Makeovers. Physical items.
Current obsession: Baumgartner Restoration. A second-generation art restorer. Yeah, he kinda talks like if Rod Serling were trying to get with you. Or maybe it's *yeah!* he kinda talks like if Rod Serling were trying to get with you. His videos are so compelling -- he makes art look better and ensures it a longer life.
In this one he returns a portrait that had been oddly painted over into something more like the intent of the artist. Not quite as bad as Monkey Jesus, but related in its enthusiasm and well-now-I-have-to-paint-over-the-whole-thing-and-maybe-nobody-will-notice-ness of it. After watching certain other of his videos he makes you want to wash every painting of its varnish, if only you knew how.
And then there's any restoration of a tool. Usually includes an acid bath and dangerous-lookin electricity. Like this one. So good!
And...Norwegian Wood. Man in cabin in Norway repairing stuff with an accent? Wish he was my relative (although my cousins are really great).
As always, more than you needed to know!
