I bought Joby's sign-writing book on Dom's recommendation, it's very good. I love Carter's Steam Fair, many happy memories made there!

Absolutely brilliant so cool to see behind the scenes Joby is absolutely amazing and the steam fair is beautiful ❤

Amazing behind the scenes

Another great vid Dom. Joby is a top bloke. You do know rather a lot of them don't you.

Visited the fair a number of times at West Wycombe, what impressed me was how fresh the paintwork was convinced Joby spent all winter painting his kit. Sad he won't be at Pedestal field again. A genuine showman.

Love these, Dom. My goal is to be the first to watch each week. So far I have not attained that goal but there's always next week!

Epic is hardly the word and this was an awesome video. Loved it start to finish. The beauty and happiness to see the signs and all the rest was wonderful, thank you Dom. I miss the days of my youth in the 50's and 60's. Cheers mate!!!1

Don AND Joby in one video? fantastic!!

Great video Dom brings back memories for me when one guy I Worked for was mad for steam engines, rode on them and worked on them, it's a whole nother world.

One of my earliest memories was going to Billy Smart's Circus. Also since I was a little girl my favourite thing is proper old fashioned Galloping Horses. Always my favourite fairground attraction and Carters have the very best one.

This was one of the most amazing fairs i use to always go to it when it was in my area and also use to take my daughter to it . The atmosphere was amazing with all the rides and the smells , i hope they do find a permanent home as would be a crime to loose a piece of history . Thank you Dom for giving them a bit of advertisement..

That's where knighthoods Should go! People like that who are so incredibly passionate about what they do.

What a great bloke! Joby seems a genuine cobber too!! Thanks Dom, nice to see Joby again. His craftsmanship is amazing. Les

Hi Dom, What can you say, Fantastic, All the best Brian 😃

Wow to the signwriting! Beautiful, what a talent.

Very nice to meet you on the open day, really awesome video.

Lovely. I was at Carters yard in 2014, too. awesome place & The end of an era, with the travelling. I was at the letterheads meet at High Wycombe this year & witnessed the glories of the fair in full swing. Had an fantastic weekend.

Hi Dom.... Another brilliant video so thank you for posting, at 10.24 there is a painting of a green coloured racing car, that is the "Vanwall special" which Sir Sterling Moss and other famous drivers use to race, the Vandervell factory where they manufactured the thin wall bearings was close to where you filmed this video in Maidenhead, unfortunately the production site was demolished and is now an industrial area, so there is a lot of engineering history in that area that may interest you being an engineer. Vandervell bearings are still being manufactured in Scotland but are now part of the Mahle group. Vandervell also had a factory in Tremorfa, Wales where they produced pressed steel rocker arms for camshafts, and thrust washers for crankshafts, but i believe that factory was also closed in the reorganisation. All the best to you and your family Dom, have a great Christmas. Best regards, Stefano

Super video Dom, that really brings back some memories for me. My wife's maiden was Edwards, her family used to travel round the South East of England with their fun fair. I remember when I first visited her family at their depot they weren't at all sure of me as I was a "flatty", not part of the travelling showman world. Anyway, I was obviously accepted..... that was over fifty years ago. I remember visiting their family wagon. It was a superb two tone grey Colchester. A real work of art, simply beautiful inside. But my word that was a hard life. They too gave it all up when they could see that costs were rising and people wanted more and more sophisticated entertainment. A shame, but that's the way of the world. Good luck to Joby I am convinced he will find a successful next step.

Lovely video. We used to take out children to the Fair in the 1990's when they visited Hersham Green in Surrey.

Absolutely love all your stuff Dom..These beautiful people are so passionate and attention to detail is second to none. keeping the old skills and more importantly Memories and nostalgia alive.

Another fascinating video Dom. As a petrolhead with no artistic talent whatsoever I'm more into the vehicles - just loved the Showtrac, the 50's Scammell being restored and the AEC Matador. Keep up the good work and bring us more like this.

I just love your films, thank you so much.

What an awesome place. I’ve seen Joby a few times on Henry Cole’s motorcycle programmes but this is an additional in-depth view into Joby’s life and work.

been to the steam fair a cpl of times when a friend of mine ran the stag and hounds pub in pinknes green

Great video, thanks for sharing and informing. Brilliant.

Absolutely superb video. Please get Joby on again - what a star.

I bought Joby's book, so much Brilliant inspiration there, think i need a weeks holiday there on one of his courses..

What a great place.

Hi Dom, yes your right mate , I did a course with joby Carter and absolutely loved it , he is a great guy And very knowledgeable. 5 stars for his sign writing courses, best regards Franko

Hay that was a good one, most interesting :)

Excellent tour Dom amazing artistic talent by Joby Carter & good to see the fair equipment. I remember going with parents to Billy Smarts circus so good to see the acts It was so good in the 50`s & 60`s to see the shows.

Visited Carters steam fair every year as a child. Been back many times since. Sad it's gone.

Great video. I am the chap who asked who you were at Jobys yard. Ooops. Apologies if it came across a bit rude I just wanted to add your channel to my list and glad I did as you have brilliant content.

Love it, well done everyone. Ooh I bought the book for my brother, but finding a fudge wheel to add to his Christmas is proving a pain. ( I always buy him a strange tool. A tape measure that displays diameters, Digital spirit level that has a readout for the angles, a Japanese wood turners finishing saw and the quite hilarious brush for cleaning a hose. It's a flexible spiral with a brush on the inside of the spiral.)

Thank god someone is keeping those skills alive.

Great video Dom. I was walking past you as you were recording the final piece to camera - on my way back up to the yard to do the outro to my own VLOG. Sorry not to have seen you before then as it would have been good to meet you.

Sensational!

Just wow!

Hi Dom, nice vid, i am a signwriter and coach painter by trade, been to letterheads meets both at Carters yard and on the fair a couple of times, i think i spotted a sign that i wrote for an auction on the wall display in Joby's shop, i wondered who had bought it !! now i know, i am retired from full time work but keep my hand in repainting Romany Waggons and Drays with the odd sign thrown into the mix.

Just came across this video by accident - Don't live far from the yard - didn't realise the scope he covers - Great Video - Cheers ...

Everything great about You Tube in one neat film.

Fantastic video Dom. Joby and Carter's steam fair are legendary. Sign writing par excellence!! Didn't know they're going to stop touring now. Hope a permanent site for the collection gets found. My Grandfather worked for Scammel in Rickmansworth and would take a truck home for "testing" 😁 Great memories!!

Lucky enough to go to jobbies final fairground weekend at Reading met the man bought his book. But I am blind so can’t see the book but it’s nice to have. Would love to go down and do a bit of coach painting with him are used to restore old lorries in the day still can do amazing things Lost my eyes, nothing else. Great video

Very interesting film, love your book and thanks for the mention . If you’d would like a tour here, you’d be very welcome . Cheers Reggy

I can see you Dom and Colin Furze doing a project together.

I got the bookl!

Brilliant vid Dom😉

Very interesting. I go to Hollycombe Steam every year. They have night time fairs in the summer.

Brilliant

Dan the man is back

Impresif content Dom!! Thank You. 😀👍

Great to see crafts being kept alive and tribute paid to working class history and culture by joby and his guys … massive respect for what you are doing

I’m looking forward to Carters steam fair auction this weekend, though tinged with sadness that Joby is having to have a clear out.. It comes to us all eventually and I know all too well as I’ve got 4 barns full of kit collected over the past 60 years, to sort when my old man pops off this mortal coil. 😢 If I win the lottery, I’ll be sending Joby enough money to preserve everything for the foreseeable…

Can't buy your tool book just yet Dom. Not sure if I'm getting it for Xmas. Crackin' video as always. You're well on your way to national treasure status.

I wonder if he would do a stint on Repair Shop... Just sign writing. But then someone needs a repair...

I miss joby on you tube

Comment!

Thank you my lord I really appreciate what you do for me and my family, $37,000 profits surly God has a way of blessing those who believe in him!!!
