Well done, Alex! I Just love to watch you work. Each twist and turn, I am always learning from you. 😄. Thank you so much and big hug from Susana aka Binsnbobs, Portugal ✌
Thanks Alex for investing you’re time in educating you’re subscribers, amazing and yet quite simplistic restoration techniques that bring these pieces back to life 🪚🔨🪛🛠
Wonderful episode, but would echo other comments on the volume issue. Please try to sort out the microphone problem. Very difficult to hear what you're saying. But, keep at it, the channel will be a winner for you.
@@alexwebsterrestoration1058 +1 for mics. I watch on iPad and it’s very quiet, and quieter still when you turn away from the camera. Loving the content and energy though, keep it up! 😀👍
Hi, guys, sorry, english is not my first language, what is he using when hes cleaning the marble? I dont understand what liquid hes using? Car T Cut? Is that correct?
Hi, I am from Hong Kong. Would be much appreciated if U could provide link of the wax you use , in particular colored wax, of where I can buy them. Tks . Also, getting the EXACT color in wood restoration is very difficult to me. Glad if U can share a video on this.
@@alexwebsterrestoration1058 I was thinking oak might be a challenge due to ship building requirements during the days of Empire. Be interesting to find out one day. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday
Your initial volume was weak, but it got better. You said these were built for looks but they don't sound very sturdy, which seems so different from many other pieces. Were they built in place then? Oops okay when you moved over to describe the collar, the volume took a hit and I had to turn it way up! Even when you stopped working on the collar and you were speaking of fixing cracks it got worse, where is your mic? It should be on you somewhere. Definitely the mic location. I'm looking at the cleaning you have to do! My gosh, elbow grease galore! It is nice but I'm not a marble guy! Great job Alex I am so looking forward to more!
Thanks Kerry. No there were not built in place, and they would be solid, but after 200 years they show it. Yeah we are struggling with the sound but I think we'll have ot sorted soon. Thanks for watching.
@@alexwebsterrestoration1058 I don't mind the sound but when your show ends I terrify the dog while I get it turned down again. 😂🤣 The only reason I mention structure was you didn't seem to feel they were that sturdy to start with, just me not totally understanding you.
Is/was it a common thing to use the sidewalk in front of the shop, next to the street to do work in GB? I´ve seen you doing it before and wondered; here in Germany you could get in trouble if you regularly would dust the streets like this, you have to hide in your backyard ;-) Greetings from Germany.
@@kingspicks In France here we use a mild (30%) acid solution to clean all marbles,( which are all thousands of years old by the way!) its an accepted restoration technique here, gets rid of dirt and stains, and the bottles of acid are freely available at all supermarkets next to the white spirit etc!!
Brilliant. Love seeing the before and after restoration. Um....😆
Haha um thank you
I think the volume needs turning up a bit,nice to see you back,missed you on Salvage Hunter.
Amazing! Great work!

Glad you're enjoying. Thanks for watching
Lol. I say Umm so many times in my videos that I cringe after posting them. I just can't help myself. My brain has hiccups all the time 🤣😂👍
Great job and good tips.
Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise and showing some amazing furniture.
I really enjoyed this! Thank you!
Love it !

What table? That looks like a coal fireplace front...
Hard to hear what youre saying Alex, sound is a bit too quiet. but loving the visual ! :D
Did you show the top of it and all round the sides ? Also would you list the products you use ? Thanks
Please invest in a remote microphone, I’m hard of hearing and I’d love to hear what you’re saying. 😊
Yes we will. Thanks for the imput. We are all a bit new to it but we'll get there. Hope you enjoy. Thanks. Alex

I think you do need a separate microphone because even with the audio cranked full up, it's hard to hear you. And we definitely want to hear you!

What a transformation - stunning piece. Do you get really nervous working on such valuable items or are you used to it now?
Thank you!
Very good and extremely interesting. Is pine the standard material for the frames or were some made from oak or elm?
Mainly pine but not exclusively. I've not seen enough of them to be an expert if I'm honest

We work outside most days for the fresh air. We always sweep up after ourselves. Thanks for watching from Germany!
Al, I wondered if a Flash Magic Eraser would have worked well cleaning the Marble up instead of TCut? 🤔
I've never used one Ben, but always learning so I'll give it a go.
Or a mild solution of hydrochloric acid first to clean it all, followed by a clear marble wax......

@@vancewhittall2810 Didn't work on La Grande Arche, Mate.
The sound is too weak :((
I know. We're gona work on it👍
Sound needs to be louder
I agree. We'll get there. Thanks for watching.
Sound levels need to be consistent between scenes.
Horrível cadê a restauração?
you have to work on the sound..... please
Yes we need to work on a few aspects of it... um haha
Da iawn ia
