Big congratulations on this amazing journey. As a former VERY satisfied former customer, I’d love to bring you more pieces I’ve rescued. I send my love to your dad, the genius behind my previous work, and my very best to you, Trena.
Your temporary work home does look great! I was worried for you at first but you’ve really carved out a decent amount t of space to work! Congrats Trena!! Things are looking up. So excited for you!
The temporary shop looks great. As you say, you make it work. I am very glad you took time to rest. Without health, nothing else is doable. You must make yourself the priority. That being said, I am looking so forward to the upcoming projects. They all look interesting.
Thank you for showing that old cabinetry, peg board, vintage tables, etc. are still usable and work perfectly to hold your stuff. Usually these "fix up your workspace" videos show brand-new purchases that, of course, look great but are very expensive.
Grasshoppers, as symbols, generally represent freedom, independence, courage, and a leap of faith. As a creature that leaps forward, it is often associated with progress and moving ahead in life. Their ability to fly high in the sky also symbolizes ambition and achieving one’s goals.
Good to see & hear from you.🎉❤ people support you because of your big heart & the great care you take of us at your shop. Your shop & work reflects your heart. Hope your dad is doing good…so good to see him with you🥰🥰🥰I’m so proud of all the resilience you have shown & I’m very happy things seem to be working out with that company 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Trena, well, I recognize how life goes... it's a journey and a new chapter. I know there's a lot of hard things you are dealing with, but I like how you were able to find a positive way through very challenging situations (to say the least!) and able to move forward with what you have. I am thrilled to see you back in the shop working on projects.
Glad to see you up and running again Trenna. A difficult time for you, but you have sailed through much to everybody's delight. Looking forward to seeing the amazing work you do.
Yay! I can't tell you how excited I was to see a new video!!! Can hardly wait to see you back at work. This garage will do for now, don't let it frustrate you. The new shop will be grand. Love to you and yours.
Lovely Trena!! Excited with you and looking forward to watching things move in a good direction for your new Shop!! And, can't wait to see the furniture wiz do her thing with fixing furniture ❤❤ beautiful leather gifts 👍🏼🙏🏼🥰
It is great to see things turning out well for you. Your shop looks great, nicely organized, looks to have decent work flow set up, looking forward to seeing some of those famous restoration/ repair videos you put out. Thanks for the update, as always, enjoyed watching.
So glad you took some time for yourself and got some much needed rest. Before you can take care of the business you must take care of yourself. Here’s to a wonderful future!❤❤
I saw that its been unseasonably hot there. It takes a lot to set up a workshop and be happy with it. Soon you will be restoring that gorgeous furniture again. Prayers to you and yours. Thank you for sharing.👍
You have a rug in your shop; how classy! Well done to get a workable shop shoe-horned in to a very small space. And good to see Shop Dog helping. I'm really looking forward to seeing your new shop space when it is ready. Very best wishes to you and your family.
Trena, we just donated to your Go-Fund Me...we watch you from the USA and so happy that you are on this amazing journey. God Bless you and your family ♥....Richard and Nena Crowne
7/28/24...retrofit a 'new' workspace video today, great job! Wow, you got Lots of (necessary) stuff! Great lighting in that 'new' shop! Gotta have it & maybe more too! Anxious to see you back fixing & painting very soon! Stay safe & carry on!👍🔧⚙️🖌🚶♀️
So pleased to hear things are turning around for you. Your subscribers are awesome! But then so are you and your family. Way to go getting your "shop" set up so you can work until you real shop is up and running. Congratulations, happy to hear the old building company has seen the error of their ways and are willing to work with you.
Wow and congratulations! I know you're excited about getting back to your normal life. You've had quite a lot of craziness to deal with for way to long! So happy things are finally coming together! Can't wait for your next video! Blessings to you and your family always! 😊❤
Good to know Trena!! Happy to have you back to this amazing job!! Good bless your New shop! For sure you're a winner!! Let's go ahead together, as always!!! Big Hug!!!
Here's hoping you remember where everything is! I would probably spend far too much time trying to find the new places I stored stuff. The shop looks great. 👍👍👍
Trena: boy ,- boy,- all the work that has gone into making this whole thing come together is so full of good energy. You can just feel it. Although, you are dealing with a smaller space, it looks super organized for the work at hand. And just think, you can see what works and what doesn’t for the new shop to come. Oh,- this is so exciting. Thank you. Carol from California
The garage It looks like a pretty functional workshop now. It should work well enough until you get your permanent shop built. Congratulations. Step #1 is complete. Now you can breathe a sigh of relief. And it's also great that so many people donated to the GoFundme. That should really did you out of a hole financially.
Trena, I’m very excited for you. So glad things are working out. I wish I lived closer to you. I have a very old cherry side table that could use your magic touch. But since it’s in ok shape I can just leave it as it is.
Hi there Trenna! 🤗 I am so proud of you! You deserve a HUGE congratulations on completing the "new shop." Lol! You have worked so hard and the hard work has turned your house into a home and your garage into a workplace. Now, let's get your horse (I'm sorry I can't remember it's name) over there and it will really be a space that you love living. Take care my friend! 🙏,
Hi Trena, good job on the organizing and cleaning up, I'm anxious for that little 1/2 moon table project, I have one the same that was left by the previous home owners and it could use a refresh....Take care...cheers !!!
Thank you for the update Trena. I am so glad things are looking up for you, and I look forward to seeing you back to work. Sending good vibes and virtual hugs. ❤
Trena, I just used the link. I hope you pull through this. And amazed at all the outpouring and kindnes; its infectious! Looking forward to new shop and new repairs!
I don’t know what I would do if I hadn’t found your channel! Don’t ever stop doing what you do! I dream of having an organized work space for my hobbies. I’m so excited to see your new shop!
I cannot define what it is that makes you so special among the ocean of RUclips content creators, but I can recognize that you ARE special. I continue to wish you all the best as you persevere and endure and share your gifts with us. Art such as yours is to be celebrated and enjoyed by all.
Nice layout for the shop. I really like your strategically hanging the furniture dollies beside the door. They are ready and able to facilitate moving pieces into and out the door. I also have a small desk by the door. I call it my service writers desk. This way it is easy to complete the necessary paperwork immediately as a piece comes in or goes out the door.
Looks like you are set to open tomorrow on the !st! So thrilled for you and so happy things are turning out the way they should. Blessings and thank you for sharing all you do. God bless. Anxious to see what you work on next.............best channel ever!!
Trena ... It's So great to hear the relief & joy in your voice & see the pure happiness radiating from your person! Since I'm now a Senior, I could not afford a donation, but just know, I've been praying hard for your success ... Hopefully, it contributed somehow. Congratulations on the progress so far!! I'm really looking forward to the new shop & lots more videos ... 👏💥✨🕊💞💯
Keep going Trena! It's a joy to see you get the support you deserve. It's wonderful to see you thriving, despite the setbacks. Your future looks bright! Can't wait to see the new projects. Take care,
Man Trena you are supposed to be on holiday, but to be honest you’re as busy as a two headed cat in a creamery. Everyone is so proud of you and your accomplishments. You are an inspiration to those of us, especially me that would cave under the pressure. I only wish I were closer. I have a lot of woodworking tools I’d donate. Speaking of that I did donate to the fund to help with your shop. You are an institution of higher learning. I dare say everyone that’s seen your videos loves you, your mom & dad. It’s easy to see where you got your work ethic. You have some big shoes to fill but you are more than up to the task. How would we send something via mail? I have an awesome print I would love to send you. ❤😊
I am so glad to see you are feeling well enought to get started on unpacking. Hope things get better for you and your family. Looks like they have. I want to wish you many years of success and happiness in your new building .🎉🎉🎉
I am glad everything is set for you to go back to work, and cannot wait to see new projects! Although I am not a woodworker, many things I've seen you do inspire me to make changes in my house, improve my home environment. The way you love your work is a joy to watch! You ARE special, and probably have no idea on the big positive impact you have. Big hug from Sao Paulo, Brazil
@@johnsfurniturerepair whenever you want to come over and visit Brazil, I'll happily show you around! You will probably see new kinds of wood around here.
Congratulations! You have a floor, you can walk around rather than climb over. The sections are organised and in a couple of days the sign can be flipped to OPEN. There may be some tweaking, but it is looking good and will keep you going until the next needed organisation. At least that one won't be a forced and sudden downsizing. I wonder if there be a fight, er discussion, over this space now that it is insulated. Music Room, Teenage Retreat, storage room, garage, or something else. I am so glad you took some "me time" and gave yourself a bit of a holiday as well. It's a very important part of life that often gets shoved to the side. I wish I could have helped more on the Go Fund Me, but you have my prayers, virtual hugs and very grateful thanks. With the quick glance at the work you have on hand, I found myself being most excited to see the work on the smallest 3 pieces, the plant stand and the two small tables. Looking forward to the grand opening of August 2024.
You must be reaching the end of your physical labor on the new shop you look so much better (not that you could look bad) in your previous video you looked exhausted your eyes were dull, back to brighter! Thanks for keeping us in the loop through your process!
I'm very Happy in seeing you get back to work after this set back. I see you are in a much happier place now and that makes us happy for you also , we're as excited as you are to finally get the new shop moving along ,and your able to work now while that's being done ,daily prayers are sent your way for your peace of mind
I have one just like it - tho it's the original leather and wood- never painted. The leather is so thin and brittle. The inside is decorated in the original lithographs. I am looking forward to this one !!!!
Big congratulations on this amazing journey. As a former VERY satisfied former customer, I’d love to bring you more pieces I’ve rescued. I send my love to your dad, the genius behind my previous work, and my very best to you, Trena.

Let the Wood Whispering begin 🎉😊👍💪!! Great job. More to come, so happy for you.

yes, I like the character of older cabinets. they are masters at their jobs
It’s like watching a sculptor setting up to create wonderful pieces to be appreciated throughout somebody’s life

"back to business. back to business!!" Seeing George Steinbrenner slams his fist down on his desk as Costanza walks away.
lol
Watching you and your Dad work side by side got me a little misty eyed. Good medicine..

You have a floor, you can walk around rather than climb over. The sections are organised and in a couple of days the sign can be flipped to OPEN. There may be some tweaking, but it is looking good and will keep you going until the next needed organisation. At least that one won't be a forced and sudden downsizing.

Lovely to see and hear that progress is being made. Excited to see new content.
Thank you!
Wow You are a Jane of All Trades Looks Great
Simply Amazing!
Love your videos. I can't wait to see that steamer trunk worked on, it really sings to me black Pyrate heart!
lol
I have one just like it - tho it's the original leather and wood- never painted. The leather is so thin and brittle. The inside is decorated in the original lithographs. I am looking forward to this one !!!!
