I use my "Before/After" photos to show the kinds of work I've done in 2022. These photos represent a little less than half of the repairs I did in 2022.
Very enjoyable video. I've recently discovered your channel and have been binge watching. I find the detail mesmerizing. You're so talented. I'm a bit of a potter and have a collection of pieces I can't bear to throw away and have been meaning to learn how to repair. I'm curious about Kintsugi and would love to see a video of the process and supplies you use. It's nice to know you've done such repairs and I plan to be in touch. I think many don't realize repairs are even possible and therefore toss broken objects. I'm sharing your existence with everyone I know!
Hi Martin has also educational videos, where he also shows his tools and materials. Also you can find a list with links to the materials he uses in description to his videos.
I covet your talent. Are you self taught? And may I ask which model of airbrush you use? I was overwhelmed at the choices on their website. Thank you again for such wonderful instruction and kindness.
Thanks. ...and you are welcome! Yes, I'm pretty much self taught. I worked for a restorer (Venerable Classics) for 5 years, but I already had most of the skills I needed. They helped me focus them in context with restoration. I use several airbrushes, most of them Iwata brand. The main one I use, and the one you see me using in my videos is the HP-CH HK model. Though any good brand of airbrush will serve you well.
I don’t know what fascinated me most, your talent or how dear some of these pieces are to people that they want them restored. Are the functional pieces now only decorative? Such as dinnerware?
I saw a couple of white objects and wanted to ask for any tips how to mix the correct white? I struggle with white never being really white 😊 P.S. my favourite is the Native American pot restored with museum restoration method - these repairs made the peace utterly charming ❤
Hello, thank you for sharing your wisdom in restoration I have learned a lot. I wanted to ask you on how I could get the colors for Lladro. I saw that you use powder pigments is that the only way? Thank you for your response.
Hi, just found your channel and happy as it's quite instructive. Can you colour over the Terracotta Milliput? I have a white McCoy pottery planter with a hairline fracture I would like to repair. It's quite heavy. Is the White Milliput as strong and water resistant as the Terracotta one? It would save me painting over the repair. I wonder also if I could use Hxtal to fill the crack first? If anyone could help with my question it would be appreciated. Thank you.
Thanks for taking time to share your work

Unless it's just a rim chip or some minor repair. . . yes, display only.

I plan on making a video addressing the issue of color matching, hopefully in the not-too-distant future

Terracotta milliput and white milliput are the same product with different colour, so they have identical physical properties.
Why are the joints visible on some dishes, and not visible on some?
Those were "bond-only" repairs. No cosmetic work done, as per customer's wishes.
@@marsgitar oh I got it. Thank u!
