    When he said "the wood is sane", he actually meant "the wood is healthy". In french we say "le bois est sain" which means it is still good to use.

    That really is excellent work. The use of old wood for all of the replacement parts means that it still looks like a restored old wheelbarrow when you're done, rather than a new copy. I am quite impressed!

    I am a 53 year-old woman who loves older things and younger things like the kitty cat that's helping you I enjoyed your video thank you

    Nothing else to add to the comments below. Just WOW. I am a car guy and have always preferred watching metal fab but you have opened my eyes. The way you salvage as much as you can, while preserving as much of the original, is time consuming and impressive. I lost my job a month ago and it's channels like yours that are keeping me "sane" during these insane times. New sub and a like from Tulsa, OK USA.
  • There's something very refreshing about your restoration videos, maybe it's the pacing, the fact that you do so much of the work outdoors... It's just very relaxing and enjoyable.
  • I've watched a dozen or so of these restorations from LADB and I just now realized this is a father/son operation (I think) which makes me love this channel even more!

    Notice how the “inspector” keeps a close eye! Well done, Avril .. you’ve got a great team there!
  • @Dogo24h
    Very meaningful work! You have reprocessed scrap into a useful product!
  • @tomskaggs7918
    Love to watch you work. Especially how you try to save as much of the original wood as possible. Thank You.
  • I really like the sympathetic restoration you did on this, utilising any pieces you could reuse, and remaking those you couldn't. I especially loved the way the cat 🐈 supervised the entire project, giving it the final "meow" of approval at the end of the video.

    Прошу Вас - сделайте видео о всех предметах, которые Вы реставрируете. Было бы интересно побывать у Вас на экскурсии, хотя бы и виртуальной. Мне очень понравилось это видео и эта реставрация. Привет из Сибири, Россия.

    It seemed like a majority of your work here was in replacing dry rotted wood. you used several methods of repair and replacement, all beautifully done. It definitely added some character, and strength as well, to a work that already had plenty of both. Excellent, as usual!
  • @johnvaldez8830
    The best part about this is that you made it functional and saved it from the fire place!
  • @wetdedstuocm
    I tip my hat to you both. You have always saved a piece for the brink of ruin and yet kept it old. Your Restoration Skills are Amazing. Saving old parts when and where ever you can.. Also Avril give the projects the final approval.. Peace
  • Not only does this make my restoration heart happy, I’m also very pleased when you are able to repurpose some of the original wood and used some wood from a nearby branch as well. You guys are brilliant.
  • @SimpleLife1971
    A mix of old and new in terms of wood, tools, and techniques! Thoroughly enjoyed the restoration!
  • This is one of my favorites. Thank you for trying retain as much of the original parts as possible.
  • Beautiful job. My father and my father-in-law will love to see this. Thanks for sharing!

    Beautiful. Love those old wooden wheelbarrows. It's so nice to see someone showing us that broken things still have value and can be repaired and restored. Great video.
