*Q&A ANSWERS BELOW!* Remember to leave your question in the first 2 hours of each new video, and I'll answer as many as I can *Are you going to attempt to make your own sails too?* No, I am talking to a couple of sailmakers about that currently - but I might be able to help out with parts of the process! *Why not wet / steam the beam before you twist?* The timber is so green that I was able to get away without steaming it. Steaming timber can be stressful and it’s good to have a lot of people to handle it. Having said that, it might have been quicker if I had just steamed it . *Unrelated to this video, but how are you planning to fair the lead keel?* Lead can be easily and safely trimmed with a power-plane (although it can be controversial on UA-cam!) *Couldn't you have made the beam with the turns and twists built into it like you did the frames, rather than forcing it.* I could have, but to get a finished piece of the same dimensions I would have had to start with a much bigger piece. Also, it would be more work to make it like that! *Can beam shelves be installed as separate pieces, or does it have to be one solid piece of lumber? Is there a point where the length of the boat allows for a split beam shelf?* It generally has to be one solid piece, although scarfs or other joints are acceptable. Some boats however do not have beam shelves, in this case they would need individual brackets on each frame and thicker planks at the top of the hull. *It appears that the beam shelves, once bolted together, are not on centerline to the bow blocks. Is the current position within tolerance? If so, what is that tolerance? If not, I suppose the beam shelves and ribs must be adjusted for final fitment and fastening. What is the path forward?* You are right, they are nearly 1/4” off the centreline right now. But I will pull them onto the centreline before the next step. Shouldn’t be too hard. In the worst case, this would have to be taken into account when fairing the frames. *What tools will you take onboard Tally Ho? Will there be a dedicated workshop / locker on Tally Ho? We know you love your wood working, and as you said, “a boat is never really finished.” * Mostly hand tools, and a few battery tools. Chisels, Mallets, Planes, Caulking Irons, saws, measuring and marking tools, rigging tools, leather-working tools, sail-repair tools, bolt cutters, a cordless drill with a few batteries, and plenty of fastenings and scrap timber! It will definitely be hard to decide what to take, considering the limited space. *What did you end up doing with the ship's original numbers and you plan on incorporating them somehow into the finished project.* They are on a deck beam, which is unfortunately very rotten. They will be copied onto one of the new deck beams. *Leo? Did You grease that big chuck bearing? It looked dry to me.* It has oil fittings on top of the castings - I will keep it well lubricated with those! *Have you considered a hot riveter? My dad had one with a 5/8 die. A pneumatic riveter might be the thing you need.* Yes, I am working on faster and more efficient ways to make rivet-heads! I like to start with the most low-tech method, so that I properly understand the process and can go back to it if neccessary. But I have far too many rivets to make them all by hand. *Are you going to fit her with her original rig or the Fastnet race rig?* At the moment the plan is to replicate the Fastnet race rig with the enlarged sail plan.
Hi Leo, Steve & Alix from Acorn to Arabella had a jig made for making copper rivets, they use square rod, but the process is the same. ua-cam.com/video/8xEKFdkOohs/v-deo.html got to 17 minutes in for the start of the actual jig.
Thanks first off. Secondly, is there anything you can do to protect the boat from earthquakes? As you are in Pacific Northwest in Washington and a very large earthquake is possible and likely in the future.
Thanks for replying to all the questions Leo. A really good read on all of them. Good to catch you on the Western G Flyer channel too. That lazy Suzan had me in awe too. lol
After all that has happened in the last two weeks of never ending bad news 24 hours a day Leo gave me 25 minutes of peace in a world of sadness. Thank you Leo from a retired pensioner
Honestly Leo, if there was a single video to watch and become addicted to Tally Ho… THIS is that video! Incredible use of tools and imagination to complete projects.
Great to see old tools refurbished rather than hauled to the scrap yard. This old equipment was often overbuilt by today's standards and with some tender-loving-care will provide many more years of service...........Cheers
If you need new cutting die's send me a personal message with the numbers, that should be stamped on the sides. My father owns Worthey Screw Machine Products in Alabama. He may be able to help you.
So cool to warp back and see the threading housing that was repair by Keith Rucker from Vintage Machinery in action. Leo your solo work back during this period of the Tally Ho rebuild was amazing to watch. You sir have come a very long way. Thanks for sharing,
"Don't judge you?" you must be joking, you are the smartest, most creative person on the internet. I would sail the world with you knowing all problems will be solved and all things were possible. Amazing in every way. Great job Leo.
Wow , I got to stop the video and comment. You are the master of doing things all alone. just can't get over how you handle such hard and complicated situations by yourself.You always seem to have a trick up your sleeve when it comes to tasks that require more than one person. The master of ingenuity .
I followed Keith Rucker's repair of your threading machine with great interest. Keith knows his stuff. He and his tribe on the OWWM forum successfully identified the 1895 36" Petrie bandsaw that I restored back in 2010. I think I sent you a photograph. Your threading machine should now give you many years of trouble-free service.
No "special wire" needed Leo. That weld will stand anything you can throw at it. I have lost count of the number of sockets,spanners etc.that I have welded for one-off jobs over the years.
I went over to Keith Rucker's channel to watch the thread machine repair. I discovered Keith is near me in Tifton Georgia and he is just down the road a piece from Steve Cross whose sawmill cut your live oak slabs. Though I don't know him I will try to visit Keith as I noticed he is friends with many of my FB friends. Been following you since the beginning. Much respect. Small world.
There is really no need to replace the rails as the dies will self center onto the work piece that is chucked in the threader, they are mostly an anti-twist mechanism once the thread dies are engaged on the work piece to prevent the die head from spinning. I've used pipe machines in far greater states of disrepair and they worked just fine. The bushing replacement should have this machine lasting another 50 years.
I think. To bring this old pipe threader back to life is a great thing as I'm a restoration person myself love to see the old stuff come back to life and be put back to work and be used again
"I want to warn you guys, my metal working is not very good... yet. Im still learning" Translation: Leo is probably better than 98% of the welders in the World today .... When Leo someday says... "I seem to be getting the hang of this metal working"... it will mean he's a Master metal worker... as he is in all his other boat building skills... Dude is mind numbingly humble, and talented!!!
"Not got much done!" JeeZus! This video was excellent. Constantly moving and achieving. Very impressive. I very much enjoyed Keith's videos. As an "English American" I love the way he says "AAAWL". Which I assume means "Oil". God and Coronavirus permitting, if I ever make it back to see my friends in the UK, I will be sure to put a sentence in the conversation with the word "Aaawl" in it, and see if they figure it out.
I've read, (but I'm no linguist), that the Southern US way of pronouncing things is quite similar to English pronunciations in some areas of England at the time their ancestors came across.
I knew a guy from Louisiana who tried to explain to me the difference between "you awwl you put in you caww and you awwl" as in you people. Sounded the same to me.
Thank you Leo for another great video. With Keith cleaning up the rails and fitting the bushings to rails I'm betting you'll get about another 50 years out of that threading machine. As long as the rails don't deflect when you're cutting threads and the bushings stay tight you're good to go. Take care, stay well and looking forward meeting the new shipwright.
Brilliant work on the cutting die and dome heads for the 3/8 threads! Also loved the effort and ingenuity in bending/twisting the deck beams! You’re years ahead of most shipwrights your age 👍✌️😊🙏🏼⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
if and when you've had enough boat-builing you can fall back on your considerable talent as a film-maker. tally-ho! and another thing.... it was surprising the amount of satisfaction i got from watching you slam those beam whatchamacallits into place. i suspect you knew it would.
Talent as a filmmaker ? Oh yes, I simple love Leos Storytelling. It‘s always short but concise, never boring, interesting details and good camera- guidance, perfect!
I'm immensely impressed by your work. You work accurately, with the attention to perfection that a cabinet maker uses, but you also show great ingenuity in problem solving and getting things done and working. I know there used to be lots of people like this in 'the old days' but I had feared that the breed had died out. You are evidence that there are still people who can turn their hand to whatever needs doing, solve problems imaginatively and effectively, and produce excellent results. Jack of all trades, master of them all!
Even though they say there's different kinds of intelligence, I still imagine Leo is noticeably high on the range. I'm pretty sure he's past me and I'm pretty smart;)
A very new sub here and thoroughly enjoying everything. I first started watching because I saw the violin being made with Tally Ho Woods. That violin is ultra stunning ❤ and the sound superb!!! Whatever you choose to do whether it be related to Tally Ho or any other adventure, seafaring or not, please continue to document and upload videos. So many here love and appreciate your spirit and attitude and we sure need your beautiful and inspiring videos. They truly help us in many ways you probably don't realize.
Thanks to you, a person like me who never had a clue about building ships or yachts, today I find myself watching every new video of you, and watching it with great interest, thank you very much!
Leo and Everybody , Really Awesome to see all the Progress on Yacht Tally Ho !! For Me seeing the shots of the Southern Live Oak was Also Awesome. One thing that has always amazed Me is how well The Live Oak Mallets are holding Up !!! I have seen them being used in several of The Yacht Tally Ho videos . It looks like You are "Beating The Crap Out Of Them" !! Steve Cross akaSuperAx
It’s almost amazing what you accomplished by yourself in this period of time Leo. Wow, you can do wonders with a team of volunteers and you can do wonders with a team of one. I watched this when it was released, and watching most of these over again in august 2023, and all still quite entertaining and edifying. Cheers.
A great start to my day. I'm also grateful to Keith for introducing me to your channel. It's been a wonderful thing to binge watch the last couple of weeks.
So we are enablers are we? Sorry it just struck my sense of humor. You are doing a great job and I love the updates as well as your ability to find solutions. The moment I saw the success of your threading I gave a literal thumbs up. Yes I was truly excited for your success as if I was there in person. Thank you Leo.
I found this channel from Kieth's and I have binged every episode and finished on Thursday. Now I wan't more episodes. You are doing a great job young man. Keep up the great work.
Well I'm on episode #68 and I think I have around 130 more episodes to go. Is there any one else at this part of the Tally Ho build. I'm really enjoying this build. I came across it watching Keith Rucker of Vintage Machinery working on Tally Ho's capstan and I've been watching Sampson Boat Co. ever since trying to catch up , I so want to jump ahead to the finish of the build , but I want to watch every step. Leo thank you for your awesome work ethic, and great content and editing skills. I hope to be caught up soon.
Just finished episode #68 and looking forward to catch up to the present over the next few months or so. Just brilliant how this project came together with all involved so far and Leo has not only a true work ethic but appears to have common sense in spades which is a rare commodity these days!!!
The education authorities should put your videos on the school curriculum, your knowledge, determination & manner are an inspiration & something to aspire to. Your an amazing guy.
Great Video! I am always impressed and fascinated when you use ropes, knots, pulley's and clamps to do things. The problem solving you do is really fun to watch. You make it look super easy! Cheers! (pint raised)
Hi, I’m from Singapore. A country with no wooden ship or boat industry, or hobby for that matter.:) Been watching Leo’s channel for a long time and am patron too. Love what Leo’s doing and can’t wait for the next video every time. I just want to know how many here are from other parts of the world. By the way, stay safe everyone.
Leo or should I say Thor, the man with the big hammer who restores old boats...you are amazing dude. I love how you use common devices in unique ways to bend and fit the wood precisely. I am thrilled that none of your 100 foot beams gave way under the pressure and twisting that you applied to them. An amazing result. I also love your genius in jury-rigging the threading machine to create three-quarter inch bolts. What a craftsman.
It seems like such a stupid thing, because "of course I'll never turn the machine on with the key in", and you probably won't just until you do and you can HOPE it only flings the key out on the shop floor. One of the biggest scares I've had with my limited experience with machining. It's not a stupid thing - never leave the key in the chuck, no exceptions.
A good way to be extra safe on a lathe is NEVER take your hand off of the chuck key wrench unless you are setting it on a table. First thing we learned in Machine tool class.
My dad who was a professional fitter always says having the right tool for the job makes things sooo much easier. Is it possible you could update your Amazon wish list with some smaller items we could perhaps get for you?
Glad the hydraulic ram kit arrived in time to help put the beam shelves in place. Leo has a public Amazon wish list that you can often order from. A great way to support the project.
NO question, just admiration at your "on the move and make do" skills including cobbling together that die. I would have to guess that these are the very skills it takes to be a sea and keep her in wind. As always, this broken old old guy imagines adventure through you! Thank you Neil and cheers!
I don't think I've seen anyone as capable as you Leo. Thanks for sharing it. I also think there is great benefit in this being a channel about adventure beyond launch day, to whatever degree you can manage.
I agree with the guys below, though I live on a farm in the sticks, so being "confined" doesn't mean as much as someone living in a town or city...Hope it doesn't effect you with your people coming to do the planking Leo....Stay safe...cheers...rr Normandy, France
I love the music you choose. Appalachian, Irish, Scottish (I guess) fiddling drones, borrowed from the bagpipes long ago. It's truly relaxing and in a way meditative and hypnotic. Good stuff!
Great Leo! You made may day. Impressive skills and out of the box approach on all your problem solving. So happy to watch you as we are in lockdown and therefor even more eager to watch the next step. Could you put a webcam for us just for the time of lockdown?
Very cool fix, it works better than a 3 handed pipe threader..Just be assured Leo, all your doing is not in vain, I doubt in the long run you'll regret any of it because it's all working so well. Thanks Keith for a fantastic fix on the threader and Leo the tool for forming the head on the bolts is pretty cool. Rock-N-Roll !!
I think you can now change your introduction part with My name is Leo i am a ship builder and a sailor and a jig and tool maker that was a good idea with the thread die

Never underestimate a man with a dream and a big ass mallet!

How does one guy have such an amazing combination of determination, knowledge, skill and creativity?
Mind boggling.
He probably is a Qantas pilot and a movie actor come politician in is spare time
He probably doesn't do drugs
Money - and lots of it.
He's a shipwright. It's literally his job.
💯 best videos I have ever found for falling asleep

It is valuable to me as an onlooker, how Leo solve many difficult mechanical problems working by himself.
Leo's ingenuity and tenacity is mind boggling.
Honestly Leo, if there was a single video to watch and become addicted to Tally Ho… THIS is that video! Incredible use of tools and imagination to complete projects.
With all the painful news in the world today, I can't exaggerate what a balm it is to see a master craftsman calmly going about his job. Thanks, Leo.

I would love to see lou come out and hang with Leo for a while. Maybe set up a work party along with a visit from lou. That would be awesome to watch.
I watch Keith all the time..He is great
Only downside of this vlog was the absence of Francesca... Keep up the good work!
Well I'm on episode #68 and I think I have around 130 more episodes to go. Is there any one else at this part of the Tally Ho build. I'm really enjoying this build. I came across it watching Keith Rucker of Vintage Machinery working on Tally Ho's capstan and I've been watching Sampson Boat Co. ever since trying to catch up , I so want to jump ahead to the finish of the build , but I want to watch every step. Leo thank you for your awesome work ethic, and great content and editing skills. I hope to be caught up soon.
I'm rewatching and love it the second time
Just finished episode #68 and looking forward to catch up to the present over the next few months or so. Just brilliant how this project came together with all involved so far and Leo has not only a true work ethic but appears to have common sense in spades which is a rare commodity these days!!!
Great solution for threading the 3/8 rod!
The education authorities should put your videos on the school curriculum, your knowledge, determination & manner are an inspiration & something to aspire to. Your an amazing guy.
Great Video! I am always impressed and fascinated when you use ropes, knots, pulley's and clamps to do things. The problem solving you do is really fun to watch. You make it look super easy!
Cheers! (pint raised)
I'm here for the great woodworking... but making those bolts was REALLY satisfying to watch too!
Hi, I’m from Singapore. A country with no wooden ship or boat industry, or hobby for that matter.:) Been watching Leo’s channel for a long time and am patron too. Love what Leo’s doing and can’t wait for the next video every time.
I just want to know how many here are from other parts of the world.
By the way, stay safe everyone.
Canary Islands
Ontario, Canada.

Ah man!! The ability and tools to machine metal to your needs is one of the best feeling around! No disrespect to my fellow wood butchers.
This made my Quarantine better!
Leo or should I say Thor, the man with the big hammer who restores old boats...you are amazing dude. I love how you use common devices in unique ways to bend and fit the wood precisely. I am thrilled that none of your 100 foot beams gave way under the pressure and twisting that you applied to them. An amazing result. I also love your genius in jury-rigging the threading machine to create three-quarter inch bolts. What a craftsman.

Just a hint. Never leave a chuck key in the chuck. Get in to the habit of always removing and save a disaster happening
I've a dent in my ribcage to remind me not to do it again
Top tip I also learnt from experience : )
I installed a tube on the drill press specifically to hold the chuck key. If it has a place to go, it is more likely to go there.
It seems like such a stupid thing, because "of course I'll never turn the machine on with the key in", and you probably won't just until you do and you can HOPE it only flings the key out on the shop floor.
One of the biggest scares I've had with my limited experience with machining. It's not a stupid thing - never leave the key in the chuck, no exceptions.
A good way to be extra safe on a lathe is NEVER take your hand off of the chuck key wrench unless you are setting it on a table. First thing we learned in Machine tool class.
We are where we are today because we can make something that will make something. Great bit of wood wrangling too.
Early again cheers Leo, hello from the SouthWest of England 🏴.
To everyone stay safe.
Always look for your rebuilding wooden sailboat ⛵️ videos! 😀⛵️😘 Mike from Missouri
Great community here on UA-cam
Well done Leo.
You are a very skilled and resourceful man.
My dad who was a professional fitter always says having the right tool for the job makes things sooo much easier. Is it possible you could update your Amazon wish list with some smaller items we could perhaps get for you?
Jason Frary ...like a webcam 😅
I really like this idea! I would gladly chip in for some stuff when I have the ability to.
@@joanneshellings5457 Or a microphone. You could trade the Bluesmobile for one.
Thank you! I have some stuff on it - www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2J0TQRC5HKY6S?ref_=wl_share
You are a beacon of hope in this dark times! Thank you!
Collabs between two of my favorite UA-cam content creators, tickle my fancy. ;) Excellent work, both of you, yet another machine brought back.
Glad the hydraulic ram kit arrived in time to help put the beam shelves in place. Leo has a public Amazon wish list that you can often order from. A great way to support the project.
im Leo, I am horrible at metal work - proceeds to lay down a weld like a boss and makes a tool that works.
excellent episode. I love how you are able to fix and use old machinery to work on Tally Ho.
Dang lots of fun. Great video
In awe of your project. Hello to the parrot!
NO question, just admiration at your "on the move and make do" skills including cobbling together that die. I would have to guess that these are the very skills it takes to be a sea and keep her in wind. As always, this broken old old guy imagines adventure through you! Thank you Neil and cheers!
I can only imagine the type of people that would give this a thumbs down..may god grant I never meet such people...
I don't think I've seen anyone as capable as you Leo. Thanks for sharing it. I also think there is great benefit in this being a channel about adventure beyond launch day, to whatever degree you can manage.
Brilliant detail, great video, it does bother me a tiny bit that there is a drain somewhere on the Olympic peninsula that is missing it's cover. :D
Nice job with the 3/8" die in the jig!
I agree with the guys below, though I live on a farm in the sticks, so being "confined" doesn't mean as much as someone living in a town or city...Hope it doesn't effect you with your people coming to do the planking Leo....Stay safe...cheers...rr Normandy, France
Live on a farm as well, lots of space to move around, my live has barely changed
I love the music you choose. Appalachian, Irish, Scottish (I guess) fiddling drones, borrowed from the bagpipes long ago. It's truly relaxing and in a way meditative and hypnotic. Good stuff!
Great Leo! You made may day. Impressive skills and out of the box approach on all your problem solving. So happy to watch you as we are in lockdown and therefor even more eager to watch the next step. Could you put a webcam for us just for the time of lockdown?
Very cool fix, it works better than a 3 handed pipe threader..Just be assured Leo, all your doing is not in vain, I doubt in the long run you'll regret any of it because it's all working so well. Thanks Keith for a fantastic fix on the threader and Leo the tool for forming the head on the bolts is pretty cool. Rock-N-Roll !!
I think you can now change your introduction part with My name is Leo i am a ship builder and a sailor and a jig and tool maker
that was a good idea with the thread die
Love Keith's videos.
