@@SampsonBoatCo Oh. That's good. I just know that they don't use that kind of woods in guitars anymore because of ethical reasons.

And ivory of course.
I agree. It was bittersweet seeing Arabella launch. We all knew from the start that there was eventually going to be an end date. Otherwise no one would ever get started.
Agreed. But that hair. It never changes. Which means he spends a lot of time and effort to make it look like he puts no effort into it. That's just silly.
@@AW-pz3qc Yep! It's one thing to have a solid team, which is absolutely there, but you need someone like The Dutchess to elevate a team to pure brilliance. I have to say, I don't think I've ever seen a better or more complementary team assembled anywhere.
The mark of a true “Craftsman”….the ability to swing an axe/hatchet at a several thousand dollar hunk of wood, and not have a heart attack………….I am most impressed.
What struck me about the shots of Zeal clearing out the cutout for the prop with the axe was how little impression the axe was making. It's not a light tool, and it's razor sharp, but that purple heart is almost shrugging off the axe blows.
Hi Leo, Many thanks for having us along to be a part of this amazing journey of your's. It must be great to have some time on the tools as you are getting less and less of. As things progress I am seeing more and more possibilities for placing the medallion's I want to do for the lady. I see now why you want to wait. One fine day the right place will be found and I can honor my offer. Take care and see you soon.
That’s so true. I think that after every episode. It’s not just the carpentry. The bronze fittings. The plumbing and tanks. The engine and electrical systems. The fact that Leo lets the crew to take the time to get everything perfect is important. A for profit boat building company would be very hard pressed to build a boat as fine as Tally Ho. This boat is so special, and so is her crew.
Wow, Zeal has some pretty freakin' amazing skills. Incredible work. Boat is looking amazing and the whole crew is doing such an amazing job. Definitely look forward to Saturdays!
The effort, care and detail is everywhere. Every video is a tapestry. There's obviously countless practical skills on display, but there's also all the planning, people and project managing, photography, video editing, etc. subtly being displayed because its so masterful. I am sure it's hours of effort and stress bts but it is noticed. Ie. Even the drilling and driving is in sync : 15:30
To see a young man like Zeal with such huge talent in his craft is beyond words. That man has an enormous future ahead of him in whatever he does beyond Tally-ho. I hope he will make his future exploits accessable via social media to his huge army of fans around the world.
Far and away the best UA-cam channel. No need for gimmicky eye candy footage, just plain and productive hard work that happens to look exquisite. Thank you very much, Leo, job continues to be extremely well done.
I love women, but I may have a man crush on Zeal 😂. But seriously, the man is extremely talented and very sublime, and he’s a lot of fun to watch on the screen. Top of the cool list.
Watching Zeal shape this rudder reminds me of watching Leo building the keel timber. Which is actually how I got into watching this series. My buddy said - Wanna see the biggest scarf joint ever? And the rest is history... Awesome watching Leo and his crew work.
Leo I can't impress on you how much I enjoy my cup of coffee on a Saturday morning while catching up with you, Patty and the gang building Tally Ho. It's exactly the kind of melo mornings I need after a week of work to off load and relax. Boat is looking amazing man.
The last scene sums up the effort , thousands of hours of blood sweat and ...... laughter, Leo's hand is resting on his beloved; feeling the warmth of old growth teak . So many people will be able to touch and enjoy as well , in the future. So much value in that ,thats why I am a patreon supporter.
Just think, a few years ago, she was nothing but a bunch of rotten wood in a boat shape, now, she's all brand new and so close to splashing water again ya can taste it!!! Awesome job and excellent craftsmanship you and the ladies and gentlemen who have come and gone over her lifetime and all the footage of the rebuild to boot!!! You're all awesome 👍❤️ stay that way. I have never started a bucket list, but, taking a sail on the completed Tally Ho would definitely be the first one to make the list.
Every week you folks show me new skills I cannot imagine. But I've watched as some of you have gone from as unskilled as me (in some ways) to being the ones doing things regularly. Growth is such a rewarding thing to watch over time. I don't know any of you, but I have a real sense of pride for all I've seen as you continue to bring this beautiful piece of working art to life.
I'm not a sailor or a boat builder, but I can recognize when a craftsman really cares about what he is building, and it shows here. Bravo! And I really like your choices in background music. :)
A few years back I took a woodworking course and our instructor said remember you are not building a violin. I think the team working on TALLY HO missed that class. The skills we are seeing suggest they might just take up building violins after this project hits the water. And no disrespect to anyone working on violins just amazing work by everyone on TALLY HO.
I build guitars (both acoustic and electric). Back when I was learning the skills and I asked my teacher if something was "good enough" or if I should keep refining it, he would often reply: "This might be good enough if you were building a fine high-end cabinet, but this is a guitar! A good guitar is as much a piece of art as it is an instrument". I believe the Tally Ho crew has the same mindset.
As a carpenter myself retired. l can still enjoy watching a expert at his job and your guy making the rudder is a special craftsman please pass on a big thank you . On to him for me love watching people on the tools
Perfect episode- not a single dull moment..what a talented crew, beautiful materials, and cool tools. The keels orange is the wildest- wettest shade my eyes have ever taken in. Its the color which Gulf Racing laid down on the team cars alongside a baby blue..fires up the imagination, & contrasts big time with anything close
Zeal, every single episode you're in I'm left stunned at your craftsmanship. That rudder is simply a work of art. It is a shame it will be mostly submerged for most of its life.
Zeal is an absolute master at his craft. That rudder is a work of art, crafting, shaping fitting... I am in awe every time I see it. Literally stunning 😀😀
Beautiful work, Zeal - astounding, really - such a complicated 3D shape, such hard material, such precise fittings (cast, by the Tally Ho cast plus foundry friends, in pounded sand molds) - and the entire apparatus has to work hydrodynamically, not just aesthetically! Really wondrous achievements, week by week. Thanks for another great glimpse of your progress. . .
It's easy to overlook the enormity and complexity of the rudder project. Zeal's knowledge and craftsmanship was the perfect fit for such a task. Glad we are seeing the fruits of his labor.
WITHOUT A DOUBT THE VERY BEST BOAT BUILDING CHANNEL PERIOD ‼️⛵️I HAVE TO SAY THE MOST TALENTED CRAFTSMAN, THIS IS ONE HELLOFA PROJECT ‼️⛵️ THANK YOU GUYS‼️‼️
Absolutely phenomenal boat building skills. Leo and his crew are without question the best of the best when it comes to wooden boatbuilding craftsmanship and problem solving. As a former wooden boatbuilder I'm truly amazed by their amazing skill and determination. Making and installing the massive rudder for this boat was a monumental undertaking and definitely not for the inexperienced to attempt! Congratulations.
Leo, always great to see you get a chance to be hands-on and taking a break from project management/editing. Reminds me of the beginning of the project (4 years ago!) when you were shaping the giant frames, with the help of some volunteers but oftentimes by yourself. Your level of craftsmanship is what drew me to the channel.
As always I'm in awe of the craftsmanship on display in these episodes. Yes, I'll still be interested in what happens with Tally Ho once she is in the water, but following the reconstruction from the beginning has been an unending delight. Meeting the folks who volunteered along the way; the hard work they did which was often repetitive but always essential; the addition of Pete and other shipwrights along the way; and, the commitment to the highest level of craftsmanship in EVERYTHING. I'm happy to be a patron and not at all surprised that people around the world would be supporting this effort. There is NOTHING on offer on television or UA-cam to compete with the content you are giving us Leo. Thank you for all you do. And thanks to these hard working men and women who love this sailboat as much as we all do.
Something that shocked me a bit that hit me with this. When Arabella went into the water - so much of it disappeared. So much of Tally Ho's beautiful lines under water. What will be cool is someday are photos of her sails full, heeled against the wind exposing her beautiful curves. That would be a wallpaper money shot!
2:19 Leo is not joking, it really is very difficult to shape when you have to get the right tweaks. We use this wood as a replacement for the core of old beams in some applications of restorations. Obviously this means it's basically cut with a saw for the most part, but whenever some personalized tweaks are required, unless you have sharp, sharp tools, you'll be struggling with it. Very dense, very stable. Awesome wood.
The life of a boat builder: "I've just fitted this, now I'll remove it & refit it before I finish it" !! Also, as a guy whom has painted a few houses & cars, I thought I used a lot of tape... ...but you folks win that award hands down!
@Leo, the hole in the rudder, used for lifting right at the balance point, seems to be overlooked. That's the historic way for many rudders of the old days. The rudder of the Götheborg of Sweden has a similar hole made after the rudder of 1738 found during the under water excavations. It works, we used the hole/balance point last year in dry dock. 🙂 Keep up the good work!
Fantastic work on that rudder Zeal! As a woodworker & having work with Purple Heart before, I know what a dense & hard to work wood it is. Great work on those rails as well Leo! As a supporter of this amazing project, I would urge anyone that has not donated to consider doing so. Thanks & Tally Ho! 👍👍
I don’t care what anyone thinks, but just saying the words, pintle and gudgeon is fun. I might be tempted to say them over and over again just for the sheer joy of it.
maybe you have not had the awe and sheer horror of watching orca hunt in very close proximity to your person, but i can assure you that they will fk with any-/everything out of boredom. but watching them hunt in less than 2m of water while standing less than 5m away on rocky coastline in NZ and watching them bite fiercely into solid rock while chasing rays onto the literal shore means purple heart is only a mild deterrant for these ocean cats who just want to snack and fk sht up
The craftsmanship displayed by all the crew continues to amaze me. I've rode along starting at episode 3. Wasn't too much to catch up then! It's way better than watching the news.
Not only is this going to be built to the highest standards, it's also going to be beautiful. Thanks Leo for a couple hardcore wood whittling episodes back to back. I thoroughly enjoyed the racing vid, and well done to all! So these last 2 have filled the wood chipping desire inside once again! 2024 baby! But, who knows, only 6 months left in the year, I think that's pushing it....and I'd like to see it play out a while longer, at least get us through one more winter. that's my prediction.
Thank you so much for sharing videos which are free of arrogance. We meet that a lot in UA-cam. Not speaking of your dedication and skills, dudes. Not the last harbor, but the journey makes the meaning... Cheers ;)
Not only are you all extraordinary craftsmen, I also love the quality of the videos you put out for us. Special note here for the great soundtrack selections, I love that kind of music. Also not sure, but do you actively synchronize the music beat with the tool sounds? Often feels like that for me and I like it a lot! :) Recognied myself in your episode on Project Management, it is a super fun but also very demanding task, make sure not to burn yourself out on that, can easily happen. Keep it up and stay healthy and happy!
That always blows me away. Leo's been doing that for quite a while now and it's such a subtle but cool effect. The fact that someone so busy with so much on his plate still finds time for such a small detail says so much about the quality of his work and his commitment to presentation.
I have an idea for your patreon. It would be fantastic to know all of the different sealants and paints that you have used over time and how perhaps you have evolved to used new and different products.
TOTAL respect to that chap taking an axe to a piece of wood that's worth more than my car

@@SampsonBoatCo Two more years, by any chance?
@@SampsonBoatCo Thank you. We feel invested in this journey, and I look forward to the day I get to see Tally Ho videos from the sea!

As with you I find all of Leo's crew are great tradesmen/woman. Finishes like fitting a piston eh.
Zeal is a low-key hero on this project. Well done, dude, this rudder is a work of art.
You really got lucky to hire on Zeal. He's a total boat-building UNIT. Very talented man.
It's in the name. Boat building zeal
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1 Unfortunately God is just a man made myth so there is only sorrow, not Godly!
Zeal is just what Tally Ho needed. What amazing craftsmanship!
Yes, He's good.
Outstanding !
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1 Nurse! He's out of his bed again!
Three weeks in a row!? Be still my heart! Can't spoil me like this.
😊
Without a doubt, Tallo Ho it's the finest UA-cam boat build! She is absolutely gorgeous with craftsmanship that is so far ahead of the others.
I love how positive the Duchess is all the time. She/he gets everyone’s spirits up after the first attempt to hanging the rudder.
The Duchess appears to keep everyone's spirits alive, specially when it's all hands to the task. Gotta love that in the workplace!
@@AW-pz3qc Yep! It's one thing to have a solid team, which is absolutely there, but you need someone like The Dutchess to elevate a team to pure brilliance.

Again, Just completely above expectations Leo and the Shipwrights ! You gentlemen just kill it 👍🏻
Perfect episode- not a single dull moment..what a talented crew, beautiful materials, and cool tools. The keels orange is the wildest- wettest shade my eyes have ever taken in. Its the color which Gulf Racing laid down on the team cars alongside a baby blue..fires up the imagination,
& contrasts big time with anything close
propultion via rudder is new meaning of Scullery Maid. well done Patrick.
I will never look at a wooden boat the same way again. So much skill to appreciate.

My favorite day of the week is the Tally Ho post. Superb work on the rudder and caprails. Great work guys.
Getting closer hell yeah this adventure has been entertaining and we all are thankful for inviting us on your journey
Beautiful work, Zeal - astounding, really - such a complicated 3D shape, such hard material, such precise fittings (cast, by the Tally Ho cast plus foundry friends, in pounded sand molds) - and the entire apparatus has to work hydrodynamically, not just aesthetically!

Something that shocked me a bit that hit me with this. When Arabella went into the water - so much of it disappeared. So much of Tally Ho's beautiful lines under water. What will be cool is someday are photos of her sails full, heeled against the wind exposing her beautiful curves. That would be a wallpaper money shot!
Yes, I thought that she’s floating too low. Chain plates under water!?
I would be shaking with nervous tension shaping that purple heart!
Amen to that!
Zeal's prowess with the adze was near astonishing!!! - thats gonna' be one awesome rudder.
2:19 Leo is not joking, it really is very difficult to shape when you have to get the right tweaks. We use this wood as a replacement for the core of old beams in some applications of restorations. Obviously this means it's basically cut with a saw for the most part, but whenever some personalized tweaks are required, unless you have sharp, sharp tools, you'll be struggling with it. Very dense, very stable. Awesome wood.

What a milestone, and such nice work from Zeal. Seeing such a nice win has brightened up my week, I have to tell you.
All that time spent working on so many things and still takes the time to sync the edit to the music, top notch!
Thank you so much for posting this Leo. It’s so cool to see the Tally Ho coming along and looking so well.
I love how the comments on the videos are always so positive. Great videos, great craftsmanship, great team and great followers.
As always, I thrilled when a new episode appears and dissapointed when its over! :-( Cant wait for the next one!
Right? I saw it was only 18 minutes and was like… that’s it!! 😂
@Leo, the hole in the rudder, used for lifting right at the balance point, seems to be overlooked. That's the historic way for many rudders of the old days. The rudder of the Götheborg of Sweden has a similar hole made after the rudder of 1738 found during the under water excavations. It works, we used the hole/balance point last year in dry dock. 🙂 Keep up the good work!
That cap rail is stunning. Teak is such a lovey wood. Pity it's so bloody expensive these days!
Oh, it's a CAP rail, I thought he was saying Cat rail, and wondered what cats had to do with it...
I can't believe he said he's going to take it all back off.
Hang that rudder in a museum; it is truly a work of art. Actually the whole boat for that matter.
Zeal is just a "get sh#t done" type of guy! Absolutely fearless given the importance what he is trying to achieve, so impressive.
Here's to wooden boats - With all the happiness on the Acorn to Arabella channel after last weekends launch let's hope she gets in the water asap.
Fantastic work on that rudder Zeal! As a woodworker & having work with Purple Heart before, I know what a dense & hard to work wood it is. Great work on those rails as well Leo! As a supporter of this amazing project, I would urge anyone that has not donated to consider doing so. Thanks & Tally Ho! 👍👍
I had to rewatch the whole “Cramond” section, because it was too good. I am glad that you are still enjoying this Leo, thanks
Much respect to the craftsmen working on Tally Ho,
It’s incredible to watch.
I don’t care what anyone thinks, but just saying the words, pintle and gudgeon is fun. I might be tempted to say them over and over again just for the sheer joy of it.
Fantastic craftsmanship again as usual. She is looking absolutely beautiful guys!
I had to notice the cool jazz vibe when Leo comes on cutting the rail. Of course he deserves it.
I don't imagine that an orca would fancy a heavy, dense purpleheart rudder much.
Was going to say something about orcas too.
Though an Orca down there would ensure that Patrick swings the rudder faster to propel the boat.
Not done watching yet but first thoughts! Nope, not losing that rudder as a play toy for Orcas! Everyone is thinking it! 😁
maybe you have not had the awe and sheer horror of watching orca hunt in very close proximity to your person, but i can assure you that they will fk with any-/everything out of boredom. but watching them hunt in less than 2m of water while standing less than 5m
away on rocky coastline in NZ and watching them bite fiercely into solid rock while chasing rays onto the literal shore means purple heart is only a mild deterrant for these
ocean cats
who just want to snack and fk sht up
snail bait.
Not only is Tally Ho a work of art, but the mixing of film and music are of no lesser quality. Hats off Leo!
Rudder is a piece of artwork. He really knows his stuff and has amazing skills!!!
The craftsmanship displayed by all the crew continues to amaze me.
I've rode along starting at episode 3. Wasn't too much to catch up then!
It's way better than watching the news.
That rudder build is an incredible job. That’s pro+ work! Congratulations
Not only is this going to be built to the highest standards, it's also going to be beautiful.
Thanks Leo for a couple hardcore wood whittling episodes back to back. I thoroughly enjoyed the racing vid, and well done to all! So these last 2 have filled the wood chipping desire inside once again!
2024 baby! But, who knows, only 6 months left in the year, I think that's pushing it....and I'd like to see it play out a while longer, at least get us through one more winter. that's my prediction.
I am amazed by the craftsmanship with every episode. Everyone does such great work. It truly looks like a labor of love.
Using an adze with such skill and finesse is a pleasure to behold. What a fantastic journey.
Awesome - he's taking cuts right up to the layout line.
Zeal looks to be pretty good with an adze!
If anyone ever doubted that you carve a boat, show them this video. Great job guys. She's looking better all the time.
You and your crew’s accuracy and attention to detail detail are sublime.
Thank you so much for sharing videos which are free of arrogance. We meet that a lot in UA-cam. Not speaking of your dedication and skills, dudes. Not the last harbor, but the journey makes the meaning... Cheers ;)
P.S. I really like the color of the blue masking tape mixed with pure white on Tally Ho :)
Not only are you all extraordinary craftsmen, I also love the quality of the videos you put out for us. Special note here for the great soundtrack selections, I love that kind of music. Also not sure, but do you actively synchronize the music beat with the tool sounds? Often feels like that for me and I like it a lot! :) Recognied myself in your episode on Project Management, it is a super fun but also very demanding task, make sure not to burn yourself out on that, can easily happen. Keep it up and stay healthy and happy!
He definitely does sync the music to the video! It's awesome.
That always blows me away. Leo's been doing that for quite a while now and it's such a subtle but cool effect. The fact that someone so busy with so much on his plate still finds time for such a small detail says so much about the quality of his work and his commitment to presentation.
I get so engrossed in these videos I actually caught myself blowing drill dust from the cap rail! 😂
Impressive fine work with the adze!
I can´t wait to see her under sails and in full gear. Tally Ho will be that kind of beauty, that put all other boats to shame.
Even more interesting than usual! Your rudder craftsman did a great job.
I just have to say I absolutely love how you time the clips so we’ll to music during the working montages. It’s so oddly satisfying.
I have an idea for your patreon. It would be fantastic to know all of the different sealants and paints that you have used over time and how perhaps you have evolved to used new and different products.
I second that. Product and reason chosen would be very interesting.
I admire the astonishingly confident and precise use of the adze.
Fantastic work as always, that Rudder is a real joy to see and the Capping Rail are looking good some epic rounding of work to do.
Every video I comment on a piece of woodwork that is a work of art. The rudder is no exception. This boat is exceptional.
