      @@readmycomment3157 No it isn't. Men like to look at attractive women and vice versa, it's healthy and it's totally normal. It's you who is "creepy" for trying to police normal human behaviour. See a doctor.

    Love what Drew said, we all ready have these lovely objects, lets re-use them and not make more. What a restorer, glad she took the risk.

    I agree with what he said right in the end. Such a huge amount of difference it would make in the world if everyone of us re used just a few things

    Sometimes I question the quality of the repairs versus the restorees questioning prior repairs

  • @timhazeltine3256
    @timhazeltine3256 8 месяцев назад

    Yes, Ruth knew best for the frame because Drew's choice for the cartouche was twee and underscaled for the frame's dimensions and style.

  • @rickpalmer3340
    @rickpalmer3340 2 года назад +1

    Excellent video Ruth, a true professional. Many thanks!
    I have a mirror, not quite as intricate as the one you are working on, I would like to have a go at repairing. Please can you tell me if I would be able to purchase the moulds for a cartouche and other ornaments, please?

    • @readmycomment3157
      @readmycomment3157 2 года назад +1

      You make the molds using silicon from the other moldings on the frame

    Oh Ruth, I wish you could restore my mirror. It’s not a horrible condition but I’m in the USA and it was Patton London, England by my late husband and it does need to be restored but perfectly is there anyway I can get a hold of you?

  • @mattneillninasmom
    @mattneillninasmom Год назад

    Domestic workers who clean house in L.A. get $25 hr. If Ruth gets $30 hr. then her hours worked would get her $3540. Somehow, I doubt her museum quality restoration earns that much...the end product sale price would be too much for Drew to see the profit he wants and needs.

  • @laurasmith8595
    @laurasmith8595 11 месяцев назад

    What is the name of Ruth’s company?

  • @miragenikita6329
    @miragenikita6329 3 месяца назад

    if you say £60/h which is not much its already £7080 for the work alone. Gold and other materials will add another £1000 I guess... so Drew has to ask for £10000 at least.

  • @readmycomment3157
    @readmycomment3157 2 года назад +1

    At £30 per hour thats £3540 alone, plus materials which must have been hundreds or thousands more. Definitely not an economically viable restoration

  • @cameronwallis7024
    @cameronwallis7024 3 года назад +1

    Why make a fuss about the cartouche? Just send some pictures through to Drew and confirm the design via smartphone or even email!

    It took 118 hours to do. What did she charge for that work?

    • @bobstirling6885
      @bobstirling6885 2 года назад +1

      If it was any less than £3000 she was under-selling herself.

  • @georgevaughan1287

    Drew is probably losing money on many of the big restoration jobs like this. Maybe he thinks it’s worth it. Perhaps the bottom line is boosted by the television receipts

  • @mm9773
    @mm9773 3 года назад

    118 hours plus material, that makes this mirror… well, unsaleable.

    • @bobstirling6885
      @bobstirling6885 2 года назад +1

      Yes, minimum £3000 for her time alone.

  • @samamber9370
