1926 GP Salmson Part 2 - Ivan's Shed

- Join us as Ivan restores his 1926 Rene Thomas steering wheel with a few tips and tricks!
- for those that don’t know:
• Two pack paint is a paint system involving a paint base (usually acrylic) and a hardener resin.
- the end result produces a chemical reaction leading to a hardened solution, much different to regular paint finishes.
Just like Ivan. Old, showing his battle scars, but loved and cherished...
Just love these down to earth videos. No pomp, no snobbery just good plain engineering. If Britain’s got talent, then there’s more in Ivan’s Shed than I’ve seen anywhere for a long time. Former Alvis owner.
Looking forward to the next instalment, between you, Harry Metcalfe and Ian Tyrrell makes a perfect evening's viewing. Thanks for filming
That thick black coating on the steering wheel might be the same as used on Singer sewing machines. It was called Japaning and was 2 parts linseed oil, 5 parts turpentine, and 3 parts asphaltum powder.
It also might have been bakelite.
Gives my fond memories working at Vm engineering Adelaide in the mid nineties .thanks Ivan.
Obviously, this is one of the best things to come up in my recommended list on YT during this terrible time. You've made my day sir. Subscribed and looking forward to more.
Don't worry about how many times you say 'obviously'. All the best creators have their own idiosyncrasies. Great channel, amazing engineering!
Ivan you my friend are an inspiration to myself, at 51 I've been a petrol head from the age of 6mths. My grand parents had a 36 Ford Deluxe. I over the years have owned over a 1000 cars of all years from 39 to 07 many from the 60's & 70's. I would love to hear a story about you & your adventures. I knew Mike Houghton from Kidderminster also a Mechanic and racer of cars. Love this as you are a real old school genius...
Long live Ivan.
All the best from New Zealand.👍🏼👍🏼😉
It upsets me that there is always a few thumbs down for Ivan’s videos ! My theory is it’s the same sad git’s every time that do it for kicks ! Ignore them Ivan . This is a fantastic channel, I share it with lots of people.
I grew up about a mile from Prescott hill climb & my mother were volunteers there . Well remember Ivan competing there ! Can still remember the smell of Castrol R .
Great job on the steering wheel. Great content. Camera man did an excellent job

Hello Ivan, British armourer here and ex EVERYTHING restorer inc classic cars. To my knowledge I am the only person to have driven a chip-shop pie-cabinet across the Sahara! (at least a vehicle made from one anyway)
You are a very engaging chap, fun to watch, I can smell the jellified sump-oil from here... deep in a French forest.
At the start of this video, you look and sound like Sir Ben Kingsley in the film 'Sexy Beast!' If nobody has pointed this out to you then I can only assume that is because they are too scared to tell you!!! 😉😂🤣
Bless you and all your endeavours mate, it is a joy to watch. I wish I was close enough to bring you a bag of donuts!!! 🏆⚒️🇬🇧
I' could have sworn it was Sir Patrick Stewart sitting there in the beginning !!
I discovered you a while back and I'm enjoying the videos. I'm building a 1926 Model T Ford speedster from an old chassis I bought and cars like your Salmson are an inspiration. I admire guys who know what they are doing, as apposed to guys like me who use a hammer and axe for everything. Keep it up...
Thanks very much for the feedback. Glad you’re enjoying the videos!
what a fantastic channel
I'm loving this content
good work!
Boring? Not to anyone who has done this in their lifetime. You give the job character like no one else could. I have more to say, but for now keep up the amazing work. I'm going to cry when I've finished all your videos, and have to wait for the next. Thank You, Sir.
not boring to me sir, love all the old relics they are our past
Excellent video. And it obviously makes for a great drinking game as well.
Obviously you find it hard not to say "obviously", but don't worry about that, you know what your talking about and not only that you can also do the work. Keep it up, an amazing project with "hands on" commentary...
Wot a great old Geezer! Excellent videos thanks.
I am SO glad you are active still and this video is just a godsend. Keep the good work up and please, please don't stop making these!!
So when I had throat cancer I used to use one of these to feed myself ,👍👍🇬🇧😀😀 very funny ,great work by the way stay safe and well 🎶
Me third day of watching all yer vids very entertaining and interesting still not cault. Up,Ivan your a legend thank you
The original coating was probably a black lacquer to weatherproof the wood.
Plastic was a British invention and first appeared in the 1860's, mainly as a cheaper non-ivory option for piano keys, etc.
Some of the mouldable plastics around, in 1926, were Celluloid, Cellulose Acetate, Vulcanite and Bakelite.
Cellulose Acetate (switches, toys, etc.) is extremely prone to warping and distortion as it ages, which is how it can be easily recognised.
Soaking a warped item in boiling water will make it malleable enough to straighten and rest as it cools in a jig.
A totally absorbing video. Such a pleasure to see a skilled craftsman engineer at work. Thank you for taking the trouble to let us lesser mortals learn from you.
I hope this comes over as the compliment it's meant to be Ivan. I don't watch many channels like yours as it's my day job restoring classic motorcycles, repairing them and manufacturing new obtainable parts. Your channel was a random RUclips recommendation and I don't know whether it's a guilty pleasure watching someone else work or what but it's great fun.
Britain has become the land of armchair engineers, busy berating younger folk for not doing these things while being hopeless themselves. It's nice to see someone else actually working on their own projects.
Poor boy from Greenford? Me too. Every Sunday as a small child walking from The "Racecourse Estate" along the tow path to Taylor Woodrow and then to Greenway Gardens. Hardly any cars to be seen and usually the only thing to hear was the "Boys Brigade" marching along the back turnings playing trumpets and banging drums. Thank you for the memory of Greenford Ivan, I almost for got about it being such a while ago. Keep posting these videos, very enjoyable. Oh and lovely cars and engineering skills too. Thank you.
So much cool stuff sitting about in the background.
Not boring at all. Wonderful!
I absolutely loved the first video. Wonderful story about your father and I was a little tearful 😢 when you used the tool your father owned all those yeas before and you got the chance too use it. Wonderful video so natural and thank you Kindly for sharing the experience. May God bless you and keep you safe during these strange times we are living in. Kindest regards from ireland 🇮🇪
Fascinating work very interesting can't wait to see what happens with the car. I have just restored a1930 Austin seven special
very interresting . we appreciate your videos , bruce ,south africa
I note the Lamborghini Miura engine and gearbox casually in the background
I did wonder who else had spotted that :-)
good stuff! I work on steering wheels as a profession, mostly replacing the leather with new, and I always have time to watch others work in circles too! I know its a bit late for advice/recommendations but I strongly recommend you try using polyurethane glue (gorilla glue or the like) when you need to bond the wheel to the inner structure. Poly glue and a spritz of water. The glue will expand and foam as it reacts with the moisture in the air or spritz and fill every void as it expands and once cured the bond between the two is outstanding and pretty weatherproof too! I use this method to rejoin the foam and inner ring of the wheel so the foam or rubber wont twist on the ring. Poly also excels at bonding dis similar materials. Your wheel turn out great! Glad you are still kicking!
You are spot on with how you plan to restore the steering wheel. On a repair on a classic aircraft I carried out a very similar technique except the epoxy was forced in under pressure through a very small needle. This mean minimum drilling and the liquid epoxy really " wetted" the repair area. He injection gun was hone made and used 150 psi air to inject. The epoxy stabilised the wood but remained flexible enough to allow movement without cracking or de bonding. Thanks for the great and very interesting content.
That’s very interesting! Would be great to see what the injection tool looked like
Great to see you back Ivan, Hope we can visit your workshop later in 2021 with the VMCC magic wheelers!
Glad you enjoyed it and you'd be very welcome. Hopefully the sun will shine soon and corona will go away!
So glad you decided to continue filming this adventure in restoration, thank you! I had a thought that the original coating on the wheel may have been a lacquer of some sort, it does have some plastic-like properties, but really no idea, now to carry on watching your endeavours :) Big cheers from the PNW Canada!
Stumbled across this channel while watching other car videos, what a fantastic stroke of luck, I am totally hooked and currently binge watching all the content, I cannot wait for the ADO11 a series 2 cylinder to fire up - absolutely enthralling .
Unbelievable car what a result for you well done get job
Here's hoping we might be lucky come summertime. I like the way you think :)
I went to school in Greenford from 1959-1964 !
Amazing original car.
I'm catching up watching your videos.... fantastic content... 👍
Ivan, you are a Legend.
Ivan, that was a really enjoyable video. Thanks for taking the time to share your world with us. I read DSJ’s history of 3011 during first lockdown - what an exceptional masterpiece you created for David Heimann ! Without Corona and lockdowns I would have missed both of your cameos so it’s not all bad ! Best wishes for your future videos.
I love it keep making these videos please sir.
Great video. Never knew the four spoke wheel was laminated metal.
I made one once. Torch, file, oak and brass. It was fun
I suspect original coating was celluloid (nitrocellulose), possibly dipped while slowly rotating, then removed from dip and kept rotating until hardened (rotated to avoid runs)
A damned fine restorer. That much is obvious...
Beautiful repair
Great restoration!
Lovely video....looking forward to the bikini lady....lol...you sir are both a genius and a treasure 👍
Fantastic I’m I love this. something worth watching on u tube
Very intressant !!!! More please ! Many Thanks
GREAT WORK!!!
Awesome job
The original "plastic" coating on the steering wheel was likely celluloid.
I think you’re right!
Rudge used it on their handlebars.
Jolly good Buggy there Mate!!🇬🇧🎩🇬🇧🎩🇬🇧
Sweet, the guy is fabulous :-) I wonder if you could have found out what the original black coating was and replicated that....
Are you from greenford middlesex? I live there. Love your videos and salmson restoration. Great car and you have great knowledge,
What a great video
Love these watch classics being restored. Keep up the good work. Curious as to what the six cylinder motor is at 15:30 in this video
Excellent, thanks.
Use Bees wax on the steel it will stop it rusting heat up the metal gently then rub on the wax.
That's good thinking, we'll do that.
As i said in part one its pure magic however the steering wheel is just 100 years old and should have some blemishes like ourselves keep safe .
Do you think the orignal coating might have been celluloid based ? Lots of that stuff was used 100+ years ago and would have looked like some form of plastic.
Obviously you've forgotten your promise to stop saying obviously, obviously!😉
Obviously……… that’s a nice wheel
What a car, it is a lot beter then a Mercedes of Audi😀
Thanks for a great inspiring videos, Ivan! The steering wheel - can it be bakelite-coated from factory?
Do not adjust your speech patterns. Genuine people who love their craft and hobby are a blessing to the world. Our idiosyncrasies make us who we are.
I reckon you will be presenting Good morning Britain this time text year Ivan!
lol, back in the day when they read the evening news on BBC world service the presenters were required to wear a dinner jacket and tie (yes on the radio), you won't see me on the radio
What is the "two pack" paint you refer to Ivan? Epoxy? Nice videos!
Is That a Bugatti type 37 Engine om the bench.?(love the Channel)
Could you use the brush plating technique to nickel plate the exposed metal with the rim still on?
Shellac and ebony would be black. Bakelite probably a bit late but never know.
Steering wheel be great covered in leather
You can thin the epoxy with acetone for next time you might do it
Rim and back covered in gutta percha..? Early rubber product...likely a tough , grippable surface....
Obviously, if you showed what's written in French on the steering wheel, those of us who speak French could read it! Cheers, Matthew
"When I had throat cancer??!!" Guess that would explain the raspy voice.
21 (obviously)
Is that a miura engine in the background ?
Is that a Miura engine in the background????
Good morning Ivan, my wife wants me to ask you if you were born within the sound of the Bow bells?
@Billie Dutton I realized he said he was from Greenford. Are you family of his? His accent sounds like he might have been born or raised near Poplar so I was just curious, not intending to offend.
I’m forty is that too late to start an apprenticeship at Ivan’s place?
What did he inject into the steering wheel? I didn't recognize the name of the product. maybe it has a different name in the US?
Araldite, a two pac epoxy glue, might have to google for a US equivalent, a bit like JB weld.
Now that You pointed out You state the word Obvious a lot, It's obviously very Noticeably obvious, Great vid none the less Earned a sub & Bell flick from Me...
Presumably the girl in the bikini heard that you were filling cracks with Araldite, so decided it was best not to turn up?
Me and my dad say obviously just like yourself obviously
two-part epoxy resin
You keep saying obviously as much as you like Sir
Obviously, hey?
You might be lucky
Ha ha
Like yourself your language and conversation must stay original...obviously.
Sorry to say it is a lot like watching paint dry
"Shillack " ????
Spoiler. A very long video about restoring the steering wheel.
