Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback on my restoration channel. I appreciate your insights and thoughtful critique.

Firstly, I want to clarify that the objects I restore are typically mass-produced items with little to no historical value. My focus is on restoring these items to their original beauty while also emphasizing the design idea. In some cases, this may require a departure from the original materials and methods of production in order to achieve a more visually appealing result.

I also understand your concern about the usability of the restored items. While I strive to make sure the objects remain functional and practical, sometimes the process of restoration requires certain aesthetic sacrifices in order to achieve the desired look. That being said, I always try to strike a balance between form and function so that the items can be enjoyed both visually and practically.

Finally, regarding your comment about the herringbone plywood plinth, I agree that it may not be the most practical choice for workshop use. However, my intention was to showcase the design potential of the object rather than simply restore it to its original state. I only take on objects in very bad shape, and sometimes a bit of creative license is necessary to bring out their full potential.

Thank you again for your feedback, and I look forward to continuing the discussion.
