elanjacobs 23rd June 2020, 10:03 PM I follow an art restorer on youtube and he built this ingenious device to ensure perfect alignment when clamping a panel (in this case, a broken painting on oak boards). Panel clamps are cool and all, but this is just next level :oo:

Glider 24th June 2020, 08:27 AM Wow! A brilliant job all done so matter-of-factly.
I wonder if those components are available in Oz.

Simplicity 24th June 2020, 10:09 AM That was really well put together,
Thanks for sharing [emoji106][emoji106]
Cheers Matt.
NCArcher 24th June 2020, 12:30 PM I have now subscribed to that channel. I find the conservation work fascinating.
orraloon 24th June 2020, 03:34 PM Impressive. Now I'll have to watch the next part and see how things turn out.
It was also a good demonstration on what not to do about wood movement.

lewisc 24th June 2020, 05:31 PM I started watching for the clamp. I kept watching for the painting conservation. That's some really interesting and meticulous work.
elanjacobs 24th June 2020, 06:21 PM He presents really well and the work he does is very impressive; definitely worth checking out his other videos
I wonder if those components are available in Oz.
I suspect you could get most of it here, or something similar, but I'd hate to see the bill...
orraloon 26th June 2020, 11:56 AM Yes I was also thinking all that would cost an arm and leg but I guess overall in that kind of work it was worth it.

Optimark 30th June 2020, 11:58 AM Thanks for that reminder Lance, very interesting project. Not sure if I could ever afford something like that, some can and do get stuff like this conserved for future generations.
I await the method of removal of material from the back.
Mick.
NCArcher 1st July 2020, 09:34 AM I await the method of removal of material from the back.

Watch some of his other videos. It involves a router. On another painting he removes the wood and just leaves the paint which is then glued to canvas. I'm in awe of his skills.
stevecassidy 1st July 2020, 10:24 PM That was very impressive, another Youtube rabbit hole to go chasing down. I really enjoy the kind of detailed stories you get on Youtube compared with the rushed edits we see on TV these days.
I was thinking that the cost of that table would be huge but I guess it would be used again on other projects and the cost of conserving these paintings would not be cheap. Would be great to have those kind of skills and be trusted with jobs like that.
