Junk Brothers

This show is absolutely fabulous. I would love to own their work. They take roadside treasures that people toss out, turn it into something fabulous and return it back to the original owners. They add their own personal knowledge to their craft and it is very educational. I also love the fact that they can sew! These men are absolutely fabulous! Please make more shows!

FYI: I am posting here under my husband's id.

Mad skills with the saws AND upholstery work. Everything you could ask for in a DIY show. Funny hosts with good energy and chemistry, too! Needs further on screen explanation of some of the tools and techniques used. Not necessarily a voice-over but a silent and on screen pop up???? superimposed over the action, so that the natural affinity these guys have for their craft and each other isn't interfered with at all. A host would buzz-kill the whole vibe here.

ie: tonight they showed them fitting a piano hinge, but gave no explanation for why they flipped the piece over and closed it up before doing that. I couldn't see what happened or why they lined it up like they did or what was important to know when doing the measuring or placing the screws where they did. I think I know after thinking about it some (I am not a woodworker, just a sewer and general crafter, but fitting a zipper is probably similar).

I would love to see a cameo (after the fact so it's natural and not rehearsed) say a day or two later, by the people they de-junked. The junk brothers go and fess up that they were the de-junkers and get the reaction of the people upon whose junk they worked their magic on. They're at such a distance in the truck when they film the drop-offs and I'd love to get a chance to hear what the people say and feel about the reworked pieces.

I really liked this show and the hosts. They seem like younger, more clean cut and WAY cuter versions of my 8th grade shop teacher (Remember shop teachers? I will be 40 in October). They give you the idea YOU could do this too, if you only tried.

I just wanna day how is your operation funded? And maybe offering before and after pictures with the item when they discover it, then there would be no doubt about that being their old piece.
