    Hi there, an off topic comment which I hope isn’t inappropriate. A fellow Canadian and talented furniture refinisher/repairer (female) also has a UA-cam channel, John’s Furniture Repair . She is currently going through a difficult time mainly from an either unscrupulous or incompetent company mismanaging the build of her new shop, as well as health issues AND (one of those years). Her last video explains the whole saga. As the original Canadian woman with a shop, I think it would lift her spirits if you were to drop her a comment. Her followers are covering her losses, but a little sprinkling of celebrity dust would help too! ❤

    • @toolgirl
      @toolgirl 25 днів тому

      Soothing and gong-like sounds like it might actually be relaxing. Most wind chimes remind me of that disaster movie 'Twister', in which the clang of overactive wind chimes quickly became the soundtrack of DOOM.
