That was lovely Dom. Never worry about doing something a bit different for the channel. We’re not all fixated with old bits of metal and welding 😂. It was great to see you both enjoying the show.

[@jsidorable]

An enjoyable combination artistry, craftmanship, natures beauty and.....a generous pinch of societal pretense.

[@everestyeti]

I could watch the stone mason all day, he was brilliant. Not easy being someone to life out of a block of stone, would loved to have seen the final piece. Glad you met your icon, not many of us get a chance.

[@Bawdsey64]

Thank you for showing the real Chelsea Flower Show, your coverage was in many respects better than that of the BBC.

[@liannebedard5521]

You two are the best ad for a vacation in the mother country…thanks! U S fan…

[@martinhaskell376]

After watching Chelsea on TV all the week you succeeded in showing so many incredibly interesting things that the BBC missed! Thank you!

[@grahamcuthbert783]

Envious, jealous, I have been just once, but it wasn't me! My sister is a member and I went as her husband and just to complicate it my wife went as my sister. What a lovely day we had and must go again. Great youtube video, thanks for the pleasant commentary.

[@marieeaton-smith5168]

That was lovely Dom, thank you. Lovely seeing Will. It is great to see another side of the Flower Show. It all looks so crowded when shown on the Beeb, your video looked so much better, thanks again.

[@stewartross1233]

I enjoyed that! Nice to see a side of the show thats not all about the flowers, nice balance.

[@peterpedroza6683]

Nice to see other areas of the show, things you don't see on the TV coversge.

[@theresabruno2452]

So happy to see Nick Roberson in the video! Loved seeing all the carving tools and watching how the sculpture comes to life!

[@jojorengers5368]

A beautiful video! Loved the copper art ! And the marble artisan also. I would love to see that garden experience but I will have to get a passport for England 😭. My ID pass isn't enough anymore...

[@kevingeary1870]

Nice one Dom, brought back memories of when I built one of the show stands 20 odd years ago

[@elainelewis1781]

Really enjoyed watching your take on Chelsea, its not all about the flowers! That copper shark was stunning!

[@blacksquirrel4008]

Wow, what a treat.

[@nilo70]

I like the change from time to time !

[@dartmoormancave]

Awesome. Great vid Dom, looked like a great day out...

[@peternyland7992]

Great change we need more

[@janinshirley]

Loved it Dom. Glad you got a clip of the Fishermen's Friends. The chap doing the sculpture was brilliant.

[@raydriver7300]

What a lovely interlude. Thank you for sharing your brilliant day with Will 🌞

[@davidberlanny3308]

That was a surprise, there really was a lot to see other than flowers. That coppper settee looked like it was made of leather. Very interesting to see the stone being worked with a very good and detailed explanation of the tools used. Well done and good luck from Spain!!

[@jeffb.2257]

Wow, now that was a fun diversion. Thank you for taking the time and showing us The Chelsea Flower Show and how magnificent it is. And so many cameo appearances, too. Brilliant!

[@1snakehips]

Well I loved it Dom. Never been to the Chelsea Flower show only seen the BBC highlights of it. Yours was more interesting and a nice break away from, 'Rusty bits of metal'. Thanks Dom

[@todmillard5812]

Very interesting. Great to craftsmen and women working with others.

[@bobingram6912]

You lucky person, 95% less people than on an ordinary day!!!!! An experience everyone should enjoy first hand, even with the crowds and the rain😠 Glad you found the Moggy!!! Next week sounding good👍🏻

[@whatdoyousaymrwilson]

Love gardening (my job and pastime) as well as metalwork old machinery and cars so this is right up my street!

[@marydavis8103]

How fun. What a great day. Thanks for taking us along

[@beornwhetstone2797]

Was a little hesitant to watch “flower show”…really impressed with art work that was there…definitely more than just flowers

[@pauliboo2]

That sculptor! Loved his tutoring and explaining his tools!

[@piervalsa]

that stone carver was amazing.

[@michaellane9873]

Another great video Dom.

[@karenbrabin1004]

"You've combed your hair" 😃 never change Dom we love you just the way you are

[@gavmungus824]

Love it! 👍

[@andrewdking]

That was brilliant. No rusty metal, but what stunning copper creations.

[@Georgeolddrones]

Love it Dom thanks 👍😂

[@davidmanning8329]

Cool! A video with Dom and Will! Wait, what are they doing again??? Surprisingly cool and enjoyable! Thanks for posting 😁

[@garrymatthews4430]

What a different take on the flower show, repairshop meets flower show, great one!!

[@damienpurcel7244]

Really interesting, especially the sculpting. As always, thank you

[@petervonl]

Enjoyed it very much, thank you :-)

[@grahamfry812]

One of your best videos to date. So interesting, lots of different crafts in a new environment away from the workshop.

[@richardwhatton1249]

An excellent video Dom, great to see Will and fascinating to watch that stone mason. Kind regards, Richard

[@lynnhaswell1690]

Really fabulous video Dom - I've been watching Chelsea Flower Show all week - loved seeing all the things you saw Sculptures and the nice Pears 😊

[@CornishMiner]

Great video. The plants, the sculptor, Will's banter with Sean Rafferty, and your infectious enthusiasm. 👍

[@brendawilliams700]

Looks like you had a great time. Great to see behind the scenes.

[@rogerbond7811]

That looked really good. An event that spans the the generations, Dame Mary Berry with school children. The beaten copper work was brilliant. Thanks.

[@Ozbert]

Nicer content than they've been showing over and over of the same stuff on the TV. Really liked the copper Chesterfield and the fountain trees. Nice diversion, ta. ; - )

[@peterthebricky]

The Chesterfield looked like it was made from copper ball ballcocks , no tittering at the back

[@nitt3rz]

What a cool video. The stone carver was so delightful to watch

[@neilgillies6943]

Great day out !

[@originalcolourz]

That’s Will Young in the white and red suit !

[@likeakite]

What a nice video. It was great seeing the marble carver/artist in action

[@HighPeakVideo]

Like how you mix it up with varied content. Another great interesting video Dom. Always look forward to your latest upload on Sunday afternoon - a treat.

[@andrewmarch7891]

Thanks for that; fascinating; particularly the stone carver brilliant!

[@brianmicky7596]

Hi Dom, Glad to see you and William enjoying the day, made a nice change, (back to work) All the best Brian 😃

[@steveo6944]

Loved the sculpting what a talent 👍

[@migalito1955]

Fabulous insight into the methods and tools of the artist creating the sculpture.

[@rambler241]

Just one word - excellent! While I'm here, I just viewed the video where you mentioned the Austin pedal car you restored. I'd seen a tantalising view of it in TRS intros . Out of the many TRS jobs you've done, this was by far the best. Glad you really enjoyed it too.

[@sueg1530]

Great video Dom. Really good to see some things we don't get to see on BBC coverage just brilliant, thank you xx

[@steverose1]

Good to see you taking a day out and glad you enjoyed Chelsea. It’s a fab day out.

[@davidquirk8097]

Thanks for doing that Dom. Chelsea Flower Show isn't somewhere I've ever been but it looked really interesting.

[@mattWallJsy]

Awesome video. Chelsea is always fun. Love the copper shark!

[@leslieaustin151]

Just as good as ever! But no engineering? A Morry Minor Van, all that copper-work, and the tungsten tools of the stone-mason? Plenty of engineering to my eyes! Loved it Dom. And Will making a special appearance too! Great! Les

[@jtucker7209]

Loved it. Always wanted to go and now even more so. You showed stands we don’t usually see which was exciting.

[@debrah7548]

That was a treat!

[@bobt3374]

Hi Dom that is a great day to have we went there once & it was amazing glad you both had a great time. Take care.

[@grandaded]

Even celebrity engineers deserve a relaxing day with the natural world!

[@busterboy7505]

That was very interesting Dom, thanks for letting us come with you, 👍👍.

[@kathpayne4364]

Loved it Dom thank you.

[@Point221b]

Nice one Dom, love the copper work....🤔

[@jeanb6862]

Absolutely loved this - thank you so much 🌸🌺🌼

[@Martin52863]

That was a rather lovely break from the norm. I genuinely don’t know how I’d react if I met Monty. I don’t get star struck very easily but I think I probably would in that circumstance.

[@diggerdelaney]

You cover two of the three likes for me Metal work Gardening and the other for me is woodworking.

[@andywarrington4738]

nice copperwork , cheers Dom

[@PeterGriffin-lh6wp]

Surprised that you didn't look at the large WW2 pilot sculpture..

[@DominicChineas]

I did! I got told off for going in there while the rope was down haha

[@ronpownall2074]

The Cherry Pickers looked cool in Green ;-)

[@nickalexander6773]

The man pushing the bike in the alphabet suit was probably WIll Young (singer). He was in the same suit in the Daily Telegraph yesterday (28 May) and is a very keen gardener.

[@DominicChineas]

Yes it was! I saw him later that day..

[@timgreen7409]

Like all of your videos, nice change of pace and content. Thanks

[@digitaIgorilla]

Yeah, different to normal but hey, we got to walk round a bit of Chelsea Flower Show with you and Will, so all good!

[@petergledhill7380]

Great video. It’s probably put the price of copper up😂. Btw spotted Will Young straight away 😁

[@GeoffRiley]

Ooh, I'm dead jealous:I was there on press day about 10 years ago… but I didn't have a pass and couldn't get it! 😁 Have to settle for the telly coverage, but your bonus coverage was fantastic! So good that you managed to meet Monty. 😆

[@peterwhitear7716]

loved it you'll have to go again

[@nickcockerill239]

Lovely content Dom.

[@charlesholder8009]

I had a great day out. Thank you.

[@nicholasbrowett6806]

Grest Chelsea is wonderfull

[@NailahRoberts]

It looks beautiful there.

[@lynnstone6998]

❤

[@charliecroker7380]

Well done for not wearing a suit. Suits cannot be trusted.

[@mikeparker3865]

That was great Dom. I was really amazed at all the cool things going on. A little change on occasion is a good thing. It shows your versatility as an artist and presenter.
