Yeah I've been watching DangarStu for a while now... been enjoying his vids meeting up with other tubers while on his US trip.

Harry Metcalfe of Harry's Garage started a new channel about a month or so ago called Harry's Farm. I've really enjoyed what he's been doing, he gives a great insight into farming:

After doing holiday jobs on a few farms, I knew this was what I really wanted to do. After 4-years of study at Shuttleworth Agricultural Collage in 1980, I left with an HND and a job as a on-farm grain-buyer in the Beds and Bucks area with a company called Grainec. I loved this job but I still wanted to be a proper farmer one day, so started taking on small parcels of grassland and buying ewes with lambs at foot to fatten up. I soon discovered sheep farming was too time consuming to keep the day job so turned my attention to taking on arable land, using contractors to work the land to allow me to expand quicker.
I'd noticed a few of the farmers I was dealing with felt trapped on their farms because it was impossible for them to take time off, so I offered to take the land on for a year to give them a break. The first farm I took on was 242ac in 1985, by 1990, this has grown to over 1000ac. Evo came along in 1998 after a lucky break and the farming(now 2000ac) had to take a back seat

A Bugatti was offered at a high end auction in England with the catalogue notation that it is "believed to contain a number of original components".

Far too philosophical for me! But having had to study marine building along the way, and having worked with a couple of old school "chippies", he has to be admired both for his knowledge of old construction methods, plus the preservation and use of old tools.

I have not been following this, but it appears that the complete keel has been replaced? He did mention using the original lead ballast part of the keel, but the timber itself appears to be new. It is one thing to replace old planking, even frames, but a keel is the heart of any ship, and throughout the ages of wooden ship construction, the placing of the keel is next to sacrosanct. If you tear the keel out of a ship it is now dead!

It is entirely his call, but to me I think that I would call it: "Tally Ho 2"

Yep, always enjoy Mike's vids. He's down to earth, clever and funny. I miss Rupert though.
