Don’t let the trolls influence your content. It’s real easy to sit behind a keyboard and act mean and be a know it all. Ignore them, and as you always do,just do the best you can. You have years of experience, the best tools and infinite patience . Carry on!
❤❤❤ Best comment ever!
I would block them. They don't deserve you.
You do the best you can. And it turned out well. Sometimes the road is bumpy.😊
I'm amazed you were able to fix that veneer.
I'm working on a deck of nightstand in your technique on repairing the buckle veneer is invaluable.
Came out awesome and I love the color. 👍👍👍
Taking on the challenge of the damage was impressive. The end result was really good. The ways to the end can always be discussed, but that's the fun! Keep up the good work, both the jobs and the videos, and ignore (or block) the people who like to be negative. Good to see shop dog! I hope working with your parents is working out!
Your first responsibility is to your customer, not your RUclips audience. If you found yourself getting frustrated and videoing the process became stressful, you did exactly the right thing by turning off the camera and finishing the job. The result is beautiful and you should be proud of your work. Thanks for sharing with us.
Yes. Thankyou so much!
First-time commenter here from the States. Bravo, you are human! We all make mistakes. As a female, almost 76, I've made plenty. But, young lady, you picked yourself up and created a masterpiece! You are a talented woodworker! Please don't be so hard on yourself. If a troll wants to spew hate, let them. The vast majority of viewers admire your work. Love and hugs, young friend!❤😊
Thanks
Once again I’m blown away at how skilled you are at transforming a disaster into a treasure.
Loved the video and the virtual experience. I love all your work and this piece turned out beautiful.
We’ve all had that “why the hell did I do that, I know better” moment. The fact that your skills make it all better is what’s so impressive.
Thankyou
What a beauty! I love your explanation of why not to sand a waterfall edge. That's something that most amateur refinishers wouldn't know. Thanks for sharing that bit of info.
Thank you very much!
The mark of a true professional craftsman is not that they never make mistakes it's when they do one will never know b the end product. Thanks for sharing. Will be there for the next video.
Great comment! My thoughts too. In a way, I think the re-do made it even better.
Takes character .
Your results were great.
Easter blessings to you.
My dad used to say a good carpenter knows how to cover their mistakes. As great as your carpentry skills are, love watching your colour work. Fantastic job on this piece as always.
Wow, I was afraid the customers decision to do this "basic" repair, was going to end up taking much more time and money. But you pulled it out of your...hat 😅 and turned into a beautiful result❤👏
@@noreenspruyt6890 I also appreciated your color work . On the furniture also.
You certainly have a right to be proud of yourself. That work is exceptional.
😉
Don't ever doubt yourself. Trials like that just reinforce how talented you are. You always turn out amazing work!!
Thank you so much!
People say “don’t stress, don’t worry”. But that’s what causes you to strive for perfection, and not except “just good enough”. And I totally love your honesty and sense of humor makes me smile. ❤
Thankyou!
You are far more knowledgeable than the people who comment here, Trena. You are also very generous to share your expertise. This is another example of your integrity and ability. Another masterpiece! Thank you.💗
So nice of you
Beautiful! I never miss a John's Video because of your integrity and caring for the customer. ❤
Thank you! 😊
Mistakes are how we learn new things. Last time I checked there wasn't anybody currently on the planet who doesn't make mistakes. What makes you an amazing person is you not only admit your mistakes, you keep working until you fix them. You are an amazing, talented woman. I enjoy all your meticulous work.❤
🥰
“Knocking it out of the park” is an understatement, it turned out beautifully, that’s the difference between a professional and an amateur, you work it till it works. Thanks for all the information you gave on refinishing waterfall edges, really appreciate your efforts and honesty. Thanks for the video, nice to know and see the pros have issues from time to time.
🥰👍
Trena, OMG what a fantastic result!! It’s okay to be irritated at yourself if something doesn’t go as planned. That happens to me all the time.😂😂😂 BUT please don’t doubt yourself or your abilities. You do wonderful work that many of us truly envy. I’m 70 and have been doing this stuff for decades. You put me to shame with how truly gifted and talented you are. I learn from every one of your videos. Keep believing in yourself because I certainly believe in you.
Thanks so much! 😊
Is it just me or does everybody love to watch these veneer repairs??? Love the technical skill and artistry of watching pieces that look like they will never work, end up fitting in beautifully. #Impressed 😊
Thankyou
You worked through it and made it beautiful. That's what counts.
It takes a lot of integrity to admit when one didn't do everything right, and I admire you for that. However, the end result did turn out beautiful.
Thankyoi❤️
Hi Trena, Tim here. The difference between a good carpenter and a bad carpenter is the good carpenter is able to fix his mistakes, a bad carpenter doesn't even know he made one. I have watched your channel for years, I think this is the first time I commented. You are an amazing finisher, I put you in the same category as Thomas Johnson and I know you know who he is!!! Timothy
Wow! Very greatful for the compliment❤️
Wow, wow, wow Trena!! You really bought this sideboard back to its original glory 😍👏🤩 Please know you are an amazing woodworker, teacher and an inspiration - if I can end up being 10% of the woodworker you are, I’ll be thrilled to bits!! ❤️❤️❤️
🥰
It turned out beautiful. We are often our own harshest critics, and often the least credible. Total strangers on the internet are least of all credible (I know this includes me,) but there are usually very supportive folks like me that really value your contribution to the world. Remember this moment when you start having doubts in the future, and don’t troll yourself most of all.
Lol thanks John 🥰
It turned out great it is great that you are your own critic that means your heart is in your work
I don't know why I watch these videos, it's kind of a busman's holiday. I've been refinishing pianos for what feels like a lifetime, and I have been in your exact situation a number of times. Veneers can be so hard to work with, but with your skill, experience and perseverance you got through to the other side. You should be pleased with yourself. Congrats on a job well done.
Thankyou!
I applaud your efforts to avoid redoing that veneer. Preserving the past is worth the effort.
Thankyou I agree!
This is a great video. Thanks for sharing it with us. I am a goldsmith. I studied metal working in school. It was not until I was out in the real world repairing old pieces that I learned the craft. The folks who fix things are first and foremost problem solvers. There are many ways to get the job done, no one way is the best. Thanks for the view of what it is actually like to repair pieces.
Glad it was helpful!
You didn't give up.
You didn't burn it all to the ground.
You kept working and trying your best.
And you succeeded.
We all, especially in the US, need role models like you.
It looked beautiful!
Thanks for that
It looks fantastic!! Don't sweat it .... we all have self doubts and are our greatest critics. Anyone that works with their hands and takes pride in their work has projects that feel like a train wreck in slow motion. There are times I've needed to walk away ..... work on it in my head and formulate a plan, then go back with fresh eyes and renewed strength. God bless!
Thankyou!
Trena: You always knock it. out of the park. I am amazed at your skill and artistry!
Thankyou🥰
Не нужно так переживать, Трена. Вы мастер, и мы все это знаем. Ошибок не бывает у тех, кто ничего не делает. У вас всё получилось на отлично, впрочем как всегда )))) Удачи вам во всём.❤
Thankyou!
Trena, when we self assess/correct ourselves, it's exactly the right thing to do. You did, very honestly and you also shared with us. You are such a winner and a woman of value and great character. I want you to know that I watch because of your technique and skill at just about any situation arising in furniture restoration and repair. Your no nonsense approach and with such practicality and resourcefulness is a marvel to watch. There will be a next time and I know you will remember to record tt all, no matter what happens during the process. Happy Resurrection Sunday 🌼⚘️🌷🌻
Thankyou very much. Happy Good day
I’m so glad this worked out for you & the customer. I like when creative people show their “mistakes” & what they do to fix them. I learn a lot from those type of videos. I want to see the great, the good, the bad, and the fixes. ❤
I totally agree!
You, AT Restoration and Flipping Drawers are our 3 go to renovation channels because of your professionalism, skill, respect for the furniture and your high standards. None of you ever disappoint even on a tough project. We actually applauded when we saw the completed piece
Beautiful job as always, Trena! Even if you got frustrated with the project at one point, your frustration is simply a manifestation of your heartfelt desire to do it right! And the end result is stunning! Way to go!
Yes! Thank you!
Do not sell yourself short! That is an absolute winner! No one is perfect in what they do, but hey, you are getting close!
Trina, we all love your honesty and openness, it gives you credibility, go you! 👏🏻
great job Trena. you shouldn't let life's "bumps" throw you down. sometimes knowingly we make the wrong decisions but the true greatness is to turn the situation around!!!
Wow, Trena! The patches are INVISIBLE! You are a magician at blending. Your Dad must be SO proud of you. Heck, as a fellow Saskatchewanian, I'M proud of you! I can tell you put a WHOLE lot of extra, meticulous time in to match things the way you did. You restored and saved yet ANOTHER piece of vintage furniture and saved it from the garbage dump. Well done! I am in awe of your talent and I thoroughly enjoy watching your labours of love. Congratulations and Happy Easter to you and your family!
Thank you so much!
The design is gorgeous. Im sure Trena will fix it right up, better than new. Time to watch and learn...
You ALWAYS do superior work Trena! Don’t listen to the armchair geniuses.
A true master of a craft is always learning. Things not turning out as anticipated is learned knowledge. It turned out flawless and that's what counts! Thanks for taking us along for the ride so we can learn too :)
Thanks again!
Good work. The beginning with your pup nicely foreshadows the lesson of this video. We aren’t in total control and that’s not only ok, it’s a good thing to be embraced.
Agree
Self doubt is not allowed on Team Trena ! 😀 As always you pulled a disater back to beautiful. You have tremendus skill and the worlds best teacher. Always a joy to watch you work .
Awe. Yes I agree💪
What a lesson that was: never stop filming, because a miracle may happen, and there's always editing.........wow, I could not see the patches in those photos. The finish was awesome.
Thankyou!
Trena, we love, love, love what you do. You are a miracle worker. XX
Dear Trena! The pangs of creativity are a sign of talent.
I’ve honestly learned more about how to recover from my mistakes from watching this channel and Thomas Johnson’s channel. I really believe mistakes are inevitable, but how you respond is what’s important. The only way perfection could be achieved is by doing nothing so I’ll never have a perfect record.
So true
Girl, you knocked it out of the ballpark. It looks great. You learn more by making mistakes than by not making mistakes. It's obvious you know how to correct them when made.
Thankyou
😯Omggggggg ! 😯
🤩 TRENA ! You ROCK ! 🤩
SUPER DELICIOUS RESTORATION ! ! ! ! This should get a bazillion likes ! Dangggggggg ! ! 🤩😍
😇❤
Lol🥰🥰🥰
Such a beautiful ending!!! Wonderful hug to you Trena
🤗
Don't stress Trena! It's all okay.
This piece needed a miracle and you gave it one, it's BEAUTIFUL!
Wow, your finished restauration is nothing short of remarkable... When I saw the damage at the start, I thought no way can that just be re-glued.. Then when you took of the clamps I thought, Yep that is going to be ugly..
But when you showed the end result, it was just perfect, invisible, like it had never been damaged.. Such skill & talent.
Wow ! You sure did "knock it out of the park" as you said !
That is knowing the result you want, and not settling until you achieve it.
Absolutely beautiful repair work.
Thankyou!
The finish looks fabulous. The repairs have just blended in perfectly.
Thankyou
Not every project goes perfectly, but you are being too hard on yourself. Your work is incredible, and I'm in awe of your talent and skill. It turned out so beautiful!
Thank you so much!
I have been in the medical profession for 45 years, a good deal of that very hands on. I have learnt infinitely more from my mistakes than I ever did from my successes.
Oh Trena. That cabinet is astonishingly beautiful. It was a total wreck when you got it. You had bumps on the road but you got there! I think seeing that even the absolute professionals, which you are, run into problems encourages those of us that are really hard on ourselves too. I can't imagine how difficult it is to run into the criticism public people encounter. It is easy for us to say "don't let it get to you". Much easier said than done. At the end of the day, you know how much you care. You know how willing you are to extend yourself on behalf of the people lucky enough to bring their prized possessions for you to rescue. Those items mean a lot to the people who own them. You are making the world a better place and you own that! Nothing and no one can take that away from you.
Thankyou❤️❤️
Tena, this piece turned out beautiful. Don't sell yourself short. You are an artist with wood bringing the damaged back to life
Thankyou!
@debrasmith it's Trena
Sorry Trena
You always do amazing work. I for one have no complaints and would never,never hesitate to have your work skills done on any of my furniture. Its doesnt matter how you start, its how you finish. And the finished product was perfect. Thank you Trina for letting us see your ups and downs in the shop.
Thank you very much!
Wow! I don't know why you doubt yourself. Your work is always impeccable. You are not only a great restorer, you are an artist.
Thanks so much 😊
Don't stress to much. You did a wonderful job, and it came out beautiful!!! Oh, and Happy Easter to you and your family.
Thank you! You too!
I was so looking forward to watching you work on the finishing too! Looks like you made a superb job of it, as usual tho', well done. Trena!
Thank you very much!
Integrity and expertise. You've got it. And you look good doing it! Who could ask for more?
I love the respect and intensive care you show every piece. I learn from you each video. And I’m an old lady 🦋
Thank you for the finger pickin’ music. I haven’t been able to get any sleep in 3 days. Fully refreshed I’ll watch the video again. 😃
Lol awesome
We all have those kinds of projects - you powered through and it looks awesome. Thanks for sharing the information about the construction and sanding waterfall edges. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for watching!
Nice work Trena. I am 71 years old and have been doing this work for 50 years. Even so I still learn new things from young whippersnappers like you. Oh yeah, Transcend too.
That is awesome!
Your ability to grain match timber and colour blend timver is so amazing, you make the most difficult tasks look easy. You knock ever piece out of the park! Your customers agree. We all have that one project at work that we aren't happy with, projects that fight us every step of the way but its these projects that truly teach us.
Thank you very much!
Excellent! You are the furniture Guru.
Mistakes are a part of life. They are what we use to learn from.
You are VERY talented! And, this piece proves it. 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you! Cheers!
The problem with so many DIY shows and RUclips channels is that they only show when everything goes as planned. For home amateurs, nothing goes as planned. I think the key to a really good channel is for the host to always think for every step, "What if they can't do it?" then explain workarounds. The point is that the best channels show everything: the good, the bad, and the ugly because they will answer the millions of questions that never get answered. All the "what ifs". That's more important than all the "know-it-all" comments.
Oh Jeez Trena! You are an artist and hardly any woodworkers watching your channel would ever dream of taking on what you do, let alone making it actually work. You don’t need to answer to us - we already think you are wonderful.
🥰
I can tell by your voice how upset you are but no need Trena. You've done a fantastic job and it looks amazing!!! Greetings from A Coruña, Spain
Thankyou❤️
I can tell you that the finished product, looked as if it was first done at the factory. The cabinet was in a masters hands. Im so glad you showed us the final product.
Dang girl! Nice recovery! 💪💥💪💥💪 💜💜💜
Like most of those who know your work, I had not one second of doubt that this would turn out beautifully. And it did.
Lesson learned on my first job: Always admit your mistakes. Thank you for telling us the full story--nice recovery! It breaks my heart when. people "upcycle" old pieces by using wood filler for missing veneer and painting the whole thing. That sideboard is fantastic.
we are always our own worst critics, especially when you spend a lot of time so close to the work. A day later and a second look always seems to give a better appraisal. Your finished product looks really fine.
Thankyou
You did just fine Trena! 🤗 Don't let negativity get you down, ignore the back seat drivers!💝
When things started to not go the way you had hoped, my husband said 'Trena will make it look great and get it all worked out." He was SO right! Good job Trena! We knew you could do it!!
❤️❤️❤️
Ok you’re right. In the middle of this project it was hard to visualize how those patches would work in, but your hands preformed miracles and it looks flawless! Well done.. the recovery is remarkable!
Yes! Thank you!
Szkoda, że nie ma całego filmu. Dobrze jest podpatrywać pracę Mistrzów !
Efekt końcowy wspaniały!
Zdrowia i powodzenia Szanownej Pani życzę.
Thankyou to you as well.
Darn Lady, I would have cried when I saw that piece with the top like shredded wheat. I thought the only thing you could do is to take all the veneer off the top and replace it, in one piece. There you were talking so nonchalantly, whereas I would have known I was bound to fail. Doing that much repair would never work. I guess that is the difference from me and your years and years experience. I remain shocked that you even attempted it.
You knocked it out of the park with the bases loaded. Thanks.
Thanks so much! 🥰🥰
Dont worry about things Trena! I magician doesnt reveal his tricks or it doesnt continue to be magic! As long as you and the customer are happy with the end results, then its all good.
I appreciate all the hard work you put into a piece whether its restoring or just cleaning it up a bit. You put 100% of yourself into every project and when things start to go sideways, like this piece, its better to stop filming and concentrate all your efforts into getting the piece where it needs to be.
Thank you for getting us photos of the end results! It looks gorgeous!❤
Thankyou very much!
You hit a GRAND SLAM TRENA! Never mind just out of the park but a GRAND SLAM! Bravo👏👏👏👏👏👏
Magic in the Master’s Hand….! Kudos !
In a time where everyone posts their oh so perfect work on social media, it's nice to be reminded that making beautiful things can be difficult and stressful. Thank you for this! Truly inspiring. Now tell her to get that dusty yucky TV off your beautiful finish!
lol
Just want to say, your channel has made me fall in love with antiques. You really do things right, now when I watch other channels it annoys me when they don't do certain things
Thankyou. I am half to hear that. I really want people to see how beautiful they can be
Your first obligation is to your customer and TRUE supporters will understand that. If you feel like you need to stop recording to concentrate on getting the quality result you need to then that is the right thing to do. If someone does not understand that then they have not been in a similar situation. I know there have been several times building something I get frustrated and just walk away as I know if I keep going I am going to make a bigger mess. Trena, you have taught me so much with your videos and in fact so much that we have expanded our business to doing furniture repairs and minor restorations. So thank you for being you and never stop being that!
Wow. Thankyou friend🥰
Unless in the next vid, you walk on water, not sure how you can top this for difficulty overcome by skill and dertermination. Couldn't even see your patches on the final footage. You ROCK, Trena. Even with the missing footage, thanks for sharing this amazing save.
Thankyou so much!
Lemons to lemonade! Turned out fantastic!
You know, it's really helpful for us amateurs to know that the pros make mistakes and aren't happy with how things go. We can learn a lot from watching someone fix the things that go wrong. I would have liked to see the footage of how you blended those patches in.
Yea me too
Honestly, it's helpful, sometimes, that it DIDN'T go as planned. As someone who is beginning their journey, to see someone as skilled as you (I've been watching you for a while) make wrong decisions or have something not work out as planned is encouraging. Not that it was fun watching you struggle but the fact that even if you make mistakes you can sometimes correct them. As a newbie, it's too easy to throw in the towel and give up on a piece.
"Trust the process" as they say.
If the process isn't working, "plot twist!" and continue on
Thank you for showing us the good and the bad. It's more helpful than you know.
You are so welcome! 🥰
Trena, don’t be so hard on yourself. We all have made mistakes on projects, but in The end you knocked it out of the park! 😊
Super job........beautiful........take a breath.......bravo.........thought to take away, you didn't quit. It turned out excellent. Everyone needs to see we all go through ups and downs........but.... we don't stop, we're like a Timex watch......we just keep on tickin. Very proud of you lil grasshopper. {I'm almost 76 and my Timex is still tickin, when I'm dead, it'll probably stop. LOL}
🥰
Dang Trina! If your customer only knew what you went through. But, like you said, you knocked it out of the park in the end. It looks amazing! You are a master at what you do and it's OK to make mistakes. You figured it out.
Thanks!
Oh my goodness...are you saying you're not perfect? Life is a reflection of this project. Go on!
Lol well no I just made bad decisions.
Don’t knock yourself sweetheart. You made the right decision. We all know what you can do,it ended up a fantastic job. Stay safe. Bless. 🙏🏻❤️
You are the best
The only thing I see wrong is the TV hiding a beautiful job
Always love your work Trenna.
I admire your honesty and integrity when "dealing" with difficult projects and finishes.
Give "Shop 🐕 dog " a big hug from me. 💖🐕💛✨️💖
Will do🥰
