Default Re: BBC TV: The Repair Shop

As previously discussed (back in 2017) I like this series. This year there have been ten 45-minute programs featuring new (2018) restorations, followed by fifteen 45-minute re-edited repeats from 2017.

I think we may be being too critical here. I can imagine similar criticisms being aired on furniture restoration forums, fine art repair forums, clock repair forums etc but I have found plenty to interest me in the non-electronic repairs which, let's be honest, are far more numerous. I am perfectly happy to admire the skills of most of the experts too.

I also try to spot the brand names of the specialist materials that the professionals use, although they try to disguise them. So far I have identified and bought some really good adhesive, some paint stripper and some leather restorer, all of which will find uses in the general purpose area of my workshop.
