That's Not Joinery....This is Joinery
Working on the deck of a boat this is one of the more interesting series on YT and is so well done. The joinery that has gone into this boat over the years is astounding.

Ive been following this for almost from the beginning and it is an excellent series. The bulk of the time is in planning, problem solving, template making and fine tuning, a true labour of love for the craft in both senses.

Many, if not most, shipwrights would dispute that statement, Chris.
There is undoubtedly some incredible woodworking in wooden boat building, but shipwrights definitely do not regard it as joinery. The big difference is that in a boat there are very few straight lines. In your video just have a look at the deck planking - every one of them is curved, differently. And the deck is not straight; it is curved or cambered.
"Any fool can draw a straight line, but only a true artist can design a boat."

When i went to trade school as a boatbuilder shipwrights had huge gaps in a lot of their work….there was always the banter about aweful joinery to which they would always reply……ya gotta allow for caulking……..

i actually just started watching this series myself, cause someone mentioned it elsewhere too
in one of the early videos he talks about a shake that he found in the keel, but which he's not particularly worried about, nor going to try to fill/fix like we ordinary woodworkers would, because he expects that when the boat is back in water again the timber will swell and close the gap, and if there were a hard filler in the way it would split the timber completely
i'm only about ten episodes in, but it's already fascinating how fundamentally different things are just due to the moisture situation being reversed, and i'm looking to forward to seeing what other things come up

I grew up around boats and used one every day, after building a boat it got put in the water to "take up" and become leak free and the same if a boat had been out of the water and dried out for any length of time. No caulking was involved, we painted them with tar to keep the timber in good condition.

I have been watching Leo for a few years. a great journey he is on.
I think he has gone beyond 'restoring' TallyHo but thats beside the point.
so many ways they source and prepare the wood. Different characters come and go withtheir different skills.____________________________
