[@antonydennant3584]

Entirely agree with others - you've been much missed on here! Another fine video....... Have learned to french polish entirely through watching your earlier ones, so thank you!

[@theenglishpolisher]

So nice to see you Rob, the church door looks beautiful, love the way you retain the age, time and patience. You have a big heart and i am sure the church goers and vicar/warden appreciate it. Look forward to the next video. Thank you

[@theenglishpolisher]

Yes that's the story 🙏👍

[@michaelstrange9044]

Well done, Robbie. Great Job. I continue to be in your debt for showing me how to french polish through your videos. Latest project was a 17C carved oak chest which now looks amazing in my bedroom.

[@theenglishpolisher]

Fantastic to hear , all the very best 💫👋

[@briansteele5489]

Great to see old school treatment of a fine door. Lots of work, indeed, but a glorious result! Music top notch as well!...speaking as a singer and historic restoration contractor from Minnesota 😊.

What an amazing job that door looks so wonderful and well done protected. Thank you.

[@theenglishpolisher]

Much appreciated 👍

[@purpleom9649]

Really lovely job, anyone thinking of learning this craft either as a hobby or as a profession should do so, I couldn't think of anyone better than Rob to learn from. I can now buy a battered old gem that no one thinks is worth anything and transform it into a valuable and desirable piece in 2 days and I learnt how to do this by watching Rob's videos years ago, it would have been even better if I could have learnt from him in person. Again, thanks Rob, I owe you more than you know, you inspired me and now I have the courage to work on antiques worth £1000's. BTW I had a result the other day, I found a listing of 22 boxes of Nettlefolds brass screws from 1"/10 to 3/8ths/2 new old stock and most sizes in-between I was over the moon, I paid £70 the wife couldn't understand why I was so happy.

[@theenglishpolisher]

That's amazing to hear , I'm I'm laughing about the screes , brilliant work , it's always nice when you find a tonne of stuff at a good price , thanks again 🙏

[@ehm5389]

How beautiful - the kind offer, the door itself, the place and watching your work in progress. Just discovered your videos and enjoying them immensely, hope you keep making them. Thank you!

[@stevesheppard5616]

Always good to see you back, cheers me up no end :)..... You got a great finish to that door, looks stunning.

[@theenglishpolisher]

Thankyou and best to yourself also ,🙏

I'm a home improvement contractor who's been given a hundred year old, ornate, framed mirror with carved wood 9 feet high. You've given me inspiration to refurbish it.

Beautiful job….we met rob outside his shop in Grassington whilst on holiday…I had my photo taken with him an absolute gentleman and craftsman.

[@theenglishpolisher]

thanks and great to meet you too , thanks for the comment 💫💫

[@Sonomaniaque]

What a beautiful music you chose to accompany this restauration! A peaceful church in the north english countryside. It makes me think of some song lyrics : "one man came in the name of Love, one man come...and go...".No comment on the restauration, perfect as always, not too much, just whats needed to let the wood tell its story. Cheers from France ( and from an amateur french polisher)

[@theenglishpolisher]

Merci bien , and thanks for the great message 💫

[@TheFiown]

Near my old home here in France they just demolished an old church without retrieving the nave/alter or statues or doors, they just bulldozed it and sent it to landfill ! I think that they took some stained glass but that's it. They said it was too dangerous to retrieve anything, they didn't even try. Another one gone.

[@johnrhodes3350]

Oh that's sad. Thank you for telling us of another sad destruction and emphasising this problem

[@lethalleroy9209]

Thankyou Rob, it's great to see you once again at work using traditional methods in restoring what those craftsman spent many hours creating and oft enhancing their work while respecting what you are working on. Your skill Rob, is a credit to their workmanship indeed.

[@theenglishpolisher]

Thanks, you know the saying patience makes the polisher ,have a great week ✨

[@kmparadice6254]

Thought you were gone and then up pops a video. Mr. Polisher, your work on this door was stunning. Me thinking you would have to remove it from its hinges, but no! You English are a bright bunch! Clever working on the metal as well. When I saw the candle by the door, I thought, "Oh! He's stopped to pray!" Thought you might be drawing on a Higher Power for some polishing tips...and then I saw the beeswax comment...still and yet, you done good! Loved the ancient web decor on the hat. I hear it's a thing in France this year. Golly, gosh! If I were in the UK I'd sign up for your day class. Alas, the cost of flying over from the States - even to work with an artist such as yourself - would be prohibitive. Much admiration from the other side. (Not Adele. Just us Gringos.)

[@theenglishpolisher]

[@carolyncopeland2722]

Its nice to see another video Rob, you truly restore what you work on, not refinish like many others on here, who then go on to lose all the charm and character of the piece through over aggressive sanding and stripping. Like others you inspired me to try french polishing myself and I loved the results on my parents 1950's chairs.

[@theenglishpolisher]

I see I'm aging myself through these videos, perhaps I could do with a little beeswax , thanks for the message and great news on the chairs

Hi and thanks , if the wood has a good breeze ,as little as 4 hours , I waited over night as I oiled it at the end of the day

[@andrewofford1533]

Where I used to work, there were some very large Teak Doors, that would be Frenched Polished, a French Polisher was on the books. But when there were cut backs, they sacked him and took out the Doors, to be replaced with cheap painted things.... The criminal side of the work they did when replacing the Doors, was, they Burnt, yes Burnt the old Teak Doors.

[@johnrhodes3350]

Great job getting rid of that previous awful finish. I can't say in polite company what i would like to say or do to whoever put that hideous coating on a church door. The evocative countryside reminded me of when i walked the 'Pennine Way' we celebrated our Geography teacher, who had walked it eight times, and went on to do ir another once twice before his retirement. Thank you for choosing such beautiful music. I watched all of your earlier restoration vids as they came out. This is the second or third time of me seaching for your channel, you have been missed by many. Its safe to say, you have certainly made quite a lasting and rather unique impression on your subscribers. May i ask where your traditional Flat Caps are from. I understand if that is a little trade secret of your dress style.
