Qué cubre este vídeo

The Tally Ho restoration project focuses on preparing the hull for planking by finalizing the transom, casting bronze floor timbers, and fairing the frames. The transom is permanently fastened to the stern post using 5/8-inch bronze rods, mirroring the original construction method.1:27 To ensure watertight seams, the grain along the plank edges is compressed with a ball-peen hammer to create a small hollow for caulking cotton, which expands when wet.4:01 Bedding compound mixed with pine tar seals the joints, while red lead primer protects the softwood splines from rot.3:18 Simultaneously, the crew utilizes a three-part sand mold and a pneumatic ram at the Port Townsend Foundry to accelerate the production of bronze floor timbers.11:49 These floors are ground and polished to a high finish before being dry-fitted to the frames and keel.23:30 The work continues with fairing the rabbit line and frames to ensure a smooth, fair curve for the upcoming planking process.17:49
