Colournoise – have you got any examples of your work. I’d love to see them
Since my dog threw my 'archive' HD across the lounge a few months back I don't have anything to hand. If you really want to see I can grab some photos tomorrow, but they are not technically impressive in any way - I drifted down a rabbit hole of abstract landscapes, influenced by Rothko, Barnett Newman and John Virtue. Since I began teaching painting has taken a back seat to photography and the odd bit of graphic stuff, just for time reasons (I got really involved in 'process' so paintings would take weeks to complete).
Watching this again tonight, it's so dusty in here.
I'm struggling to make a knife block, let alone do what these folks do. Absolutely astounding.

Well worth a visit once it opens - esp if you have kids.
I'm with you, Ambrose, got very hayfever-y in here, too...
It's the stories that go with the items, and the reactions when they're picked up which make it so rich.
Best moment was when Suzie uncovered the guys name on the rocking horse...
Yup.
If you enjoyed the art restoration check out the Baumgartner restoration YouTube channel. Amazing full videos of restoration projects, with narration on most of them, there's so much to it.
Anything that Will does amazes me. Partly because my woodworking skills barely go beyond flat pack, and partly because (and I know this is a 50+ year old's view where anyone clearly younger than me is automatically considered in their early 20's) someone of Will's age should be doing souped up cars or motorbikes, not fuddy duddy stuff like writing desks or rocking horses. And I'm so pleased he does.
Guessing they haven't filmed a series this year. Bugger.
My favourite series on tv.
Sounds interesting, will give it a spin thnks.
Watching restorations is something I’ve been enjoying on youtube on and off for a year or so now. Find it helps insomnia (restful not boring, IME) and is genuinely interesting (again, IME) Some of you might enjoy some of those channels. Some I still subscribe to:
Baumgartner (Paintings restored)
Odd Tinkering (various)
Nekkid Watchmaker
@Malvern Rider try my mechanics on YouTube as well if you haven't already come across it, his work is amazing and very relaxing to watch
Totally agree with "theotherjonv", the young lad doing the woodwork is really encouraging. Nice to see someone of his tender years with enough experience and confidence to tackle some pretty challenging stuff.
I really enjoy that loads of people attach so much sentimental importance to family heirlooms, irrespective of their value.
Got to go, I'm presently crying at an episode of "educating Yorkshire"
