Thank you for making these videos. You are the only one on RUclips who does this at your level of expertise.
You are welcome.
I think you have the patience of a saint!
I second that. Thanks for videos.
This is awesome work . I didn’t even know it could be done!
Thanks!
These long format videos are fascinating. Omitting the music was a very good idea, it greatly helps concentration.
How much do you consult with the client as the work proceeds? Do you talk to them about what you've found and adjust their expectations regarding the appearance of the repair? Do you like to talk to them as much as possible or as little as possible? Do you ever show them the work in progress?
I consult with the clients through emails and/or phone before the project begins. I consult with them if/when I find new problems as the repair progresses: how it will affect the repair going forward and end result. I don't usually show them how the project is going as I repair. Most of them don't care for progress reports. On any given day I'm working on 10-15 project, so progress reports would slow things down to a crawl if I did them. If somebody calls and wants a photo of the current state of repair I will send it.
@@marsgitar Thanks. That sounds very sensible and professional. It's also clear from the testimonials on your website that your clients are very happy not just with your work but the way you work. All power to you.
Thanks for sharing Martin very nice job as always
Just discovered your site yesterday and have delighted in losing 2 days obsessively watching ALL your videos! Thank you for your very thoughtful and helpful teaching. I was wondering if you might tell me where you found your tiny palette knife you use to fill in with Milliput. After hours of searching (including your suggestion of Micro Mark) I finally purchased a mini palette knife for sugar craft, but the tip is not as fine as yours. I have 2 questions concerning several Lladró pieces I'm restoring. (Love that you were able to inherit the Lladró replacement pieces!) How would you go about moulding an entire lady's arm that is missing? Several small fingers in another piece are also missing. I saw your restoration of Romeo's missing scabbard tip, but these delicate hands and fingers are too small to be drilled in any way. Would just moulding them from Milliput be appropriate? Thank you again for your amazing work and generous contribution!
I made the palette knife myself.
To make a missing arm, I would put a steel armature into the stump and sculpt an arm around that: very difficult. For fingers I would use the A+B putty. It's harder than Milliput. Also very difficult to do. Good luck to you!
Nice job! :)
Delighted to see a recent addition. Generous as ever. Fascinating how you actually carve the pattern back on. Meticulous work, fascinating to watch. I haven’t managed to watch all your tutorials yet (but I will), so I’ll probably find you have already addressed this point. Here goes anyway, what do you do when you have a break that goes straight through a makers mark on the base of the piece?
It depends on the piece. If it is important/rare or otherwise worthy of it, I will leave the damage (if the mark is still visible) to show that it is the original mark (unless the owner wants it repainted). Otherwise I treat it as part of the repair, and repaint it.
@@marsgitar That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for taking the time to reply so promptly.
I have not watch all videos yet. I want to know what materials you use for repair and what where to purchase them. Thank you
