Yannis is great, always willing to help with anything, from the convent to horses. Would love to know his back story, anyone else think he should start his own channel? I'll watch with subtitles.
To state the obvious, it must be chilly in the chapel. I'm sure that will be another project. The view of the upper part of the chapel was very interesting and also hints at more projects especially restoration of the gallery. Can't wait for that!😊
My father built the Harpsichord he played, so I find this absolutely fascinating. I must say I never knew how intricate organs are. This has been wonderful to watch, thank you.
At 21:10 Billy, it just struck me that the rectangular empty spaces on either side may have held pictures or carvings of The Stations of the Cross. If you’ve ever been in a Catholic Church and noticed the side walls, you’ve seen them. These images commemorate incidents in the passion of Christ like the crowing with thorns and the help given by Simon of Cyrene. There are fourteen such, seven on either side. In this chapel smaller representations may have been set in the large rectangles to fit seven on each side. It may have just been plaques. The rectangular spaces are separated by what I’ll call pseudo columns, whether Doric, Ionic, or Corinthian I can’t tell-maybe just a generic column. From the colors in the painting of the Holy Family above the altar those images, if small paintings in the same style, were probably exquisitely done. Considering the sisters took the Stations of the Cross with them, I marvel that they left the picture above the altar. It’s your treasure now. Continued blessings in your good work.
I'm so impressed with all these successful projects you have taken on. Who knew that all these videos about the rebuilding of an old organ would be so interesting?! And-how do you, Nick and Michael know so much about all the fine details? It's such a complicated process, and yet you are doing such a great job. Well done- you should all be so proud of yourselves!
Well all of the bits are going in, but until it's had a run through they won't know if they have a problem or not, with a stray note or effect or such like!?!
We love Yannis and his work and video opens. When he popped out of the organ the other day that was really funny. God bless you with understanding and patience on these tiny parts that didn't get marked as to where they went.
I do hope Daddy Moon will be able to help with fitting the library. His skills will be so useful when it comes to the complexities of fitting it together.
"Some bloke named Newton." LMAO You guys are engaging in the most complicated game of Tetris ever! I can't begin to tell you how much I admire you. I hope none of you are claustrophobic? Those are some seriously tight spaces.
Actually, Archimedes, not Newton, was the one that theorise the leverage. "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world." It was in use already. He did the math.
Billy,Michael,Yanis,Nick,and Alex my darlings. It’s amazing to see the organ being put back together little by little. So many parts. Until tomorrow. Please, take care and stay safe. Love you guys. 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🇺🇸👏🌹🕊🙏👍❤️🌞🌈😇🎅🎄☃️🔔
totally amazed by this whole project, amazed by the care, precision, instinct and love nick, michael, yannis, et al, are putting into rebuilding this organ. you all are amazing! love seeing the progress day by day. truly a gigantic puzzzle with a great prize at the end.
Thank you all at the beautiful Convent I loved seeing the continued progress of the reconstruction of the organ and my favourite viewings of the finishing touches on the most amazing kitchen.
Billy, I have a good suggestion to complete the protection of your kitchen doors. You can easely put a "Door push plate" in polished brass (to go with the kitchen). This way no fingers will be in your doors. It's going to be beautiful also. We usually fix these plate also at the bottom of the doors, you know (in polish brass also). It's not very expensive and protect well these parts of doors. Au revoir. Your kitchen is going to be amazing ❤
At 21:33 The prominent gold letters on blue are A and M, fancily interwoven. This is abbreviation for “Auspice Maria,” Latin for “Under the protection of Mary.” “Auspice” became auspices in English, similar idea. It’s position below the empty niche strongly indicates there was an picture of Mary above it. Looks to me like this Chapel is still “under the protection of Mary” as you’re taking such good care of it.
Where to start . . . with Yanis' excellent intro! Well done! Nick & Yanis, with Pip & Layla supervising, discovered so much. The patience & attention to detail impresses me every day. Doors look great, Billy. Alex, great music! (Stellar videography, as always). Working from inside the organ, oh, my! Please do consider a plaque somewhere, with names if all organ builders. And I hope dear Pip will have a place of honor, on or very close to the organ, when the work is done. Blessings from an old lady in the US.
i’ve always been transfixed by the sound of a true pipe organ, but other than the fact that I knew it was powered by air, I knew nothing else. Thanks to you all, I now know just how amazingly complicated it is and more importantly, how clever our forefathers were 👌
What a team working on a giant puzzle and making amazing progress. Crack on! Billy the kitchen is a marvel everyday you make it more beautiful. The nuns must be Truely happy with your progress.
I must admit, the red colour of the main frame, against the gold of the pipes looks fantastic. I think this will be lost if it's painted in a colour you previously suggested.
I know this is controversial but I would like to say that the chandelier for the kitchen is not the best choice for a kitchen. Just the cleaning will be excruciatingly difficult. It really doesn’t matter how good the exhaust fan is? It might look nice for a minute. Please consider a lighting fixture that is in keeping with the look. But easier to clean. Sorry😢
LAYLA! That's the name I had forgotten! Thanks! Such a pretty doggo and she's just so sweet. Watching Nick and Yannis petting her so she wouldn't bolt straight to her Dad (who was right there behind d the camera! And OH, how she wanted to go to him!) was adorable. What a good girl.
Nick is a master craftsman, obviously with the patience of a saint. Yanis is taking all this in, his knowledge expanding everyday. The kitchen doors look fantastic Billy. Well done everyone. The camera work is great as always. Thank you 💕🇦🇺
Hello everyone! All going forwards - slowly (which is best, less mistakes!) and Yannis is getting very good with his english (how are everyone else learning French??) and becoming very helpful, learning new skills too! The varnishing of the doors has shown the wood grain - looks wonderful! Best wishes from Lincolnshire
I really appreciate the respect which the organ repair fellows hold for the significance and sacredness of that pipe organ, whatever their own beliefs are. They recognise its importance to those nuns and they treat it with kindness and esteem. That’s a beautiful thing.
Perhaps it has already been shared but it would be nice to know Nick’s background as he seems very knowledgeable and capable in putting this amazing instrument back together. Can’t wait for the first sound to resonate throughout the chapel it will be amazing for everyone!
From a write up in Saffron Walden & District Riding Club 2014: Professional show jumper Nick Moon has been show jumping for 25years. He has represented Great Britain on many occasions jumping in Nations cups, European championships and the prestigious Hickstead Royal international. He has ridden at the famous and much loved Olympia London, The Horse of the Year Show and the stunning Royal Windsor Horse Show and many more… He has an amazing string of horses that he is currently competing; Professor Dumbledore, Beauty RJ and the legend that is Eperlan du Fouquet. He also has a number of lovely horses behind the scenes who will be joining him and the others out jumping soon. Nick is an accredited course builder. He has built at many venues including Hickstead, Quainton Stud, and Towerlands to name but a few. He is a patient and encouraging instructor who gives confidence to all of his pupils- with a good balance between fun and discipline in his sessions. Nick runs Finchingfield Equestrian Centre from his home in Essex when he is not away jumping. All his horses come from troubled backgrounds and he works hard to build up a trusting, compassionate relationship with them. He is a true horseman whose passion and pride for his horses is unbreakable - he dedicates every minute of the day to understanding and helping troubled horses and his results magnify this. Nick and his wife were both born into horseman families. They sold everything and moved to France for the horses. Legacy of Legends. "While it’s nice to think the horses we’ve come to know and love in competition go riding off into the sunset with their human athletes, the reality is that this may not happen. Enter Legacy of Legends, a horse nonprofit in the Limousin region of France near Limoges." This organisation was started by equestrian Nick Moon and his wife Jen in 2016 to create the kind of retirement centre top equines deserve. ~ Fédération Équestre Internationale
Sooooooo much work putting the organ back together again, and repairing the tiny pieces. Impressed with the knowledge of Mr Moon in reconstruction of the organ. Love, love, love your video. Enough said……CRACK ON☺️
I'd love to see the doors of the chapel opened to the residents of the village, for a concert of organ music. Perhaps the are some local organists who might like to participate. Maybe at Easter? It's just a thought.
Great job everyone! ... Billy, at the 21:01 marker, where you point above the window & you mention where there was a statue & someone put a piece of plywood ... that's where I'm wondering / thinking, those historic items belonging to the convent (the items that are not supposed to leave) ... that's where I'm thinking they could be!
So nice of you, Billy, to give recognition to each of the individuals involved in restoring the organ - especially PIP! It is absolutely amazing how many individual pieces there are to create the beautiful sounds that an organ can make! Nice to see Michael back. Hope all went well installing his radiators!
Great to see and hear Yannis!!!❤❤❤❤ loved his confidence and speaking English. Well done! Nick is great and knowledgeable in his work. Very detailed. Thank you Bill and Michael for bringing these daily videos to all. 😊
I really enjoy Alex’s camera skills. I love the nooks and angles he catches of the grand convent. He shares views we have not seen before. Welcome Back!!! Plus we get to enjoy Billy in his element.
God bless Nick, Michael and Yannis for their perseverance, determination and sense of wonder. I would have thrown my hands in the air when you opened the box truck!!! This has been so amazing to watch.
The three dimensional puzzle continues 😂 such an amazing journey for the organ. I CANNOT WAIT TO HEAR IT PLAY. The kitchen is coming along nicely the end bits and pieces are all about the wait. ❤
Yannis ... your english is coming along. Good for you! Nick bravo sir. My husband would say you're a jack of all trades ... master of none. For those who haven't seen Nick's channel, I really recommend it. Creative and kind. A refreshing breath of fresh air.
Oy. I've always known that organs were extremely complex , but had no real comprehension of the vast quanity of intricacies involved. I'm squinting while watching the work, longing for floodlights and magnifiers! The skill and ingenuity required -- both for building and rebuilding this instrument -- is awe inspiring!
Layla is such a beauty she's looking great in her coat. Such a precise and fiddly work, keep up the good work guys the organ will sing in no time. You can also see how much Billy is glad with Alex being back, real nice complicity between them.
Another good method for small controlled movements/adjustments is a threaded bar or pipe clamp. For a pipe clamp, you get the end fittings as a set for a given pipe size (1/2”, 3/4” and so on) and then can use the length of pipe you need to reach. There is typically about 2” of threaded travel before you need to reset the clamp head. In addition, you can reverse the heads and use it as a spreader!
Please wash and polish the brass pipes! Don't over do it. You still want the patina on them but not all the dirt. Look at where the pipes fit into their holders. I noticed the ends were brighter. It will make your organ look smarter! Best of luck with all the key fittings!
BILLY,you were right to paint the doors ,the same as the walls , now ,τhat you varnished the dioors ,it is nicer, .great job with the organ !!! So many details.?.
Billy, despite the kitchen doors being a complete pain in the bum to hang, it (may) still be worth taking them off again to Osmo the bases. If there's ever a major spillage or flood, those unsealed portions stand to provide a perfect vector for absorption directly into the wood, leaving stains you'll never ever get out; that would be such a shame and provide a source of total annoyance every time you looked at them. I know it would bug me forevermore if that had happened to my lovely woodwork, knowing it was mainly my own fault.
Nick has been impressive to watch on this project. So much respect for his ability to figure out such a complicated thing and to communicate what he is doing. Also just in awe of what an amazing transformation the kitchen has made.
Nick, you’re doing such a awesome job putting this organ back together, it’s quite interesting to see the different steps - along with Michael’s work also. Probably 100 years or so ( when we are all gone- it still will be a much watched procedure. Crack on! Well done!! 🇨🇦👏👏🇨🇦 I Also like your family posts. Have a new great grandson and his name. Is Rupert ( new in our family- but my granddaughter’s mom was from UK. 💕🌹
My that is a complex puzzle you have to do, but with Nick and Michaels meticulous workings out it is coming along, well done Nick Michael and Yannis. Lovely job on the door Billy it has come up really well, the colour is perfect. Loved watching. Crack On
To this day, this project has been so fascinating for me. I mean what an enormous undertaking. Wander if Nick ever worked on anything like this. He seems like such a knowledgeable and very capable of it. Maybe some people are just born skilled. Same to Michael, I mean playing the piano doesn’t give you organ making skills. But Michael sure does seem like it. 👌🏽
Lovely to see Layla in her cosy coat. She did very well to stay so long (with Nick & Yannis with a tight grip on her 😀). Does she get on well with Pip? When I left the cathedral in Norwich on the Thursday, Michael was still removing all the trackers, so I knew that it was going to be a big job to get them back in again. I didn’t notice at the time that they were all so different.
Absolutely fabulous episode! Layla and Pip have been emotional support team. Yannis, Nick and Michael have been reinstalling the brain. Like in orrigional Star Trek and Spock's brain. Thank you all very much for making and sharing this 💜 beautiful video! Be well, stay safe all. Bless you all.😊❤
Yannis is doing well with his English and such a great help for Nick and Pip !
@@BeachClubNovaScotia sorry, I didn’t mean to steal your thunder !
Yannis is great, always willing to help with anything, from the convent to horses. Would love to know his back story, anyone else think he should start his own channel? I'll watch with subtitles.
I was thinking the same thing! What a great addition Yannis is to the crew! ❤
To state the obvious, it must be chilly in the chapel. I'm sure that will be another project. The view of the upper part of the chapel was very interesting and also hints at more projects especially restoration of the gallery. Can't wait for that!😊
@@thedriver02 I think Yannis is a most lovely fellow. I love his dynamics with the Pethericks, friends and animals. He is truly a most lovely fellow!
I really admire Nick's work ethic.
He knows that he is NOT working on an Ikea product, but a beautiful old MASTERPIECE!
Yannis is such a great guy and talented in every way! Good to see him being included in more complex projects!!!
Nick's mind is so keen and his skill so precise---absolutely amazing! He's also a FANTASTIC communicator!!
Yes he is. He and Simon would work well together.
Very patient and kind.
He sure is.
It's coming together is right Billy. Simon is going to be delighted when he is back.
Nick is amazing , especially as his background was originally show jumping!
Michael must be over the moon to have heat in the cottage. So lovely.
Well he's got the radiators on the wall!?!
Yes! And I sure would like to see how his cottage and the greenhouse look now. Hint hint, Michael! 😁
Is that over Nick Moon? 🤣😂
@@dwestibclc me too! He got the roof on the bathroom. Hopefully Michael will start on it!
And perhaps he’s even more excited to be back working on the organ!
Nick is an absolute gem. Such a positive person, smart, kind and loving family man. Mrs. Moon is a lucky woman!
Simon and now Billy and Nick are helping to teach Yannis a trade. A great, and valuable side benefit, is that he's learning English.
My father built the Harpsichord he played, so I find this absolutely fascinating. I must say I never knew how intricate organs are. This has been wonderful to watch, thank you.
Pip is doing a wonderful job of overlooking the organ construction!
Isn't he? I doubt things would be cracking on as they are if it weren't for his great Supervisory skills.
It's so fascinating to see this organ be reassembled. Every little cut and marking is a touchstone to the past and the person(s) who first built it.
So true! Isn’t it fascinating to trace through the organ work over time?
At 21:10 Billy, it just struck me that the rectangular empty spaces on either side may have held pictures or carvings of The Stations of the Cross. If you’ve ever been in a Catholic Church and noticed the side walls, you’ve seen them.

Loving you guys. Everyday, watching the progress at the convent, and with the organ, I feel like I’m there with you all.
I do hope Daddy Moon will be able to help with fitting the library. His skills will be so useful when it comes to the complexities of fitting it together.
"Some bloke named Newton." LMAO

The doors look so nice Billy, Pip is a great forman. What an awesome view inside the organ, amazing
If the bottoms of the doors are not osmo-ed, when the floor is mopped, can water seep up the undertreated wood and cause staining?
totally amazed by this whole project, amazed by the care, precision, instinct and love nick, michael, yannis, et al, are putting into rebuilding this organ. you all are amazing! love seeing the progress day by day. truly a gigantic puzzzle with a great prize at the end.

Billy, I have a good suggestion to complete the protection of your kitchen doors. You can easely put a "Door push plate" in polished brass (to go with the kitchen). This way no fingers will be in your doors. It's going to be beautiful also. We usually fix these plate also at the bottom of the doors, you know (in polish brass also).

A bit of a puzzle day for Nick and Yanis. Such a complex project.

I must admit, the red colour of the main frame, against the gold of the pipes looks fantastic. I think this will be lost if it's painted in a colour you previously suggested.

So much patience with all the fiddly bits of wood .Yanis is doing really well with his English ❤
Wow! I never realized how all those little parts had to go back in the organ! It really is totally exciting to see this coming together!
I do think the cabinet you painted look lovely.

Marvelous! Great job! Guys. 👍❤
from the first brush strock it looked fantastic
Hello everyone! All going forwards - slowly (which is best, less mistakes!) and Yannis is getting very good with his english (how are everyone else learning French??) and becoming very helpful, learning new skills too!

i look forward to watching the progress each day Love you all.
My favorite intro music. It's like the Petherick theme song 🎶🎶🎶

So incredibly inspiring & interesting video, as always, wonderful men at work 💝🇦🇺

Awesome getting a greeting from super-worker Yanis!
"It's another challenge the Old Girl's thrown in our direction, but we're gonna embrace it bravely & crack on." - Nick 💓 Well said.
You have a great supervisor in Pip the mouse. The organ is looking amazing each time you do a video. It is really getting there bit by bit.
Looks to me like the guys are miners inside the organ, you could, for sure, do with better lighting🤔 to help with the puzzle 🤗
Lord. I would lose my ever loving mind at the sight of all those trackers. 😂 Incredible fortitude.
I'd love to see the doors of the chapel opened to the residents of the village, for a concert of organ music. Perhaps the are some local organists who might like to participate. Maybe at Easter?
It's just a thought.
Great job today! Those doors in the kitchen are gorgeous. Organ is really progressing! Well done!
Need a statue of the Blessed Mother for that niche in the gallery where initials A M (Ave Maria) are.
Great job everyone! ...

The oak doors look beautiful.
Could you have any better people to rebuild the Organ? Nick and Yanis are taking such care. It’s wonderful.
Billy is such a neat painter, not needing drop cloths on that new floor! Kitchen is absolutely gorgeous
incredible delicate craftsmenship in this Organ….so interesting to follow this….the skills you all have are astounding….
I'm so impressed with the puzzle
That dog's face during the intro 🤣
Watching Alex 😀
I just loved the intro, the videography was awesome, views we haven't seen before, love your style ❤
The doors are beautiful. Proud the organ is coming along. Thanks for sharing
getting it fitted perfectly for an old organ, with much respect for the craftsman of yesteryear. Great work.
Progress is looking good

I'm squinting while watching the work, longing for floodlights and magnifiers! The skill and ingenuity required -- both for building and rebuilding this instrument -- is awe inspiring!

Another good method for small controlled movements/adjustments is a threaded bar or pipe clamp. For a pipe clamp, you get the end fittings as a set for a given pipe size (1/2”, 3/4” and so on) and then can use the length of pipe you need to reach.

Please wash and polish the brass pipes! Don't over do it. You still want the patina on them but not all the dirt. Look at where the pipes fit into their holders. I noticed the ends were brighter. It will make your organ look smarter! Best of luck with all the key fittings!
Rest assured, these guys are meticulous. They will make sure every t is crossed and every i is dotted. 😊
You have to be super super careful with them. It’s not a matter of look…
BILLY,you were right to paint the doors ,the same as the walls , now ,τhat you varnished the dioors ,it is nicer, .great job with the organ !!! So many details.?.
It’s great that in Michael’s absence Pip was able to step up to the plate ❤
Great music! You need to leave a playlist.
Amazing work by all 👏
A couple of big copper pans on the old cooker would look great.
With back-lit lighting....
It is incredible, the progress! Love that Alex’s fur baby gets to be part of the crew.
Billy, despite the kitchen doors being a complete pain in the bum to hang, it (may) still be worth taking them off again to Osmo the bases. If there's ever a major spillage or flood, those unsealed portions stand to provide a perfect vector for absorption directly into the wood, leaving stains you'll never ever get out; that would be such a shame and provide a source of total annoyance every time you looked at them. I know it would bug me forevermore if that had happened to my lovely woodwork, knowing it was mainly my own fault.
Yannis' English is really improving...he, too, is an amazing team member on this organ progress! How did Nick learn this amazing skills
Nick has been impressive to watch on this project. So much respect for his ability to figure out such a complicated thing and to communicate what he is doing. Also just in awe of what an amazing transformation the kitchen has made.
Nick, you’re doing such a awesome job putting this organ back together, it’s quite interesting to see the different steps - along with Michael’s work also. Probably 100 years or so ( when we are all gone- it still will be a much watched procedure. Crack on! Well done!! 🇨🇦👏👏🇨🇦 I Also like your family posts. Have a new great grandson and his name. Is Rupert ( new in our family- but my granddaughter’s mom was from UK. 💕🌹
My adult grandsons were visiting, we watched the Thursday episode! They loved it,
My that is a complex puzzle you have to do, but with Nick and Michaels meticulous workings out it is coming along, well done Nick Michael and Yannis. Lovely job on the door Billy it has come up really well, the colour is perfect. Loved watching. Crack On
the beautiful music is back, thanks
Nick you such a blessing. The way you have such an attention to detail is so wonderful. So fun!
To this day, this project has been so fascinating for me. I mean what an enormous undertaking. Wander if Nick ever worked on anything like this. He seems like such a knowledgeable and very capable of it. Maybe some people are just born skilled. Same to Michael, I mean playing the piano doesn’t give you organ making skills. But Michael sure does seem like it. 👌🏽
Michael also plays the organ.
He’s told us he used to go into the church and play when he was a schoolboy.
Lovely to see Layla in her cosy coat. She did very well to stay so long (with Nick & Yannis with a tight grip on her 😀). Does she get on well with Pip? When I left the cathedral in Norwich on the Thursday, Michael was still removing all the trackers, so I knew that it was going to be a big job to get them back in again. I didn’t notice at the time that they were all so different.
Absolutely fabulous episode! Layla and Pip have been emotional support team. Yannis, Nick and Michael have been reinstalling the brain. Like in orrigional Star Trek and Spock's brain. Thank you all very much for making and sharing this 💜 beautiful video! Be well, stay safe all. Bless you all.😊❤
The curtain like paint technique around the small window is super cool looking.
I am amazed by this organ all the intricate bits and pieces that fit in there. Everyone is doing a great job to get it complete. Have a great day
