[rabbit hole warning]

Just in case the algorithm has not send you down there, https://www.youtube.com/@BaumgartnerRestoration

Arainach•2w ago
It's hard to pick one representative example, but the whole channel is a better example than the video linked in this HN post. Where this video says things such as "using precision tools and carefully selected materials", Baumgartner walks you through what tools, what materials, and how/why he decides to use those materials in a way this video does not.
christogreeff•2w ago
Been following him for a while. The recent one about the brush company was great.
flowerthoughts•2w ago
> materials

I'd say he's always been very secretive about the chemicals he use, what type of varnish was on the painting, etc.

gus_massa•2w ago
I agree. For example, in this video they say "1% peroxide" to clean the circular ¿mould? marks. I don't remember any specific detail like that in the videos by Baumgartner, just "a mix of solvents", "some cleaners", ...
EvanAnderson•2w ago
Baumgartner's videos are wonderful demonstrations of his skill and knowledge, as well as being entertaining. I can't imagine a significant fraction of prospective fine art restoration Customers would go seek out videos like these, but if one was considering Baumgartner a quick look at his videos would go a long way to closing the deal.
cannolicannon•2w ago
I'm supposed to be finishing up a changelog entry for a software release, but this is fascinating. Watching someone execute their craft at this level is mesmerizing.

You did warn us though.

s1mplicissimus•2w ago
Was just about to recommend that same channel. In comparison to the article video, I find Baumgartners style much more educating and soothing. Though the process they use for restoring paintings seems pretty similar, it's always interesting to see new ways of doing things.
adriand•2w ago
I really needed this watch. What a lovely change from the steady drumbeat of insanity that has taken grip of this world. A beautiful reminder that amidst the chaos, so many people - I think many of us included! - continue to practice their craft with care, precision, discipline and consideration.
amelius•2w ago
The hitting of the nails at 7:19 didn't look like true craftsmanship.
rationalist•2w ago
Lots of details irked me, that was the biggest.

The most evident part was where they showed a close-up of the new canvas, and the corner cuts did not line up.

JadeNB•2w ago
While those interested probably already know about them, amateur restorations can be decidedly less felicitous, with probably the most famous example being Ecce Homo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecce_Homo_(Garc%C3%ADa_Mart%C3....
Fire-Dragon-DoL•2w ago
I wish they made an ASMR version of the video
calciphus•2w ago
If you like this sort of restoration, the BBC show "Repair Shop" is a lovely and wholesome show where master craftspeople fix people's family heirlooms. In the US it's all available on YouTube, elsewhere on various services.
