A new episode of Swedish pickers!

The difference is that I restore everything, with respect to the original and with the maker's way of thinking in mind.

Brilliant!

Some of this takes forever, I try to grasp the maker's thoughts and then I go to town.

Yoda you are the preserver of the "old craft", sometimes your restorations turn out better when they were new !!
sometimes you make me wonder were you find all the energy......is there a secret in the Swedish woods ???
But sorry i laughed when i saw Emilio's post!! Not with you of course , I like the way he always has the "proper" answer for most posts!

Thanks! I understand your question completely. It's in fact pretty simple, I see something interesting and pick it up for a future restoration/repair. I still have a lot to do...
Some 14 years ago I picked up a load of things in Denmark and hired a truck to be able to haul it all. I work on one piece at the time and take my time, mind that I have all day these days and I can do a lot in 10-12 hours a day without being tired. There is plenty of room for good homemade food, a cigar and so on in between what I do.
I have an attic and a cellar full of things which I plan to do something with, I am starting to fear that I perhaps won't have enough time left for it all, I need to discuss this with my daughter....but I will keep at it.
Spring, summer and autumn is usually a pain in the ass, because I have less time for the projects. My summer house takes time...
Oh, I seem to have a room at the summer house as well now, it was meant to be a place for me to work on watches on rainy days and now it is cluttered with stuff, like my shop at home.....
Guess I am a random hoarder.

Hi mate....
It should be the first series of Athaya ... as reported by those who sold it to me.

Very beautiful case shape and aged effects! I believe it'll be a great build piece! Enjoy!
