@@garyfairbrother5532 This gave me an idea; engrave the following message on the threshold, but upside down: “If you can read this…why are you reading this? You have bigger problems!”
You guys do realize that when Tally-Ho finally gets wet, Leo is going to administer a test on all these terms right? 1. In 50 words or less, what is a Cockpit combing cap rail? lol 2.
@@garyfairbrother5532 That leads to a great idea! Take a piece of trim from down by the floor, and engrave on it "If you can read this, the boat has capsized" upside down, of course. And it would be a "Capsize indicator". Remember me when you make your first million on that!
Oh come *ON*! "The bobstay fitting". I don't believe you anymore, you make this stuff up as you go along. "This goes aft of the furglegland to ensure that the woosnum ratchet aligns properly with the hoofle nut.". :D lovely to see Tally Ho heading for the great outdoors.
I love the little bits that show that a boat like Tally Ho is not just decorative nor even a human habitation, but first and foremost a system designed to safely and efficiently transport humans over an environment that is very hostile to human life, in a tradition that goes back many thousands of years.
And beyond, yeah? Leo and crew will bring many years of great content, I’m quite sure. I do hope Leo will continue his outstanding educational bent and teach us all about the rig, the vast controls, and how to go fast. And I truly hope some of the unused footage can be used to create “deep-dives” on various topics (which has not been practical at the juncture).
Erica has the hardest job now. squeezing her hands and arms into tiny cable runs, all while keeping track of what wire goes where and how....what a spiderweb.
Don’t know how anyone else feels but I’m almost embarrassed at just how exited I am about the The Tally-Ho leaving the shed and out into the world then the sea where she’s meant to be ! Goose bumps I tell You
What I am really looking forward to when the boat is "done" is a detailed photo-series of all the amazing woodwork in this boat. Would make a great coffee table book That skylight alone deserves its own series!
He visto el Tally Ho como un "sacó de huesos" y verlo como está ahora me llena de admiración y os felicito por el gran trabajo que vais realizando y con ganas de verlo flotando en el agua. Mis respetos.
It’s so great to watch pat in action. He’s truly an artist and, while his humor is on the dry side, he’s a solid guy to have working on your talented crew!
So good to see Pancho once more in among all the progress. I have donated to Raul and Darlene's GoFundMe and Tally Ho. You have given me so much viewing pleasure it is the least I can do. Well done and thanks for all your time and effort. I am sure we only hear about a fraction of it. Cheers.
Leo: I have been watching the rebuild from the beginning. It is a logistic nightmare. Some day you may write a book just on the spread sheet that you put together. People can learn much on how you were able to do this. Much credit must be given to you to manage and your team to work on many faceted items at the same time. Much credit such a complex project.
This is the most impressive wood working project I have ever seen. I used to work in a cabinet shop and we would do casework occasionally. Laying out and building curved walls for reception desks has a certain simplicity after seeing everything that goes into building a ship. I used to think I was a fairly talented wood worker but over the years of watching the team build Tally Ho I definitely have my doubts. Amazing job guys, if I was a richer man I would donate but I hope my "like and subscribe" will suffice.
You just have to look at the patterning they're doing. It helps a lot on a boat, but a doctor or a hair dresser isn't going to pay for it, mostly. But it's true that fitting 8 compound bevels, some of them curved, gets fussy and even more time consuming.
I've been watching this project from the very beginning and it's exciting to think that this journey has been so well preserved by your videos. It is so precious that many years in the future one can revisit this fantastic display of craftmanship.
Always impressed how every little detail gets proper attention. Every part is functional and beautiful. Looking forward to seeing her out in the open air. Thanks for sharing!
All the people working on Tally Ho are such vibes, would love to buy everyone a beer after a hard days work but i'm on the other side of the world so i don't think that will happen any time soon.
withou a doubt one of, if not THE, best and miost engaging project-series on RU-vid. Everything done with great skill, patience, thought and attention to detail .Maybe you will go on to even greater things Leo, but I find it hard to imagine anything will surpass the satisfaction you get from this. And I remember in the early days you working alone in the rain. Its both a masterpiece and a testament to one man's dream, determination and commitment.
This is what cracks me up! After near superhuman efforts to make the hull 100 percent watertight . Comes the day holes are drilled here there and everywhere..
Hard time of year to be moving outside. Good luck. And here I just figured you’d haul buckets of diesel down the stairs and pour it directly into the tanks…fancy fancy!
Many years ago, I worked as a joiner and I worked with a caulker ("Don't call yourself a caulker, You just know something about it."), to see the work you do is such a joy. I can only describe it by a down east expression: "purtty werk".
Some beautiful finishing touches in the hatch-glass, gybe buffer and stem band. That Tally Ho is about to move out of the shed is both an amazing milestone but also means she is closer to ending our weekly fix of boat building. What the hell are we going to do without that fix?? Great work guys.
Fun fact, the name "threshold" comes from the days if dirt floors. After the harvest people would put thresh, the stalks from the grain harvest, on their floors. Think of it as old-timey carpet. They would put a board at the door to hold the thresh in. Thus "threshold."
That's folk etymology, there's no evidence for that. Thresh also isn't "the stalks from grain", thresh is a verb for the process of beating and sifting grain. So you could say it's called the threshold because it's where you hold someone and give them a thrashing when they owe you rent, and it wouldn't be any less true.
This doesn’t make sense because thresh isn’t a thing it’s what you do with the stalks to get the grain out you thresh them (a cognate of “thrash” - as in give someone a thrashing). The verb is likely part of the root of threshold, the second part is likely not related tot eh modern word “hold” but its origins are a bit of a mystery. Some suggest a relation to the old Norse þreskjoldr.
That’s not a fact, in fact totally incorrect. “There is a specious bit of internet lore floating about that badly misstates the origin of threshold. I haven’t seen it circulating lately, but it being the internet such things never die. It claims that “thresh” was placed on the bare floor and a block of wood, the threshold, would hold the thresh in when the door was opened. Presumably, whoever invented this explanation misunderstood the action of threshing wheat and assumed that thresh was straw. It’s a reasonable off-the-cuff guess if one does not know etymology or the meaning of thresh, but it is just plain wrong.” 2022 Threshold is a word that English inherited from Proto-Germanic with cognates in German, Icelandic, Swedish, and Danish. The compound comes from two roots. The thresh- comes from a verb meaning to tread or step. The -hold comes from a Germanic suffix that designates a tool or instrument. So, a threshold is a thing that is stepped upon, that is the bottom sill of a doorway or entrance to a building.
Must be an exciting time for all of you who have done so much to bring this vessel to this point. I hope she meets her element with grace and with a smile. -Curt Kuhns 😊
Wow..Tally Ho in the open air where she will be staying for the rest of her live. I’m looking forwerd for the nex week. A total change of scenery. Good luck from Holland.
I have been watching from the beginning awesome I wish I could visit you however I’m retired and living on a tight budget thanks for sharing your experience with me
Dear funrunfunrun. Exactly the same here. I would even have loved to help when Tally Ho was in Sequim. But having no money and the big pond etc. unfortunately hindered me. Best regards, luck and health in particular.
@@bobsch-gd6ze Indeed it was gloriously sunny today on the North Olympic Peninsula. Went for a walk with my dad on the new Dungeness dike in Sequim, not all that far from where Tally Ho's hull was restored.
I have the same though over and over again watching your craftsmanship, so I decided to share it with other modelers out there who I am sure will feel the same. I keep thinking that the tolerances you work to are that of model airplane making. but it is a huge wooden boat!! Everywhere one looks on that boat, the joinery, the fittings, EVERYTHING is to 0.01mm. absolutley incredible. fantastic. amazing. and this is finally one deserved subject of the very overused adjective,
At the old yard, just feet away from his home, he was always in motion, moving around, trying to drive the forklift, tasting all the different wood types, here at the new place she seems overwhelmed.
As many others, I have watched Leo and his team(s) of workers refit Tally Ho into an incredible modern but old world yacht. Many interesting problems with equally interesting solutions. Leo has also inspired others to tackle boat projects that otherwise may not ever have been considered. So I began a small boat refit project on my 50 year old Wayfarer which is completely intact and very sailable as is. The refit would update hardware, fix appearance issues and revarnish the bright work. All I needed was a boat shed and the time. The time-line became my biggest problem. I was figuring two seasons where Leo always humorously said “another two years”. Project creep, weather and some tricky problems destroys any time-line. While holding to the desired good outcome the end is still two seasons away. However, I don’t know which two seasons. I wish I had Leo here to help me puzzle things out. Leo has the ability to run the Tally Ho project to its completion which now I believe may be within the next two years. Great job Leo you are at the threshold!
Almost half a million subscribers and 6 years later. When I started watching you in 2019 I thought you wouldn’t get the kind of support you have had. A true inspiration.
Thers just something special about having Pancho in these videos. What a beautiful bird. From the beginning i wonder shes aware if the progress . Thanks for editing her in.
Some time ago Leo said the launching, when it finally happened, would be just the start of the new life of TallyHo, with lots of world-wide adventures ahead. I suspect they'll try to make the Fastnet as one of their first goals if they get it launched and seaworthy in time.
Just to think, every old boat at one time had this level of love and skill poured into them. Honest hard work and down right amazing skill, with a real love of what they do. No wonder the world was a better place then. Thanks ladies and gents, you warm my heart with every screw and sanding stroke! May you all always have fair winds and a flat sea!
What an exciting mile stone! The fit, finish and aesthetics are gorgeous. When it's all said and done and she is out sailing I'm going to miss the construction videos. It will be hard to find another channel with the same quality and caliber as Sampson Boat Co. You and your whole team are not just top rate craftsman but artists.
Leo I have no idea where you find these guys but the level of craftsmanship that is shown by each and every one of them is astonishing to say the least. This boat is going to be an absolute masterpiece of perfection!
As always, terrific work continues on Tally Ho by Leo & his amazing crew! Hard to believe that she is coming out into the light of day and having the mast installed! Really good seeing Pancho enjoying the scenery and hanging out. 👍👍🦜🦜
It's always great to see Pancho the Technicolor Superchicken! Great episode as always; the craftsmanship remains just as jaw-dropping as in the beginning of the channel. Maybe moreso.
I haven't watched the rebuild from Day One, but I was only about a half-dozen episodes behind. I have just now realized that I am jealous of anyone who will be on her once she is under way.
There are weeks when I think she’s going to be a really beautiful boat; and there are weeks where I’m just left awed by how completely stunning she’s turning out to be! 😍
I’ve been watching since year one, even read your folkboat article before this channel came out (like a cork on the waves really captured my imagination). Land locked saps like me would watched this content long after launching to see all the travel this beauty goes on.
Watching these videos week after week and year after years is a mediation in perfect execution. Many thank Leo for your contributions to make life more wonderful...
I would recommend adding some type of structure over the cockpit for shade in a style and hardwood structure that fits with the boat. Acorn to Arabella added a plywood roof over their cockpit after two weeks on the water due to exposure to the sun. It was not considered in the retrofit because the era the original boat sailed in did not have the ozone degradation we have today.
I’ve watched Leo from the start and I’m amazed at the journey. Each person involved from the beginning have contributed so much. Even the parrot. Can’t wait to see it sail. Well done all.
I've watched this series now for 5 years. I can remember when a lot of this was Leo working solo with a lot of creativity. Still special to think how this boat has progressed and grown alongside my life. When I first started watching I had just entered state school and now I'm a professional with an MFA degree. Keep carving on Tallo Ho!
