    Thank you for joining us for another week! This one's particularly exciting as it's our first 4K video. Would love to get your feedback on this and how much it's added to the viewing experience (if at all 😂).

      Are you going to leave the mortar in the stones as is? color wise,or give it a paint as well.The table was a display of nail sizes for builders and ship builders.Look thoroughly for a brand somewhere in the back

    HI Michael, the board is a display board for nails what was forced by a blacksmith in the old days.

    Oh well that`s me all caught up to date with your vlogs , you`re doing a grand job and the pointing makes such a difference wish I had done the same with my French cottage but I thought it was too much work getting all the concrete off the stones all around , plus we are in our 60`s so we would probably be in our 70`s by the time we had finished 🤣🤣

    • @PortugalonaPostcard

    Like so many others I love the pieces you picked up and restored. The table looks perfect in situ. Was very amused at Tilly checking out the gate - clearly unimpressed by the barrier. 🤣 Amazing what a difference using the wire brush on the stone makes. Thanks again Michael and Becci regards from Australia.

    Love your new antiques, amazing the difference a little clean and beeswax can have. Its a shame the table was stripped of its original patina though. Pointing coming on very nicely. I can't comment on the 4k lol I watch on a fairly small PC screen so all I can say is the video work looks great (as usual) but I am sure someone out there will be watching on their ginormous 4k TV screen and can tell you how superb it looks :)

    • @PortugalonaPostcard
      @PortugalonaPostcard  Місяць тому +1

      Isn't it just!! 😍 Definitely...I think it's going to take a good few coats of beeswax to get it back!
      Our TV isn't fancy either so couldn't see the full effect ourselves 😅
      Thanks so much and have a lovely weekend! X
