Woohoo! Thanks a lot Keith! The parts arrived yesterday, and I've been putting the machine back together this morning. So far, so good! Hopefully I'll be cutting some thread after lunch. Really interesting to see how you managed this repair, your scope of knowledge is very impressive. Thanks again - Leo

Its really funny when these seemingly disconnected channels that I watch all of a sudden do colaborations and it turns out that a lot of people do watch the same mix of channels :-). As always: Great video and a pleasure to watch.

Hi Keith, You do really nice work. As a 76 year old Tool & Die Maker, let me assure you I never was very good at Brazing Cast Iron. Pain in the butt to keep it from exploding. I'm very impressed with not only your work, but your extremely first class workmanship. Kudos to you for helping out the kid. I'd make him give you a ride when Tally Ho slides into the water! Best Regards, Rick

The collaborations between KZfaq craftsmen never fails to impress me. I can't think of a more hard working and deserving young man than Leo Goolden. His story and boat project is truly inspirational. Well done, Keith!

Leo might be able to flip those guide rods end for end and get away from the worn area.

Kieth, turn your tool upside down and run the lathe in reverse when cutting brass or bronze.This will keep the chips from spraying all over you and the shop.

Keith was nice to see you lending Leo a hand with his project. Great to see the collaboration! I’ve been a longtime supporter of Leo’s project and made the trip up to lend a hand a couple years back when he was tearing the boat down - we pulled old deck beams out as I recall.

Hi Keith, it really cheered me up to watch you doing great work for Leo's threading machine. I had no idea that building a wooden boat would need so much threaded bronze rod ! You've done a good turn for Sampson Boat Co, & I learned a lot about metal-work from your videos.

This fix is gonna be good for at least another hundred years. It was so satisfying watching Leo's team thread those critical bronze fasteners (there are hundreds) so effortlessly with the newly fixed machine. A lot more wooden ships will be built over the years using this machine, I bet!

I've been following Leo channel and when he mentioned you I thought "Wow, what a great thing for you to do". He picked the right guy. Thank you for helping him. I live fairly close to Leo and subscribe to your channel and his also, love them both!

Found you through following Sampson Boat Co. Love all the old school craftsmanship. Great to see that old things can be made new and get another century of use!

Keith, I saw your channel through Leo’s boat building webpage. Glad to see you are contributing and you have a new follower!😊😊

When I watched Leo box the parts up to send out, I knew you would like the attention to detail. It makes sure everything gets there, no torn boxes with parts spread from Arizona to Mississippi.

Thanks for helping Leo. He is doing something so unique and rightfully deserves all the assistance offered. Nice job.

Thanks for helping out Leo, I know he will appreciate it greatly. Cheers from Tokyo!

You "SIR", are a true craftsman. It has been a pleasure watching you work. Wouldn't it be a joy to have 20 young students in your class learning from the master. Thanks.

Glad Leo linked to this channel. Subscribed.

When the comments are so great that you have to watch the actual video second. What an amazing community these wooden boat projects create! Not just with Tally Ho and Leo but with so many others. Of which I’m sure so wolf the commenters on here are familiar with and a part of as well. Quite heartwarming. God bless America. 🇺🇸

THIS, THIS is what youtube should be for. If you don't know jorge sparve made a SIL and gave it to Tod as Tods Workshop, and the wonder of collaborations was reveled. It just gives me the feels to see the amount of cross pollination between makers and repairers.

I've been following Leo for while now. Great stuff. Had to see how the machine shop rebuilt the threader. You do have some fancy tools. Especially that double tapered mandrel and that adjustable reamer. I really enjoyed watching your video. Thanks. Press fitting .001" Wow. There is just something mesmerizing about watching a metal lathe take off shavings. Glad that are still people around who can do this.

Thanks for helping Leo

Like you, I also follow the Sampson Boat company project, but I wanted to let you know of my appreciation of the work and projects you perform at your workshop and demonstrate in your KZfaq channel. I grew up in my Dad's welding and repair shop where he undertook farm machinery repairs, often making similar repairs as you, although never making castings like you. But he did employ his blacksmithing , turning, welding, forging, and other creative skills almost daily. Keeping aging machinery and tools alive and operating was critical to his farming and rural clients in the 1950s,, so I saw and later learned, when I got to be teenage, to braze castings repairs as you completed. He forged, turned, and welded many diverse projects for himself, and his patrons. It is nostalgic to watch your show and kudos to you for keeping your well-demonstrated skills in front of a camera and your viewing audience. I also enjoy your verbal and visual skills employed while crafting your video. It's a relief in this no-repair era, sometimes due to the product design of the manufactures' designers, whereas old machinery is most usually repairable by existing and learned skills such as yours, along with the use of the equipment you've assembled in your workshop. Thank you for your work and skill.

Really enjoy watching the machinist videos on KZfaq. I don't miss a video that yourself and Abom (another KZfaqr) put out. It really demonstrates the importance the trades still are in todays society. We can have all of the university educated individuals, but if there is no one to actually do the work, society will be at a stand still. Keep up the great work.

I'm envious of you collection of Gerstner tool chests. I have only one but it speaks volumes about the ability of US crafts people to make some of the best products ever made. Yours look like they've found the perfect home.

Great video, great craftsman, pleasure to break off my Samson Boat viewing to watch you help Leo, Keith.

Thank you for helping Leo !!! I have watched YOU for years, but THIS is the First time I have seen your working for another UTuber that I also Follow!!! I have done Both WOOD (including a Kayak, why I am watching Leo: Water & Wood) as well as some commercial metal work. I had the honor of brazing Trombone Valves for the man who invented the First Brass Music Valve (Patented) since the late 1800’s. Mr. Ora Ed Thayer. His Trombone Valve is used Internationally, and by the FOREMOST BANDS of the World, including the Presidential Marine Corps Band! I also machined certain Brass & Bronze parts used on the valve, One weighing only 4 Grams was turned on his only lathe, a Seven Foot bed with a 12” swing: I drilled for a 4 40 brass screw! The lathe was powered by a Three Phase Converter, as his area did not have 3 phase commercially available power. I felt it such an honor that he accepted my machinists skills, I had mostly done only jewelry casting, smithing as well as hobby working on a TAIG Micro Lathe & TAIG Micro Mill.

Keith, it's super cool that you worked with Leo to fix this machine!

On your advice, I watched all of his videos over a weekend and I am very impressed with his devotion to the craft and I am also looking forward to his first voyage.

Thanks for supporting Leo.

Thanks for helping Leo out. You have a new subscriber

Came here from Leo's channel. Not disappointed.

I was watching Leo's channel and saw the sequence about his pipe threader. Then I found your channel. Fun.

Thank you very much for contributing your time and talent to Leo's project.

Thanks again for helping Leo at Sampson Boat Company.

Signed up on this channel, as requested. :-) And thanks for helping Leo.

You sir are a joy to watch. I have been watching Leo on his adventure and happened to catch you and your channel doing the capstan rehab. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to more awesome content.

Thanks for helping Leo out Keith.

Comments was very funny. I have had the motorcycle in the living room, bushings in the freezer, heated ABS for forming and metal for normalizing in the oven. Useualy with my wifes foreknoweledge and reluctant approval. She is a good sport.

A great epilogue to this project. Well done Keith and thanks for sharing!

Leo sent me. I subscribed. Now I love watching you fix/restore/build things too. Amazing!

Those adjustable reamers sure are handy!

No advice to offer, just admiration sir. Rock on !

OUTSTANDING, I wish I was there to put it back together. Hey Leo, I want my sticker, wink wink! lol

Thanks again Keith for the opportunity to look over your shoulder and have some insight on your experience. Hopefully Leo has a new Video on the weekend online so we be able to watch him working with the repaired machinery. Great stuff

Nice work finishing off the bushings for the threading machine. A BIG thanks for helping Leo out with the repair. Jeff

I LOVE the concept of a video where, instead of an unboxing, someone box's a shipment.

Two of my favorite KZfaqr's ... It's a good day.

Nice job. A pleasure to see a journeyman at work.

love the way you and Leo show us people are the clever people just determined people

Nice job Kieth. One thing, pick one...either heat or cold for inserting bushings. If you have access to dry ice or liquid nitrogen that’s the way to go, but most people don’t have that option, so heat is most commonly used. Putting those bushings in the freezer didn’t make much difference at all because as soon as they touched the hot material they warmed up so quickly any dimensional change was lost. The heat you applied done the job, not the cooling of the bushings. Keep the videos coming.

The heating and freezing reminded me of my own situation. Back when we were relatively newly weds I could put motorcycle sleeves in the freezer and the cylinders in the oven but now I am totally forbidden to get near the kitchen. Thanks for the video.

I watch the rebuild of the sailboat and came here from there. Very cool channel

Great work! Whilst sport is off it is a blessing to have videos like this to watch.

Thank you sir for the support of the Tally-Ho and the great video. Very educational and very well made. Please take care and stay well.

I am watching from Bangkokะ nice surprise to see Keiths video pop up, Thai's have a single word to describe all kinds of pleasure, it is Sanuk, Watching this with a fresh coffee is sanuk

Thanks Keith, great video. Leo is a very talented, ambitious and hard working young man.

Threading pipe is a violent action glad to see the old machines are being fixed I have my uncle's old plumbing tools

Fun watching your channel. Long time Tally Ho subscriber. That threader was way out before you got ahold of it and Man, what a difference. Great work, thanks for letting me peek.

Enjoyed the packing of the stuff more than I should have 😁😄👍

Bravo! What a great thing to do - supporting Leo and his project!

Good on you for helping Leo out. You gained some subscribers I’m sure.

Two of the best channels on KZfaq collaborating. It just get any better than this. Thank you for posting.

Great work man - thank you so much for supporting Leo.

It's wonderful to see a community of skilled tradesmen and craftsmen working cooperatively to help advance such worthwhile projects. Excellent efforts by all.

Thanks for helping Leo. It's great to see the collaboration. I enjoy both your channels as you're restoring useful machines from the past.

What a nice thing you've done, Keith. Cheers!

Love Leo's channel and your's.

It's cool to see 2 of my favorite KZfaqrs collaborate on a project.

Thank you Keith! Great work.

As always another great video and thank you for sharing with us.

Great video. Excellent machining. Thanks.

Look forward to watching Leo putting it back together great job Keith

Great to see two amazing craftsmen working together. I have a long time subscriber of yours and got hooked on Leo's channel after watching the first video you did repairing the part.

Another great job. Every time I get up to Sequim I visit Leo. Tally Ho is a monumental project. He's doing an amazing job.

Nice job for Leo - a deserving guy! Thank you for helping him out!

Hi Keith, Leo sent me over here. I really enjoy watching you work!

That was a nice job you did for Leo hope to see him use it on his next vlog love the restoration you do 😀😀🇬🇧

Leo's channel is incredible..... he is an amazing craftsman.

Nice work Keith. Have a blessed weekend

I admire your precision metal work.

I've been watching Leo's channel for a while and am intrigued by the woodworking. Being a retired marine engineer who did his apprenticeship with some truly remarkable old school tradesmen i appreciate your professional and knowleable approach to the problem Sir. Leo's job introduced me to your channel and look forward to viewing some of your other projects. Having all the right tools goes a long way to doing a good job..

Great work!

Wonderful to watch pure skill at work.

Great video!

Nicely done sir.

EXCELLENT...Keith....Very well done sir....Thanks very much...!

Very nice.... nice to see someone who know what they are doing.... did machine shop in high school (in the 60's) so it's been awhile since I have thought about how to do these things.... great job..

Again, thanks for the fine work!

Love your Work! Thanks for fixing Leos Boat !

Good to see how these things get prepared for shipping. 👍
