    Ms. Trena my dear. My name is Tim Forbes in Savannah, Ga. I sorta fell into the furniture business when I was 14, now 72. I still work a 40+ hours repair/restoring casegoods and upholstery. Your eye for quality is so refreshing to me. Your skilled thinking and application of your work is so evident. You demonstrate care of the outside visual appearance as well as the unseen that folks may never see. Very much me. I care about those steps/foundation equally as the outward appearance. NO SHORT CUTS! I want to extend to you the greatest compliment for your craftsmanship/ craftswomanship that I can express to you. You are, to me, watching your videos is like watching Bob Ross create one of his paintings on tv. Thanks, Oh, Peace, Luv and Rock and Roll, always.

    The main thing I don't like about watching you repair furniture. It makes me realize what a horrible job I've done repairing every piece of furniture I've ever fixed in the last 40 years, lol. Another amazing job. Thanks for taking us along 👍.

    The chairs turned really beautiful. Way better than what I could have imagined. It is lovely to see you working in the shop with your dad in the background. You have such a warm personality in the videos. I can only imagine the joy your dad feels to have you working along side him and you him. Congrats on the long move and getting busy again!

    Hello Trena! It's always a pleasure to watch you. I watch a lot of woodworking videos, but no one can keep up. You are very professional and you show your many years of experience and everything you have learned from your father. Under your hands, the different things you make are brought back to life and fit into any home. Thank you for this great video, I'm already looking forward to the next one. All the best Maria

    As an amateur woodworker in the US, I was introduced to Robertson screws when using Kreg pocket hole jigs. These screws are superb because when using power drivers, they don't torque out like Phillips and slotted screws do.
    What most handymen in the US don't realize is that newer electrical outlets and switches sold in both Canada and the US allow the choice of at least 3 different types of screwdrivers to attach wires- slotted, #2 Phillips or #1 Robertson. The Robertson is superior!

    • @davidbaldwin2729
      @davidbaldwin2729 7 месяцев назад

      yes I also was first introduced to square drive (Robertson) screws via the Kreg pocket hole system. Here is the US a lot of screws now come with Torx heads now adays and so I now only use them for all woodworking projects. Never going back to slotted or Phillips, they are just the worst. The europeans now put a lot of "reverse torx" bolts in automobiles. Amazing that Canadians have had much better screws in common use for more than 100 years.

    To me the repairs are tricky and, in some cases, difficult and maybe tedious but the real magic is in your ability to do the finishes. I absolutely cannot get over your skill in doing the finishes, remarkable.
    I’m not impressed with the structural design of these chairs. Given the arms, the integration of the back and rear legs I see only minimal help in preventing racking from side to side. I think that is a major part of what led to the original problems. I’ll bet you see them again in about 20 years. 😃

  • @Hiris-hu5pc
    @Hiris-hu5pc 4 месяца назад +2

    Of all the many skills you possess, your knowledge and skill with stain/color/finish is masterful. I’ve futzed around with stains and coloring enough to know how difficult what you make look easy is. I feel this skill is not something that can be directly taught, rather it is acquired through years of experience. Thanks for the knowledge.

  • @medickaisu

    Watching you restore these chairs is a testament to your skills. It is also a testament to the quality knowledge passed from your parents to you. It seems clear the last person to attempt repair of these chairs was inept at best. The thinking was in the right direction. But the repairs were anything but correct.

    Masterpiece ❤. Anytime I’ve dealt with furniture or interior finish work I’m amazed. Much of it is beautiful but I’ve never quite figured out why exactly big nails were used so plentifully. My parents home, 1920’s building I’m guessing. Lovely but why the four inch nails in door frames? You don’t know wether to laugh or bang your head against a wall 😂.
    Love your work and fixes after hardware removal.

  • @dzymslizzy3641
    @dzymslizzy3641 7 месяцев назад

    Beautiful, as always.
    I know there are various ways of doing things. When that chair seat broke, I think my late hubby's method of fixing that would have been to let it come all the way apart, and then glue it back together using biscuits. 🙂
    When you were first showing the chairs, the first thing I noticed was that horrid corrugated fastener being used to hold that split together. My brain screamed, "NO!"

  • @ginger1549
    @ginger1549 7 месяцев назад +2

    Such abeautiful job! I love love love how the color turned out on this table and chairs, in my all time favorite wood - oak! To me OAK feels solid - like something that is forever - just like magestic old oak trees that have withstood many years. Yes, most of my furniture is oak.

    Another amazing job. I can't really say I am surprised any more when make the furniture look better than new, but I am fascinated by the way you do it. I have to admit that I have a soft spot in my heart for the green leather, but the customers choice of silver leather plus the increased number of tack really brought these chairs to a whole new level. Absolutely beautiful!

  • @Jason-7212
    @Jason-7212 7 месяцев назад

    Just a little idea that was passed to me years ago. When gluing pieces together when I have to place a block over the glued seam, place wax paper between the block and the glued seam. This prevents the glue from adhering to the block and gluing it to the piece. I work on some items that are softer woods and sometimes when trying to remove a block that has been stuck to the piece I can get splintering along a seam or even chunks can pull off. Even get pieces of the block pull off and stick to the glued boards. The wax paper prevents this and can make the cleanup of excess glue seep out more straight forward by not having to fix the pull-out pieces and not having extra material stuck to my work that has to be scraped or sanded off. Overall I love your work! You go about repairs a little different than I do, but that has given me new ideas on how to approach different repairs. Always interested in learning new ways as it helps me to better preserve historical pieces. A big Thank You so much from this Texan!
