May you Rest In Peace...where you are...surrounded by the Stars...and the Infinite Universe
This truly is amazing. Yes it is just an inanimate wooden and metal prop... But I have seen it fly in deep space. I am so glad it was recovered and restored rather than be destroyed. The heart of Galileo lives in that restoration.
Thats soooo awesome!!! Future generations will be so incredbly thankfull for preserving this iconic symbol of pop culture in a way we cant imaging now. A lot of old machines or testimonials were irretrievable lost, because nobody cared for them, when they got old and were in need for preservation just because they were old but not old enough to have sufficient value. So thanks a lot!!
It's amazing to think that the original 11 foot model still exists, the Shuttlecraft has been fully restored, and the original 3 foot model just resurfaced after forty plus years. To think all three major shooting models still exist is almost against all odds.
Thank you all! For restoring an all American TV series that I grew up with. It has been one hell of a great ride then, and still sparks the same interests today.
OMG you guys picked the absolute perfect music from the original series and best movies the original cast and crew did, The Enterprise and shuttlecraft were to me as much a character in the series as the real live actors! Thanks so much for bringing back a piece of history from my younger days! Peace and long life!
It's surprising how much interest this generates. I mean, the "Galileo" is nothing more than a simple box. But, it is rather self contained. No other set in Star Trek was as compact and contained.
This reminds me of my 350 year old Knife, It has been restored too . Over the years the knife had its handle replaced & sometime in its 350 year life it has had the blade replaced as well , Though it looks in remarkable condition considering its awesome age.
I was shocked to see the way it looked when they first brought it in the shop; was it left out in the elements to rot? I grew up watching STOS and have fond memories of when the crew had to take the shuttle to rescue those crazy space hippies on the planet Eden. Good times, great memories, and there never has been anything like it since.
It's a very emotional journey... sad to see such a beautiful part of sci-fi history allowed to reach such as state of decay and neglect and joyous to see it brought back from the ashes to a better than original state. Thank you very much to all the wonderful people that helped to bring this beauty back for all to see and enjoy!
Clearly both the original builders and the restorers undertook their respective jobs with great pride, well done to you guys. Given that "the Enterprise is a beautiful lady and we love her" it is only right that her little friend should be afforded the same consideration. I doubt I'll ever get to see the Galileo and the original 11 foot Enterprise model in person, it is great to see them both at least on sites like this. Incidentally, how many models could have withstood 50 years of neglect and not collapsed entirely to dust? A reflection of the build quality of the original and skill of her constructors. Lastly, although James Horner didn't write any music for the original series, thanks for using him here - a great composer and gone far too soon.
I second that comment..it truly enhanced the documentary along with the live action shots. Perhaps this could be made into a full length documentary. Like " the Building Star Trek video that came out by the Smithsonian. Institute. a few years back .
It's nice to see fine craftsmen at work. They truly did an excellent job! I love seeing all their tools. I am intrigued at the "Time Capsule" notation at 06:49 - "Attention Time Capsule enclosed (arrow) 12" over inside impulse deck sealed 9-13-92 K+W" It's in all caps but I thought it would be too annoying to repeat that here. I wonder what that is all about!
Oh man. I thought for sure this prop must be a clapboard falsehood that'd fall apart on a hard sneeze, or even painted into the set. I'm happy to know it had a proper build. I'm also mystified they didn't use it a whole lot more, as nice as it is.
Great job on the restoration; but HOLY CRAP, looks like safety totally went out the window! Where's the safety glasses. I used to be a shipfitter and if the safety inspectors came by and saw this, they would have fit and shut the job down!
The second restoration. It was previously restored in 1986 and displayed at the 20th anniversary of Star Trek convention at the Disneyland hotel (I have many pictures of it). It was sold about 1993 to someone in Ohio who left it outside all year round at the mercy of the hard northern winters, which almost destroyed it so that in 2012 they had to restore it all over again. Had it been properly stored in a warehouse it would not have been in such poor condition.
Yes! I remember on the 20th anniversary of Star Trek, flipping through a magazine they had a big article on the Galileo restoration. James Doohan was there at the end when it was finished. It looked like quite an emotional moment. Glad to see someone else remembers this!🖖
And if people payed attention to the video some parts were just too far gone but the whole original frame was 80% intact from what was shown. They did not rebuild it,it was restored. Done this many times with old cars,sometimes certain things are just not saveable. Again great job everyone as it is alive again which is better then it rotting away.
Wow, they did a real beautiful job! It had to be a total labor of love and I imagine have all these craftspeople working with them doing the bodywork and painting and forming must have been done by them primarily for love of it. Its not like this can provide much of a return on an investment, unless the return is the pride on doing it. Otherwise, the shuttle would have eventually rotted away in some crap yard somewhere. I always believed that the design of the shuttle also influenced early mini vans, like the Dodge Caravan or Ford Windstar etc, with their slanted windshield etc.
A note from another old Trekkie. I want to express my deepest thanks to you all for restoring a part of my youth. The owners picked the right shop for the job.

Nice restore. I always thought Galileo looked like a cross between a house boat and a pop-up camper.

Best video I've seen in a while. Seriously cool. Wonderful level of detail in the restoration. Simply awsome!
she looks wonderful, great job guys

omg. brought tears of joy to my eyes. thank you. its a beautiful job.
Congratulations to a dedicated team! I am glad that this small ferry was not the trash.
I heard that they were able to keep three splinters and a paint chip from the original craft in the restoration
I built the model of the Enterprise and Galileo when I was a kid in the early 70's, how time has gone by.
Just how great were the early Star Trek motion picture soundtracks? So totally awesome!!!
I second that comment..it truly enhanced the documentary along with the live action shots. Perhaps this could be made into a full length documentary. Like " the Building Star Trek video that came out by the Smithsonian. Institute. a few years back .

AWESOME WELL DONE!!! THIS IS FOR ALL OF US WHO GET YOUNGER WHEN WE SEE THIS!!
Wow... Just beautiful!!! Well done...
Really enjoyed this video! Awesome job! Thanks for sharing! 😃👍
Great work!! Thank you for sharing!!
Amazing work. And one of the gentleman (light blue shirt at the end) reminds me of a young Gene Roddenberry.
Simply amazing job on a legendary piece,my hat is off too you all. Damn it Jim I'm a doctor not a carpenter.
The guy running that hoist would get written up where I work, lol! Nice job restoring the old girl.
Bravo and thank you. She looks amazing.
Words can't express how good this is. I hope you will accept "great"
Amazing stuff. My favorite ship from Star Trek.
Beyond awesome, nice work guys.

Ohh well done!!!! Fantastic!🤩
wow , the only thing missing is custom Recaro seats interior landing gear looks awesome as well -good job guys !!!!!
thx for the narration, it really helped.
Great Job Adam!
Nice restoration. Congratulations
Fantastic restoration job. I suspect one or two of those older boys honed their skills on the construction of the titanic, and put to good use here 😁!
AMAZING....Thank you for this.
Thanks so much!!! I want one to live in from time to time...!! Camping...Halliween fun.
Greatings from Denmark. Waow... Great JOB!!!
lovethe use of the Constellation music very fitting.
They went to the right guys for this job. Boat builders have the experience and tools to get the job done correctly. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Love it!
Wow, they did a real beautiful job! It had to be a total labor of love and I imagine have all these craftspeople working with them doing the bodywork and painting and forming must have been done by them primarily for love of it. Its not like this can provide much of a return on an investment, unless the return is the pride on doing it. Otherwise, the shuttle would have eventually rotted away in some crap yard somewhere. I always believed that the design of the shuttle also influenced early mini vans, like the Dodge Caravan or Ford Windstar etc, with their slanted windshield etc.
Superb!!
Wow amazing work👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
great use of music!
Ready for an endless series of sci fi conventions!
Wow!!
Next episode....Engine overhaul 👍
WOW NOW THAT IS AWESOME LOOKING
Not wanting to sound miserable, but it's not so much a restoration, but a complete replacement!
My heart was pounding!!!
Bravo! Well done!
