Crazy boatbuilding Joinery / New Tanks! 

I'm sorry if I missed it, but is updog a boat building term? What's updog?

Clifton's work on those sills is amazing and of a standard rarely seen these days, he's one great craftsman.

"The sills were harder than they looked" They looked insanely difficult to me. The results are just fantastic.

Leo, I'm a retired welder and I have to tell you, those water tanks are a work of art. The quality that went into creating and fabricating them for you was done with amazing precision and professionalism. It fits with the wonderful quality that you and your friends have been doing to make this boat such a beautiful classic yacht.

I’ve been watching your channel since the very start of Tally Ho and I really wanted to say the dedication and the attention to the finest of details is beyond impeccable. It’s an absolute joy to watch you and your amazing team pour your souls into such an awe inspiring project. Thank you for allowing us all to follow along with your adventures in making sure Tally Ho gets back in the water. To all of the team members past and present thank you for putting up with being on camera and sharing your knowledge. The friendships formed through Tally Ho will last a lifetime, im sure. Leo thank you for your passion in making sure to honour the original plans and Tally Ho’s soul. 🤗🇬🇧

As a carpenter with 15 years of experience, watching Leo start this @29:25 blind hole and ending up here @29:45 on a project with so many years in.. It makes me pucker every time, and I can't imagine how it makes him feel. Props.

These videos are always top tier, but there's something about this one that made it extra good. Idk if it's Clifton's sills, Leo's bulwark-receiver-thing, the new tanks, or just the general satisfaction of seeing several components started and finished, but this one was a banger. Felt like two videos' worth of content. Great work to the team!

Well I wanted to go to bed, but I guess 40 minutes later and an extra beer won't matter

Kudos to Kamikoto for sponsoring Tally Ho, while leaving Leo & crew some artistic leeway for their creativity! 👍👍

I am a mechanical engineer and like any mechanical engineer we think we can do almost anything without major problems. But when I look at how you work and what skills you need to do your job, I am left speechless. I am seriously impressed ..

Clifton's work is nothing short of inspirational. Absolutely gorgeous!

There will never be a better knife commercial made my day ,keep it up

20:52 love it when Leo ties the music perfectly into the rhythm of the tool work sounds 👌shows how he gives as much attention to detail in the craftsmanship of his videos as he does on the craftsmanship of his boat

A while back Leo said he wasn't even sure if he would finish Tally Ho, but look at all this amazing work. It's really stayed with me; the future is unknown, but the best way to spend the present is to do our very best to leave something of lasting value and beauty behind ... more power to your elbows Team!!

Leo, I can't believe what you and your crew/ community have accomplished with Tally Ho from a almost forgotten hulk to this masterpiece. I know it's far from finished but WOW. What a journey so far. Thanks to all of you. I have enjoyed every minute of it.

That fact that you can get and keep such a talented and fun crew is a testament to your leadership and personality. If you were not such great person this project could never have been pulled off. Respect!!

I am reminded in the 80s I had a crew of 6 guys that worked for 2 yr on a porject at Mystic Seaport. We had the best of times working together just like you guys. This is how work should be done. So much fun and to boot we accomplished alot. Thanks guys for reminding me of that time. RC

Incredible work Clifton.Skilled Craftsman.

Tally Ho is attracting some real craftsmen all through its restoration. We’re very lucky to be watching. 👍

Clifton & Leo competing to see who can add the most lightness to large lumps of expensive timber 🙂 Always great fun to see this large timber work being done by people with the skill to do it.

Those sills might just be my favorite part of Tally Ho. I know if I was living on that boat I'd appreciate them every time I walked past, they truly are masterfully crafted.

This is one of my favorite episodes. Such solid work all around. So satisfying to see Clifton work when he does the fitting.

I seriously hope one day I need a circular saw that big. I love when it makes an appearance!

Congrats Leo on getting the video posted! Saw your Facebook post about the power outage and copyright strike. Glad you made it, after as hard as you work, that must have been so frustrating. Leaky tanks and now this, I'm so impressed by your dedication and resilience. Cheers!

Kn love it lads, fist thing I have seen of you guys, however from one shipwright from "Straya" to another cannot tell you how monumental a project you have and truly how complicated it is. Rise to the occasion and bring your humour to the job every day. I have no doubt it will be magnificent.

I don’t always watch ‘content creator advertisements’ but when I do, I watch yours with all the intrigue & sophistication that you & your crew bring to the product being showcased! Everything you all do is top shelf..even if it’s sometimes low brow! But here’s to your sponsors & the help that they bring! Love you all, Leo & crew!

I'll just say three things this week. Love Master Craftsman Clifton's work, what a fun episode with lots of laughter and joy, and thanks Kamikoto for supporting the project. Mike 🇦🇺

Amazing work as usual. Cliftons craftsmanship on the sills is beautiful, a real work of art. And I loved the film clips around the yard and on the beach. Very atmospheric. Leo, you are not only a great boatbuilder, but also a great filmmaker! Thanks.

I hope from bottom of my heart that after 100 years, someone as talented as Leo and his team will restore Tally Ho once again to it's full glory. They will have amazing material on their hands on how Tally Ho was restored last time (If someone will archive this channel in a way that they can still watch these videos). After every episode I'm somehow more and more in awe on craftsmanship and how uncompromisingly every small detail is done on this ship. Leo has been able to gather amazing talented team around him. And to addition the production quality of each episode surpasses most of big budget tv productions. Hats off to you all!!

Astonishing work here. Such craftsmanship I thought was well lost in a bygone era. You should all be congratulated on such a magnificent job. The entire undertaking leaves me gobsmacked. The videos and the music are always wonderful. Lastly, KAMIKO Knive should be over the moon with your commercial. Overall, this weeks video was a real blast.

Leo, some trivia. That big block at the fwd end of the bulwark is pretty close to the layout on sailing trawlers. They (specifically the Brixham sloops, but later mules and Lowestoft smacks) had a big roller next to the stem, flush with the rail, over which ran kind of relief line to the trawl. The idea was that if the trawl fouled, the main warp would come loose, and this relief line would take up and swing the smack into the wind. We used it for anchoring though, and for that it was perfect!

Don't know your background, but you are amazing storyteller, director and editor. Not mentioning carpenter skills you all have. Hate hanging microphone cable (sound is my profession :) Have enjoyed your stories for some time now. Started from the beginning. Amazing dedication. Doesn't even matter if you gonna sail with Tally-Ho, legend has already born! Thank you very much!

Leo, your absolute CRAFTSMANSHIP is a complete JOY to watch! And your choices of such different musics is just great.

LEO and crew are building a Steinway that floats. Mad skills

Hi Leo don’t normally comment on RU-vid videos but your RU-vid channel kept me sane whilst recovering from a virus not Covid related two things that impressed me most about the project is yours and your volunteers level of skill and craftsmanship is amazing and to be admired and secondly is that she was first built about a mile from my house in Shoreham, would be great if when sailing in the UK you bring her home as Sussex YC is in the same location as the shipyard where she was built, looking forward to the next video many thanks

Finally, this completes my weekend 🙏 As always, amazing work Leo and the team!

Wow! When Clifton is working hard it puts whole new meaning to ‘When the chips are down’! Good to see you guys having a some fun with knife ad😂

Clifton has done an amazing job on those sills, they look great.

There are certainly not many boatyards in the world offering the quality of woodwork to be seen here like the sills. Simply excellent.

I love seeing the old pipe threader back in action!

Clifton's work on those sills is truly awesome. Respect!!

Clifton deserves an A+++ for his extremely fine work, and Leo, here is the same to you for creating such an enjoyable and upbeat video, and for doing some excellent wood butchering. Drilling three perfect holes speaks for itself sir. Tally HO!

sills are utterly gorgeous, as is the entire deck.

The number of skills that Leo has mastered to pull this off hurts my brain. Master woodworker, solo bluewater passage-maker, navigator, draftsman, CAD designer, naval architect (this is not an exaggeration; you need to understand the structure and purpose and engineering of everything on the boat), materials science expert, purchasing agent, machinist, manager, project planner, foreman, video editor, cameraman, financial manager, producer/director...and don't underestimate the talent to be a likable on-camera presenter. It's crazy.

I doubt there is a boatyard anywhere in the world with a more skilled group of craftsman than you have working on this project. Amazing to watch those random pieces of tree turned into something so beautiful.

Oh man, those sills took my breath away. just the skill and artistry.... didn't even get to the end before I just had to comment... yay... another 13 mins of ship building still to enjoy and to see how your "curvy bits" come out Leo (LOL!)... thank you!

Clifton did an amazing job on those sills... they look so perfect for the tally ho.

When you called the Coast Guard, did you say "Hi, my name is Leo and I am a boat builder and a sailor..."

Can't express how much I'm appreciated for sharing this amazing journey. While being in Ukraine, is such a huge relief to kick back and relax, watching this outstanding series. This is one of my brightest moments - to join the team in this amazing build. Sorry for dropping the Patreon subscription - switched it towards Ukrainian army. Will get back when we win :)

Pinot Blanc, 5 string banjo by Wayward Jane and exceptional craftsmanship by the Tally Ho crew at every turn. What a wonderful juxtaposition and a way to spend time on a Sunday afternoon. Well done!

A hearty standing ovation for you and the crew, Tally Ho is truly a visual masterpiece.

Of the various sounds in this one, the sound of the sharp rabbet plane cutting the end-grain purpleheart is my absolute favorite.

I've never seen the crew so happy and full of banter as this video showed. Looks like you've all really come together as a team, its nice to see!

I have really enjoyed watching Leo and his merry men doing a beautiful job, and bringing their craft to all of us. All the traditional crafts may pass us by, if we don't document them, and hand down those skills to all of our future generations.

All the work you do is beautiful, I think back of those days when you were pulling roten pieces of timber off that old structure called a boat, I could never imagine how painstaking, precise and technical it would become, as a retired tradesman congratulate you all. BTW I love all the tools and machinery you have.

Leo, THIS video is one of the best you have produced in the whole time that you have been doing them. From the absolutely hillarious ad for the Knife company with all participants getting in on the act to Clifton's absolutely beautiful joinery work on the comings and your fabrication of the purple heart block for the prow. All first class elements that shows your talents as a "Ring leader". You surely have come full circle as a master boat builder. The Tally Ho will be a wonderful cruiser and I hope that you get old and grey on this beautiful boat. As Clifton said, "the next guy to do the restoration on the Tally Ho will be dealing with all of the elements (a hundred years from now?) that he and you have installed on the Tally Ho". Hard to think about that in this stage of the game as it has not even been in the water yet. It is so rewarding to see this vessle come to fruition. Being in San Diego and not dealing with the raw weather of the North West it is hard to imagine working in the winter months but as an Englishman, you are quite accostomed to the weather changes. You really have put the resurgance and newfound interest in the wooden boat craft. Look at all the new viewers that have got bitten by the bug and all those old wooden boats out there may be saved and restored due to your sharing your love of boat building. God speed and God bless you and the crew in this wonderful tale. I certainly don't want it to ever end ! ! !

Seeing 5 years ago your first episode I knew it was going to be a huge task to complete Tally Ho. I hope I will see this ship in the future in real life. Here in The Netherlands we have some events with sailing ships and hope you and your crew will come to one of these events. Wow.

The joiner work by Clifton was incredible. And Leo that chain block was built with so many cuts, planning, sawing you could have been building a figurine, fantastic episode.

What a marvellous episode. Clifton’s sills will indeed last the next hundred years and the watertanks are piece of art.

Nothing short of fantastic work, hats off from a fellow shipbuilder in Canada

I'm about to start a little carpentry job in my back yard overlooking Bristol Docks, I'll be imagining Tally Ho moving through every time I look up. I'll also be using Leo's working ethic to guide my efforts and I will be sure to saw to the beat. Warmest and Best Leo.

Great job by Clifton, those are some spectacular pieces of joinery!

Amazing work on the sills! Yeah, Clifton!

Terrific woodworking Leo & Crew! I have worked with Purple Heart many times and really love that wood. Good seeing you guys enjoying yourselves and having some fun. Looking forward to the next video. Be well and stay safe! Tally Ho........ 👍👍

Well this episode was a throwback to year one. When the skilled craftsmanship was eclipsed by the filmmaker. Leo is a polymath. Rarer than pink diamonds.. 💪

Bravo, Clifton! Fantastic work! The sills are beautiful.

Your videos are always an absolute pleasure to watch. I feel this boat will be the pride of wherever she finds herself as her homeport. Nice Leo, cheers..

Came for the diesel, stayed for the water! #tanks :) Great work again from the whole crew. Hate advertisments, but you did this one right! Watched it, had fun, checked the website.

Leo's Bulwark Termination Piece (BTP)! Great work. Plus: excellent music, as always.

I've been watching from the beginning, and I still get blown away twice a month. Clifton, you are one BMF, outstanding work as usual.

Delighted to have met you Clifton, by happen stance, when you were on a break. Thanks for the chat. You are amazing Clifton. Regards from Victoria BC.

Top notch carpentry. It’s beautiful

Clifton is an absolute master. His work is just beautiful. That was a brave Leo drilling those holes to such a critical target.

Saved my Sunday 😊

Leo I have subscribed and hit the like symbol from the start and sent you $100 during your first year. I know that’s not much but I wanted to help keep you going in hopes more people wised up and recognized what a fantastic undertaking you are taking on. I grew up with a wood boat and I applaud how you are helping pass on the knowledge and skills of building wooden boats. It’s a noble craft as old as civilized man. I wish you good health and fair winds, Jim Stewart - Houston Texas

Great to see a new episode, and the progress on Tally Ho!

Spectacular full-length video, guys ... packed with superb craftsmanship. This will be the mark of the beginning of Patrick's acting career too, I think. Look to see him in various commercials as well. ;) What a fantastic crew it is, indeed!

As my three year old granddaughter says,"oh my golly gosh!" Aren't they the sweetest looking tanks ever!?! I was worried I had missed this week's episode. Have a great week or two!

This may have been your best video. Everyone was happy even the commercial was happy and fun. You guys are a team

What a Master Wood Worker Clifton is! Love to watch him work... Love to watch your videos, Leo

Really enjoyed seeing the bronze bolt threading machine again!!!

The yacht is gorgeous, and the woodwork exquisite.

This is the ONLY AD I've every watched through on RU-vid. Great humor! You deserve a real cool fridge for this.

A most satisfying video. Clifton's work is perfection. Well done Leo and team.

Lovely ! I just saw him routing those teak pieces and I could still smell it from here (AUS) thanks to the many pieces I used to machine on our o/h routers back in the '70's !

Some things in life are just a joy to behold. The consistent perfection shown here is simply stunning.

I just discovered my two favorite youtube ads in one video. First the Kamikoto knives then the Carhart ad at 22:25. Tyson's jacket has definitely weathered some storms.

Great call putting the end posts on the bulwark termination piece. That piece is surely the design work of someone who had some experience and did some thinking.

Thank you once again for sharing with this community this massive undertaking you are doing. Thank you to all the people who are involved in this project.

The craftsmanship is amazing.

I just absolutely love these episodes with the really funky woodwork. Even with all the efficient tools of today it's like magic to me.

Thanks Leo. You and everyone working on the boat are providing the BEST content on youtube. You all have provided me with years of pleasure. Again Thanks!

It's been so wonderful to watch this old lady coming back to life under the astute and competent leadership which Leo provides. Congratulations to both him and his dedicated and skilled team of paid and volunteer craftspersons. I just love watching these episodes and look forward to eacn and every one of them.

My weekend would not be complete without a video. I can only look on with admiration as to the workmanship going into this boat.

Been watching this terrific series since the beginning. Superb skill and filming. You reach new highs with every episode.

Always great to see that there are still people with the skills to do this kind of stuff........................

The detail and craftsmanship that's going into this build are absolutely amazing. I've watched every video from the very beginning and thought Leo was completely crazy ,Leo and his amazing craftsmen have accomplished something very special that will bring amazement from many generations . Very well done and I can't wait until I can see tally ho sailing under full sail as Leo travels around the world. That will be one of those days that I will remember for the rest of my life.

👍👏👌 It's absolutely always a holiday/feast for me when a new Sampson boat Co. Tally Ho video is posted! This time even more because the team had so much fun together. I simply love to see and hear people laughing. Additionally laughing is good for health and soul. Best regards luck and health to all involved people.

beautiful work as always from the entire team, that boat is a thing of art already!

I love the quick shot of Leo staring at the piece, hands on hips, deep in thought. My wife has often caught me doing the same thing and simply can’t understand it. Sometimes, woodworking just requires a moment of deep thought to work it out a small issue in your head! Love it!
