This episode has been a long time coming but it is definitely worth the wait; let me know what you think of the slightly different style of show compared to our usual workshop based videos... Enjoy!
Edd! Loved the music and slow-mo in this video, whoever's doing your film editing is doing a great job. And the Terminator-like music when the frame was lowering into the zinc was lols Welcome back man, we all missed you.
We really felt the Terminator vibe when we got to Shropshire Galvanizers; the place and process is so photogenic! @MarkTaylor-Hankins did a fantastic job.
Amazing! Congratulations Edd and thanks for being with us again!!! Of course it was worth the time, effort and hard work beforehand!!! congratulations to the professionals at Shropshire Galvanizers... true professionals!!!
What a wonderful video. Not only excellent quality of video and editing, but also music that enhanced the experience. BUT my main take was the fact that Ed's commentary and questions were spot on. No messing around, theatrics, or deliberately silly questions that take the audience for fools. SUBSCRIBED.
@@JetFire9 I'm not so sure that Mike was the problem. It's those program producers who like to take things down to the lowest level. They think their viewers are imbeciles.
A lot of men in a shed ( A very large shed ). Manufacturing skills at there best There are lots of little places around the country doing things like this and keeping these skills alive. Great to see in the UK today.

There's something about those sheds in Shropshire...
Welcome back Edd, really missed your excellent vlogs. I really hope this is the start of more regular episodes again, it used to be essential viewing and will be again.
@@19892CV Yeah, it's like an Amazon series that comes out with new episodes every 3 years and you have to rewatch the old ones to remember what was going on.
As an old sheet metal worker, I really appreciate Edd China's talent in the time and effort put into his vehicle's restoration, you can throw all the money in a project but the the quality is in doing it right, the detail in what you don't see is far more important then what you do. By the way, great video, its like a terminator film set with the editing and music.
Quite fitting , the chassis was built in Shropshire, galvanized in Shropshire. Birth place of industry. First iron bridge . First multi storey building built with iron. Shropshire really is the birth place of the modern world..
That was visually stunning. I found the beauty of the liquid metal incredible....could have watched it all day!! That has to be up these as one of your best Edd.
Just gotta say, the audio and visuals at the 16:00 mark were fantastic. Needed to say this out loud. Now I’m going to rewind and watch again. Stunning. 👍
The sound on the slow motion parts was head and shoulders above the crowd for car repair and modification videos! The influence of Hans Zimmer is very clear. His film scores have been described as a Panzer division landing on the soundscape. In this case, it's more like a ballerina materializing out of a teleporter in mid pirouette. Gentle and graceful. Give that person a raise!!
Thank you. @MarkTaylor-Hankins did raise the bar on this one so we might let him out of the cage this week. Might even give him some extra crumbs! A fantastic job! Looking forward to the BRIFFA or whatever they call them!
The musical influences pre-date Hans Zimmer. This owes everything to the Blade Runner soundtrack by Vangelis and The Terminator by Brad Fiedel. No doubt Hans was later influenced by them though. Although back in the 80s his most famous work was the theme tune to BBC daytime quiz show Going for Gold.
Only one word - epic!! Are you going for some sort of award? Mesmerising in places....your cameraman and video/music editors really know their stuff. PS: Welcome back!!
@@MarkTaylor-Hankins Well, it felt like a big budget movie in places - so impresssed and I really enjoyed it - looking forward to your next epic! Mind you, the bar is now set very high!
Absolutely awesome! A great insight into the galvanising process, with a lovely looking result, and if I may say so…amazing video production quality. (And 4K UHD too)!
My 23 year old son here in the U.S. drives a 96 Range Rover.. we got long ago for not much, and found an engine... he said he will never let it go... thank you for all your years, we have always enjoyed your work....
Ed and production team, by far the best episode (finally! ) You've done stunning video work and very informative, I was getting a bit bored with the lack of progress and you've re energised the passion for this project. Very Terminator... Dedum dum duddum.. I'll be back!
Got to say. Thia episode was astonishingly good. Good description of the galvanising and the music overlay was brilliant adding just the right amount of atmosphere. Bravo 👏👏👏
This brought me back to my primary school years that we used to go field trips to factories to see how do they do it and felt like I am 8 years old observing&admiring professionals alongside our teacher Edd. Once again thank you very much for another great video. I wish you all the best for you and your relatives and friends. 👋
Great video on an interesting and exciting subject - metal, respectively chassis galvanizing. Never seen this process so detailed. There is a lot of knowledge, experience and craftsmanship involved. Chapeau! 👍
This has been one of the best automotive RU-vid episodes I've seen. The Videography and the music were great. You made an industrial process look beautiful. Credit to all involved.
@@eddchinaif I’d gotten a penny for every time you said that over the past 2 years, I’d be a very rich man by now. Don’t say it if you can’t keep your promises, no matter what the reasons are.
This was definitely worth watching on the big TV, cuz man was that some beautiful footage. I also loved the Legally Distinct Terminator music 😆. It just fit so well.
Beautifully shot and edited video. The soundscape, music and visuals had undertones of both Terminator and Blade Runner. Very well done on a great video.👌
Great to see you back Ed. Great to see you've hit a million subscribers too. Hopefully you do something special with your play button. Episode was well made alright. Great shot of the worker throwing shapes as he walked across the screen.
I love the little musical nod to Brad Fiedel's score to Terminator 2: Judgment Day: it's over (good-bye) score, when the chassis was finally Zinc dipped. The music fit so well. Well done.
It's a long time between drinks but that was beautifully done. The film work and music really framed the power of the process. To have one's hundred inch chassis galvanised is instantly a most desirable ambition.
We waited a while but this one is possibly your west video yet, absolutely loving the production vales in this, great content story-wise. Well done and thanks.
Brilliant ED China strikes again. Thoroughly enjoyable yet informative episode and yes, I do live in the outer Hebridean isles (Thanks to your chap at Shropshire Galvanisers for recognising we exist) and you do need as much protection on your metal as you can get as it is very unforgiving environment for rmetal work. All the best to everyone involved in making this excellent video. 👋👌
Incredible job! It's very satisfying to see that this kind of knowledge is always used. England has always world class crafsmanships / metallurgy. Really great to see that kind of work
Great episode, glad to see you back and looking forward to the next instalment, it’s come such a long way since the initial strip down such a huge difference! Fantastic editing btw, really noticed the attention to detail.
@@eddchina Hi Edd you really are an inspiration, I have tinkered with cars all my life and always had the dream of building a kit car but that never came to fruition, anyway I have built an electric go cart for our granddaughter with a lot of 3D printing so I guess that will have to suffice 🤔
Hot dip galvanizing can change the Tensile strength of the steel. Making it prone to cracking. Just ask a carpenter if there is a difference between driving regular nails and galvanized nails.
So very cool to see this process! It's also very cool that there are so many insanely good companies out there doing all sorts of stuff that you normally don't even think of until you need their services! Can't wait to see that thing powder-coated! 😁👍
Ed I was wondering when this project was going to continue, you've been away for a while, glad to see you back, great progress on the chassis....Javi G.
So happy to see you back Ed, missed you and your positivity. Really interesting stuff in this video, thanks for filming it, and all the hard work editing etc. Hope to see more very soon!
Very, very interesting, thank you for the video👍🏻👍🏻 It always amazes me when watching videos like this how someone sat down and thought about doing (& how) this in the first place🤔🤔 Terminator (ish) music as the chassis went into the zinc tank, awesome 🤣🤣
What a superbly instructive video. The camera work was top notch and the music complementary. I learnt so much about the technical aspects of galvanising. I won't knock the current WD's videos so many do, but what you're doing now is a world away from your old show. Looking forward to the powder coating episode. QQ: Why the long gaps between episodes may I ask?
Good to see you again edd, wether your doing workshop jobs, or showing us the process for refurbing the rangie chassis it's all utterly interesting. Looking forward to see what you have coming up next.😊
Hola Ed y muchas gracias por tu vídeo tan técnico en el baño de galvanizado. Soy tu seguidor desde hace muchos años y siempre he estado contigo y te he apoyado en cualquier circunstancia. Eres un gran profesional. Un saludo desde España.
Wall to wall talent. These guys are classic independent specialists doing the best work to the highest standard. So proud of all they do and happy to share and explain the whole process.
It is perhaps the ultimate irony that the last part of this chassis that will succumb to rust in the far distant future, will be the patches you welded on! 🙂 Also a good example of the five 'P' rule: Prior Preparation Prevents Poor Performance (that's the YT friendly version).
Fantastic to see this process. Your commentary fits so well. The editing and music, with the wee tip to Terminator was very clever, as the chassis was getting lowered into the bath....brilliant! Great channel.
And straight back to the chassis jig to try straighten the frame after it got all warped from the hot dip galvanizing. Hopefully the frame jig can pull in the directions that the frame decided to warp
Absolutely amazing job, Edd ! I Particularly enjoyed the excellent presentation in zincing process. The BGM, the video editing, the camera angles with spot-on amount of dialogues, makes the episode much better than documentary shows on major TV networks. You have yet again set a new height for the bar of our favorite show. Please keep it coming.
Absolutely FANTASTIC episode!! Thoroughly enjoyed this seeing the galvanizing up close. Matched with the sparse electronic background music made this heaven for me 😊
Great to have you back! The process is quite involved and I’m glad you covered it. Quite interesting. I guess it’s like a lot of other things, the better the prep, the better the results.
Brilliant Edd! I love the format and the quality. Very interesting and entertaining episode. Now Ill go back down and stare at my series and wonder how I' m ever going to fix all the rust 🙂
These guys are way nicer than any galvanizer i have ever had any experience with. Everywhere i used would blow a hole with a oxy/acy torch anywhere they thought it needed it, not nice holes either big 3/4" jagged holes.
It has been a VERY long time getting to this point with the chassis. I would never have thought you could have achieved this much progress with it. But there's no hint of making do. It's a proper job. Let's hope the rest of the Range Rover ends up matching the quality of the chassis. This has certainly been a labour of love.
Beautifully shot, I love new galv. This is what we all want, lots of detail, properly presented by experts and none of the fake jeopardy bollocks that you get with almost all tv stuff these days. Always a pleasure to watch you and I always end up learning something. I don’t realise the thickness was controlled by the surface finish.
My very first job out of school was working in a galvanising factory in Melbourne Australia. This has certainly brought back some memories. It was interesting that there were some differences. I wonder if that is due to progress in techniques and safety measures. An informative and well presented episode.
Blimey that was.......................... epic. Very enjoyable watch. Seeing the Chassis disappear into the zinc was reminiscent of the terminator, hehehehe.
