I like the fact that you show the broken bell projects. It's a good way to show people that not everything always goes to plan as it seems in the video, but that you have to take the time to be creative and think your methods through to get the best result. Patience and determination.

Your talent in recreating the missing parts using the remaining ones as templates is truly amazing. Where as many restorers farm out that portion of the work to suppliers, you take up the challenge and make them yourself, even when it takes a few attempts. And you're also willing to exhibit the not so successful tries. That is the mark of a confident craftsman.😃👍

I love how you restore as many of the original parts as possible in these projects instead of just replacing them essentially creating a completely different thing

you're positively insane for polishing and Nickle-plating every single one of those nails, my guy. This is incredible.

I'll always be the first to say I'm nowhere even close to being an expert and I could put together a video of equal length to the final product showing all the failures along the way to finally getting things right.

This is why I love this channel, so much of the original is still there! Most channels I watch would have thrown away most of the metal work and used new ones, but saving all of it here was just brilliant.

REALLY cool techniques used in this vid. The way the brass bells were made was amazing, and that table-saw lathe solution was awesome.

I just watched this with my 6 year old. We are both super impressed! Especially when I showed him all the attempts at the brass bells. Such a great lesson in perseverance. Keep the good work up!

As an antique collector it only makes me appreciate them more because of the time they put into making them. Fantastic work!!

Bagatelle is a cue game where two teams, of one or more per side, try to pot balls played from the end of the table into one distinct cup each. A smaller version of the game called table bagatelle, which, you see here was invented because it uses significantly less space. Initially table bagatelle used a regular cue and then later a captive cue that you probably recognize as a plunger. In essence bagatelle is the ancestor to modern pinball. If you go to the right pub in Britain you can still find a bagatelle league playing on a full size table.
