EPISODE 72.
In this episode we face a major dilemma - having found that one of the White Oak logs had porous grain (bad news!) I have to make the painful decision of whether or not to replace 19 deck beams that we already made from it. Meanwhile, Tally Ho’s planking stock arrives and is stacked ready for planking. The frames get faired and the bilge stringers get made, scarphed, and finally bent into the hull of the boat. Finally all is well, and Patrick teaches us some useful boat terminology.

My five year old son comes in the room and says what's Leo doing today dad? ☺️
Loving the work! I'm looking for any info on the best way to prevent shipworms today. Thanks!
Just got a bollocking from the missus because she caught me watching this without casting it to the tv i didn't even know she was interested ☺
Awesome seeing young people do something besides play video games and post ticktocks all day. Keep it up!
That's a yard dog if I've ever seen one
Why not seal the end grain before assembly???
Wao mantap
20:45 Wow!
You need to be more respectful towards your partner
I personally would have selected ‘Pinus rigida’ or Pitch pine for these stringers instead of Oak. You can find reclaimed pitch pine timber’s throughout central England in good lengths, some up to 50ft+. It would’ve saved an awful lot of f@#king about.
Just found your channel bud... I’m a mechanic so I work with metals and welders all the time but have never worked with wood.. Very cool watching you all build this. Blowing my mind how you all are working this wood into place... Very cool 👍🏼🤘🏼
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love the background bluesy music
I started watching these videos about a week ago. I am 71 years old and retired, living in New Hampshire. Yesterday, I was out walking along an abandoned railbed along a riverbank with mixed hardwood stands. I noticed White Oak (Quercus Alba) trees mixed in with Swamp White Oak (Quercus Bicolor). Both trees are in the White Oak family but the Swamp White Oak has open pores. Perhaps the "bad" Oak was from a Swamp White Oak? The use of White Oak in the project evoked childhood memories of my grandfathers back yard where he built a Cabin Cruiser using White Oak. He had stacks of milled White Oak which he had salvaged from felled trees in the aftermath of the great 1938 hurricane. I also remember watching my parents helping him salvage more Oak in the aftermath of hurricane Carol in 1953.
VERY INTERESTING
Yeah I've had to throw away material and many hours of my time on some projects, but the best thing to do is correct the problem and get on with remaking the pieces. Once this is done you will feel a lot better knowing you have done it right.

Would hate for red oak to be your weakest link. I would replace it with white oak.
Did Noah use great wood, or what?
Leo boatbuilding bilge stringers next Leo bike testing and flying plane ✈️ lol on a better note as you say team a bit down due to the bad ok yes it is like a sponge 🧽 sucking the water up but at least you all have found it now rather than after you started to do the boarding take care 😀👍
Hard work! No fat men here. Lol
You guys are fantastic master woodworkers!!..well shopwrights..I guess a higher level?.. anyhooo Officially have my Mind blown after watching this.
Leo, have a look at that video which shows the diffeence between red oak and white oak. ithomes.info/net/sJqtlaWTq5Z6bIo/video
Can the suspect wood pores be sealed with a wood treatment.
Theres not any hybrid white red oaks, there are oaks that dont really fall into either category but red and white oak arent species (in the lumber trade at least) but literally mostly whether there is tylose in the pores to make it water proof (also some other considerations) That was definitely red oak
i am a part time lumber broker here in the southern part of the us and thaty looks like some type of red oak or hybrid red/white oak breaks cleanly and has huge open pores that suck up liquid like a straw
THIS IS FOR YOUNG GUYS. WHEN I WAS YOUNG I DID THE SAME ON 48 FT WOODEN RUM RUNNER BOAT. I COULD HAVE BUY 4 NICE BOATS FOR WHAT I SPEND. NEVER FINISHED. TOOK ME 5 YEARS I JUST WALKED AWAY NEVER LOOKED BACK.
Seriously, will there be any old wood in her, when you’re done? It is awe inspiring.
lol "a few more weeks before we start planking"
Climate Cultist sells defective lumber putting lives at risk then lies about it. Shocking. This channel is starting to reek of patchouli.
I know this is an older video but I wanted to guess that the porous wood is red oak instead of white. I'm at 5:52 and dont know if the answer is in this video. If it isnt I'll have to google it I suppose.
Cool work Patrick!!! The Sledge O Matic saved the say.
Just seal the wood holes womt matter
I was hit by a car and can't sail - so rewatching this for the second time is interesting. You were so hopeful to save things - then at some point, you said "screw it" - good for you.
Patrick is a realy nice guy. Take care Patrick.
5 minutes in and I'm thinking "this bloke is pretty smart, and this video is really interesting" and then comes the demonstration around 5:50 and I'm saying to myself "This guy is bloody brilliant and this video is fascinating!" I'm subscribing, but now I have 71 videos to watch before I can finish watching this one...it's going to be fun, and an education. Thanks!
Leo good job
Hi Leo, when I was living in the UP I had a few times some one cut about 500 feet of red oak, all of it had a strong smell of vinegar until it was dried, I don't know if that is only characteristic of red oak. Rich
素晴らしいありがとう。

Hey Leo, I'm an Arborist and a woodworker. Your mystery timber looks a lot like Northern Red Oak or Black Oak to me. Check this out: www.hobbithouseinc.com/personal/woodpics/_anatomy/ring_porous/oak/_oak.htm
Good luck guys
When you do the really technical explanations where you tell us we can skip ahead, you should have Patrick do a voice over at that point and explain to us simpletons what you really mean.
the sarcasm at 1:20
I imagine you and your compatriots are the proteins, Strange the DNA. Ya'll crawling within the forming lumber, the instruments of her physical structure. If she were a living thing............. Perhaps we ought be more grateful for the precise process of our existence.
master in pakistaan
Love your videos yet pausing to show that your girlfriend helps in every video 3 times might be sweet at first yet gets annoying quickly..just keep that in mind
Noah’s Ark?
is that a scarf joint in your stringer?
Why dry the planking stock so much. When it's green it's easier to bend it into the shape of ship and it's getting weat anyway when u launch the boat. When your gonna plank do u take into consideration the expansions of the planks with regards to the gaps between the planks. Great work love watching your videos 😀
The planking looks like what we call Sapele around here.
Just "Cactus Juice" it all :)
The beatings will continue until moral improves!
I laughed so much when Pete mentioned it was a double restoration. It is fantastic to see such dedication to such craftsmanship. I hope all good things to those that have helped this project. Thank you all.
Shameless plug.......
Can't even imagine what wood costs for something like this....... nevermind the labour.......
Massively brilliant........
Find the guy who sold you that crap and kick his arse.......
This hull is truly like a piece of sculpture.......very poetic looking joinery.......
note to self ... buy a forklift before starting on a project like this
A genuinely nice guy I think.
Patrick is hilarious
almost 15 years of internet use for me, this series is easily my favorite thing.
That’s a tattoo of Missouri on Pete’s arm.
I LOVE your bandsaw, beautiful tool
@ 11:07 you can really see the shape and picture the vessel sailing and making way thru the ocean and the water brushing against the hull as the parrot sits in your shoulder asking for food.....
How do you determine the correct curve for the deck beams? Monster compass or do you plot it out on the blanks?
It is a good thing you have a crazy Englishman leading the way forward!
Aeronautical Oak !? Which is kind of Nautical....right ????
Patrick was great, I learnt so much. I always thought it was pointy end and flat end, so glad he put me straight on that. Farewell Patrick, hope you find time to come back to the (re)build.
Does Gallagher know you have his mallet?
take your red oak parts and build a chamber so you can force 2 part epoxy through the pores--fill the pores and use it.
Very envious of your vocation chaps...I work with the land...awspme knowledge....hats off
I have no interest in boats .. but your exploits are mesmerising.
You guys are truly something. The skill! Shipyards making supertankers cannot even compare. I am a construction superintendent in a shipyard making oil platforms and we make dead stuff. You guys make a living breathing boat. Cheers.
Man, tough break on the funky wood. Better to find it now though rather than down the line. Great video as always.
Leo, just hire Patrick! He’s great
Try give the oak in question a smell test, taste test, burn test any other test you can think of.
After watching a lot of these episodes, can you tell me what is going to be original on the ship in the end?? Looks great.
if it sucks air then its red oak.
Who's cooking? I missed the answer to why Patrick was planing backwards. Anyone?
less than a week after finding your channel and many sleepless nights i finally caught up with your current videos!!! where do i sign up for "Leos Dodgy Boat School"?
I would love to go to Leo's Dodgy Boat School!!!!!!!
Could you have not just soaked all the porous white oak in a tub of resin until it absorbed it all?
Thank you for the free content
Too beautiful. What a project, what love.
I wonder what SB Co. does with all that sawdust?
Patrick your awesome 🤣😁
Do you glue your bolted scarf joints?
Put the suspect timber in a bath of thin, slow cure epoxy. Apply a vacuum and and presto; a timber which is far stronger and rot resistant than anything else except the bronze.
Wrong Patrick, there will be a steering wheel.
Very nice work.
Double restorizationating! Now that's a thing to see!
This project symbolizes more than just building a boat. It has brought a lot of different people from different back grounds to share there story and be part of something truly amazing. Leo and the people that help you, what a fantastic job so far. I don't even sail but it seems interesting to take up.
Hey... Wait a mo... A big part of this project is the minute attention to detail, the gorgeous lines, and the exquisite quality of the joinery. It's virtually large-scale cabinetmaking. We're used to seeing super-sexy close-ups of joints and housings and other naughty nautical things that make us (ex-)woodbutchers go all unnecessary at the knees. When I think of Leo working those monstrous slabs of purpleheart for the keel thingy [technical term], I still find myself muttering, "I'll have what she's having..." But we didn't see any porno-style close-ups of the mighty scarf joints in those bilge stringers. There was a glimpse of... something... over Leo's shoulder at around the 24:40 mark, but I feel incomplete. What's up, Petey-babe? Still a little shy, sweetie? Hmmm? ;-)
I'd like to echo all the positive sentiments concerning this project and accompanying vids (I write towards the end of two-week binge fest). I'm no boatie, but I was based in Falmouth (UK) 1985-97 where it was hard to avoid boats, boatbuilders and sailing types, so hard that I even worked on some and sailed on the wretched things. In certain quarters I'm known for yawning openly when the subject of boats arises in pub discussions, but even I've bunged a few quid in the pot. Excellent work, chaps. Btw, I'm with Patrick on the correct use of the Queen's English: front, back, left, right; why mess around? And what's this I hear about there being no wheels? Are you sure you know what you're doing?
