Great to see Maya and Aladino from Sailing Magic Carpet. I didn’t know they were now in the same yard.
Nice to see Maya playing her favorite instrument!
When I first found this channel I thought that whomever decided to rebuild this boat has more money than brains to tackle such a large pile of rot. I still think that, but the speed you're taking this on is staggering, I've been watching Leo Sampson for years and it took over a year before he started replacing frames. Either there is a huge pile of money behind this project or it was estimated and budgeted so well that it was planned for this speed. I look forward to seeing how this turns out.
lt was because Leo had only one helper in the first months. But the other reason why it took longer at Tally Ho was because Leo gave more time perfecting each new frame, and he employed a system where even planing the frame pieces to the same exacting thickness before joining was done on a special table invented by Leo. That able also enabled Leo to clamo & join the pieces of one frame by driving white oak pegs to join them rather than using steel screws which Leo said would be a hindrance when planking.
@@dingc.velasco6038 I'm not throwing shade on Leo, he's doing a fine job on Tally Ho. I'm commenting on the size of the budget, the budget for this rebuild has to be staggering.
We're on a limited budget, but of course big enough to get it done. The vessel is a "museum boat" and it's not going to be restored in the same way or to the same standard as Tally Ho with custom made capstain etc. Focus here is to bring her back to functioning performance while preserving as much of the historical value as possible.
@@AtyaAndJ You're still doing it at an unimaginable rate. I look forward to see if you can pull it off.
I love how relaxing these videos are to watch ❤ it's hard work but you guys make it look so satisfying and fun. Honestly, the moment I start watching I can't stop.
Great cameo girl!
Love to see the cross references on these fantastic projects.
Keep chipping away guys.🙂
Good to catch up, and see new wood being prepped and fitted. Hope that you will not mind me saying, that I am finding it hard to follow, largely because there is so much rotted timber, and understanding what and how it will be replaced without loosing the shape of the ship. There is some synergy with the way that Yaba was rebuilt. Keep up the good work. Great stuff.
Sneaking in Maya from Sailing Magic Carpet was a nice touch. Really enjoying the channel!
Lovely to see Maya there playing music with you guys! She's such a wonderful musician and videographer. I suspected you were both at the same yard - the trees and general setting looked the same.
Love Maya playing & Aladino too! ❤
Great fun, watching these videos and and the build progressing!
great video, great work, and great production! loving the series and cant wait to see where the project goes!
Take no notice of the knockers mate keep showing boat build cheers n beers Marty t
Thanks for the great videos and for sharing the progress. I would be very interested in a close-up of the products you're using (so I could read the label). I live on a wooden boat and am always interested in the products others are using. Best of luck.
Thank you for the feedback! We're planning on testing and reviewing different products as part of the channel down the line, so stay tuned! :)
@@FavouriteBoatworks That sounds great...much appreciated!
Nice great music at the end to
Wonderful work and it looks like wonderful team.
I would know that sweet violin anywhere !
Tally Ho had a better way of joining those white oak frames by inventing a table where the joint pieces were planed to very equal thickness, after epoxy is applied, the frames are clamped to the table, then drilled with a hole where the white oak peg will be driven into the frame.
The advantage is, when screwing the planks on the frames later, the bronze screws always hit wood because the frames have no steel screws on them.
l am no shipwright but when l review the videos on Tally Ho whilst Leo and crew prepared the many frames without any steel crews - l can see the notable advantage of the system used by Leo Sampson.
Are you sure rot spores are definitely not still in some of the original timber which could infect the new wood?
👍!!!
❤
What is the reasoning of the use of frame gal bolts in salt water environment? Could someone elaborate.
I thought that was a no no and the fasteners should be bronze?
@@jeffbear5317 precisely
Bronze is the best, but it is really expensive. Galvanised is traditional for working boats; doesn't last as long but is really a lot cheaper.
As @facmbo6835 put it. This is a project with limited budget and the crew has to work within those parameters.
@@FavouriteBoatworks Thanks, stands to reason
You are wrong when you say all boats have farmers hard chine boats have frame’s but round bilge or carvels have ribs I am a 72 year old boat builder who has been building and repairing wooden boats since the age of 14
Ok, sorry, I said your intro was too long (and boring) .... but you do need an intro. Let first timers know who you are and what you are doing ? 🤔
Sorry your to long and boring. You could use an intro also. Who the fuck are u?This show is dope.
You’re long and boring. This show rips.
