When you restore a piece. It doesn’t mean you make it look like new. You keep its story, each mark is part of its history. You restore its purpose whilst making it look like it’s always been loved & cared for. #restoration #antiques #restore #workshop

1950s England, where the common man engaged in the type of impressive, quaint hobbies that made the country something to be proud of.

Today I ordered Veneer to top up my existing stock. I always try to keep a varied stock & it bought back a memory of repairing a set of Epstein cloud dining chairs c 1930’s. They were in poor condition, I was pleased with how the restoration went. #restoration #antique #workshop

Hello guys. I hope you’re all doing well? An update on myself. I’ve been quite unwell with what’s based around low cortisol. Absolutely floored me & kept doing so. But today I ventured into my workshop & tomorrow I’m meeting a couple of mates for a coffee. Things are improving.

Mexico and Japan are staying in the same hotel during the U-17 World Cup and this is how the Japanese players received Mexico after their first victory in the tournament. 🇲🇽🤝🏼🇯🇵 This is what football is all about. ❤️⚽️👏🏼

Goodness me that was poor. So slow, no ball control, no movement, awful passing. I’d say we don’t look fit? Or maybe that’s the Zero confidence draining them. 😵‍💫 cmon Derby. Wake up lads. @dcfcofficial

Thankfully my health is starting to improve. But I’m still a few weeks away from being anywhere fit enough to start back. But……I may start to spend a bit of time in the workshop with a Cuppa, Radio on & a book. 🤔 I miss it 😵‍💫 #restoration #workshop #antique #interiors

Pedestal desk completed. Now for some time out to get my health sorted. Thankfully the client is pleased with the results, as that’s taken a lot out of me to restore 😵‍💫 #health #restoration #workshop #antiques

What a fantastic show. The models & the camerawork were incredible. Such great memories & im now wondering where I can find a few episodes to watch online? 🤔
It's 60 years since Thunderbirds first aired on British television, and what better way to start celebrating six decades of International Rescue than by celebrating the show's co-creators Gerry and Sylvia Anderson? Both combined their talents to bring so much to all aspects of Thunderbirds, from its initial concept to each completed episode, and created a very special series in the process - as did the incredible team they assembled!

Has anyone purchased an Air Purifier/ioniser fan similar to this? To improve the air quality etc? I did. As I work in a dusty environment & get a fair amount of chest infections. I thought it would help. It’s done the opposite.

I had “the call” from the wife of a mate who I’ve known 40 yrs 🥺 He passed away a few days ago surrounded by his family. For the last few yrs, we’ve phoned & txt with the intention of meeting for a beer.

We never did & now we never will. That’s the 2nd this yr. 😡 I’m so angry with myself & him. We thought we had time. Nope. Time ran out. Call them. See them & laugh with them. #loss #death #time
