Here's an easy watch of the fabrication for the two final ingot mold shapes for Tally Ho's internal ballast. As you all now know, Leo and his crew are on an accelerated timeline to get Tally Ho in the water. Not quite sure of how tight a schedule but sensing that it was more than a little urgent I did my best to get these done and into the mail. There were a few comments on the Prototype video I put out a couple weeks ago about engraving or adding material to the mold to cast the boats name into the ingot which I appreciated. I had asked Leo about that when he first sent me the drawings and he indicated that it might be kind of neat to have TH 1910 in a couple of the molds. I took a couple of tries with different methods but wasn't happy with anything given the time I had. I also felt strongly about leaving a mark that would be hard for Leo to opt out from if it didn't meet his expectations so after mailing the last set of molds I found a bit of time to create a solution that still gave him an option but only if he chose to use it. I probably would've spent more time on it if it was available but I felt timeliness was more important and that I should get it directly into the post as well. It's his to use or not with no concerns or obligations on my part and having been massively overbooked this winter I just enjoyed the time in the shop that I spent making it.

Although this might seem a little backwards given the size of Sampson Boat Co's platform I realize that I do have a small but steadily growing platform here that you all have created, and if you enjoyed this video and you haven't already that you might consider subscribing to the Tally Ho project here ​⁠@SampsonBoatCo and also consider looking at his Patreon here;   / sampsonboatco   It really is an amazing channel and the quality of his videos are truly spectacular. You won't be sorry that you did.

As always, thanks for watching and hopefully I'll see you all with my next video.

Thanks,
Jake
