      I didn't even think about that. Yes! I especially love that he rarely speeds up the video. I kind of like watching small bits of work in real time, rather than the entire restoration in 20X fast forward speed. This is the only channel I watch the video the day it comes out.

    I’m in bed early & the fireworks are starting outside as an old year ends & a new one begins. Instead of getting rat-arsed I’m enjoying watching restoration videos by the one & only gentle genius. Best New Year I’ve had since my husband proposed to me 1/1/1997.

      Now it can be used for another 100 years without worry because in 100 years you'll be able to 3D print an identical one
