    Dom, regarding the rusty screws in the engineers box, throw them in a metal sieve supported In the electrolysis tank and stir them up every now and again if you want to clean them up👍 DVLA a nightmare they’ve been on strike, not helping mate. Please don’t keep showing the Parwelder makes me drool, one day I’ll swap out my mig for one🤣 Fantastic Vlogs keep them coming love every minute. Say a big thanks to everyone at the repair shop, great show, Stay Safe👍

    I have thousands of those GKN screws too, Dom. They were a wedding present 46 years ago from my next door neighbour, along with nails, panel pins etc., and some hand tools. I have used them in hundred of diy projects and still have more left than I'll ever use.

    My dad had a chest exactly like that one. He worked in Chatham Dockyard after WW2, maybe that one came from a similar source (no ‘rank’ on the name plate).
    No Britool spanners? Would be the cream of the crop at a car-boot sale - when I was an apprentice (1960s) all my spanners and sockets were Britool. Expensive but good and tough. Unfortunately the name is now owned by a French parent company so Britool is no longer British.
    Spring washers to stop loosening from vibration... in a Land Rover? Surely not needed😁!
    Love the stuff you do Dom. Thanks. Les

  • @johnmurrell3175
    @johnmurrell3175 3 года назад

    Suprised that you have Aluminium & Stainless in contact in your Defender rebuild - when used in boats the moisture causes electrolytic corrosion unless you manage to electrically insulate the pieces and the fastenings. Sheets of thin plastic and lots of the Yellow paste ( I can't remember what it was) provided a partial cure.

  • @paulcullen814
    @paulcullen814 3 года назад +1

    Another great video as usual. The sea chest looks great and such a bargain.
    One tip I saw about the tomato plant. The flowers are both male and female in the same flower rather than some male and some female. When the flowers grow, tap the flowers firmly, making sure the open end is downward. This makes the male part release the pollen and pollenates the female part. This sets the flowers and they should then produce fruits as the plant grows. Maybe you could pass the tip on to Lucia. I did this with our 2 plants and we had a constant supply of tomatoes a few at a time for several weeks.

    • @DominicChineas

    Dom, S J Rigden who owned that chest was likely related to the Whitstable boatbuilders Anderson, Rigden & Perkins, founded 1917, closed in the 1980s. Boatbuilder Alan Staley of Faversham was apprenticed there and has written a history of the yard.

    Did Lucia remove the side shoots from the tomato? If not that would explain why she had a healthy looking plant with no fruit, removing the sideshoots concentrates the plants energy into growing fruit. Also limiting its overall height to around five foot also helps to promote fruit production!

    Dom, I think you may need at least 2 tomato plants for cross pollination to get them to fruit, thats why grow bags are designed to take 3 plants, so Luchia's efforts maybe in vain again ! You might have to cough up another couple of plants for her !! lol.

    Don't ask me why but I know many that have given the exact date and it slows everything up whereas 1/1/year the application sails through????
