Bunks and Corner-Posts (Boatbuilding / Tally Ho EP124)

----

EPISODE 124

In this episode we focus on the interior of the boat - finishing the engine-access hatch, building bunks and slats, and making corner posts and partitions. We also add more coats of varnish to the hull interior, and even get a visit from our old friend Pancho! Finally, it’s time for me to take a trip back to the UK.

124. Bunks and Cornerposts (Boatbuilding / Tally Ho EP124)

[davidwalker]

I can’t imagine many people have ever built a more beautiful, attention oriented boat. Most people build boats for other people, you can tell you’re building this boat yourself. I’m the same way with things I build that I intended to keep. Everything has to be perfect, or it will drive me crazy for the rest of my life… lol amazing job guys!!!

[PowllMorgan]

So good to see Pancho again!! I love that bird.

[kwacker]

Thinking planning and cutting in 4 dimensions...frankly amazing

[martinovallejo]

Every time they're showcased, I'm amazed by the quality of fit between parts considering the many weird shapes and angles involved. Truly exceptional work in my eyes.

[gregorybailey]

I've been following along since day 1! Love the videos!!! Anyone else been here since first vod?

[johnnyb]

Watching this channel had me pre-drilling all the screw holes on a deck I just built just cuz I knew that’s how Leo would have done it.

[piperjohn_]

Everything is so beautiful and sturdy and well thought out. This boat is just magnificent.

[adamyoung]

it's cool watching something being built to this quality that will probably outlive every person watching this video.

[SteveeCee]

She's looking fab Leo. Lovely to see Pancho there making a brief appearance too, bet she misses you. Hope you enjoy(ed) your trip back to Blighty.

[slamhead]

I love that table saw planer combo. That thing is slick.

[ticovogt]

At 6:55-11:50: “Two quite unusually shaped corner posts and then a sort of diagonal bulkhead going in between them.” This segment is a master class in woodworking and bench work. It’s great to watch Leo start and finish a task alone in the shop, a master at work.

I remember the first time we saw the inside of the hull after it had been varnished... how beautiful it was then after we'd watched everything that happened before. And now this... amazing the journey we've witnessed. And this episode gives us, once again, the magic of what a shipwright can do with wood. Beautiful work Leo. This really is amazing... and we're along for the ride. Happy, at last, to have become a patron.

I remember fondly sleeping in a quarter berth on cold nights with a big diesel radiating heat from 2 feet away. Memories of wrestling engine room hatches out of the berth to work on the raw/fresh water heat exchanger are….less fond. 😅

[corporalclegg]

safe travels, Leo. I can’t imagine how many pints with pals & fam are deserved at this point, but it’s a lot…don’t drown

[Dave-tyqp]

Have fun back home, and tell your family thanks for loaning you to us for a bit. The boat is over a hundred years old, so she can wait for a while.

[Tomhohenadel]

Awesome progress, what a great group of carpenters, shipwrights and helpers. Teamwork that’s what gets the job done.

[edithcsizmar]

I just know hubby is up there watching you..He loved watching you

[DiHandley]

How can one person so young know so much about boat building? Incredible!

[philleasthouse]

Great to see Pancha again!! Gotta have a critical eye on the build. Have a great visit home - it's always nice to see friends and family after a long break. From a distance I'm constantly amazed at just how beautiful Tally Ho is. First hand for Leo and the crew, she must be even more alluring. Can't wait for the next installment.

Hi, my name is Eduardo and I'm in the mission to learn and enjoy from you. I first watched episode where you poured the keel (the second time) and decided to go the the first episode and watch the hole process. After a few weeks of catching up, I'll stick to your channel to lear so many things and humanity. if you ever decide you sail back to the UK passing close to my shores, I'll be lucky and grateful if I get to see your boat and get to know you. So, south not far from shore, via de Panama Canal and then UK. The other routes should follow. Congratulations and admiration for such a commitment and dedication to work (not just "Tally ho", but all that you have shared with the world via your videos.
