How to restore RUSTY METAL SCULPTURE

[@wanderwoman5558]

Revelation..! I now have a method to rescue so many objects of my family heritage. Brilliant 👏

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Love to hear it…let me know how it works out for you. D

[@joanfreestone1707]

I liked the cat when you first bought it, David, but it looks gorgeous now, glowing in the sunlight. Excellent restoration job.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Thanks Joan , I love doing jobs like this

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Here’s me buying this cat! kzbin.info/www/bejne/emqthauYd6iZfNU

[@mickfromaustralia902]

The best bits (as judged in Australia) in no particular order is Rosie getting cranky, Wendy's scrunching on the gravel as she films and David forgetting to put on safety gear. Good job team, such a fun session and the home-grown quality makes it special. And the animal was pretty groovy too :)

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

We try to keep it natural ( i.e no prior preparation!)

[@jamesclayton3388]

Transformation!..very well done David!..

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Cheers James

[@phoneboxman1968]

Stunning transformation David🔥🔥🔥

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Thank you. D

[@sjt609]

Truly amazing, well done David. I would never think of purchasing that cat, let alone thinking I could restore it. Its gorgeous, I love it!! (🇨🇦)

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Thanks Susan, he’s happier indoors!

[@pauldaviesantiques1556]

Great job, David. From wood to metal to even some stone, wire wool and a bit of polish work wonders!

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Trade secrets!

[@japantiquejapantique9679]

Purrrrrrfect restoration job David :0)

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Thank you!

[@vermontdancer7804]

Fantastic video and tutorial on DIY restoration. Thanks for all the work and details that you put on your videos!

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Thank you very much!

[@peterwaddick8052]

Great job David . I was a little sceptical at first considering it’s condition but the cat looks amazing

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Cheers Peter

[@felco1547]

Great but you could try using wire wool instead of sandpaper

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Yes, wire wool is as good. I just use what I have at the moment!

[@salfordnurse]

great video. Is there a reason you chiseled away at the 'carbuncles' rasher say than something like emery paper?

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

much quicker and easier!

[@oscarschofield4882]

Will be interesting to see what the sale price is. I can’t get to a 1/4 of the asking prices on First Dibs.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

1st Dibs is often very expensive. Not really for sale this one. I’m going to keep it

[@damianleah6744]

Fabulous

[@OriginalNethead]

Meow. Too bad no one can restore me too; I'm a bit of a rusty wreck and often call myself a cat in a girl-suit. Sounds like Rosie objects to you lavishing attention on a cat instead of on HER. Either that, or there's a malicious leaf out there somewhere.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

She’s an unashamedly jealous dog!

[@mikebell1889]

Big tub full of white vinigar soak for 2 weeks ,rust will brush off

[@SantaBarbaraBiking]

Nothing impresses Rosie much!

[@sjt609]

LoL, so true Adrian! She's just the sweetest wee pup ever, wouldn't you agree?

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

So right, she’s a tough audience!
