I'm a design engineer for modern day cruise liners and actually learned from this video. Our hull disciplines steel drawings makes much more sense now. Great content!
I used to think I was a fairly capable woodworker, but after my head exploded around the 10 minute mark..... I can see I'd been mistaken for some time now. Great work Leo, AMAZING attention to detail.
Having seen the finished article in all her glory, rest assured Leo did a fantastic job of lofting Tally Ho. I think the spirit of Mr. Strange would be well pleased!
I'm bingeing from episode 1 (sat in hospital having said goodbye to the old prostate ...). You are who I wanted to be at 16. Used to knock around in the now long gone wooden boat builders yards in Exmouth as a kid. Used to design and create lines plans & offsets for a winter hobby - because spring summer and Autumn were for sailing ;-) been holding back on commenting but I cracked .... Poncho is the boss ...
I would imagine that 99.9% of us only have the smallest understanding of what you are doing, but I think we all enjoy watching someone who know what they are doing, do it!

Coming from a man who has spent his life fixing things, automobiles, house, ect., watching your skill and love for your trade is a refreshing change from most people's lives.
As a carpenter who's spent his entire career making sure all his structures were plumb, straight and square, all these bends, twists and curves are making my head spin! An extra set of skills are needed for this kind of work.
I do hope that you do not destroy your full scale loft drawing when you are finished with them. They would make a great wall decoration in a museum or a boat/seafarer bar. I assume someone would pay a pretty penny for the. Fascinating
Just found your channel and binged while I am laid up with a flue. As a fine furniture/cabinet maker, I am in awe of your skill and work ethic. As regard your technique, no one has the right to be critical. We are watching a masterclass. All the best from Perth, Western Australia.
Well done lad! I love to see something done right. People will watch your videos 70 or 80 years from now after we're all gone and will understand the boat they will be looking at tied to the dock, because you know she'll still be here. Cheers!
I’m rewatching these earlier videos to remind myself of how far you have come on this rebuild .... I am more appreciative of the difficult decisions you had to make ... and for those that have helped you continue work on this project
Incredible that you have transferred the plans to full size. The definition of craftsmanship is treating all stages of construction with equal care. Good job!
Hey, say Hi to Mark. I applied for a shipwright apprenticeship in Sydney round about 1988, I got an aprenticeship but the recession hit Australia about that time and the market for boats collapsed. My biggest regret in life was not going back to do it again. So it's good to see Mark where I wanted to be. :)
My father was a Naval Architect and partner at Laurent Giles, having watched him at his draughting table for many years it's delightful to see someone loft a set of lines and explain the process. You are working without the drawings of construction details and written specifications that he would have provide, hat's off to you for taking it on, he would have really appreciated your attention to detail and craftsmanship as I do.
I must not understand....I would have numbered each vertical rib from front to back, used that wooden "chain" thing next to each rib, transferred that shape to a piece of plywood, cut that side view of the rib out from the plywood, take that as a template for each rib, clamped the template to the respective rib, compared the cutout, then traced that on to the piece of live oak for the corresponding left and right side rib. The #1 front right vertical rib should be the same as the #1 front left vertical rib. Do the same all the way to the back of the boat...but I'm not a boat builder, don't plan on building a boat but still find this interesting.
@@SampsonBoatCo amigo Sampson quería una ayuda de su parte del plano de perfil donde están las líneas de astillas o vagras es donde se saca el escantillon para las cuadernas. Es lo q quiero saber si me podría ayudar con mi pregunta?
Although it is beyond anything I could ever imagine undertaking, and also don’t understand much of it, I’m utterly fascinated and listen to every word. Truly an amazing project. One of the very best channels I’ve ever watched. Good job. Thank you
I’m so glad I stumbled upon these videos. You’re a phenomenal craftsman and drive me, as a carpenter, to continue to want to build my skills. I’m in the process of rebuilding my 1988 Aluminum Bass Tracker, and I thought I was overwhelmed with the amount of work I have to do. Just goes to show that if you plan accordingly, take everything in steps and don’t cut corners, then you’ll be successful. I look forward to following this all the way through and seeing the finished result!
the technical stuff is incredible and's a great resource for the community so don't fret about that. repeating the apology over is the only edit or critic I could come up with. edits great, camera work is great and looks like tally ho is pulling for you hard already.
I watch and observe what you are doing with the lofting on the plywood and am really intrigued by your work!I could not do this myself but now I have a better understanding of what your end result will be.Like you said, 10 years from now if you look back and did not do the lofting you would have a lot of regret with curves of the hull! Excellent work! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain in detail what you attempting to accomplish! Right on mate!😀👍
I worked in a lofting shop for a year at Todd Shipyard. Steel is much easier than timber. Awesome work, I can’t wait to see you start cutting frames with that articulating band saw.
I really don't know why i am watching these videos, i don't really understand or know anything about boats but it is really entertaining so i think i'm going to keep an eye on this channel :)
Wow. I have read in theory about lofting. But to watch it on such a large boat in reality is quite amazing. I would get lost after drawing the first two lines. Excellent job.
Fredrick Rourk I feel like the intimidation would be from not expecting it to take as long as it does. But you’ve gotta loft to make sure you get a good result
@@benja_mint modern boats are drawn in CAD but you still cant skip the human eye part of the operation. im trained in the traditional stuff but have built a couple of strip plank composite boats that had their stations(frames) CNC cut from the CAD drawings. even with the CNC cut stations and CNC cut jig to set them up on you still have to lay fairing batons all around the jig+stations and eyeball it, theres always something that needs adjusting. you simply cant see everything on a screen/not full size. for example one of the boats i did had very flat topsides from the mast step forward. he intended it to be very flat but still slightly covex. when we set the jig and stations up the boat LOOKED concave at that point. it wasnt, the curve wasnt wrong (3 people independantly checked the jig and stations including the designer himself) but it just didnt LOOK how he intended. you cant catch these kinda things in software and thats the same kinda things leo is looking for heer by doing a full size drawing.
C'mon dude, you gave her your old holy socks...and she's wearing them on the wrong feet...eish! Tally Ho's refurbishment is getting more and more fascinating with each step forward..loving it.
Since Leo is on hiatus and I needed my "Tally Ho" fix I went to catch up on a few videos I had previously skipped while catching up over the last months. These 2 lofting videos were what I expected - It was a flashback to Algebra class that went like this - I stare at the teacher at the blackboard listening intently as I see her mouth moving but the sound fades away as I sit slack jawed in a trance......moments later I'm waken with Leo playing with Poncho and I snap back to reality. It's at this point I realize there won't be a test, I didn't have to remember it and all I need to do is stare intently while nodding and soon enough it's over! Since I know Leo understands what he's talking about and will be drawing all the lines all is well in the world again.... And might I say, I'm impressed with your concentration Leo as you have some beautiful distractions that might derail a project like this if say it were to be myself taking on this challenge.... You Da' Man!
Leo a friend of mine just retired from a large aerospace company here in GA. He is a mechanical engineer and he commented that young people just don’t have the drive or discipline to build things. Thanks for proving him wrong! Think I’ll send him the link to your videos.
"The base design was based on a combination of a deep hull, long keel, heavy displacement and powerful gaff cutter rig. This made a lightweight and overpowered single masted boat with large steeply angled keels, making it deep draught under power and shallow draught in lighter sail. However, competition-based evolution between different builders and commissioning owners enabled the design to improve over a period in excess of 90 years. This continual experimentation to gain slight advantages created a fast boat that could operate in all weathers, resulting in what in the opinion of many was the best sailing boat design ever"
Absolutely, brilliant work, old shipwrights never retire, trust, in the work, keeps it alive....solid Ocean Vessel, magic of wood water, and wind....and You w/ friends..... Ahoy...or "Tally Ho", Cheers.
Leo, you are a very patient and skilled craftsmen. I don't understand all of what you are doing, but I look forward to seeing your next video. Keep up the good work. Caio
from this video i learned two things (1) how cad worked before computers (2) why people used to avoid curved lines as much as possible before computers
Nice work Leo. Lofting videos are like buses. None for ages and then two come along in quick succession! Yours and the one from Acorn to Arabella. Pity you are on opposite sides of the US, you could no doubt help each other out. Oh, and did I say? you are a true craftsman. Keep up the good work!!!
I love the look you gave at the end when you say you have to quit so you can edit the video. Yes, these videos are the necessary evil that keeps the project going, but I appreciate the quality with which they are edited. Carry on, then....
This knowledge is what you get when you live and breathe ship building. Sure glad youre the one doing it and I'm the one watching. Other way around we would have a boat with lead keel sideways and upside down and no symetrical lines... "And now comes the clever bit" Hey I know what nails are! lol
I am in awe of this, the skill, understanding, technical knowledge and application is just wonderful. Add the determination and commitment and you have Leo.
Leo without doubt you are one hell of a talented man and your videos are a must to watch,even these last 2 vids have been so interesting to watch, technical yes but to us who are going to watch you right through to launching her then we can appreciate everything you have had to do.
I have felt stupid before in my life, but after listening to your explanation of the lofting process ... omg!!! Don't get me wrong - I dig your videos, so please keep it up :-)
At 3:16, Chapelle's book, a moleskine notebook and a stubby pencil. We love it, especially in today's age of apps. We have finished many a project with that same "project management system."

So you've been holding out on us until now??? Lol
Nails. I understood the nails. Oh and the pasta. Still enjoyed every minute..

This video finally showed me the real difference between a good woodworker and a boat builder.
I imagine that lofting floor can become art, for a nautical resteruant wall in Seattle, LA, new York , etc etc.
that would be cool! especially if they have lots of dosh hahah
Keep thinking.. Keep your options open..you never know where life will go

beautifully analog
If made some Sampson boat building Co tshirts. I would buy one....anyone else?
Count me in
Teespring let's you design your own shirt, set the price,they handles shipping and orders for a commision...perfect for a busy shipwrights project!
Yup, me too.
It's got to have a pocket.. or I won't buy one.

I have to keep watching to see which lady will turn up next month. 😀. Great job , keep em coming
It is good to see a man who has such a passion for what he does.

Wow. I have read in theory about lofting. But to watch it on such a large boat in reality is quite amazing. I would get lost after drawing the first two lines. Excellent job.
You wouldn't really, it comes to your mind as you start drawing, as you 'see' in your minds eye the hull shape

Visit a sailmaker, they are still used daily.

Love the music that you choose, a great bonus
Man I love this project so much
Jolly good show.. ole man!
When you go from a design to lofting it out from the offsets an body plans think that gives you a feeling about the boat , Great job and video's
