Thanks :-)
I can’t figure out what was my favourite part: the restoration itself or the woodworking skills 🤩 awesome result and video 🤗
It nice seeing another restoration channel watching a restoration vid
(Also I love your vids!❤️)
Personally speaking, the woodworking for sure,
The Wheel barrow restoration and seeing just how much of the original timber they salvage is what sold me on the channel!

Yeah he didn't need to flex on us that hard lol
Magnifique.....et le summum c'est la beauté des mains du père qui portent sur elles toute une vie de passion du travail manuel.....je revois les mains de mon père avec sa gouge et son maillet quand j'étais petit !!! Ça me boulverse !!!! Bravo pour ce travail magnifique !!!!
Merci Corentin !
I absolute love it when you take so much care in details like screw slots looking in the same direction. And of course the final check by Avril is a must have 😉❤️👏🏻
Right?!? It’s the details I love, but Avril steals the show!!
Screw slots aligned is known as "dressing".
I started following because of the screws. Satisfies the OCD I wish I had.

Thanks for this information. It's not my mother tongue, but I'm still learning new words.
@@chefhearn Yes, Avril steals the show. But it's always lovely to see that he is checking everything.

The cat is adorable
You’re a god. Thank you for this.
Idk why but ive been reading your cats name as anvil
I especially love 6:23 typical awesome cat mentality. "Trying to accomplish something? Well you haven't paid any attention to me in like 3 whole minutes" lol I love shop kitty Avril
I've always wanted to do things like this, my whole life. I never knew how to get started. I love creating things with my own hands. This is heaven to me
Don't think, do it)
Just buy something old and rusty and let 'er rip. Start with a rusty hammer for example, something simple. Then de-rust that bitch and make it sexy again
You can totally do it!
It's just like sex - the only way to learn it is to do it!
Thanks to watching this channel I've restored 3 wheelbarrows, in the middle of a 4th (weather permitting) and have a 5th one that is from the 50's or 60's that I will eventually get to (barn find). Also I've restored several tools including a hammer that was buried in sand for at least 20 years, 2 other hammers (bit rusty), several old Craftsman wrenches, and a socket that was left in the field (I live on a farm). Just find something that needs repairing and start working on it, you will love the results once you are done.
The craftsmanship on this is absolutely gorgeous. I applaud your skill sir!
L'inspectrice des travaux finis est superbe ! Elle a l'air très câline.
Bravo pour cette restauration.
This guy in my opinion makes the best restoration videos. His focus on every individual part shows incredible discipline and patience
It turn out great! Outstanding craftsmanship!
I love the way you reuse everything! All the old pieces of the lamp, an "old" piece of wood. And those amazing skills. And of course, Avril for president!
One of my favorite pieces that yall have restored..I've watched it several times and have enjoyed it...thanks for restoring and not just tossing aside.
A wonderful restoration, as always! It was very clever to use the hose as a replacement for the broken plastic ring around the lamp shade! **leaves a can of sardines for Avril**
Goodness!! When watching this one cannot help but be impressed with your various skills to be able to restore this lamp. I have been watching another series where explorers go into abandoned homes in which all the furniture is rotting away. Watching your series highlights the criminality of these losses.
I am very impressed with how the original paint on this lamp protected it from rust and decay. I am glad you used the original colour.
Comme d habitude vous faites des petites merveilles!.quel savoir faire! merci du partage.

Amazing restoration. I love the lamp base you made with the old gauges, that was very clever. Fantastic job.
It's maybe weird, but the rain on the roof made me like this video even more. For me it gave it even more of a therapeutic vibe to the video. ☺😊❤
The old guy is best… Much more calm and relaxing than the others. Respect…
the joy of restoring something like this is - ornate/ beautifully designed, made to last and well functioning feels so good!
You are absolutely amazing in your wood working abilities. Thank you for being an inspiration fie me to start my wood working back up
Sir you really showed off your craftsmanship and tastefulness on this one , that base was amazingly designed and came out so well
A thing of beauty is a joy forever, so said Mary Poppins, and she wasn't wrong. Absolutely stunning result.
Wishing LADB Restoration and Avril (of course!) une très bonne année! All the very best for 2022 🐱🐈
From me on the Somerset coast, England, UK
I enjoy everything you do in your videos you are very good at restoring your projects more videos please
I’ve been watching a lot if your videos lately. Not only are they enjoyable but informative too. Your woodworking skills are impeccable it’s great to see someone who can do stuff without the aid of new technology but seems just as at home with or without it. A real joy to watch.
I love how this is one of the rare channels that restore AND keep the original!
Always a pleasure to watch a master craftsman at work.
Quel travail ! Quelle connaissance et précision ! Vidéo du début jusqu'à la fin passionnante. Merci et Bravo
Avril is looking extra fluffy, must be cold there? Awesome job! Amazing skills and craftsmanship. Love the character you put into the base with the butterfly joint. A real work of art, sir!
The original designer needs credit for a design that keeps the wires hidden but not in such a way to where the wires would be getting damaged at the joints when moved, it was genius.
Love the restoration, and the base you produced. From the base top repairing, the meters you put on it, to making the exposed new wires looking like they were old cloth covered wires was brilliantly done. I've removed wiring from an old out building we repaired, removing the old fixtures and outlets (American 2 prong ones, no ground wires), and that is exactly how the old cloth covered wires from the 50's looked. Wonderfully done.
Fantastic job 👏 👍. Watching 👀 is so relaxing, enjoyable, and therapeutic for me. The attention to detail, and being a perfectionist makes it worth watching 👀 👌. And Avril the cat 🐈 of course.
This was absolutely awesome craftsmanship. Great video. Thanks
Exceptional results! The painstaking efforts for the wooden base were well worth it. And….. always great to see Avril on hand to help.
I watch you mostly because of your talent and partly because you teach me patience. Thank you.
Greetings from Naples Florida. Great video and great restoration. I am a new subscriber and so far I have watched about 12 of your videos, your work is very thorough and I see that you are also a perfectionist. Actually the both of you are very perfectionist, I’m guessing you are a father and son team. I can’t wait to watch more of your videos in the morning. I used to do the same type of work when I was younger but my back now limits me to what I can do. Watching your videos satisfies me since I no longer do it myself. I actually cure meats and make salami’s when I feel ok. Thank you for sharing and God Bless you guys.
I also noticed two sets of hands and figured it was a father and son team. Amazing craftsmanship! 1st class job!
One of the best restorations I have ever seen on TH-cam!!!
Awesome job on the lamp!
I am always in awe of your craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Superbe réalisation, agréable à regarder, un vrai moment de détente et c'est très appréciable de voir quelqu'un de consciencieux et d'appliqué pour un super résultat :) Bravo !
Beautiful Job! The lamp's design and build give credence to the old expression: "The French don't imitate anyone, and no one imitates the French."
truly a restoration , love the bowtie in the "old " wood....love the cat too...well done ,wonderful to see this one.
Wow that lamp looks amazing!!!!
I love this resto. Gorgeous!
The rain on the roof is a great bonus. You could do a great sleep sounds audio with dark screen!🤗
Absolutely incredible. Love the volt and ampere meter touch.
Just beautiful work all around. You Sir are a Master Craftsman.
This was realy awsome! I realy love the idea with those old meters and Your attention to deails as the screws, the fabric cover on the wires, etc The woodworking came out realy beautiful as well!
Loved watching this with the rain in the background. Very relaxing
Grandmother of Pixar logo! Lol. Nice work, beautiful restoration!!!
I love watching you guys restore items, but there is just something special in watching you work with wood. Your skills are bar none, the best I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. Or even in person for that matter. Lol. Thanks as always for the great content!
Really nice job on the restoration and to see how this light was constructed. Thanks!
A wonderful job, most of all I liked the stick that turned on the lamp.😊
Amazing transformation. Not just the lamp, the wooden stand is a piece of art. Great idea and well done.
What a beauty of a lamp and a very good job to make the base, without a doubt a true gem.
It looks stunning!!! what an excellent job there!
Loved this one! Great to see a bit of woodworking and creativity beyond just the restoration. Volt and Ammeters were a very cool touch!
OMG, what an amazing lamp! 😱 This is not only a restoration, you made a unique piece of art out of it! I love it! 😍
Another remarkable restoration job! I know these take a long time to do--thank you so much for sharing them with us!
Stunning attention to detail, another masterpiece 👍
I like your humor. Touching the screw to demonstrate that 24V system is safe, yet you use a long stick to turn on/off the lamp. Beautiful lamp. It deserves to be safe. Beautiful restoration.
Rain, sandblasting and Avril in the sink...pretty much the perfect restoration video. Not to mention that absolutely artisanal base crafting.
Excellent work. Not only an interesting lamp but now it's a work of art. Well done.
Pardon me for the late comment, but wow! I am simply awestruck at the creativity of this restoration. I was already thrilled that you chose to go with a shade of green close to the original - it seems to complement the design of the lamp itself so well. But then, to be treated to the creation of the base/pedestal? Truly a delight. What excellent craftsmanship in all respects.
Ce qui m'impressionne le plus de vos vidéos c'est votre dextérité et le geste précis de vos mains.
This is without doubt THE best engineered lamp I've ever seen
Especially those joints, keeping connectivity without damaging the wires every time the lamp is adjusted to a different angle.
Beautiful work. That turned out excellent. Love the wood base.
Jielde lamps are lovely... such a triumph of design. Great to see this work. You can still get them new, but they are so serviceable and (in my opinion) gain character through wear and age.
I love how this isn’t even a rain specific asmr video, but it’s by far one of the best rain asmr vids I’ve seen in ages! The lamp looks truly amazing. These vids always put my soul to ease
Ich bin begeistert!!!! So etwas aus dieser ohnehin schon Tollen Lampe zu bauen. Wahnsinn!!!!
Unbezahlbar.
I think Avril is trying to be the project control manager! Love watching you work.
Loved the restoration with the stand and the indicators, truly a work of art that elevates the final result. Congrats !!!
Magníficos trabajos, excelentes restauraciones. Veo muchos videos de restauración, pero pocos llegan a tu nivel. Un saludo desde España
Great project to round out the year; Averil was extra helpful this time. Wishing you and Averil a Happy New Year and many more projects to come.
Now I see why you do impeccable work, Avril keeps you iron the straight and narrow with frequent inspections😊
Thanks for the video, nice looking finish product.
Literally going above and beyond with all this, it's amazing.
That is a very unique lamp! I didn't understand what the purpose of the 2 voltage meters was for. Which is ok. I'm not an electrician. You did an excellent job putting the lamp back together. I was happy to see that the paint came off the label. It's just a little detail but it makes the restoration perfect. Avril was watching you very close on this job. Maybe he thinks he can sleep under the light for warmth.
my guess is that it serves no real purpose. i suppose you can confirm the voltage at the line, but it's not so useful to carry around with you. probably just for show
@@briangoldberg4439 I agree--a design element that underscores the fact that the lamp was originally meant for workshops.
Bravo Maestro. What a wonderful work. Would I see such a lamp in a store I´d buy it immediately. Thanks for sharing. More of it please
Masterful right down to the removal of the mold parting lines. Well done!
Thank you for all the video you do they help me know how to repair ancient thing ang I think it's really satisfying to see how it was damaged and at the end its all clean it work perfectly and all thank you again
Quelle réalisation magnifique! Vous êtes un vrai artisan. Mes respects.
WOW, ''beautiful.'' What a huge undertaking to bring that lamp back to it's glory. I can suspect that chewed the bulk of a solid month providing long days were accompanied....loving time in the shop.
This was super cool! It made me laugh when you turned it on with the long wooden bar! 😆
Really nice work. Although i would have thought two times whether re-painting the outside of the lamp was a good idea. Actually the old green paint had a nice patina.
Another thing is that some old lamps can be highly valuable and re-painting such one could destroy it.
Wow, a showpiece, master engineering, salute to your work, so satisfying
Beautiful restoration, Congratulations. What dilapidation you put in your work. I have seen almost all your videos. I find them very inspirational. Thanks from Valencia - España.
Best still to come ....
Beautiful, wood work, electrical and mechanical
Enjoyed as always..
Thank you
stunning job! I couldn't work out where you were going with the woodwork at first. Also I love the retro fabric insulation
You improved the original product by filing off the seams from the mold, you do beautiful work
I guess at the end you were 'board' with it. :D Very good restoration and craftsmanship! love the results!
Awesome work! it definitely need rewiring, but I prefer the original painting.
I think the original painting is part of the history~
That's fantastic! Great creativity and excellent skills 👉👉👉, with an awesome result! Well done dude. 😎
great job on 1️⃣9️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ iconic French lamp restoration ladb restoration 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
The restoration and the woodwork were Absolutely brilliant. Great idea , I love it .
OMG! Hello from Russia! When you fix cast marks i feel sort of satisfaction. Keep doing what you doing!
Now that's a cool lamp, great quality and very unique.
So satisfying! That’s more of an objet d’art than an angle poise lamp. A unique piece made all the more interesting with Avril giving it the final inspection. Nothing escapes Avril’s gaze. Best wishes for the New Year! From Ireland du Nord.
Fantastic restoration !!!!!!!!!!!!! Two thumbs way Up !!!!!!!!!!!!
Monsieur, c est votre chef d oeuvre! Felicitations!
Bravo ! encore une magnifique vidéo de votre savoir faire. Le savoir faire à la française qui fait tellement de bien de nos jours. Merci d'un Malouin exilé en Suisse.
Absolutely best video I've seen on TH-cam for ages so mesmerising watching the way you work with wood beautiful couldn't take my eyes off well done 👍👍👍
I really like your work !!! I took many live hacks for myself👍👍👍
*“The noise you hear is the rain on the roof.”*
Saying that just made this restoration so much better.
Impressionné 😀.
Quel travail et superbe maîtrise du bois.
Le résultat est époustouflant.
