About
Half the fun of restoring is the hour afterwards, when collectors compare what went wrong. Cheap fixes first: clean it, tighten it, wait a day, then decide whether it needs replacing. By spring the routine settles, and the sets stop needing a checklist.
Every set here has a date and a short note, because the details fade faster than anyone expects.

A good Sunday needs three things: an early start, a short plan and a long lunch. The notes below are short on purpose: what we tried, what happened, what we would do again.
