Curiosity Incorporated's Alexander Archbold has found a project small enough to work on without finishing the barn: teaching himself watch repair. Buying parts online and learning how to fix watches is his new winter hobby, he tells viewers in "Live chat! It's been a long time :)", with Melissa beside him.
The catch-up drew roughly 15,000 views and was the most watched new upload of the week. It also explains the pause in the barn series we reported on here. Construction has caught up with the videos, but the garage door delivery is delayed. Meanwhile, the tractor needs shelter, so Alexander has sold the cheap Volvo project car to free up garage space. Even an antique reseller has to stop bringing things home occasionally.
Melissa talks about returning to preschool teaching, while Alexander looks ahead to estate-sale and storage-locker videos scheduled through November and December. Viewers bring their own long memories to the conversation, recalling the Potter's house series and treating the chat as a chance to catch up over breakfast.
There were 15 uploads altogether, with jewelry supplying several of the shorter discoveries: rings hidden in a bag, diamond testing and the difference between gold's scrap value and auction price. The live chat carries the most viewing momentum right now; among Shorts, the ring-appraisal guide and a silver-coin discovery are especially active.
Subscribers held steady, and daily views are running at less than half their usual level. That softer pace is shared by several nearby collectibles channels, including Tom Ayling and RetroBlasting. For Alexander, the practical question is what the finished barn will hold: his Ford tractor, the boat and storage shelving, rather than another project car.
