Congratulations! Your persisting paid the dividends. Well done. Can't think of any other KZfaq video with so much tension.

Leo and crew need a bottle of Balderdash for the next Duchess of Desire commercial, and to keep in that beautiful liquor cabinet on the boat. Great job by all on the capstan. American perseverance and ingenuity at its best.

No apologies required. Really appreciate seeing the effort to create another key part for Tally Ho.

I hope you put a witness mark in the casting or Keith will engrave the date of casting and location so in the next hundred years there is a record Thank you for such attention to the detail and keeping American foundry work going.

Congratulations on getting this done Clark. Your persistence paid off. I reckon Keith will be really nervous machining this one 🙂

Leo is going to be giving cruises to a whole lot of people for a very long time to pay back all this effort. Congratulations on this job, well done.

Good group of guys and don't forget the cook 😊 nice job everyone

many old hands make light work, nicely done and congrats to Clark and the team!

Hoorah! Awesome casting!

There is a famous quote from John Steinbeck's "Cannery Row"; "Why don't you just give up." It is very informative to watch you keep going after each problem pour. I don't call them a failed pour because they weren't failures, they were part of the process it took to gain the knowledge to accomplish to final results. This is a good lesson in perseverance. Thanks

I like this group of guys who just wanted to help. This is the epitome of a neighborhood community that helps each other and that's why I love living in small communities.

Congratulation’s! Good ole Mississippi and Georgia boys to the rescue!

You fine people produced an item that will be in use way longer than any of you will be around...That must be satisfying and make you proud in it self...Hundreds will trample and sweat and sing around that capstan during coming years.

Clark, Congratulations on your success. Despite all the hurdles and setbacks you encountered, You did it and it looks great. You’ll have the satisfaction of seeing it installed and operating on the Tally Ho. Good Job and hats off to you and your crew!

„Boulderdash“ fits right in with the advertisement Leo is running on his channel. 😂

God bless you, Clark, for your patience, persistence, and efforts. I know Leo appreciates it, as do his tens of thousands of followers and all your followers. Congratulations to you and all your assistants!

Nice work. It's clear this was a difficult project and it's great to see you have a lot of good friends to help out.

Watching from New Zealand. Well done, congratulations and cheers gentlemen.

Amazing work. In this CNC world, traditional techniques still have a huge contribution to make. Amazing work!!

That's how America was built : Patience and hard-work . Congrats Clarke and Team ! ..... you make us ol' boys proud !

Clark… and friends… I’ve no idea what your deal is with the Tally Ho project, but just wanted to say that you guys are heroes, contributing to a piece of historic, floating sculpture. Well bloody done! 🇨🇦

I followed the hole proces from Belgium (one of the marvels of internet), and loved every minute of that, despite the ugly comments from the desktop heros. I'm a follower and Patreon member of Tally Ho from the first minute it started, and try to follow every inch of the puzzle on craftsmanship that goes into this build. I wish that despite these young old guys😜, there was more opportunity and financial means for young people to follow an apprenticeship to these old crafts. I would help discover and make a lot of youngsters more happy, than to be forced into an academic career. And I think that this is one of the fails in our western society that learning a trade is not encouraged any more. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of what it takes to make something, that on the first side seems easy and evident, but requires years of know how.

Perseverance defined! Something younger generations could learn a lot from. America unfortunately should never have lost these skills. Good Job!

Congratulations! Love the way you work and the persistence to get it done properly, thanks so much for sharing the story with us!

Thank you for your videos. It’s always good to see smiles. That’s when you know the job was done right.😊

I think that your perseverance is amazing,and that the Tally Ho crew are down right fortunate to have You,all doing this for them. Well done boys well done!

Congratulations! Sorry for anyone that gave you a hard time with the video spacing. I think you did a great job and I always just happy to see your videos when they pop up. 😊

After all that you must have a real feeling of accomplishment. Congratulations to all of you.

Awesome job Clarke and the rest of the team! I enjoyed watching the videos and perform the problem solving needed to get a poured casting that met your standards of your foundry. Shops like yours are essential to historical restorations and I commend you for your persistence and determination to see this job done through to the end. I look forward to watching more content on your channel. The B17 parts sounds like it will be a fun watch as well. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you all for this awesome job. Patience in action! ❤

Amazing old fashion craftsmanship for an old world project. Tally Ho is even more authentic due to your nearly lost art of casting.

So glad to see this being completed! Your persistence was worth it, for sure. I'm looking forward to seeing it go on the Tally Ho. Congratulations!

Wonderful! Fabulous! Super Fantastic! Hooray to Clark and all the supporting crew.

Wow,! What a job ! Only you could have done,it it was at a,point of frustration even next to, impossible but you pulled it off , you and our business will always be tied to the tally Ho rebuild !

The agony and the ecstasy! You’ll be a prominent piece of a magnificent vessel. BRAVO.

Thanks so much, Clark and crew, for contributing to Tally Ho! I'm about five miles from where she's being rebuilt and can't wait to see the capstan on her deck! Hope some of you can come up here to Port Townsend for the launch, whenever that happens!

Well done Clarke, Looks great.

Great Job It good to see the finish work. Thanks for these video Clark I know that it took a great effort to finish product, and even more to do the video. My hats are off to you.

Thanks, Clarke. A man getting a hand from his friends. Nice.

Good job, Clark and all you guys that helped.

The more vents the better for me. 10 when pouring Sterling silver chopsticks. It/they make for a lot mor clean-up but finishing great. Lots for the files and rarely ever a fail due to trapped air being a problem. Awesome to see the win Clark. Thanks from all of us. What a great bunch of fellas there helping as they can.

beautiful indeed a great example of a "never give up approach! bravo Clark and your entire team!

This was so awesome. Thanks for sharing all of this!

Fantastic perseverance, well done!

Congrats! You must be so glad to send this one off. 👍 Anyone who thinks you would drag this job out any longer than necessary hasn't got their head screwed on straight

Very well done. A lot of hard work and perseverance finally paid off.

Loved watching you all make this a success - the giggles along the way and the talent you have together for 'gettin' it done!' - Thank you - Leo and his team will have a first-rate job for Tally Ho because of you and your efforts.

Great job! CAPtivating videos and very educational, along with some humorous moments. We'll keep watching.

Great. You guys should be super proud. I've been cheering for y'all. Now I'll look forward to Keith's channel and Steve's channel. It'll be super to see this installed on the Tally Ho. Cheers....

I had ever confidence you'd pull this off Clarke and having such a dedicated group of friends pitching in says a lot about them. So congratulations Clarke and now we look forward to seeing Keith work on this next. And don't forget Josie, I am sure there was plenty of support from her as well.

Loved watching all of this and all the machining too.

I cant thank you enough for your craft. It was a joy to watch you make this piece. WE got to see the difficulties and the joy of accomplishment!

This ordeal has been interesting both in terms of how casting works and how anonymity makes some people awful or just shows their true colors

Ooh! Looks great ! ⭐️

Congratulations everyone! Good work! Good to see it is done!

what a beautiful piece,,,BMFs you are

Band of heroes! Great team work and nice result! A memorable part of the Tally Ho story.

Yay! I bet you are glad that thing is done!

Congratulations on your persistence in producing a quality casting! Can you imagine the craftsman doing this casting over 100 years ago? Great job!

Congratulations on the successful pour of the capstan, I am happy for all of you on the team. We witnessed the epitome of determination! Great job and video. Tally Ho!!!!!!!

Absolute heroes one and all - staying the course through so many failures to the final victory! A superb effort that will sail the seven seas on Tally Ho! Congratulations 👏👏👏

It was worth the wait! Great job Clark and helpers!!

You guys are great. Now I can breathe again, what a fun journey. Thanks for sharing your skills!

Nothing succeeds like having friends! This capstan top has been a son-of-a-gun since Keith tried taking it apart. Great work in getting a fully formed, useful casting!

Congratulations Been watching the tally ho project from day one. New to your channel and Keith Rucker's Channel enjoy both of what y'all do look forward to watching more of your videos

Thanks for your great work for Tally Ho, I really enjoy seeing specialists doing their work and the intricacies involved in tasks that can appear so simple when you only see the finished article

Congratulations Clark! Proof of the adage, "if at first you don't succeed..."

What a great bunch of blokes to work with . They all have great big bellies and bigger smiles and good attitudes and a wealth of knowledge about metal working and of life.

Fantastic community effort Guy's, It's been educational and fun to watch you guy's finally get the job done, So from the deepest South Yorkshire England, Thank you all.

Congratulations on your patience, perseverance and professionalism! A great group of vintage Americans! Nice, nice burn there at the end. Hope all the deserving know-it-all-a-holes watched until the very end.

What a great job! Leo is going to be so happy. Can't wait to watch the B-17 stuff.

Well done 💯, way to stay on it.

Awesomeness Extreme! Way to Go. Congratulations on your hard work paying off.

You did it … and Got it done!! That’s All That Matters… And My Hat Off For You Fellas that stuck it Out 👍👍

great job team. That was a TOUGH pour for sure. Looking forward to Keith machining this down now.

This reminds me of The Wide World of Sports: The joy of victory and the agony of defeat! I think your equivalent of when the skier went off the side of the jump was when the side blew out! Congratulations on the joy of victory. Im really looking forward to watching Keith. I think it's an excellent idea to use one of the failed castings as a trial prototype to machine on first.

you are not milkingit. it is a huge job as it is obvious . great work 💥guys

What a bunch of guys!!!! Keeping this tech ALIVE!

Fascinating the work that goes into casting a part. Thank you for sharing this and being part of Tally Ho journey.

Woohoo! Congrats on finally getting a good pour on that thing Clarke!

well done guys ... now the ball is with Keith !!

Thanks for those very interesting series. We had an old foundry here in the village, and now i have some inside in the labourious work that was involved in making such complicated pieces. Thanks again and congratulations with the results.

I had no idea doing a job like this was so involved! Well done gentlemen!

Outstanding !! Great job!! God bless you!!

Awesome, great work dedicated to perfection.

The Best of America, when all we see is infighting and dissension. This is what made American manufacturing industry world-beating. Where are the youngsters to take the baton from these heroes? (failing is on the path to succeeding - all you guys made success happen) BTW 'eyeball it' means 'use all my long acquired skill'. Thanks!

Great work you guys. I'm sure you know this already but don't pay any mind to those couch critiques that seem to know how to do it better then the guy who's making a living doing it. Love watching the process to get to the final success. It mirrors life in that nothing worth while comes easy or typically the first time you try something. Love the videos. Keep on pouring.

Made me happy to see this succesfull pour. I learned a lot following this proces.

Well done. What a lovely bunch of guys.

Finally! The most anticipated video on the internet!

Congratulations fellas. Perseverance really paid off!

Congrats to all that were involved in this project, this was so much fun to watch to the end, bravo and thanks for sharing.

Congrats Been a long road to this.

It also amazes me how many friends you have. I've watched you guys seperately on You Tube for 6 or 7 years. The Tally Ho project made me aware that all you guy, and more, know each other. It's a small World.

YAAAA! Congrats.!! You did it!! Been waiting for this for a long time. Well done!!

That is some great work, gentlemen. Thanks for sharing

Clark and gang, you’ve done yourselves proud! What an impressive collective effort that highlighted for all of us who are not knowledgeable of foundry work the knowledge, skill, artistry, and persistence that it involves and demands. Your work, together with everyone involved in rebuilding and upgrading Tally Ho’s capstan, will have restored a historical piece of equipment that will, because of you, see new life for many years to come. Thank you from a long-standing Tally Ho supporter. I’ve greatly enjoyed your videos and have learned a lot. I wish you continued success in your profession.

Awesome job. The tension was getting thick and I was pulling for you boys! Great work and the mooncalf, armchair, Monday morning QB comments have been equally amusing - Carry on!

Persistence and more persistence,overcoming the overvwhelming frustration, friends who can help with a skill set and who can be there, always come through in the end! Time to get back on my impossible projects again...

Great lads! Well done, greetings from England.
