@WiburMills - I watched this this morning and it made me cringe. Restoration though is different from conservation and I lean more towards the latter (which is why I cringed). Anyway, to each his own. The stock breaks as he disassembles it. Escutcheon nails bent as he removes them (I didn't see him stress relieve them after he straightened them). Steel tools for scraping instead of brass/nickel. Laquer thinner to clean the stock. Your thoughts on the chemicals and things he does?
