EPISODE 85.
After a much-needed week off, we head back into the yard and begin the next stage of the rebuild - making and fitting planks! The last stages of the lining-out are completed first, and then templates are made and transferred to the wide boards of Wana that make up our planking stock. After the planks are cut they get various bevels before being hung and fastened to the boat!
Meanwhile all the planking marks are transferred to the other side of the boat, the knees get one last polish, and we mill up some Purpleheart to be used for Butt Blocks.

I’m pretty sure that Pancho (the parrot) wishes, no demands, to go on the first voyage!
The bird...hmmm The bird always cool waddling with wings behind inspecting overseeing and then!... A chicken.
Chickens...allways stealing someones thunder...
Top Tip dont let black Pete go through any metal detectors at the airport....all his metal accoutrements will likely set off alarms. ....He would make a good extra at a Pirates of the Caribbean movie....but he wouldn't make much of a meal for the Caribs** .....The big plus...they wouldn't need to take him to makeup too often...his often foul and unhinged blasphemous speech is also spot on. **Caribs" being the origin of the name Caribbean. Famously Princess Margaret the Queens sister was "nobbled" on the island of Mustique by Mick Jagger the renown satanist and rock star.
Leo, perhaps you need a matpromo department. Bring the merch!
I think the parrot look the boat at a big nest, thank you Leo Happy New Year
Very professional job well done! Here in Seychelles we are fisherman rebuilding our boats and appreciate your work.

Hiya Leo
A wooden boat is a hole in the water that swallows your money twice as fast as a boat made from the next worst material for shipbuilding.
I just saw the video where you cut the end of your finger off, I know how that feels, EXACTLY, about 20 years ago I CHOPPED the end of my finger off also, same hand, same finger, same amount, using a metal stomp sheer and I have a warning, the needle sharp pain to some point will never go away
To keep bronze from tarnishing simply polish and wax weekly. ( that's what you get for being too cheap to gold plate them )
please no more music! or cut level by 50%
Wait a second - does this guy have perfect fashion sense or what?
This particular video is a bit nostalgic for me... Back in the early '70s we had a Honda CT90 (and other bikes) in our household. In the early '80s I used to going flying with my friend in a Cessna 172. In the mid-to late '80s I worked as an 18th century craftsman at a living history museum. Thus I appreciate the work Leo, et al. are putting into the Tally Ho. Good stuff!
I think youd find alot of interest on tik tok!
Well, Im finally up to date. After finding this channel, because of the live oak milling, I had to neglect my life for the last three days to watch the whole series so far. Absolutely amazing, from all possible points of views this is right on many levels, I hope to see more of this in the world, as it is inspiring so many of us. I hope I can contribute in the near feauture.
I don't know what it is with youtube, they keep unsubscribing me from my favourite youtube channels, including this one
I first stumbled onto this project when one of the bronze casting videos showed up in the recommended videos... quite an amazing project... it was a couple of weeks before the live oak sawmill showed up and after that I was hooked. I've not seen all of them but quite a few... I was wondering what kind of wood the planking is?
this is worth my small contribution.
Actually the kind of Renaissance wax needed for long term exposure of bronze or brass to harsh elements is the very hard paste wax. And it should be applied when the metal is uniformly heated to 125F deg. Once applied it should be warmed again to 80F deg and left to cool to ambient temperature. This wax is used in preservation of patinated surfaces and will last for many years if done correctly. If you want a more permanent finish in harsh elements you can order Urushi 2 part lacquer from original Japanese Urushi lacquer makers in northern Japan and highly polish the metal then apply a very thin layer. Repeat this at least 12 times and the finish will last a hundred years or more. There are many examples of this lacquer lasting on battle armor from the 16th century and still performing as a sturdy finish today.
This guy's proof that Casio-wearers are the coolest.
Beautiful build. Don`t ever marry a boat-builder . . . Lol. Cheers.
I expected plank's end to meet on the ribs and the ends to be fastened to the ribs. Well, my boat was built that way but we, Mediterranean's, don't know how to do things properly so it doesn't matter.
@Gareth Hynes Calling me hater because I'm not approving someones methods of doing something is odd at least. You don't have to hate someone you disagree with unless you hate everyone not aligned with your thinking. This comment reveals an attitude of hatred towards dissenters rather than depicting me as hater. To cut the long story, I've lived among people who built wooden boats for living not fun. If they did it Leo's way they would be extinct by now.
@antonio mihovilovic So you used no types of metal whatsoever in your boats.Last person who did that was Jesus, he just walked on the water.What did you use for an anchor ? Listen, haters will always hate, this boat build is fantastic, i just widh you were not so negative and appreciate humanity is diverse.
@Gareth Hynes Thank you for taking time to draw my attention to reasons why Leo have chosen inferior way of planking Taly Ho. I've seen many wooden boats built and helped to repair mine on several occasions. However, Leo's methods are so time consuming and odd if you ask me - I've never seen a wooden boat built with so many metal parts - that it's painful to watch. Hence I unsubscribed from the channel. Short clip of shipbuilding history in Korcula ithomes.info/net/tMmy0LeIfGqBiKA/video
Leo did explain why in the video.The ribs on this size of boat are not wide enough to space out the required number of copper rivets.Making the joint between the ribs into blocks allows more fastenings and not all forced into the same small end position.
The pic of the progress on Tally ho made a great screen saver for my pc
Rolex of boats. Amazing
Good to see you take time away from your labor. Come back refreshed.
Its been a week lets go with another episode
Hey before you chuck on tally ho’s lead keel back on you should find out if its free from nuclear isotopes from modern processing after trinity nuclear test and the arms race after it might be worth a pile of cash
Do parrots eat lead primer soaked chips?
I just wanna say, I absolutely love your videos. There is something just so pure about them. They are a great distraction from the day to day grind.
love your videos and project.. tx for sharing. something interesting for you maybe.. ithomes.info/net/stui0qd9joh2e3Y/video
Hi from not too far off (Forks area). Awesome project! Must have been intimidating at first. Looking forward to seeing Tally Ho come to life.
AWESOME WORK, Keep Rolling Brother She looks AMAZING!!!
I knew you had to be particular in boatbuilding but I never expected you to be measuring down to the Planck scale.
What would you suggest as a more non-reflective lip shades? Have a new YT channel and working with lights is cumbersome. Would be great to get your feedback👍🏽
Hello. How are you. My name is Vüsal. I am from Azerbaijan. I've been watching you for eight months, you have a very beautiful bird, your dreams are very big. But I do not understand why you decided to restoration such a large ship. That is, you could go to sea by renewing a smaller ship. Another issue that interests me is where do you find the financial support needed to develop this project? When do you think this project will end? Please give the answer here, not in the video.I say it because my English is not good. Thank you.
Ive found your channel through Sailing Yaba channel, where someone recommended you (r channel) for them to get in contact for tips about their boat. I think, im gonna binge watch now.. :)
this is getting so exciting!
I love everything you are doing and am supporting in what ways I can :) Out of curiosity what kind of beer do you and your crew like to drink?
That there insanely small level as you call it is known as a line level you can put it on as long a lines you want but Mason's line is best you can stretch it and pull the slack out of the line Mason's line is made to stretch and tighten up as you fo
Need a journeyman electrician in the future. Ill make myself available.
Volunteer of course.

legit thought the guy with the glasses was seth rogan for a sec
Hey, remember to like alright ! Good on you mate
Sounds like Powderpost beetles! Fumigate the lumber with Boracare
👍👍👍👍
Wife wants to know ‘Where’s Cecca??’ 👋
Stuck in the UK (Covid) travel ban...
I've been waiting for planking for so long!
What kind of wood are using to plank your fine project Leo sure looks pretty not a knot in it.
Wana (aka Red Ouro)
Oh that is great. I will be looking forward to seeing those videos as well.
In 2020, there are few things we can count on. Leo is clearly one of them.
How long did it take the original builder to build the Tally Ho? It’s impossible to compare the two since it appears the workmanship and quality going into today’s Tally Ho exceeds the original. I’m just curious how long did it take them in the early 1900’s.
The plans are dated 1909, TH was launched in 1910, build at a well established wharf by many shipwhrights... Difficult to compare, i think
You should make and sell wooden tools from the scraps of the project that would be awesome
i can no longer give a comment/opinion-have an opposing opinion - thumbs up or thumbs down/subscribe or share you tube video links on any you tube videos due to googles new guidelines,because it may offend someones sensibilities.
You've offended me by making a comment!!!!!
SUGGESTION No. 2 FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY: Pete: You mentioned the you didn't use the water level because it had bubbles in it. A few drops of liquid dish soap added to the Water Level will reduce the surface tension of the water and allow the air bubbles to escape more easily. In effect, the surface tension causes the water to collect in globs (scientific term) and to stick to the tubing inner wall which traps pockets of air. Reducing the surface tension also allows the level to "settle out" after each change of position. Using a larger diameter tubing also helps. Also, a little food coloring added to the water will make the water level easier to read.
Why do use an adhesive that needs moisture to cure on plywood ?
Trail bikes have come a long way since those Honda CTs. Still, a neat little bike. Boat looking good.
Leo: SUGGESTIONS FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY: When fitting the planks it might be easier to flatten the curve of the rib rather than trying to carve the underside of each plank. Flattening the mating section on each rib would only take seconds using a block plane or a belt sander. It Is easier to fit and join two flat surfaces than two curved surfaces. You have already flattened the planks with the thickness planer. Those ribs have plenty of extra material so flattening the surface under each plank shouldn't be a structural issue. Just a thought.
Leo answered this question in an earlier comment on this video
Leo, I truly envy you. Not just for what you are doing but more for what is about to come. As a retired aerospace Chief Design Engineer, I know the satisfaction you get from putting your thoughts and ideas down on paper, manufacturing parts and assembling a thing of beauty which, up until then, had only really existed in your head. However, nothing ever came close to the feeling of watching that first ever flight. For you it will be the day she goes back in the water for the first time and the day you first sail away from the mooring. Not many people get to experience that feeling, but you undoubtedly will at some point in the not too distant future. I look forward to seeing Tally Ho when she returns to UK waters.
I started watching you right from the start i tune in time to time to check on the progress you do such amazing work and you have the love and the history boat building
This is an awesome vessel build and very interesting. Hope more frequent videos can be posted in the future. I drive by often but cannot see much from the road.
Look what you've started Leo! Great project. www.bbc.com/future/article/20201117-clean-shipping-the-carbon-negative-cargo-boats-made-of-wood?ocid=fbfut&fbclid=IwAR0XlX80cHHXNehTjTzuLExBb2733Jg0FHHbeGlYwk4kwqytCU0lFrT2aJ0
@MULLAC22 Thank you. I'll have a watch.
This ( Sail Cargo ) project is the one that Alix ( of Acorn to Arabella ) visited earlier this year. He took some tools and equipment down from New England to Costa Rica and stayed a couple of weeks to help out. There is a video on the A2A page on youtube if anyone is interested.
Glue always fails -that is the rule I was told
nice sticker on your minibike. i ride a grom daily. lol. nice ship.
I've never seen such primo wood...no knots at all.
Are you following the Vendee Globe?
Your guys and everybody in the future, will ceaselessly try to keep the brass shiny. And the brass will do its thing and tarnish back. Endless fight consumming endless man hours. When you were doing the first floors, I suggested to gild all that thing and get a shiny, fat, decadent Golden Permafinish. The expense? maybe 200$ in gold, 10 man work days of fumbling and say another 500$ for auxiliary things. Just think about the jaw dropping surprise on your visitors faces 10 years from now when they visit the boat and see the shine. Priceless.
It's bronze, not brass. And if it's kept waxed, there's no reaspn it won't stay shiny.
Nice to have the first plank on! What is the wood species? Looks kind of like teak or mahogany?
@Frederick Stibbert Thanks!
The planking is Wana, aka Red Louro, except for the garboard, lower broads & uppermost sheer-strake, which will be Angelique.
It is amazing that when this boat was built way back, all the boards were cut by hand. This is definitely a labor of love. I truly admire your dedication and grit to keep going and going.
@Charles More than 100 years old.
They most definitely were not all cut by hand. That ship saw (giant band saw) standing in front of the boat is probably 60 to 80 years old, and that is hardly the first of its kind. We've had powered saws for centuries, but for some reason most people assume they didn't exist before we harnessed electricity. Of course, portable circular saws didn't exist, and there was a lot more manual labour, but that doesn't mean it was _all_ manual labour.
Quick question. Maybe you said but i did not hear. Would scarfing the plank joints not create a stronger conection than butt blocks?
Leo answered that question in the early comments of this video
You might be a plank... but I’m completely compounded!
An absolute pleasure to watch.. thank you!...
I found this channel about 2 weeks ago. I binged watched almost every video, only skipping the ones that didn't involve progress on the boat. I just caught up and I am no bummed out that I have to wait for the next episode. :( Awesome project. I'm onboard.
Fantastic series on your build. You have the skills & knowledge of a retired shipwright .
Hanging pkanks! Good on you mate. The Song called Tally Ho. Thanks Leo. (and helpers!)
Pneumatic hammer cheap and can easily pound those brass rivets in
Not to speak badly about Charlie. But I kinda wonder if editing the videos was alot more work than he actually thought. It surprises me how many do think it's so easy or they have done alittle but they believe they can do production quality. They may not be the reason idk. But I do know that this series is lovely an I always look forward to these episodes they are so calming an encouraging! Boat building is out of my reach but you encourage me to follow other positive dreams of mine !! Can't wait to see her on the water an look forward to be able to see your journey traveling
Polishing the bronze (even if you don't see it) adds corrosion resistance. Think of the hydraulic ram they are highly polished yet resist rusting.
She is starting to take even more shape and the level of detail is fantastic. If I was over there I would love to come and have a look and even help, but alas I am in Australia.
wow, about my favourite video from the series. Beautifully made and such a milestone to get that first plank in place
Old downeast builders always called the Shutter plank the "Shudder" planks because of the pain in the ass fitting them sometime became.
can your editor be consistent with the scene transitions for when the music is to start and when it ends? I can't figure out when to unmute the music in order to hear the dialog.
"His editor" is Leo himself. I suggest turning on the closed captions.
Leo can build a boat... and thrash a trail 90... I live this guy
Oi quando ficar pronto ?
Just curious, why the had planing instead of the electrics?
'Love the bike !
Leo, is there a video or pictures of a boat similar to how you envision Tally Ho being fitted out?
Are you using Brasso Polish to polish those?
Maybe this has b'n said/asked already, and I'm sorry if it has been, but with that wide planking stock, I see you templating off one side and cutting close to, almost on the line. I'd be a bit worried if there were any stresses in that wide planking stock, that you might get the cut plank springing off a bit and not matching the template. You're not creeping up on the line? Roughing out the plank first 'n then relaying the templet? Or is your stock simply so perfectly milled 'n dried (lucky bstrd!) that that's not a concern?
Good point! I'll talk about this next episode. Basically the stock is springy enough to edge-set back into shape even if it moves when first cut. Which actually means I can skip using templates at all for a lot of the planks.
Hi Leo. Another fantastic video, Love the bronze work. I assume you are not using bronze diagonal strapping between frames and planking. Is it because you are replicating Tally Ho's original scantlings? You are doing such a great job that I'm sure there will be no hogging. Cheers from Australia.
Leo, how do you keep water from sitting on top of the butt blocks?
It's common to chamfer a slope to their tops, for this exact reason.
Does a buttblock reach from frame to frame or is it just a freefloating piece at plank ends?
"I had some purple heart left over..."....and he produces a 100lb block of purple heart the size of a mini fridge! Awesome craftsmanship, glad to be supporting you!
@on4xb yes, the fit on that scarph joint in the keel was amazing!
Have you seen ep 14A and 14B (the ones where he makes a new keel out of Purple Heart) ?
There is more wood in this boat than I would ever use for all my woodworking in my entire life!
Hey Leo, I've been watching your channel for over a year and the work you are doing is really beautiful. Being a naval architecture student I was wondering if you have to follow some Classification society rules while building a wooden boat like Tally Ho or is it different in this build.
I really enjoy your music choices, very original in every vidéo. Congrats on that (ans all the rest obviously...).
Why aren't there any 'people of colour' helping out?
Unfortunately trad boatbuilding seems to be a pretty white past-time. I'd love for the team to be more diverse - but I can't choose who volunteers! One day I hope to do work which introduces a lot of people from different backgrounds to boatbuilding and sailing.
Because this is northern Washington, where the population is predominantly white. Leo doesn't seem like the racist type to me.
Perhaps none have volunteered
Let's get this done! :0)
How does this get a downvote? Did some cinematographer find a petty focusing or perspective error? Some sound engineer not like the audio quality? Unless you’ve done what Leo is doing better, quit trolling.
