      I, for one, did not miss the story telling. At all. Most of the time it is really fictional. I don't mind a bit of background, i.e. the name of manufaturer, period of manufacture and where the company is located, but not a fictional version of supposed owner and so on. This type of video is the opposite extreme. No elevator music, no description of the work and really loud asmr sounds. When I restore or refinish, I wear ear protection, also for protecting my ears from loud scraping or sanding noise, only to be exposed to it watching a video. I know that some will say:" Turn the volume down."
      Which is what I did. So back to the silent movie era.
      My favourite kind of restoration video? No elevator music. Brief description of the origin of the piece. Description of the work being done and why the choice of work/ material. If relevant purchase price and resell value. No amplified asmr.
      I do understand every content creator has their own style. I followed this channel from the beginning . It used to be my favourite.
      This type of content is more like it used to be. I have always enjoyed watching the content creator's restoration process and I have learned so much. I still do, but the current format ... not so much.

In this really conflicted environment we live in today, I find your videos so peaceful.

    Very nice! I was skeptical of the whitewash at first, but it turned out really beautiful. I really appreciate that you put wood glue in a syringe and get it deep into the lifted and broken spaces. Most other restorers just put it on the knife and try to wedge it it in, but I feel the syringe does a better job.
