I love that you're able to see the faces responsible for all the steps leading up to finished product. Not too many places like this anymore.
When I refurbed my 1966 Norton 650SS from 1996-1998 I went to many small places like this (but chrome platers rather than boxers), and really enjoyed meeting the people who would do the work, and discussing and seeing the processes - they were all delighted to share what they did, and took great pride in their craftsmanship.
It is wonderful to see this kind of programme (I use _programme_ rather than _video_ as we are presented with the same professional production values as a TV programme).
As a simple example of what I experienced: I needed small sheet of rubber, contacted the large dealers, who suggested I obtain a small quantity from a small factory that used it. I did, and while I was there was shown around the whole factory by the owner. Wonderful! There were many more such experiences. I still have the bike.
Woah. Mind blown. Who knew there was so much work in a box. That crazy orange machine and skilled Lisa. Wonderful.
Thank you for making this video Dom. Without it we would never know the skills and experience needed to make what to all of us is 'just' a box.
Excellent, my dad had a small foil printing business when I was younger. It’s great to see the larger scale of the same thing. I used to help out, and can still read backwards now from setting the type face. We also had the machines type plates. Thats bought back some memories 👍
I will never ever take beautiful packaging for granted again. What an ace video! Thank-you Dom.
Your welcome! Glad you enjoyed it
What a great doc on a disappearing art. It's also great seeing the Dayfold employees seeing someone truly appreciating their work. How often does someone get that kind of positive feedback. Love this channel!
in the U.S. back in the 80's I had a neighbor next door that worked in a local print/box facility and he tried to explain to me all this complicated machinery and what he did everyday ....wow, that is amazing....he was also a Brit transplanted from the UK and told me stories about the Mini Cooper he drove back home...small world :)
Love the mixture of automation and human processes- what an absolutely fantastic journey in to making a BOX ! Can't believe there is so much to it. But the end result is top end. UK ALL THE WAY!
I LOVE that you're keeping everything in the UK, it's seemingly impossible to find goods msugsctured at home. I always look and invariably fail. Really, really pleased you're trying to keep it in Britain.
I want mini wheels too.
Perhaps possible with a 3D printer with titanium stock. A working miniature replica!
Love the fact that everything is sold out! Sincerely that's great! Really hope it continues Dom :)
Brilliant! Yet another craft being kept alive! Bravo for spreading this word Dominic! You are an influencer of the highest quality!
Brilliant,glad everything is being produced in the UK
This is SO interesting to see the many steps, the technology involved, and the engineering expertise of the guys.
However, I suddenly thought, "what am I watching here?" This video, the whole story is such high quality and production standard, its better than telly! Superb work all round, Dom and Team.
Wonderful, it's like Blue Peter for adults. Brilliant.
FANTASTIC!!! NOW all we need it some wheels for it so we can use it as intended!
What a great company, and doing what they do. Nice to see the old machines still working well. My dad used to be an engineer and whenever I had school holidays I would always go to his work, I was fascinated with the machines and the smell. If I ever walk into a machine shop now the smell instantly takes me back to those days.
Will you be doing more of these Dom? They sold out so quickly and also the key fobs?
Keep at it, and so nice you are keeping history alive
I love your enthusiasm for all of those processes Dom. I can completely understand the fascination, as for quite a few years my work as a telephone engineer took me into a multitude of factories and workshops. Many jobs took me longer than they should have done, as I was gazing in awe at what was emerging from each machine. Skilful handwork is just as compelling, and your obvious delight is contagious.
Fascinating process.
Wow! I'll never look at posh boxes in the same way again!
Hands up if you want to see Lisa's Christmas present wrapping!!
No! 😮
Have to say that is one amazing process and still using some old equipment great one Dom
It would be criminal for any of those lovely boxes to end up in the bin!
What a cool British company. What a cool idea for your mini Ranalah. Cut down on casting waste and make a quality memento/ gift. Gem of a blog. All the best Dom.
Five star process, impressive ! (although, maybe a bit of a basket-weaving job for the good folks at Dayfold 😀😀😀 ). Great end result and quite subtle.
Gutenburg would be amazed at the world of printing wizardry today.
The box even sounds nice when you close it
Loved this video. As a crafter who makes only a few boxes, it was lovely to see how the machine does it.
You legend. That’s brilliant news. Now I have a gift to request for Father’s Day. Nice job buddy.
My dad was the plant manager for a folding carton manufacturer and I worked a few summers there doing various jobs from the ink mixing, printing presses, to the cutting presses so this took me back 50+ years. A lot of similarities with the different presses involved. Good show Dom. Cheers!
Great video Dom. Not many companies like this anymore. Great company
Great! Thanks for tuat video, Dom!
It's absolutely brilliant and amazing. Dom great a right piece of art well done to all of you. Cool update ❤
Fantastic - deja vu for me having spent quite a few years working in the printing industry with a lot of exposure to specialist printed packaging . . . from cosmetics to gin to souvenir items.
Nice touch on the desk Ranalah. Good to have an update on the Ranalah story. No trip to the beach 😔🏖️🍦
Verwood absolutely miles from Bournemouth lol
That’s a great idea Dom,well done. Thanks for the video.👍👍
It was so great seeing the print shop still being viable and healthy! I started my career etching zinc and magnesium for embossing and nameplates (for the electronics industry in Silicon Valley). Then running a process camera, stripping for press (Pre-Press), camera 4 color separations, then running all the different brands of drum scanners. (Hell, DS, Crosfield) Then finished my career doing Photoshop (Post digital Production) I consider myself lucky to have been in this industry, thanking the wonderful man who gave me my start in a 43 year career!
At first I thought to myself “Here we go!Dom’s gone off on a tangent. Who wants to watch boxes being made?”
Was I wrong.
This was quite fascinating!
Thanks Dom!
So cool getting to see all of the process steps and hearing from the people involved - great idea doing this video Dom, and well done to everyone at Dayfold Print
And away we go!
i worked in the print trade for some years, quite amazing the skills and machines to be found. Can I suggest a certificate signed glued in the underside of the lid. You dont need me to tell you what to include on the cert.
Factory unit - who knew what magic was happening within😮 well done, perfect box for the Mini Ranalah😊
What a great video took me back to working on loads of those machines when I was a printing engineer makeing and repairing / installing this type of machinery some a bit older .glad to see people keeping the old skills a live and passing on to the younger generations .
Great it’s all made in the uk 🇬🇧👍
I worked as a camera operator on May things and in between I made these type of corporate videos, before smartphones or dslr cameras. The part I loved was learning how all of the products I saw from beer making and canning to meat from field to packaging was made. If you’re inquisitive and like mechanical processes or have OCD it’s a brilliant profession. There’s a real satisfaction in watching.
Loved that tour - I have designed control systems for machines for 35 years and seeing old and new together is lovely :) also, the great people there! I just tried to but a desktop ranalah, but once agoan sold out before I could order :(
CONGRATULATIONS on your success! ..Looking forward to your AERO Video's...👍👍👍🗽🇺🇸
Sold out! damn, hope you will do another run Dom! Love how you promote all these crafts folks.
So good to see Dom. I love great workmanship. Glad that many trades and skills are being maintained. Unfortunately because they are much less common, we have to accept that they will cost us more. Thank you for showing us another example of quality skilled work.
What an interesting video that was Dom, i love to see machines producing stuff like that.
i prefer the grey 😁, lets be honest , cheap boxes ( containers ) mean cheap product and these look like the best you can buy 👌
Lived in Bournemouth for many years, who knew about Dayfold, excellent thanks
Lovely insight to box making Dom. Thank you
What an awesome company that is!
fantastic stuff
Great video , love seeing manufacturing processes. All the precise work that goes into such an everyday object. The amazing thing is the older machines - that there are people about who can repair/service them and that there are still parts around for them. Thanks Dom
that would make a cool hood ornament.
I love these videos Dom, it's so fascinating to see all the companies you've taken us to which I never even realised existed. This is definitely one to re-watch. Thank you for taking us along with you and a big shout out to Dan for another great job on the filming and editing. There's an excellent documentary to be made on your Ranalah journey and all the people involved so far if only BBC realised.
I've ordered my model Ranalah, the box alone would justify the price!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
@@DominicChineas Any chance you can take us back to the foundry to see the models being cast? Oh and a quick stop off at the pattern makers while you're there would be nice! How many models can Chris cast at the same time?
Amazing process, great video
One word Dom, Brilliant.
Brilliant video Dom, thanks for showing it.
Great tour, I would have loved to hear about how they handle the maintenance of all those vintage machines.
Thanks
Done and dusted Dom. Ordered the Mini and will be so happy to see it. Thank you, cheers mate
Dom you are my Monday morning treat, I watch your video as I sit and eat my breakfast
Hi Dom, lovely idea, lovely work. All you need now are the mini rollers and cradle for the prestige model.
Once again I'm amazed. Fantastic video Dom
Thanks!
A great incite into how the boxes are made
Hey Dom, Back in the early 70's I used to work as a welder at the Ranalah Gate factory in Malmesbury Wilts. Is that the same company?
Dom, any chance you can take us back to the foundry to see the models being cast? Oh and a quick stop off at the pattern makers while you're there would be nice! How many models can Chris cast at the same time? I'm guessing they're quicker to make than a full sized Ranalah?
Nice idea, any excuse to go back and spend time at the foundry!
Dom,
Sorry didn’t watch the video until the end so I could order mine. I watched it to the end once I'd got one. Great video. You should have taken Chris Shaw with you.
That was truly fascinating!
Great to see how it was done.
Great video, I guess that's a £35 box you've got there!
Ordered! Cheers Dom!
Thanks so much!!
Like an episode of How it's Made only better on account of the interaction with the individual craftsmen and women - excellent viewing 🙂
Great to see this specialist business. Inspiring.
Great video, absolutely fascinating
Another fabulous vlog Dom! Always great to skills at work!
Thanks for a view of the process. Very interesting.
Absolutely lovely, what a great way to present your dream,👏👏👏👏🤠
thinking u need lest 3 mini/s for repair shop..think bout it .
That sure is labor intensive for something that most people just throw away.
Great stuff. I rather like the grey 😊
An uncle of mine worked in a printers, even 50+ years ago the machines were impressive. One I remember was a “Linotype”, it had a keyboard like a typewriter but cast the letters being typed in lead, in rows according to the line of type that would be needed on the page. Multiple rows were assembled in a frame which then went off to the press to be printed on the page.
BTW, I think the internal bos colour should be the same shade of grey as the Ranalah rather than brown
Always enjoy your content..
Very well done Sir.
One slight problem, every time I look on the Ranalah web page, everything is SOLD OUT.
Might have to figure out where/what that Firebird print is intended for cause it was pretty awesome!
Amazing processes
My fatal mistake is that I always watch the show on Monday lunchtime when I take a little break from work, which means that today I missed out on the mini Ranalah!! I'm gonna have to change my viewing routine if I want to make the next run :)
Sorry Dom, but I feel you need to have a colour on the Ranalah inset label on the wonderful Bournemouth made boxes. It has to be grey iron colour of the bare Ranalah casting prior to painting in my humble opinion. I'd love to own one of those. I hope they are going to be fully working. If not I'd make the tooling to do it, and do mini wheeling projects for myself!
Good show!!!
Dom where's the mini wheels on the mini Ranalah? Just kidding, they look great! I'd be chuffed to own one.
Please please please send one to Joe Pie. He would engineer the moving parts to make a working model.
Wonderful. Shame it's not a working Ranalah. As a miniature model maker I'd love to have one.
I loved it, right up until I saw the price. Obviously its worth every penny, Dom there's no disputing that but I [disability benefit] can't stretch to that sort of money. However, and here's a genuine idea for you - could you have a 3D printable file made of the Ranalah with the wheels etc included. It could fit together like a model, or with simple 'engineering' the wheels could be made to move, just for display of course. Cheers Dom, and all the best for the Ranalah Company.
. . . and how did the British come up with the word bespoke, while we Americans would use the term custom, or customized, or made to order? By the way, these vids are great, and I am a huge fan of The Repair Shop. Keep the good work coming!
That is a very interesting question....
'Bespoke' is the past participle of 'bespeak': "To engage, hire, or order in advance:", which comes from Middle English 'bispeken', to speak out, in turn from Old English 'besprecan', to speak about.
That seems very logical -- you speak to, or ask, someone to make something bespoke for you;
but 'custom' is another matter.
As a noun, ("usual or habitual practice") 'custom' would seem to have the opposite meaning of 'custom', as an adjective, which (effectively) means 'bespoke'. The etymology of both goes back to Latin 'to be used to', which led to Old French 'costume'.
How the word 'custom' can mean both "habitual, commonplace" and "unique" is a mystery to me (with only this 15-minute research!)
[Thanks to The Free Dictionary .com for the meanings and etymology!]
Lovely looking box, was the dog the real Wendy, ? No barking, can’t be, 👍cheers Dom.
She was very well behaved!
Really nice video 👍
Thank you 👍
Amazing, and always good to see industrial processes that you don't normally get to see unless you work in that industry. Was there ever any consideration to making mini wheels to go on the mini wheeling machine?
I love this so much! Would you consider making a one or two inch mini mini ranalah? I live outside the UK and I would love a mini Ranalah but right now it's outside my price range
Are you planning to add wheels to the castings?
