Tally Ho Capstan Project: Part 1- Pattern Layout & Glue Up
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Dave starts a new project: make a pattern for a capstan for Sampson Boat Co's 1910 English sailboat named "Tally Ho". This is Part 1: Pattern Layout and Glue Up.
Capstan- a machine with a drum that rotates round a vertical spindle and is turned by a motor or lever, used for hauling in heavy ropes, etc.

Hey Dave - this is awesome, thank you so much!! I'll make sure to share this too. All the best - Leo
My pleasure! I'd be happy to help anytime!
Ah, the English gentleman from England
The Commander himself!!
I saw 'Tally Ho' and immediately subscribed. Anyone who's trusted to work on Leo's Tally Ho must be a master of their craft.
Same
Same here. Anything connected to Tally Ho will be added.
Except the first tank-guys ;) but yes, generally i feel the same!
@@kiljanammann9300 but did those amateurs post a video?
@@johnvanhal2450 not that I know. And I guess they would have deleted it after leo showed the results of their work, if they did
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
👍
This is awesome Dave!
Looks like you are off to a good start! Glad to have you helping out on this project!
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!
Marvellous, another channel subscribed, I love all this stuff, and hopefully very soon I won’t have time to go to work any more 😂
Lovey to watch you - thank you for sharing your craft!
Already a Tally Ho fan, nice that the YT logic offered this gold mine too. Good stuff!
Dude, you are a beast! That MDF dust is pure evil, and you got your face right in there!
MDF? It’s mahogany. But is it better? Maybe not
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
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.
yeah, it shows how dumb people are. this is very basic stuff@@sparrowdudu
Great video! Love to keep watching! DD
Great video, Im a Tally Ho subscriber for ages, also now on your channel - Dave, Johannesburg South Africa
I like this a lot. Very cool stuff...
I am an avid watcher of the Tally HO project. Thanks for helping the cause!
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!
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.
Glad to see a Clevelander contributing to the tally, ho project!
Thanks for supporting Tally Ho! I am glad to subscribe to you
Nice work Dave👍👌🍺🇬🇧
Thank you so much for partnering with Tally Ho !
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
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 ❤
Hi Leo, this presentation makes me appreciate your excellent talent at describing the technical into easily understood language.
Another craftsman at work! Pattern makers in foundries were the cream of the workforce and you're definitely continuing that tradition.
I have been following Tally Ho since the live oak video. Nice to see the North Coast is involved as a Lorainite!
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.
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!
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!
interesting, never seen little dogs used in a glue up before, cheers
Subscribed and looking forward to seeing your progress!
My grandfather was a master craftsman and worked with patterns. I have a few of them, still. The important ones that he kept. Although, some I am not sure what they are. Wish I had learned from him. Nice to see people keeping the tradition alive.
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…
Enjoyed the content and didn’t realize how much was involved in the process.
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.
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.
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.
That's a big disk sander!
Very Cool... Thanks for helping Leo out, I've been watching him & Keith for years... Now I'll be watching you too!!
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!
Here for Tally Ho too, fom the UK. I really enjoyed watching your work. Thanks, Dave.
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.
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. ..
Hey, Dave! Thanks for titling this the way you did! The algorithm made sure I saw it!
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.
As soon as I saw Tally Ho I was into your project. I did not know about you but now I have subscribed so as not to miss any part of this series. Thanks.
Tally Ho! is slowly taking over the internet. This is a good thing.
Awesome work, free handing circles. Wow.
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.
Legends coming together for tally ho !!!
I've been watching Leo and Tally Ho since they started the project - love seeing all my favorite UA-cam channels getting involved!! Thanks for doing this Dave and thanks for keeping this skill ALIVE!
Couldn’t have said it better
Great Job!
Leo sent me. Subscribed
It's always fascinating to watch a true craftsman at work!
So happy I am working in the metrical system. Calculations are so much easier. I also would have checked on te counterparts where this is sitting on top....
Awesome, Tally Ho sent me :)
Very interesting process. It's kind of amazing to see the level of woodworking that goes into patterns.
been watching Tally Ho so thank you for helping out
Anyone helping out Tally Ho deserves my respect. I’m now a subscriber. Cheers. 🇨🇦
Really appreciate your support for Leo and Tally Ho!
Excellent video! It's great to see into the different other areas of the Tally Ho rebuild.
Thanks Dave! Nice work just subscribed! Came across from Tally Ho !
I, too, saw it was for Tally Ho and immediately subscribed
Amazing how this capstan project has brought together great craftsmen and UA-camrs 😃
it is stuff that a kid could do in a primary school woodworking class
Glad to be a new sub I know Kieth and Clark as well as watching Leo fixing up the tally ho.
Found several new channels thanks to Keith Rucker. Nice job, man. New sub!
Great job Dave! I’m a foundry engineer and watching the tally ho project has left something to be desired on the casting side of things. Thank you for showing what we do at such a high level!!
Are you ... perhaps referring to the problem on the first pour of the keel ..? It's just that I'm interested in this field. Not trying to slag anyone's effort.
@@kendonahve924 I really would have loved to see more of the work done at port Townsend foundry!
Awesome! I can't wait to see this whole collaboration play out. It's always fascinating to watch a true craftsman at work!.
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!
If Keith couldn't get it apart without breaking it, probably no one could.
Don't forget Windy Hill Foundry...
having watched Keith and Clark break the casting disassembling it, and Clarks comment well now I guess I need to cast a new one, its good to see the next step in the process.
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.
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. Ive watched Leos channel for awhile, found all of you fine folks from Adam Boothe’s channel too. great entertainment.
Hey Dave, I'm a first timer to your channel - But I am a regular on Leo's so I wanted to see what to see what was happening with the Capstan. I thank you for your update.
Dave takes a look at it at "guesses" 14 9/16." 😊
Truly, a master.
Awesome can not wait to see the next steps!
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.🤪
Incredible work Dave. I hope you can pass down your knowledge and tools to your kids and grandkids. The amount of skilled craftsmen involved with all things Tally Ho is amazing.
Glad you joined part of the Tally Ho adventure. Fascinating work to build the pattern. Will look forward to the next installment.
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.
I’ve never seen any of those little hammer dogs you used to hold the pieces for glue up before- how cool!
Thanks Dave your a real pro! Learned a lot so far, you are a great American.
Came over from Sampson Boat Co. Fun to see the other side projects that go into Tally Ho. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for posting and sharing.
Thanks for your interest in the project
This was recommended because I'm subscribed to Samson Boat Co. Straight talk: If it's worth your time to do this for Leo and Tally-Ho, it's worth my time to watch (another skilled craftsman). Thanks for posting. And thank you for helping Leo.
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
👍✨ Nice work Dave.
So glad I came across this video! I am a big fan of Leo and Tally Ho. The people working on the Tally Ho project are top notch. 🙂
Hi Dave, wondering did you know Joe Z , Imperial Model and Pattern!
I enjoy your channel!
Keep up the good work 👍
JIM ❤
Pretty good bet - when Keith breaks something, both you and Clarke will be getting a call! Can't wait to see the entire process!
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.
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.
I really like to see that layout process in full time from above.
It’s nice to see Leo using more UA-camrs, I’m excited to see how it turns out
Absolutely fascinating. You can tell Dave is a master craftsman.
Just came across your channel and I have been watching all of the build going on from Keith Rucker and on the tally ho glad to see you working on this you got my subscription thanks for helping them out
Thanks Dave. The videos are getting better keep them coming.
Yes well done. How to cast a capstan hub.....
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.
It's actually a privilege to watch a craftsman of this level at work. The thought process, the implementation. Not all that long ago everyone was guarded and secretive about their process, but these days, it is all there online. A very altruistic world we live in now.
it is stuff that a kid could do in a primary school woodworking class

Awesome! I can't wait to see this whole collaboration play out
If this guy is working on” Tally Ho”he’s a top drawer craftsman .. subscribed 👍

The segmented idea is the same as how woodturners make segmented bowls. However, woodturners cut the segments using a 'wedge' sled on a table saw, and when done carefully the segments fit together perfectly with no sanding needed at all. That saves time and the fit is better.
