“Oh, and there’s also this other system of measurement that uses metric division of inches”

I haven’t watched it yet, but in my apprenticeship they referred to decimal inches and it was simply a case of referring to the fraction at the end as a decimal ‘percentage’ of 1

1 and 1/4 would be 1.25
1 and 1/2 inches is 1.5
1 and 3/4 would be 1.75
The 8ths and 16ths is where it gets a bit harder
1 and 3/8ths of an inch would be 1.375
1 and 9/16ths of an inch would be 1.5635

they referred to decimal inches

If ever it were needed, tacit agreement that the metric system makes much more sense, right there…

Clark really started something when he polished that first casting…

especially for the floors, being almost never seen and covered in 6 inches bilge water 😀

he (Leo) doesn’t seem enough “OCD” for my liking! knees should come in pairs!!!!

That parrot 😎

I really enjoyed that one just now. Next couple of episodes she will really look like a boat…

Go Pete! – Loved how articulate he was when talking about something that’s a bit more than the usual “Hey Pete! Watcha doin’ ?” type comments. Seriously skilled bloke.

I’m curious to know what the significance (if any) of his finger tattoos is – ‘STUMPED!’ ??

Note to self: go to episode one of this, and watch it all the way through!

The best episode ever was milling live oak for the frames in Georgia. The miller’s accent was something else.

As was his mill.  I’m so glad these people are around

Agreed – that was a fascinating episode

What happened to the other videographer he was getting to help? Did that not work out?

No he left.

I want to know what happened to the chap early on who helped set all the procedures up and made some of the benches

Hey Pete, what are you doing?

Well that’s quite an episode!  I guess we now know what the tattoos are all about

I guess we now know what the tattoos are all about

Absolutely!

What a guy – I had no inkling.

i need my fix !!!!!!!!!

this really is one of the great things of the internet and that was a lovely episode.

Leo’s Instagram said he’d been ill (not covid) so didn’t manage to get an episode out. Get well soon Leo (I’m sure he reads this thread)

yeah!

Oh yeah – really seeing her hull shape now.

The best episode ever was milling live oak for the frames in Georgia.

Certainly was, but I thought the earlier ones of him cutting the keel were the most interesting.

Mount chainsaw to home made jig. Sit on timber and pull running chainsaw towards you. Honestly I was waiting for him to lose a leg watching that scary technique in action.

leo’s such a tart

chainsaw can, help you with this

Utterly exasperating situation.

which neighbour do we recon ? the new house leo mentions is in the eastern plot next door.

oh dear NIMBY ahoy

What an arse! Poor Leo.

I’m glad I don’t have neighbours like that though.

On the plus side he’s going to get a lot of press coverage and his followers are going to increase.

Lets hope one of his followers is a lawyer who helps him out.

It must be sad when that’s all you have in your life and you’ve nothing better to do with your time.

Good luck Leo (with a capital L)

lots of new patreon supporters signed up today. hopefully that will pay for legal fees.

Mary Ellen Winborn, the elected director of Clallam County’s Department of Community Development, said Goolden can raise funds for the Tally Ho.

“That’s the part that was put in the letter (to Goolden) that I did not approve,” Winborn said in a Monday interview.

Sounds strange – What does she mean by that?

Sounds like some politics and playing power.

IMO it’s sounding like how best move is to move, to somewhere that wants the project and has all the permissions.
He’s got more funding and support, take it to a shed/marina/shipyard that can home the project.
Otherwise he’s going to spend as much effort fighting the county and neighbours.

I get the impression that he’s reluctant to move the boat in its current state – he’s got it all set up true where it is, and once the planking and decking is finished she should hold her shape, but until then, I don’t know how stable she is – might settle differently if moved.

(Plus he’d lose that awesome workshop!)

Sounds like he needs to apply for the permit at the last minute and drag out proceedings, but keep working in the meantime in the hope that she’s in a state to move before they close him down. I’m sure he could do without the hassle!
