Great video Dom. You are an amazing artist and an inspiration for so many young craftsman and woman. keep the old skills alive my friend. see you soon.
Great job with the ranalah’s, Dom.
Nice to see them being used.
I trained as a plumber 30 years ago here in Copenhagen, and we had a ranalah in one of the workshops, all original parts. The blacksmith’s used it all the time, I remember.
I made a fruitbowl that I had silverplated for my mum on it as a side-project, which she still has.
Great video, perfect setting and lovely to see the old skills continuing down the generations. A very proud moment indeed...! Congratulations !
Dom, you're a massive inspiration to young people to get involved in practical skills. We've lost much of our manufacturing in this country due to the insistence on university education; but that doesn't suit everyone so many young folks are floundering in academia when their real place is in the workshop or construction site. Brilliant video.
Agree completely…. I went straight into Industry when I left school, wasn’t academic at all. In my area there was loads of choice and opportunity career wise. Engineering, footwear industry, textiles and printing to name a few. Mostly gone now and it’s a real shame !
When I was a kid, my Uncle came home to CA USA from England where he had lived for years after WW2. He brought with him his english bride, who had been his nurse in the military hospital after being wounded. He also brought 2 cars with him. His wife's, 61 Austin-Healy Mk1 Sprite in green and his almost brand new 65 Cortina GT in red. I always loved the head lights of the Sprite and the tail lights of the Cortina. I noticed several of the Cortina's in the video, couldn't say whether Ford or Lotus. Just brought lots of fond memories seeing those tail lights. Great show all a round and your work is paying off! Thanks for letting us troop around with you!
You have worked so hard Dom and achieved an absolutely fantastic result. What you have produced is incredible and you deserve all the praise that is already evident in the previous comments. All I can add is I agree with them all.
Congratulations on your epic achievement and success at Goodwood. The inspiration of the young crafters is awesome to see. The future is in good hands. The event has been a bucket for a long time too, smeday I hope. All the best, take care, thank you and cheers!
Thank you Dom for the tour of Goodwood. What an event !! Great to see your Ranalahs on display and in action. Respect to the pedal car guy. A lot of time and money has gone into that business 😬.
The 'Wheel' was such a massive improvement over having to hammer every curve and bulge into sheet metal. The Aircraft and Automobile industry would have lagged terribly without it! So nice to see an iconic piece of machinery being brought back to life. It would be nice to see how the wheels themselves are made...👍
They look gorgeous, you should be so proud of all that you have achieved with this project. The colours are just so lovely too. Well done you.
Well done Dom, its been great watching your journey. Wishing you every success mate.
Excellent production Dom, great location, capturing the atmosphere of the cars and public all looking wonderful.
As a side note the editing and sound worked perfectly make this a very enjoyable watch. Good work by all evolved.
Just watched you on the repair shop saying you did a degree in graphic design so l messaged my son who's just started at AUB doing the same and said maybe you will use my tools after all , l hope so.
Simply, - well done Dom, on every level!
Excellent! Trade skill revival is a must and what a great way to present & inform. Also, that was a nice/quick overview of GW Revival. Now to dig into the races!
It's been a long journey from that wet field where you found the first Ranalah. Still they are tough things to have survived so long and have done so much work over the years. Well done Dom!
Just all round fantastic vid and so much great exposure for the Ranalah in the perfect setting. We’ll done pulling this off Dom, it must have been so gratifying for you and worth all the hard work. I’m so pleased I’ve watched the whole story from day one. Loved seeing the one in the Heritage Skills centre being used. Just all perfect!
Great Dom. Your book is coming soon I think. I have it on preorder. The last time I went to Revival, the weather was so bad, I and many, left. Glad you had a good show.
Congratulations on a job well done Dom. Wishing you every success for the future with Ranalah and all your other endeavours
1000 / 10. Absolutely loved this !! Fantastic !! From New Zealand.
Thanks so much!
68.6k .... Dominic an American channel .... crucible coachworks ... has featured a Ranalah in his latest content , I left your channel in the comments & hope it drives traffic to you
That’s amaZing thank you, I really appreciate that!
Another great video Dom!
Keep making.
You may well enjoy this modern musical commentary on the 1950s/60s phenomenon of Pop culture.

Really interesting. The Revival looks fantastic and your view reaally helps. On Discovery Channel, I saw a program called Buy It, Fix It, Drive it and one of the presenters, Sam Lovegrove, was using a modern English Wheel to produce panels for a 1930's Sunbeam.
Well done Dom, a great achievement getting all the machines painted, looking fantastic and delivered on time. The video was excellent and it looked like great fun. Many thanks and kind regards, Richard.
We’ll done Dom, you really deserve all the praise that was being healed upon you. So nice to hear people being so positive about the Ranalahs, and especially nice to see people actually using them.
Thanks so much
Dom did you get my email via Fiona reference the Ranalah in Bath with loads of wheels!
I’m not sure, my email is domchinea@gmail.com if would would resend it?
Really enjoyed watching this. A visit to Goodwood is a must. It's great to see all the hard work you have put on start to pay off. Great to see young people being inspired and learnng how to develop the skills we will so desperately need to keep our heritage alive.
The coolest thing was the "Revive and Thrive" area great imitative to bring these skills back👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great video dom fantastic work. DOM could you not incorporate a taped lifting eye (removable)into the top to save the paint work.!!??
Well done Dom, great video and great to see you promoting the heritage skills and keeping the Ranalah name alive.
The USA Mike Rowe of the UK. Well done mate!!
Next to Rowan Atkinson in the flash suit was Duncan Pittaway, he owns The Beast of Turin amongst many other cars. Next to Jenson Button is a very disappointed Adrian Newey.
The UFO crash was my favourite part of the Revival, totally unexpected and very well role-played by the team there
Brilliant Dom! The Ranalahs seem to have gone down a storm, not least because of your enthusiasm. Well done mate, you deserve a huge pat on the back.
Brilliant Dom certainly made all the hard work worthwhile, great video to watch as usual 👏👏👏
Well done Dom, wonderful video, and many, many thanks for all your incredible hard work, to make it happen.
Not only Jenson Button, but also Adrian Newey - an amazing F1 aerodynamicist who still does all his designs on a drawing board with pencils and squares. Talk about keeping the old skills alive!
That's what I saw indeed. Great craftsman!
Dom, if you watch the only film on the story of the TSR2 you will see a wing section being formed on a Ranalah.
Wow I've just added the goodwood's revival to my bucket list
Surely not 3p for the first mile, but 3d.
Another cracking video Dom. The Ranalahs hanging from the crane was a trifle nerve-racking though!
Dom
Totally awesome as always
Your passion and enthusiasm for the craft of restoration is inspiring.
Like you I love to get hold of a project and make things work.
How do you fancy finding out more about restoring a Hawker Typhoon to flying condition!!
I’m a supporter of RB396 which you may have heard of?
If not check it out.
It would be right up your street. 👍🏻😎
Austin J-40 are back! That is great news We have one that needs a few bits. Thanks for sharing. Great video too.
Wonderful to see all that Heritage being celebrated. I wonder if there was a tea shop out there talking about the wonders of proper British tea. I heard a most disturbing news report the other day that sales of Tea in Britain have been on the decline for several years as people, again, surrender their heritage - this time in favor of coffee. As an American, I drink coffee aplenty, but I've always looked forward to going to England and having a cup of Earl Grey. It's a shame to hear that folks over there are letting something they're famous for slide off into the mists of time rather than proudly standing firm against the assault of globalized homogeneity.
I've never thought of tea as a heritage drink! Sorry, although I'm English, I'm not going to ditch my coffee to try and preserve this bit of our history -- can't stand tea, think it tastes horrible! (But, each to their own!)
@@PeterJewell2 It can taste horrible, just like coffee. It's all about how you brew it. Sadly, too many people don't pay attention to the details and either over-boil the stuff or add too much sweetener, etc. Or it could just be a horrible blend of tea to begin with.
As an American, I can promise you that Tea is something quintessentially British. It's like the French and their cheeses, or the Italians and their pasta. One simply goes with the other.
While on this side of the pond we drink Iced Tea (the only truly proper way to drink tea), I've seen more than a few people ruin even that. It's almost like a some kind of race to see how horrible they can make the stuff, filling it with pounds of sugar in an attempt to disguise the burned flavor.
Coffe at truck stops is much the same.
Tea and Britannia? I can't imagine anything else. Billions of people are alive today because the British people popularized the drinking of tea. Before that, folks died in droves from waterborne illnesses and the only safe drink was stuff that had alcohol in it. That's why you saw so much trade in wines and beers, even "watered wine" was infinitely safer than simple water.
There's even a school of thought that America would never have been founded if Tea hadn't been popularized. Scientists and historians have discovered that the caffeine 'high' that tea produces is much less harsh than what you get from coffee, and there's no dulling of the senses like with alcohol. This is why you saw a lot of the great minds of the 1600's and onwards meeting in Tea Houses.
The world owes Britain a very great debt of thanks and I hate to see the people turning their backs on Tea nowadays. Culture and Tradition mean something. It might sound silly, but I find it borderline criminal that I can see the same clothing whether I'm in Idaho or Ireland. There's something very special about being able to watch the old films and see British roughnecks and factory workers taking their Tea Breaks.
Great to hear Lord March compliment you on the Ranalah, I think they may be a permanent fixture going forward which is good news, well done on promoting the brand
Great video, I’ve bin many times as supplier/ consultant to the flying school or just a classic car but visiting. Nice one Dom
Watching through your ressurection of this company, I do think it's not going to be much of a success. Not saying it's not a product worth resurecting at all.
You diligence to totally recreating the original, down to using the same nuts and bolts, is foolhard, unless your looking to provide spare parts to the originals. Standard thread patterns have moved on significantly, and other than prehaps the leadscrew moving the lower wheel up and down, the fastener choice between historically correct vs modern standards is irrelevant, and thje former significantly costs more.
It's also a machine with a very small market, and the price I see your asking(not saying it's not fair given your costs and profit needs), makes it unlikely to gain widespread adoption amongst hobbyist's, and there are very few industrial concerns even considering such a labor intensive process. A hobbiest can pick up a beginner grade English Wheel for US $150.
I wasn’t able to come over to the UK but i did watch the live stream the whole weekend.. ow what a great time i had!! And those Ranalah’s seem to fit in perfectly!! Well done and much ❤ from 🇳🇱
Great video, great event. We went on the Sunday and I think i found all the Ranalahs, made my wife take my picture in front of a couple :)
Amazing paintwork on those Ranalahs! Bravo Dom!
Stressful project for sure. Maybe make a batch out of fibreglass, for display purposes?
I have just watched this video and it is fabulous, I have to mention that I live less than 200 yards from the old Austin J40 factory in a little village called Glan-Y-Nant, Hengoed Mid Glamorgan South Wales. My wife’s late uncle worked there after a accident in the local colliery.
Brilliant video Dominic. Wonderful to see that you are making proper machines that rely on human skills, not a load of silicon chips however 'smart' they may be. I should have been at Goodwood this year but ill health prevented me. However,on Sunday I will be riding my old Ducati with handmade aluminium bodywork which would have been made on such a tool as this. Pardon my ignorance but are they also known as English wheels? Thank you for keeping craftsmanship alive, by the way who was Ranalah?
Ah, the heritage skills academy, I first inquired in 2019 on behalf of my son who was at school but was very keen to work in the particular line of work the academy was set up for, three times they had my sons details, and not once did we receive so much as an email, I even personally spoke to the person in charge of HR at Bicester Sunday scramble, asking why no contact, I was told he would get a call first thing Monday morning, never happened. It makes me wonder how the young people in this film actually managed to enrol. Rant over.
Dom
My trimmer did my J40 interior including a fitted rear edged carpet and a miniature tool roll in the boot. All in black leather. Shout if you want to know who. I saw you busy on day 1 explaining how they work. Great you were in with all the apprenticeships. Have you searched for period film of them in use? It would be good to incorporate clips next year. Lee
Hi Dom, facebook market place thier is a George Kendrick english wheel, i know its not a Ranalah but the wheels he has may be helpfull.
Love your YT channel keep up the Amazin work Dom 👍
Congratulations on your success. We saw these at the Revival and my companion (who is restoring a Lanchester) was delighted to be able to tell me about them and your story. My first thought after being told was that they look as good for producing mediaval / renaissance plate armour as car panels and found with a little research that they date back to at least 1500. An additional market for you, perhaps.
Loved this, what an event to be part of. Well done Dom. Les in UK
Superb video which really shows the passion you have for the craftsmanship of days gone by, the footage captures the feel of Goodwood
Life is full of choices. Don you've found yourself with fame. Options are, enter a dancing competition or dedicate yourself to preservation of a skill that generations will benefit from. Hat off Don.
Was the Military Policewoman Jo Brand working under cover?
That must be the most number of Ranalah's in one place for a long time!!!!
Since they were previously manufacturing them I bet!
Dom you are a wonderful personality and a brilliant presenter. Thanks for all the videos and greetings from The Netherlands.
Great video, highlights for me were the two works arches Escort MKIs and the Austin pedal cars.
with this kind of publicity, you are going to have to scale up production!
Love your enthusiasm for the j40. But the pathfinder is never shown in these shows.i have one but have not got the skills to finish it.
Great work Dom, appreciate you stopped for a chat on the Saturday and made time to speak to me. By the way, I only found 4 of the 6 🤨. Thanks for all your hard work and commitment to keeping the old skills alive.
Doesn't Dom brush up well! Good to see there's hope for some of the old skills and a lot of young people coming through to fill the old boots. Also lovely to see Alan Millyard's beast firing up - a monumental feat of engineering.
Great job sir. Bet you were knackered sorry very tiered but then the journey home. Can you help I am looking for a company or person that can make a flat aluminium name plate it seems to be flat on the back but raised on the front. Been looking at acid etching but do seem to find anything. Help please.
Where can I buy one from please?
From me! Domchinea@gmail.com
I Kardashian wheel do I fact Bach repairs city and builds I was restoring a mk2 jaguar they condemned workshops and I tried to buy it but it was sold as scrap never did get around to buy one restored many cars
Great content and variety in these videos. Keep up the good work, it’s very entertaining.
Great video love the feel when people make the effort to dress to period and great info love the J40 cars
Great to see what goes on away from the track. Passing on the skills must give you a great feeling . Thanks for the video
Only at the opening few minutes, but those Ranalahs look lovely especially with the polished signage.
Well, that was FUN! Nice the sun came out for a great event and to spotlight your wonderful work. I wish I was there!
Absolutely fantastic video Dom. I think I'll start planning my next European trip around attending this event, and will be sure to check out a Ranalah at the Heretige Skills Academy site when I do. Inspirational. From an Australian Defender driver with a hobby restoring old lever coffee machines. Love your work.
This video sums up beautifully what an awesome job you’re doing! Keep up the great work 👍🏽
Have you considered taking one to aviation centre at east kirby Lincolnshire where they are rebuilding a Lancaster bomber,for one of there open weekends
Dom you are an inspiration, my father put me onto your RUclips channel which is usually something done the opposite way around, very much been enjoying the journey that has been Ranalah revival
Hi Dom ... What a great weekend! You did a great job with the Ranalahs...keep up the good work. It was good to get the chance to say hi (managed to catch you briefly after the screen printing session you hosted on Sunday). Regards....
Great work Dom. Thanks for your fottage of the best show on earth. See you in Cronwall
It's a long train ride from Canada so I've greatly enjoyed this look at the event. 😉
Hi Dom, What a fantastic time, I hope you got what you wanted, All the best Brian 😃
Well done. I am not a car person but you make such interesting videos. And Goodwood oozes the period with good fun
Nicely done Dominic, you have done an amazing job getting the Ranalahs on site and they look amazing. We'll done mate. Stay safe J.
Excellent advertisement for Ranalah. Well done Dominic.
Great video as usual Dom, 7:39 looks like "arrival of the refugees"!
Great video, Dom, thank you, best wishes
I thoroughly enjoyed that video, Dom. Thank you for sharing 🌞
Thanks Dom. Such a brilliant video
Very brave seeing all of your work being lofted into the sky and then driven off.
Should I add these to my list of strange objects of desire?
Great to see people with great skills and enjoying life 👍
Thank you Dom for another brilliant VLOG, looked like you had great fun 👍
You're so good at these videos Dom, keep them coming.
Fantastic video and such a lovely chap. Nice one Dom
Fantastic video, Thank you Dom.
I like your priorities...”where’s the beer tent” 👍
