1/2/22; another great job disassembling & cleaning that string weave top stool. Thought you would not pull out those tiny pin nails...but yur patients & determination is clearly much better than my grab/pull/slam/cut/(swear)/drill/grind 'good-ole-boy' burn-it-out method. Also wanted you to put each spindle into some slow turning lathe, or other device, to make cleaning & polishing those detailed turned depths easier/faster than all that wrist bending you did. Besides, we tool- centric armchair viewers could have seen more of your shop tools & how you quickly(?) clean, sand & polish numerous tubular elements of spindle chairs, stools or other round pieces. Your experience cleaning up this stool came out perfect! That weaving on the top was amazing too! Another great job! Send us more videos! Always enjoy watching your furniture transformations.👍👍👍😊🛠🍷
I'm an instrument repairman and I have learned a lot watching your refinish and touch-up techniques... Really helps when restoring the finish on orchestral stringed instruments...Thanks for the info.
When she was wrapping the seat of the chair she brought back memories of my grandmother. Back in The DR. she used to wrapped chairs, seats and other things with rope; That was made out of Palms trees leaves.
Good people don't need laws to compel them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws, how good, see your highly form every video, congratulations
I love watching you patiently do the dismantle, repairs and then seeing the weaving was a bonus. Thanks for filming it and explaining why you do things. I have learned so much!
YOU ARE REMINDING ME OF A REPAIR MY MOTHER DID ON THE DRESSER I USED AS A KID. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO REMOVE THAT REPAIR TO REGLUE IT PROPERLY. GLUE WAS ALL SHE NEEDED BACK THEN, BUT SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DO ANY FURNITURE REPAIR AT ALL. HER REPAIR LASTED, BUT I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT NOW - GLUE~ HERE'S A NEAT BIT OF INTO ABOUT THE PIECE. THE PIECE (DRESSER) IS ORORIGINAL TO THE HOUSE I GREW UP IN.
I love your videos and your attention to detail. I learn something new every time! I didn't grow up in this business and trying to learn has been trial and error, until I found you and Thomas Johnson. You are both master craftsman!❤️ Thank-you for sharing your talent!
Really well done. The customer must have been ecstatic with the results. Really cool that you can provide furniture restoration and chair seat weaving in one place.
I like to watch just to see what you do with a broken-down piece of furniture. And I can see you take pride and your hard work in your shop to make things beautiful again. Beautiful job as always.
I really liked the part in the middle where you did some side-by-side comparisons. Your pieces always turn out beautifully, but having it side by side like that really helped to emphasis the transformation of the stool.
Another great job. I would have thrown it away. Another case of wished I could have seen the look on your clients face when they came for it. Hope you have a Happy and safe New Year from Pennsylvania.
Hi Trena, love watching all of your repairs. Maybe when you edit your video, at the end you could put a before and after picture of your pieces? Love your work 👍
One trick to get small pin nails out is to dull the tip of a pair of flush cut side cutters then cut small serrations into it so it will grip instead cut. You want a tool that is fine enough to grab the smallest bit of a nail sticking out but without the ability to cut it which is the major problem this modification fixes.
Another beautiful restore, Trena. And your friend weaving is amazing to watch (I loved how Shop Dog was “supervising”, although it looked like she thought it might be a game too? lol). Just saw as I was commenting you posted a new video. Yay!💜
I often wonder why people love to watch my curtain making videos but I realise I love to watch other people ply their skills particularly those I don't possess so I guess I've answered my own question there 😁 I'm particularly impressed by your skill of blending in new repairs. So absorbing to watch 👍
I have several chairs and stalls that need that particular weave on top. Sadly where I live there are no weavers left so I will have to teach myself off of RUclips in order to redo the seats. The only thing other option that I know of is to strap the seat firmly and put foam and upholstery wadding then covering over with material. Your friend doing the weaving is very good.
Almost 9000 views but very few likes by comparison. Please ! Remember to hit the like button folks , these terrific videos and this very talented woman deserves the support . Happy , healthy 2022 everyone 😁
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from me in Australia to you and your family hope you had a beautiful Christmas and New Year ...LOVE watching your videos, God Bless...
For us who know ZERO about repairing and refinishing furniture maybe you can tell the cost to bring back the furniture from the land fill or fire pile. Thank you for sharing your skills, it is very interesting to watch craftmanship at its finest....
Ok that's a very cool trick with twisting out those nails! Thanks. Also thinking I'll try that Crud cutter stuff. Figure if both you and Tom J are using it, it's gotta be good.
Trena I did some checking and found out that a weekend seminar from 9-4 Sat and Sun can run as much as 400.00 dollars and they can bring a small project to work on. I'm sure you would be a fantastic instructor and you can charge what you fill is a fair price if you ever decide to hold seminars
For little nails like that I try to use little needle nose Vice Grips. The side cutter pliers can snip the nail. With horrible directions and a few tries I redid the weaving on four rush seats, and they still look good😂
I love watching your videos and this one caught my eye as you just cleaned the stool with Krud Kutter and then used Howards Bees Was Polish. Now I know how to clean my dinning room chairs and table. Thank so much for great videos.
I hope you give talks to kids, especially female students on the possibilities of alternative careers for females. You make a fantastic role model besides producer of great videos. Thank you and your parents .
Trena, you are a true craftswomen . Always impressed with the detailed work that you do. For removing small Brad nails have you tried driving them in farther with a small punch !
I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I'd like more reactions clips from the owners at the end, with their permission of course. After all the fantastic hard work you do on the journey, it's so satisfying to see a happy customer's smile and tears.
Hi, that little chair came out very well. I also commented on your video "The customers cried when they saw this one" from Aug 23, 2021. I don't know if you check the older videos or how that works, but I was wondering if you could give me a retailer for the plastic pieces that ride in the middle runner of the larger drawers? I'm restoring a dresser set and some of them are broken and I can't find them anywhere to purchase.
Thanks Trena, walking those nails out was worth the price of admission! Take care.
Jealous of your clamp collection. lol :)

Thank you!
Slick tip on removing a screw in a damaged hole, as well the dowel twist to remove pin nails. Thanks.
indeed! this is why i love watching masters of their trade - i always learn some brilliant tips!
"Walking the dowel"....I've learned a new restoration term.

Lovely work.
Beautiful work!
Just WOW! Thanks for sharing your excellent furniture rehab adventures!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It came out great!
Wow so pretty.
Sometimes in cases like this, you could drill a small hole into the joint and use a syringe to shoot some glue into the joint.
i feel its should keep in museum.
“It’s a beautiful thing” you do Trena.
Thanks!
Thanks god I don’t anything broke in my home because after I watched your videos i want how work in my home do job like that only

I'm an old dog but still learning new tricks from you....Great video...
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful job both yours on the stool and your friend on the wrapping.
I really liked the part in the middle where you did some side-by-side comparisons. Your pieces always turn out beautifully, but having it side by side like that really helped to emphasis the transformation of the stool.
Thankyou!
Happy New Year! great job as usual. I can't live without my Krud Cutter

Happy New year!

You would have to call your local repair shop. My prices are only relevant to people who live in my service area. Cheers!
Ok that's a very cool trick with twisting out those nails! Thanks. Also thinking I'll try that Crud cutter stuff. Figure if both you and Tom J are using it, it's gotta be good.
You will love it
Wow! So nice!
super louse dowel ends can be sliced down the middle on a bandsaw then a slightly oversized spline can be used to make it a bit larger

Used to teach at lee valley before covid. I’ll probably start up again after the world returns to normal. Cheers!
Wow you are amazing and you know how to handle wood,And get the colour right really cool
Thanks Wayne

That hot pink top is a great color for you! Excellent work as usual 😘
Thankyou!
I love watching and learning all about how to repair
Trena, you are a true craftswomen . Always impressed with the detailed work that you do. For removing small Brad nails have you tried driving them in farther with a small punch !
Yes, it works maybe 20% of the time. But it’s a hood method. Cheers!
I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I'd like more reactions clips from the owners at the end, with their permission of course. After all the fantastic hard work you do on the journey, it's so satisfying to see a happy customer's smile and tears.
I will try to get more customers to agree. Cheers!
Hi. Have you moved to Saskatchewan yet? Love your work and miss the new stuff .❤️😊👍
Yes I have. See you back soon
Hi, that little chair came out very well. I also commented on your video "The customers cried when they saw this one" from Aug 23, 2021. I don't know if you check the older videos or how that works, but I was wondering if you could give me a retailer for the plastic pieces that ride in the middle runner of the larger drawers? I'm restoring a dresser set and some of them are broken and I can't find them anywhere to purchase.
Beautiful job! As usual
Thanks for watching
