11. Demolishing the deck / Reasons to Rebuild - Rebuilding Tally Ho EP11
Support Tally Ho here - sampsonboat.co.uk/support-tally-ho I'm on a mission to restore a historic classic sailing yacht called Tally Ho. In this video I talk about why I am rebuilding this boat, when it would probably be easier to just build a new one. I also get some help to take off all the deck planks and demolish the deck beams, and I consider the next stages of work.
I am considering starting a Patreon account. Please let me know if you think this is a good idea. If you haven't heard of Patreon, you can find out more here - www.patreon.com/home

And make a comment. No matter how idiotic It helps
Can't hit it fast enough, just found the channel and every video gets a insta-like
I love the idea of saving this historic sailing vessel !! GO Leo Go! B.L. Rodee
This is me posting a comment to increase this videos interactivity with youtube. It's meaningless so don't read it and ignore that I said anything. Just trying to support Leo. Due to new youtube practice, this helps also. As does subscribing.
Miss Cecca!

Having watched the episodes about the casting in bronze of the floors makes me so happy seeing this in retrospect :)
Please note that Leo is an ENGLISH boatbuilder. As distinct from British. We 'mericans tend to lump Englishmen into 'Brits,' which is not always appreciated by Englishmen.
I just recently discovered your channel and I’ve been getting caught up on all your episodes hours an hours. I’ve been enjoying them. you really do good work.
I wonder what percent will be original in the end.
Good grief - How could 49 people dislike this video.
It's not just a restoration, it's a resurrection. Can't wait to see you sail the new Tally Ho.
This is a bit like Trigger and his brush.
She is in such rough shape here I'd seriously believe you if you'd told me she was raised from the bottom of the ocean after a couple of years. Genuinely tragic she was so badly treated these last couple of decades. A lot more could've been saved otherwise.
Never cut the beam you stand on! :D
Every video should have a pretty girl in it.
@13:53 "Wood smells good!" That, my friend, is a keeper.
Leo, how did you become so adept at so many esoteric skills - boatbuilding, carpentry, ropework, sailing, bosun’s mate, navigation? It’s all quite impressive.
Just discovered your channel (linked from Odd Life Crafting). So amazing that you are just up from Seattle! Your skill and knowledge of old boats (and creating a boat shed!) shows in your joy on saving a piece of history! Good on you. Trying to not jump to the end to see where you are at. I want to see it from the beginning.
Great videos, good entertainment. But just how much of this old boat will be left, less than 5% of the original I'd guess. Can this still be considered "restoration" when you basically replace 95% of the boat? Something I'm missing here.
9:40 Leo, you should contact these guys, maybe they'd be willing to donate some material/fabricate items for you? Anyone in the marine business who watches any of these videos could not help but to be impressed by what you are doing. www.blacksmithmarine.com/
it nice to hear you talk about the bronze castings like something that would be really nice to put in, but way to expensive... and to see you now casting them and putting them in! amazing!
thank God I found this Tally Ho project yesterday Vs. 2017, no I can binge watch all the vidz....would've driven my crazy watching them in reel time, get it, reel time?
Spoiler. As of Sep 2020, he'd re used around two thirds of the timber for the transom. Everything else is new. Less than 2% of this boat if from original materials as far as I can tell. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic build and a series well worth watching and supporting. It's just not a rebuild.
Leo, will you be renaming the TALLY HO when you are finished and you put her back in the water for her first shakeout sail?
joined this about a year ago and now picking away through all of the early episodes. Brave Man. Understand the logic. Still a Brave Man. So much could have wrong along the way. Least of all, your hair. R&T
Looket that good ol doggo!
Reminds me of triggers broom
I can see so many ways to get hurt working on a big old rotten boat. Stepping on a nail, falling through a rotten floor and on and on. Hope you are careful and a bit lucky. Work safe.
I'd marry this guy, and I'm not gay. Coming to Tally Ho and Leo late, but will mainline through. I've rebuilt a few early 1900s boats, but Leo makes me look like a sissy.
She's making doe eyes and showing interest in your wood. Congrats on hitting that!
Lmao
Longbottom is a nautical term how neat
The living Theseus' Ship analogy.
The Ship of Theseus
Question; how long do you think it took to build Tally Ho when new?
13:51 look at her picking up after your mess... you owe her big time
Does anyone else get the feeling that he repaid the favour?
This is where you realized you were going to rebuild the entire boat.
Binge watching, I am.
Get the feeling this is going to turn into a Triggers broom...
Knowing what you know now in late 2020, Just start from scratch, build new, save yourself a lot of demo have the same thing...
The more they take apart the more and more the Tally ho looks like a archeological find.
Love it
I really hope y'all are current with your tetanus shots! I also loved your statement of passion starting at 9:52... well said.
After watching these early episodes just one word comes to mind, precarious !!
How to buy a ton load of compost, for £1!😉 Hope he has a wood burner that will use all the debris. I'm wondering if just building a replica would have been easier, as all the demolition would be avoided. (As Above in the intro.)
@Christopher Simonsen I'll take Mark Twain's advice on this one.
@niklar55 firsty that's not an intro, secondly you're asking a question he already answered.
@Christopher Simonsen *Have you even read what I have written?* _''(As Above in the intro.)''_ *The stupidness is amazing!*
Have you even watched the video? 9:50min he tells exactly why he did like he did The stupidness is amazing
Know noughing about boat building can see you reusing lead keel. Seen minimal timber to reuse. Watching to see what use safe baring for templates. Man this is a learning curve
So, is this a restoration, a reproduction or a reincarnation when finished please. Maybe all three. An amazing amount of work and certainly worthwhile.
7:50 That's it keep him talking so you can have a breather. :)
@09:51 The whole point of this project right here! Great vision and something to really think about - what do you really value?
You keep saying lead. Like real lead that makes people go crazy?
Am enjoying this. What energy !!!
Little did Leo know but cast bronzes floors were in his future......
Binge watching these again during covid
Was coming down into the comments to say the same thing! Fun to finally go back to the beginning and rewatching everything develop.
truuue
Mate the vision and commitment needed here is awesome. Credit to you bud.
I’m just starting the series. Any thoughts on uses for discarded wood? I’m thinking they could be used for merchandise sales - pens, knife scales, bottle stoppers, patreon gifts, etc.
This is really helpful to see how it was built, but what idiot puts steel nails in any wooden boat! Great to see all the bronze fixings still in-tact. Your flat ended drill is a good technique, but if you run the drill backwards you get even less breakout. This is good for soft materials and plastics too.
And you made the cast bronze floors!! So awesome.
this is like the triggerproblem in only fools and horses. claims he has had the same brush for years only had to replace the head 6 times and the handle 4 times. is it really the same brush
You are saving a soul, not rebuilding, a new boat is a newborn. Great work on saving her. Is so sad she I see a boat rut away.
Thank you for the free content
@J Hemphill true that
You damn him with faint praise. _Content_ is found inside sausage casings. What we have here are fine works.
I think it is kind of stupid for anyone to suggest you could build one cheaper ! ! ! It is extremely disrespectful to you and the boat/ship and It shows a complete lack of thought and understanding as to what and why you are rebuilding/restoring it. Why spend millions to buy the Mona Lisa or a Rembrandt or Van Gogh when you could have a brand new one painted for a few hundred. It is a piece of Fracken history man, a work of art. It was hand made over a hundred years ago and it is still around. How many fiberglass and plywood boats will be able to make that claim.
Amazing to see you take up the deck as the newest videos are about putting it back down.
There doesn't seem to be much camber on the original deck at all.
It would have been interesting if there had been photographs from back in 1910 of the Talley Ho under construction with the shipwright and boat builders involved. I think they would be very impressed indeed by this 21st century re-build by Leo and his many helpers.
Why rebuild instead of making a new one? Ship of Theseus? What's the difference?
I know nothing about sailing or boats. Well, after binge-watching to now I guess I know a bit more. Thanks for this. Excellent work.
The ship of Theseus.
In 2020 - just watched the rebuild of the deck with new timber, and hand cut joinery. Ah to be able to see the future back then. Not a single bit was re-used.
At this stage you must have been seriously looking for a box of matches. Glad you didn’t.
Leo's had quite a few people come and help, several repeats. But Cecca always seems to be there for him. She appears to be a wonderful human being!
8:50 wink wink
When you see the craftmanship that originally went into this boat, you understand why it deserves to be resurrected.
I wanted to watch to chill a bit... but nope.... not with that music! ;)
Oh c’mon Leo, dab of putty and a lick of paint those beams will be good to go.
Ah, what a difference three years make..
Having been watching your progress for the last few months and then backtracking to the beginning, the progress you have made is absolute inspiring. A fantastic, beautiful and heartwarming project. Good luck going forward Leo.
110 years from now when she's being restored again, they'll have all these videos to watch. Imagine if you had video like this of the original construction. ;)
Maybe. IThomes will be long gone, 1920x1080 with current encoding will be as obsolete as wax cylinder records. It's a much less permanent world now - he has drawings which only survived because they were on paper, digital stuff currently seems to have a shelf life of about 6 years. There may be a few geeks who know how to resurrect a few things from the 2020's but it'll be similar to reading Etruscan.
10:45 Thank you for the excellent and inspirational description of why a classic boat such as this should be restored. Too often we discard our history and replace it with things that have no character, no history, and no heritage. Well done!
Wow to look at it now leo
Some of the original wood in that boat came from trees that were growing before iron ships existed. A lot of history there. 👍😊
If you hit it with a hammer. If there's a dent wrought iron if not cast.
NICE TO HAVE SOME HELP, HOPE MORE ON WAYY, REGARDS , FROM MARK SOMERSET.
Build a new copy would of been more easier and please take that young lady to dinner. Marry her Leo good day
Romantic Lep
could you recycle the frames for other parts of the boat? non-structual/easy access stuff, just to have more original material.
Hey Its a pattern ship face facts just use the good wood for furnishings and token pieces that don't compromise its sea worthiness obviously.
9:52 Leo's defining moment for the soul of Tally Ho. 2yrs later and so much has been done since this video. "How do you eat a elephant? One bite at a time."
You can tell the old guy from the young one. The old guy works at shoulder level when he can.
seems like it would have been cooler to keep the old boat in tact.. .. and then use it to build a replica. There's not gonna be much left otherwise. earned my sub either way.
Several people have said to write a comment about something doesn't matter it helps. How does a comment help raise the amount of money you tube pays. I understand the number of views and number of subscribers can affect the amount of money, but not the comments. Can someone explain that to me? Also explain the Patreon account. The only way that I understand is to write a check and give it to Uncle Sam or use credit card. Then he must have an account. Thanks stay safe
This video answers my earlier question. Thanks for reading commenters who've come before me.
13:50 Amen to that!
The explaination of why you are doing this is a few centuries old! The best exemple is the ship of theseus. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus By the end of this project you'll captain of a hundred year old ship.
philosophy and carpentry, perfect fit
As rotted as that deck is, you’re mighty brave standing on that 2x2 framing
I like your little speech as regards the purpose of this endeavour, you're right not everything should boil down to pure sterile economics, it is great to restore certain things, they then add to the rich heritage of our past, throw away, disposable, can't be bothered culture is not a pretty sight. Good luck with the rest of the project. ps I have an inflatable canoe by the way, you have inspired me to fix the puncture its had for the last 2 years !.
I have been binge watching these videos from the beginning and I do have a question. Was the prop and gear box a upgrade when used as a fishing boat or was it originally designed for some kind of drive? And, if not is this guy planning to install a motor on it?
IMPRESSIVE SKILLS
Refer to Joshua Slocum, "Sailing Alone Around The World", 1895-1898 ,,, similarity ???
Good Idea
👌
Surprised no one from Bangor Base who is a naval architect or historian to come help him find connections
Sorry, but what i´m seen till now (EP11) it would be not possible to restaure this boat. It would be the same as you put the Kaptain Desk an a brand new Caravelle and call it "Santa Maria". However, the work and the spirit you put in it is increadible.
I comment to support your channel. Great video
What kinds of wood was used in the original, that you are removing?
