Amazing work Dave! I also like that you inlaid the little bronze plaque instead of using screws, I wasn’t expecting that. After watching this and your soldering station build, I should give JB Weld another try!
When we bought our house, an original 1915 toilet water tank was leaking from several cracks traveling straight through the ceramic. I "welded" the cracks from the inside of the tank with J-B Weld. That was 20 years ago and there hasn't been a drop. I've used it for absolutely everything and anything since then.
Nope. It was sold to me as “exterior”, whatever that means. I’m certainly okay if it dulls a bit, and it’s easy enough to resurface if I ever want to spruce it up.
Thanks Dave fantastic, great work, sorry for your loss 😟 It was a beautiful tree but you made something beautiful out of it. Thank you for the video. As always, it's nice to see Hugo!
Isn't it! A big part of my love for the tree is that it almost died 17 years ago after a root was cut. The black streaks in the wood are the few years when it was hunkered down trying to recover. It came back strong, but not strong enough to weather last winter's storms.
Yeah. I only looked at that clip 2000 times, over three weeks and two films. It’s amazing how our brains can remain blind to something like that - or my brain anyway.
Love it! It’s a whole thing. Weirdly, and frustratingly, saying “subscribe” in one of these ridiculous little films increases subscriptions by a preposterous degree. I resisted doing it for two years, and tried doing it in an unexpected way. Glad to know that it still elicited an “errrr”. I feel the same way - will likely kill it.
Wonderful project and amazing results! Great use for your tree. Thank you for sharing this delightful movie documenting your labor of love.
Thank you thank you!
I bet you were leaving Maine thinking "I dont want to mix another bag of concrete for at least 6 months."
Exactly. I can report that a single bag is remarkably simple.
Cool build! The gold repair is special, thanks for sharing Dave!
Thanks for watching!
A creative mind is a beautiful thing to watch because they make beautiful things.
Well that's a damn nice thing to hear.
The all-thread had me worried but man, "I love it when a plan comes together." A perfectly thoughtful memorial for the beautiful loquat tree.
All-thread has never let me down.
You had me at electric planer.
It’s the greatest tool of tools.

I know that Ms. Loquat is very happy, thanks to your care. That glint of gold is so fitting! Also love the DoNotSit guys - Miyazaki?
Yes - from Spirited Away!
The gilding is such a cool idea
Out of vexing problems (wood dries and splits apart) comes cool ideas.
@@cinodrome Did you put a top coat or anything to protect the gold leaf?
Nope. It was sold to me as “exterior”, whatever that means. I’m certainly okay if it dulls a bit, and it’s easy enough to resurface if I ever want to spruce it up.
This is a lovely tribute
Thank you!

Appreciated!
My favorite so far! I am in awe of attention to detail. Of adhering to process so assiduously. Cool Fucking boots, btw.
It all starts with good boots.
Love this one. Also, been eyeing some mini chainsaws for a bit and am taking this a sign to pull the trigger 😅
I have to say that it's a touch concerning having a chainsaw blade in one hand with your other hand in such near proximity. Proceed with caution.
@@cinodrome Proceeding with caution, over.
Thanks!
Thanks!!
Beautiful
Thank you sir!
Wow, the wood from that tree is gorgeous!

lovely video dave - love an authentic story like that. special objects require special attention!
Thanks so much!
Great memorial for a great looking tree.
I look forward to seeing your videos go live. They just have that good vibe for me. Very relaxing. Thank you
Thanks so much - greatly appreciated!
Wonderful as always. But check your spelling on your SUBSCIBE slide.
Yeah. I only looked at that clip 2000 times, over three weeks and two films. It’s amazing how our brains can remain blind to something like that - or my brain anyway.
@@cinodrome to be fair my artist brain didn’t see it on either video. But my partner spotted it instantly.
I never trusted that shady loquat tree when it was alive. What makes you think that a little paint and goldshlager is going to change my mind now?!
it's saving a splinter just for you
hmm? like and subscibe? errrr

I think he means you misspelled "Subscribe" to "Subscibe". I don't think anyone minds a short plug to subscribe to a channel. @@cinodrome
Holy Moly!! I'm ridiculous....
AAAaand, now you have ads.
