been there, done that, i can relate to the situation. its a real bummer, but you will survive because you are better/bigger than the problem rick

@paulsyarduk2045 3 месяца назад

We've all done it - I've been a cabinet maker for 30 years. Did exactly the same thing about 10 years ago. I hired a Luton van, took everything back to the spray shop still assembled, removed the backs and repainted it. Luton van again for the refit. Cost about 300 quid back then but saved so much time. Onwards and stay positive...remember, the man who makes no mistakes, does nothing! 👍

Now feels like a good moment to say - thank you for sharing all your knowledge, alongside the ups and the downs. Just finished up my first proper project (a plywood bench/shoe rack) and many of your videos were critical - to mention a couple, your video on finishing technique with the Osmo Polyx & your video on rounding off arrises. Thank you for sharing such an honest and informative behind-the-scenes look at the trade.

@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop 3 месяца назад

I would like to say a huge thank you for this, it really is kind of you!!!! I dont put these videos out for the money side, but to share the knowledge, but donations to help mprove the channel are massively appreciated, so thank you!! Oh wow, I am really happy that those vids have helped! I am a big fan of Birch ply with Osmo oil finishes, so its good to hear of someone making something with it :-) Stay tuned for the next 4 parts of this series (I dont want to give too much away ) Thank you once again. Ryan :-)

@davidhackett5251 3 месяца назад

I know its to late now, but was there no way you could have resprayed once installed. Time wise it would have been quicker. Yes the masking of the house would be two days work but overall time saving. Just curious if you considered..

@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop 3 месяца назад

I guess it wasn't impossible but when you spray with an arlirless sprayer, they are a bit of an animal, very easy to pool and get runs. I think technically it would have been possible but very very hard with the equipment I have 😊

So sorry for your paint problem, as self employed we have to take our problems on the chin and move on. l fitted for an upmarket fitted furniture company, we were fitting a 50k kitchen for the actress Joan Collins she was so excited when the lorry arrived she went outside as it was unloaded, she had a wobbly when she saw the Maple kitchen …. she ordered an Oak kitchen, the whole thing was re-made.

@valentinointeriors3023 3 месяца назад

Sorry to see this but this kind of thing is happening sometimes. This shows that we are all human and make mistakes. Is important to keep the customer satisfied. I’m sure that they will understand. Do you have any RAL codes for the paint as they look great. Thanks

@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop 3 месяца назад

Hi Thank you, yes exactly, we are all human and do make mistakes. Shame it was such a big one hahaha. The codes are (both dulux colours) Dulux code 20BB 08/051. Dulux code 90BG 31/124. I got them mixed in a 1k paint from Amicus Uk in Park royal, london. If you buy use code TLC5 for 5% discount :-) on their website Cheers Ryan

Could have been a whole lot worse. Imagine if customer had been away, and mistake only noticed when you’d fully installed. Chin up.

@ColinFox-sn1vz 3 месяца назад

So Sorry to hear your bad news. Comes under the unfortunate heading of "sh*t happens"! I've always judged suppliers on how they perform when things go wrong and the way they go about putting things right. Sometimes a clients reference to "what they did to put things right" is the best form of reference. Good luck with the corrective works. Looking forward to the "what we did next" footage.

@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop 3 месяца назад

done mistakes before - BUT not selfemploted so no impact financially, At least you found out early in the job , also you dont glue the thing together , and noone was injured or died , really good of you to do the youtube on the mistake and how honest and upfront of you. We are human and make mistakes , its how a company deals with most mistakes , I say this to all the trades who have done work for me. We had kitchen done and part of the Job was replacing and replastering the ceiling - a dropped celiing with Oak beams Just decoration , BUT he said the ceiling was fine and just needed a fre more screws in and then could be plastered. he arranged for a plasterer to come on a Sunday to keep the job going. the guy covered everything - put the first load up and the ceiling fell down. The plasterer thenarranged for his dad a retired (he was only 55) to come out the next day monday , put a new ceiling in and plaster - it was an excellent job , and i would recommend and do - as it was about how they resolved the issue, I never have a probelm if a mistake is made , so long as its resolved positively, as I say we are all human and mistakes are made. One thing I like about Rag n bone brown videos is the mistakes he makes and hes honesty and how he goes about fixing - So thanks you for showing this , good luck with the respray and refit

Unfortunately, the designer had it all planned, the whole downstairs of the house, colour schemes, designs, wall colours, flooring etc, so I didnt ask. It would have been great but im sure it would have been a no :-(
