Edd China’s Workshop Diaries video series

[BruceK]

Starting a new thread to feature and discuss the tall man's new weekly video series.

The first one here helps us catch up on what he's been doing lately.

[BruceK]

And the second episode is down to business with wrenching on a Range Rover that has basically turned into a terrarium.   

Interestingly, the non-running Range Rover continues with the exact same reliability as when it was on the road.

[MiniDave]

 A little less talk, and a little more wrenching?

That RR is the very definition of "manky"!   ;D

[BruceK]

A little less talk, and a little more wrenching?

Well, yes.  But I really didn't need to see several minutes on working off the 2 bolts that hold the hood latch. 

[MiniDave]

Agreed. so a little tighter editing too?

[BruceK]

Episode 3 is just out now and it's your chance to see a nice petrol fountain! 

[MiniDave]

Edd.......a little less chat, a little more wrenching please.... ::)

As soon as it didn't work with the jump leads I would have ordered a new pump - sitting for 10 years? That pump is NOT going to work.

[BruceK]

So... I've been wondering this for a while: what's the deal with the extra D in Edd?   Is it some weird British thing that doesn't translate to American?   Like naming people Antony instead of Anthony?  Or using whilst instead of while? 

[MiniDave]

or aluminium?

I think it's just one of those odd things....

[BruceK]

or aluminium?

I think it's just one of those odd things....

Or maybe it's one of those od things.  ;D

[BruceK]

New episode.

[BruceK]

The latest one.

[BruceK]

Mini content this episode!  But not exactly.

[ve9aa]

Orange ya glad he posted this one?

Fun!

[MiniDave]

That would be fun to take to a car show! But it has to be hot in there - even in cold rainy England he had to drive with the back door open....really fun to see that tho

[BruceK]

Laser scanning, CAD, and a waterjet feature in this episode.

[BruceK]

Orange you glad there is more Mini content! 

[ve9aa]

I am!

Good episode, heavy in Mini content.

[MiniDave]

I learn something in almost everyone of these videos, and not just the ones from Edd. This time I learned that his gloves are two layers, instead of just one, and that's why they don't rip and tear like mine do - and that he sells his patented orange gloves online.

I always wondered what the story was behind those orange ball minis, I wonder if the same firm did the green VW ones too?

[BruceK]

It's nice he's been producing one a week and we can count on seeing them.

Did you catch why he wears the gloves?  Medical tests pointed to hydrocarbon traces in his blood.

Edd really does have petrol running in his veins!  (Or did)

[MiniDave]

I'm sure I have traces in mine too, since I have never worn gloves when working on cars ever in my whole life!

[BruceK]

More Edd. Dealing with the workshop. 

[BruceK]

Some Mini and MINI content.  Actually a lot of MINI.  Crazy how much rust it has.

I don't think Edd has ever explained what's going on with the chopped up Mini in the background either. Anyone know? 

[BruceK]

As Neil Young said, Rust Never Sleeps. 

But Edd looks to tackle it anyway.
