Reviving the lost art of bespoke globe-making in London | Remarkable Living 

Thanks Pierre! A book in the works to go into more detail for those who are interested. Keep up with us @globemakers on social media to learn more / updates in the future.

You need to learn to make your own globe,lolol.

Thanks Sonia!

More videos over on our page, glad you like what we are doing!

Eat the rich

Yeah i could tell this guy is a wanker lmao, Silly price for something like this which really doesnt look all that hard to make.

@@dorrisgonnawreckyou7111 smh

I thought the same thing.

This is how I view woodworking... Wife: I want to buy this bookshelf Me: Psh, I could make that for cheaper and better Wife: ... Me (6 months later and 2-3x the cost): See I told you I could do it better.

I understand it in a way. I could go to a dispensary to buy my weed, but I spend more to grow it myself because hobbies/passion have no cost other than not pursuing them.

Presumably a loan to start the business

thefactorypilot145 I do things can escalate and then you see a business opportunity and away you go worrying all the way at the back of your mind will it work out will i fail and he succeeded brilliant.

I've been rich. You never earn more money than you can spend cos there is ALWAYS someone out there making a yet pore pointlessly expensive whatever... I now live in £600 a month here in Bulgaria and my life is not appreciably different. I just write with a 25p pencil not a £5000 mechanical pencil, I eat with stainless steel knife and fork that work perfectly well instead of silver, I look at a quartz desk clock not a £15k Jaeger-LeCoultre desc clock. Anyway, as a Yorkshireman myself, Im more at home being poor than rich LOL

Truly beautiful

Beauty

Then sell them for tens of thousands of pounds for just the small ones lmfao, yeah thank god for people like this, otherwise what would the insanely rich do with their money? poor folk.

Thanks Tim, glad you spotted it! Good luck on the next phase of your journey - woodwork is a glorious thing to get into.

Only the mega rich are welcome here, hes a man of the people XD lmao

Haha! And acquiring largely lost skills, while employing others who are also acquiring such precious skills, and earning income as well!

and likely creating a business where it is valued at over 1 million....just by counting the employees....and valuations usually based on 7 years...

Then selling them for 89,000£ or 120,000$ for the "large" one. lmao

@@motherlandbot6837 Precious skills ? Dude you saw the process yourself lmao, he is printing globe shapes and sticking them to balls lmao! sure it might take a few go's but i am sure anyone could get the hang of that fairly soon, then someone paints a bit.. ok not exactly a lost skill, then some minor woodwork for the bases.. WOOOOOW such amazing lost talents he has brought back lmao. Bullllshit, dude is way overpricing these things because he knows the market for them is entirely rich people and he lives in london and comes from a super rich family (dad was a fkin naval architect lmao).

Kind of you to say, thanks Bianca. We enjoy doing gifts like that as customers work with us to tell stories of their favourite travels and family migration - incorporating all that history and memories on to the map and truly making it one of a kind and a family heirloom.

@@Globemakers yeah when my dad turns 60 I'll be calling you guys up

Yeah otherwise what would the mega rich elites of society do with their money? Poor folk. His large globe at 5 min mark is on his website for 89,000£ lmao! or 120,000$ ... yeah thank god he is doing this.

He saw that globes cost an insane 20,000 at an auction, so he decided to make his own globes... for guesse what... about 20,000£ each lmao! what a man of the people this guy is. The big one at about 5min mark is 89,000£ on his site, or 120,000$. lol guys a bellend.

Muchas gracias, me alegro de que te guste lo que estamos haciendo.

I know it was amazing i wanted more like you ahh well.

From their website: durable plaster, resins, grp (the materials for the globes themselves; wood, brass, etc. are for the stand). I'm assuming the resins are inorganic. Grp = fiber reinforced plastics. Their website has videos showing how the globes are made. My links get deleted here, do a search for Bellerby and Co. Globemakers.

The small globes have a plaster body. Larger globes are made from "composite materials", which might mean plaster with a resin shell or support. The globes are all very heavy for their size, so they aren't hollow fiberglass or resin spheres.

Something that does not justify the fact he is charging 89,000£ or 120,000$ for the fairly large one at about the 5min mark.

Someone asked recently but has not purchased formally and need to look into the copyright laws etc before. We do fictional planets though / anything a customer dreams up we can make.

Yeah, and?

@@ats-3693 A bag of chips.

Thank you

No problem just send the guy about 50,000$ and you are good. Aslong as you are happy with two fairly small ones that is.

@@dorrisgonnawreckyou7111 Heh definitely not your $40 made in China globe, that's for sure.

Big one is on his website for 89,000£ lmao! the people buying these are the mega rich elites.

the big one at about 5 min mark is 89,000 £ or about 120,000$ on his website lmao! this is for the elite of society clearly, not suprising when his dad was a naval architect lol!

@@dorrisgonnawreckyou7111 Our globes start at £1,199 - and each is handcrafted and hand painted and one of a kind so it's not a quick mass produced or off the shelf product. We make everything in London and pay our talented artists properly. So pricing won't be the same as something factory produced. Peter had no help from his father to start his company and worked his way up through previous jobs. He did not start Globe-making til he was in his 40's -

Then sells the globes for way more than 20,000 each... nice guy for sure.

@@dorrisgonnawreckyou7111 But the globes are "Bespoke"!!!!!

Flat Earthers... Infecting comment threads all around the globe.

Hi Ian, there are more videos on our page in more detail or head over to our website - Bellerby & Co - we handcrafted many bases in various woods and metals and undertake one-off commissions of all kinds.

Ya, bullshit. If it did cost that his naval architect daddy for sure fronted the cash lmao. Yknow the big globe.. the one at about 5min mark, selling for 89,000£ or 120,000$ on his site.. insane! Guy saw them selling for 20,000 in an auction and decided to sell them for even more, wow what a humble guy.

he's a flat earther, as a result.

@@actontreadway1168 hahahaha, That's a good one.

Hopefully not so well so he can lower the price from 20,000 per small desk globe to something more sensible.

Yes, but the paper on which the map is printed is flat.

@TheGreatChrisB just to add to Khanh Nguyen's points, our Earth isn't round; it's an oblate sheroid, slightly compressed at the poles, and widest at the Equator. www.scientificamerican.com/article/earth-is-not-round/

Yeah, seems we are the only ones who see through this guy everyone else is amazed that this legend is bringing back lost skills and crafts, like sticking paper to globes and the mythical "painting" or "minor woodwork".. amazing stuff! Maybe they dont realise the insane prices he is charging?

Not to scale

Well played Peter, well played.

Flat earther?

@@dorrisgonnawreckyou7111 no.

No, because that would be silly.

So, it matches your head. Being a flat plane and all.

@@dadillen5902 You mean fat, plain, and all.

@@herculesrockefeller8969 I'll have leave the visual aspect to you, but if you see it as fat and plain. Who am I to disparage your opinion.

Only if you're wilfully ignorant.

You playing or actually that dumb?

What about the Easter bunny

@@TheOnlyRealAlf You have just proven not all humans have evolved. Great way to make a point. Play the idiot.

@@TheOnlyRealAlf There is a vast difference between a theory and an opinion. Both intellectually and structurally. It is the truest form of ignorant not to know that different. Dressing religious dogmatism in scientific sounding words does not change the fact that it is religious dogmatism.

@@TheOnlyRealAlf You have no Qualifications to judge. Or perhaps you have a Doctorate in anthropology? Ignorance is curable through education, stupid is however is most often genetic and usually incurable. Nature however has historically limited stupid though early death. Governments and religions on the other hand prefer the stupid. They are more easily controlled. Just my OPINION. 😉😬

Oh by the way 'made up nonsense' speaks volumes for your neutrality. 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

_"Seek truth, Gain wisdom."_ Why is it so often those who possess neither of those attributes who post such nonsense?

Nah bro, YOU gain wisdom lol, ya really need it trust me.

Must troll harder.
