    Trena, I am without words! This series has been phenomenal. Your skills and attention to details is incredible. You are wood worker, turner, furniture restorer, fine art retorer among many more! I hope this Client watches this series to get a sense of what skills you utilized in bringing this piece back to life!! Thank you for making this series. It is one I will not soon forget. It is time for the RUclips algorithm to send this content out to the masses so they can see your exceptional skills and the clear and assessable explanation you give of your process.

    I'm certain that if the characters on that clock face were to spring to life, they would surely stand over your shoulder and gasp, "What manner of sorcery doth this woman possess?" Great job on all points, Trena!

    Restoring the wood and clock painting is an excellent job you did, but, restoring the name on the clock, is like restoring the memory and legacy of a person. KUDOS !!!!

    @RobertoRMOLA 2 года назад +26

    I was confused by that "31", but then I understood that is the date dial. Spectacular end result, no doubt! What formidable talent and skill you have! Too bad it's over... I wanted another 20 chapters!

    • @johncolvin2561
      @johncolvin2561 2 года назад +1

      The clock was a calendar clock, the calendar feature only needed the addition of an extra gear or two to drive the date dial.

    • @twkolejofil
      @twkolejofil Год назад +2

      You could be confused by the 60 divisions on the dial which should have 31 of them. It's the only fly in the ointment...

    @LUTfam4 2 года назад +1

    I knew you were a fantastic furniture restorer but an art conservator too!! 👏👏👏 The line work and lettering you did on the clock face are terrific.

    @joebainter 2 года назад +3

    I have never been less than overly impressed with the magic you show in restoring these projects. But the work you did on the face of the clock takes it to just one more level over what I usually expect from you. I expect artistry from you with word work, never expected you to show the same skill with a paint brush!
    That is one proud clock that will grace another home for the next 200 years

    @azpcox 2 года назад +1

    We got to see the whole transformation piece by piece so we had 4 videos and lots of time to appreciate the changes and craftsmanship you put in. Poor guy was just blown away with the restoration. The faceplate work alone was stunning but put together with everything else. Loss for words as he was. I hope he also got some proper care instructions on what to use to clean and dust it. Help him keep the wood as beautiful as it was when it left your shop!

I hope you are very proud of yourself you deserve a gold medal 🥇. Take care 😀👍👍

    Your skills. The artistry required to restore that clock face. You blew my mind. My husband is an American artist who has sold his oil paintings in high-end galleries all over the nation, so I know a little about what it takes to be a painter. Your problem solving skills restoring this clock were off the planet. What a pleasure to watch you do what you do.

    Magnificent to say the least..........where does one even start! The restoration of all the wood, legs, finial, let alone the painting restoration.........unreal! How in heavens name were you able to save the original painting without destroying it. I know lacquer is or can be a mess to deal with. Your work is over the top and beyond. You are an artist of many things indeed!!!
    I am so excited for the customer as well.........what a beautiful find and the name restoration or the original makers...........unbelievable.
    Blessings and thank you for loving and maintaining history!!

    Trena, that was a tour de force, a triumph! Like all the others here, I am in awe of your determination, talent, skills, artistry, and passion for this multi-faceted vocation. It was just magic watching the clock come back to life. At one point I was very focused on some detail you were working on, and I kept thinking why is the image moving? I shifted my gaze and there was your fabulous pooch’s tail wagging away happily. That, combined with the squeaky toy at one point just cracked me up! But in a good way. Your pup brings a joyous warmth to the whole affair, as does your loving relationship with your fab parents. Thank you for these delicious ‘slow art’ videos.
