Boatbuilding - Installing Galley and Chainplates 

I remember Patrick rocking not so long ago in his first episode and not really knowing the blunt end from the sharp end of the boat. The way he's become such a great personality and such a dedicated craftsman is just brilliant, a great example of someone applying themselves in a relatively short space of time to learn and master a huge range of skills. He's set for life. I think that's one of the really great things about this project.

Everyone is super talented but Zeal makes me shake my head in amazement.

Like 458 thousand 9 hundred and 99 other subscribers I am in awe of the craftsmanship the team constantly amaze us with but while they are all absolute geniuses and are creating a thing of untold beauty we should never forget that such a talented team could not produce the work they do with the obvious enjoyment they get from doing so without an outstanding hand on the tiller. Not enough credit is given to Leo's leaderships skills in assembling a team of this calibre and steering this project the way he does. All round a brilliant leader and master builder.

It has been fun watching Patrick who came as a potter volunteering, become a first-rate shipwright. I guess we shouldn't be surprised that a craftsperson in one realm would bring the same devotion to something new. A word to those who have not become patrons... we're seeing photos during the week that really add to the experience. Consider joining us in supporting this amazing project... which is clearly to best on offer on RU-vid. Thanks Leo for bringing us along!

One of the signs of a great leader is when his or her people are the stars of the show.

THIS BOAT IS A PIECE OF ART... BEAUTIFULL

Now you are making me nervous. The level of expertise with the chain plates,the cockpit assembly and well, everything is unearthly. I'm used to precision in metals but this is amazing.

Zeal the real deal! What a skilled fellow. Takes on all the high stakes, heavy graft, with good cheer and a song. Top bloke. Beautiful cabinetry from young Patrick, there too!

Patrick is not only a brilliant craftsman, but also he is very charming and a true comedian.

Paddy's panel gaps in the galley cabinetry spot on. Such mastery of his trade.

So if I have got it right, the hanging knees to which the chainplates were just attached were not riveted home way back in EP82, unlike all the other knees, and this was in anticipation of their future attachment to the chainplates two years later. That is amazing forward planning Leo.

Can’t wait to see the cups and bowls Patrick makes for the boat, I’m sure his potter self can’t resist:)

Leo you are so fortunate to have such talented people devoted to the project. Patrick is a true artist and did such beautiful wood work. Zeal is a magician with that drill and beyond clever in finding solutions to problems. What a crew!

Not to undermine the quality of your craftsmanship in other areas, which is also astounding, but every time one of you guys makes a long hole and it goes out where it should be I'm just in awe.

It's funny how some things just don't change. A recurring theme when you're reading historical novels or actual accounts of sailing ships is the extreme danger posed by something very heavy, usually a cannon, coming unsecured and drifting across the deck, smashing anything in it's path, including the side of the ship. The extreme danger posed by these incidents is still reflected today in the continuing use of the phrase "loose cannon". Sailing ships, even the big men of war, could recover from pretty extreme mishaps, even being laid over on their beam ends (meaning the decks are now vertical and the masts are parallel with the water)...as long as something heavy, like a cannon weighing several tons, didn't break the heavy ropes that secured it in place and fall across the deck and clean through the opposite side of the ship. While Tally Ho doesn't have to worry about her twenty-four pounders coming adrift, a hundred-and-twenty pound sink will do just fine if given half a chance, almost a century and a half after the muzzle-loading cannon and naval gun carriage was retired from most navies. It's just that "loose sink" just doesn't have the same ring to it...

"Zeal is doing something very difficult but crucial to get precisely right" doesn't create the same kind of suspense it might otherwise because we all know how much of a rock star he is at that kind of thing...

That stainless steel trim really sums up the quality of this whole project. The team could have just gone the easy, cheap and fast route of buying some 2$ corner brackets for the stove/oven lining. Instead, Patrick probably spent 3 hours measuring the trim, thinking of a design, making a rig, sanding, polishing, drilling, countersinking and installing these works of art, which will never be actively seen. Top notch work! P.S: This is my first comment on any video on this channel, but I have been following Tally Ho's journey since the beginning. I see a lot of people commenting on how Patrick has progressed in his skills, which is undoubtably true. Not only has he become an amazing craftsman, but his accomplishment in the SEVENTY48 video really made an impression on me. His description of what that achievement feels like, makes me want to train for something similar. Leo has progressed so much in the last years too though! When going back to the older videos, there is a drastic improvement in quality. These videos are now color graded, cut in a very distinct and balanced style, high quality and cinematographically beautiful. That is incredibly difficult in this documentary-type format, since you can never be everywhere. Even with three (I think, Leo, Patty and Nick are doing most of the filming?) camera operators, the look and feel stays consistent. On top of that, the project management side of things must be extremely complex. Good job guys, I'm looking forward to every new episode!

If that was me with the drill… you would have a video on how to plug holes. Really skilled and talented people.

Everyone is doing a great job but i don’t think Zeal gets enough credit because he’s doing most of the really stressful stuff that you get one shot to do and you can’t mess up. And he’s knocking it out of the park! I love watching him work and seeing some of the tricks he has. He is a true craftsman!

I recently crewed on a boat in Charleston S.C. I live in the Northeast U.S. After several hours I discovered that the skipper and I both watch this channel. You guys truly have friends and followers in ever port. Great work: positivity, craftsmanship and friendship.

He's like a sniper with that drill.

Very beautiful work. I have one suggestion for you in the galley which may lead to happiness later. Faucets even if completely drip free will always be wet because your hands are wet as you open and close the valves. So the wood sitting underneath the faucet will almost always be wet. I suppose the easiest thing to do is just thoroughly epoxy coat it before you apply whatever your final finish is. A really cool touch I've seen is to put a thin pedestal of marble under the brass faucet at least to give you a place for the water to potentially evaporate before soaking into wood.

It's crazy how little the boat looks in the pictures compared to how huge it seems while you're down inside it.

I’m a welder myself so I’m well used to seeing top end engineering..but I have say that what’s gone into the boat has taken my breath away over the years, absolutely amazing craftsmanship has been on display here every week and I can’t thank you all enough for sharing it with us all..breathtaking guys and girls, just breathtaking 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😘

I see a lot of ribbons and placards awarded to Tally Ho at boat shows in her future. Simply magnificent.

This channel is such fantastic entertainment. First Zeal drills the straightest, most accurate holes possible in such a crazy situation, and then Patrick expresses his love for the supply chain. Zeal, would you come over to Pt Angeles to drill some holes for me sometime?

At 16:50 we hear the _most_ important comment of this entire video series. There is no escaping the intrinsic physics of the situation. The wind will push on the sails, which will move the boat only because that push is directly transferred into the structure of the boat. This puts enormous stress on the integrity of the boat, trying to tear it apart rather than move it, except that Leo, and his Marine Architects, and his mentors with their ancient traditional knowledge, _know_ how to make this power-transfer happen in a way that moves the boat while not damaging it in the least way.

Amazing how Zeal hit that line through all those inches of wood to within a few mm. My hat's off to you, sir! That counter top just sliding in with a few loving taps of the mallet was also great, but with that one a mistake would not be catastrophic. An awesome project with an awesome team.

This is my favourite channel on RU-vid. The talent and skill are matched by the humour and engaging personalities. What a treat to watch her take shape.

Hoping you can find a project manager for Sampson Boat Co to continue featuring the talented shiprights of Port Townsend on more classic yachts, and start a new channel for the adventures sailing Tally-Ho.

The drill jigs at 1:56 is magic. zeal rocks.

Leo , you must be a magnet for mastercraftsmen , with all the joking and playing around they manage to produce some of the finest cabinetry , wood & metal working i've ever seen . Hats off to the crew !

The craftsmanship is always amazing, but the ability of you and your crew to drill those long holes and come out EXACTLY on target never fails to completely blow my mind. I genuinely don't know how you do it. I'd watch a video on just that.

Thinking back to those far off days when The Duchess first joined the team. Then, the front of the boat was the front, the back was the back and the kitchen was the kitchen. Now he has all these fancy ideas about the kitchen being the galley. He’s getting ideas above his Nav Station!

The thing with any design for a galley or a kitchen is, no matter what you try to consider, you will unavoidably only learn after using it for a while what you wanted to do different. Special challenge for a galley, how to make the best use of the existing (or lacking) space and how to best use all those hollow spaces in a useful and convenient way.

Man, how did Zeal get those holes so on point? How did the measurements get done to support that? Would be amazing to see the work that went into that.

When Patrick was imaging using the galley I was right there with him in that future moment. Had a lump in my throat. What an amazing adventure you’re all having and many more to come.

Another great video. There are probably a dozen other ways the galley could have been built that would be good enough. Glad to see that Patrick doesn't settle for "good enough". The craftsmanship that the whole team exhibits is inspiring. How Zeal was able to get those bolts to line up was simply mind-boggling.

Best boat renovation show in the world!

Great work, Patrick. Remember when you sauntered up in the early days. Your skill is envious. Best.

The tall, narrow-depth space between the front panel and the refrigerator/freezer is perfect for cookie sheets (biscuit pans to you). Don’tcha think? It all looks very professionally laid out and constructed.

Paddy, that galley is brilliant, you are a true craftsman behind all the jokes and frivolity, well done mate that is brilliant.

"mocking up all the parts where the stuff's going to go" brilliant!

⛵⛵⛵⛵ Everyone should be learned, and you guys help wit dat; just today you taught me a new word: "frezzoration". Thanks guys. ⛵⛵⛵⛵

Perfect timing! Just caught up with the last few months worth of videos and she's looking fantastic, This series is some of the best content available!

Great work guys!! And no, Patrick, you did not come across as salty. I met you briefly last year at the Wooden Boat show and between that meeting and these videos, I can tell you have a big heart. Keep up the awesome work everyone!

Well done Patrick.

Just F’n RAD!!! The Build the Vessel and THE PEOPLE!🤘🏼❤️

Greetings from Port San Luis, CA! I was just up in Port Townsend..went to the boatyard & found the Tally Ho..the garage door was open! Wow! There she blows! Saw Patrick & gave him the peace sign..he waved back with that big smile of his! The whole yard was busy & laid back at the same time. Fun times!

I am in awe of the craftmanship and quality of work that the whole team produce. The humour that they exude whilst doing this shows what a great environment you have created. This is going to be an amazing boat.

Yippii! Just two years to go!

Without actually seeing it being done, it would be IMPOSSIBLE to imagine the incredible set of professional skills, constant foresight, rigorous craftsmanship, enduring patience, personal energy, nautical design expertise, and very-rare, hard-work-ethic, needed to accomplish the endlessly varying tasks, complex fitting, materials procurement and processing, and just-plain daily goal-accomplishment necessary to build a boat such as this. I have continuously questioned the wisdom of undertaking this project as a "restoration", rather than starting from scratch. However it is very clear by this point that nobody can argue with the incredible constant quality and beauty of the final result. I cannot yet even begin to imagine the image of Tally Ho under full sail yet, but I have no doubt she will be glorious to behold, and a great privilege to experience. Every person who has contributed to this project in any way, and ESPECIALLY the crafts people actually building it, should be extremely proud of this accomplishment! The finally-finished vessel, along with the incredibly detailed history of her building, will go down in history as a precious, one-off record, that will rarely, if ever, be accomplished again. You are all indeed making history that will be admired for decades, and possibly centuries, should our civilizations survive so long. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

I hope everyone can appreciate how talented Leo’s crew is. It’s amazing.

Can't belive it'll be ready in just two years.

Zeal is a magician, an absolute magician!

Leo I’ve really enjoyed watching the process from the beginning to date. The skillful people that’s been working on the boat is great to see them at work. Keep up the great work and can’t wait to see it sailing some day. God Bless.

The standard of internal joinery is amazing. Those gaps around door apertures are something else

If you guys aren't careful your going to finish the boat. Excellent work by the crew. A real work of art

Patrick is the Man, INCREDIBLE 🎉

Patrick did a fabulous job on the galley 😀

Zeal takes pride in his work and it shows! Beautiful!

Dang!! You guys are 100% craftsmen! You make hard things look easy! You have a God given talent!

the chain plates are amazing. and the kitchen is beautiful! I think you need MORE fridge/freezer store .....somewhere.

Leo and crew, you will LOVE that induction cooktop, I promise. They are awesome!!!

I love that this isn't just a journey of a boat but also a journey of people, keep it up!

My suggestion for the galley is ignore all the comments and do what YOU want. It's your boat.

Outstanding craftsmanship on all counts . Brilliant

A fine way to take the boredom out of my day. Great post, , , ALL OF YOU. All the talent here is always so happy and I would bet they are there early getting there and go home late. That situation Leo is one that is all on you. Unhappy crew sink ships eh.

The care and attention to detail from you guys never ceases to impress, you truly are all members of the definitive "A" team, So much skill always on show makes this such a pleasure to watch, thank you !

I’ve been watching since day one. Blown away by the quality of the work and materials a true work of art

@Leo - Do your realise that your team have set the Gold Standard for woodworking on RU-vid boatbuilding channels. I have just seen Gemma from 'Ship Happens', as she proudly finished notching a support beam, she said, tonque-in-cheek, "Do you think Leo would let me work on Tally-Ho now?"

it's amazing the shear number of holes that are drilled in a hull that you spent so SO long making water tight.

Well, I was going to finish cleaning the house, but it can wait for another 30 minutes. You have quite a talented and entertaining team, there. Always enjoyable to watch.

Every time a new video comes out, I smile a little wider while watching the progress. I suspect my face will have split horizontally by the time Tally Ho launches but I wouldn't have missed a minute of it :P

Hello Leo, You all are doing a fantastic job. If anyone doesn't like the way you plan your pantry, they're free to build their own ship and do as they see fit. There is never just one possible solution in life, but what you have built up with your colleagues is something unique - and that should be appreciated without comment. Greetings from Germany and I regret that I will unfortunately never see the Tally Ho live. I wish you and the crew always good winds and a hand's breadth of water under the keel.

BEAUTIFUL WORK PATTY! 🫶🫶🫶

I love the fun and positive vibe in the group as much as I love seeing how things are made and progress. I could almost regret the moment the build is done and Tally Ho sails.

good work Zeal, those are never coming off, it's awesome to see something done properly like that. even the explanation of what you're doing does not do justice to just how complex and difficult such a task is.

What an unadulterated pleasure to watch master craftsman.

Zeal singin a bit of Head and The Heart, lost in my mind - great track!

I love how they are not just amazing craftsmen, but fun to be around.

You asked Patrick how much the sink weighs and he told you exactly how much it weighed on his twine and beam 2:1 lever system. The man is a super genius that can't be bothered with your tricky absolutist questions.

“I think we nailed it” as he leaves him hangin’!! Omg LOL 😂

The screw slots on all the pulls in the galley should all face the same way. Beautiful installation. I find it hard to believe it was originally build as nice as this crew is building this boat.

A lot of fantastic design and craftsmanship in this video! Interesting that Patrick is letting on that he may become a crewmember when Tally Ho is finished?

Saint Patrick's Day on the channel! Love to see it!

I just got introduced to this project, and I am blown away! It's great to know there are such talented (and young!!) people left in the world.

I work in aerospace and F1 and have drilled thousands of holes. That accuracy through that thickness of material is unbelievable! Normally we would have drill Jigs developed at huge cost and involving lasers! Great skill! Alternatively you could develope a system that has a concentric cup on the drill bit. That way you will keep straight in 3 dimensions by gauging the distance in real time referenced to the outer skin. Fantastic work. I will keep following you. AL.

I've cooked in a few galleys on modern boats and the galley is always one of the first things i look at on a boat, this one looks fantastic, excellent use of the available space, the thin cupboard looks like an ideal place for cutting boards and a knife rack, the quality of the cabinetry wouldn't look out of place in a million pound house! excellent work Patrick!

As always: Such beautiful handiwork! Every single installation is a piece of art in itself.

You guys are amazing and the craftmanship outstanding. Love watching your videos and I've been with you since the beginning and people who haven't seen the rebirth of Tally Ho need to go back to the beginning and see what a miracle you guys have achieved. Can hardly wait for the launch. God's speed.

Leo, you're right that Galleys are something everyone has an opinion about. I'm of the opinion that a fully stocked galley is much better than an empty one. :P

I would love a video of just old photos of the boat. I think that would be very interesting.

All of the work done here showed spectacular craftsmanship and a very talented group of boat builders!

I have lost track of the length of time I have been watching these great videos. COVID shutdown was easier on me with the escape the Tally Ho restoration afforded me. Many thnx, Leo & Co. of craftsmen and positive-minded people!

Peerless craftsmanship by your team!

Man every video it seems the levfel of detail and craftmanship just increases. like literally every piece is art.

Thank you for another awesome video. I literally sit on the edge of my seat and try not to miss anything. I cannot put into words the skill and talent and personality of you and your crew. That's why I watch. I've been watching for years now and I never miss an episode. Beautiful work y'all! Patty

Zeal, your work is incredible!!!

Spot on with the music, as well as the awesome engineering and craftsmanship, these videos are the absolute highlight of my You Tube viewing!
