Every once in a while a project arrives that upon first glance appears straight forward and simple but as more time is spent understanding the nuances of the work involved, well, things get interesting.
And such is the case with the painting featured in this video series. What appears fairly simple is anything but and requires inventive thinking, novel materials and even new equipment to facilitate a successful conservation.
Follow along in this five part series as the painting moves through the various stages and treatments of conservation and restoration.

Ughhhh I would be back anyway why did you do me dirty like that!?!😭
I just want to say that I love hearing you say "orienting" instead of "orientating". The latter drives me mad.
My thoughts watching him @ 5:30
Me: Wow, he's like the DJ of Restoration
Poor some self leveling epoxy on the back.
I assume you've already got this all planned out, but in the event you ever face a similar situation. It may be worthwhile to invest in a 3d printer & large scale CNC machine. You could even go so far as to build the structure from extruded aluminum and purchase only the electronics. This would allow you to create a flat backing down to the μm on any future projects.
Thank you for sharing your skill.I really enjoy watching your videos. Do you realise you are half way to building a Mable machine X. Cheers John from County Durham England
I hate this waiting stuff
What a cliffhanger !!! 😱 This should be on Netflix…
If I was a painting I would trust this man with my life
If he were a college professor I would never leave school.
My guess is the router he had set up near the new table will be used to face the back of the painting
And, the cliff…I am really hoping there will be a release layer on the back, and a buildup of a stable structure applied on top. This of course depends on the stability of the wood and controls of the climate in that it will live. Such a tough place to be. Ultimately I yield my thoughts to this master of conservation, but it pains me when conservation takes an irreversible turn, such as medium removal.
When will we see part 3?
Greatly enjoyed this tutorial and demonstration, seen both 1 and now 2 but where is part 3?
Very interesting documentary about a superb restoration. Thanks for this.
I wish I had a job like his. Not one day passes without me resenting not having followed my passion. If you have a real passion for something and you’re good at it, focus your effort on it and it can become your life.
Julien: How do you flatten a piece of wood into a uniform state?
David Bull [emerging from the fog with Japanese wood carving tools, to the sound of bamboo-flutes]: Anooo—
How old is that?
Never would I have thought that a cliffhanger would be so effective on me. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN!
