Drew's determination to go out again and again in the search for the elusive pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, is a feeling I understand all too well. Afterall, you don't know, unless you go.
I really love the "after" shots of the thing you bring back. Would you consider doing a more deliberate form? Perhaps a before and after segment to demonstrate more directly the things you see in the pieces before they are brought out by the restoration. Side by side might work well on some of them, even from more than one angle.
First timer here. Was drawn in by the title. When they said Bakelite, I was like hell no; I was getting ready to turn it off. Then driver says "look at that dog-look at its face." That brought me back. lol
To excuse all the forgotten dead flies, he calls them 17th century flies. Cute. I wish I could be hired to clear, sell and organize storage rooms for those old mansions. That would be such a learning experience.
well I wish the American Pickers show was half this good...Drew looked somehow familiar, when I froze the frame at a profile I realized he looks just like Jimmy Somerville
I've been a collector for years and one of the most things to deal with is a private collector that you sense don't want really to sell anything, They often will get offended just asking them about something that they adamantly would never part with. I find it easier to pay a reasonable price to a seller/dealer than haggle with a private collector.
@@starquant Yes, I've been there. When you want to sell your items to someone quickly, and get quick cash. it's like leaving it at a pawn shop. You get a significantly lesser value. To get top retail value, you have to very patient , advertise, and deal with phone calls and appointments, sell at a market, or a booth at an antique shop. It's not easy.
That last house, there's more to the cellar than that, the normally occupy the footprint of the house. And you never have a window in a wine cellar, that's a mezzanine leading to the cellar.
The big cast iron door hinges Love them My husband can repair cast iron. we've had many of these beautiful antique in for repair. I'm amazed how he gets them back into their original state
@@sanjamslm - . . .but, the software calculates that. I had a YT channel - and I never uploaded anything twice or put up the number of hours it's been online. I don't use my old channel, but it's still up and it occasionally sends me an update on new subs . There is no where in the software for the creator to indicate the age of the video. The dates are generated by the software - automatically.
If he came into my place and acted like that, I would have him back outside within moments. I'm not going to discount my items so he can then re sell at a bigger profit. I didn't collect it so HE could profit on it!
This Yankee is tired of watching some of these Brits waste Drew's time. But Drew is a bit pretentious when it comes to his "humor", cliched. Just show me the stuff and shut up.
