What this video covers

Leo Goolden continues the restoration of the 108-year-old yacht Tally Ho by installing the first pair of intermediate frames in the vessel's center section.▶ 5:13 To ensure precise alignment, Goolden uses a laser level to verify that the frames are plumb and square to the centerline.▶ 4:50 He employs a custom-made offset tool to transfer buttock and water lines from the lofting floor onto the new frames, accounting for the specific bevel and planking thickness at each position.▶ 11:32 A temporary beam, notched to fit around the beam shelf and planks, ties the top of the frames together and serves as a reference point for the centerline.▶ 4:03 The project also involves replacing the oxygen heater sensor on a support truck, a repair Goolden performs for $70 in parts rather than the $400 quoted by a local garage.▶ 7:30 The workshop team utilizes a Festool track saw to cut frame butts, contrasting the modern power tool with the century-old ship saw used for other tasks.▶ 16:10
