    A masterwork on a small scale -- all the detail, from the woodwork to the metalwork to the upholstery, and we've still got the painting to look forward to. The Borax wagons are your masterwork of a large (very large) scale. Truly amazing that one man can do so much so well, and video it in the bargain.

    18:15 is the exact reason why after 35 years, I still love doing signs. Just check out that smile on Dave's face. That's the mark of the old saying "If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life"

    I must say that you really are an artist.I've been watching your videos and I must say that your very knowledgeable with all the trades that you can do. I myself can do most of what you do. BUT UN like me you do it the old school way with only having the advantage of the tools we have today compared to back then. YOUR one great man of keeping it real and trying to keep the knowledge so that all those important things on just how things were done. (BUT) when I saw you hand stitch that front header bow by hand I just about went crazy. "WOW" that really took me back to when I first learned how to make convertible tops. I've been making tops for over 50 years. "WOW" way to go there mate.

    There were times during this video that I was scared that it would be wore out by the time you put it together for the last time. Every step of the way was making sure each and every piece was exactly right so the end result was perfect. I wonder how the man who built the first top would feel, if he found out that the person that bought the first buggy just took the top off and threw it under a tree. Thanks Dave for the extra time you spend showing us all the details of building something that was a hundred or more years old. Thank you Diane for the editing that shows your husband at his best. Your editing ability is on top also. Stay safe my friend

Watching you go about your work with calmness and immense skill has given me more pleasure than I can remember for a long time. Your laid back presentation is just perfect for engaging with your viewers, it's no wonder your viewing figures are so high. Now I've watched 'em all I'm going to have to start watching them again.

      The Crimean Peninsula, north of the Black Sea in Eastern Europe, was annexed by the Russian Federation between February and March 2014 and since then has been administered as two Russian federal subjects-the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol. The annexation from Ukraine followed a Russian military intervention in Crimea that took place in the aftermath of the 2014 Ukrainian revolution and was part of wider unrest across southern and eastern Ukraine.
      Ukraine and many other countries condemned the annexation and consider it to be a violation of international law and Russian-signed agreements safeguarding the territorial integrity of Ukraine, including the 1991 Belavezha Accords that established the Commonwealth of Independent States, the 1975 Helsinki Accords, the 1994 Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances and the 1997 Treaty on friendship, cooperation and partnership between the Russian Federation and Ukraine. It led to the other members of the then G8 suspending Russia from the group then introducing a first round of sanctions against the country. The United Nations General Assembly also rejected the referendum and annexation, adopting a resolution affirming the "territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognised borders". The UN resolution also "underscores that the referendum having no validity, cannot form the basis for any alteration of the status of [Crimea]" and called upon all states and international organizations not to recognize or to imply the recognition of Russia's annexation. In 2016, the UN General Assembly reaffirmed non-recognition of the annexation and condemned "the temporary occupation of part of the territory of Ukraine-the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol"
