BOATBUILDING / Carving Sternpost / Cutting Rabbet (EP60)

Rebuilding a historic sailing yacht – Shaping the Stern / Cutting the Rabbet (EP60)

-----

EPISODE 60.
Rowan returns to give me a hand, and we finish shaping the keel with Adze and power-plane. Then we carve some shape into the Stern Assembly, roughing out the Stern-post with a chainsaw first, before cutting the remainder of the Rabbet into the centreline. The chickens enjoy watching our progress.

60. Shaping the Stern / Cutting the Rabbet (Tally Ho EP60)

[davidallen]

Leo, you are not just a boat builder you are an artist. I am a hobbyist woodworker and the way you work the wood is sheer artistry. I love the work you are doing, and I really liked the interlude with your girlfriend.

I have a confession to make. I have enjoyed watching Leo's videos tremendously and have been more than happy to support his project. But for the longest time it seemed to me that he was renovating the carcass of a beached whale. That is, until today. About half-way through the video, it suddenly struck me that he was actually working on a stunningly beautiful boat. What it was I still don't know, but while I was watching him shape the keel timber and sternpost she suddenly took shape in my mind. Maybe I finally could catch a glimpse of what Leo has been seeing all along.

Am I the only one who think that this purpleheart timber is just gorgeous ? I'd love to have a cutting board made out of this

[nigelzurvas]

Hi Leo . Been here since the start . The world needs more people like you mate .

[CrusherFitter]

Yes! Just made my Saturday night tons better.

I have been a long time subscriber of Leo’s. Channel and I look forward to my bi weekly fix.

I have been seriously impressed by Leo’s skill but what also amazes me is the skill of the craftsman who built these big wooden hulls, who did not have modern power tools, just skill and hand tools like the Ads.

It is good to see in this day of instant gratification that true skill and appreciation of natural materials still exists.

Ps Leo, please tell your lassie to wear safety glasses before she even turns on a grinding wheel.

[trimaranchuck]

A boat built as FINE furniture. Simply beautiful. How quality conscious you are Leo!!!

[stevenpeckett]

Just watched this latest upload and I want to say that I am thoroughly impressed and filled with amazement and admiration in and of Leo as he progresses in this project. WOW! He strengthens my faith in the younger generation and their determination and dedication. I wish I was a younger man and had the advantage of time to help out with this endeavour. Leo... my hat is permanently tipped to you. You are an inspiration to say the very least... thank you!

[johnwestacott]

An excellent cameo from the English Rose. A joy.

[haroldconover]

I am still very much, watching ALL of your videos.

[bullhippo]

You are a true craftsman, if you get tired of sanding wood? My complete fiberglass boat needs to be sanded!

[rickbrownsberger]

Great fun to see Cecca do an announcement!!😺😸 Amazing job you are doing !!

[jimthesoundman]

Leo makes it look so easy. I'd love to see a video describing all the mistakes that were made along the way. I'm sure they had to recut some lumber pieces that didn't work, maybe they put some holes in the wrong places. I'd love to see how he dealt with all those issues.

[johankotze]

It is mesmerizing to see how the keel timber changes colour after a while. I will almost buy a block of it and shave a bit off everyday!

[wakanzionburrows]

That center line is so sexy. Wow! That really brings it to the next level. Well done and looking forward to the next chapter in this epic renovation!

[pauldrake]

I have watched all the series and I hope there will be a continuation of EP61, 62, 63 etcetera
I am impressed the boat is a work of art as well as a working craft! Cheers

[Preso]

Really starting to see the beautiful curves emerging from the structure now. Like a giant piece of fine furniture! Well done. Mark Presling, Queensland Australia

I wish you all the best guys and you guys are very fortunate and lucky to be near sea, ocean or lake. I've never seen one in my life as I resides on a mountainous region, yeah I know only one thing that's rafting on a clear cold fast flowing river.

[MoneyonEverything]

Watching here from Philippines. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I'm in halfway of watching all of your videos and when this uploaded 16 hours ago. I absolutely jump in here.
😁😁😁

[mitfreundlichengrussen]

Glad to see so many good looking chicks around you.
