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.

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!
@mred80024 жыл бұрын
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.

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!
