While conservation is often described as a non-creative field, there are moments of intense creativity; in the selection of materials, in the solving of a unique problem with technology and sometimes, in the choice of the aesthetic as well. Join along for the restoration of a severely damaged frame and see how technology joins with craft and aesthetics for a stunning result.

you can tell he had a LOT of fun with this
the background "reactions" are just annoying...
@@chloeuntrau4588 shut up chloe
@@chloeuntrau4588 then don’t watch the video? WOAH, problem magically solved :)
@@chloeuntrau4588 agree.. interesting stuff, but annoying audio effects.
@@sidekickbob7227 I agree, the sound tracks were not my favorite and I hope he doesnt incorporate it, but every now and then having some fun with the format can be interesting. It's not gonna land for everyone all the time though.
I was NOT expecting a bit like The Kitchen of Conservation. LOVE how much fun Julian’s having
He had me at "homemade gesso." The rabbit skin part is sort of creepy to me, though.
Instead of Juliet Childs, it is Julian Childs...
@@user-mv9tt4st9k why is it creepy?
Nobody expected the Kitchen of Conservation bit. . .
Same, loved it! xD
5 years from now when he brings this frame out for a client's restored painting, only those of us who are long-time fans will get to be insiders and know the whole history without having to binge old episodes. Like Baumgartner OGs.
So true
Or it could be an excuse to binge rewatch! 😁
I would still bingewatch , and look throw the old stuff (~￣³￣)~
I'm sure he will boast about it.
@@rubenproost2552 😂
This whole video feels like it was made just for his pure entertainment and I'm totally here for it
Not totally incorrect 🤷♂️
I hated the laugh track and the oohs and aahs. So distracting!
I loved it, I was laughing out loud the whole time.
I love this project. Not cause of the frame, not cause of the new segment, I love it cause it is an experimentation project, where he uses something "disposable", to practice his skills and test new possible ways to work on future projects.
Flies in the face of all the productivity and optimization advice we're bombarded with. Not everything you do in a day has to be billable hours, or perfectly productive.
The cooking section with the crowd’s reactions so spot on clearly shows how disturbingly well Julian understands his fanbase lol 😂
To be honest, at first the "audience" sound effects were offputting to me, but then I realized they had been added for a humor effect. At that point I enjoyed them and the total segment's presentation! Kudos!
I don't know if that section appeals to Americans or something, but I found that section atrociously annoying...
@@carlford729 At first I felt the same way about the sound effects as you did. Watching this a second time they now just seem silly and funny. Maybe I’m just in a better mood 🤷🏻♂️
Wasn't my favorite bit of Baumgartner-ness. I appreciated the attempt more than the execution, the sound effects were more annoying than amusing.
And what goes through his head as he works haha
shout out to kit retouching another painting in the background so julian has time to show us something completely different! how grateful he must be to have such a skilled assistant 🥰
Yeah, before he mentioned how he was using this as a way to see if 3D printing could work on frames I wondered how he had the time to remove that overpaint and then sand before I thought about Kit. The several layers of gesso (plus sanding for each) after that made me burst out laughing.
She must’ve had some fun while the master is away.
Hey @BaumgartnerRestoration -- I do a ton of metal leafing (copper, faux silver and gold) and if you're ever looking for an application tool that allows you to put more direct pressure on small areas of the adhered leaf, grab a pack of those acoustic foam sound-dampening panels and cut 'em up. One of the only materials I've found that's easy to work with and doesn't stick to the leaf (...until you get sloppy and get adhesive on it).Oh, and also : the 200 and 400 grit soft foam truncated-diamond-shaped nail buffers (Orly Buffer is my fave) available at your local beauty supply store are great for sanding small curvy areas with minimal pressure, as the foam in those is generally much softer than the stuff in a hardware store sanding sponge, and the sanding surface is thinner and more flexible.
Really good advice
What state of mind was he in when he made the restoration kitchen? It's hilarious lol.
I can only assume the fumes have finally gotten to him. :)
i enjoyed it too hihi 😁👏 bravo
i'm just wondering why Julian isn't wearing his wedding ring... 🤔 maybe it isn't fit anymore? it seems he lost some weight 😞
Stay healthy, Sir Julian! 💪
@@Channelobunnies one too many hours of scraping :,D
I loved the sound effects!
That happens when you forget to wear a mask while using a paint stripper 😛
For those wondering what project this frame comes from, the video is called "Revisiting an Old Friend" from a couple of years ago ;)
Thank you! I was trying to remember where I'd seen it, and was coming up blank.
Thanks from me too; I've just discovered this channel, and now I can go watch that 'prequel' video. Very kind of you do 🎉❤
If you think about it, by scanning the ornamentation off of any frame in your storage, you could theoretically create a library of ornamental corners and crests that could be reproduced in various combinations to create a frame of just about any dimension and size. There's also a place that carries a warehouse of ornamentation called decorators supply. It has various ornamentation in wood, composite, and plaster. It's located in Chicago.
Haven't watched in a year or two, and it's crazy to see how much more comfortable and relaxed in from of the camera he is , and the newer style of editing. So fun to see the progress, still just as calming and relaxing, just with a little more pizzazz
I watch these while trying to sleep (it’s interesting enough to distract me from stress-inducing thoughts but also calming enough to be restful) and the part with the “cooking” almost had me thinking I was already asleep and dreaming XD
😅
I was watching this just now and I currently have a fever, so i can guess at how you felt, I found it so unreal! 😂
The infomercial-style kitchen segment is so fun! I love it. Gives this video in particular a unique feel.
This video shows why you ate truly great at your craft. You don't discount new techniques or materials because it's not what you're used to but you try them out and integrate what works.
I really hope he didn't eat his craft.
He is, indeed, truly great!
@@error.418 mmm, rabbit skin
@@comradewindowsill4253 lol
The applause section is what Julian hears inside his head while recording all his lines.
one might even say that the applause is... critically important
Whenever you bring up learning from your dad and your dad learning from his, I get so starstruck!!! Like of all family business, art restoration has to be one of the best 🤩
I know right! I’m a painter and my grandfather was as well, but he didn’t bring out that side of himself until he was much older and sadly was unable to pass on much in person. He passed his art equipment (easel, old bob ross vhs, books, paints, brushes…) down to me after he died, and I cherish them so very much. What a dream come true to be born into a family of art conservationists and be able to learn such awesome skills passed down through time!
As a custom framer, I've always wanted to get into frame restoration. Had SO many beautiful frames abandoned with me by customers because they were chipped or "dated" or didn't fit in with their decor. If I had more space at home this would be something I'd love to experiment with
Oh my... I normally don't like frames like that, golden and ornamental but what you've done with this one is mindblowing and really brigns the best out of it!
As a novice professional framer and conservation enthusiast, this is awesome! I really hope you get to do more frame restorations.
This young man has so many talents! He is a scholar and a true craftsman in the tradition of his forebears. They, and, indeed, all bears should be proud of him.
LOL😂
There are five bears.
Hahaha!
My dad passed away a little over a year ago, and it's weird to realize I can't learn anything from him anymore. So. Thanks for your dad's gesso recipe.
Reminds me of a project I helped with a few years ago. My mom worked as a help to the stone masons working on renovations to the LDS Mesa temple. There was a lot of ornamental plaster work that had seen to many years of abuse and to many coats of paint. One of the details that was lost was some ornamental urns above some of the doors. There had been many attempts to recreate it but they had all failed and the architect and preservationist were coming to the conclusion that it might be too expensive to recreate. I was in school at the time for 3d design and drafting I took one look at the urn and told my mom that it would be easy to recreate. I took some measurements and pictures of the original and in an afternoon I had a rough model to show the architect. She asked for some small changes and after those where made I 3d printed it on my hobby printer. the print with the cad files were later sent to a plaster casting company and I have pictures of the castings finished and in their place. It's probably the only time I'll ever work on a project like that but it was fun and I learned a lot about old plaster work.
Whoa, imagine having artwork (of sorts haha) in a TEMPLE. Next time I visit my family in Mesa, I’ll have to look at the urns above the doors in there. That’s cool!!!
That is absolutely epic
@@irelyndhenry4300 I had the privilege of visiting a new LDS Temple and very impressed. It was very grand and yet very homey and comfortable, too. At least the parts I was able to enter...
Somehow as a gilder student this was both a little bit painful yet interesting to watch 😂 it's fun to see such a rare knowledge shared on a channel I love 😌
gilder here! i feel exactly the same! haha
You've got me intrigued, how's that?
What was painful about it?
This turned out beautiful. I know the intent is to use it for an artpiece but I personally look at the finished frame and see it with a mirror in blue/green satin damask wallpaper over some fancy sidetable with a gorgeous ikebana arrangement and candles on fancy candelabra.
Exactly!
04:51 MY GOD THIS IS ICONIC JULIAN WHAT THE FLOCK
That really caught me off guard and let me tell you, I'm all here for it
It's great to see how your creative juices flow when the project allows it
As an avid and long time fan, thank you for this!
Mate the quality and simply enjoyability of your content has gotten so far in these last years. Always a pleasure to watch, thanks!
The fact that you are merging such old techniques and technologies along side beautifully complicated new age techniques is fascinating, and the main reason I love this channel.
As usual, thank you so much for what you do!
Distressed frames are the sort of item that look ugly close up and gorgeous when paired with the right painting. Love the work! Thank you for sharing!
Oh my goodness, you so remind me of my Poppa. He was a Master builder here in England, specialising in stately homes. He would repair/replace the most damaged architrave, with beautiful designs of grapes with roses and ivy. He could hand carve wood and replace barley twist features. Taking wrecked homes and restoring them back to their former glory. He also built homes for friends from start to finish.
When he passed away, the Vicar said he will never be gone as a part of him remains in the work he did in homes around the country. It's a lovely thought.
Watching you takes me back to being a little girl watching him. You may have power tools nowadays, but you still have to work so much by hand. Remembering skills you have been taught and learnt yourself through experience. I love it that you are like him, a true professional. You don't skip or rush processes, if ot takes six applications, that's what you do. I know this frame is yours, but I always think with your paintings, I bet you never ever really charge your clients enough. You may cover the hours you put in at the studio but not the hours spent at home like he did thinking of new ways to improve a repair etc.
A true professional is rare nowadays, but you truly are one. Thank you for sharing with us your skills and showing us the hidden beauty you can reveal with all your hard work.
Wow! Who knew so much work goes into a frame?! Gilding looks like it would be really difficult to do well. The end result is amazing! Great work!
Having dabbled with gilding, the really tedious part is all the sanding, everything else is either quick or fun.
So THATS how its done!!! I have a very large framed mirror that I found in an antique shop years ago and was so mesmerized by the beauty of the finish on the ornately carved frame that I bought it and it leans atop my fireplace mantle like a piece of fine art. I'm sure it is a thoroughly modern piece only painted to replicate this effect and not real gold, but it is this very stunning antique "gilding" technique that does catch the eye. It frames a beveled glass mirror that gives depth and warmth to my 100 year old living room.
Julian: magnificent, gorgeous, outstanding! I love that frame. As an interior designer, I can see an empty frame, to a beveled mirror,-not to mention an art piece placed into it to grace a wall. You’re amazing. Carol from California
Lol, I love the Kitchen of Conservation!!! The sound effects were hilarious!!!
❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
This was AMAZING. As soon as you mentioned the frame that a prior client chose not to bother with I looked up from what I was doing, I remember that frame! Nice to see it get a second chance at life.
Which video was it? I don't remember
Dust collectors? Yes we all have those! lol
Great! I foresee several whole nights up reviewing past videos, looking for that painting!
@@oceanbreeze6455 You know what I can't remember and I tried to find it but it's not in the thumbnail. I swear I remember this frame from an earlier video
He said that it was left by a client about ten years ago. I’m not sure he was filming his work that long ago, but by all means, binge on!!!
The smile I got when you put on that last glaze of black paint. I love it! I think it is absolutely gorgeous!
The cooking section is my new favorite thing! I love that you take your work very seriously but have a fun time doing it!
Julian is the Olympian God of Patience. I am impressed and inspired. What a fantastic final result. All of this is done with humor. I loved the kitchen part of it with the noises.
Okay, I knew better than to slap on some spackling compound and apply a can of gold spray paint but the level of craftsmanship and artistry involved in this project was off the chain!
In the early part of my career I spent a lot of time on construction projects in their final phases. You would be appalled at how much "custom trim and woodwork" is actually just standard dimensional lumber from Home Depot, a few pieces of standard foam trim from the cheap end of the trim aisle, a coat of thinned drywall mud, and liberal application of a large handful of rags while the mud was still wet. Let it dry, hit it with some steel wool, prime it, paint it, and it looks just like a seamless piece of painted custom millwork.
😂😂 I wholeheartedly agree! (my mother was a master of the spackling compound and paint technique to make things pretty again)
The sheer amount of materials used, technologies and techniques is simply fascinating. Put together in such a informative and humorous video style is something im looking forward to all the time! Thanks for your content!
When I go to art museums, I really enjoy looking at all of the different kinds of frames. This was an interesting video!
from someone who thrifts frames and reworks them for personal display, this was a great video- my biggest takeaway was to remember about underpainting to increase the depth and richness of the piece. Thank you for the reminder.
The cooking show skit made me chuckle, love your sense of humor. A fun diversion from art restoration, I could definitely watch more frame videos in the future.
Consider using it to frame an antique mirror. Don't have an antique mirror that size? Consider adding mirroring to a beautiful beveled glass that you can buy at any glass store! The best part of mirroring your own glass is that you can make the mirroring any color and you can make the mirroring as distressed as you want. And a beautiful mirror like that is worth giving to your beautiful wife! Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵😷.
I don't usually comment on your videos, but this was absolutely the best fun. Listening to you, watching you "cook" and then just create something that in the end is simply stunning was fantastic. I don't do what you do and too old to start now, but I have learned so much from watching your channel. You are an incredible conservationist/restorer and with an eye that just leaves me speechless. The amount of detail, the nuance in the colors, the layering, the lengths you go to and yet you make it seem effortless. With or without Kit, lol. You have spoiled me to where I simply can't watch other do this kind of work because they don't measure up to you. I believe that you have made me a snob where this is concerned and so I just wanted to say, "Gee, thanks Julian!" 😂😂😂😂😂
Re: watching someone else do this kind of work-I too can’t do it. I find myself criticizing (like I know ANYTHING!), and saying to the screen, “Julian wouldn’t do that!” Or, “Julian did it this way.”
When the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York acquired the art collection of Robert Lehman, it included a number of vintage frames, and when the museum published a series of books about the art collection they did a volume solely devoted to those frames. They are beautiful just as they are, without art in them. I don't know if they ever had an exhibition devoted to the frames, but the book showcasing them was enough to allow us to appreciate them.
Isn't it interesting that these pieces which are purely designed to showcase the artworks (& historically, to make them more visually imposing), eventually can become valued as artworks themselves? It's a little bit like watchmaking, to my mind: the end result is highly functional, but it can also have significant aesthetic value in its own right, with the work of individual craftspeople or studios being specifically appreciated. A really interesting meditation on how we define "art" vs "craft", and art in general!
Magnificent work as always, Mr. Baumgartner. It makes a formidable presentation on its own, but when it's paired with a fine painting it will be absolutely stunning.
Or a fine old mirror.
It was really interesting to see something, which is so close to me.
My car restoration, bodywork !
The same applications of filler, lead loading areas, more filler, then the never ending flatting down the filler before even thinking of the final finish to be applied.
But you are actually even working the final finish !
And what a finish !
In 400 years, a Conservator will be saying, "Aaah, they don't make frames like that, these days"
Justification !
Stay safe.
Stu xx
I attempted a frame restoration a little over a year ago and I could have really used this video for that! Gilding is really underappreciated! I spent a fortune on gold because I couldn't get the coverage I thought I needed. I see yours looks great with the bole showing through more and I needed a sense of how that should look. Also the white gold was a BIG surprise but sooo pretty.
3:53 I always appreciate Julian's desire to keep things interesting by upping the ante of the camerawork but the camera in this shot is moving in such a way that it really feels like I'm trying to politely escape while he's trying to corner me so he can explain to me the beauty of a website built with squarespace
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I work in 3D scanning, seeing that revopoint scanner was very pleasing :)
love seeing practical uses for tools like that
Your use of 3D tech was brilliant and appropriate. You correctly calculated the ROI by clearly defining yourself as a conservator/restorer as opposed to a 3D designer/printer. You do the creative work and let the techs do theirs; the advantage is to the end customer who gets the benefit of both expertises at a reasonable cost.
As cheesy as it was, it was really cool to see some of that uh, culinary demonstration. I've been curious about the details of the chemicals, solvents, and glues ever since I found this channel and it's nice to finally have a bit more than a couple words on it.
I was literally dying during the studio audience section of your "cooking demo" of Gesso. So amazing!!
I've needed this video! 😭
I've been collecting frames for years and I never knew how to fix them! Thank you!
I have a little pile of collected cheap frames that I hope to transform for vintage family images. I took notes!
I love the finish you chose here. Adding the black to the bars and painting the recesses dark really help let the ornamentations pop!
I love that you brought this beautiful frame back to life...I think what you do is important as well as educational, informative and entertaining. Thank you.
the cooking section was so silly and so deeply appreciated after a not so great day. thanks julian!!! great video!
Before it just looked like a blob, now it is amazing!!
I commented that I love your frame restorations and man, did you deliver! What beautiful work. It's masterful. THANK YOU!!!!
I just made a tiny course on frame restoration and conservation.. this video was like another lesson! Muito obrigado mestre
So much for "only touching up where there are losses." It came out beautifully! The gilding process was especially fun to watch.
That Kitchen of Conservation segment was absolutely hilarious! Thank you for the laughs!
I very much enjoyed this video. The frame turned out really pretty. It’s nice to see Julien working on something that he can practice a new skill on and flex his creativity.
I'm such a huge fan of this channel.
It would be a beautiful mirror frame too. Antique mirror to put in the studio just incase a suitable painting isn’t around yet. Might as well 😁
Sounds like someone had a bunch of reaction sounds they paid for, but really wanted to use them :)
On a real note, this is a brilliant video. So nice to have a lighthearted video after a stressful Monday at work ^^
Beautiful, just the other day I was watching Adam Savage talking about gold gilding and he mentioned how to do it proper it was necessary to have a red layer under the gold leaf, now I know why. The internet is awesome
Fantastic and absolutely beautiful frame. Piece of art all on its own 😍
The overlap of skills with finishing this and prop-making for theater or film was very interesting. I think being a "maker" and willing to play with new and old techniques is what makes crafts like this alluring. Amazing work, as always.
The kitchen section was so much fun to watch! 😂
Oh, gosh. I really needed this. Sometimes when life is rather shoddy and rough, following an artist through a project like this can really be a panacea, and a good reminder that there are people and artists out there who are still dedicated to quality work. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Julian.
Julian, what an interesting video and a beautiful job. Wow I bet the former owners would want it if they see it. Good frame for a mirror
Hello!! Love all your content Julian! One small correction is that quartz is not made of calcium carbonate it is made of silica dioxide, SiO2. The mineral I think you were looking for would be calcite which is also very abundant in the earths crust and like marble and limestone is made of CaCO3!!!
Wow!!!!! The final results looks astounding!
You created a great frame! It looks really nice! Watching you restore it step by step was so satisfying. Also, the cooking segment was genius, incredibly hilarious. Personally I'm not a fan of the laughing track and stuff, but the segment in and of itself was absolutely fantastic to watch, I could tell you had a blast filming it.
Yes! I love when he works on the frames!
Great episode Julian. I can imagine an antiqued mirror would look great in this.
That's the first thing that came to my mind, too: if you have a great frame but no artwork, put a mirror in it.
That frame is a piece of art! Amazing, funny, creative, clever... You never cease to teach, inspire and inform in the most entertaining way!!!
As a sound designer and artist, this is officially my favorite Baumgartner episode.
I am a crafter and it instantly became one of my favorites.
@@user-mv9tt4st9k We need to be prepared to support Julian the day he decides to form his own boyband
Your choices of saving, painstakingly restoring and preserving this elegant frame will, no doubt, benefit a future piece of art and compliment it since that's the way the universe operates, Lovely work.
A bit of advice on using static glue mixers (the tube on the front of your 2 part epoxy). To ensure proper mixing you should discard the first part of the glue, because the static mixer only works reliably when it is completely filled with liquid. As a rule of thumb you can discard a line the length of the mixer, or a length specified by the manufacturer.
You are so careful with all the things you do in your shop. It's really nice to see someone who cares for what they do and it's not just the money. You make it interesting without being boring. Thank you.
LOVED this! Especially the Kitchen segment lol. This was so awesome to watch, thank you for your hard work!
That frame is stunning, and I've learned so much!! TBH I was a bit disappointed when there was no painting, but now I agree the frame could stand as art on its own.
Good tip from the great Adam Savage: Use not just one, but different color paints when weathering to get an even better result.
As I speak english as a foreign language, I enjoy Julian's usual expressions like "and that's the name of the game" and "and I do.not.want.that." so much! Which julian's expressions you like?
It is so beautiful! I was unsure about the white-ish gold when you applied it, but the shellac really warmed it up.
The format change is great! Funny and still educational! Beautiful work!
That was brilliant!...it reminded me of the time when I was about eight years old and my uncle came to visit. He was a cabinet maker and he gave me a small tin of gold leaf. Who knew that it was great as nail polish?😂
Please do more The Kitchen of Conservation segments, this one about homemade gesso was really interesting to watch and could be implemented in other conservation processes.
I agree, please more kitchen of conservation.
Without the crowd noises please. That was a bit cringe and went on too long. The first few times were cute but it got annoying quickly.
He could make a really funky intro.. like on those old cooking shows.. like a 5 seconds intro with over the top letters and a sections "you will need"
@@SirWussiePants Yep, loved the information, hated the canned laughter.
That frame is so gorgeous. Absolutely sublime! Such nuanced artistry!
That’s incredibly interesting, I enjoyed it very much!
This frame looks absolutely stunning by the end. Absolutely beautiful ❤️
Thank you Julian. I was laughing, intrigued and informed throughout. 👍🏾🇬🇧💙
So fabulous Mr B.I have just collected a huge old frame which I intended to restore by casting and carving.The 3D seems a great solution.This vid was very helpful and informative
That frame, just as it is, an artwork in itself. Once more, an informative, interesting well made video, and fun too. Cudos to you sir.💛
The final step of painting in the recesses and then wiping it back felt like it could have been from Adam Savage on Tested. Two of my favorite channels together as one. I loved it!
My thoughts exactly!
Only Adam uses a mixture of umber and burnt umber for the weathering.
I am shocked you don't have a 3d printer, they are so useful! Mines mostly useful for making dust collectors, but you can use them for other things too!
I usually like to put you videos on while doing something else but today I was so taken by the beautiful work you put into this frame, I couldn't look away for a second! Absolutely awe-inspiring
