When you found the centre, if you had rotated the pattern under the jig and found the correct dimension from the edge again, when you have scribed the two scribed lines they intersect at the centre. Maybe slightly easier than using the square? Anyway, what do I know! Dave your videos are *amazing*, and I love seeing your craftmanship at work. Years ago, I went around the slate works in North Wales (UK), and in the tool shop the original pattern makers were still working for the museum and tourists. Your videos remind me of their work, and history. Many thanks for your videos, and thank you so much for helping Leo and the Tally Ho project.

Fellow Cleveland viewer here, great job Dave. Tally Ho’s new capstan will be fantastic!

Don’t apologize for being a normal guy. We appreciate your effort to make this part and show us your skills. Those of us that also have lives understand.

It's not the mistake you make, but how you fix it! Great video and great job!

Sir... don't worry about the video mistakes. It's Quentin Tarantino's job to make great movies, it's yours to make patterns. And I appreciate you taking the (not insignificant) time and trouble to teach us how!

I really enjoy following this series. It helps knowing all the participants. Clark, Kieth, and Leo.

Looks like you are a VERY busy man. Credo to your work ethic and help to Leo. Your list of things to do must be horrific. Enjoying the skill factor. All the best from New Zealand.

Nice job on constructing a perpendicular bisector...

Explanation of Engineering and knowledge of this bloke is……incredible, extremely pleased this has been saved….for all of US 👍🇦🇺👍🇦🇺👍

Makes you appreciate modern technology, scan part, download file,make necessary adjustments, fire up 3D printer and part done faster than you can say, ummmkay!

With your external time pressures, taking the time to make any video is very much appreciated. You also win at working in the most use of “all right “ in a sentence.

"What a difference a Dave makes". Really enjoyed your video! Thanks

speaking of a honey do list, time to go weld the 2 ride on mower decks, i will have to watch this later. i got 2 foot + tall grass on my 5 acres and the Australian Eastern Brown snakes are waking up.

Love the Bridgeport in the background, I used to love doing jobs on that machine.

good old hand work with the simplest of tools, been waiting for the update. :)

Perfectly good enough! I like the attitude.

So great to watch someone who is really good at their craft!

Thanks for posting and sharing.

Thanks Dave, great lesson of you and very interesting to see and learn.

Artisan at work !! Thank you 👍 👏👏

Great job! I bet YOU can’t wait to be the first one using the windlass to pull up Tally Ho’s anchor… Yippee Aye Oh Kye Aye

Very interesting but a tad loooooong 😊

great video, good work sir

So glad you've been doing these video for so long! This is GREAT stuff!!! I'm going back to video #1 and watching all of them. You've given a wonderful gift to those of us who want to learn these skills.

You Sir are a diamond. Sounds like you are burning the candle at both ends and the middle. Look after yourself, your work is appreciated.

Nice way to show us centre.

Seven words that make algorithms love you.

Top effort mate, fantastic to follow the process and your thoughts and explanations are easy to follow. Will be pleased to see the final product. Thanks.

Mr Dave Clark... I do believe we've had a beer or two together.. do you know a guy named Rob weiser?? He's a union carpenter there in Cleveland. He's one of my closest friends we used to hang out quite a bit back in the 90s. We both lived on the West side around 130th and pruritus.. love in the videos the tally ho project is taking up quite a bit of my viewing time lately.. I'm a long time Keith fan.. thanks for the entertainment and educational videos..

Another great vid!

Some great tips as well as an insight into your work.

Better pick it up, the anchor chain was delivered to the shop.

Man, you are a trooper!

Fascinating. Thinking three dimensionally ain't so easy.

Thanks for passing on your insider tips . And your outside tips as well of course , lol . I am fascinated with your methods and workings out . Thank you . And thanks for helping Leo out too ! Bless you Dave . Last week I showed my step grand daughter how to make a six petaled flower using a pencil ended compass . It blew her mind and hopefully that will , one day in the future , make her learn more a long those lines .... no pun intended , but there is the point , whoops another pun ! I love learning new stuff and teaching people who take interest . If the interest is not there or it falls off I loose heart ; that is why I would make a terrible school teacher , eh !

Sure takes a lot of time and effort. I am quite sure that the casting will be perfect.

Very interesting work !

Dave, your a genius!

Great job, man!

Been waiting on this video!

Great work!! Not easy, and must be precise. Nice job.

I was wishing I had a photo of what the original piece looked like as I would find it very useful to help keep me oriented. So I went back to the first video in the series and grabbed screen shots that I can refer to as you are discussing the internal ribs etc.

Great to see your technique!

Sir, your video is perfectly fine, just one sugestion: place your microphone a bit lower on your t-shirt, it will eliminate excessive beathing noise.

Thanks, I am enjoying this series. It is a special skill to talk into a mic while you work. We both lack this skill. I suggest you try less hard to explain what you are doing, and focus on showing why you are doing something. For example, the part about fitting the ears: you could just show us that the shapes need to match, and the trick to getting it square is to add a couple alignment marks. This will let you focus on what you do really well, which means it will take less time, and you will be less likely to make mistakes because your attention is being diverted.

Seems this dear chap is far better at doing than explaining! Although I got the gist of what he was trying to explain - to me it seems that all of this blank forming could have been created very much more efficiently using a CMC router following CAD drawing mapping. Alternatively, 3D print the blank. The result would be much more accurate and most likely take a lot shorter time fabricating. I see no point in following old school approaches when more modern approaches get you there that much more efficiently and accurately. Yes displaces old school craftsman but progress take no prisoners.

Great - some Tally Ho! related content - Leo slacked off this weekend so I'm very pleased to see this video up! Don't apologise for the delays - Leo has taken 6 years, and ALWAYS has two years to go.

I just want to see the pour and the end project .

All that work to make ONE piece! I was in manufacturing the last 25 years of my working life and one the greatest challenges was when a customer only needed one piece of something. How do you do it and can you charge the customer enough to make it worth your while?

Been looking forward to this video. Can't wait to see the finished product on the Tally Ho.

I have a feeling Tally Ho may launch before this part is complete!

Very cool! DD

11/16th 😂😂😂 as a German growing up in American world I’ll never grasp these figures…

Sometimes I use both superglue and wood glue on a joint to allow work to continue.

To find the center of a circle wouldn't it be easier to scribe two different diameters and take the intersection? One other geometry tip: if you want to find a diameter, instead of measuring across and trying to set a block halfway by halving the measurement, you could take any arbitrary square corner (right angle) inscribed in the circle, and the two places where the sides of the angle meet the circle will be diametrically opposite each-other. Concretely: take any large enough board or metal sheet or carpenter's square or whatever with an accurately square corner and straight sides and put the corner up against the inner top edge of the rim, then mark the two points on the inside edge of the rim where the angle's sides intersect, and then lay your straightedge between these two points to be a diameter.

Hi Dave .We don't want to learn how to become machinists .We just want to watch you make this for Tally Ho.!

Pattern Making... making all of the mistakes on the part BEFORE you make the part!

PS I was a little operator at the Cadillac casting foundry up in Cadillac Michigan for about 6 years before the American Axle shut everything down

Don't overdo it Dave, those are long hours you are working.I like the old school approach, the knowledge needs to be preserved which is the whole point of this channel. Talk of 3d printing is kind of missing the point.Knowing what to say and what to leave out comes with practice, ive had no issue following your narration. Keep it going fella.Kind regards.

Hello Alex in Australia in Cains north Queensland is a Tank Museum (Australian Armour)they restore ww2 tanks There's a video KZfaq on restoring a ww2 German stug tank ep number 12 to dismantle a gear box. they have a mix of oxalic acid and detergent bath. and amerce for 48hrs or more It works better than to much heat and a hammers? This is regarding you capstan. Ask the people who know?. Robert

Dude when I worked at the Juice plant here in Florida I was doing 16hrs a day 7 days a week and still getting called in on odd hours. Sucked. They fired me thank the lord after I got busted for fixing a machine myself. Walked home. Never again.

OH, IT'S FOR A DAMN BOAT.....

Master of your art, victim of your circumstances?

How much money does this guy have, envious 😦

Q. When you made your first line, why didn't you just turn the pattern roughly 90deg. and do another line exactly the same way? That would give you centre accurately and you're already set up for it.

🍓💪👍

Hello Alex enjoy your video's Question is the capstan winch complete as yet after all the problems. I hope you use this historical item and not give up it part of the boats history I am certain that's not in your make up or nature ?? Robert Australia

Unionize.

Why didn’t you just turn the cap under the straight edge a couple more times and mark it like the first time and where the lines come together is the exact center.

Just wondering,,, I am amazed that Leo didn’t lay down a date for completion,,, have feeling long over due by now

Now I'm really confused, wasn't the overall diameter 14 5/8? I know the cracks added a bit, but that much? Your approach is interesting

Great that you’re helping out here with Tallyho. B.U.T. too much talk talk not enough do do. Just sayin

I didn't understand what you were intending to do, and by the end I did not understand what you had accomplished! I feel you need to provide an overview of what you are making, with some drawings perhaps.

Being British we also use imperial measurements but when it comes to engineering and anything scientific we swop to metric because it's so much easier and a lot more precise than imperial. Really can't see why America doesn't swop too.

Wondering, the original part has all the sharp corners of the part you made today rounded to produce a casting with approximately a 1/8” radius on all those edges. I think you are leaving them sharp on your pattern. I’m wanting to know how are those sharp corners radiused in an expeditious and practical way if they are specified by the customer? Thanks for all you do! Keep up the good work!JIM❤

47:19 Your next video, edit out your personals. Send it to "True Confession "

chamces are the flies are being driven out of Canada by the fires.

God I wish he used subtitles.

Great project, But Too much Jibba Jabba

What happened to the rest of the layout with the dividers?

Why not use a laser?

thought Leo had a video person to do the videos? Have not seen much since.

Ladle operator

Hmmmm. December 2024?

We want to see you cut the pieces sand the pieces etc.. not just talk about what the process is and catch the tail end of each step. That is why people tune in to someone's channel.

Interesting, but---what are you making ??? Nothing was said about that !!! I wasn't around for the other parts 111

Too much talking, and not enough doing

too verbose for me

Um I’m saying um wing it and see what you’ve got double check your final piece.

this is taking way too long, it is only a pattern.

The whole thing about using dividers was superfluous, as you didn't finish what you were doing with them. You just wasted several minutes of time of all of your viewers by leaving that unfinished explanation in your video!

Boy, I have the feeling, if you would talk a little less, that Capstan would have been finished a very long time ago. 😂

Obviously this guy would be much better suited to be a talk show host than a craftsman? He doesn’t even shut up to breathe, surprised he doesn’t pass out from lack of oxygen?

Ask this guy "What time is it?" and he will tell you how to build a watch. Just sayin, Talk Less and do more!

you a lot of talking but we don;t see eneying thing dund

are you a bit late?

Talks too much...jeez

Listening to your breathing is quite disturbing

Why not use the original part glued together as the pattern?
