This episode, I take some measurements and consider the hogging of the hull of the 1910 yacht TALLY HO, and then use jacks to bend the whole boat back into shape, having removed some of the Iron Floors first. I borrow a forklift, and then start the process of moving and restoring a massive vintage ship-saw - which is like a huge bandsaw but with a static table and a rotating cutting band. This impressive tool could be over 100 years old - perhaps even older than TALLY HO herself!

You should ask them to print a decal or magnet with thier address on it so you can put it on the side.
Send me a copy too

Wow, the optimism in these early episodes that the original wood could be saved is so heartbreaking in a way. Part of the process in another. Great to go back to these episodes and see the sheer effort that Leo put in alone to make this project work. It's so easy to forget that his current crew and patreons and sponsors are all built on this dogged determination
I’m convinced; all of this boat building is because you need tally ho for a pirate ship. The parrot is a dead giveaway.
Loved him riding the forklift!

It's impossible not to admire this guy. I started watching at the end and he had help and the boat was well underway, but when you go back to the start and see him doing some of these massive jobs alone and how daunting the entire project seemed. I honestly think building a brand new boat from the plans would have been easier. It's a hell of a journey and very enjoyable being able to go through so many years and see it come together.
This entire series is a piece of living history as we see how boats used to be built. Considering how important boat shave been to humanity it's fascinating and I really knew nothing about it.
The Ship Saw is EPIC. I was afraid it would take two or three episodes to see it in action, but I'm glad you skipped the 'full restoration', tended to the functional bits while leaving the patina in place to get it fired up and working. What a great asset to have on the job plus the story behind it!
watching people contribute their resources to a very hard working man, instead of these e beggers that have flooded youtube, is inspiring. society needs more of THIS community!!!
Started binge watching this channel in April of 2021. The channel had 311k subscribers when I joined. Loving watching this process. Very entertaining and educational. Inspirational and had me curious about what sort of boat I’d be capable of building on my own. The music choices are interesting at times. Very grateful you are willing to share your talent with the world!
Each time I come back to these earlier videos I am so struck by Leo's work ethic, something I can only envy and hope to emulate one tenth of his prodigious efforts.
WOWWW!!! That saw cut that Live Oak like butter!! Smart investment in a great tool as well as some history.
Your enthusiasm is infectious, taking on a huge project with very limited resources has attracted the very best from the you tube community. loved the clip of the health n' safety advising parrot on top of the forklift. As I commented to Steve Cross, hopefully youngsters are watching these channels and are getting inspiration to follow there hopes and passions rather than feeling obligated to getting a college degree for the sake of it. One question how do you get the time to find such great backing music?
That bandsaw is beautiful,it will be a joy to use. Big pat on the back for giving you the use of the forklift. Projects like this brings out the best in people and serves to remind us all that there are some real top notch people out there. The shop where they restored the Constitution has a bandsaw that is mounted on a pantograph arm,amazing bit of kit. Your saw will make short work of re-sawing beams down to useable planks. Will pay for itself in no time!
There's hardly somebody else imaginable having a comparably good use for a beautifully specialized piece of machinery like You have for Your new old shipwright's bandsaw, is there?
It is very pleasing to see You getting Your shit together with a lot of hard work and some people actively appreciating exactly that, be it with a lended lift or with a bargain for a saw. Thank You for sharing!
The level of complexity, craftsmanship, variety of skills, attention to detail, courage, patience (and on and on and on...) that is required to successfully engage with this project is really staggering. Mad props to you, Leo, and to all who are helping you. Your work renews my faith in the creative power of people. And that saw! Never seen one like it. Fantastic that it was able to be provided to you.
Wow! That's a delicious piece of historic machinery there! Built to last forever if taken proper care of. I look forward to seeing you one day move it to the dock where Tally Ho is moored, load it up onto the deck and sail it to England. Good Luck with it! 🍀
Many of us take on massively daunting and overwhelming projects, but you look like you'll actually succeed and triumph in short order. Bravo.
Leo you are a true inspiration to all of us sailors and want to be boat builders. Best UA-cam video series. You are a hard working man of vast talent. This is reflected by so many people wanting to spend time of their lives working with you, Leo you are the real deal in your craft. I can't wait to become part of the Tally Ho project.
I have to take my hat off to you Leo...Each episode I sit here with my mouth open in awe..Wow.
It’s wonderful to see the younger generation getting involved in a trade. Mastering a trade along with physical work can surely boost your confidence in this world. This is what America was founded on.
People from all over the world coming here and applying their trade and skills. God bless America still.
That Gigantic bandsaw has a nice history to it indeed. It was used in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones as General Grievous personal vehicle.
Great to see an historical piece of equipment being taken care of and used. Dilly Dilly !!
Great episode!! Great progress!!
jimmydiresta.
I hear he originally found the boat on the streets of New York.
Never seen a more skilled and enthusiastic craftsman than Leo the Great.
Wow!! I love old machinery, and that saw is beautiful !! This series is turning out to be one of the best on UA-cam. Nice work :-)
Hadn't seen this one yet, one of my favorites of the whole series. Really cool band saw, glad it'll be used for at least another several decades.
I've been around woodworking forever and thought I've seen every tool. Can't say I've ever seen a ship building bandsaw though.
What impresses me the most is your ability and willingness to apply unique Common Sense to your knowledge, training and talent. You are the right person to complete this project
This series is epic! Can't wait for each new episode!

A real joy watching this project come together. All the different stuff that's going into it and how well produced and edited the videos are. Please keep up the excellent work!
Leo, what a score on that ships saw. I had no idea that there was even one in the area. My father was a boat builder who served his apprenticeship in the Bremerton Navy yard. We built four salmon trawlers in a barn in Agnew. The were 46 - 51 feet overall. When sawing timbers on his big Oliver bandsaw, my brothers and I would manhandle the beam while my dear mom, goggles on, would crouch down and turn the bevels as my dad called them out. As the bevels changed, it was a challenge to keep the timber on the table. Needless to say, I’ve been following your progress with great interest. If I were about 15 years younger, I would be there doing anything I could to help. By the way, a good rip with some paraffin wax will help in sliding heavy timers around on that table. Keep up the great work.
I've been a Craftsman and fabricator most of my life and I have to say that I'm blown away by what you're doing with Tally Ho. The Purpleheart keel impresses the Hell out of me! I've worked with it on small-scale s things but, WOW! As for that old saw, I will say that, sometimes, there's no substitute for an original piece of equipment. Some of my best hand tools are pushing 75-100 years old. This is really cool because not only are you saving Tally Ho from an undeserved grave, you are also saving a unique, antique piece of equipment from a trip to the scrappers. My prediction is that you'll get that saw restored and running and then you'll wonder how you ever got along without it!
9:55 taking 15 mins to choke down some lunch is one the best things when you are working hard, have limited day light (so no time to go for a real lunch break). The food is always the best (even when it's not) and it is such good conversation as well. Some fond memories for me...life's simple pleasures.
Awesome to see that the old ship saw is back in use where it was made for.
This is an piece of industrial heritage and should used regularly. That is the only way to keep it a life. Lubricated and use it and many generations will learn from it.
Serious machine envy, what a gorgeous bandsaw :) Make sure you grab some way oil for the rotating ways...Bar & Chain oil works well for that too. I didn't get a good look at the motor electronics, but since there's a motor to kickstart the 3ph motor, it's probably a static converter. Which means you'll have a 2/3 of the available horsepower of the motor. If you find yourself needing more, rotary phase converter are pretty DIYable. Electronic variable frequency drives (VFDs) are reasonably cheap nowadays too, depending on how much hp that motor has. Both an RPC and VFDs will give you true 3ph and the full horsepower of the motor. Awesome work, watched every minute of the series so far!
I'm so happy and thankful you saved that saw!! To tinker and create with your own hands and tools is amazing!
Hard to imagine doing any kind of 'tinkering' with that behemoth!
Man United lost and a video from one of my favourite UA-cam channels, what a lovely Saturday evening thanks Leo your the best.
the fork lift will make life easier. the saw also a time saver. i guess i didn't read the comments after the live oak was cut. they must have really freaked out about that saw. have done jack hammering in my day it is work no doubt. they can wear their hair anyway they want . what ever works . thanks for the videos . i'm always glad to see a new one.
This project becomes more and more exciting as you go. Thank you so much for sharing and educating us on the process. I absolutely love that ship saw.
Thanks Leo for showing us all how its done!!
Forklift with a parrot is much matter that a forklift without a parrot! ;) and saw is seriously badass
Leo your videos are all very interesting. I was the lead naval architect on the restoration of the C A Thayer (San Francisco National Maritime Museum) a 125 year old, 156 foot lumber schooner. We had a hog of 30 inches on the keel that we flattened out. Being left empty with no cargo for many years allowed this substantially over built schooner to hog. C A Thayer was restored as she was built with all Douglas Fir and tree nails.
wow that's a lot of Hog!
Excellent, Leo. The ship saw is fascinating, and vaguely terrifying! The first time you powered it up in the video, I immediately thought "wow, that's a lot of energy in those massive rotating wheels and that huge blade. Hope they never misbehave!" It's great to see that you decided to acquire the historic saw and get it working again, even though as you mentioned you don't strictly NEED that massive tool. That seems to fit very well with your decision to restore Tally Ho instead of building a new boat which would have been faster and cheaper. Keep it up!
Totally unrelated, it brought a smile to my face to see in the credits that your soundtrack included a song called "Pisco Sour". I'm from Peru where the spirit Pisco originated, and my father started a Pisco distillery. He would have absolutely loved your project, and had a similar fearless attitude towards life: No project or adventure was too daunting, risky, or impossible for him to tackle, and he loved to learn new things by doing. The mention of "Pisco Sour" in your credits connected the dots for me and made me realize those similarities. Keep up the great work, and keep the videos coming... I have to confess the wait in between episodes is becoming tortuous. We want to see more! :-) :-)
You should sell copies of Tally Ho's blueprints. Id like to frame one for my office.
Jordan M my thought too! A tallyho print framed in the teak from that old keel should sell really well
Jordan M .... BRILLIANT IDEA. One way to generate *LOTS* of money. LEO ! Take note ....
Yes id bought one definitely !
I would too
I'd buy one!
Andrea looks like she works for a living :) A very good look.
And shes beautiful too! I bet she could outwork most dudes while looking good.
I agree! Don't mess with Andrea, she looks strong!
@@135Ops - Agree ! We need to see more of Andrea, although originally I was only here for the music
Cool, all the help you get with the rescue of Tally Ho is awesome m8👍.
Leo, you are without a doubt a tradesman of the highest caliber which is amazing to see in a young person. I have followed you from the start of your epic journey and feel guilty for I am unable to contribute and I'm getting a free ride. But you are at the top of my list if my circumstances ever change. Take care and good luck.
Thank you Nate and sorbatto.com this is one of my favorite shows.
Wow boat building single handed looks like bloody hard work,luckily you have youth on your side,bloody well done sir
I've ordered a complete set of coins from SV Seeker & have already received yours. Great design by the way can hardly wait to get the rest of the collection. Thanks for offering the opportunity to support your channel/boat build & get a great piece of swag in the process! Look forward to more videos in the future.
Very inspiring to see so much passion being spent in a positive way. Very enjoyable to follow your progress on this massive project. Tally Ho for now!
Wow, so great to see everyone helping to get that saw running!
The story continues, as does the generosity of so many: forklift, ship's saw etc. It must be uplifting for you, after taking a bit of a hammering with some of those massive single-handed tasks you've had to take on just lately.
Great people , Great episode....!
Wow... That was one busy episode! Things are ramping up for ya by the looks of it.
Can’t wait to see that saw in action with all the live wood
hi leo ,your one cool dude, don't take crap from no one, your humbleness is what gives you respect and as opened doors of favor, where I come from many are cowards! they don't respect trades like this and people like you...
Awesome to see the use of that saw. FYI flip flops and fork lifts don’t mix!
Love seeing a shipsaw back in action.
Leo, excellent work, glad to see you're getting some serious gear!
If you're looking to sell those pieces of iron, go to a specialist - pre WWII iron is worth more for its low radiation content (can be used in scientific instruments)
Nice to see so many joining in on the build!
Beautiful saw! more keel progress is exciting too. It's great to see this project picking up pace into this summer. Keep up the great work!
Fascinating and well produced. So glad its you doing it.
I wouldn’t be able to get any work done watching that neighbor working the jackhammer. That ship saw was amazing. But the neighbor is a work of art. Stunning.
Sweet upload Leo. That forklift is a total boon given the size and weight materials you have to shuffle around.
What an astounding piece of machinery. Delightful seeing something like that saved and used instead of rusting in a field.
Seeing this saw reminds me of the time I bought a 28” band saw built around the same time as this one while I was living in California. The frame of it was a single iron casting in the shape of a giant “C” and the wheels were 28” in diameter, spoked and also solid castings. I was so excited when I got it back home and into the shop that I couldn’t wait to fire it up. It had no blade guard whatsoever and as I made my test cut in a scrap piece of 2x4 the blade came off the wheels which was pretty alarming. I used the piece of wood I was holding to turn the machine off so I wouldn’t have to go near the unshielded blade. A moment later the lower wheel slid forward off its axle still rotating at full speed. It bounced upwards into the bottom side of the table with enough force to break off a piece of the table about the size of my hand which landed right behind me after hitting the ceiling two stories above. The wheel exploded into about 20 pieces as it launched itself into my jointer across the shop to my right. It all happened so fast I just stood in the midst of the chaos surprised at how I had evaded death or serious injury. I ended up selling that machine shortly thereafter and resolved to only work with newer machinery after that.
There is nothing even nearly as interesting or entertaining on TV or netflix than your videos. Thanks Leo!
Keel, frames, planking, deck, done! Tally ho.😁
If only it was that easy. Awesome of your benefactors to give so freely. 👏
That saw is like a piece of art.
Found your video's and to understand what this boat was about in it's beginning I've watched the last 10 months of your videos and I'm amazed as a mechanic people say how do you remember where it all gose while you never built it but rebuilding it's history im inspired by the determination to finish this amazing boat keep up the hard work it's BEAUTIFUL Beaches ahead like you said
This is one of the best informative productions on another art in wooden construction on youtube. With a sustainable future that can have a minimum impact on the environment all of you are creating another revival of when ships were made of wood and men were made of iron. Keep a going and Thanks , Doug
Just awesome, Wish the videos were weekly
Love the saw, she looks great in working condition.. shows her history.
FYI- I’m a big fan of endless polyester round slings.. cheap, light, strong and they won’t tear up your wood... Handy to have around if you’re moving a bunch of stuff like you’re doing.
Thank you Leo, (and now Pete) a wonderful display of quality craftsmanship. It is so great to know shipwrights and their art still survives and is flourishing.
Fantastic vid, Leo. Great saw!
~Hans
What a great find in that saw! Not to mention the forklift...
Or Andrea
Great to find the vid of this fantastic machine Leo! Good luck with the MASSIVE project. Greetings from the Guadiana.😘😘
I love the ship saw. It's great to see something like that working perfectly, doing what it's (beautifully) designed to, after 100? years.
Great job editing this video and so good to see you moving ever forward. You've got a really hot neighbor too! Thanks and continued good luck!
Let's see..appropriate words here..SPLENDIVERIOUS..that's my take, machines a beauty, neighbor helper is a beauty and the friends that helped get the saw moved are beauties too; Dreams do come true for TALLY HO...
That bansaw is awesome! Thanks for sharing your hard work and also saving a piece of industrial history.
Such a pleasure to see these skills put to use. I hope this inspires other boat builders and potential restorers!
That saw is one of a kind and I am glad it's going to someone who appreciates it!
Leo, surround the bandsaw with pallets all around and screw down some OSB to connect it all for a platform to work from to keep you out of the mud and debris. This will also benefit in raising you higher for a good sight line. Looks like the stars have aligned over this project.!
That saw and shipwrights band and hand saws in general have been in my dreams for many moons, thank you so much for sharing your amazing experience and knowledge.
Great episode. Concerning your old Ship-Saw. Lou from tales of a Ship Rite has a great episode on sharpening the blade on his Ship-Saw. You might be able to use the information.
Great video as usual. i just can't figure out who would watch it and give it a thumbs down.
It’s Amazing what you have accomplished in these five crazy years Leo…. It is fun to see these early videos. Keep it up!
Love the idea that you bringing tally ho back to life the new old saw looks fantastic. Just be carful with it, it not having any type of guarding could be an issue seriously look at putting some guarding on it. Do a favour for all of the volunteers that show up and ask that they have some type of covered toe shoes on. Okay taking my safety person hat off and wishing I was there to help a little. Keep it up it is coming along before you know it ,it will be in the water and the wind will be in your face LOL
Truly an amazing builder.
THE TRANSFER OF THE SAW & ITS JOURNEY IS AWSOME !
Best one yet. Hoping to get up there again in June.
Another fantastic video. You never cease to amaze me with your skill and knowledge ....even if you are using a chain saw.
And I'm glad to see our Canadian "boys" are willing to travel great distances to help out. Yeahhhhh!
Always enjoy looking forward to your next videos. Thank you Leo. God's speed brother! Thanks for sharing!
What a windfall of tools. Congratulations!
Still catching up having only learned about this amazing project that has been in my very own town the whole while we have been here. We got here in 2019. Leo beat us to it. Quite the education, I now know more about what i am seeing in these videos.......futtocks!
Really look forward to these VLOGS. Leo your skill and determination are a lesson to us all. Keep up the great work.
Major bandsaw envy here LOL
Cheers from Tokyo!
How good is that forklift! Will make your life much easier Leo. Blueberry Hill Berries - you guys rock! That ship saw is also awesome!
Leo: Truly an amazing project.You could not have found a more appropriate tool for the job than the Ship Saw. Well Done.......
