What I find particularly fascinating is how the "old crafts" were used in the restoration of Tally Ho. And in addition to the work on the boat, it includes the metal working crafts like fitting and turning and casting of the broken parts. In a word of computerized manufacturing ( which I love) seeing people produce things "with their hands" is particularly satisfying.

"Dirty Hands......Clean Money" is one of my favourite bumper stickers. Keith qualifies !!
-
That’s a nice collaboration of excellent talent to restore this important and impressive bit of maritime history! I applaud all of those who have contributed their skills to make this a reality!
-
Amazing the communication distaances and teamwork this project introduced.
-
As a lifelong recreational sailor and a longtime subscriber to your channel, I'm truly enjoying the merge of your machining expertise with a marine application! Lovely collaboration between you, Windy Hill, and the UK engineering firm. Wonderful to see it all coming together.
-
Following this long and complicated tale of the re-creation and modification of the capstan for Tally Ho has been (is) really exciting, and a prime example of what YouTube can do. The combined efforts of many different YouTubers have made it a journey into forgotten crafts.

Good morning Keith! It is coming along nicely. Have a great week!
-
Keith, I'm in the UK and have been watching you, Leo and Clark Easterling (and his many helpers) for years already and am so so pleased to see you all, with Dave the Pattern Guy all get together and pool your incredible skills to make this project come together, and like a few thousand others, I am eager to see the whole thing finally finished. I am sure it will be a beautiful thing to behold. Love your videos.
-
Good morning all! I have been looking forward to this presentation.
-
Love your precision and calm delivery.
-
I should have been ready but yes I’m gobsmacked again, watching your videos is always fun. The gobsmacked the amount of people working on different parts of the project and parts are fitting together perfectly. The tally ho project has been a big one and so grateful you are able to help out and bring your masterful metal craftsmanship into it.

Good morning from Eugene, Oregon. Saw the successful casting of Tally Ho's winch. I'm looking forward to seeing your part.

I'd swap the brand new 65K lathe at work for that beautiful vintage machine. That's truly cool. Frag-eee-lee! It must be Italian! It's a grand award! The correct person was chosen for this project. So calming to watch a master machinist on an old machine. I once ran a WWII surface grinder that was as big as a VW beatle. Still cut a thou no problem. Thank you so much for helping Leo. I've enjoyed all of the capstain videos on all the channels absolutely just as much as Leo's videos. So damn good!!
-
I'm always held in great wonderment at the machining skills and scale that went into producing the war machinery of WWII. Makes my 1937 South Bend equipment seem laughable. Thanks for the well produced videos.

You could drill and tap the gear face so jacking bolts can be used to make removal easier.

Happy What Ever Day it is!😊⚙️🛠⛵️👍👍👍👍✌️

Dad, Mom, older brother, and I have all worked in shipyards as rigger, welder, boilermaker, and machinist. It's always good to see nautical content on the channel.
-
I love it when a plan comes together. Figuring the reason for the three jaws to not center the piece at first try must have been one of those ,well ain't that fancy moments.
-
Next time make some soft jaws out of aluminum next time you need to grab a gear. A big set of pie jaws. Turn them to size closed then you'll fix the concentricity issue before you start and hold the part with less distortion. I say this as someone routinely making parts 100s at a time holding tolerances in the 1-2 tenths range

Keith: I have been watching the Sampson Boat Co channel for six years. This is so exciting to see. I have been subscribed to your channel for about as long. To see you two working together is wonderful and a true joy. I am so stoked to see this get done.
