If Josh lined up pint bottles on that wooden ledge, you could call it a Mickey Mantle.

[@mackeymintle66]

What? Did someone call me?

[@billfreeman5914]

Dad Joke!😂😂 And the young’ uns say “who’s that?”

I was just about to say the same thing!

[@wuznotbornyesterda]

I can't believe how much you love moving stuff so much! I hate changing everything up! You need a bigger store! I couldn't believe you bought that one because it seemed tiny to begin with and you've had it squeezed up all the more with your great finds. Every time a person visits your store they can find something new just because they can't find everything in one trip!

[@lisagrafton2529]

I was watching a KZbin video on reselling antiques, and the couple got an old big safe and took it to their shop and their daughter and son were playing, and the 6-year old girl got locked inside!!! They called the fire department, etc. Not sure how, but they got it opened and she was scared but ok! Probably traumatized for life!!

[@inabates8919]

Just a thought Alex have you/ do you constantly Update your insurance!?

[@ustinman8446]

suggestion: all your artwork should be on the cafe walls!

[@Snarkapotamus]

That's exactly what I was thinking...he could name it the art & music cafe or something similar.

love the story of comedian george miller introducing seal& crofts as "arts &crafts! he was fired,but he got a good joke out of it!

What a dream workshop Josh has! Drooooool!!

It doesn't matter if you know the official name, if you can do wood work like that you are a woodworker hun. 😁

The spoon tree was fantastic, would love to have something like that.

[@eileencarroll6418]

Funny how SOME ART makes EVERYTHING look like art. I am particularly impressed by the tape rolls display. Comics wall is outstanding. And the stories are priceless. WELL DONE JOSH.

[@lorikendrick5076]

I loved the tape roll display.

[@chandracarol232]

I agree

You should call the music room the 'Rac Room' (get it - rec room?) in honor of Madam Rac's little listening area in her house.

[@susanmercurio1060]

I was walking down the sidewalk after a big snowstorm in St Paul MN and there was a red-shouldered hawk feather sitting gently right on top of the fresh snow. I believe that they are supposed to be a gift from heaven. Any raptor feather.

[@seaneendelong8065]

Yes. And Raven feathers are to alert you to dangers or of allies.

[@ElsaInCa]

What does it mean when you find a big turkey feather? 😀

[@level-uplearning5095]

In the USA only Native Americans can have eagle feathers and a few other things...other people here would get hefty fines if found with eagle feathers.

[@diannebernau3293]

That’s a lot of work, Alex. You must be beat!! Congratulations to you and Josh. The shop looks great. Love the music room and the new shelving looks like it has always been there.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear D. B. 👍👌👏 Very well said, Ma'am. Exactly my thoughts too. I even wanted to comment similar but fortunately you already did the writing work. ;-) Best regards, luck and health.

put 2 dogs in your shop, I say 2 so they will not be lonely. no one will mess with your shop then!!!!!!

[@paulapiechnik3909]

If there is one thing I have learned from watching you.....you WILL get it done! You certainly have a strong mind!

[@marlenekutcher938]

It may be cheaper to use metal framing in the new build than wood. Ontario is having a shortage of most building supplies down to nuts and bolts. Crazy times..

[@stewartbrennand4987]

As a Niagara resident I can only agree with your observations. Its $$$$ that defines he town and, a thought the mandate of the Niagara Parks is supposed to be otherwise, they, too, are all about the money.

[@teresaarmstrong4099]

I am so impressed with Stephen! He is not your typical teenager. You told him what was needed and didn't have to stand over him to get it done. Buy him a car! Lol! You may rarely see him again! Lol! HE IS GROWING UP MOM AND DAD! He is maturing nicely too!

[@SallyWooten]

oh i see the bug collection I wanted right there on the wall

[@NinfaCarpentergeorgia198]

I believe your customers would understand if your store wasn’t as organized as usual for a day or two!!! I know I would be understanding.... especially if you posted a pardon our mess sign! Do other viewers agree?

[@ktkt9982]

Absolutely

[@saltandpepper986]

Absolutely agree and in some ways expect this at any such store whose inventory is consistently in flux.

[@jlynt680]

I love the tree with spoons. Great job!

[@sashagoodall]

Josh is so talented. Canadians are truly wholesome, honest, good people. Great tour.

[@ohPokey]

Josh is such a great artist.

[@marciajohnson6767]

Totally awesome place!! Enjoying this one a lot!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@janelord3061]

Josh says, "I'm not a woodworker." He is too modest With his skills, he's a woodworker (and a whole lot of other wonderful things) and, overall, a very gifted and talented young man. The shop is looking great. I'd love to get up there someday.

[@nancymontgomery8897]

Alex is a dynamo. The hardest working man in retail. The godfather of antiques and curiosities. The James Brown of Canada.: "Good gawd y'all!" Of course I'm being silly, but you never fail to amaze me with your vision, savvy and drive. It's all coming together so nicely. Well done Alex.

[@karenmilligan5597]

Lol, good analogy Nancy, but isn't Alex the Johnny Cash of Canada?

[@helenbailey8419]

Well said Nancy.

[@ShipCreek]

Alex's energy blows me away.

[@FigaroHey]

I hesitate to use the phrase 'man crush,' but it's obvious that Alexander really loves and admires Josh...

[@Iflie]

I think Josh inspires that in a lot of people and they really love giving him stuff and helping him out. I remember he was on a trip and painting on the sidewalk and this guy came over and he could have gotten a job right then for some artwork.

[@Cate7451]

Iflie , yes Alex met Josh years ago broken down on the side of the road I think. Josh is always handy for doing things to help out Alex when he's having a bit of an adventure. Which is often. They are both pretty friendly.

[@Iflie]

@@Cate7451 Yeah Josh always describes Alex as the nicest guy. How Josh and Alex met is something Josh often makes up stories about for fun but I think it was just at the store haha. Like Josh's age he likes to keep it a mystery.

[@annj3811]

Alex made up that story because Josh is always making up stories. They met when Josh visited his old store which is currently being rented out.

[@Cate7451]

Iflie jokes on me then.

[@happinin07]

Wow. That is a great makers space. Josh is blessed to have this kind of space to work.

Great bonsai tree. Nice work Josh!

Josh's work shop is a dream😍

[@LazyDIY-THRIFT]

So organized! Wow! ❤️❤️❤️

[@HemlockDreams]

You had mentioned stagnant inventory, in an earlier video and your need to fluff and buff the shop. In several local antique shops it's not just reorganizing a space, but what my antiquing friend calls "optimistic pricing." A dealer who had raised their prices on inventory that hadn't sold in years told me, "I would rather make a bigger profit on something than turn inventory at a lower profit." That seems counterintuitive on inventory that had been in the space for over three years. Especially when people are not investing in antiques.

[@stefanfrankel8157]

I don't "invest" in antiques. I just buy what I like to have around and display.

[@Cate7451]

If you are in business you need to get turns.

[@terryprideaux]

I agree with you concerning the Niagara Falls area.

[@BanDanaGramma]

My sister was excited to go there but came home disappointed as well, a cheap gaudy tourist trap, which just happens to have some beautiful falls nearby.

[@bunnymomma12]

Same here. Except the one on the NY side is way worse. I live in NY and it’s definitely not the Niagara Falls that my family went to yearly as it used to be. So sad. It’s gotten so bad that it’s actually pretty dangerous outside of the falls area.

[@JohnSmith-gn3jk]

Funny, I have family in Niagara Falls, US side. I think our side is perfect as a natural park ,just beautiful. But your side I think is an eye sore. However all my family from there and their friends hate our side and love yours.

[@juliegraham8133]

My cousin Liz worked as a croupier at the Niagara Falls casino until her death a few years ago. She had similar heart problems to those experienced by Prince Phillip at the moment. Sadly it was too late for a 2nd stent, she was too ill.😥

The Canadian Pacific locomotive certainly got to the World's Fair on its own wheels. Because it pulled the Royal train, the King allowed the CP to name that type the Royal Hudson. (A Hudson is a 4-6-4 type steam locomotive.) They were built in 1937 and stayed in service until 1960. Four have been preserved.
