[@annieshobbies]

Artists!

[@girlnorthof60]

I often wonder if people have items like this & think "I can't afford to repair this properly" and gift them to Michael & Maria or Drew knowing they can and will bring them back to life. It's what I'd do. 💞

[@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13]

Thats spooky AF and i wouldn't want that in my bedroom you wake up in the middle of the night and that thing going off..Nahhh

[@dougabbott8261]

amazing and creepy at the same time......

[@davidsnyder2000]

I’m in the wrong business…..the restoration experts command about £100 pounds an hour. That’s pretty good money👍🙂 Got to have a good mechanical engineering background to be able to fabricate these works of art.

[@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13]

Not really it's quite simple actually it's just cogs & plates..

[@thorvald1872]

🤭 "promo sm"

[@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13]

What's that mean???

[@A.R.C.77]

That's why none restores old 💩 lost money plus who's gonna want to buy it

[@digimalone]

120 hours? 10,000 pounds for restoration? BS!

[@TheDadFaxs]

If you do the math on it they said about 180 hours. That's 55 1/2 pounds per hour for the two of them. That's 27.75 a piece per hour. For skilled Craftsmen like they are that's cheap.
