    Is it just me that is shocked that Sara Drew is just working from home on her dining table? No wonder she is having to dust down the painting before varnishing. I was also shocked at how she was using a bulky multi-tool to seperate the canvas from the lining. Surely this needs to be done in a dust-free studio with professional tooks and equipment?

    At 4:50 it is mentioned that the original painting doesn't reach the edges of the stretcher so fill in is used anout 1/4 inch all the way around the painting. I think it's rather bold to use fill in all the way around the original painting to make it fit a stretcher. You're basically making creative desicions and not conserving the artists original work at that point. It seems likely that the stretcher is not original to the painting if this was a necessary step.

      It doesn't happened in such a poor environment. By analyzing the video, you can clearly see the quality and expensiveness of the tool they use, also the reduce space they are working in: they don't deal with million dollar piece of art there. Maybe a 100 thousands at most.

      on that first painting it looks like there was a previous strip lining that she removed before taking the painting off the stretcher, rather than removing it after. Shes not cutting anything, you can see where the knife hasn't gotten to yet that the painting canvas and the canvas wrapped around the stretcher are not the same piece. it did scare me at first as well

    I enjoy watching as you bring back into focus the artists techniques, styles etc etc. This is a non judgemental or critique of how or what you do, rather where you perform the work, is this a working studio all be it large and well appointed or a residence equally well appointed, if so should there be caution regarding the stuff that's released when re stretching a work, the multitude of foreign material not native to wood, canvases or color medium do not make good house guests nor bed fellows, assumption like most NYC people you eat out.

    While I too am a huge fan of Baum Gartner Restorations, I think people are being too harsh on her. She may not have the budget or space to use so what Julian does. As for why the client doesn't just use someone like Julian, they may not have the money for it. Waiting for that money that may never be available, just may just leave it to rot.

    The audio quality of the 2nd restoration is not great. There’s an echoing of the restorers voice-over. I’d suggest you review and do some work on the audio quality so it reflects the same quality of work as the subject matter.
