Putting it to work
Present the product during a stage of the renovation: preparation, installation and use.
La Villa de Vic · Collaborations
Products put to work on site.
I’m Franck Auchet. I’m renovating our former post office and sharing the work, the stages and my material choices on video.
Renovation is my field
Show the craft.
Explain the choice.
Wood, reuse, insulation and improvements are part of my daily work. The Villa is our home and an ongoing renovation: each project gives materials and equipment a practical role.

A long-term collaboration
Owatrol: three years of hands-on projects.
For three years, I have collaborated with Owatrol on wood and metal renovation projects.
The products are chosen with the brand according to the project’s needs. My videos show surface preparation, application and results, explaining the choices and the product’s technical benefits.
Across the projects, I have featured Oléofloor, Vegafloor and the wood protectors I regularly use at the Villa. The aim is to show what the product is for, how I apply it and what it brings to the project.
Around 2.5 million cumulative views
By my estimate, all my Owatrol videos have accumulated around 2.5 million views across my social networks, including the metal table renovations. Technical niche topics — wood renovation, metal protection, surface preparation and product application — can therefore reach a wide audience.
Personal estimate for all Owatrol videos across all networks, as of October 2026. These are cumulative views, not unique viewers.

Salvaged timber: I wish I had kept more.
Thick planks from the house next door, a floor above the studio, ideas for tables and doors… What I salvaged, what I regret and my advice for getting started.
