I sometimes envy the fact that you Brits live in the “old world!” The fact that you can just be walking along the river’s edge and just stumble across something as old as ROMAN POTTERY just kills me! The oldest things you can find here in America only date back to the 1700’s. Great video again Si 😉 I’m so glad you rescued those table legs and restored them! Your creation turned out gorgeous 🤗

[@Sifinds]

Thank you kindly - yes I do count myself very lucky!

[@tabbaranxx]

I know what you mean but there’s far older stuff to be found in America, there were people there before the 1700s

[@snarkycard]

I really enjoyed the restoration/upcycling of the table. Si, you have the artists eye and skills to go with it! Great video!

Hey Si I have taken two part epoxy 5 min dry after placing a hole leg in molding clay to make a mold. Then place broken one in the mold then pouring the two part fast drying epoxy in the missing section. Make sure you die the epoxy to try to match the metal. After it drys wash the clay off and smooth out edges.

Thank you 👍🏻

I learn so much from you, Si. Great finds.

I had a Great Uncle who was a radio operator in B-17 Fortresses. He was killed in Germany. So I have a special place in my life for the airmen during WW2. Great video and what a wonderful job on that table you up cycled. I love it.

[@Sifinds]

Thanks Lee!

[@mrpagrant]

Si, another way you could replace the missing piece from the leg and foot of the table would be to find someone with a 3-D printer. Since you have 2 complete legs with feet from the table, you could use measurements from them along with photographs to have the missing piece printed out!

[@kookaburrakookaburra]

Good idea fella. Or a black smith, they can take a cast and pour the mould.

@@Sifinds Agreed! Put a straight , maybe driftwood leg on the back side of that table to give it stability. Perfectly acceptable for that style 'against the wall' table. Nicely done.

[@douglassmith5414]

Great idea for the Pub Table. It came out beautiful. The legs turned out better than I had imagined they would. Nice job on the top and a nice touch with the copper nails. Pretty Aqua Bottle with the barnacles...Now that's a rare and special piece to add to someone's collection.

Thank you 👍🏻Gonna keep these bits myself i think

I swear, when I see you restore old treasures such as that table, it puts me in nirvana. It's so satisfying! Great work!!

[@maggie5736]

The story and pictures of the B-17 brought back memories. My father piloted a B-17 during WWII. They lost use of an engine too and had to return to base with a full load of bombs on board. They had to fly at a lower altitude and I don’t think they had fighter protection. My father said nothing looked better than the shores of England. I think he said the White Cliffs of Dover. It wasn’t likely the plane could land safely with one engine gone and the bombs. Everything was cleared around the landing strip. My Dad said he said a prayer and thank God they landed safely. One of his crew said it was one of the smoothest landings my father had ever made. I wonder if he knew that crew? I think B-17s had the highest mortality rate of any other division. I read a letter from him to my Grandmother saying he’d made 5 missions and had to make 35 more before he could go home. He was in his early 20’s from a rural town in Nebraska, USA. I don’t think he had a clue what was ahead for him. They hoped that was the last Great War.

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

Hey Simon -- did not know about those two B17s which crashed there. I had an uncle who was a B17 pilot and flew over 45 missions (he survived the war). Great heroes were the men who flew the bombers for the USAAF and the RAF -- risking their lives daily to protect the lives of those in the British Isles and slowly grind down the German forces. It's great to know that these men were memorialized for their sacrifice. Cheers!

[@lorihanlon2525]

My Grandpa was a B 17 turret gunner and flew in about 5 of the final missions. He lived to be 91.
