EPISODE 74.
In this episode I work on repairing and reinstalling Tally Ho’s original transom timbers. Being Teak, they have escaped rot, but have a lot of damaged areas and holes that need to be filled with plugs and graving pieces. I also need to add a couple of new planks, so I visit a friend with some Teak for sale, and have a look around his interesting workshop. The planks are joined together with vertical splines and fastened to the stern of the boat. An assortment of animals try to get in the way, as always.

Looks fantastic glad you used some original teakwood
Ya know... Did leo chop his finger off sharpening the big table plainer? 🤔 Hmmm
damn now i really wanna build a ship, but i need reasources
I'm from Michigan and see many a old sail boats and sail yachts, it warms my heart as a mariner to such a great feat being made. i showed my grandfather and he said that it looks beautiful. oh and my grandma thinks the parrot and the dogs are cute.
I really admire your craftsmanship!
Midnight special, Johnnie be good.
Amazing sound track dudes. Or ladies if appropriate. Some good covers.
Nice tight joints ,well done
Wow !...What a ton of work to save that transom. I would have scrapped it...I admire your determination to reuse it.
That dog is my spirit animal.
If that was my shop I’d have all the gear, with no idea.
Beautiful job
These people need an old guy to show them what to do, My old timer would be telling these guys to stop pussyfooting around and get some ship done
I think it's called Baton seem when you're talking a spine vertical sline
Real boat builders use resorcinol glue
You guys should be using tight bond 3 not Gorilla glue
Please, everyone, look for the time machine, because Leo has such amazing skill and knowledge. I think he went back to the heyday of wooden boat building and soaked up all that AMAZING knowledge of wood, technique, tool use. Incredible. THIS is may favorite IThomes channel ever!
19.50 its a good thing, the dog did not shit on the transom !
Awesome transome, better late (me) than never! I love the many repairs you have done and the decision to clear finish the teak, suck beautiful wood! Keep it coming Leo and Poncho!
The type of bead put on the bottom of the beam shelf is called a 'cock bead'. I kid you not. Just when you'd got over futtocks. One innuendo after another...
cool video. don't forget to shave your uni-brow. LOL its way huge
Video needs more footage of your wife and her chickens
Hi very interesting. This made me remind a port were I was years ago. There they us simple hand tools and make the making process with a good boat making that last longer plenty time. Maybe there you can find some old tools and working methods that can help you to improve the process and make it easier and faster with manual tools. The main tooil used is like a mattock but sharpen (www.vbmfg.com/mattockpick.jpg) you never use it in any operation. Did you hear and use that any time? fineartamerica.com/featured/fishing-boats-in-the-harbour-at-essaouira-in-morocco-laurence-delderfield.html www.essaouira.nu/Pics/shipbuildning_port_1_600.jpg www.essaouira.nu/art_craft.htm www.essaouira.nu/essaouira_port.htm www.fotosearch.com/CSP145/k46970291/ www.essaouira.nu/Pics/shipbuilding.jpg
Who are the 305 people that DON'T like Leo? I mean really, WTF?
Nice that some of Tally Ho's old bones will make it into the skeleton of the new Tally Ho :)

Great to see some of Tally Ho going back in. :)
HI Leo, you need a thickness sander!! Love all the work that the team has done and the excellent videos Rich
The old transom would have made a great galley table.
admirei muito seu trabalho. fantástico . vídeos satisfatórios
Clark bears a remarkable resemblance to Ron Swanson with that cookie duster.
Hey nice work , I so hope I will be that guy at 83 still building stuff !!
Love that bandsaw. Never seen one like it. Guess it is common in ship yards? Gorilla Glue should sponsor you!
Hi Lio, are you going to use same way (as on stern plate in this video) the soft wood between planking’s as a sealing agent?
Que se fabrique una flota de barcos veleros para pasajeros que quieran ir de europa a america y viceversa.( la ecologia lo va a agradecer y la gente se podria acostumbrar a la experiencia ).🐟
I'm not sure if this has been covered but are you concerned about lead?
FYI !!!! YT is no longer sending out your videos thru email.
great, but whats that music for, and i dont dare to turn the speakers off, because sometimes theres explanations
Loved this episode, and the upbeat music. Still mesmerised, 74 episodes in :)
Saddam
Your friend looks like Ron Swanson
Ok leaving homebuilding to come and build boats with you guy, will work for free.
Hello,, like
that quite boat you have there man and it would be awesome when its done .good luck getting it done .
I like the quiet understated way Pete the Shipwright just plies his trade ... an artisan for sure.
At ithomes.info/net/1NR_p9msaHlod3o/video, what's up with the line of the beam shelf? Seems like it's kinked a bit at the scarph joint, no? Is that from the load needed to hold it in its shape?
Norm seems like a cool dude. I want to be like Norm when I'm 82.
brilliant
The dog on the Transom, funny stuff. "Hey get off their" how more real can it get.

Ship carpenters - the highest category of carpenters that there is as far as I know. I think they are cat4 , where furniture carpenters are cat3 ( i'm a furniture carpenter. Very interesting to watch this, this is amazing !
I’m a seaman, I found your great works Awesome 😊
man u even look like a sailor lol
Who wouldn’t want to watch something like this?? I only wish IThomes was around when the Egyptians were building stuff.
23:42 me looking at my crush...
у нас не так строят.... каркас из прутьев ивы и обмотать стрейч пленкой - получается лучше мистралей.
Just wondering, Do you have a regular job? you still need to eats... That is a lot of calories you are burning for the last 3 years ? lol
Pete deserves a huge shout out for not rolling the router while running the bead upside down climbing around. Hats off to you my friend, hope your name gets chiseled into Tally Ho!
At about 13 minutes in I noticed one piece laid in cross grain to the transom piece and am concerned it will crack or split out. Why was it put in this way?
I guess no one else noticed the guy in full camouflage laying on the couch?
The only word I can think of in relation to the fit and finish, along with your professionalism, is AWESOME!
I'm saying its a bad idea trying to reuse those transom planks. WHy bother the risk.
the love and care of the transom is amazing, well done!!
Hi Leo, when will you be installing the mast partners? Keep up the great work.
Leo I have a question probably born out of ignorance but I have a 47 foot 1.25" full length carvel planked vessel. She weighs 30 tons and looking at the photos of her construction back in the '50's, I saw that the boatbuilder built her transom by firstly constructing diagonal 1.25" planks and THEN horizontal 1.25" planks. I was wondering why you didn't do the same as surely it would give the transom super strength and less flex and more resistance to collision? I really would like to understand why Tally Ho wasn't built that way when the rest of her construction is so massive. If you can find the time, I would be most interested to know.
With a fulltime building crew, how long would it take to build Tally Ho? And, what would she cost on the open market?
Nice to see you use a chisel to pop the top off of those plugs and pare them down and a block plane to finish. Can't wait for the varnish!
Hermoso trabajo. Mía abuelo. Lo hacia en chile yo no lo aprendi.
In fairness those softwood loose tongues could have stopped an inch or two from the outboard edge of the transom.
Bottom 2? What am I missing, I count 3.
few hours to go
Will there ever be a fund raiser where supporters can buy a small piece with their name on it or something like that?
Wonder what that circular group of small holes was in the real transom?
Quick! Someone hand these craftsmen some proper varnish brushes!
love the midnight special cover you put in! awesome!
Big wooden boat, lots of animals, 2020... guys I think I need to start building a boat too
Professional shipwrights use Gorilla Glue on their million dollar yachts.. so should you.
Aren't those splines horizontal?
Seems like you’re making an actual version of the “Ship of Theseus” paradox. It’s nice that you’re able to keep some of the prominent pieces of the original ship to really keep the connection between your new version of the ship and the original!
Ft f@Tyvern Overlord ..5t
The U.S.S. Constitution is the ultimate expression of the paradox
Love the timber
@3.23 using the router and block plane like that to plane a fresh surface is a great (simple, efficient, effective) idea! I'm going to lock that away in a dusty cobwebby corner of my brain, hopefully to pull out when I need it :)
Hey Sampson,..@ 23mins in, I think I recognize the background guitar music &playing of a Nashville Top picker, Guthrie Trapp. Nice 'n' cool. !
Norm seems like the kindest soul. Thank you for a look into his work:)
17:23 Measure twice, cut once.
Two questions for Leo: While resurfacing and repairing the Teak, it appears that quite a bit of the original thickness was taken away, and the amount removed seemed substantial. 1) Does that now cause a significant change and wanders away from the intent of restoring Tally Ho back to what Albert Strange intended and had originally designed? 2) The thickness of the Transom is now thinner, does that affect the structural integrity that a thicker Transom would provide?
The decorative beads and chamfers - the chamfers were widely used in wooden structures, not as decorative element and even not as to protection against painful head bumps, but as fire protection measure. Beam would catch fire much slower from oil lamp positioned too close to it, if the sharp edge was chamfered or rounded. What the logic behind the truck plank bead on the stringers? I suppose it is not to appeal to the sense of beauty of the herrings catch?
Personally I would have called the splines loose tongues - I suppose that's the difference between shipbuilding and cabinet making.
16:54 I literally was like "It's unplugged. Right? Please tell me it's unplugged..."
thank you for what you do....
Each time you say restore it looks like you threw away everything and start anew. Great work though guys. Awesome skills.
watching you work on the transom, and all the work that went into filling the holes and damaged teak, how were you able to keep the integrity of the piece. While planing it down to fit in new wood, wouldnt there be a problem with the piece becoming too narrow or not filling the space properly?
actually now that ive watched the video more, i can see that the transom is basically just a cap, the other beams are providing the main support. I am learning so much! very fascinating!
YUP. IT'S STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A BOAT ....... GODSPEED
Frodo and Ron swanson build a boat
Cutting the transom splines diagonally across the grain: Respect.
It's such a pleasure watching your craftsmanship - the transom is looking great!
Love the arc the build has taken, Leo. Tally Ho looks fantastic. With the deck beams and transom installed she has resumed her place in history. No stopping her now. Props to you and the crew. Speaking of props, have you given any thought to going with an electric motor instead of a diesel engine? Check it out at Oceanvolt. It's pricey but IMO well worth its value. What would a fair expense be for such a system? Guessing less than 10% of the total build. This system produces aux electrical boat power day or night in fair weather or foul by back generating off the electric drive when not in use. 100% green energy. No solar panels needed. No fossil fuels required. Put it on your wish list. Maybe Elon Musk or Richard Branson will surprise you. Elon Musk's Starlink satellite worldwide network, almost complete in Low Earth Orbit and about to go live in months. Low latency internet access will be available anywhere on earth. You can talk directly with your mom or a classroom of students halfway around the world, track wind and weather, get NOAA charts and tidal information, and teach oceanography and navigation by the stars.
Is there a reason you don't use the planer to take off the tops of the plugs and graving pieces?
good job!!!
Music👎🏻💩
So, the transom is the only thing left from the original boat. You could have just built it from scratch according to the plans and save on labor and transportation of the original hull.
