Making the Ranalah Signposts (with Honest Jon)

[@peterhofmann8292]

Honest John was just there to provide manual labour😊😊😊😊😊😊,but seriously the amount of work that is put into doing this is just amazing, especially given the time constraint

[@johndonaldson2606]

I’m retired now but I used to be a sheet metal worker and I can appreciate how awkward and fiddly trying to make those discs. Well done

[@moonstarer55]

I will echo what has already been said…..Use Ear Protection…..I now have two hearing aids! The small ‘spaceships’ are looking great. You are a busy man Dom. Looking forward to yr next video.

[@everestyeti]

Dom, your skill set is of the chart, wished I lived locally, so I could come and learn something.

[@cindercruz]

Amazing work Dom, so great that you've revived the Ranalah in such a great way!

[@george-1961]

You’ve got the patience of a Saint 👌🏻

[@sandramelville8736]

Just come across this ues i know bit late but i absolutely love the laugh you have with jon

[@RaceDayReplay]

can't wait to see these in person

[@terencefullick279]

Lovely video, Dom is such a role model for ingenuity, positivity, creativity and downright hardwork. Many, many thanks Dom.

[@VwRosstorations]

Top notch fella...👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@frankfanacht1838]

If I hadn't seen you painting these letters freehand, I wouldn't believe it ccould be done this way. Unbelievable cool!!

[@chrisgunn121]

Nothing like having a dead line to concentrate the mind....... Well done Dom 👌👊👏

[@twotone3070]

They are looking great and you're obviously having a great time with all of this, but one thing I take away from it is the pressure without any relief you are under.

[@johnmccanntruth]

I really like the signs, they look great and throw you back to memories of the past…

[@paulzirker706]

Another great job Dom.

[@Qspecialman]

Dom, for transferring the paper image onto metal (or almost any other surface for that matter) I have found over the years that using old fashioned carbon tracing works really well. It will wash/polish off easily afterwards.

[@paulbarnard5267]

Amazing! Great to see the Ranalah actually being used. I think the signs look fantastic. I hope you intend to sell them after the event. They would look great hanging on a wall in a store or a gym near the water cooler 😀

[@patrickhostler5939]

Man, there’s A LOT of (highly skilled) work gone into these!!!

[@nickmassey9104]

Who knew a Ranalah could be such a beautiful art installation. 🎨 well-done Dominic

[@honorw4125]

Loving the Ranalah video's Dom, I've binge watched them all to catch up. Now trying to get through the rest. You remind me of Adam Savage from Mythbusters who incidentally just mentioned the Repair Shop on one of his latest uploaded videos. Wouldn't that be fun, Adam Savage from Mythbusters meets Dom and the gang from the Repair Shop!!

[@thomaspollock4274]

Brilliant concept and execution !

[@marieeaton-smith5168]

So wonderful Dom, a thing of beauty indeed. Thank you.

[@grahamelvis6473]

Dom you need some "Cleco" pins to hold your drilled parts together while you rivet.

[@ejharrop1416]

As usual the only word is brilliant. You are a man of vision and I admire how you forge ahead to the imagined result. Thank you, take care and peace out

[@meirionevans5137]

Honest Jon, tells it like it is.

[@davidquirk8097]

I love watching you sign writing. Its a beautiful skill and you make it look so easy, even though I'm fully aware of how incredibly difficult it is to turn out a job of that quality.

[@davidadams007]

Brilliant Dom!

[@leslieaustin151]

So impressed by what you do... not by just the quality of your work, but by the breadth of disciplines you manage to master. Love it Dom, really love it. Thanks. Les

[@DominicChineas]

Thank you, really appreciate the positive comment

[@whatdoyousaymrwilson]

Great video as always Dom! I'm on holiday in South Yorkshire and just visited a place called Wortley top forge, it's well worth a visit if you're ever in the area you would love it! Loads of old industrial machinery powered by overhead shafts, and the old water powered forge very knowledgeable staff who gave us a guided tour!

[@Ian1957a]

Looking great, we'll done

[@nbrowne73]

I'll be at goodwood on saturday ,so hope to bump into you and say hello.

[@amazinplays7813]

Congratulations, looking forward to seeing them.

[@1Skymed]

Awesome !!!

[@ingmarrichartz9429]

Always amazed where you get the time to do so much………and video it all at the same time! Impressive and highly skilled too!

[@ddurose1]

Just a thought. Have you ever considered Cleco temporary fasteners/rivets? Might be useful for assembly-type work.

[@kevinball2517]

Amazing Dom

[@hanssprenkels8566]

Nice video again! We where visiting Beaulieu for 2 days. Massive show! We are going to Goodwood on the Friday. All other tickets are sold out.. I hope to see the Ranalas 'live'....

[@brianmicky7596]

Hi Dom, I Love it when a plan comes together, (don't forget to stop for a cuppa, stay safe All the best Brian 😃

[@DominicChineas]

Plenty of coffee don’t worry!!

[@PhilG0BVD]

They all look awesome Dom, amazing work, fabulous content again.

[@Derrian753]

Good idea to use the D-section around the edge, think a pnematic riveter should be on the shopping list🙂

[@colinartus1897]

you can get cordless ones now.

That English Wheel is awesome.... Great channel your channel is an inspiration to the rest of us rookie KZbinrs..... awesome videos..

[@jeffb.2257]

Wow! Wow! Wow! The mount of effort, talent and skill is impressive. Down to the last detail. A fascinating process to watch AND learn, thanks to you and your team, including Wendy 🐶.

[@stephendriscoll5138]

Brilliant Dom well done 😀

[@DominicChineas]

Thank you!

[@GPTEK]

Love your videos and TRS and the results are always impressive. Obviously this was shot a week ago and in light of the recent event and State Funeral on the 19th, I do hope that Revival still happening? Fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞

[@iangibbons7942]

Great work on these Dom! The custom paint jobs are great. If I could afford one and the custom paint jobs were offered I would be hard pressed to decide between RAF and the '60's one. 👍

[@TalRohan]

Dude they look awesome, Ranalah frames are fantastic, I wonder if you could sell them with those paint jobs, as one offs ........The space ships are very cool and well worth the fuss

[@Barnagh1]

Fantastic. You have mastered so many skills.

[@stephenblaze4571]

Great stuff Dom you make it look so easy

[@DominicChineas]

Thank you, I wish that was true! Haha

[@BenSonOfJohn]

Great sign writing. I don't envy all that riveting.

[@terrytopliss9506]

It’s coming along fine Dom.👍👍

[@rjay4197]

I loved the content Dom! Well done and thank you. 🙂

[@bobt3374]

Hello Dom. Well i have to say you do set yourself some tasks but they do look amazing. So have to say good luck at the show i thin people will be so impressed. Take care

[@dartmoormancave]

Hi Dom .....looking good 👍. See you there....will look out for you. Did spot you last year at the Revival......going the other way in the tunnel so did not get the chance to say hi. Keep up the good work...loving the channel.

[@DominicChineas]

Say hi this time if you see me! Thank you

[@jonathanb3458]

What a hell of a lot of work - well done - still like the RAF one the best.

[@lynnhaswell1690]

Great job Dom, nice to see honest John helping you- Sadly I won't be going to Goodwood as I've only just got back from visiting the Wealds and Downsland Museum and TRS this weekend 👌😊

[@marshallluddite]

Hi Dom, Was watching Channel 5 last night, million pound motorhomes tv show and spotted a Ranalah in the background of some guys creating and "airstream" landrover camper ! they had done a brilliant job ! Do you know Duckworth Overland, you should interview them on here.

[@RichardW001]

I used to use one of those nibblers to make mild steel flanges. I did hundreds of them lol.

[@mallockracer]

Your wheel was featured in the closing credits at the members meeting.....

[@stcowen12]

looking really good. nicely done!

[@ukzen9309]

Fantastic

[@jeremybateman2606]

Awesome vid. as usual.

[@noeldyne389]

Wow Dom, works of art Hope they travel ok 😳🤞

[@brendawilliams700]

Nice job Dom, as always. 👍

[@eddiehenrard5251]

Signs look really good Dom’, and showcase well what can be done with the wheels. A shame I live in NZ - freight for a Ranalah would be horrific!?

[@hermannstraub3743]

awesome! like it a lot.

[@brucedearden904]

Hi Dom, just watched make it extreme altering a Ranalah look a like wheel adjuster and thought of you. Have you got a spare one for me and how much 🤠

[@timgreen7409]

Thanks great video. If I could have a Ranalah it would have to be RAF style :)

[@karenbrabin1004]

God bless you Dom, ur always chasing ur tail, maybe an apprentice would be beneficial?

[@deserado11]

... WANT ONE!!! ...

[@olrenison]

Often if I'm routing a circle I will double sided tape/glue gun a piece of scrap in middle for the centre point to run on. That would work on your nibbler too and stop the centre point damaging the aluminum 👍

[@peterwhitear7716]

nice hub caps

[@negotiableaffections]

I know its your stock-in-trade, but that signwriting job would have me running a mile, screaming all the way. Extremely well done Dom, I am very impressed. The stories I could tell of needing a pro signwriter during my graphic design days, well.... And I noticed, only background music [no dialogue] when you were both on the rolling machine - is that because John might have offered to give you a 'male-appendage-extension' with a quick turn of the lever...?

[@TheOwlman]

Laser printer and acetone, that'll give you a line to follow.... Edit: ... not that you needed it! Nicely done.

[@schuttrostig5729]

Try to use copy paper that was used in typewriters to produce copies of what you write. Also a steel needle with round tip might work better than the pen?

[@adrianlynch9435]

To transfer the design - what about a small projector (some phones can do this) then a fine permanant pen to do the edge lines ?

[@DavePawson]

Love the lining Dom! Great skill. Tried carbon paper to transfer through to the Ali?

[@richardwhatton1249]

They look excellent Dom, a great job and nice to see John again. There is a visitor from Canada (I think) who has a You Tube channel “Richard Michael Owen” he and his father restore beautiful E Types and old XK’s plus other classic cars. He is coming to Goodwood next week and I think you would enjoy meeting. I guess you can send him a message via his channel? I hope Beaulieu was fun and enjoy Goodwood. Kind regards, Richard.

[@neilgillies6943]

LOL, think I might have gone for vinyl masks - at least you can fill it in by hand and make it look 'right' 🙂 Don't chastise me for my comment - you _are_ using a printout after all 🙂 Really nice and original job 'though - have to say the blue one is my favourite !

[@johnwadlow2617]

Hi Dom, On Sunday 11th Sept on Channel 5 at 8pm I watched "Millionaire Motorhomes". One chap was converting a Land Rover into a Motor home. It showed him working on the shell which was rather like an 'Airstream' in that it was made from formed aluminium sheet. It showed him forming part of the body on a bright orange "Ranalah". Can this possibly be one of yours?? Best Wishes, keep up the good work, great vlogs !!!

[@dpheaslip]

Use hearing protection. Please!! Trust me - you’ll be sorry in 30 years time. I am.

[@woodwardmj]

I concur! Pardon?

[@dpheaslip]

Sorry, what?

[@dpheaslip]

Actually, it’s the constant ringing that drives me to insanity. Worked in a wood shop from the 80’s before hearing protection was a thing. 😔

[@peterwarren8521]

Very true!. Hearing aids are not all they are cracked up to be..Great work Dom.

[@elliethenisekid9508]

Quality Dom , can I ask what paint and paint brushes are you using ?

[@jeremybateman2606]

Hi Dom, For transfer of pattern...maybe carbon paper would work?

[@TheCNCDen]

Nibbler is a fun tool but you could have had those CNC'd, already with clean edges, no centre mark to fill and ready to use. Then I'm biased 😉 You also need an air rivet gun or at he least a drill attachment riveter, it's so much easier.

[@rogerdavis5914]

Great stuff again Dom but how the hell do keep going? 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@DominicChineas]

This is testing me!! Haha

[@kwiebusch]

Lasercutter? The curve would be something to think about though.

[@David_11111]

what paint did you use ?

[@piphawk]

Brilliant! Great work! Have you tried using chalk markers (liquid chalk)?

[@tonymorton1558]

Did you try carbon paper to transfer the image onto the aluminium

[@keithallen4313]

They look stunning. I take you are going to have to burn the paint off to build them in finished machines.

[@PeterJewell2]

On the previous video he said they would be shot-blasted again. (That is, assuming he isn't persuaded to sell them as-is!)

[@joell439]

👍👍😎👍👍

[@andrewpywell3510]

Beware nibbler shavings and dog paws don’t mix, the voice of experience.

[@digitaIgorilla]

How to transfer a pattern to a curved aluminium surface... hectograph carbon paper? Give it a try, let us know how you get on.

[@jonno7910]

Is it true Dom, that u r leaving TRS ?
