Excellent repair work!
I make my living repairing, restoring and refinishing old and unique furniture, and am pleasantly surprised to see you use many of the same techniques and products as I do. I've been doing this work for thirty years or better and find it heart warming to see someone as young and as capable as yourself carrying this profession on in a traditional style. Seat of your pants retro engineering, and some good old fashion ingenuity is what it takes to do what we do. And I will put a plug in for Mohawk products as I see you use them. Their touch up products are top notch. I've even picked up a couple of tricks watching your videos. I'm almost 70 and still learning. It's what keeps us young. You have a good knack for color matching, and I know that comes from lots of trial, and lots of error. Been there done that. Keep it up, I'll be watching.
You my dear sir, are my kin. Many trades and DIY people who watch me don’t fully understand how these restoration shops function on a multitude of skills and a ton of flying by the seat of our pants. Every single job we do is different, there are similar processes but never the same project. I am so happy to have a fellow restorer join me here. Cheers friend! 🍻
Aa
I never discount what works... The most effective solution sometimes is the most direct . May your hands never grow weary in your trade.
I’m 61 and still learning too. My grandmother started teaching me when I was 9. Trena is amazing in her craft and teaching us old fogies a new trick or two is an added bonus to her videos.
I, too, am an old dog woodworker doing everything from new custom furniture to repairing antiques and newer pieces. Hardly ever the same thing twice. I would be very appreciative if you would state how many hours your restoration or repair took to complete. Do you bid or charge hourly? What is your hourly rate$?
Hockey tape, dead giveaway you're Canadian. I've been doing this for 40 years(retired) and learned something new today Enjoying your videos, good work
The shading and blending to match those colors is mind blowing and the attention to detail is a enjoy to watch.
Gorilla Glue - AAARRRGGGHHH!!! We've done many repairs like this in our shop in Missouri, but I still picked up a few tips from watching your video. Excellent work!
Nice!
I like the job you did on that chair i have never saw a chair like that in my life
There is nothing more satisfying than watching craftsmanship on display. Loved it! 🤘🏻
Great job. Couldn't even tell it was repaired. Thanks.
I think you should get the look of the people when they come to see the absolutely gorgeous work you did for them. They are moments worth remembering! Wonderful work as always!!
I’ll keep asking. Many are shy. Cheers!
I appreciate the "steam tube" you used in the chair repair segment. Your honesty and work ethic is astounding and I like that. Anyhow people who critic you without any actual experience are annioying. And....... I find people who don't make any mistakes just aren't doing very much!
The ox is slow, but the earth is patient!
You have a real gift in your ability to blend those colors.
I think the same thing every time I watch her projects. Like an artist blending and painting a landscape.
Interesting trick cutting notches in the dowel to let excess glue escape, I'll have to remember that. Nice repair job.
Me too
That's what equality means to me.
Seeing someone no matter what gender being as capable as anyone else and getting paid what it is worth.
Here we have a gorgeous woman teaching everyone, male and female how to do top-notch work.
This is how the world should head towards, not just demanding entitllement.
Go girl! You are and inspiration!
Thankyou
I love that you retain the natural beauty of the wood instead painting and roughing it up.
I can just imagine how good you feel inside when you finish a piece like this. I just love watching you repair things like this. You are so talented.
Very relaxing to watch.
Lots of blokes on here 'explaining' what they would do, or saying that she knows what she is doing, as if she really needs this validation. She is a pro. The 21st century has left some chaps behind.
Thank you. It’s Nice to be respected cheers
Very valid point indeed.
Starting to binge watch your work now, this is number 3. I very much enjoy watching someone so good at what they do. It's hypnotic. Thank you for sharing this.
plus being a sweetie-pie. so nice video
and so nice shop.
i'm with you----but ---- it is so much easier watching her work than doing our work!
Fantastic Repairs !!!!
It's always a pleasure to see a skilled craftsperson at work.
Excellent, I have almost the same job to do but wasn't sure where to start. Thankyou thankyou, such a talented lady.
THIS WOMAN IS AMAZING
You are AMAZING!!! First time I have ever seen a repair like this. I enjoyed watching you do your magic.
Superb job fixing that chair!
THIS WOMAN IS GREAT
I am impressed!
This is a traditional Dutch "Riempie" chair from South Africa. Riempie (pronounced ream-pee) refers to the rawhide strap seat which is very comfortable and lasts for years. Great repair and cosmetic detail.
Thankyou!
@@johnsfurniturerepair oooooopoo
nice restoration. That color match you did on the thin spindle from front to back was amazing.
Thankyou
Phenomenal Job! I repair a lot of furniture and this is top notch. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience. Thank You.
Thanks for watching!
Great video, having to repair a rocking chair, had no clue till I seen your video. Thanks
I admire the Lady. You need patience for such work.
You cant imagine how much better I felt when I saw you kerf cut the dowel perimeter on the Band saw and not the Table saw!!!!! My mind flashed to doom and danger while at the same time knowing that was just a goof of words!
Lol. Oops
This is so beautiful! Really enjoyed the camera angles you use to clearly see your work and also the tools you use for us new to woodworking! Thank you so much. Highly skilled work!
Nice job.!!
I love a detailed craftsperson....
Awesome job with the chair ma-am
My father restored antiques for a living and watching you with all the different techniques to match the color and do a strong repair was like being in his shop again .
How lovely!
It seems surprising that the broken and repaired leg didn't become slightly shorter than than the other legs. Thanks for your channel this is my first time on it. I'm quite impressed! You and Tom Johnson teach us all.
I love Tom’s videos. He is a master
I agree, he is amazing as well.
I'm an amateur who's done some actual restoration of vintage furniture ( not true antiques) and found your videos just recently. I am learning some techniques from you with every one and want to thank you for giving me of your knowledge. I'm a 75yr old woodworker who still enjoys my hobby.
Happy to be helpful
Awesome job Trena. As one who has performed many repairs myself, I think you have done a superb job. Attention to detail is the greatest key.
Thanks for explaining what "hockey tape" is to us Southerners!
You are quite the artist!
Great repairs! Your color-matching skills are super.
Only you could make repairing a broken chair leg interesting! Amazing!
Wow! you are an artist . Thank You.
Very well done. Love the color matching especially the blonde piece.
You are clearly very skilled. Great video.
Nice work. The color matching on the repaired parts came out very good.
Thanks 👍
Nice job Trena. I love your gentle touch on the previously botched repairs. Better condition than new, I think!
Those are nice-looking legs!
That chair is so unique I wasn't sure you'd be able to match the colors - but you did it and it looks wonderful. Your customer is going to be amazed and happy. Good Job!
great video. with in-depth instructions
What a neat looking chair it must have been special to them to bring from Africa. Great job
Fresh as a spring breeze, nice work, appealing appearance and voice. Thank you.
You could have been an orthopedic surgeon. Tremendous job that shows your professional ability.
Repair was great and your color matching skills are excellent !
Thanks !
I just discovered your channel. Over here in South Africa these chairs are very common. I have screwed up a repair myself and will now retry it using some of the techniques I've learned from your channel
Welcome and good luck!
Excellent !
Best regards from Russia.
That strapped leather is known as "reimpie", pronounced "rimpy" and is a traditional method of making seats in South Africa. On farms, which were all very remote, furniture was made by the farmer and the dried cowhide, or springbok hide in some cases, was used for everything, from carpets to shoes. Small pueces of different animals were sometimes sewn together, to form a floor covering, and was called a "Kaross".
Lovely to see how well Trina repaired a modern copy of an old piece furniture. She is so talented and meticulous in everything she does.
Thankyou!
This is very instructional. As a woodworker I make mistakes on my projects all the time. Learning how to fix them is an art in itself. Thanks
You are such a master furniture repairer, restorer and an antique life saver to so many people. I am a disabled veteran here in Corpus Christi, Texas. I do not get out a lot with the covid pandemic going on, and I just want you to know how much I enjoy watching and listening to you talking about new furniture that has come into the shop. What your clients have asked you to do with their pieces, how you plan on step by step what is needed to achieve a good result. And I really enjoy when you show the finished furniture when you are completely when it is ready to be shipped back to the client (so beautiful). By the name of your shop and the explanation you gave on your tour, you must have loved your father very much. You are honoring him through your work. I can't help but think he must have loved every minute of having his little girl in the shop with him any time he could.
So glad you are enjoying the videos. My dad is actually still working in the original shop back home in Saskatoon. We both miss working together. Great memories. But we visit when we can. Cheers!
Very impressive. The chair sits nice and level..no wobbles...Great work!!
That's Ridiculous... What an Amazing Job You Did!
Awesome job Trena
Ok... fess up... there was magic used at some point (LOL!) Just amazing repair work on one of the trickiest sections of a turned leg. What I really appreciate is her narration while applying glue, filler, stain and finishes. There's a reason each product is used in each measure and you get a feel how the grain and nature of the wood guides her. Love it!
Wow! From throw away chair to a great looking chair.
Break? What break? LOL
Looks amazing.
The only reason a customer wanted this chair repaired is for sentimental reasons. Seen many like this.
Really beautiful chair and your expertise brought it back to life. Your work is amazing and thanks for sharing.
I repair old furniture and I think you did a nice job , you used a lot of techniques I use , my dowl would have been longer just because it's a dining chair , love your video's . Mike
I have used a long piece of steel rod instead of a wood dowel rod and drill the holes but deeper into the leg on each end. Took a small grinder with a thin cutter wheel a cut a groove in each side of the steel rod and cut a few little places cross ways for the epoxy to lock it into the holes in the wood leg
pieces . Because I figured that the steel wood be much stronger and longer each way inside the wooden leg . She did do a good job lining and matching everything back up . I have put steel inside of wood pieces just to give them strength several times, not repairing, just building something to make it stronger .
Nicely done!
Hey awesome video. It was nice to watch as voice and even nicer to listen to your voice. I could listen to you talk all day. I love how to videos and you did a heck of a job teaching us.
Thankyou
Your work is very nice thank you for teaching
Perfect job,beautiful
As we might say over here, a top bird doing a top job 👍🏻
It’s good to see and hear someone like yourself having and showing respect for other craftsmen work that is why I love your channel
Your work is amazing by the way and hi from Australia 🇦🇺
I really Love your professionalism! My grandpa show me everything because he was an ébéniste! You remember me a lot of thing! God bless you! Now we used epoxy do you remember the plastic wood?👍💋🌹
You are a master with color! Beautiful job on a beautiful chair. I’m learning so much.
You did a very nice job he was very particular and it looks excellent when you get done thank you for the video
Your sense of what color is needed and blending it is exquisite
Thankyou!
You do awesome work. It's a pleasure watching a professional do good work.
I love watching this as I love repairing vintage furniture❤️thank you!
Great work as usual and some repairs that I would never have tried. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful job. A little putty and paint will make a carpenter what he ain't. Excellent epoxy Work making sure you had a path to release pressure.
I'm in absolute awe! You have an exceptional skill and your attention to detail is unsurpassed.....Fabulous!!
Thanks so much 😊
Trena, As the son of, grandson ,and great grandson of a wood worker, You are a pro.
Thanks
Like watching a surgeon at work! You’re good gal!
I’ve had a broken chair that’s like this one for at least 7 years now. I think I’ll give this method a shot.
Very useful tip on using the band saw on the dowel. Thank you. Your work is impeccable!!
Great videos, I learn so much watching them, thanks for posts them.
Truly astonishing display of skill and patience to bring back a piece of furniture that most of us would have just chucked in the skip 👍👍
Beautiful work, I always learn so much watching your videos so informative and you take the stress out of repairs for me, thank you Trena
Every part is concentric and perfect, Oh, and the chair's ok as well.
lol
You are an artist! Beautiful job restoring that unusual chair that I would love to have in my home.
Wow, I watched your site for the first time and was amazed at your talent, not only for assembly but color mixing to perfection! Thanks for sharing and showing how almost anything can be repaired! Awesome!
The more I watch your videos the more I'm convinced you can fix just about anything... When you started out on this chair I wondered how you were going to do it... and bit by bit you did it! Wow! Craftsmanship + artist!!!
You have a God gifted talent, Kudo's to you.. Thanks for the video..
Thanks to you Miss John's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
