No music, no begging for subs, no over the top camera shots, just the sound of you and your work - you are one of my favorites LADB!

[@spiderprint]

And tasteful restorations true to the original.

[@YarnAce]

Amen to that same here.

You don't realize how awful people begging for subs is until you watch that one in one thousand that let's his talent do the talking.

who else binges these to relax during quarantine?

[@martinnovak4651]

Casey Ringer I agree found this a week ago just relaxing to watch. I have a wood shop in my garage and have restore a few things but this is just wonderful. Love the metal machinery work

[@susanpayne8908]

Yes, it calms me to watch you save these wonderful old tools. My grandfather was the town blacksmith.

[@justinwillismusic]

Helps with my anxiety. Love it. Awesome

[@barrydheil]

Still relatable with quarantine. My county is just about to go down into the step above lockdown, and honestly, we may be locked down again come April.

[@peebee143]

Thinking back in time, we used to see so many different kind of scales, barrows and other once common items. Nearly all gone now. It's good that there are people like you who are helping to preserve our history.

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

Awesome as always. Your restorations remind me of my Dad as he also worked in a calm and methodical way. I like your style, only replacing what is necessary. Nice to see Averil again, it’s been a while. Love to France 🇫🇷. Cheers Stuart, Australia 🇦🇺

Stuart G. Australia. Thank you 😊

[@29lookingood]

Thank you (& Avril) for making my day 💙. Calm, no music, no talking, just Good Quality, hard work and craftsmanship. Love how Avril is always there to check up on your work, although I think he might be a bit bias because he is easily bribed with treats😺😸😻. Love from the UK💙 *😂 Just checked out your home page and channel description is "Restoration videos made with Avril 🐱" 😂🤣

[@davidvincent2838]

I was just thinking I hadn't seen one of your resto's for a while, and here you are. Love ALL your stuff.

[@pebblesthecat3625]

I think Avril did a splendid job of supervising this restoration. She inspected the parts after sand blasting, checked everything was there and then gave the final ok on the finished refurbishment - and just at the cost of a few cheesy biscuits ! What a star. You did an ok job on the restoration as well, but the cat definitely stole the show.

[@res9695]

Every time you said you painted something black, the Rolling Stones song started playing in my head.

[@peggyt1243]

Young hands and mature hands and cute little kitty cat paws. All enjoyable to watch.

[@Double_Vision]

Of all the restoration channels, I really respect that you don't film the welding arc. It permanently destroys camera sensors so easily, and either cutting past it or filming the arc-light on the wall is perfectly fine. A wise choice all around!

[@matthewalexander6792]

Those are strong tradesman's hands!... Well done, always an awesome job.

[@jamesfield5346]

Thank you for what and how you restore things. I truly respect that you preserve the original wood during your restorations.

[@patjohnson3100]

Wonderful restoration! The fact that you reuse original parts and wood as much as possible is impressive. Thank you for saving this beautiful piece of history. Greetings from the USA

[@davids6533]

Totally agreed. Hello again from N.W. Georgia, U.S.A.

[@Acticis]

I really prefer LADB over other "restoration"channels, becouse you usually really try to preserve as much original as can. But in this video you just cooly changed big wooden parts, which could have been still saveable if really wanted. Best part of your videos is when you replace small damaged bits of wood, there were now none of that. After all, great video. And God thanks you didn't "repaired" (ruined) it with epoxy like some other chanels!

[@mred8002]

Acticis Agreed on epoxy repairs, although it does have its uses, these ancient pieces would be very anachronistic. I understand your concern about salvaging components, but here I entirely agree with his judgement to replace badly deteriorating parts, as the structure and function were badly compromised. Love his attention to original methods and practices.

[@rubenmontiel4030]

Averil is absolutely the coolest cat ever…!!!!!!

[@80HD8]

Looks like you have a garden. Looks like you'll have to start growing grain if you haven't already. I love Avril. Very cool cat. And seems to approve of everything you do.

[@opticschief]

Great job as always. No silly, overly loud music score, just great illustrations. Thanks !

[@amethystschy7364]

My grandfather owned and operated a scale repair shop when I was a child. He would have been so happy to see this beauty back in action. Bummed so much was rotted but great job!

[@TheCanary24]

The way how you do your job is amazing!

[@adampagano5361]

This felt like more of a remake than a restoration. I would have liked to have seen the wood painted something similar to its original color.

[@ROTRestoration]

Love the "scale" of the projects you take on. Must weigh hard on you!

[@neerdowells1]

Love to watch your restorations. It's great how you use as much of the original materials as possible! Give Avril some scratches from the USA!

Hands down, an absolute top shelf restoration channel. You are the man! Thanks for sharing this great work with us.

[@aceallenk]

Absolutely beautiful. It reminded me of the one we had on the farm as a young boy, except it had 2 steel wheels, maybe a tad larger, and it seems the balance beam was brass. But as usual this restoration was another completely enjoyable video with awesome results. You must have a beautiful museum of lovely restored artifacts cause I've sure enjoyed watching your many restorations.

[@georgebrown8312]

Wow, that is awesome the way you restored that grain scale. You had to replace the rotten wood parts with new wood but you managed to clean the wood you were able to use. It looks much better now and it works like a charm as well. Great work restoring a piece of history.

[@MegaJackd5]

Leaving it the basic bare wood (with mild stain) looks brilliant. Yet again another fantastic job. and another useful item

[@amandatallis9875]

I saw this kind of scale in 90's ; it was working well and I had fun getting on it :)

[@justusbar7597]

I really do enjoy watching your restorations, especially that you try to reuse as much of the old wooden parts as possible. Two things I'm thinking about: I might be nice to file down the cast markings and it might make sense to stabilize the old wooden parts with some polymer.

[@nhytg376tgyuu765gjmg]

Yep, and I miss the blue grease I got used to see in this channel.

[@thunderstruck1078]

Rural France. At least while there are still French people there. Their politicians are traitors. Here's a pretty accurate diagnosis: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKbCmX-jYriFh9k And here's Èric Zemmour's speech: www.bitchute.com/video/TNQjg1Rph4T0

[@demarsouthard3620]

@@thunderstruck1078 I walked through rural France a few years ago, from the border with Spain near Perpignan to Arles, Apt, Gap, Briançon, and crossing the Italian border at Montgenévre. The French people were wonderful and I loved the experience. It was truly one of the highlights of my life. Everyone I met was French, true French. In every small town I passed through I was teated as an honored guest and made to feel at home. I mourn the loss of France that is coming unless people such as Le Pen gain more control over government policy.

[@YamiKisara]

There are plenty of shops with stuff like that all over Europe. It pays to keep an eye on people cleaning out houses when their grandma or such passed away - some people aren't interested in keeping the old stuff. Another option is to be on good terms with the waste disposal people - they'll give you a call if something interesting is brought in.

[@LunaP1]

I’m super impressed you were able to save most of the wooden parts.

[@davids6533]

I love these videos! They are unique in that there's no music to suffer through and so many other things that make them almost like meditation. I just wish they lasted longer. The older man's hands remind me of my uncles so much, and that alone is a good thing to me. He was an awesome person and it's good to be reminded of him in this way. The videos are enjoyable and appreciated for their content and for what the represent to me, and others I'm sure. Oh, and I love where you get your cooling sand! I never knew France was so beautiful! The touristy part is all I've ever seen. : )
