I love you for caring about sustainability. The people unloading the shipping container had an amazing set of skills that must be quite rare in the world. How wonderful that Finn thought outside the box about resizing the kiln. It's quite amazing that the different businesses around there thought more about community than about their own narrow interests. Clearly they care about what they do. How did you put all those resources together? Also, after watching the extension being built, can I just say again that Finn is a god among men. He seems so matter of fact about things that are actually extraordinary. I hope in his life people understand his value and he is as well off as he cares to be.
A freshly framed boat hull is such a beautiful thing. What a great team & congratulations! Seeing Leo’s smile while sailing shows why he has the passion to finish a massive project like this
You prolly dont give a shit but does someone know of a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the login password. I love any tricks you can offer me.
"Hi, I'm Leo and I'm boat build and a sailor" ... I think it's time you add filmmaker to that list! You've given us hours and hours of a reliability well made documentary here. Thank you!
Super heavy and at the same time very precise. Thinking about the thousands of years of shipbuilding in the past. Ancient is not in anyway primitive. It is a privilege to get to see this process.
Finn is such an inspiring young man, he is incredibly modest with what seems to be an amazing skill set, I'm going straight to his CZcams page and I'm signing up. All the other volunteers (to many to mention) have been an absolute god send and I can't put into words how encouraging it is to see. Absolutely incredible. But none of this would be possible if it wasn't for Leo, what an adventure, what a journey, what a man. We must not forget Cheka, they say behind every great man is a greater woman and Cheka is proof, when sill she be back, not soon enough in my opinion. To all at Tally Ho, bravo.
Hello posters: There are many posts of comments and this video just came out. There are also many questions, a high proportion really. The point here is that literally all the questions have been answered in the earlier videos, I could not find a single original question that was not already answered in detail by observing all of the earlier videos, and I have watched them all, and the answers are there. There is so much content that they bare observing several times each to get the full content and to see the logic of the sequence as progress goes. Except perhaps for how exactly how one goes about lofting, there is enough detail there to construct the project completely. Leo is a very rare person and we are lucky to get to see how true talent works and creates. So, watch them all several times and you will see more each time. That's my $.02
The scale and articulation of this carpentry blow my mind. I am a carpenter in New York, and I am swamped with work. Mentally it is a big help to see this building project. My problems seem dwarfed and somehow easier to mentally handle. Cheers
@pete. No kidding. One sawmill I worked did 6X6 timbers 20 foot in length. I watch these guys and know they know the tricks to moving that stuff. WTG guys. Thought what I leaned in my 20s would going be forgotten. Turns out that knowledge has helped in nearly every job I’ve had.
In addition to all the required boat-related skills, you have to be both a skilled craftsman and a good teacher to accomplish your goal with this boat. The positive responses of your volunteers indicate that you've succeeded on both sides of that equation. Not everyone who's good a doing a job is also good at teaching others to do it, so congratulations on helping to get a whole new group of boatbuilders off to a good start.
Staggered by the amount of timber that goes into one of those boats. Little wonder that they can last 100 years. With the joinery it's a piece of art. Fantastic that you have the skills, the patience and drive to undertake this project. Lesser men would have either given up or started cutting corners long ago. You're inspiring. Hang in there Leo!!
It is great to see businesses offering their assistance to your endeavours. I am sure that so many people around the world are following this rebuild with so much interest and wishing they could be part of it. Regards from an enthralled watcher in Australia.
Leo, you've reached a significant milestone with the completion of the frames. You are not just a boat builder, sailor and video maker. You're also a project manager and completing the frames is a testament to those project management skills you've acquired. I'm looking forward to the next stage of the rebuild.
Just imagine the timbers involved when building the much bigger warships of old. Those guys would have been doing this with no electricity; all processes done by hand tools. But, you feel the essence of the build through these vids. Would have been a methodical process with a hierarchy of men, probably on some sort of production line of well oiled craftsman, maybe many hundreds, from the guys cleaning up, to the generals keeping an eye on their much needed addition to their navy. I would imagine the architect of these craft would be paid a pretty penny. Fantastic stuff.
I’ve followed you since almost the beginning, and I’m hugely impressed. I love your attention to the detail of the craftwork, your deep understanding of the reasons why things are the way they are, and your combination of passion and good humour. There are all sorts of things that make this channel so watchable: the camerawork, - even when you were working solo; the music - it was no surprise to discover that you started out as a musician; and the parrot - who illustrates not only your sense of humour and how important it is to have an off-the-wall thread running throughout the series, but also the way you keep giving a voice to all the other people who are working with you. I’m retired now and engaged in my own restoration project of a house in France. I’m enjoying working mostly solo after a lifetime working in the people business. I mention this because I am enormously impressed by your management of the team. You have charisma, practical ability, considerable knowledge, (as well as the ability to learn new skills in project management) and a great way with your volunteers, which is a remarkable and inspiring combination of virtues. My feeling is that when you have finished this project, in a couple of years time, you might think of going back to the UK. The ship of state is in pretty bad shape at the moment, and once the Brexit drama is finished, you could start on another, slightly longer, project. :) Joking apart, what is certain is that your abilities will make a big difference to whatever you choose to do next in your life. “Bon courage!”, as they say in this part of the world.
Stay positive Leo! The world/humanity isn't nearly as bad as the news makes it out to be. You have created a place in the world, and online, that people can come to and learn. Even if that was all you accomplished, you succeeded in life. ✌
How many times have you seen someone stumble while walking especially Down the high street and people rush over to see if they're ok. News mostly reports the big bad things happening.
I've been watching since almost the beginning (and went back to the first one to catch up) and here, in 2024, my mind is still trying to wrap itself around the sheer amount of fiddly little hand work that has gone into all of the woodwork of this ship.
It's always great to see how communities so often help each other. Everything from unloading wood, passing on tools at a fair price to see them used, to donations to local charities.
On the lovely Nadine- I previously noted it was probably a very good omen that the new food lady was sporting tattoos a half avocado and pineapple (kids these days!). But she also pitches in to load the timber kiln and paint on end sealer? Nadine's a keeper.
I've been enjoying your channel since I read an old article about the project in Wooden Boat magazine a few months ago, but the fact that you went to the trouble to source your timber responsibly gave me the nudge I needed to donate - that showed real heart. I hope one day I can build/own a classic wooden boat like Tally Ho, but in the meantime I'm glad I can live vicariously through your videos!
Congratulations on completing the framing of Tally Ho! There is a reason why the volunteers working on the project are all such amazing and hardworking people. Like attracts like...
Wow, one of the most impressive videos yet, that's a ton of work packed into two weeks. I'm impressed that the Surinam mill stickered all the lumber in the container, and my god what a load! Happy to see everyone's femoral arteries survived, especially chainsaw-at-hip-level-while -wearing-shorts guy. (-:
oh Leo---what an episode ! I loved how every guy there was trying to get a hand on that last frame going in ! as said in other comments WHAT A MILESTONE EVENT ! and what an effort unloading the new wood-the physical labor was amazing--a young mans job for sure.
Floors must be coming up shortly. What's the plan there? Will they be bronze? The answer to that will give us a clue about how healthy your budget is!! Oh, and opening a bandsaw blade. I reckon the safest way is to find a wide open space and just throw it. That's what I do.
Got the notification whilst up a ladder installing CCTV! Clean up, cold beer and i’ll be watching ! Edit! Just finished watching, one of the best episodes yet! Well worth the wait! The teamwork at the timber unloading was a incredible, the “power” of a well motivated team is a real lesson in what’s achievable! I’ll re watch a few times, as usual, then look forward to the next episode!
This boat reminds me of a fine piece of furniture you see in the Louvre. It's a beautiful thing to see the teamwork it's taken to get this far good luck on the rest of the build.
OFA.... A thing of complete beauty. Congratulations on finishing the framing. I have enjoyed every moment of watching this all come together. A big thanks to all of you who have made this so entertaining.
Such a milestone, all frames in and planking in the kiln. I'm sure you and the team are so incredibly happy. I shed a few tears myself. Bravo everyone... ^_^
What an incredible crew you molded together, Leo! Fantastic people, which all became part of TALLY HO! I am in awe at the achievement! You are the master!
Fantastic video. What an amazing accomplishment. Your entire crew is to be commended for all of their hard work and their craftsmanship. Amazing. Inspiring.
Amazing, amazing, amazing! You said it in the video but when the world is in such a dark place this project helps to restore my faith in humanity. The skill, hard work and friendship on display is heartwarming. Thankyou for all the work you do, not just on the boat but in filming it and on social media so that your thousands of followers around the world can feel part of the party. You deserve everything you get, you are a total inspiration. I even noticed that Jimmy Diresta commented on Instagram this week. There can be no bigger sign that you are doing something pretty impressive!
I am glad to see you reach such a critical milestone!! I am continually impressed with your knowledge and ingenuity in this project. When I first saw your video and plan for Tally Ho, I thought it might be a bigger project than you were prepared for... how wrong I was. I am eagerly awaiting to see it under sail. Keep up the great work and superb film making (your hard work will provide a wealth of knowledge and inspiration for many generations to come!)
The video record of the TALLY HO build project is a pure educational experience and "Time Capsule" material for future generations! Thanks to all involved. JP, a sailor from Boston.
$ ! Thanks for sharing the budget part of planking. More on that please! It's fun to get a grab of the economics of building a boat! Amazing work, I hope supporters make it possible for Tally Ho to come back to life in decent time.
Feels like the end of an era. The good news is that there will be a new era starting shortly. The planking timber looks amazing. I think we will be getting to know a lot of people through these vids. Keep on keeping on.
Impressive progress, everyone! It's amazing to see Tally Ho with all new frames, keel, and all of the other bits and pieces of this epic rebuild. I look forward to seeing Tally Ho get out on the water again, and I'm sure she'll be around for another hundred years or more.
Thank you so much Leo, all I can say is "Mesmerizing"! This project is so huge I cannot grasp all you have to do, and kudo's to all of the volunteers and especially Finn, these special individuals are few and far in between.
WOW!!!! Quite the accomplishment. Well Done! After seeing what you went through, it would seem that you are in good stead, standing shoulder to shoulder with the original men who painstakingly fashioned by hand each piece to perfection. In other words you stand in rare company....
Looking at these woodworking skills I see on display in this video. I can say that it's quite refreshing to see young men with these kinds of skills. Respect....
You need to sail to Suriname and visit the mill when Tally Ho is finished. That would be a neet trip . Visit all the places that parts are from and then visit and sail with the grandson of the designer who you featured in an earlier video.
🛶⛵️⚓️🎬 Educational , inspiring , entertaining , and obviously the vessel Tally Ho will be a very rewarding worthwhile and accomplished project of yachting history when the ship goes to sea . Even as the vessel is being created , the teamwork and the forgotten history and skills of craftsmanship will be a testament to the shipwrights . The various comments are also very interesting , and well worded , giving various descriptions and interesting opinions . One comment that I can recall was that Leo is crazy to have taken on such a mammoth project . My personal view was that in reflecting the past film and stories , LEO has in fact spent many months or even years and lots of time and untold work in pulling apart an old ship or yacht named Tally Ho . He then goes on to rebuild the same boat in new timber . It was obviously important to get the correct lines and measurements but it would have been much easier just , to start building a new boat . Mind you I did find it fascinating LEO put in all that effort and work into breaking up concrete , taking out bolts and breaking up the previous timber frames and removing the various pieces of old timber that built up a boat that was more than 100 years old . It has got me to thinking that each of the frames and all of the timber that went into building the second TallyHo , in this next few decades could be easily reproduced by building a plastic copy of a timber framed boat .. 3-D printing of the various timber’s , the keel , the frames , the stringers , deck beams and bulkheads and all of the knees will one-day be a fantastic accomplishment in future traditional reproduction boat building . Built from modern day recycled plastics . Yes it will be the continued contribution of plastics in to the worlds oceans and the environment as it will surely be something that may unfortunately happen to any vessel upon the sea . To be dashed upon the rocks .
Congratulations to all involved on the completion of Tally Ho's new framing. Great work! If you get a chance, Leo, please give us a little primer on the green to kiln dried spectrum of timber usage. Still don't have a good understanding of what degree of wetness/dryness is preferred for what application. Thanks.
I always look forward to seeing the videos. You and the volunteers are doing a fantastic job of rebuilding Tally Ho. I wish there was a lot more effort around the world to preserve the knowledge and skills involved in building these vessels. Technology is great but these efforts actually speak to people's souls and are good for us.
Just a few words. I'm retired and unable to contribute to your Endeavor but I hope watching all your videos gets you a little back in youtube funds. I think that saving this old little ship is wonderful. I think I've see her before in an issue of Wooden Boat magazine. They showed her hoping someone would invest the time and effort to save her. Seeing how she a complete frame up rebuild that would have to be a special person. It seems you are that person and I'm glad you found each other. Thank you for sharing your adventure together here for all of us to see. I'll look forward to her launch and first sail so all there is to say is Tally Ho .....
It’s fun to go back and rewatch these old episodes to fully appreciate how incredibly far they’ve come.
I totally agree. Watched from the release of the first video all the way through but I do enjoy dipping into past ones. It’s been quite a journey!
Finn, he is a really great fellow a credit to have working on the boat.
Looking back to this episode in late 2023 (I watched it when it was released), it’s an incredible accomplishment . Well done Leo!
I love you for caring about sustainability. The people unloading the shipping container had an amazing set of skills that must be quite rare in the world. How wonderful that Finn thought outside the box about resizing the kiln. It's quite amazing that the different businesses around there thought more about community than about their own narrow interests. Clearly they care about what they do. How did you put all those resources together?
Also, after watching the extension being built, can I just say again that Finn is a god among men. He seems so matter of fact about things that are actually extraordinary. I hope in his life people understand his value and he is as well off as he cares to be.
An exceptional team for this final framing. Special mention to Finn who sees problems as just questions that need an answer.
Well done to Leo, Cesca and the volunteers, it's been a great series so far, it's a shame mainstream TV can't produce content like this.
A freshly framed boat hull is such a beautiful thing. What a great team & congratulations! Seeing Leo’s smile while sailing shows why he has the passion to finish a massive project like this
I just love Finn. A great guy, and a great inspiration.
the workmanship of the team never ceases to amaze me.
I get the feeling that Finn and Leo are kindred spirits and lifelong friends after this adventure.
Finn seems like a really cool dude to hang out with
Finn started his own project knott finished yet
@@dougcarroll9623 yea. Now there is another boat project episodes to longenly be waiting for, to be uploaded to youtube. Finn is a top bloke too.
You prolly dont give a shit but does someone know of a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I love any tricks you can offer me.

"Hi, I'm Leo and I'm boat build and a sailor" ... I think it's time you add filmmaker to that list! You've given us hours and hours of a reliability well made documentary here. Thank you!
I was just thinking that... and its been great to watch, every minute.
Filmmaker... or CZcams God....I'm thinking the second from all the hours of enjoyment he has given us
Indeed.
👍
Double👍👍
Bunch of legends. Glad Finn is building a boat too. He’s a machine
Way to go team. Congrats on the major milestone. She is coming alone very nice. Thanks to all who support this and this man's dreams.
Super heavy and at the same time very precise. Thinking about the thousands of years of shipbuilding in the past. Ancient is not in anyway primitive. It is a privilege to get to see this process.
So long she waited, but it's obvious now that Leo was born for this task. Absolutely amazing work, truly inspirational.
Finn is such an inspiring young man, he is incredibly modest with what seems to be an amazing skill set, I'm going straight to his CZcams page and I'm signing up.

Hello posters: There are many posts of comments and this video just came out. There are also many questions, a high proportion really.

Correct! Upvoted.
BUT, it's important that people comment nonetheless - helps the algorithm 'understand' that Leo is a relevant creator.
Ok I'm late to the party but hot damn those guys at Edensaw know how to move timber. Bloody legends.
That Finn sure is a fast worker. Worth his weight in live oak.
Super sawyer, with nerves of Stihl.
@@SailaSobriquet - Every time he goes to the pub, a crew of internet randos will be there asking, "When's the next video?"

No pressure Finn ;)

The scale and articulation of this carpentry blow my mind. I am a carpenter in New York, and I am swamped with work. Mentally it is a big help to see this building project. My problems seem dwarfed and somehow easier to mentally handle. Cheers
Handling that timber looked to be a nightmare, great skill and experience by the operators and teamwork by all. Inspirational.
Seriously those guys knocked it outta the ballpark handling that stuff.
@@silasmarner7586 yeah that's no easy feat for sure.

22:13 SHUT UP JANICE. I'm dead 😂
Janice was not long for this world.
Yep, still the best show on CZcams
Hats off to the volunteers for their blood, sweat, and laughs.
Built so well, and with so much better materials and care I believe Talley Ho will last much longer than the original construction by far !
Staggered by the amount of timber that goes into one of those boats. Little wonder that they can last 100 years. With the joinery it's a piece of art. Fantastic that you have the skills, the patience and drive to undertake this project. Lesser men would have either given up or started cutting corners long ago. You're inspiring. Hang in there Leo!!

The carpentry/engineering is jaw dropping and the classical guitar music is wonderful.
I think that Finn is the best thing that happened to this project as a worker and a side kick to Leo.

I couldn't believe the amount of timber when the container was opened. Cool idea making an extension to the kiln. All the frames are in woohoo.
@@anonymic79 I can't wait for the bulwarks & decking.
@@anonymic79 It is the structure or "railing" around the perimeter of a ship. The heighth is not as high as your waistline.

Truckie knew he was going on camera. Wore a special shirt. Excellent!
Such an Inspiring and graceful view down the center of that hull with those new frames.
Congrats on a massive milestone! Genius thinking on the Kiln Finn....literally “out of the box” thinking!
It makes my heart smile to see those lovely new frames and know they were crafted by great people. Cheers, Leo! She is looking very nice, indeed!

Fantastic! Can't wait to see her sliding through the water!!!
Congrat Leo on getting all the framing done. That is a huge milestone. You always put together a good crew. Thay all rock. 🍺here's to you all.

Congratulations on finishing the framing.
I have enjoyed every moment of watching this all come together.
A big thanks to all of you who have made this so entertaining.
Nice one Leo and crew, she is looking spendid and the colour of that new timber is fantastic, looking forward to seeing her dressed in her new skin.
YOu guys had an awesome burn on that group and got so much done. Looks like everyone really enjoyed it.
Such a milestone, all frames in and planking in the kiln. I'm sure you and the team are so incredibly happy. I shed a few tears myself. Bravo everyone... ^_^

Just discovered this a couple days ago. And Im already at Ep 55. Crazy good
moving that timber around looked like a proper mission

Thank you so much Leo, all I can say is "Mesmerizing"! This project is so huge I cannot grasp all you have to do, and kudo's to all of the volunteers and especially Finn, these special individuals are few and far in between.
Nice to see you getting good use out of that fisco tape measure. Congrats on getting fully framed! :)
Thanks man!
WOW!!!! Quite the accomplishment. Well Done! After seeing what you went through, it would seem that you are in good stead, standing shoulder to shoulder with the original men who painstakingly fashioned by hand each piece to perfection. In other words you stand in rare company....
Love the music Leo just right for an 80 year old Englishman
Leo has great taste in music.
It’s all in the mind
Looking at these woodworking skills I see on display in this video. I can say that it's quite refreshing to see young men with these kinds of skills. Respect....
17:55 great idea Finn! If by Finn you mean me lol!

Прелесть! Я не знаю языка но мне нравиться смотреть как вы работаете и чем занимаетесь! Спасибо что вы есть!
Just walked in from long day and this is a nice surpise...cheers...rr Normandy, France
Wow I bet those boat builders of olden days would have loved power tools haha...awesome to watch this : )
You need to sail to Suriname and visit the mill when Tally Ho is finished. That would be a neet trip . Visit all the places that parts are from and then visit and sail with the grandson of the designer who you featured in an earlier video.
crzy11000 Not sure how I missed the episode where he introduced the grandson of the designer. Do you happen to know what # episode that was? Cheers!
Wasn’t the grandson of the designer it was the grandson of the skipper that won the fastnet race.
we are to proud to follow the use the timber you got from us in suriname.

🛶⛵️⚓️🎬 Educational , inspiring , entertaining , and obviously the vessel Tally Ho will be a very rewarding worthwhile and accomplished project of yachting history when the ship goes to sea . Even as the vessel is being created , the teamwork and the forgotten history and skills of craftsmanship will be a testament to the shipwrights . The various comments are also very interesting , and well worded , giving various descriptions and interesting opinions . One comment that I can recall was that Leo is crazy to have taken on such a mammoth project . My personal view was that in reflecting the past film and stories , LEO has in fact spent many months or even years and lots of time and untold work in pulling apart an old ship or yacht named Tally Ho . He then goes on to rebuild the same boat in new timber . It was obviously important to get the correct lines and measurements but it would have been much easier just , to start building a new boat . Mind you I did find it fascinating LEO put in all that effort and work into breaking up concrete , taking out bolts and breaking up the previous timber frames and removing the various pieces of old timber that built up a boat that was more than 100 years old . It has got me to thinking that each of the frames and all of the timber that went into building the second TallyHo , in this next few decades could be easily reproduced by building a plastic copy of a timber framed boat .. 3-D printing of the various timber’s , the keel , the frames , the stringers , deck beams and bulkheads and all of the knees will one-day be a fantastic accomplishment in future traditional reproduction boat building . Built from modern day recycled plastics . Yes it will be the continued contribution of plastics in to the worlds oceans and the environment as it will surely be something that may unfortunately happen to any vessel upon the sea . To be dashed upon the rocks .
Dunno where you get the idea that 3-d printed thermoplastic has strength that matches natural hardwood.
Congratulations to all involved on the completion of Tally Ho's new framing. Great work! If you get a chance, Leo, please give us a little primer on the green to kiln dried spectrum of timber usage. Still don't have a good understanding of what degree of wetness/dryness is preferred for what application. Thanks.
Faith for humanity, My weekend is complete once I've shed some tears of joy. Thanks, Leo!
Great work Leo and all! The frames turned really really good!! Looking forward to see the first planking board installed!
Congratulations to the whole frame raising crew, she looks awesome
Massiv congratulations 🎈 you are “almost there”... looks absolutely fantastic
I always look forward to seeing the videos. You and the volunteers are doing a fantastic job of rebuilding Tally Ho. I wish there was a lot more effort around the world to preserve the knowledge and skills involved in building these vessels. Technology is great but these efforts actually speak to people's souls and are good for us.
Just a few words. I'm retired and unable to contribute to your Endeavor but I hope watching all your videos gets you a little back in youtube funds.
I think that saving this old little ship is wonderful. I think I've see her before in an issue of Wooden Boat magazine. They showed her hoping someone would invest the time and effort to save her. Seeing how she a complete frame up rebuild that would have to be a special person.
It seems you are that person and I'm glad you found each other.
Thank you for sharing your adventure together here for all of us to see. I'll look forward to her launch and first sail so all there is to say is Tally Ho .....
It’s a beautiful thing, seeing all the ribs of a wooden boat.
