    Sherry, you deserve an award for the BEST UPCYCLER! Nobody I've seen doing projects with found objects on UA-cam can come close to your creations. And what an unbelievable find! Who just throws out a grandfather clock like this in such decent condition....? You pulled together such a beautiful and unique creation from this clock. You are #1!!!!

    So so sorry to hear of your unfortunate accident….it’s very generous of you to share your experience so that others can learn from it (must be the teacher in you!). I pray your ankle heals quickly and completely…..and, oh, the clock redo was spectacular. It makes me wonder if your neighbors put out items thinking “Let’s see what Sherry can do with that!” Be well.

      Oh, thank you, Deb. The car accident was actually a few years ago, so I am fully recovered. You can be sure that when I saw the clock on the curb, I carefully pulled over to the side of the road! 😜

    Sherry, this video recycling a grandfather clock was delivered at the perfect time for me. In my latest military move, my grandfather clock was damaged beyond repair. So this project is perfect to repurpose the pendulum, the heavy weights, and clock face. Thanks for the great idea. Shellie

    Oh my word. Sherry, you clever, clever girl! I love what you did with this curbfind flip. That blue color is the best. I am so glad you weren't too banged up in your car totaling crash. A broken ankle is no fun. You probably have heard this already, but last week, one of the clues on Jeopardy was William Morris! I was so thrilled I knew the answer, thanks to you!

    When I got my first glimpse of the grandfather clock, I already thought "no way would I consider taking it". I cannot tell you how much I love it now! I walked away from one in a Goodwill store thinking I could not remake it into anything salvageable. All I can say is wow!!!! I have a small area in my family room where I have an inexpensive ladder bookcase that needs to be replaced. The hunt is on! Thank you for the inspiration! This would look amazing in that room!

  • @thechickincharge1073

    That turned out amazing! The color is so vibrant and I think the gold accents make the face seem like a show piece. I have had many a near accident looking for yard sales and curb shopping. I am so sorry that happened to you! It is so hard not to over react when you get back in the car after an accident. I totaled a gorgeous red truck driving in a storm. I was at a stop sign afraid to move because the rain storm was so heavy I couldn’t see anything right in front of me. People behind me were mad because I was just sitting and they kept honking their horn. I was a complete nervous wreck! After a full 5-10 minutes of sitting I let my foot off the break without touching the gas and tried to ease on the highway and was hit immediately. I was a jumpy driver for almost a year afterwards. I wasn’t hurt though, praise Abba! I am thankful it was only your ankle, Sherry! This project was amazing and you give me so much courage to step out and try new things!

    • @CanterburyCottage
      @CanterburyCottage  Рік тому

      Oh, thank you! I hate driving in storms. It is so frightening when you can barely see anything! I’m so glad you weren’t seriously hurt. Because I couldn’t drive for six weeks while my ankle healed, I was a nervous wreck when I finally got behind the wheel again.
