he mentioned his sister and it made me think, is his entire family full of elegant vampires with extensive vocabularies as well or are they like the average person?
i have thought that it is utterly weird that your comment has two thousand and five hundred likes but there were no replies so here i am dropping this comment.
Question:Why people watch this channel? Answer: 1. This guy have a hypnotic voice and way of speaking things 2. He seems passionate about things that are nearly normal for everyday purpose
John finds a way to make literally anything fascinating. It’s not just his voice, he is obviously very intelligent and very knowledgeable. I guess thousands of years of immortality let’s you learn a lot of things
Being a Fine Art restorer (specialised in ceramic, though I can also work with glass and ivory), I find this video perfect, and I just love how you commented on the safety measures to follow because of the chemicals. That is an important piece of advice!
“Certainly if you’ve been given a nose as large as mine, you should surely have a very acute sense of smell.” JOHN’S DRY HUMOR IS REALLY UP MY ALLEY! Hahahaha.
I generaly don't apreciate the LGBTQ+ mouvement because i can't relate with their view on morality but i absolutly love this guy. He is the most sensible "different" person i have ever heard.
I literally do not know why I feel such a need to watch your films. I do not wear make up, nor am I lackering any furniture, yet I find you absolutely fascinating. You are my guilty pleasure, and if I use seamlessnes in a sentence I can not help but Smirk just a little.
*In John's Voice* In today's fillum I will be consuming this yeast infused carb as to fulfill my daily requirements for nourishment. *Chews bread* Ah this bread goes down my throat quite seamlessly. I shall now consume some water to quench my thirst.
When I was pregnant with my 10 year old, my grandfather gave me his mother's rocking chair and my dad completely refinished it in cherry to go with my daughter's crib. Later, I had also inherited my grandmother's mother's folding rocking chair from the early 1920s. She was only 4'11" and it was made for her, so it was little, but in only 5'1" so it's The perfect size. The fabric wasn't in good shape and one leg was broken in half, so I left it with my parents when I was moving between apartments and kind of forgot they even had it. That Christmas, they gave it back. My dad had restored all of the wood and fixed the break. You couldn't even tell after he refinished it all! My mother redid the upholstery. It was just beautiful. I thought it was in my storage unit with my other furniture so my mind was extra blown. I still have both.
Do I ever go antiques shopping? No. Do I buy furniture? Not really. If I had bought old furniture would I lacquer it? Probably not. Do I want to learn or do I care about knowing how to lacquer? No way. Am I willing to listen to 20 minutes of John talking about furniture and how to lacquer just because his voice is heaven, and his pronunciation is everything that is right in this world, and I just think that whatever he says is crucial to my life? Hell yeahh!!!!
You might just be the most interesting person I’ve seen on RUclips. I love listening to you. Honestly you could be talking about anything at all and I would still be in awe.
I think antiques are more well made. Well atleast the ones I’ve admired and have owned. I’m glad you’re giving us variety. John you could put up a “filum” of anything and I am mesmerized by you. 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Ok John, you have such a fascinating and engaging persona that I really feel you could do an entire lifestyle series. People would be interested in anything that you do. I see talks on more of this -furniture, but also shopping with John, cooking with John, decorating, collecting, music, literally anything. Just sharing your unique and interesting world with a fan base that will continue to increase. I’m so glad to see you doing master classes, please consider expanding your range of topics, I see so many exciting possibilities for you. Our world needs your grace and sophistication now more than ever. Bless you.
As a new viewer this is just about the last thing I'd ever expected to see on Mr. Maclean's channel, won't underestimate him again. When I first saw this title I thought it was about nail polish, now I'm more intrigued rather than just amused by him.He effected this change in outlook seamlessly,sorry I just had to say that.
You are helping me get back to refinement and are such a blessing. What an amazing looking piece of furniture. You have taken me back to my childhood because my Great Great Grandfather(from Cullen) was a carpenter and built many beautiful pieces of antiques for Hotels and for their own home. Thank you so very much for this as I am so keen to learn what my Great Great Grandfather did. I too think it's very sad that there are so many sacred antiques just thrown either to 2nd hand shop's or forgotten about. I myself love the antique dresser I have and my drawers. I'm loving your tutorial because I'm on the lookout for certain pieces then try and do the lacquer process you have shown. I would absolutely love love love to see your own works of art..that would be such a special treat. With love and Kindest regards Luna..Namaste ❤🙏🌹
I have no need for restoring old furniture just yet, however, I still find myself watching good ol’ John because the voice this person has is so bloody relaxing. I could literally listen to John speak about spoons for 3 hours and still love every minute
Not sure if you'll see my comments John, but I'll ramble on anyway. I have the same style. Very much into more detailed, ornate, embellished, antique style things...not just furniture, but pretty much anything. I refurbished a TV cabinet that I bought last year, it's solid quality wood and the woman I bought it from considered herself a furniture restorer. She had spray painted it black and blue and had these god awful country style metal stars nailed to the cabinet doors. I patiently and lovingly sanded it down completely, laquered it, painted the doors and inside, and painted the center and corners of the doors using a beautiful medallion stencil. It looks completely different now. It was the first time I'd redone a piece of furniture and I absolutely loved it. It was definitely a labor of love and something I'm excited to do again.
I once made a ball of wood with my grandpa and he encarved my lucky number in it. I remember lacquering it so thickly I almost passed out from the fumes xD. After I filed it down it looked so elegant I decided It would be what I pass on to my children. Filing a sphere so it looks smooth was hell on earth it took me 4 days to make it even, (I eventually ended up with an almost smooth paper to have the finest grain ^^). Today I'm 20, it was 7 years ago but I'm still so proud of myself, It was the first time in my life I showed so much patience and effort on something, trully changed my mind. :D
John: "I'd like to present you with this make-up look I did earlier..." Also John: "I'd like to present you with this furniture I lacquered earlier..." Also John again: "I'd ALSO like to present you with this small village I hand crafted earlier too..."
Oh, a man of my own heart. I enjoy makeup, furniture and home restoration, anything artistic such as paintings and drawings or sculptures... I enjoy things a person can find beauty in. I also enjoy gardening and love animals. You come off as educated, refined and as someone who enjoys making things lovely/lovelier. I would very much enjoy a future film about the process of epoxy coating the top of the table! I could probably watch you in films doing or talking about nearly anything, but I enjoy films or instructional demonstrations on fixing or restoring items. This was wonderful 💕
If he isn't the most gorgeous androgynous person I've ever seen in my entire life then I'm not turning lesbian or bi curious of whatever humdrum labeling you wanna come up with. Like, he seriously needs to start narrating books or the news just so I can hear his voice everyday or at least see that gorgeous face light up the daily news. I guess I will settle for youtube and stalking his IG 😍
2:50 definitely sounds like a vampires polite way of saying "Kids these centuries just don't appreciate craftsmanship like we did in the good ol' days!" but also, same
Thank you for this! I’m getting ready to restore an old family desk! I wasn’t sure if I wanted to paint, lacquer or varnish... this will help me to choose. 👍🏻
I absolutely love this. I think it is so amazing to showcase a loved hobby that is so very different from what you are most known for. I also love how absolutely left field it is.
Beautiful table. I would love to see a step by step process next time with the sanding, polishing, etc. I love this new direction. John can teach us about so much.
What a wonderful tutorial, thank you! And very smart to lacquer a repro: many antiques have been ruined, and lost their value, due to refinishing. It's the patina and history of the piece that makes it worth so much. Cheers♡
I'm glad you mentioned guitars! I love my nitro-lacquered Gibson guitars!!! They even smell great when you first open the cases. Just makes the wood "pop", and also makes it easier to wipe away finger prints and other smudges. I just feel a lacquered guitar is a little more classy than a poly-coated or satin-finished guitar. But each to his own. Having said this, I have had some non-finished instruments that really felt great in my hands and actually played quite well.
Nicole Kennedy-Beaumont Incredibly sorry to hear of this issue for you.... maybe we could suggest some other filums for you until another is presented!...
Stacey Sabot lol😂 I'll be far too busy shopping to acquire everything that is required to lacquer my furniture so it is seamless, all whilst awaiting for John to upload part 2 of this fil'um and tutorial. But I do sincerely have a deep appreciation for your supportive concern. It has had a profound affect on my ability to deal with the emotions that often do come as a result of one's failures. Accepting ones shortcomings is a natural and necessary task in the growth of one's being. I bid to you a marvelous weekend and do take care xx
I like that you mentioned the different types of lacquer and guitars. As most serious guitarists will confirm, older guitars used nitrocellulose lacquer and this is highly desirable. Supposedly the thin coat of nitro makes the wood ‘breathe’ and sound better. I find that it has a different texture and even a different smell than acrylic. I’ve had guitars for over 20 years that still look shiny with acrylic but the one guitar I’ve had for a few years has a thin skin of nitro and it’s already looking dull where my arm rubs constantly.
John You are able to read over and over a restaurant s menu and we can watch you for hours ...days even for weeks ! My respect from Athens Greece! I have never seen in my life soooooo well educated person and such a wonderful character! I apologize if I make any language mistakes
when you mentioned that lacquer is used on guitars it occurred to me how marvelous a video of you restoring old instruments would be... may I submit this as a suggestion for a future film?
I love antiques and antique furniture. I bought some very old clothing trunks dating back to the late 1800’s & I refinished my 1st one & it came out beautiful! I still have one more left in my garage that I have only sanded thus far. I may actually try using lacquer this time, I think the end result would be quite different & yet still beautiful! But I intend to finish it up when the weather breaks this Spring! I love this video! This was fun! Thanks John & much love from Connecticut 💚😊xo
John, please do a lot more furniture videos! They’re great to view and I must say, one loves the detail and depth you go into describing the process. Such a shame to see a lot of beautiful pieces going to waste and I highly approve of people repairing these timeless classics. I’m quite a prude when it comes to furniture I shall admit. The youngest furniture I’d go for is most likely the 1960’s. I do have quite a soft spot for the Art Deco period. I’m currently restoring a gorgeous 1940’s cabinet which houses a record player and a radio, outstanding craftsman which has unfortunately been neglected. I find my young self having recently bought a home buying a lot of projects. I look forward to your future endeavours!
He is a genius. He could come across easily as an Ice Queen but the self depreciating humor and his acceptance of his flaws and willingness to allow us to see them makes him seamless.
he mentioned his sister and it made me think, is his entire family full of elegant vampires with extensive vocabularies as well or are they like the average person?
jerrey n lmao me too I thought he didn’t have family
isn’t he god?
KNG N: 😂😭
I reckon hes a black sheep and theres nothing wrong with that
Ummm not to mention Emilia Fart
Somewhere in John Mclean's attic, there is a Victorian portrait of him getting older by the day.
Real life Dorian Gray
Touchè!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMG XD
💀
John lifting the table with only one hand proves he's a vampire
Karin A ahahaha
lmao
It’s due to what it’s made of. A true antique would be made of a heavier, sturdier wood made to last decades.
I’ve never and have never had anything to do with lacquer but with the way he speaks, I feel I needed all this information
i have thought that it is utterly weird that your comment has two thousand and five hundred likes but there were no replies so here i am dropping this comment.
Lol mee tooo
I have absolutely no intention of lacquering anything. I just came here to listen to you speak.
Sameeeeeeee
Same 😂😂
YES SIS
Hahahaha best comment ! Same here !!
Leigh Megan same
Skin? Cleared
Wig? Snatched
Furniture? *Lacquered*
Hotel? Trivago
Aaron Cyro ugh I was about to write that and then I saw your comment 😂
I love this comment and everyone who replied xD
comment? underrated.
I swear if someone replies to this the trivago thing I'm gon end their life
I’m convinced John knows what he does to us when he says “seamlessness”.
OMG 😂
14:55
RIGHT???????!!!! THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING........ HE KNOOWWWWSSSS!!!!
Mel Fraser agreed
Mel Fraser I need to make that into a text tone.
immortality gives you a lot of time to learn all about lacquer.
LOL
Question:Why people watch this channel?
Answer:
1. This guy have a hypnotic voice and way of speaking things
2. He seems passionate about things that are nearly normal for everyday purpose
Very accurate answers
John: 'Lacquer can be toxic to human beings'
Also John: (not human, is immortal) *sniffs it*
we love an medieval handyman vampire beauty queen.
yungh8tr lol
yungh8tr Dying
yass lol
If i ever see one close to me somewhere in the dark im gonna shit myself
Ruru Asile 🤣🤣
Why yes, youtube recommendations... I WOULD like to watch 19 minutes of a classy androgynous vampire lacquering a small antique table.
Why wouldn't you? Lol
I agree...endeed...
*reproduction
I pressed play and all the furniture in my house suddenly got 200% more shiny and clean.
Hang on
Why the frick am I actually loving watching a immortal lord lacquer a table?
indeed; he is so many things i never knew i needed in my life. i am also mystified.
Coz he rocks, and you know it
Lord Maclean could make a 45 minute tutorial on quantum physics and I'll still stop everything to come and watch it.
wow, sign me up for this!
IN today's filum, we will be discussing how the universe appears to operate quite SEAMLESSLY 😂🤣
you meam 10 hours straight? id sign up too
John finds a way to make literally anything fascinating. It’s not just his voice, he is obviously very intelligent and very knowledgeable. I guess thousands of years of immortality let’s you learn a lot of things
I wouldn’t ever watch this or need this in my life, but if John wants me to watch him lacquer a table, I will watch him lacquer the table.
Amen
😁😁😁
Yes!
Jajajaja!!!! Same here!!!
Being a Fine Art restorer (specialised in ceramic, though I can also work with glass and ivory), I find this video perfect, and I just love how you commented on the safety measures to follow because of the chemicals. That is an important piece of advice!
every time i see a new video in my subscription box i mutter to myself
"in today's filum"
Kiarnii Miller same
Kiarnii Miller z
What's a filum? English is not my first language, I couldn't find what he means.
fernandodomenico I dont know exactly either but I think it is just the way he says film hope this helps but I myself dont know what it means %100
Draco 2108652 yeah it’s just how he pronounces film
“Certainly if you’ve been given a nose as large as mine, you should surely have a very acute sense of smell.”
JOHN’S DRY HUMOR IS REALLY UP MY ALLEY! Hahahaha.
Seems the heart of a renaissance man beats within the chest of John Maclean.
I'd say he somewhat belongs to the Parnasse movement which insists on the necessity of beauty
He was alive then. He is around 2024 years old
I generaly don't apreciate the LGBTQ+ mouvement because i can't relate with their view on morality but i absolutly love this guy. He is the most sensible "different" person i have ever heard.
TheMelopeus, look for his Q&A videos. He doesn’t claim any affiliation. He is The Man!
@@TheMelopeus what morality views of theirs do you disagree with??
lol at 12:17 when he held up the table with 5 fingertips... not even a whole hand like it was no big deal.. dawg are you even human?
Of course not he identify as a god
@@theoziggy2071 fact!
No
😁😁😁😁
john is actually lifting the table with telekinesis, the fingers is just a smoke screen.
This person has more grace in one strand of hair than I have ever had in the entirety of my life.
Nice save, calling this person a person 😂
He does. I love listening to John speak. He reminds me so much of my late brother. :)
Something about this is endearing--he's passionate & there's an innocence about him
Makeup AND restoring furniture? Two of my favorites. What's next? Perhaps some moonlight gardening?
When you said you found that disregard for beauty incredibly wounding I felt it in my heart
12:13 either john is extremely strong or that table is as light as a feather
riggamorrischan Vampires are very strong.
ITS RIGGA MORRIS GIRL!
I'm so glad I didn't skip ahead and ruin that for myself.
riggamorrischan i was like what can this possibly mean he lifted it in like the second minute but let me tell you I am not disappointed
i'm certain he did that to us on purpose
This guy actually invented the English language
NameLoading 😂😂😂
*seamlessly balances table on one hand*
Not on one hand, on 5 finger tips
Literally came here bacause of that. xD
I am a phonetics student from Sweden and I your articulation is just breathtaking! ❤️💕 I adore you ☀️🙏🏻
Will I ever do this? Probably not. Am I here to watch 20 minutes of the most fascinating vampire no matter what.
seams: *exists*
john: b e g o n e, t h o t
Everything stops when Lord Maclean uploads a filum.
mommyzilla00 filum*
Random User I stand corrected 😂😂😂
Right? I’m supposed to be heading off on a ferry... guess I’ll take the next one 😅😅
I just love how all the comments are all positive lol. I see everyone coming together lol
I literally do not know why I feel such a need to watch your films. I do not wear make up, nor am I lackering any furniture, yet I find you absolutely fascinating. You are my guilty pleasure, and if I use seamlessnes in a sentence I can not help but Smirk just a little.
Something about john saying lacquer is just so satisfying.
You could upload yourself eating bread and I would still watch
Lol me too!
*In John's Voice* In today's fillum I will be consuming this yeast infused carb as to fulfill my daily requirements for nourishment. *Chews bread* Ah this bread goes down my throat quite seamlessly. I shall now consume some water to quench my thirst.
Mukbang queen
....I need this to happen now
I'm screaming.
the only time RUclips gets subtitles right is on his videos
sis got yeeted Oh my God! You are right!
Half of the subtitles are off tf you mean?
Kristopher Prevo the auto subtitles bruh
@@marshmallowniriri2326 ya I'm reading them and there are discrepancies in almost every sentence
I'm amazed! You're completely right 🤣🤣🤣
John inspires me to be a better person! I want to be purposeful also; and not sit around NOT making the world more beautiful, kind, and Seamless.
UNDERRATED COMMENT
16:10 "slap it on and hope for the best" YOUR FOUNDATION TECHNIQUE
That amount of passion actually can save the world.
So true.
I always paint/refinish in my old clothes.
John Maclean is wearing a deep black seamless cashmere cape.
Of course.
showing the judges versatility
My pussy is twerking
Pi Kitty Girl, you're up for elimination, twerk til safe.
Yes mawmah versatility the house down!
I’m dead lmao
Omfggg
You are so incredibly beautiful, Lord MacLean, but even more so when you talk about things that you are passionate about. Absolute perfection. 💜🖤

Don't forget to drink your Cyanide .... Wow!! That was a very great idea for a Christmas present. Beautiful.
123alias it was amazing. I keep it wrapped up right now. I don't trust my 2 year old not to run the upholstery! I hope it lasts another 100 years.
12:16 John casually reminding us how strong vampires are even though they look delicate
Watching John effortlessly balance that table on one hand made my whole night. John, your refinement belies your strength! 😉💪
He doesn't even address it
Welp, that only confirms that he's a vampire.
Witchcraft
Vampires are really strong.
Its rigga morris girl
Do I ever go antiques shopping? No.
Do I buy furniture? Not really.

you restored my soul too, Lord Maclean
You might just be the most interesting person I’ve seen on RUclips. I love listening to you. Honestly you could be talking about anything at all and I would still be in awe.
I think antiques are more well made. Well atleast the ones I’ve admired and have owned. I’m glad you’re giving us variety. John you could put up a “filum” of anything and I am mesmerized by you. 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Mel Fraser "Mesmerized" is the perfect word to use to describe
how I feel too! He has tremendous grace...
He’s such an interesting person
Right. I always prefer raw materials over... plastics *ugh!
Also, I rarely take my eyes off his mouth as he is talking....crazy!
Most furniture you buy in big box stores is disposable
I can't believe I watched this. Never have I ever cared about furniture restoration until now lol
I agree with John it is sad when valuable beautiful pieces are discarded carelessly or trashed completely. Such a sense of waste
John- "..when I'm not working I would like to be productive "
Me after working for 2hrs- let's sleep for the next 3 months
I died when he was holding that table like a plate
Aleksander I laughed for a minute straight. He's so androgynous I forget he is a man 😂
Next time on “The Joy of Laquering” with John Maclean, “...and here we’re going to make some seamless little brushstrokes...”
Ok John, you have such a fascinating and engaging persona that I really feel you could do an entire lifestyle series. People would be interested in anything that you do. I see talks on more of this -furniture, but also shopping with John, cooking with John, decorating, collecting, music, literally anything. Just sharing your unique and interesting world with a fan base that will continue to increase. I’m so glad to see you doing master classes, please consider expanding your range of topics, I see so many exciting possibilities for you. Our world needs your grace and sophistication now more than ever. Bless you.
God damn the way he talks is so fantastic and his vocabulary is marvelous. I wish I had a vocabulary has expansive as his, truly.
You have to stop doing what you are doing when John uploads a new FILUUUMMM.

Felipe Cárdenas Ditto. I definitely second that statement.

Seamlessness. He knows what he's doing.

I would very much enjoy a future film about the process of epoxy coating the top of the table! I could probably watch you in films doing or talking about nearly anything, but I enjoy films or instructional demonstrations on fixing or restoring items. This was wonderful 💕
Queen of Lacquering
👌👌👌
TheSplendidChild He's a man. He's *THE MAN*
TheSplendidChild I recently saw one of his videos where he explains he's a man and identifies as a man, just a feminine man.
King
ASMRyouVEGANyet? Word
If he isn't the most gorgeous androgynous person I've ever seen in my entire life then I'm not turning lesbian or bi curious of whatever humdrum labeling you wanna come up with. Like, he seriously needs to start narrating books or the news just so I can hear his voice everyday or at least see that gorgeous face light up the daily news. I guess I will settle for youtube and stalking his IG 😍
"It's not really my style so it's not really a loss." Ahaha love you so much xx
I watch John Maclean videos to make me feel smart and to help sleep from the soothing voice
2:50 definitely sounds like a vampires polite way of saying "Kids these centuries just don't appreciate craftsmanship like we did in the good ol' days!"
but also, same
As an interior designer and a beauty fan, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS KIND OF CONTENT! Please do make more of these! Very informative.
5:58 "It's not going to be seen by many an eye, unless it's a cat." God, you crack me up 😂
The raw power in that thumbnail hit me like a truck
“In my opinion, seldom humble,”... lmao 😆 I love it! 💚 John, your opinion is SEAMLESS!!!!!😊💜💜
Thank you for this! I’m getting ready to restore an old family desk! I wasn’t sure if I wanted to paint, lacquer or varnish... this will help me to choose. 👍🏻
Is it any wonder that John is just as talented in makeup as he is in furniture refurbishment?? 😊 His talents run deep 😊💚💚💚
Allyson Sixx Costello . I see you on every channel I watch . 😂... 😀🙋💟
Fern xx 💋 hi!
Yes woodshop teacher John. I like the idea of you sharing your carpentry creations. I love the diversity
Oh my goodness, what a special treat! Thank you for expanding our horizons again, John. 😊
Thank you for the free class ❤️ I was thinking about redoing my coffee table.
i expected you to name the brush you were using something like, "Today i'll be using a Kryolan synthetic brush D-2324C"
that's hilarious!
I want a 10hr long video of him just talking
Such an incredibly underrated comment; made my day just thinking about that existing 🤗😊
I want to watch him sleeping.
I need to see John on The Antique Roadshow
Uuuuugh I LOVE ANTIQUES ROADSHOW!!! 🥰
I absolutely love this. I think it is so amazing to showcase a loved hobby that is so very different from what you are most known for. I also love how absolutely left field it is.
Your charisma and body language and confidence and everything basically is simply mesmerizing.
Beautiful table. I would love to see a step by step process next time with the sanding, polishing, etc. I love this new direction. John can teach us about so much.
What a wonderful tutorial, thank you! And very smart to lacquer a repro: many antiques have been ruined, and lost their value, due to refinishing. It's the patina and history of the piece that makes it worth so much. Cheers♡

Just makes the wood "pop", and also makes it easier to wipe away finger prints and other smudges. I just feel a lacquered guitar is a little more classy than a poly-coated or satin-finished guitar. But each to his own. Having said this, I have had some non-finished instruments that really felt great in my hands and actually played quite well.
Sorry to say but I lacq-uer the refinement required to emulate the beauty this fil'um exudes x
Nicole Kennedy-Beaumont Incredibly sorry to hear of this issue for you.... maybe we could suggest some other filums for you until another is presented!...
Stacey Sabot lol😂 I'll be far too busy shopping to acquire everything that is required to lacquer my furniture so it is seamless, all whilst awaiting for John to upload part 2 of this fil'um and tutorial. But I do sincerely have a deep appreciation for your supportive concern. It has had a profound affect on my ability to deal with the emotions that often do come as a result of one's failures. Accepting ones shortcomings is a natural and necessary task in the growth of one's being. I bid to you a marvelous weekend and do take care xx
Lady Beaumont! That response is even better to read while saying it in John's accent lol very poetic
MrPotato Head Thank you. Your display of appreciation is also very touching lol xx
Nicole Kennedy-Beaumont 50 points were added to my IQ range just by reading this.
I like that you mentioned the different types of lacquer and guitars. As most serious guitarists will confirm, older guitars used nitrocellulose lacquer and this is highly desirable. Supposedly the thin coat of nitro makes the wood ‘breathe’ and sound better. I find that it has a different texture and even a different smell than acrylic. I’ve had guitars for over 20 years that still look shiny with acrylic but the one guitar I’ve had for a few years has a thin skin of nitro and it’s already looking dull where my arm rubs constantly.
You could speak to me about how grass grows my dear and I’d listen to you and actually learn. Thank you!!! Xoxoxo
John You are able to read over and over a restaurant s menu and we can watch you for hours ...days even for weeks ! My respect from Athens Greece! I have never seen in my life soooooo well educated person and such a wonderful character! I apologize if I make any language mistakes
Lacquer asmr! Only Lord Maclean could make lacquering look elegant.
when you mentioned that lacquer is used on guitars it occurred to me how marvelous a video of you restoring old instruments would be... may I submit this as a suggestion for a future film?
I love antiques and antique furniture. I bought some very old clothing trunks dating back to the late 1800’s & I refinished my 1st one & it came out beautiful! I still have one more left in my garage that I have only sanded thus far. I may actually try using lacquer this time, I think the end result would be quite different & yet still beautiful! But I intend to finish it up when the weather breaks this Spring! I love this video! This was fun! Thanks John & much love from Connecticut 💚😊xo
John, please do a lot more furniture videos! They’re great to view and I must say, one loves the detail and depth you go into describing the process. Such a shame to see a lot of beautiful pieces going to waste and I highly approve of people repairing these timeless classics. I’m quite a prude when it comes to furniture I shall admit. The youngest furniture I’d go for is most likely the 1960’s. I do have quite a soft spot for the Art Deco period. I’m currently restoring a gorgeous 1940’s cabinet which houses a record player and a radio, outstanding craftsman which has unfortunately been neglected. I find my young self having recently bought a home buying a lot of projects. I look forward to your future endeavours!

He is a genius. He could come across easily as an Ice Queen but the self depreciating humor and his acceptance of his flaws and willingness to allow us to see them makes him seamless.
