February’s History Talks focused on how and why people restore older homes in the St. Louis area. Master carpenter Eric Lavelle and home restorer/YouTube creator Kaleb Higgins shared details about how they work on older homes, many of the tools involved in restoring wood doors, trim, molding, and other features, and why it’s important to preserve these older structures.
I loved hearing Eric LaValle’s story. Great speaker. Way to humble about his genius in restoring old homes and expertise on old pieces of machinery. One-of-a-kind living treasure as is his daughter and sidekick Claire. Fascinating talk. 💕
I really liked seeing the machines used to make the incredible woodwork.
