Trial and error on the most expensive staircase I’ve ever made. 

I really enjoyed the “behind the scenes” part showing cutting out the hull for the front door. You all really went the extra mile for your great April fool joke this time!

I hope that Patrick and Neil are up for The Oscar next year. Their performances are superlative.

I'm beginning to look at Tally Ho as a floating piece of fine furniture. Such is the skill of all involved. Again...well done sir.

No one does sponsorship ads better than Leo and his crew. That staircase is beautiful!

I'm really confused - I thought you'd have put the main staircase near the front door?

Dutchess of Desire might be my new favourite series! ❤😂🎉😂

Leo is exceptionally modest in saying he's a 'boatbuilder and sailor' In fact he's a superb journeyman boatwright (craftsman) who's superior knowledge of boat building and the various systems that make up a boat are very special indeed. His hard work, organizational skills, and attention to details aren't seen very often these days. He's always thinking ahead which for me is a sign of a very smart person who appreciates the process (journey) as much as he appreciates the finished product. Very much enjoy watching him and his crew on their Tally Ho 'jouney'. As a sailor he's always trying to anticipate how the boat will respond to a massive number of unpredictable variables when sailing. If anyone is capable of sailing in rough seas he certainly has the skills required!

The step to riser joint is just insane even by TallyHo standards!

These little ad sketches are getting more hilarious with every episode!

As I am getting older and watching this masterpiece called Tally Ho come to live I notice a just smile all the time seeing these young guys performing a true craft!!

Two things came to my mind watching this video,one: that any music from John Deley and the 41 Players is a perfect match for all things Tally Ho and two: that Leo's carpentry skills are masterful.

I really know nothing about boats and, to boot, a poor swimmer. I watch these videos mostly for the craftsmanship. I've always been impressed by great carpentry. This RU-vid has that in spades². The affable charisma of Leo and the crew is an added plus. That boat is really a piece of classic art, with a modern twist. Instead of being displayed within a wooden frame or a display case, it will be displayed in front of the horizon.

In such a fine and elegant boat, it would only make sense to have such a beautifully paneled door in use up front to access the chain locker. As for the Surf Shark commercial, I'm dying here. Laughing until I'm tearing up. Awesome cast for sure.

Love the Monty Python-ish way you plug the products, makes it way more bearable to watch! Doing an awesome job on the boat as well!

When watching the craftsmanship going into this build, and the beautiful end results, I can't help thinking about the guys who built the original Tally Ho, who did it all without the use of power tools!

I have been watching this video series for quite some time now and I’ve seen several, (most), of the videos more than once. This is by far my favorite RU-vid channel. Leo started out to do one good thing, and everything after that has just been remarkable. From the quality of the shipwright/apprentice staff he has assembled over the years now, to the quality of humor in his commercials and April fools pranks, to the quality of the editing in the videos and the music accompanying the videos, (I am now a huge fan of wayward Jane, thank you very much), to the quality of his humility in actually including his minor flubs and mistakes in the videos when he certainly didn’t have to, it is very difficult not to watch these videos and nearly painful to wait two weeks for the next one. So many good things came out of one good thing. If you want to learn something, watch these videos. If you want to be entertained, watch these videos. If you just want to feel good, watch these videos. A massive, massive thank you, Leo, for all of the thought and care you put into everything you do.

The Dutchess of Desire gag was BRILLIANT!

It's great watching any of the team working. It's a bit of a treat to have one that features Leo, kinda nostalgic, harkening back to the many episodes of Leo working solo early on. Thanks all. The B B Sea productions are always good for a laugh. Take care.

Once again the quality of work and craftsmanship demonstrated in your videos is simply amazing to say the least. The joinery, fit and finish of every piece is well planned and executed at every stage of the build. All the things completed or being worked on during this video were done professionally and by extremely skilled craftsmanship. Well Done!

Honestly this could be a televison series! Used to love watching Woodrights Shop growing up!

The door will be used on the transom AKA the back door

I fast forward every content creator ad...except yours. I don't have need of a VPN but I'll gladly sit through these skits to hear Patty's tortured English accent.

Excellent class today! The complexity of stairs of any style are grossly underrated even when you make it look like anyone could do it! if I tried this, I'd have to start with 50% more board to compensate for my mistakes, that's what make my projects cost more - 😁 But I'm paying more attention to detail by asking myself "How would Leo attack this?" and I've been doing that a couple years now. Have to say, it works and that brings more confidence.

I know that horizontal steps were the standard for boats of this type, but one yacht I sailed for a few years had the step only horizontal on the middle third of the step. The outer thirds turn up about 25 degrees. This meant that when heeled over, the outer part of each step was significantly less heeled and less slippery than a standard horizontal step.

Im Not Sure Why Subject Myself to this Channel... Every couple weeks or so.... I used to think... I was a "Woodworker".... a "Perfectionist"... Simply.... Competent in a Wood Working Environment!!!! Im NOT even in The Ballpark of what these Young People are Doing!!!! Tough Pill to Swallow at 65.... and I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT VIDEO... X 1000..............................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RESPECT FOREVER!!!

I have a boat in the yard that I’ve been doing a complete refit on. Keep hoping to run into you. But , you keep the building shut up tight. Can’t blame you. People will talk your ear off. I knew Tally Ho and the previous owner well. She was a train wreck and it’s great to see her coming back to life. Have done the same with 3 sailboats.

so much woodworking skill gathered in one place, a joy to watch this boat progress. Can't wait for the update on Tallyho's spars!

I'm always reminded during these woodworking projects of the saying from somebody's novel, "His mind had already gone to this place several times before his hand touched anything" I assume before bludgeoning into teak you've been over and over the design from several angles. Nice work, at any rate.

I remember the old dudes whining about paying $4.99/bf for kiln dried Red Oak in the early 80s, lolol. If age didn't already kill them the price of lumber today would have. One day you may regret making fun of a Makita sponsorship ;) I love jigs and this episode was jig heaven. For being a wood boat it has a LOT of amazing aluminum welds.

A clean shop is a safe shop! Your shop is always very clean! DD

Hi Leo, I've been watching Tally Ho being restored for years now and as always I'm so impressed at the level of craftsmanship, each and every joint being lovingly created is a sculpture in itself and like most great woodwork I would find it very hard not feeling the textures of the fine workmanship all of you have invested into this fine vessel, The camera work and all the efforts you put into the creation of these videos are a great legacy to add to the story that is Tally Ho Also over the years just how the videos have improved are a testament of your skills as well I love how the stairs are turning out and yet again another fine example of the you possess and the love and attention you are putting into her, Thank you again for sharing this build with me and I wish you trouble free completion for the remainder of the restoration. Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺

love the april fools episodes. each one i watch without realizing it was april fools and slowly came to realize what was going on - the best way to experience them!

I love the fact that you have assembled a team of true craftsmen, some of whom (like Paddy) didn't even know what they were capable of. Well done on teaching the young colonial how to pronounce Aluminium properly 😂😂😂😂 (Paddy you are a proper star sir) I know that the videos will continue after the splash but I will definitely miss the madness and willingness of the lads to have fun and take the piss while still turning out amazing work.

I love the humor everyone working on Tally Ho has, and how all employees / volunteers are so skilled and reliable to the project. I believe the door is going on the head or the captain's room. The best to all, but send out more videos more often.

Really nice attention to detail on the stairs… and those aluminum tank brackets are works of art. Very nice welds 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Just making the jigs would make my head hurt. Amazing work! And love the SurfShark ad, literally LOL - well done!

I am surprised that the diesel tanks don't have a little flex in the mounts. Won't the tank be needlessly stressed when the wooden boat works?

So much fun watching the progress of Tally Who uh I mean Tally Ho. Those aluminum brackets look awesome and those stairs! Perfecto! Thanks for sharing.

It's nice to see that Leo has just as much of the master carpentry chops as the rest of the crew. The skill level of this crew is really insane!! Great steps, Leo!

I would recommend a plastic washer or a piece of rubber or something between the stainless steel bolts and the aluminium brackets. It helps prevent galvanic corrosion

Are those stainless steel bolts Patrick is using on the aluminium tanks? Have you considered or researched galvanic corrosion? You should check with some experts that the installation won't have issues from the use of stainless fasteners on bare aluminium. You should also make sure the tank is not in contact with any of the bronze hardware.

These sponsorship spots do not disappoint. The creative way you handle them are amazing.

Being a furniture woodworker myself I really admire the excellent skills of Leo and his crew. Though we ofc won't see the real blobs and outtakes, in the end the all turn out as masterpieces.

Can't beat a ridiculously strong joint!

I was howling with laughter when I watched the scene of you cutting in your “door” with a chain saw. Good stuff Leo! Dang, that was an awesome piece of teak you cut up for the stairs…. Worth a kings ransom.

Those stairs are something else - just gorgeous work Leo!

That was a gorgeous teak board. It's a real priviledge to be able to work with such beatiful timber, and you're doing it proud. Thanks to all for another fantastically entertaining and interesting video.

Love the BB SEA…that beautiful staircase is a work of art!

Amazing thinking back to episode 2...preparing the first site in Sequim. Times were simpler...hacking away with the humble chain saw! It's awesome to see how far you've come so far and I cannot wait to see her launch!

Just wonderful craft and humour . Even Patrick's Aluminium .

The best ad break yet. The boat is looking amazing too.

Lastly the music at the end as Leo puts the stairs together feels like Gospel Fitting as those stairs look like they belong in a sacred space.

I love watching every aspect of this build, but seeing the detail joinery holds a special place in my heart. Thank you for a great episode!

I have for my LTS exam. A wooden folding kitchen ladder. Have to make, without Machines. Everything with hand tools. And there was just a tenon and hole Machine in the classroom and the other Machines you really need to make something beautiful. We even had to screw in a screw by hand. No Machines Allowed. I had a 7.6 for my folding kitchen ladder. Greetings from Spakenburg, the Netherlands.

The health of your team is evident by the quality and quantity of their humor. Pleasure to view.

I cannot imagine the original incarnation of Tally Ho being any where close to the craftsmanship and excellence of this.

That's a very cool transition between step and side rail. And, very nice to see Leo doing some carpentry too! It's all looking very nice indeed, very nice :-)

Came for the advert segment, stayed for the boat building 🤣

An amazing amount of jigs were constructed in order to make those steps. Leo shows he is the master shipwright. Nice work Leo!

The attention to the smallest of details is as always fantastic and this yacht will have all of this to show off for many years to come. I loved the ditty that Patric and Neil did ... you lot have too much fun while working, keep up the fantastic work.

Great to see your crafsmanship being put to good use and back in front of the camera again Leo. As always showing great vission, planning, skill and patience.👍🍻

OMG at @13:55 the mood, the camera zooming in to build suspense. I was at the edge of my seat wondering if we were going to get another grain split-out. Leo fucking killing it with the video making, this is cinematic

It must have been really satisfying to get back on the tools; especially with such an intricate, important and visible project. Well done!

You guys went so far on the door, you got me, I was thinking, was this to access a dingy, and how the hell would they seal it, and ruin the integrity of the hull, tells you how much I know about boat building. The jigs for the steps were genius, they look like a work of art, how you guys figure out all of the different angles, is beyond me., love these videos Leo.

As a Javanese I so love seeing old grown teak

I completely was furious about that front door, and why you cut hole in that place 😭😭😆

It seems that the most complicated difficult and expensive parts of the process of this build are coming up now and it's humbling to see the tenacity and dedication of the builders at their craft.

some of the best quality wood working and working all around I've ever seen! please put some depth sensors on this beauty so it doesn't get wrecked running aground. excellent work guys!!! former navy veteran USA

Again, beautiful cabinetry on the stairs. They are a work of art!

Cant wait for the next episode of Dutchess of desire! Oh man, i haven't laughed that hard in a long time!

A master class on jig use. My wife and I make jigs for just about every project we build. If we know we will build it again we keep them.

Everything you do is excellent, this long retired Yankee boatbuilder is proud of you. Nice shop, BTW. As far as hand tools vs power tools, I apprenticed hand tools only, it was fun, but not feasible in this age. When I came out of retirement to work on the criminally damaged Columbus Fleet in Corpus Christi Texas it wasn't as a period character: no money, no direction, no fucks given by so-called management, so we used power tools as needed. Visitors would call us out for that, my retort was that "the spanish would have used them if they had them", and walk away in grump about the whole thing because they never would be repaired, rot and Carpenter Bees turned them into sawdust.

The joinery on the stairs is fantastic Leo, a work of art

The joinery on this boat would make most super-yachts jealous.

I love you're sponsored skits! A nice take on ad reads ❤. Glad the channel is getting sponsorship deals

Quality work ! This will be the best renovation/rebuild of a wooden boat - of its size - ever 😀

Your team has creative ideas and acting for the various spoofs and infomercials. A side career in advertising and artwork. A brief sampling of the detailed craftmanship in Tally Ho.

Leo sporting the iconic Casio F-91W watch. Cool dude.

Tally Ho, Arabella, Yaba, Magic Carpet II and Finn's Ferro Rig over there are my *big five* to watch, and I've been watching 'em all since their respective get-go's...and the first three on my list are ALL scratch-builds (well, except Finns and Magic Carpet, but still!) ...respect!

By far the most creative Surfshark ad I‘ve seen to date 😂 Y‘all should be in ad consulting after the boat finishes!

Leo, what a perfect job you did on that stairs. This shows craftmanship!

The April fools gag was great. You guys were the only channel I watch to have some fun with the day!

I feel the need for some overview shots/WIP tour of the boat ❤

The precision in those companion way steps is as beautiful as the result. Loved that Leo.

Looking back on it now, it seems like the move from Sequim to Port Townsend, as hard as that was to do at the time, was the best thing that could have happened for the overall success of your project.

Forget the settee cushions…with that wood burner and a water bucket, you’ve got a respectable Finnish Sauna.

I am constantly in awe of the quality of the joinery. As Leo shows us, it is the result of careful planning, and making jigs so that joints are tight and repeatable.

I fell for the front door bit so hard. Well done!

Another work of art, well done Leo and the rest of the team.

Lucky sponsor! No skipping with such fun and fresh way of promotion. Wonderful work with the stair and more.

I’ve been watching your videos faithfully I would like to add one note of possible interest. The city and/or couch that you have next to the woodstove. We had a number of old wooden boats as I grew older,, the back rest would possibly be on hinges that would swing up and chain to the ceiling of the cabin, making an extra berth, and also doubling as a back rest.

This series is a master class in: tireless leadership, drive and energy; passionate commitment to an ideal; and superior quality craftsmanship. It is a joy to behold Tally Ho being revitalized by the hands, hearts and minds of Leo and crew.

Been watching your channel from day one and I love the added levity and humor!

Leo. The fuel filters can be a minefield when long term use is considered. A few years ago I came across a UK firm who produce 'Fuel Guard' filters. The advantage in my situation ( I have a narrow boat) is that the filters have a full clear sight bowl, water drain off at the bottom and can be taken apart to clean the super fine filter mash. I have two, one on the engine line and one on the diesel heater line and they have proved to be a great investment. Great video. I am always amazed at the precision of all the work. Excellent.

Love watching your wood working Leo, Inspirational. Well done !!!

A massive, massive thank to YOU, for the highlight of every week. It is always a pleasure to watch your video.

You guys are hysterical! 🇨🇦

Pure wizardry on the router jigs.

Lovely work guys! The transition on the step is a winner. Overview video? Yes, please!

I hope nobody gets arrested over the English soap opera. There are eleven states right now working on legislation to ban or restrict drag shows. If the guys do go to jail for this, I'm ready to sign up for the protests. But if they don't work can I have some of your tools?
