So, how are canal lock gates made? We find out at the Canal & River Trust Stanley Ferry Workshop.
They hold back thousands of gallons of water and control height on the canal network, but how are canal lock gates made?
They've been making lock gates at the Canal and River Trust's Stanley Ferry workshop for many years. Enjoy this episode and find out how.
Many thanks to the Canal and River Trust for allowing us to film the workshop. You can find out more about the Stanley Ferry workshop here canalrivertrust.org.uk/news-a...

A big "Thank You" from the western side of The Pond. We have nothing comparable to your narrowboats or public system of canals for simply touring around the country. You have provided a massive amount of information for what looks to be a very interesting lifestyle [I was an unscheduled early retirement, and you can guess how appealing it looks for keeping active and diverted].

Seriously though it has to be one of the best videos you guys have done. It's great to see the skill and craftsmanship that goes on in keeping the network going as many people might not understand just how much time and effort it takes so top marks for the video.

It might be cool if you did a bit on them dredging the canal floors while they are filled with water. What kind of interesting stuff gets pulled up come the bottom during dredging. Or any other non lock maintenance. Maybe tour some old lock keeper cottages that have been maintained in a historical manner.

Once again a great and professional presentation. Thanks guys. I will resist any 'Carry On' innuendo... although there were plenty of opportunities, as shown in the last outtake. I loved the way Andrew pronounced "Hoops". The have a slight accident oops.

Ah, don't hold back, Bob. Grab the innuendo where it feels good and let go 😂

@@FoxesAfloat Haha. maybe next time. My favourite Carry On Coment. Lady with a guest in her flat shoos away a cat. " Get off the sofa Cooking Fat" The guest says " Cooking fat?" She replies "Well...That's what the caretaker calls it! "

Incredible precision in the mortises and tenons- huge pieces of timber. What a wonderful job they do making such a critical piece of the infrastructure of the canal systems. Many thanks for such an educational and entertaining episode. 😃👌👌👏👏👏👏👏

You’ve done it again. Another fascinating vlog. There is so much more to our canal system than mere stretches of water. These departures from the accepted norms, are what set your channel apart from the rest. Keep up the good work
