When you restore a piece. It doesn’t mean you make it look like new. You keep its story, each mark is part of its history. You restore its purpose whilst making it look like it’s always been loved & cared for. #restoration #antiques #restore #workshop

Well my Christmas Eve is set. A Whisky & maybe a mince pie. Yes I know…..I’ve gone wild. Merry Christmas to all you Stalkers & Stalked 😉 #MerryChristmas #Christmas #HappyChristmas2025 #christmasmovies

@Pott_Shrigley_ I spent many hours in there, mingling with Sheffield’s Glitterati 😉

Cambridge Street, June 2001 #Sheffield

@Pott_Shrigley_ Oh to travel back in time! 😵‍💫

The Sheffield Hardware stand at the Great Exhibition of 1851.

Who of you older buggers remember these “Toast Toppers” a 1970/80’s icon of an eve snack. Me & my brothers Fri night treat whilst Ma&Pa were at the Pub. Chicken & Mushroom, Ham & Cheese, Mushroom & Bacon, Chicken Curry (in the 80s) Oh the Ham & cheese 🤤 #memories #1970s

@CardiffSpinster Times have changed & not for the better. The physical interaction with toys/games has disappeared. Now it’s a Reality which normalises violence & many disturbing facets of real life. No longer a Game. Get yourself a Kite & enjoy the memories 😍

@2016industrial When I was a kid, we built little boats to run on a local lake and airfix kits and kites. My mum helped me to sew dresses for my dolls. Now I just see kids attached to screens. I might get myself a kite for Christmas. I'll have to tie it to my dog because I'm old and knackered.🙂

They are incredible. 😍 the attention to detail is remarkable 😳 & costing approx £60 🤣 How bloody delightful is this short film 🤓👏🏼

@giltbrookpie @MarkHaydock5 Reminds me of “Pathe News reels” & the Public Information films from the 1950’s & 60’s.

@2016industrial @MarkHaydock5 With the jauntiest of jaunty music. Bravo.

@grumpyjsymum Thank you. You’d best start save your pennies 😳 they are eye wateringly expensive 😵‍💫

@2016industrial I remember that one, fabulous job I’d love a set of those.

Today I ordered Veneer to top up my existing stock. I always try to keep a varied stock & it bought back a memory of repairing a set of Epstein cloud dining chairs c 1930’s. They were in poor condition, I was pleased with how the restoration went. #restoration #antique #workshop

@EmJaySlade Thanks Mike 👍🏼

@2016industrial Good to hear. Take it steady.

Hello guys. I hope you’re all doing well? An update on myself. I’ve been quite unwell with what’s based around low cortisol. Absolutely floored me & kept doing so. But today I ventured into my workshop & tomorrow I’m meeting a couple of mates for a coffee. Things are improving.

@ade_rawden Cheers mate 👍🏼

@2016industrial Craftsmanship 👏🏻

@saltnlineker1 Thank you David 🤓👍🏼

@2016industrial Sorry to hear that, hope you continue to improve. One day at a time.

@AndyWoodturner Cheers mate. 👍🏼

@2016industrial Hope you continue to improve. Enjoy tomorrow :)

Mexico and Japan are staying in the same hotel during the U-17 World Cup and this is how the Japanese players received Mexico after their first victory in the tournament. 🇲🇽🤝🏼🇯🇵 This is what football is all about. ❤️⚽️👏🏼

@Norfolkstickman Cheers buddy. It’s been a slow process. Anxiety attacks crept in a month ago & Wow 🫩 Cortisol can really f*ck you up quickly. 😵‍💫

@2016industrial Hi Andy, great to hear that you are improving, missing your posts. Been busy here few more sticks for sale for Christmas present.

A quick “Hello” to you all. I’m still off work through illness 😵‍💫 but I’m slowly improving & looking at getting out of the house soon. I hope everyone is doing well & working to a great end of the yr. Please keep me in mind #antique #antiquefurniturerestoration
