Restoration Workshop Library.

Seconded, and preferably ASAP. If this idea's going to work out well it'll need thinking upon and maturing, but at least we can get started, and make people aware that it's "opening for business" before long.

Hi Guys

First I want to thank you all for your input on this subject but this is how I see it. I really see no reason to clutter up the page with yet another sticky on restorations. I just went into our search section and typed in the word "restoration" and all the threads that contained anything on restorations popped up. So all the information you need is at your finger tips.

Please feel free to keep posting any and all restorations of items you have in your collections.

Thanks

Salaams,

I dont agree! A properly managed restoration library would enhance the Forum... Despite having an excellent search key this does not replace what would otherwise be an excellent research sticky. Bring it all under one roof!

Where there is clutter is in photographs where there are 3 stickys that could easily be telescoped into one sticky thread called, say, Forum Photos.

I think more thought ought to be invested in how best to tackle the problem of Restoration as simply reverting to the search key is rather like throwing out the baby in the bath water..no?

Regards,
Ibrahiim al Balooshi.

I might tend to side with Ibrahiim. Not just know how but access to materials. I for one would like to know more about working with and obtaining organic materials like cordage, be it coir, cotton or what ever. I would also like to know about rattan work. With the global coverage of this site we could help each other with supply and demand especially with smaller quanties, often all one wants and needs.

Hi Ibrahiim

Sorry but my decision is final and this subject is no longer open for any further discussion.

This thread is now closed.
