In a slight departure, rather than fixing something, today I'll actually get to create something; a Dutch style Ripple frame. And while I'll be making this frame I'll no doubt make a few mistakes along the way.

I like how, every now and then, we get Julian building something, like the hot table, the glue table(?) etc. He makes it look so easy
I believe you refer to The Clampinator
An audience of stans to rival K-pop stans who will pick apart the work of a conservator or restorer with a fine toothed comb.
@raineschinkel2286 yes I couldn't remember the name at all lol
Experience, experience, experience
Editing helps. Take CEE Australia, for instance. Watch the video, then watch the outtakes.
as a framer I was super happy to see this! The final result looks perfect with the newly restored portrait.
Great to hear from an expert
Thank you. It’s very far from great but both the client and I were satisfied.
@@BaumgartnerRestoration You want the art to be center stage anyway, so as long as the frame is complimentary, it's doing its job.
Yeah I thought it was pretty good for a non framer. I wouldn't have built it that way but I was trained 30 yrs ago and still framing.
@@ThinWhiteAxethat’s not incorrect! I always say that like a tie to a great suit, or jewelry to a dress, a frame can elevate or distract.
Julian, taking risks, leaving your comfort zone, developing new paths, setting new goals. It keeps us alive. Congratulations on the new frame - the first of many!
If you aren’t moving forward, you’re going backward!!
Julian is a true Renaissance man! The only thing stopping him from learning something new is not having enough hours in the day
But with Square space…
What a great project for a documentary film. People don't go to art galleries to look at the frames surrounding the art, but they would certainly look at a frame that was poorly made or a mismatch with the art. The work of the framer is an important compliment to the work of the artist. Well done, Julian!
I still regret not buying a book about frames from a museum shop in Florence 😢
I was skeptical about that large heavy frame with that little painting, but when he showed the two together at the end, it just worked. The single line of gilding just pops beautifully, and makes the two match up like they'd always been together. No, the frame is not perfect: I can see the uneven joints, the sloppy sanding, and a few other minor imperfections, but it works. It gives the feeling of a old, tired frame that still hangs proud. Nice work, Julian.
Yup- handmade work should *look* handmade. That's why I don't fuss too much about imperfections in the items I make (that, and the fact that no one but me will notice them).
I'm a framer and I'm so happy I can finally relate 😂
As a Dutch..loving the beautiful black frames from old paintings in the Netherlands..you have done a spectacular job !!..😃I love it !..and a beautiful restauration too,…👍🏻
Beautiful job Julian, a point to share from my 40+ years as a cabinetmaker, you need to seal the back side too, that coat of shellac would be fine, but the raw wood on the back will absorb ambient humidity at a different rate than the sealed front and cause the wood to expand and contract and ultimately crack the layers of finish on the front, especially at the miters, the frame is gorgeous!
Julian adding something new to his toolbelt? YES PLEASE
I love that restoration of art is not just confined to the “ art itself “ the canvas , the frame … the drying methods and spitting tacks !!! Love it
As a child I wondered why pictures in galleries looked like they had several frames on them … I seee know it’s more like a layered/step like structure
I've been taking a break from watching RUclips, but Baumgartner Restoration is the only channel I'll look up to watch!
Oh wow, maybe have soneone show you how to search videos that actually interest you
🤗
This man will spend uncountable days slowly scraping glue from the back of a canvas, but can't stand sanding. Incredible. ❤
We all have our break g points 🤪
That was so enjoyable to watch. No need to criticise yourself too much - the final frame looked superb.
Im sure it was to beat the internet warriors to the punch, lol..
because there are always 100's of internet "experts" in the comment section that would have likely said the same things he did in the video... just cruelly... so if he says it... it gives them nothing to say... nowhere to go... nothing to talk about...
I love this channel! I've been enthralled with these restoration videos every since I stumbled across this channel. Whenever I'm watching one of these videos and my Mum sees its Baumgartner, she'll stay and watch with me :)
I’m not an artsy person and I can barely put together a puzzle, but watching Julian learning something completely out of His “Comfort Zone” is just amazing! He is not afraid to try something new and different. He even shows us His mistakes and how He fixed them. He is truly a Renaissance Man. It just captivates me. Every time I see a new video that says Baumgartner, I stop whatever I’m watching or if I’m on a phone call I download it and watch it later. His Channel just fascinates me as I’m sure it does others. Thank You Julian for making Your videos so captivating. ❤
As a woodworker I send you a song from "Elton John - I'm Still SANDING!"
As someone who helped build a wooden boat (tho small), you have my whole respect!
Good one!
woah. it's so cool what a frame can do to the painting. with old frame your eye does not focus on the painting, but with new THE PAINTING is the focus of attention ♥
the amateur woodworker in my heart is singing with joy. this is absolutely beautiful work- honestly "perfect" might be pretty, but "someone challenging themselves with a new medium and doing their best with it" is always so much more engaging.
Never let perfect be the enemy of good.
@@BaumgartnerRestoration too true, too true!
When Julian said that he “cheated “ and bought premade moulding, I thought “it’s not cheating, it’s being efficient!”
Amazing job, Julian!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
The true definition of perfectionism: the ability to persevere through every mistake, however small, and put it right; that is Julian Baumgartner.
It's not the mistakes we make in life that matter. What matters is how we recover from those mistakes. Well done.
Five thousand views in less than an hour.
It's a bit beyond words- Our affection for this person, and his skills...
Impressive, right?! Despite that beard, he’s a true professional worthy of much more attention than he currently receives!!!!
The frame adds to the painting. Feels like it’s saying “look at this painting” Beautiful work❤❤
The thin line of gilding on the new frame draws my eye to the subject. Perfect!
The completion of a handsome restoration ...how proud you must be! Your frame complements the painting like they started out together. One would never guess at their separate beginnings and subsequent pairing.
Awesome work, Julian!
Julian, your frame is exquisite! It truly complements the painting! I am Dutch and have seen many “Golden Age” paintings, portraits in Amsterdam, Haarlem, The Hague, Delft, TEFAF etc. I also know how difficult to find, and extremely expensive period frames are. Masterful! What you consider mistakes are the hallmarks of excellent craftsmanship and make the frame unique. Congratulations!
How fun to not only get new experiences with each different project, but also to have the opportunity to learn a completely new skill!
This is why I love artisans and being a maker.
Isaac Stern remarked in an interview that one learns to play the violin well by first playing the violin badly. EVERY new attempt is like that. Bravo, Julian, for trying something new, and bravo squared for sharing it.
As a violinist, I love this quote!
This Dutchie is proud to see such a master piece made in the modern days and you made it look like it came from the old days. You could just hang it here in Amsterdam at the Rijksmuseum and nobody would know from which time it came. Absolutely stunning, Julian! I hope one day you will be coming to visit and do an pisode on the Dutch paintings and museums
You may consider adding a jointer and planer to your repertoire of tools to ensure your stock is milled flat and square. When you were first laying out the wood, you could tell there was some cupping and bowing, and probably a little twisting that would hinder your quest for joints that line up deliciously. Looks great in the end though!
On the list of things I don’t need but also need.
Wow! That's such a huge difference in the way the painting looks inside the new frame!
That black coat looks gorgeous and I wasn't expecting that. And I'm happy to see that painting framed so nicely. Your artistic choices here were perfect to my eye and tastes. Very nicely done Julian
Personally I really like the frame along with the restored painting. Of course it matters not what we think, but what the customer thinks, hopefully they are pleased with both the painting and the frame, well done Julian. As an aside, I have made frames and display boxes from wood and glass or polycarbonate. My daytime job was as an engineering manager making high precision gears, often with tolerances of 0.0003" (0,0076mm). My hobby was woodworking and it is very hard not to apply tight tolerances when working with wood. Thankfully I saw the folly of my ways and adopted a much less critical tolerance working with wood, which also made me enjoy my hobby. Good post, thank you 👍
You just keep getting more accomplished at your craft.
You might not be a master framer Julian but in my eyes you did pretty darn good on that one.
It's the ruff guy! This frame is PERFECT for him. Great job, Julian!
lovely to see the humility of being such a skilled professional and still showing the process of learning something new. it turned out incredible.
Thank you so much for making this video! My father and I are learning how to make frames for my paintings and it helps me understand how I can improve them :)
Glad to see you here, Nobody! Your playlists are my favorite on RUclips. They all feel very unique and special, like I couldn't find the same vibe anywhere else. It doesn't surprise me at all that you watch Julian's channel too!
This new and beautiful frame is just what the painting needed to be highlighted! The previous one was too distracting
Wonderful work, Julien! This is Kevin Deal from San Diego. I visited your shop last November! I always enjoy following your videos!
perhaps the making proccess of the frame may 'not' seem perfectly done but absolutely perfect for the purpose 😍😍😍 they go so well so perfectly together! as usual, Julian, well done! 👍👍👍
don't think what you call mistakes are actual mistakes. everything is just right. you are too humble! 😄
When ever I paint yachts with complex water/waves and I feel impatient, I go to your videos to humble myself down! Keep making these videos good sir!
How can those bits of wood become a frame? With skill and care, of course! I thought this video was so absorbing, all the steps - two forward and one back - and then the finished effect with the painting. Wow! Thank you, Julian.
I love it! Im Dutch and this painting really spoke to me earlier already, i was really excited to see it in your frame. They fit really well together!
You keep pointing out and highlighting all your mistakes, but I think it's much more interesting how you show what you *learn* from them. You thought the cuts would be even. They weren't. You learned that you needed to do it in smaller sections. You should have sanded more. You didn't. You learned that you would need to sand more to create a more even finish. It's nice to see how you learn from what happens, and think about how you can apply it to other areas. Shows how everyone, even trained professionals, can still grow their skills and find new perspectives.
Good job on that. As an artist myself I tried to make frames some times, but mine were never so sophisticated as yours. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
You are a master, Julian. I am Dutch and we have such a paintings and frames here. Beautiful done!
You as an Artist see all the flaws, as the beholder we all see the absolute mastery of your Art. The Frame you created? Is a Masterpiece worthy of the painting and does show period correctness and appropriate aging for the painting.
Countless hours of scraping paintings have prepared you well for being a woodworker, AKA a professional sander. Watching your video, I learned at least two things I have not seen on woodwork channels. The use of the toothbrush to wet the glue squeezeout and the pants lint painter's tape-that's genius.
the restoration therapy session I needed today. May I say that Monday really is the perfect day for this.
You’ve done that little portrait justice. Nice!❤
You are a one of a kind to me and giving me a peace of mind only listening to your voice. Thank you 🖼️.
You are by far too hard on yourself. This a majestic piece of work. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I love making frames (hobby level) so I especially loved seeing how Julien would go about making one. Thank you for trying it out - successfully!
Fascinating as always. And hearing the phrase " Dutch-Style Ripple Frame" is a delightful plus.
Dear Mr. Baumgartner.
Despite the mistakes you mentioned: 👍👌👏 Extremely well done again and as always (video and work).
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health in particular.
Adam Savage has an old TED talk where he talked about making a replica of The Maltese Falcon. In order to get the shiny surface he wanted, he said he used, “About 70 coats of this, matte black auto primer, polished up with some triple zero steel wool.” Nice to know that such techniques transcend their medium and can work even on a fine art frame.
I agree - Julian’s frame makes that painting even more interesting. Bravo!
I know this video isn't getting amazing views, but this was a great one to watch. Always fun to watch you do something different Julian, and I hope we see more like this.
I love the new frame it’s the perfect choice for it, but most of all I love the worn look that you achieved on the frame, it looks as if it’s almost as old as the painting itself.
The best part of building wooden projects is the sanding, my Dad bought me a heap of sanding tools, but I love sanding so much I have always done it by hand. I built my own sanding station when I started to built my cabinets because I knew there was going to be a heap of sanding😹😹
The frame is exquisite! Wonderful job! Thank you for sharing your frame project. Oh and the painting looks good too ha, ha!
Beautiful frame, well done!
Having done a bit of working with wood, I’d like to mention a couple things that might help the longevity of a piece. The miter joints would benefit from butterfly plates (or some kind of overlapping joints done during construction). Wood glue works very well when applied to long-grain surfaces, but rather poorly on end-grain.
The other thing is that, because there is a relatively large amount of unfinished surface on the back, it may absorb a lot of moisture as humidity changes over the years. This could cause the boards to cup towards the front, and then flatten as humidity drops. This would not be good for the joints, but would definitely contribute to the aged appearance! I’d suggest sealing the back with something to prevent this moisture absorption.
Having said all this, I’m by no means a professional, so anyone who knows better, please jump in!
That series where Julian went to new places to look at how things are made was just a set up for this. Great job.
The frame looks fantastic especially when the painting is in place. God bless
As a model and miniature painter i can relate to the finishing and distressing and making it look worn part of this video. It is always my most loved part. It tells a story, shows that it had a life although it really didnt. A wonderful Illusion.
The frame and painting look so good together, Perfect choice!
I can't express how much I enjoy your approach to learning process! You are kind, wise man, Julian. And watching your channel gives me a lot of joy. :)
Really cool to see this aspect of conservation. Like that you got to express your artistic idea!! Looks great!!!! And very professional!!!❤❤
New skill unlocked!!! Go Julien!!!
Good heavens, that frame is gorgeous! It's amazing how much that painting stands out in it, too.
as someone who does model kits, i find this really interesting because the act of adding imperfections to age them on purpose is a huge part of it. it makes the works just a bit more human!
It's a good day when there's a new video from BR...its a great day whe Julian gets to break out and use his other tools! 😊
Very nice. The frame looks good but more importantly: It looks honest.
Yes, the frame does compliment the painting. I believe the gentleman sitter from the last video - would approve of his surroundings 😊
Great work!... I agree, the frame is part of the paint, it must to enhance the final view!
Caveat of "not a framer" here, but after spending so much time guilding and creating the frame I do wish it had a few bowtie or L bracket connectors on the back. The wood will expand/contract and without any tie to hold those pieces together it's going to have very noticeable separation. But boy did that frame turn out beautifully for that painting! Well chosen aesthetically!
That frame looks perfect with the painting. You did a wonderful job, and I'm so glad you showed your mistakes and how you dealt with them.
Julian fumbles his way through making a frame and still makes something none of us could even get half right now matter how much we tried. Genius
When I route a straight piece on the router table, I use a straightedge on the bearing to align the 2 fences flush. The work gets more support than free handing. This lessons tear out and divots in soft wood. Regardless--nice work!
The frame is great with that painting. Love your videos. I have gone back and watch all of your videos multiple times. Your voice is so soothing. Wish you had more. Thanks for teaching an old woman about art conservation from your point of view.
What an amazing Painting. The frame did it justice. The restoration was incredible. Thank you for sharing your talents with us😊.
The frame turned out sharp! Looks good with the painting!
A little taste of what an antique restorer has to deal with and finishing. The ending is a sense of pride of 'well done'. Well done, Julian!
Thank you for sharing your learning journey, and as always, you find that unique balance between your mastery, mentorship, and client needs.
Man! I wish this had been a collab with Stumpy Nubs - @StumpyNubs 😄
Beautifully done Julian! Congratulations.
The final after image with the restored painting in the new frame is incredible! It looks so amazing!
Other than Julian, my favorite RUclips channels are the woodworking ones like blacktail studio or foureye furniture. Seeing router tables and other woodworking stuff made me question whether I clicked the right video, not my typical woodworking content. Thank you Julian for surprising me one more time!
That frame complements the painting beautifully. An all-round success.
Julian, thank you for this series where you have included so many adjacent artisans and skills. This approach has enriched the resoration experience for me. Thank you again.😊
I appreciate you highlighting the mistakes you made along the way with this. I think it's really important for all creative types to realize that the creative process isn't doing the thing perfectly the entire way until it comes out perfect - it's doing the thing, messing up, going back and trying something else, messing up again, and just repeating those steps over and over until you come out of the other side with the thing you wanted to make in the first place. It's messy and chaotic, and never goes the way you think it will, but the end result is always worth the headaches
This was a real treat - thanks Julian!
I think he has done even more than they did in the Golden Age. Phenomenal
this is superb!! i can imagine your client dancing on the ceiling. or observing the paint for hours and forgetting to eat or go to the bathroom. really beautiful
Absolutely stunning work. It looks fabulous. Congratulations on a job extra well done.
I find it intriguing how Americans and Canadians have change words (and speeling actually) in order to make it easier to say them. Rabbit instead of rebate, Sodder instead of solder, hood instead of bonnet and the like. Even though I know what is being explained, these words catch me for the first few times, even though I know they are coming. My dad would have loved to watch this as he was a brilliant cabinet maker, carpenter and joiner, (who only used hand tools - lol) who also taught me a lot in that art too. It's a nice change to see you build - that frame was crazy! Thank you.
I really appreciate being able to SEE in this video, how fragile the gold leaf really is! That's something that really can't be communicated by a still image
95% of what he does is the same as what he does most every time and I'm happy to watch cause somehow, its interesting every time. This was one of the few videos where 95% is different than he's done before. Nice vid.
Most awesome!...nice to see you doing another facet of your art!
I used to work at a high-end framers, working in the back room with the gilder, and watching this really took me back. I always loved the terracotta colour of the bole, but boy I'm glad you can't smell that rabbit-skin glue through the screen! Great job on the frame, Julian, looks really great. I bet the customer was over the moon!
