Well I just got absolutely bamboozled. You, sir, are a scoundrel and a rascal, how DARE you trick me with such high quality entertainment and astonishing modelling skills. I trusted you, Michael.
These are fascinating buildings! Amusingly, there is a description of some of their operation in one of the exercises in Sir Horace Lamb's classic fluid mechanics text -- I had not realized this was not otherwise reported. The "chimneys" that you referred to are in fact chimneys of a sort; though for heated air rather than smoke. The dye's drying absorbs oxygen from the air and creates a significant amount of heat, and this heat causes a draft that pulls air in through the ventilation tunnels and out the chimneys. The dyed material is placed on large reel-like frames around the ventilation tunnels, and rotated to ensure even distribution of the wind across the material. Lamb's exercise concerned selecting an optimal rotation rate for the frames. He explains that early versions used wooden constructions around graphite spindles to rotate the frames. (Any metal would have been corroded by the dyes. I have elsewhere seen some claims that lead was also used in place of the graphite, but that seems to be spurious as it would not have worked well.) Improved versions used motorized spindles that provided a constant and faster rate of rotation, producing a much more even wind and better results. The initial production of the dye involved bubbling it under a partial vacuum for some hours to concentrate it, and with the primitive chemistry of the day, it was believed that the need to provide air to the dye during the drying process was replacing the air (actually primarily ethanol vapors) removed during the production process, and as such, the process of rotating the reels in the dye drying works was naturally referred to as "re-winding." It is also reported that the operation of the early dye drying works produced a characteristic hissing noise from the motion. In 1868, an engineer by the name of Dolby introduced a "Type B" system that substantially reduced this noise. However, he is better known for producing sound systems for Victorian panoramas, providing the sound from all directions to match the artwork.
It’s not often I get fooled on April 1st. You had me googling this during your video even though I could see the narrow building was totally impractical. My brain was screaming “not possible” but still I looked!! Well done sir !
Good job I looked at the comments, otherwise for the rest of my life I would have believed in the dye drying works. I hope this great model will find a corner in Chandwell.
Michael, you got me going at first ! Your standard of workmanship never faulters, although I always admire the re-use of other materials to achieve a convincing model. 😅 ❤
Very entertaining Michael - very nice accompiament to my poached egg breakfast. Excellent modelling skills and almost believable until the very prominent date stared out at me on your desk 😂 Good one Michael - almost as good as the old BBC one about the Spagetti harvest😅 cheers Euan
As soon as I saw the drawing I said that's an upside down cassette tape, and bugger me so it was. Genuinely entertaining April fool spoof, well played sir, I doff my bowler to you. However I do expect it to appear somewhere on Chandwell!
Didn't twig until the closing scene with the prominent calendar in the background. Regardless it's a nice looking structure which I think deserves a place on the layout.
I’ve finally caught up !!!! . . . I’m looking forward to getting back to my regular Friday afternoon cuppa and biscuits whilst viewing the latest episode now that the builders and decorators have finished repairing the fire damage in the kitchen.
I believe the windows were used as observation points to observe the ducks flying backwards to our famous treacle mines in Pudsey further down the valley.
Very considerate of those Victorian engineers to design buildings with future modellers in mind. Let’s hope the preservation society gets a boost tomorrow when their efforts become known to the general public……
Stumbling across this not on April 1st is very confusing! I wasn't even questioning the veracity until the plug building, at which point it was 'hang on a sec...' :D
Blimey Michael I didn’t see the hint coming up on the last video (my next one might be delayed - I might post it on Monday - the date didn’t click). And yes the idea of cassette tapes and plugs made me chuckle, as well as that brush. The detail in the Victorian engineering magazine is phenomenal, looks very realistic. A different Chandwell video as you say but there’s still some good tips, like the grimy windows! Cheers Michael and Happy Easter
Meanwhile, in a parallel universe, where this building wasn't demolished Starbucks in Chandwell opened in 2004; the narrowest branch in their entire property portfolio.
Just stumbled across your channel, and your approach and constructions are fascinating! Very eager to watch more of your videos. Kind Regards from Michigan, USA
What a resemblance to the cassette. What a great idea you had on this one Michael, you went over the top. Great inspiration and great imagination on these buildings you matched it to the letter. Always enjoy what you are building. I’m working on one of the Scale Scenes Factory Warehouse and building some of their inventory of walls etc. working on Inkscape while watching your videos. As always thank you for sharing your knowledge and making better modelers out of us.
Great stuff, hilarious. I must admit it took me awhile to catch on. Maybe because I have binged all your videos over the last few weeks and this one came out of left field. I'm now caught up and will have to put up with being drip fed your excellent series. And I must disclose I'm a static modeller. But the work on your layout is absolutely amazing and can be appreciated across our convergent disciplines.
Very good video Michael. I had to watch it twice to realise the significance of this model. What a shame there are no surviving images of these to record how many there were around the North of England 😂
You put so much effort into making this very plausible. I was second guessing it most of the way through ! - Well done, looking at the comment it's caught a lot of people out, at least until the big give away of the date appeared. This sir was one of the best April Fools prank I've seen in a long time !!
Very innovative, albeit April 1st. I was once challenged to create a gas tower from a toilet brush, such fun and got to be done every now and then. Thx for BH Monday fun. Happy Easter!
Wonderful story and beautiful building! Who did the nice drawing of the Drying works in the “magazine”? It is a very good imitation of 19th century drawing style.
If it wasn´t for the "1st of April" sign, I would beleive you totally! Nevertheless, this is an absolutely amazing piece! Once again, you showed yor Mastery!
Michael Great video, you found another obscure Rabbit Hole to explore Victorian Curiosity Buildings. Both your and Adrain prototypes are interesting. Well modelled unusual building as ever I can see why the people of Chandwelll want to restore this. I was Checking an old book by Yorkshire TV presenter Austin Mitchell when there is a little mention of these Short Lived Dye Drying Towers, it says used a process called Lirpa Loof o Loof Lirpa dependant on your local dialect but which is the Yorkshire translation which originally comes from the Italian. As there were similar Towers in Northern Italy to dry the Spaghetti after it was Harvested. The BBC did a film of harvest in the 1950’s. Great you managed to get the video out on the 136th anniversary of The Engineer Article, 67th anniversary of the BBC film. Ian
Well, Michael…… You did tell me about this on Saturday at York and I did anticipate that it was going to be an April fools! However. It wasn’t until the end that I suddenly realised what it was. Well done with Brittany (I always enjoy her visits to your videos) and the giant brush is at the end was a good touch. It made me laugh but I really hope you are going to leave the building there as the reflection on the river was exceptional.
Dear Michael, love the pun! Great to see a Dye Drying Works being revived on Chandwell. Anyhow, what absolutely stunned me was how the original drawing from 18-sometime is of such to the millimeter accuracy to the measurement of a cassette. Kind of wonderful you found it amongst your book or collection of the railway bridges. The author must have astounded by the beauty of these structures. Cool to see the former drying process join hands with the obsolete audio carrier from the 20th century. Must add there that the cassettes I once taped always seemed to have the characteristic sound quality of dry sound. On using discarded household material for modeling; packaging straps, cardboard, ice cream cone domes, lollipop sticks, pill boxes, pill 💊 casings, pill strips, wire, thread, rope, cloth, aluminum foil, aluminum tape, and lots, lots more. Cheerio
Taking a Time Machine from 1993 into 2024, it seems that Brittany Scroggins' appeal for funding did indeed work. This unique structure has been fully restored, and is now Grade 1, a centerpiece of a fully gentrified and trendy Chandwell. Good Times!
Eggcellent work here. I will think of this alongside my memories of the spaghetti trees of Italy and the dehydrated water tablets used for camping... Just expose to sunlight in a suitable container to make a gallon of water per tablet.
In similar vein, viewers of an earlier generation might remember the freelance Sabden Valley Railway and it's treacle mines. I believe a 19th century entrepreneur transported an entire Cornish tin mine to the Sabden Valley so that the treacle could be brought to the surface ready tinned......!
Michael Just check the online UK Railways Railtour Website. On 1st April 1986 The Chandwell Unavoider, which organised by BR (E) & Rail Enthusiasts Magazine. Which ran it was mainly hauled last class 40 D200 but Chandwell area had 31 200 Railtour Express, this was 1st train it worked since been named and also the last tour to use 45 015. Hope this is interest. 31 200 was added at Chandwell to allow the tour to go into Pig Hill Yard and covering a few freight only branches before D200 did the final Leeds Carlisle leg. Ian
Michael Looking further into this Tour it was a round trip from Carlisle and visited a few less known Freight Sidings in Lancashire & Yorkshire including K Dodd’s Knotty Ash Treacle Mine, Bolton’s P Kay Cheesecake Works, viewing Chandwell Dye Drying Tower from Rose Beck Bridge and Arkwright Ponterfract Liquorice Works. In the website article the tour participants reported it was a good laugh. Ian
Damn, that was going to be my next guess! Aye, right! ;-) I love being able to reuse crap, I mean quality items, on projects like this. I'm currently building a large stone single arch bridge from the polystyrene that came around a pancake maker my wife got. In the 70s I lived in Barrow-in-Furness and we used to regularly pass the Reckitt's Blue factory where every building was.......you've guessed it, blue. Cheers
The pronuciation of UHU as "ooo-hoo" is German, English speaking countries pronounce it as "yoo-hoo" (you-who). It was developed by August Fischer in 1932, it was named after Uhu, the onomatopoeic German name for the eagle-owl.
Yes I know him. The patent for the glue was bought to Enlgand by is sister April. She married an Englishman called Forrest and their orginal building was made of wood. Sadly it burnt down and had to be rebuilt out of repurposed brickabrack.
Watching this on the 2nd, with foolishness almost forgotten, what made it look suss was the thinness of the building. How would that dry anything? Not even a towel! Still, I hope it remains in Chandwell, somewhere, as a monument to guile. As for the plug building - is it an escapee from the Yorkshire sequel to Star Wars?
Based on the surviving information, yes, the more-common ones like this were quite skinny. These works were typically measured by the number of parallel sets of dyed fabric that they could handle at one time, and this represents a standard two-track version. Also reasonably common were 8-track versions that could dry the fabric with better accuracy, but many mills felt they weren't worth the extra expense.
@@BrooksMosesI would imagine the drying process would get interrupted halfway through the process, and the Urchins would have to alter some piece of machinery to allow it to continue, albeit after a very loud "clunky"!
If you removed the tabs on the cassette would it stop the building being erased?
Yes! They should have done that back in the day!
Well I just got absolutely bamboozled. You, sir, are a scoundrel and a rascal, how DARE you trick me with such high quality entertainment and astonishing modelling skills. I trusted you, Michael.
HK Hermit!

You Sir are a master at your craft.
goddammit
This one wins!!
For what is essentially a throw away joke video, the level of modelling is still amazing.
Thank you!
I've heard there was an interview with the engineer's grandson, but the tape has since become lost.

Loved the spaghetti harvest! 🤣
"We are dyeing to save our works" ;-) Perfect!
Exactly!
The drawing of the dryer is pure steam punk. It goes without saying that the modelling is superb, but I'll say it anyway.
Thank you!
LOL. You almost managed to keep a straight face through that.
🤣
As soon as I saw the drawing I said that's an upside down cassette tape, and bugger me so it was. Genuinely entertaining April fool spoof, well played sir, I doff my bowler to you.
However I do expect it to appear somewhere on Chandwell!
🤣🤣
Your Drying house is missing the Graphite Shaft Spindle Winder.
And the furfle valves....
🤣
Didn't twig until the closing scene with the prominent calendar in the background. Regardless it's a nice looking structure which I think deserves a place on the layout.
Thank you!
I’ve finally caught up !!!! . . . I’m looking forward to getting back to my regular Friday afternoon cuppa and biscuits whilst viewing the latest episode now that the builders and decorators have finished repairing the fire damage in the kitchen.
Yes! Nice to have you back!
I believe the windows were used as observation points to observe the ducks flying backwards to our famous treacle mines in Pudsey further down the valley.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You had the whole time. I did not catch on until I read some comments. I liked the really large brush.
Yeah!
That massive comedy paint brush was brilliant 🤣
That wasn't even meant to be funny! It was just my usual varnishing brush up against the wide angle lens. But it did look rather ridiculous!
Very considerate of those Victorian engineers to design buildings with future modellers in mind. Let’s hope the preservation society gets a boost tomorrow when their efforts become known to the general public……
you both ... her voice ... so nice ... I enjoyed this story very much
They were very considerate!
Stumbling across this not on April 1st is very confusing! I wasn't even questioning the veracity until the plug building, at which point it was 'hang on a sec...' :D

Good one there Michael... Better than the Calendar news programme about the licourice trees. most enjoyable.
🤣
I so do love the very beginnings of this months modeling endeavors...
Thank you!
haha. Very good sir. It wasn't until the end that I realised what it was. 🤣😂

It was the electric plug that gave it away. How did you get the old photos?
The old "photos" were also fake. You may have seen them in the follow-up video I did.
Is the dye drying works in Chandwell a graded listed structure? Bill from California
Oh it should be!
For some reason, the look of the building reminds me something I saw on Grand Design.
Haha yeah! Probably even less sensible on there!

Yes I know him. The patent for the glue was bought to Enlgand by is sister April. She married an Englishman called Forrest and their orginal building was made of wood. Sadly it burnt down and had to be rebuilt out of repurposed brickabrack.
Cool!
I dont agree, if its pronounced that way in the original German than he is saying it correctly 😂
APRIL FOOLS!!!!!

You can always turn the vents with a pencil if you need to.
