Marvelous video. So excited to see this coming together. I’ll bet Leo and his team are too! Oh to have access to those wonderful machining tools - and to also know how to use them so well. I enjoy your channel, Keith!

Another great video on the work and Expertise of the Tally Ho Capstand .... so much knowledge in working these machines .... I am so impressed .... ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊 .............

I'm not suggesting that your , or mine , pate is any more or less photogenic but have you considered wearing a nice engineer's cap ? Then you could sell them as 'merch.' , I could get 10% for this brilliant idea and your camera would not be so obscured....

While I don’t really understand how the end is being planned the videos are almost addictive. Thank you.

well done sir i like your way of getting things done the taper not for amateurs

From a small job to a big job, but handled with expertise…

👏👏👏👏👍👍

I certainly do remember the Lodge & Shipley. I've missed its dulcet tones. One of the first videos I remember was doing the head gaskets on the steam engine. I had watched that being done on a 2-8-2s owned by D&RGW back in the day, so the video caught my eye. It is good to see you and it working together again

I was going to ask if you had considered using the T slots in the chuck and making rudimentary hold-backs, but then I realised that the workpiece's outside diameter was about the same as the chuck body's. That clearly would not viable with a simple design of clamp.

It's always nice when the taper is such a good fit but you were clearly overjoyed at the results. I personally don't enjoy machining castings as at some point you have to take a leap of faith to establish a reference. This was a lovely casting to work with as there was a lot of meat on it. Great job.

Great job Keith. Getting close to seeing the capstan back on the deck of Tally Ho again. 👏👏

I'm starting to worry about dissimilar metals in a wet marine environment. Has this been taken in consideration. It might cause galvanic corrosion. In essence the cast steel will be prone to corrosion locally, where the bronze parts are mounted on the outside where it gets wet. When two dissimilar metals are combined in a corrosive electrolyte, the less noble steel will corrode. Maybe this can be resolved with zinc anodes....

It's awesome to watch you bring this to fruition @Keith Rucker! Incredible to think of the amount of knowledge, craftsmanship, and hard, elbow grease work that goes into something as complex between the mold making, casting and precision machining work you're showing us here. Bravo Sir!

Great explanation of the taper setup, was cool to see. I do hope you have saved a video of making those custom chucks.

I feel for you having to true the capstan head up 😊

What an absolutely gorgeous machine. Sweeeeeeeeeet!

What about the Key Way on the inside of the Old Piece, on the Spline?

😛😛😛😛😛😛❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I saw that lathe at a workshop Keith had a few years ago and it is a monster. Adam Booth was there that day and made a part on it. Mind you he had never seen it or ran it before but he dove right in and made a part on a strange machine. Adam is top notch. A lot of stuff for that boat has come from Georgia. When he first started he came to a south Ga hard wood mill and purchased a large quantity of thick oak slabs that went into it and now Keith is contributing a lot of time and labor going into it. When Keith says "I think were good" then it is a done deal...

Really awesome to find no voids in that critical taper for the main shaft. It's going to be amazing to see it installed!

Absolutely beautiful!

Awesomeness Extreme

Keith me ole matey; seems Leo is waiting for that capstan. So with all due respect, withdraw the finger man.

I heard a rumor the stoker engine case became an iron donor for that capstan cap. A fitting demise for the stoker if indeed a valid rumor…

Turning these large parts takes nerves of STEEL! I would be weary to get close with that much metal spinning. Great job as always, can't wait to see this finished.

Thank you Keith!

Another week😊😊

lol, you think we're good? no, I think YOU are good! :)

Gotta say, not blown away by the quality of that casting sadly (yes I watched the making videos). Keith has his work cut out for him.

Thanks for stepping back to the old work shop. Boy its been a long time. My best Tighe

How to adapt and overcome you are a very good at what you do thank you

The big Monarch lathe in the home shop doesn't have a taper attachment ... yet.

Again I learned, thanks kieth

*- Keith; After milling the bottom of the casting ["so I can get it to sit Flat"] {**23:54**}, why not mill a 1/2 in "true" zero point surface on the Inside Diameter of the casting bottom, so another millwright in the future could move the mounting chuck initial set-up to a precise zero point much more easily?* *- Is the reason you did not do that because you need all the thickness you can get for the bolt holes that you mentioned you have to mill in as a last step?*

Wow memory lane moment this video.

Keith, I have no idea if you've made any money on the Tally Ho capstan. But you've been a part of one of the most noteworthy wooden boat builds in history. Thanks for taking the time.

What an absolutely awesome job! Way to go!

Eyeballing works for the sandal brigade.

great series Keith, thanks for sharing. fun to see the museum workshop lathe again. cheers.

Eyeballing... just like the old-Old-OLD School offset pointer method ! (Still being effectively used by the YouTUBE Pakistani machinists! 😉)

I got to see the Tally Ho in person last week and have to say "what a boat!' They had it out testing the motor and prop for a couple of days. Can't wait till the sails are up!

How the heck did the original manufacturer manage to make these parts without the many special tools Keith has been using. Truly impressive workmanship.

Dial indicator on taper was really helpful to “see” the change. Thanks

that capstan will much better than when it was new, that happens quite frequently when refurbishing such historic mechanisms excellent job very good video

I always appreciate doing things the "old fashioned way" when it's good enough for the job. My own version of this was debugging a switch mode power supply using an oscilloscope from 1972, those things need a whole lot of calculations compared to modern digital 'scopes but it's so satisfying when you get it right.

Any word on the Stoker Engine?

Great machining demonstration. The capstan project is moving along nicely. EXCELLENT WORK, Sir!

Yeah, I remember you using that lathe a lot. I've been here a long time. So glad to see you making progress on this. You'll have it licked before you know it.

Thanks a bunch Keith, One step closer to seeing this done. Leo just included the Capstan waiting so he can start his sea trials. No rush though as he still has a ways to go before leaving the harbor. All kinds of those little things to check off his list.
