Japanese Vase (Lamp) Repair pt1

Trying something different in this series of videos. A long format showing much more time on each step of the process. More talking and leaving out the music. I wanted to show just how much work goes into a repair like this. Also this is a step down to a "B" quality repair; a slight step down from my best work but still a good quality repair. I was told that these are "Mimosa" style vases. The maker's mark on the bottom of the vases is missing due to the holes bored through the bases, so we don't know for sure if they are real Mimosa vases. The customer, who brought me two of these to repair, picked up the vases before I finished editing this video and, I'm happy to say, were pleased with the results. Thanks to Ellen Wight for the camera work and proofing. I couldn't have made this video without your help.
