EPISODE 96
This episode is all about Caulking (or Corking, depending on your location). I start by visiting Port Townsend, which has an unusual number of very skilled and proficient Corkers. We briefly discuss the history of Caulking and we meet Brad from the Port Townsend Shipwright’s Co-op, who is putting together a crew to help us Caulk Tally Ho!
Brad and Paul (Shipwrights Co-op) Jordan Bard (Bard Boatworks) join us for a Saturday and demonstrate the amazing skill and rhythm of a highly practiced Corking crew, getting over a third of the boat Caulked up in one day. Huge thanks to these guys for getting involved and spending their free time helping us out!
After that it is down to Pete (another very highly skilled Corker) and me (a highly UNskilled Caulker) to finish the hull. Along the way we discuss the different traditional tools, methods and materials that are used for this fascinating and hypnotic process.

Years ago, we would look out the portholes on the steel boat we were working on and watch a group of shipwright apprentices in a line pounding caulking into an old wood barge, with the old journeyman, Eric, standing over them yelling that they were slow, and to hurry up. Us ship fitters always felt sorry for the poor kids. PS DONT fair the cotton with 5200, it really pisses off the next guy to caulk it.

Greetings from Sweden! I just bought myself a wooden boat! After dreaming about doing it for about five years and two years of watching this channel. The boat needs some work but seem to be in an overall pretty good condition. But I would probably never had gone ahead and bought it if not for the inspiration provided by this channel. And I am probably not the only one out there getting their first wooden boat after watching this channel. Sooo. I just wanted to let you know the beautiful work you do on Tally Ho is having a very real impact on your audience lifes. And is probably benefitting many wooden boats around the world. (As if you did not already know that ;) ) Thank you so - very - much!

I have a confession to make. When I was about 14 years old I was a sea scout, we had a 28 ft pacemaker wooden boat We were working on it and scraping the bottom I was pulling out huge pieces of that fibrous caulk. When they put the boat in the water, they were puzzled as to where the water was coming from

The Danish ship ‘Activ’ sank in the english Channel on the 1st of January 1983, taking 8 people with her. It was owned by ‘Tvind’ an organisation for alternative education. They had been caulking her themselves, but being hippies and not caulkers, they had done a very poor job. I’m surprised Leo doesn’t mention it, but caulking is not as simple as it looks, and if not done evenly, it can seriously warp the shape of the hull, creating gaps in the planking, which was what happened to Activ:(

I absolutely loved this video. I love how nice the "fairing" turned out on Tally-Ho, I love the traditional way that these boats get water tight. I really liked the music Leo picks out for each video, especially the traditional Irish jig. It fits the trade of shipwrights well. Also, all the close ups of Pancho and including Pancho in videos really makes her a part of bringing the spirit of Tally-Ho alive again. I know Leo jams a lot of work within the 25-30 minutes in each video. It looks fabulous Leo and crew. She is a real looker even now, just wait until she is in the water with the new paint. WOW! Cheers!

@grahamepigney8565 3 года назад

It is certainly "caulking" in UK English. "corking" is something very different and involves putting bungs in bottles/barrels, whatever. "The Devil to pay and no pitch hot" is a phrase from sailing ship times. The Devil is the iron that was used to force pitch onto/into the caulked deck seams. The phrase signifies that there were caulked seams to be sealed but there was no hot pitch available. In more recent parlance the phrase is used to indicate that something is missing that is needed to complete a job.

I'm a Chartered Marine Engineer and I learned a long time ago that before I employ a Marine Mechanic, ask to look in his/her tool box. If it's full of shiny perfect tools, he/she is not the person for the job. However if most of the tools are well used, have been modified or adapted and look like they've been Mac Gyvered to do a specific job, they're the person to employ. As my Engineering Professor said "Engineering is about Problem Solving until you find an elegant and perfect solution!"

Another function of caulking with fiber is to tighten the hull. Turn it into as close to a monocoque as possible. This helps to keep the hull from working underway. When finish caulking a small boat we would "ring the hull". That is bang on the hull with your fist and it "rings" instead of thuds. As I was taught the seam compound after the caulking is what really keeps the water out. Edit: I posted that before Leo explained the tightening of the hull.

@grahamepigney8565 3 года назад

The seam compound forced in on top of the caulking was pitch, hence the phrase "The devil to pay and no pitch hot". The hull would have been caulked and covered with copper plates. Th deck would have been caulked and sealed pitch (tar).

I helped my dad caulk a clinker built dingy 12' long using oakum/Plumber's hemp. Unfortunately after we wedged it in, we sealed it with Pitch which dad had "Borrowed' from the coal mines (NCB Scotland) Which sadly was a brittle mix for pouring into High tension plug ends in the coal mines. When we went out in our craft at Cockenzie (Firth of Forth Scotland) The pitch cracked and the water poured in. We just made it to shore sinking majestically, as Nigel Tranter walked past. Ohh the shame and Humanity, still burns deep some 60 some years later.

A couple of FAQs from this video - read before you comment! - Why no Oakum? If you listen carefully to Brad's explanation (5:00) he says that IF the seams are large enough / planks are thick enough, Oakum is often added after the cotton. In this case the seams are new and consistent and one line of cotton was sufficient. - What's up with the mallet? ...watch the video! I explain this in detail.

@kingrigidthedeplorable2720 3 года назад

Leo, Fantastic episode, and the explanation of the mallet was great. Being from the Tidewater of the Chesapeake Bay ( Potomac River) , I've heard the cotton referred to as "caukin" or "cawking" due likely to the survival of the Cornish dialect of our original colonists. My L's tend to turn into W's, and R's to W's. 😀In the end, this is probably similar to your "cORking". The only experience I've had with caulking a boat was when I was about ten. My father bought a 20' flat bottom skiff from a local builder that wouldn't "swell up" and took on too much water. It later became obvious that "she ain't never been "cAWked!". If I remember correctly, my father bought the cAWkin' and we used a claw hammer and putty knife to do the job. Irons and mallets not being household tools, we at least got the boat to stop leaking,....for the most part. Keep up the good work!

For puttying the seams I use a flat square heated platen made from an old electric frying pan to slightly soften the putty and provide a nice pallet to work from.

It's just stuffing stuff between stuff. - first explanations: This is its own trade!? Wha...why though? - seeing them work: Alright...there might be some dexterity involved... - seeing the different hammer grips and some of the intricacies of their technique: Alright...there might be a lot of dexterity involved... - listening to the explanations about all the different steps, types of fibres and irons and their uses: Fine! I get it! It's actually pretty cool, ok!? What can be really nice about things like these is that they are complicated in a sort of tangable, accessible way. A "watch and learn" type of thing.

This colloquial term for a native islander is derived from the huge ship and yacht building industry that existed in days gone by. If you’re not a “Caulkhead”, you might find yourself referred to either as an “Overner”, or a “Grockle”.

I use to soak rags with Bengay and wrap my elbows with them and papertowels and ducttape them on my arms. Got me through a few hulls that way.

interested to know if you developed any repetitive strain injuries, or is it ok if done properly.

The first time Pancho showed up on this video was full-on, big, and center. And rather unexpected, so I had a rather excited "Oho!" moment. This was about the coolest thing I have ever seen performed on a boat. Kudos to your crew, Leo, and you, and most certainly Pancho. Ciao from Texas.

So many parts of this episode to speak to. A job start to finish in one episode was a change up. The sounds of the the mallets to the tone taken up by the boat. Well done Leo sharing this sensory experience. And then the idea that the hull could now float. A wonderful milestone indeed. Cheers to all the crew and viewers.

@mschmidt62 3 года назад

I was just reading the other day (in Robert Steward's Boatbuilding Manual) how caulking is one of the parts of boatbuilding that you definitely want experienced help on. It was good to see you had plenty of expert help on that!

I mean, by the looks of it i'd say it's more elbow than wrist that they're using... same as with smithing.

The hammer took hundreds of years to develop I bet it has a few trick fixes. Mass is in the head length keeps arms back got a slot to spring it. The guys that did this for like ever have learned a few tricks along the way. Pete and the Townsend caulkers could tell you the right answer. Make it a question to them be interesting to know.

Hi All, I have heard a story of a caulking crew in San Francisco durning the war years, this crew were all African American and would sing to the beat of the caulking irons and create a beat all together with the iron tap. This audio I would dearly love to hear, if any of you can direct me to that audio I would be great full indeed.

@davidc6510 3 года назад

Leo & Pete what I really like about your channel is how well you explain key points of the boat building process and this episode is a perfect illustration. The lads that came out for a Saturday and caulked / corked / sealed about 1/3 of the seams of the boat were pretty amazing. Pete was spot on as well and Leo you did a great job as well. Awesome episode and thanks for sharing.
