The lift is a great addition to your workshop Dom and will make life so much easier. Enjoy your return to the Repair Shop, we certainly will. Kind regards, Richard.
WOW... I’m blown away by the defender your doing. Planning it all putting it together, your so clever Dom and gracious about it too. Well done on getting the lift for Free too, that will make your life so much easier restoring your vehicles. Crikey I didn’t realise you had to pack up and use all of your tools for the repair shop... what a complete headache and logistical nightmare for you each time! Look forward to watching you on the show though and the items you get to restore for those people it means so much to.
Great set of videos Dom, really enjoying them all. I do think the BBC need to provide you with the big tools though, as it's not like you just have to bring a sewing box to work. Great work and dedication you are a huge credit to the Repair Shop!
Fascinating. Busy doing your Vespa (congrats on that by the way).....working on the Defender.....and working in the Repair Shop as well!!!! A treat to watch. Well done.
You can never have enough tools that is a fact and I’m still buying and collecting and making bespoke tools 30+ years on I’ve actually got some tools that are 60 years old if not older as were my dads tools that I inherited. Good luck at repair shop my mother in law loves the repair shop and the work you’re doing is top notch.
Great video as always Dom, have a great time at The Repair Shop filming - look forward to the next video. That ramp will be a godsend once its up and running, especially for the Land Rover restoration.
I see you move a lot of stuff by yourself. I've always worked alone in my shop. I found out a lot of years ago that an engine lift with a good set of casters on it was one of my best friends in the shop.
Hello Dom, well look at that! Nice lift at just the right price, seems like your neighbours are just about as cool as can be. Served my time under things on the cold wet concrete with welding splatter rolling around inside your ear hole and setting fire to your nice new boilersuit. Happy days!. Nice to see the project moving in the right direction,looking really good. Cheers Simon.
Great video Dom! Defender's looking cool, interesting to hear about your thought processes during the planning. Good luck for Monday's at TRS, bit of a faff to pack once you're there it'll be brill. seeing all your creative mates again and having a few creative challenges to get your brain around. Big thanks to Dan too for the filming! Safe journey, Lynne
Loving the videos Dom!! Totally agree with what you said at the end......what do you take and what don’t you take!! 🙈 Great seeing your design and build process. Congratulations on your new lift!! Gotta love a handmedown 👍👍 Looking forward to seeing more Repair shops soon
Brilliant news about the lift, it’s sounds much safer. The Defender is really shaping up and putting the cardboard in helps to visualise it. Great news about the filming again although it does sounds a pain having to relocate your tools and nice to see you making a proper coffee with frothy milk in the morning!! Great video 😊
Brilliant Dom. All inspirational stuff! I seem to be catching up with your videos all out of sequence. Time to get out to my workshop now and get on with it!
Hi Dom, have you thought about putting in an electric cool box. I use one on my camping trips. I plug it into a 12v plug in the back of my Defender which keeps it running on the journey and then plug it into the electric hookup on the camp site or run it off a leisure battery. This will keep the box at fridge temperature all day and more efficient than using frozen cool packs which will soon thaw out in the summer. Love the channel. Georgina
Dom, how about some polycarbonate for the panels? It’ll make it lighter and allow the server to see what’s going on around the vehicle. Not anywhere as easy to clean or keep looking nice but swings and roundabouts possibly?
Dom, love the defender project, one question I have is about vibration. How are you planning to stop noise of all this metal work when the couple are driving to the beaches?
Dom, what are you going to do with that old BSA Bantam, I think you should put it in a red GPO livery as a telegram delivery bike, I reckon you might get film work for it..
Hi Dom, as far as i know, a combination of aluminium and rvs could form a big problem with corossion. Just wondering if you considered this in your plans. I really like your videos! Great work!
don't whir about it dom youll do a great job what ever jobs you have to do, Im share youll do a brilliant job what ever you given to do metal wise or your other skills you have .?. jonathan c
A very random question Dom if you don’t mind, which brand are your boots? I’ve been looking for everyday brown boots that can withstand a battering because I go through shoes so quickly. Being a handyman, working on cars and dog walks I’m too lazy to keep switching shoes. I love the TH-cam channel and good luck filming on the repair shop. Can’t wait to see you on there.
Best 👢 i had were fat max by Stanley but they were a bit heavy. Never buy cheap boots. laces amongst others things let you down comfort is king never buy online test for half an hour in the shop good luck
Hi there,when you are ready to take your coffee van out on the road you will need the coffee machine tested,let me know I know 2 people who can do it for you in your area,however they will need excess all around the mc plus water and power,it looks like a dual fuel mc aswell,not many can give you a gas safety cert for it though unless you go to fracino.
My neighbour hangs out her back bedroom window taking pictures of me working on my small fleet of resto projects. She should be thankful I’m not out there grinding and welding weekly or daily using a DA rather than the paint stripping of my Routemaster bus. Has my neighbour nothing better to do! 😂🙄.
May be that lift will get in your way. you need to lobby gov and get two apprentices and a new workshop with all new stuff. The pencil is mightier than the socket set. Working on your own is not good.
Probably not a helpful comment as I am a latecomer to your video Dom but cannot help wondering why the 'fridge' needs to be portable...better to install a static fridge than runs off an inverter or battery ?
Gift horses and mouths come to mind. Easy to take on projects not easy to finish them i find old equipment can let you down. When somebody offers you something charge them a fee and ask for installation and running costs.
thanks for that dom i'll believe it when i see it ha ha you haven't got time to turn around,Anyway love these down to earth videos keeping up the tradition of "man in a shed" well ok in your case a unit take care
I’m glad to hear you are in for another season of The Repair Shop. You are an awesome part of that team!
Looking forward to seeing the Repair Shop plus all your other endeavours.
I'm a big believer things happen for a reason really glad you managed to get your hands on a lift Dominic
You are so skilled in the repair shop love seeing your work you are an inspiration
I find it hard to stop a project to do something else too, but man, The Repair Shop is such a gem! It's amazing to be in it!
The lift is a great addition to your workshop Dom and will make life so much easier.
Enjoy your return to the Repair Shop, we certainly will. Kind regards, Richard.
Thank you Richard!

Thanks so much!! what a lovely message. Yes its a pain but as you say, its totally worth it!
Great set of videos Dom, really enjoying them all. I do think the BBC need to provide you with the big tools though, as it's not like you just have to bring a sewing box to work. Great work and dedication you are a huge credit to the Repair Shop!
Spot on.

Gotta love the working mans CAD cardboard assisted design
Karma you do good, ya recieved good, free lift top job
Recycling too when you think of it. Top stuff
Great video as always Dom, have a great time at The Repair Shop filming - look forward to the next video. That ramp will be a godsend once its up and running, especially for the Land Rover restoration.
a free lift? Best price ever! I hope the tool thing doesn't put you off doing The Repair Shop, you'd be missed
I'm a great of what you do in the RP, stumbled across your channel as I love skilled creative people....Awesome!
Probably at the packing stage, Dom wishes he did the clock repairs :D
That lift came at what for me as a yorkshireman is the perfect price 🤣
Don’t forget the Scotsmen! He’d find something to grizzle about the deal. 🤣🥃
Great video. Glad Dan made an appearance.
Good luck with the filming of The Repair Shop.
I always try!! thank you
At least the Sun was shining! In more ways than one!!

Video Heaven. Keep making them, Dominic. :)
Brilliant Dom. All inspirational stuff! I seem to be catching up with your videos all out of sequence. Time to get out to my workshop now and get on with it!
Hows your luck ....a free lift. There are some decent people about ....enjoying the channel, cardboard templates, top stuff, good idea !
My luck is not usually like this! it is a very old lift, and probably needs some work!
Great video Dom. That Defender is coming along nicely. Hope it all goes well with filming. Good luck 😉
Thanks so much!
Cracking honest vlog buddy, thanks for sharing!
Your welcome!

Enjoyed it
defender is looking quite nice dom :)

nice idea! at least a window.. trouble is everything has to be wipe clean and food safe.
Dom, love the defender project, one question I have is about vibration. How are you planning to stop noise of all this metal work when the couple are driving to the beaches?
Dom, what are you going to do with that old BSA Bantam, I think you should put it in a red GPO livery as a telegram delivery bike, I reckon you might get film work for it..

Look'n good.
2 *1 Wood is a great frame material easy to paint then clad with stainless
At least it wasn't raining!

I usually wear redwings, but during the winter ive been wearing some sorel outdoor boots
@@DominicChineas thank you for replying, I’ll look into picking some up!
Best 👢 i had were fat max by Stanley but they were a bit heavy. Never buy cheap boots. laces amongst others things let you down comfort is king never buy online test for half an hour in the shop good luck
How lucky is that Dom a free lift 👌 great video - hope you had something decent for your lunch today 😊
I know!! its very old and may need some work but I will get it going.. that may be another video!
@@DominicChineas I'm sure that you'll ' rise ' to the challenge ( pardon the pun) - looking forward to the update 👌😊
It’s not luck. You’re the sort of guy that makes the relationships that lead to gestures like this
And just when you were making progress... I’d love to see how this concludes & offer any help. Let me know?
is that a genuine 356 !!? 😳😳
it is yeah!
@@DominicChineas wow! superb mate!
How lucky was that falling on a two post ramp didn’t realise you used your own gear thought you had an RS set and a workshop set
I wish I could afford 2 sets of tools, its taken me most of my working life to gather the tools Ive got, I couldn't do it twice!

How long did it take for you to get all the tools you needed?
I don't think that day will ever come haha I have been gathering old tools from bootsales etc for as long as I can remember
Are there mandatory safety checks for these garage lifts?
I was saddened to learn that the BBC haven't given you a set of tools and equipment to use on set. What a grind.
Wheres the fancy roll along tool box!?
I left that at the repair shop!
Well spotted!
May be that lift will get in your way. you need to lobby gov and get two apprentices and a new workshop with all new stuff. The pencil is mightier than the socket set. Working on your own is not good.
What is the back story behind the Porche please Dom.
Probably not a helpful comment as I am a latecomer to your video Dom but cannot help wondering why the 'fridge' needs to be portable...better to install a static fridge than runs off an inverter or battery ?

Get a smallish skip and sell your scrap catering trailer needed
Any chance of a detailed video on welding aluminium?
hi dom gets some wheel dollies under that porsche cheap as chips and so easy to move cars about on your own
It’s going on the Celette bench very soon! Which has wheels haha
thanks for that dom i'll believe it when i see it ha ha you haven't got time to turn around,Anyway love these down to earth videos keeping up the tradition of "man in a shed" well ok in your case a unit take care
PS served my time on a lift like that
Hi there,fracino coffee machine, only espresso machine made in the UK,named after Frank and chino
selling food or drink in the UK requires proper refrigeration , a cool box will not suffice
