he mentioned his sister and it made me think, is his entire family full of elegant vampires with extensive vocabularies as well or are they like the average person?
i have thought that it is utterly weird that your comment has two thousand and five hundred likes but there were no replies so here i am dropping this comment.
I generaly don't apreciate the LGBTQ+ mouvement because i can't relate with their view on morality but i absolutly love this guy. He is the most sensible "different" person i have ever heard.
“Certainly if you’ve been given a nose as large as mine, you should surely have a very acute sense of smell.” JOHN’S DRY HUMOR IS REALLY UP MY ALLEY! Hahahaha.
John finds a way to make literally anything fascinating. It’s not just his voice, he is obviously very intelligent and very knowledgeable. I guess thousands of years of immortality let’s you learn a lot of things
Question:Why people watch this channel? Answer: 1. This guy have a hypnotic voice and way of speaking things 2. He seems passionate about things that are nearly normal for everyday purpose
Being a Fine Art restorer (specialised in ceramic, though I can also work with glass and ivory), I find this video perfect, and I just love how you commented on the safety measures to follow because of the chemicals. That is an important piece of advice!
*In John's Voice* In today's fillum I will be consuming this yeast infused carb as to fulfill my daily requirements for nourishment. *Chews bread* Ah this bread goes down my throat quite seamlessly. I shall now consume some water to quench my thirst.
I literally do not know why I feel such a need to watch your films. I do not wear make up, nor am I lackering any furniture, yet I find you absolutely fascinating. You are my guilty pleasure, and if I use seamlessnes in a sentence I can not help but Smirk just a little.
You might just be the most interesting person I’ve seen on RU-vid. I love listening to you. Honestly you could be talking about anything at all and I would still be in awe.
When I was pregnant with my 10 year old, my grandfather gave me his mother's rocking chair and my dad completely refinished it in cherry to go with my daughter's crib. Later, I had also inherited my grandmother's mother's folding rocking chair from the early 1920s. She was only 4'11" and it was made for her, so it was little, but in only 5'1" so it's The perfect size. The fabric wasn't in good shape and one leg was broken in half, so I left it with my parents when I was moving between apartments and kind of forgot they even had it. That Christmas, they gave it back. My dad had restored all of the wood and fixed the break. You couldn't even tell after he refinished it all! My mother redid the upholstery. It was just beautiful. I thought it was in my storage unit with my other furniture so my mind was extra blown. I still have both.
I think antiques are more well made. Well atleast the ones I’ve admired and have owned. I’m glad you’re giving us variety. John you could put up a “filum” of anything and I am mesmerized by you. 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Do I ever go antiques shopping? No. Do I buy furniture? Not really. If I had bought old furniture would I lacquer it? Probably not. Do I want to learn or do I care about knowing how to lacquer? No way. Am I willing to listen to 20 minutes of John talking about furniture and how to lacquer just because his voice is heaven, and his pronunciation is everything that is right in this world, and I just think that whatever he says is crucial to my life? Hell yeahh!!!!
As a new viewer this is just about the last thing I'd ever expected to see on Mr. Maclean's channel, won't underestimate him again. When I first saw this title I thought it was about nail polish, now I'm more intrigued rather than just amused by him.He effected this change in outlook seamlessly,sorry I just had to say that.
2:50 definitely sounds like a vampires polite way of saying "Kids these centuries just don't appreciate craftsmanship like we did in the good ol' days!" but also, same
I once made a ball of wood with my grandpa and he encarved my lucky number in it. I remember lacquering it so thickly I almost passed out from the fumes xD. After I filed it down it looked so elegant I decided It would be what I pass on to my children. Filing a sphere so it looks smooth was hell on earth it took me 4 days to make it even, (I eventually ended up with an almost smooth paper to have the finest grain ^^). Today I'm 20, it was 7 years ago but I'm still so proud of myself, It was the first time in my life I showed so much patience and effort on something, trully changed my mind. :D
If he isn't the most gorgeous androgynous person I've ever seen in my entire life then I'm not turning lesbian or bi curious of whatever humdrum labeling you wanna come up with. Like, he seriously needs to start narrating books or the news just so I can hear his voice everyday or at least see that gorgeous face light up the daily news. I guess I will settle for youtube and stalking his IG 😍
I have no need for restoring old furniture just yet, however, I still find myself watching good ol’ John because the voice this person has is so bloody relaxing. I could literally listen to John speak about spoons for 3 hours and still love every minute
Ok John, you have such a fascinating and engaging persona that I really feel you could do an entire lifestyle series. People would be interested in anything that you do. I see talks on more of this -furniture, but also shopping with John, cooking with John, decorating, collecting, music, literally anything. Just sharing your unique and interesting world with a fan base that will continue to increase. I’m so glad to see you doing master classes, please consider expanding your range of topics, I see so many exciting possibilities for you. Our world needs your grace and sophistication now more than ever. Bless you.
Not sure if you'll see my comments John, but I'll ramble on anyway. I have the same style. Very much into more detailed, ornate, embellished, antique style things...not just furniture, but pretty much anything. I refurbished a TV cabinet that I bought last year, it's solid quality wood and the woman I bought it from considered herself a furniture restorer. She had spray painted it black and blue and had these god awful country style metal stars nailed to the cabinet doors. I patiently and lovingly sanded it down completely, laquered it, painted the doors and inside, and painted the center and corners of the doors using a beautiful medallion stencil. It looks completely different now. It was the first time I'd redone a piece of furniture and I absolutely loved it. It was definitely a labor of love and something I'm excited to do again.
He is a genius. He could come across easily as an Ice Queen but the self depreciating humor and his acceptance of his flaws and willingness to allow us to see them makes him seamless.
I absolutely love this. I think it is so amazing to showcase a loved hobby that is so very different from what you are most known for. I also love how absolutely left field it is.
Nicole Kennedy-Beaumont Incredibly sorry to hear of this issue for you.... maybe we could suggest some other filums for you until another is presented!...
Stacey Sabot lol😂 I'll be far too busy shopping to acquire everything that is required to lacquer my furniture so it is seamless, all whilst awaiting for John to upload part 2 of this fil'um and tutorial. But I do sincerely have a deep appreciation for your supportive concern. It has had a profound affect on my ability to deal with the emotions that often do come as a result of one's failures. Accepting ones shortcomings is a natural and necessary task in the growth of one's being. I bid to you a marvelous weekend and do take care xx
Thank you for this! I’m getting ready to restore an old family desk! I wasn’t sure if I wanted to paint, lacquer or varnish... this will help me to choose. 👍🏻
John: "I'd like to present you with this make-up look I did earlier..." Also John: "I'd like to present you with this furniture I lacquered earlier..." Also John again: "I'd ALSO like to present you with this small village I hand crafted earlier too..."
when you mentioned that lacquer is used on guitars it occurred to me how marvelous a video of you restoring old instruments would be... may I submit this as a suggestion for a future film?
John, you have no idea how much it meant to me to hear you talk about enjoying being productive and sharing that you have productive hobbies. It's truly inspiring.
I'm absolutely in love with this juxtaposition. In addition to looking like an ethereal pixie, I, too, enjoy similar reno projects. Particularly old lead window glazing and restoring their frames
