The Conservator's Tool Kit - Objectivity 182

[@joelhaynie5056]

My favorite thing in this video is the control, intention, fluidity, and gentleness of Richard's movements. Even simply placing down a brush, looks like the Ballet! It wonderful to see an artisan who's is so dedicated to his craft that even when he doesn't need to use care he still does. Wonderful!

[@ZeedijkMike]

Beautiful said and so true.

[@Stadtpark90]

your comment actually made me watch the video a 2nd time

[@illustrativetexts]

exactly, i even wondered if some of the shots weren't an actual slow-mo :)

[@sebastianprzybya5966]

Conservators have to behave this way. If you're working with objects this fragile, the gentle movements have to be a second nature

[@LOUDcarBOMB]

1:45 If anyone is wanting to look for that specific letter opener made from ivorine, the one Richard uses is made by Kynoch (gun cartridge manufacturer) from the 1920s to 1930s from celluloid ivory.

[@Blopezphoto]

Does there exist a museum where artifacts used in museum conservation go? A museum museum?

[@jinkiesjess]

I work in a museum and sometimes we will find old things (like a chair, for example) and we'll have to try to figure out if it's a donation that was never accessioned or if it's just old museum property. lol

That was one of the most interesting videos yet. I'm always interested in learning about the tricks of the trade.

[@InterjectionVideos]

I love has makeshift all his tools are - it's wonderful!

[@Metalkatt]

My chest aches with the desire to apprentice to this guy.

[@loganisthemeng]

Brady you're an inspiration man, think of all the information and grand times I've gotten from your channels, I'm thankful for you man, you're a hero

[@lorddenti]

Guys, don't worry. Keith must be busy working on Bradys admission to the Royal Society! Amazing Video by the way! :)

[@SuperAWaC]

i wonder if brady could be made an honorary fellow

[@willrun4fun]

My favorite channel of Brady’s.

[@hesgrant]

This is fascinating stuff, would love to see even more!

[@MrMehawk]

I love the paper conservation episodes, keep them coming Brady!

[@BritishMovietone]

Fascinating! Just loved this! Jenny x

[@astalott6707]

I know this is a bit late to be commenting but a candle making pot might be a suitable replacement for that sauce pot ('Chandler and Me' is the brand I know of)

[@mattmers]

I do fossil prep and I think anyone in Conversation loves talking about tools. Simple items that are incredibly important to the job. I am currently researching adhesive and probably have spent 18+ hours on it. Researching what is available and what each adhesives properties are.

[@jaystevens137]

Good job guys, this one is fantastic and pretty thorough. I'd love to see more on his process, or an edited start to finish, so we could see the skills used throughout each step. Thanks for what you do! One of my most favorite channels.

[@Veptis]

We do bookbinding in school; we got some very specialized presses and tools there as well. The giant press your showed here, looks very similar to the one we have - but we use different modifiers to layer parts of books in between, sometimes it is even stone bricks.

[@Olect]

That press is stunning.

[@lzeph]

Let's just put a moratorium on the 'where's Keith' comments right now, eh? Brady does a great job no matter who's with him.

[@Ana_crusis]

good attempt but you know they won't stop...

[@Dankey_King]

So Brady, time for another channel? I suggest "Conservatorphile" where you just put videos of people restoring paintings and other artwork 😊

[@monsterzero5650]

I loved this video, would love to learn more about this

[@miekekuppen9275]

Fascinating!

[@leplum2001]

Indeed very interesting that was.

[@jeremyahagan]

Watch Richard move. Every motion is slow and deliberate. I think he must be the most patient man in the world.

[@RollaArtis]

For cleaning paper I use bread (plain not wholemeal)

[@CybranM]

Really interesting video and a well spoken guest :D

[@edgeeffect]

That ivorine delaminator reminds me of Big Clive's infamous "spudger"

[@kylejohnson3233]

Next time you’re in Berkeley make a detour and come to the UC Davis Herbarium! Plant preservation is super interesting

[@chuckvanderbildt]

For anyone interested in the glass spray bottle, they can be had on ebay for less than twenty dollars shipped from china. Just search for 'lab glass spray bottle'.

[@johnchancey3941]

I love listening to this guy and hearing about his work. Maybe you could make a separate channel just for him and his conservation work :-)

[@bunsenburner2693]

I second this. Richard and his work is fascinating!

[@PinkChucky15]

Wow, I love this.

[@Defeshh]

this is awesome

[@MacoveiVlad]

Doesn't the plastic brush have a metal wire to hold the bristles like all toothbrushes? Anyway, it would be interesting to see how ultrasonic humidification works.

[@UBERbuck]

Smart looking watch you've got there Brady. That a Rolex Explorer?

[@brocktechnology]

Le Saucier doesn't seem to possess any significant features that aren't shared by the currently popular actifry.

[@HebaruSan]

If he retires, does the special letter opener go with him or stay at the museum?

[@thenextstepp]

HebaruSan I'm guessing it belongs to him but he would probably offer it up for the next in line and whoever would be following in his footsteps would probably never use it again placing too much value on it. I've had retiring architects pass on their tools to me and I find myself adding them to my display rather than putting them into the everyday use bin. Even simple items such as these can hold immense value when passed along. For example, I still have the first architectural drawing I ever created that was given to me by my drafting teacher when I graduated. At the time drafting was just a really cool class that gave me a break from things like history and English but ultimately ended up being my career.

[@4Gehe2]

You know stirring sauce pan... If you really desperately need one. It wouldn't be a big thing for a good fabricator to make one from stainless steel. Then installing a heater and a motor in to it wouldn't really be a big thing.

[@raykent3211]

Yeah it seems like a fuss about nothing. I'd use an ordinary Pyrex (glass) cook dish and if we're seriously worried about contamination, ask a glass blower to make a stirrer (just two pieces of flat glass joined at an angle onto a vertical glass rod). Add a geared down motor and put it on a hotplate. I wonder how much these are selling for?

[@PablinskyCorporation]

6:10 The paper will be quite...?

[@gavinwild2647]

cockled ;)

[@dansv1]

Pablo cock·le2 ˈkäk(ə)l/Submit verb past tense: cockled; past participle: cockled (of paper) bulge out in certain places so as to present a wrinkled or creased surface; pucker.

[@JimFortune]

and muscled, alive aliveo!

[@chillsahoy2640]

In the modern world, where everything is made-for-purpose, it's delightfully odd seeing someone who needs to take tools meant for some other use, and repurpose them because the field is so niche, that no major manufacturer would ever mass-produce these instruments. Being clever and having imagination really does pay off!

[@KaberEsplin1]

Who is James Hennessy?

[@Macieks300]

almost like being a surgeon

[@Palifiox]

Time to go to Birmingham. The Lunar Society deserves some recognition.

[@Ana_crusis]

I'm glad you've given up recommending the very dodgy genetic testing people...

[@Ana_crusis]

...and you sound like someone who doesn't have enough information

[@Markle2k]

And you sound like someone who thinks innuendo is evidence

[@Ana_crusis]

you sound like a moron, who doesn't know the meaning of the word 'innuendo'

[@jamesjross]

excellent episode. I bet watching him work would be like some ASMR soothing thing.

[@Ana_crusis]

I don't suffer from ASMR

[@dogerriders868]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@1224chrisng]

I reckon the Brushes would be fantastic for brushing those Ear-Shaped Mics and the Letter Opener must be lovely for Soap Carvings; but the Dental Tools seems excessive. KZbin Recommend: Dental Roleplay Me: NOPEĘËĒĖÈÉÊeęëēėèéê

[@nab-rk4ob]

Fascinating!
