  This is the third time I’ve watched this and probably not the last. Tally Ho will be strongest as the strongest seas out there.

  As a Bronze Caster & Sculptor with my own Foundry ( using Ceramic Shell moulding ) I am so pleased that you have gone with Bronze Floors and shown viewers the beauty and benefits of the Greatest Alloy ever made and how it is made. It's continued use ever since the Bronze age Sword making, through the extended use in Church Bells, Cannon Warfare, Bolt and even now, STILL preferred Propeller manufacture due to it's non-corrosive properties is witness to it's permanence in Human History. Many thousand year old Bronze Furniture and weapons have been recovered from ship wrecks at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, intact and even in pristine condition. It also explains why most Metal Sculptures have been and still made in Bronze. It's Gold coloured Beauty, Strength, resilience and Versatility may never be surpassed.  The 'Tally Ho' will live on for Centuries. Bronze is an alloy of Copper & Tin, whereas Brass is an alloy of Copper & Zinc. PS, I hate brass, in molten form it gives of poisonous Fumes, and as metal does not like machining, too brittle and has dirty Patinas. Then again I'm Biased.

  The time lapse sand packing followed by the slow motion hot metal work is incredibly well done.

  Agree completely about the foundry providing opportunities for new folks to learn the trade. Incidentally that's also why I started supporting this channel financially... wanted to contribute a small piece of the funds for paying your shipwrights. Seems like a worthwhile industry in an economy that doesn't always make sense to me.

  we are never bored, especially not with such interesting detail and explanations. It's very important to keep craft alive.

  Don't worry about us getting bored with the casting.  You just build the very best boat that you can, and we will be here to cheer you on.

  That Pete guy is worth his weight in bronze or maybe gold.

  Molten metal has no right to look like the worlds coolest milkshake. The slow motion was beautiful btw

  I'm sure it's been said before, but I think the real benefit of Leo's whole project is going to be for future generations of boat builders. The videos and the narrative I'm sure will be combined to form an encyclopaedic database of knowledge about the craft displayed that will preserve the methods, materials, and dexterity required to build, and perhaps to sail across oceans when the modern world, such as it is, has collapsed and traditional processes become what we will be gratefully left with.  I think Leo is a true visionary, and we are all fortunate that circumstances conspired to make this project possible.

  Don't question quality Leo. You are doing it right and the best way possible and you don't have to answer to anyone for that. Love the foundry work, love the resto. Keep it real Leo.
