Tally Ho

[Rum_Pirate]

Just watched Leo’s latest video, that he put up today.
At 28:46 there is a side shot and I think that it is an optical illusion in that the water line looks horizontal but the roof ridge looks like it slopes down to the right, ie not parallel.

Are my eyes fooling me?

I think the waterline will be truly horizontal because he used a laser level to mark it, in the last episode. Therefore either the roof is not horizontal or there is a camera lens effect at work.

This is the picture that Doug refers to.

Is the effect an optical illusion caused by the sheerline rising towards the bow?

 

[Tradewinds]

I think he knows what he's doing . . .

 

[Stemar]

I think he knows what he's doing . . .

Indeed. Everything about the project suggests that - apart from not having the sense not to take it on in the first place!

All the same, I'm glad there are people around with that special kind of insanity

 

[Gary Fox]

I don't understand the question and can't see anything wrong. The waterline is intended to be as close as possible to the one Strange envisaged.
It isn't parallel to the sheer, or planking, or the coachroof if any, or to the tarpaulin shed.

( I have a curvaceous wooden boat, and it looks a totally different depending what angle you are looking from! )

 

[38mess]

I can't see anything wrong either, the water line looks in line with the edge of the roof

 

[agurney]

There's a slight slope down on the roof from right to left.
It's called perspective, as you would have been taught in elementary drawing/art classes.
The waterline is horizontal because it is at the viewer's eye level; extend the roof ridge to the left and it will "appear" to meet an extension of the waaterline at the (imaginary) vanishing point on the horizon.

Lens distortion is almost non-existent.

You must have good eyes ?

 

[Rum_Pirate]

OK so it is my eyes.

Moving on.

Do you think that Leo is currently moving 'Tally Ho' to Port Townsend now?

IE last two weeks resulted in a video 'review of all to date' in 27 minutes.
He now has nearly two more weeks to produce the next video if he keeps to his production schedule..

So I do wonder if he is in the process of transferring 'Tally Ho' to Port Townsend ?

re moving to Port Ttownsend, I would have though re-attaching the keel would take an episode on its own.

 

[Wansworth]

Working at David Hillyard for awhile the boss was called in to opinion on the sheer plank shape.He didn’t have much space to view it and in my opinion seeing it afloat was he got it wrong and the stern ran off instead of up.

Maybe that is the next episode?

Certainly help to stiffen the centre line

Who cares about the roof? It's a temporary structure. It doesn't need to be horizontal.

It's the wood roof not the plastic covered bit.

It was down to my eyes and an optical illusion.

Ah, I see. There's no saying that the hull runs parallel with the walls of the workshop and roof line in the vertical plane, so even if all were parallel to the ground there would likely be a visual disparity in a 2D photograph.

Probably would, but it's not a difficult task in itself, = sealing compound added, jacked up, bolts tightened, job done. There are enough people there to kill it

Well, the boat is in Port Townsend … (image from the Sampson Boat Co. Instagram page);



And the lead keel isn’t!

Yesterday’s episode saw the first and only attempt at a short cut and it failed…(same source):

 

[Rum_Pirate]

He replaced virtually all of the timber.
Even using two pieces in each of the frames instead of one.

Here he has removed the loose ballast lead in the bilges and was melting it to cast it on the top of the original keel.

He said original keel had at least one void in it, plus now several cracks after the pour.

In the interest of safety, piece of mind and longevity it would appear that the best way forward would be to melt and recast the existing keel.

Remember too that in future it is not only his life that will be at stake if the keel breaks up and falls off while at sea.

The floor braces were replaced - with bronze - completely different to the iron originals.

I think that the keel should be recast.
