Big Joinery – Building the Stern Assembly (Tally Ho EP43)

Could the lofting floor be expanding as the seasons change????

Great optimism and problem solving on your part! Very admirable quality!

Oh dear No!! a pencil line in a 3 foot boat!! that is what it takes to be great. well done Leo.

Love the music and of course the videos!

She was never built that accurately 1st time around. And didn't use such tough timbers. Well done, fella. (My boat is steel, 40 years old. I bought it for about the price of your stem and stern timbers, and it's been my home for 10 years. Phew!)...

This boat is being built more like a high end piece of furniture than anything else. Wonderful to see but maybe unnecessary? Are all boats built to this kind of ‘joinery’ level?

Nice chucks of woodworking and teamwork.

i sometimes think what is taking you so long, especially since the buttocks seem to be going on for quite some time, then i reallise that this little part you glued and jointed on, would be a project that would take me a couple of days :D

Nice bomba song at the end, I couldnt believe it, how did puertorican traditional music end up here?

I don't know anything about boatbuilding and live a thousand miles from any ocean, but nonetheless I am going to stick my neck out with a stupid comment here. Wouldn't that stern assembly be easier and stronger if you laminated it with smaller pieces? You could make more intricate interlocking joints that would form a much stronger whole. Are you strictly following the historic work, or is there another explanation?

Leo, your restoration work and carpentry skill is inspiring. And your music choices for your videos are top-notch.

man than timber is so sweet

God damn, you're so skilled in your craft. You also make such great videos I swear I can build a seafaring boat at this point

Precision can not be rushed.
Excellent work.

That chain saw jig is a wonderful tool. You could do with the equivalent for routing the big timbers. Steel frame, with adjusting screws to lift the timber to the correct height for routing.

Exellent Working!!!!!! Greatings from an old german mastercarpenter

Nice precision Leo. Reminds me of what we say in the machine shop, measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with an axe (or chainsaw).

You take a few strings of cotton, hemp, linnen and straw and connect them together to form a long string. The next thing you do is tie a loose knot at the beginning and move that knot down the string all the way untill the end passing the different matierals...

Is that knot still the same knot untill the end of the string?

Ooh, I bet fitting all that stern assembly together was SATISFYING.

Poncho has you well trained I see. XD

I prefer to build with Woodprix plans.

Huge satisfaction to see that assembly constructed so masterfully.

Have your mom and dad seen your videos? If so, what do they think? Any brothers or sisters coming to help?

I thought wood got ruined when it’s wet? How come it seems to be fine here?

Hey - keep all the old timbers and buy yourself a steam car - you'll get lots of miles to the galleon...! :D :D

Pancho wants her screen time lol

I find watching these videos mesmerising and terrifying in equal measure!

Is purple heart wood toxic?

Awesome, very impressive work on some bigaa** pieces of wood. Thanks for showing us.

A thing of beauty.

I like you Hyster brand hydraulically adjustable workbench.

That bird steals the show every time it makes an appearance.

Loved all the close-ups of the joinery prep in this one!

I like how your power tools accidentally harmonize with the Midnight Special medley playing in the background

🙂

yeah. that macaw wants another finger

You can glue sandpaper to the faces of the router jig where it goes against the timber, it'll hold in place without slipping.and be easier to set up.

Also the same trick works on rulers, especially steel rulers, glue on a fine wet or dry paper on the back side and they'll never accidentally move again while you're drawing a line.

Well, you don't see something like this everyday. Props to Finn for being such good help.

Never seen anybody use a chainsaw like a scalpel before.

I just started watching. I’m a fan. On episode 43 I would have recommended a couple leaf blowers for snow removal.

I think it's funny how the sternpost "fits together surprisingly well".
I don't think anyone watching is surprised, given your attention to detail, measurement and skill with a chisel.
It's a thing of beauty.

Great video

More likes and comments for you after watching the launch. Well done.

Watching these for the second time round reinforces what an incredible project and a fantastic set of skills you and the team have created. Chapeaux Sir!

Lucky with the expansion of the templates. Had it been summer and they had instead contracted before marking could have been a disaster!! 😅

👍

Seeing all those chucks of purple heart come together on one big piece is really awe inspiring.

I have no idea if you or anyone else will see this, still, I am going to say it.....

First of all, that you are bringing a 100 year old sailing ship to life, that alone makes me a fan for life.

Second, it does my heart good to watch you do a full scale layout of Tally Ho endears you to the heart of this Draftsman who began learning his trade in 1974. Science and art combined.

Third is the level of craftsmanship is impressive.

Fourth, watching you use tools and techniques from throughout hundreds of years of building is touching to me, very touching.
