I honestly can't even think of a better example, from this or any other channel, of someone taking a piece of crud covered and rusted holey junk and transforming it into a truly unique and beautiful item that I'd be happy to own.

    Hi Si, I had a lighter exactly that model given to me in 1969, then I gave up smoking in 1971 and never smoked again. I loved the silver three penny bits when young in the 40s but even then they were disappearing. The rusty lamp now clock was great. I think it looked a bit like the sort of torch that policemen wore on their belts, right shape but I could not see the bit on the back to slot it on the belt. And I must be very archaic because I used Airwick fresheners when a young married.

    The shard you found at 7:06 is from a keramic bottle of Lucas Bols, Jenever distiller in Amsterdam. He started distilling when glass was still a luxury item and so those stone bottles "kruik" was the way to bottle his product. Actually still does. Bols is a big brand now exporting all over the world! In Russia Bols vodka is known to be quality.

One set of links hangs from the bottom hole with beads on it.The other two holes connect to beaded necklace. I believe the face you see is the face of Virgin Mary”the ghostly face “. I’m Catholic, I don’t know if you know what a Rosary is. Look it up you’ll see. That’s old because of the wire held the beads. It is definitely a blessed object. Very cool. Loved the up cycle.

    'Vade Mecum' Latin for Take Me with You' - some sort of médecine ? I think that knobbly wooden stick with brass at the ends is an oriental drawer pull. Very nice. I think the mud is anaerobic too, like the Thames, so not much deterioration. What a place - jam-packed full of things. The S for Simon is a military insignia, the two loops that hold it in the uniform are squashed flat.

    Hi Si, the little Madonna charm you found reads ‘Riccordo’ on the back….its Italian, and translates to ‘I remember’ meaning the buyer probably bought it at a church or a religious place while on holiday as a fond memory keepsake…

    I was hoping that you would use 30:48 that part in the lens hole and backlight it with a nice green, aqua, or blue LED light. But as a desk clock, it is very cool.

    Si, great upcycle🥰 The SI bit looks to me like a dollar sign💰. And my guess is, that it was part of a money clip.

    The wooden shaft with finials is a bobbin for making bobbin lace. They came in matching pairs.

    I would have done the face different. I'd make the gears into a cloud formation and have the art deco-looking building come out of the clouds like a city in the sky. I love what you did, nicely done

    Great fun to watch, wish I were there but in USA. You found the center medal for a rosary -- medal with a bit of chain and three links,; and that brown marble which you called glass might have been a German Bennington -- imported here mid 19th century to WWI -- a glazed pottery marble. The browns are most common, then blues, and you can identify Bennington by the bumps like moon craters left where marbles touched one another in the kiln. Pinks are valuable here, green can be too. Liked the ring you found and the wonderful piece you created. (Was that a transistor radio once? It's the shape of ones we had in the 1960s and early 70s. Alas I'm that old, bit creaky for mudlarking.) Happy hunting!

    First medal was either Our Lady of Lasalette or St Clare, and the other three hole med was a Rosary medal with an image of Mary.

    At 7 min it,s a piece of a old gin bottle from Bols Amsterdam,Bols is stil making gin and other liqueurs, Rembrandt van rijn used te live on the oppesite of the Bols stil and traded some of his paintings for liqueur, the paintings are stil there,now owned bij Heineken and the stil is a museum now!

    The wood/brass thing could be some type of valve that goes into tubing, a stopper, or maybe a handle for a high mounted toilet tank?

    The back of the pendant says "Ricordo", Italian for "Souvenir". The artifact at 9:25 comes from a rosary (the Hail Mary).

    really have enjoyed how you've gone from upcycling to creating your own art.
    When you made the corners by cutting a circle and then a slit. You made it into a 3 corner pyramid in a way. Which was an interesting bit of geometry at play. lost about 180 degrees in the process.., but that's life

    The wooden stick is a pencil from victorian age ( its a guess), Si, you are so creative, most of us would never be able to look at a piece of metal, round it, cut it, bend it and use it for a corner of a beautiful clock creation.
