I love this show. Not only the fact that these artist and craftsman can repair such things but also the reaction of the people getting their treasures back in working condition is heartwarming.
If u haven't seen it yet but there is 2 seasons of this on Netflix I just got done watching it
My Father is 90 and loves this show and has a smile on his face when he watches, i already have RUclips premium for myself but I'm going to upgrade to RUclips family so he can watch it without those dammed adverts spoiling his viewing.i also subscribed to this channel because I only have been able to catch snippets of this show so far.👍
just use a good quality ad blockers and done.
Man I just binge-watchd season 1 and 2 of this on Netflix and bin hooked glad I found it here new sub love what u guys do had me in tears a few times with peoples stuff that u guys fix
What the friggin frig of all friggary! Where's the ending?. To just cut it like that when you're expecting to see a satisfying conclusion is cruel, it's like blindfolding your dog then taking it off again at the vets.
just like movie trailers, just enough to get a person to buy a subscription to the BBC channel on iTunes.
It was so wrong to GLUE back the access panel behind the Monkeys head. now no one can get inside to do any similar repairs....
Great point, and what was that glue? Will the repair be reversible?
@@timadams3717 It looks like Gorilla glue! 🐵
Don’t worry. Only a highly skilled artisan would work on this. No one else should monkey around with it. I’ll show myself out
@@ffinybryn He should have used pearl glue which is reversable with steam..
@@moggiesmum4635 I think you need to check it out again. I see the young guy glue in the access panel
Wheres the bloody ending......
Why would you permanently glue the back panel back in? If anything breaks inside it again then it can't be repaired. Bad decision
It was glued in place originally. He pushed it out from inside, having gained access through the earhole
The glue on the back panel was a terrible mistake as the panel will never pop out if a repair is needed in the future. What he should have done is simply a very very thin layer of glue or wood putty on the panels edges was a terrible mistake as the panel will never pop out if a repair is needed in
so you have a degree in woodwork restoration and many years experience of similar repairs? The original was glued in as shown by the chamfered edge. To remove the panel you go in through the ear or the mouth and push it back out breaking the seal on the glue.
And the "polishing". What did that consist of ?
hopefully beeswax.
@@happygardener28 Just beeswax....................?! There`s just a little bit more to it than that. That would only be applied after the shellac is properly hardened, the very final stage of French polishing
@@timadams3717 maybe and maybe not, there are many little things a different restorer would have done differently during the repair. just as I would not have used a modern glue to close the back panel. They didn't mention much about the type of stain they used which was probably another modern product.
@@happygardener28 How can you French polish without employing shellac!? Shellac is in effect French polish
@@timadams3717 I didn't state that I would use a French polish on that item. I don't have the item in hand to determine what would be best. Did you handle the item?
I cringed when he used liquid glue to close up the back panel. I would have thought hide glue a better option incase the cane needs repair in the future.

But they`re not very good, wood filler on an antique !?
and how would you repair it? Maybe some wood dust mixed in with a little bit of resin?
@@raywellswork No , I would use beaumontage, to keep disruption to the original finish to a minimum
Seems like they are attempting to darken new wood without using earth pigments. No wonder the camera hardly stayed at all on the finished piece. Invisible repair? They didn`t let us see it for more than a nano second so I doubt it. The programme is a horrible BBC box ticking exercise
It's a workshop of nightmares in many ways but it keeps the uninformed masses happy..
@@michaelpalmer4013 and your qualifications for saying that?
@@raywellswork My qualification is 50 years experience in the repair of clocks, watches, small automata and small music boxes. I have designed and made automata, which includes making the wooden cabinets and making and restoring small music box cases. Despite what you and others say in the comments, the back cover of this stick should NEVER have had any type of glue applied. I am afraid that Will frequently does more harm than good and to be frank, he really hasn't a clue. If you still doubt what I say, have a look at my channel.
