A great video Dom. I love the hands on approach. Old kit being used currently just like it always did. That’s how it was done back then and you bought the name and you spread the word about the Ranalah name. Work in progress eh? Keep up the good work.
What a brilliant episode. - The last time that I was in Mousehole was 60 years ago .. I bet it would be a little more Grockle crowded in season now. Those 'ELEVENS' were a lovely sight to see at Geoffs' .. he seems to survive on tea leaves and tobacco leaf ..
Dom, what a video. And I’m still drooling over the shape of those Lotus Elevens. What amazing things were done to produce those cars and what great feats were done by them on the tracks. Thank you. Magic stuff. Les
Goeff reminds me of my art teacher at School in the Mid 70's who would have an open packet of ciggies for the 5th year boys, we'd smoke in class! Then as soon as the pub was opened at 10:30am, he said right boys, blazers and ties off time for the pub. It was a small class of about 5 of us, brilliant days.
@@samrodian919 , in my school in the mid-70's , the DH retained a regular teaching work-load and was a notoriously tough marker, in those subjects also calling in previously marked work from other teachers for review to confirm they met standards.

Great to see the new Rananlah in action, with more to come. A quick PS to this - the book is truly wonderful even if it seduces you down to route of finding and restoring the stuff you mention. It was supposed to be a birthday present but I have kept it for myself (must order a replacement). Paul
Awesome, Dominic! So pleased to see real progress in the Ranalagh story. Geoff is not an easy man to please, as I’m sure you’re aware, but when he finally gives the nod you’ll know you’ve achieved greatness, I’m sure.
Brilliant Dom, I think Goeff's student was pleased to be part of your filming. He sounds like an interesting chap as well. Can't wait to see the finished buck, it's going to be exiting.
Looking forward to seeing how well the buck turns out. We use laser scanning at work, amazing how accurate it is. I also spent a week with Geoff in his old workshop, was a fantastic week and learnt loads. He had a few e type fronts, a Lotus 11, singe seater Ferrari and a DB5 arrived when I was there.
Seeing this craft in action and a student there with Geoff was wonderful, it's the way forward so many of the heritage crafts are now the way forward recycling and using more and more natural products, I love it and just wish I could physically manage to learn some.
Great work gentleman. The world has changed so much wisdom has been replace with knowledge. If you use the two together old and new our heritage is safe but on their own we will loss the battle to preserve the past generations of engineers.
I am halfway through the book and so far there have been 5 tools I did not know about or have. It’s a great read and can almost hear you saying the text. Great to see the first Ramallah being put through its paces. What a great project Dom!!!!
Brilliant thanks for the video dom. The buck is going to make life so easy to know if a panel is shaped properly or not before it's welded in place. When your finished with the buck you won't have any problem selling it.
Watching a recent video of the manufacture of Musk's rocket nosecone's there in the background was an ' English Wheel ' shaping them up. If I see it again I'll send the Link here. Best regards Brian Ashley
Been Doing a Little more research in Merton (SW London) In the 1930 Kelly's Directory for High Path Merton is A P Compton, Coachbuilder. Now Arthur Compton founded a number of companies and partnerships late 1920s through to 1939 ish In Merton companies included Compton, Sons and Terry which was founded in 1929 in Merton He left this in 1930 to set up on his own as A P Compton )( The other partner D.H. Terry with D.H.B. Power renamed the company(Compton, Sons and Terry ) Abbey Coachworks ( In 1933, the company moved to larger premises in Acton, North West London ( later taking on the Wingham brand from Martin Walker). I have not found (yet) Where Abbey Coachworks was located - I would need a 1931 directory , I suspect from the Name somewhere in Station Road - which would tally with the building of some (very light) industrial units and other premises in 1932 recently known in part as Abbey Garage . At the same time Jarvis and Sons were in Morden Road (near The Grove) and were also coach builders as well as Morris Dealers. Jarvis later (also) had retail premises in Wimbledon (an advert is preserved extant in South Wimbledon Tube Station) , and a larger showroom in Morden Road on part of the site of Oscar White's Farm, these premises were later taken over by Mann, Egerton ( mostly as car repair and retail ). more recently a Peugeot dealership and soon to be housing. An Alternative for Abbey Coachworks could have been a little further east on Station Road - described as Merton Abbey , where in 1930 manufacturing of metalware was being undertaken - notably by Corfield Ltd (later Corfield and Buckle, later part of Tube Investments as TI Crown Merton mostly making cutlery and catering equipment) along with Quickways (1926) Ltd Aluminium Manufacturers - I doubt these were smelting and most likely undertaking press work rather than rolling work , particulary as 1930 marginally predates Ranelagh, but again it shows the possibilities of the proprietors learning techniques from the engineering companies in the area , and should I find other directories (some in City Of London / Metropolitan Archives others in Local History Sections I will let you know)
@@DominicChineas Met someone else today that the Abbey Wall works in Station Road by the 1970s was occupied by CC Products whom were sheet metal workers (I think they also made gates and probably more of the likes of temp barrier type wire and pipe welded constructions). The High Path A P Compton Premises I remember became home to Pilcher's Motor Bodies (think they relocated to Andover in the late 1950s ) , famous at the time for Ambulances, they also had premises in Merton Park on Kingston Road which later became one of the CMG (Commercial Motor Garages) sales and service locations (think they had three), they mainly retailed and serviced local authority dust carts, being agents for Dennis of Guildford among others. There was also on the Mitcham/Morden border Locomotors body builders (whom also went to Andover in the mid 1970s) , they made the 40odd luggage trailers for the BEA Routemaster service from the West London Air Terminal to London Heathrow. Remember too nearby at Thames Ditton was AC Cars , whom apart from the sporty little cars (and did they do some of the Fibreglass invalid carriages ?) made the early bodies for the Southend Pier Railway rolling stock.
Worth looking into having the wheels super finished, will work on the hardened surface, if nothing else it would reduce the friction and improve the surface finish. Guessing your in Essex/Kent, Swiftune or KAD who both do Mini race engines have the gear.
Another fascinating video Dom on the Ranalah, good for you. The 356 buck will be a work of art as well. It makes you appreciate even more how they must have made bucks in the old days. Lots of clay, plywood and patients. Keep up the good work. By the way, I bought your book from Amazon, a good read and really interesting. Well done you.
You are held to very high standards. The Ranalah will be the sought after tool in the industry, although your costs are probably creeping up. Stay the course. I admit, I have been looking forward to your latest video post.
As a fellow tradesman (carpenter) I agree with Geoff’s ‘scrap metal’ assessment. That back metal should be taken off, painted up and put on a wall as a souvenir.
Thought you were in Yorkshire with that wildlife about!!!! Modern tech meets craft skills - but you don't need a 13A socket with the old ways🤣🤣 Graham Hill's Lotus, rubbing shoulders with history eh Dom👍👍👍👍
In addition to that Lotus used to take their crankshafts to my uncle's works (an old stables in the side street next to the The Carlton cinema Essex Road N1)for dynamic balancing. I used to go there on Saturday mornings and somebody from Lotus would bring in the crankshafts for balancing. I was told by my uncle that Jim Clarke once brought them over. The workshop also balance the crankshafts for the Ford GT40s that won Le Mans. One day Ford brought over a road-going GT 40 and took my uncle for a ride round Islington as a way of thanking them for their work.
@@BJHolloway1 These are great stories, and should be recorded somewhere! There are some wonderfully skilled people and wonderful workshops around the UK, but they are usually small ‘one man band’ firms that fade away and are forgotten. A shame when that happens. Les
Mmm...I have been to Mousehole but I genuinely can't remember that view. I used to read a book about Stargazy Pie to the children when they were little. That's set in Mousehole!
Dom , Does this mean you have to re-do the wheels for the Ranalah?? I bet your heart was in your mouth when he tapped one with the steel rule!!!!!!! Cracking vid again, Cheers
Another exceptional video Dom, I’d gladly come and work around you guys for free just to get the experience, I’m going book a course with Geoff next year, just need a discount on a Ranalah Machine (preferably the Spitfire Goodwood version), and I’ll be off and running ! Inspirational stuff, truly inspirational- Thank You 👍🏼
How did you come across Geoff Moss? I started metal shaping years ago. I was off to a good start, but then started to confuse myself and it seemed like I couldn't make anything for the longest time. I discovered that the maintenance guy in my building's father was a metal shaping guru back in the 50's -80's. Jay Leno sometimes calls him over to consult on some of the cars he gets. He's now saying my stuff looks professional.
Dom, with Geoff commenting about the grinding marks left from the top wheel, are you going to have the top wheel polished after the grinding following heat treatment on the production Ranalahs?
@@DominicChineas It was how Krupps somewhat started, they made metal / wooden rollers to press (the inferior German Steel) sheet at the time, there was an imperfection, and they realised that they could add shaped moulds to the rollers to turn out cutlery as pressed spoons, knives, forks etc, these could be then cut and shape finished , they made money both making finished products and rollers for sheet metal they licenced to other companies. (we wont mention they also made cast brass and iron cannons of varying sizes + shells that went bang for them)
hi Dom you say you are using a buck, are they solid or frame work, do you work over the buck or use it as a guide , could i just ask wouldn't it have been easier to just copy Jeff's wheels to make a set for your Rananlah rather than taking so much effort to get wheels close , thanks for the content as building a cab on the style of a series 2a for 1979 CJ7 got a bench wheel so small panels tacked together dream endless space and money have one of yours thanks again
Dom, Can you explain the science behind the Ranalah. I haven't got an engineering brain and I don't really understand how you can take a flat piece of metal and end up with all those curves etc. thanks

No! The proof is not in the pudding. If you're going to use hackneyed cliches (and yes I appreciate hackneyed cliche is a hackneyed cliche), get them right. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Every time I see Geoff use the Ranalah my jaw just drops.
Takes me back to my apprenticeship years in the 60's. We would make bucks out of wood and form the panels, often having to modify the buck several times.

Perfect! I hope you enjoy the rest of the videos, thank you!
Truly gifted human being. I hope the younger Generation can learn these skills.
Having Geoff test fly your first wheel set, seems a bit like having your homework marked by the Deputy Headmaster
Goeff reminds me of my art teacher at School in the Mid 70's who would have an open packet of ciggies for the 5th year boys, we'd smoke in class! Then as soon as the pub was opened at 10:30am, he said right boys, blazers and ties off time for the pub. It was a small class of about 5 of us, brilliant days.

Hello Dom,
Super interesting video... Many thanks... looking forward to seeing the buck.
Take care.

Nice one Dom - the book came through and it cost less than first advertised, thank you - enjoying the info and the videos. Ian
The meeting of two different times Dom. The wheeling machine and CAD.
Nice to see great progress on both fronts Dom.👍👍
Great video Dom. Great to see the Ranalah working for a living after all your efforts. Congratulations !!
Is a hand rolled ciggie hanging off of the bottom lip a vital part of wheeling technique?

Dom, Can you explain the science behind the Ranalah. I haven't got an engineering brain and I don't really understand how you can take a flat piece of metal and end up with all those curves etc. thanks
It's all about very, very slow fluid dynamics really, you just have to persuade the metal into flowing into the direction you want it to go lol
