Leo’s original plan was to alternate doing professional work vs. working on his personal project. But he also didn’t originally expect to completely rebuild every part of the boat.
I think it’s great that he can now afford to hire another professional shipwright to help, buy whatever tools and materials he needs, take the time to make high-quality videos, etc.
I’ve learned a lot from watching his videos and I’m happy to chip in a few bucks per month (as apparently are many other people).
- oh_sigh 6y agoRight - in a few of the earlier videos you see him saying he is taking time off to go be a bosun or something and save up some cash. I was really just making my comment in relation to the "obscure" context which the original article is about - once you're making multiples of the average family income from your video content, I don't know if you can be considered obscure any more.
- halbritt 6y agoIn Leo's case, he's obviously using the income to advance the project in ways that he couldn't otherwise, and for that, I really appreciate the revenue he's pulling in. For others, Colin Furze, for example, I'm left wanting.
