Master carpenter, master painter and a good portion restorer. I admire your versatility, but as a watchmaker your workshop gave me chills. You should get a beautiful studio.
Really nice to see someone on here that knows the proper way to hold and spray a paint cup! Great pattern, BTW. 👍🏼 From someone who sprayed automotive paint onto semi trailers (lorries) for decades as a trailer mechanic. 👋🏼🙂
Thanks for shring your skills with us! Your layering system, using pigments in suspension with your finish, was certainly effective. I can now better appreciate why your record player cabinets are worth so much.
Years ago,1990's, I restored a Triumph and found an old Polish guy in London to restore the dash and door cappings,one capping was past repair but the grain matched the other,I couldn't find a set or even a pair so I left them with him reluctantly accepting that he would veneer the damaged one but I d lose the continuity. when I picked them up he had painted the grain on the damaged re veneered one to match the original,it was a beautiful job,wish I still owned the car. but anyway It's great to see such skills still being practiced,especially by someone so relatively young.
I love how you work Russ, and all the clever tricks with the woodwork, but I'm so impressed with your finishing! I'm making a big dice from Elm and Mopane and will now have to up my game on the finishing, which was never my strong point. Love the videos.
I have often found a brush dipped in the lightest amount of mineral spirits , dried and they ran with the grain across the pigments to help create a more natural look in light woods and finishes. Have had to do this many times on refinish and repair veneered, fire rated doors.
I'm a year late, but well done! For everyone else, it takes an artist eye to do that kind of work, it's more of a talent you have than a skill you can practice up on. I tried it for years and never got very good at it, didn't have the knack.;)
I wished I lived near you. I would beg to apprentice from you- for free. My granddad was a carpenter. He died before knew I had an interest in this art form. Your work is lovely.
By 'eck, I'd be that proud to 'wear' this high gloss grain to my funeral. Mind, I'd have to be laid to rest in a suitably grand vault to reflect the craftmanship, rather under the sod or in't flames.
That was amazing to watch at the end result is truly magnificent, I assume your day job is a French polisher because that's hardly the kind of skillset a DIYer just picks up 👍
Wow! I read about it in Michael Bennett's book but never imagined there would still be a true craftsman painting wood grain in 2021. Do you need special epoxy for oily hardwood?
As always, I sit here shaking my head in awe as I watch your videos.
These are years of skills and experience showing up. Nothing short of perfection.
I wouldn't have thought that a mere mortal could make something so shiny.
Outstanding, as always.
Are you secretly a dragon?
You demonstrate the type of skills we mortals can only dream of. Having the right gear helps but nothing can be a substitute for skill . Well done .

There really is no end to your talents is there?
Brilliant to watch this
Spent the first couple of minutes thinking this is going to look really average. Couldn’t have been more wrong. Stunning job mate 👌👌👌
PERFECTION! I'm sitting here, eyes and mouth wide open. You are a true master of your profession!

Great to see a real craftsman at work. Thanks for the putting the time and efforts into your videos

Would love to see the completed piece that this goes with, not normally a fan of high gloss but with that combination of wood it’s looks stunning 👌🏼
This is a stand-alone vinyl record turntable case.
Beautiful job of blending. The finish looks like what you would find on a $50,000.00 Steinway.
search for shigeru kawai Pyramid Mahogany that looks nice
I wouldn't defile this with the name of Steinway. He actually put effort into this.
@@patrickmeyer2802 And you think the makers of Steinways don't?

Seriously, brilliant job. Each time I thought you were finished, another sanding and another layer of wax and such. Very nice work!

Love the videos.
Stunning! My jaw dropped so far I was having difficulty eating my pie and peas....😊
Wow! WOW! How exquisite! You have a wonderful talent. Greetings from southern Alberta!

Wow! I'm speechless 😲
Beautiful work

Great job mate.. is there no end to your talents 😉👍
Amazing work!
By 'eck, I'd be that proud to 'wear' this high gloss grain to my funeral. Mind, I'd have to be laid to rest in a suitably grand vault to reflect the craftmanship, rather under the sod or in't flames.
Please make more videos I love your skills you have
Tha're a talented lad tha' knows!
With all those layers and blending it is like Photoshop but in real life.
Just that in real life it was the other way around, right?! First was layer painting then photoshop layers, historically.
That was amazing to watch at the end result is truly magnificent, I assume your day job is a French polisher because that's hardly the kind of skillset a DIYer just picks up 👍
Nice work! Mind sharing what setup you used on your gun to spray the polyester and clear coats?
Stunning
MASTERY in the flesh, I mean in the wood
Stunning!!!!
just one word........WOW.......
Your increase the level each time ! Is amazing .... how many hours of work on this projet ?
Great job matey well done
Beautiful.
Wow! I read about it in Michael Bennett's book but never imagined there would still be a true craftsman painting wood grain in 2021. Do you need special epoxy for oily hardwood?
Gorgeous.
Brilliant to watch
The automotive clear coat is really interesting!
Would you recommend it as a kitchen worktop finish compared to epoxy?
Thanks!!
Would love to see some of your work with a French Polish Finish.
Beautiful
NICE Job !
Great job.
You must do work for Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth. Incredibly skilled and beautiful work.
not only a craftman, but an artist! i think you do paintings?? right?
Espectacular acabado 👌
Brilliant blending, but I respectfully ask if it wouldn’t be more cost-effective to source veneers that don’t have defects that need to be touched up?
It'll do I suppose 😉😉
Magnificent!!
Incredible....
extraordinary
Can i ask where you buy your veneer from? I'm in Leeds.
WOW!!! nuff said.
The finish is amazing, but what is it?
Turntable plinth (garrard 301 or 401) I think.
1:16 It's like watching 'Baumgartner Restoration'.....😎
