Original Blip.tv video no longer available at its original URL.
A hearty welcome to John Leeke of Historic HomeWorks as he joins Voices of the Past’s “staff” of video bloggers. John’s main interest is “helping people understand and maintain their older and historic buildings.” In this entry, he speaks to Paul Marlowe of Marlowe Restorations in Connecticut about proper repair methods. Then, we’re treated to a demonstration of a timber repair.
Archive note — September 2026: Blip.tv, which hosted the original video for this 2008 preservation-trades entry, shut down in 2015, and the embed no longer survives. I’ve left the post in place because the series itself documents an early effort to put hands-on preservation knowledge into short-form web video. The hosting service disappeared; practitioner-led instructional video became routine.
