Tally Ho was built very similar to this animation, it's a great YouTube series that just passed 200 episodes. The care, quality, engineering, and process that goes into each step is lost on the 3D animation. You really need to see the chisel work and the lines drawn to get how it all works. Highly recommend watching all 7 years! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg-_lYeV8hBnDSay7nmphUA

Second this. Talk about a binge watch but the journey was so worth it.

The launch had me in tears.

For the uninitiated: Dude buys a rotten sailing yacht. Rebuilds it from the keel up, starting with sourcing the lumber! Lots of tedium and ups and downs… and oh so much amazing craftsmanship!

Spoiler alert: it’s beautiful.

I want to know what his plan was to complete the build if his YouTube channel/sponsorships didn't take off.

It took 7 years with seemingly 5-10 skilled volunteers, an (almost literal) boatload of free or subsidized products, as well as direct income from sponsorships/ads/patreon.
