I agree with Allyson Day, this logo and the name of your shop, says nothing about you. Somewhere it should let people know that it’s YOU that does the work, that it’s your skill that has accomplished such amazing work.
How cool is the logo thing. I’ve been making furniture for 50 years and someone finally gave me a birthday present of a Branding iron with my name and hand made by me. It is a thrill that after 50 years, finally see my name on the furniture I’m making. I could burn it in the back in the bottom of the drawer anywhere I want. It is pretty cool just want to say I feel your joy. And the amazing beautiful work that you are and do thank you so much for hours of very informative and enjoyable repair work. you’re the best.
It's definitely a good idea to leave your name on your work. There is something delightful about finding history in a piece and you work on so many pieces that will last a LONG time. Love the coaster!
Honoring your dad is so awesome. Your awesome work also deserves recognition in your name. Maybe both could be incorporated. Love your videos and look forward to them all.
Brass, for sure. No worms will eat your label, ever! And definitely with the Restored By so people know that you didn’t actually build it but restored it and that will give it its history. Lucky you to have such a nice laser!
Okaaaay....in the first few minutes I thought, when did Trena get hairy tatooed arms???? I love that you're going to stamp your work for posterity! Your customers deserve that and your skilled work deserves to be memorialized. Now, hmmmmm.....you should approach your favorite merchant of lathes and see if they will sponsor a new one for you , lol :)
I fully agree. I make cutting boards for family members. plus I build tables and cabinets for my wife in her gym .Also I built her a sewing cabinet and a dressing make up table. I have a branding iron that I burn strips of cedar with my icon and who it was built by. Sandra says that some day when I am long gone some one some where will pick up a wooden piece and say, " oh look, it is an original Peterson". Probably not but I think you should get credit for all the beautiful work you do.
Congratulations on the sweet acquisition, Trena!! I was fortunate enough to be gifted with a similar unit a while ago and I love it. I engrave my logo, the piece number and the website address on all my pieces. Here's a tip for your viewers, If you are engraving cutting boards, different woods will burn at different rates and depth.
The laser can also be used to create thin layers (3-4 mm thick) of scrollwork, such as you repaired in the previous video. Say, you have a corner missing, well, break out the laser and, voila, scrollwork recreated. I am talking from experience because I cut laser products all the time. If you can design it, you can create it, and this is not an oversimplification. Good luck with the laser. You will not be disappointed.
Imagine what it would be like to have your personal logo on a piece of handmade furniture that in a hundred years someone restoring saw and could recall your hard work and dedication. 👍👍
Beautiful ... and great idea. One suggestion: while the "fade" on the "J" is an intersting detail in print, it may look to some like a deficient burn on wood. Maybe go a little deeper? I enjoy watching talented people perform. Love your channel!
Having seen the quality of the work you do and the length you go to restore your clients treasures, history deserves to know who did it! As we have seen manufacture's labels, your label works right in with them.
Absolutely a must for people to see in the future just how good you are at restoration. The next generation will be coming back to you in your eighties! 😂😂 I always add such a label (not wood) to any quilt I make.
Very excited for you and think this will be a great addition to your shop! It looks like it would be able to be moved about so that you could, for example, lay it on the back of a dresser and etch your image directly onto a piece. Does the software allow you to scan images into it and then engrave them. I could see adding the image of a relative or pet, etc., to a piece as a cool way to personalize things for clients. It will be fun to see you explore the use of this tool.
That is nice and it leaves your logo for people to view who made it and looks more professional when done . I love the end product. Good for them taking you into consideration that way one sees who made the end product.
You probably already know this, but when you have a furniture with a lamination missing, you can scan the area to a computer and cut your lamination (to fill in) exactly to the size and shape needed to fix it. This includes odd shapes and angles, otherwise hard to cut by hand.
This is perfect. Just the thing you have been needing to do! Hope you choose to include the date and location most times- history will remember you well for documenting your beautiful work.
I have been watching all those pieces of furniture with the chalk markings on the back and wondering if you would one day mark them yourself. Brilliant idea as a master craftsperson should always sign his/her work. I agree with others that you should add your own id or signature as well. Adding your history to the piece.
Nice coaster, I would like one!! Good job on the review. I’ve been looking for printers/carvers/lasers for a few years now. I’m glad I waited. This is perfect for what I want to do. May I suggest adding a “Restored for clientname by John’s Furniture Repair”. You can blur the clientname for the camera.
Once upon a time there was a gifted craftsman who made the most incredible products anyone had ever seen or used. Word increased about how amazing his products were and yet sales did not increase. People looked, but simply could not find or identify his products. Why? Because his products were not marked! The moral of this story is; “If it is worth making, it is worth marking”
could you use it to cut out patches of damaged veneer, and the replacement patch to glue back in, you could make the shape quite complex to follow the grain, and know that the matching patch was exactly the right shape
SUPER COOL! I've been thinking "label it" for some time also. The logo you did looks great! Wood labels are fine where appropriate. /// Thoughts>: 1) Label needs beyond "John's Furniture Repair": "Restoration by Trena Reynolds (date - at LEAST the year), Ontario, Canada." REASON: Beyond your dad's shop, there dozens of other John's Furniture Repair/Refinishing/etc. 2) REALLY CLASSY are thin brass labels. REASON: termite proof, rot proof, easier for delicate or small pieces. Definately need a brass label for that INCREDIBLE clock restoration you did. Attach brass labels with tiny brass brads. Will email an "sketch"☺
That will be a great addition to your business. Like the deeper burn. You could look at a shape to match the piece you just finished with your logo on it, just a thought. Thanks for the video young lady, appreciate it.
You can permanently label your work for next to nothing, as follows: 1. Sand the area where the label will be. 2. Clearly write your label onto the wood with a graphite pencil. Graphite will not fade. 3. Cover the label with a permanent finish, such as polyurethane. This will prevent the graphite from smearing.
Oh wow! How fabulous! Oh my goodness yes your name should on every piece of furniture you restore. I love it!!!! I love your little coaster too. That is pretty sweet! So awesome and I am so excited for you. God bless 😊
Add Restoration by Trena to the logo. Artisans sign their pieces, think Murano glass. . Either directly on the piece, or a small metal tag . Years from now, someone will find your name on the piece, and look up the business. By then, with any luck at all, it’ll be a third generation . Let me dream, even for a moment.
I would suggest that if you were going to make a cut out you do it in the shape of a commemorative plaque like a shield shape. It does add a touch of class to putting your name one the repair.
Great stuff! Big game changer. Possibilities are endless. Nice little love gift for you lol - I restore and customize sneakers as a side job and I tell you, all these little gadgets are priceless. You could even laser scroll designs into trim with that machine.
Pew Pew Pew... A "LASER" beam... LOL... I like the cute coffee coaster... I'll bet that will become a hot seller on your merchandise if you choose to sell it, but then you might not get any other work done. so I think your idea adding a tag line or something with your name would be great if you want to have it as part the history of who actually did the work, otherwise it might be confusing to read John's Furniture Repair but John didn't do the work... like so many things in history there are layers and the first layer isn't as interesting as the rest of the story, unless that's the thing you're going for to make people dig for the details? I think anyone that does that sort of research will find all the connections anyway... we've seen you do this kind of research on your channel. Anyway, it's exciting to see how this laser engraver works, and how you adapt it over time.
Deberías compartirlo urgentemente con tu Padre, seguro que quedará gratamente impresionado. Claro le harás algunos medallones y él que los adjunte según su criterio. Bravo por ti. Saludos desde España.
Personally, I’d go with maybe a brass plate to attach to the inside of a drawer rather then engraving the piece itself. Especially with an heirloom or antique as it could impact its value.
@@johnsfurniturerepair I think a brass plate would be more professional too. Maybe not leave so much space between the words and date or have a dash in there. Not too much empty space around the logo either so maybe keep it rectangular. Very exciting.
So glad to see you so happy and trying some whiz-bang new technology that will promote your business and you!! I see that you are at 50k subscribers!!! That is amazing! You’ll be getting your 100k plaque from RUclips in no time! Thanks for sharing your work with us! 😊. Just a thought… “Restored at John’s Furniture Repair by Tryna” ? (Sorry if I misspelled your name!)
I think you should have the date as well. I know you restored old furniture but it had no indication when it was made. And of course always wear eye protection. A brief reflection off a piece of metal that you have to be looking at might cause permanent retinal damage.
Can you use this new equipment to make designs and cut out handles and knobs? You could really personalize the piece. Maybe that could be an upgrade to offer your customers. Thanks for posting the vid. 😃
Just wondering if something like this could be configured to remove finishes. If so that sure would cut down on the work and landfill of the strippers.
If you did a repair for me, I would want to have your signature on the piece which would be easy for the laser to do. I love your logo and the fact that it honors your father but I would want the inherited piece to also include your signature as the artist who restored it, and that is exactly what you are. People who collect sports cards do so based on the signature of the player, not the name of the team. Your dad should also have his signature on the pieces he restores. That would be lovely.
I agree with your decision to go with an engraved plaque I could see some old grouch having a fit if you upgrade their furniture I'm sure you will find many uses for it,. P.S. Do you know that old saying you can't teach an old dog new tricks being that I'm pushing 80 and I've been doing woodwork for 60 years I have picked up several good hints and procedures from your great videos thanks again
I noticed the capital J had some gaps in the letter. Did the laser hiccup or is it a software issue or is it just this thing is not yet ready for prime time?
Cool Beans! And less pricey than I assumed it would be. But I think I'll just stick to hand wood burning my garden veggie markers. The only problem is that now I know how easily they could be made to look amaaaaaazing.
@@johnsfurniturerepair*manufacturing / marketing / shipping / inventory / customer service* I don't know if at the end of my work day I can muster that kind of motivation!
Great idea to use this tech, BUT, please watch Makers Muse latest video on non-enclosure laser engravers. Angus has the credentials to speak to this as you'll learn. The video discusses the proliferation of these units, and manufacturers lack of proper safety warnings and procedures regarding an open frame. Their cavalier advertising, (the industry, not Creality specifically), suggests "just plug it in and you're off to the races" is dangerous. You may have already educated yourself on the hazards but you may feel the need to mention it to viewers who might not educate themselves and purchase one. You also have pets in the shop which is an important consideration. Really enjoy watching your channel and don't want anything but the best for you and yours. I guess I should sign this... Love, Karen Haha
Lol. Thanks Rick. I actually did watch that because I was worried about shop dog. She gets kicked out of the shop when it’s in use. I guess I should have gone into safety more. Cheers!
Love the new idea, have you ever considered using Restoration rather than Repair. Just a thought. And I agree that you should use your name somewhere in their because of your talent as a woman.
That’s so exciting for you! But can I ask a question? What if the owners don’t want anything like that on there piece? Do you ask them first? I’m just curious.
You do great work and if you were in my area I would not hesitate to let you work on my furniture. BUT if you (or anyone else) burned your name directly into my item without asking first....it would be the last time you would see me. I'm fine with a sticker or even a small plaque that could be removed but altering by etching, burning or otherwise permanently marking is not cool. Just my $ .02 and I may be a mutant for thinking this way but we're out here.
I was going to pull the trigger on a big Omron laser cutter but I may try to bankroll it with one of these so I'm not out of pocket so much to start. I'd be interested to know how well it does etching and cutting acrylic.

😂

What an awesome tool! With the quality of the work you do, your name should be on every piece so everyone knows the artisan. You Go Girl!

I bet that this will help with cutting odd shaped veneers, templates, and things like that?
The laser is really nice. Glad to see you using it. So impressed with your skill and knowledge. Best wishes.
Imagine what it would be like to have your personal logo on a piece of handmade furniture that in a hundred years someone restoring saw and could recall your hard work and dedication. 👍👍
What a nice addition to your shop. I think the engraved plaque is a wonderful idea! Love it.
I think so too!
Your work deserves to become part of the piece! Thanks for sharing your new tool.

At first, I thought the laser was going to be for removing old finishes, like those hand-held laser guns that blast rust and old paint off metal.
That is cool Trina. What a great idea to place your logo and or name on each restoration. You all take care and God bless.
Greetings from the BIG SKY. Documenting the restoration of a piece of wood is a REAL good idea that should have been done 50 years ago.
That is nice and it leaves your logo for people to view who made it and looks more professional when done . I love the end product. Good for them taking you into consideration that way one sees who made the end product.
Ok based on what you demonstrated I just bought one. I’m an amateur luthier and the engraving would be perfect for my instruments, thanks Trena.
Hope it works great for you.
You probably already know this, but when you have a furniture with a lamination missing, you can scan the area to a computer and cut your lamination (to fill in) exactly to the size and shape needed to fix it. This includes odd shapes and angles, otherwise hard to cut by hand.

could you use it to cut out patches of damaged veneer, and the replacement patch to glue back in, you could make the shape quite complex to follow the grain, and know that the matching patch was exactly the right shape
might take more time than just cutting it out by hand but maybe
Super Trena goes High Tech.
One more piece to join the electric machines on the shop.
You definitely need to use that. Work to beautiful not to know who created that. Music always so peaceful❤❤❤

look into the best possible supplies for the label. with your label, your history will go on!
So cool! Do you get to keep it? Hope so. You did a great video about it. Should generate sales for them. Well done Trena!
Yep
You can permanently label your work for next to nothing, as follows:
1. Sand the area where the label will be.
2. Clearly write your label onto the wood with a graphite pencil. Graphite will not fade.
3. Cover the label with a permanent finish, such as polyurethane. This will prevent the graphite from smearing.
Seems like that method would be vulnerable to damage over time.

Not really. It’s only for thinner flat materials
well, the dead and gone part should be put aside for a long time, but your work is magnificent and having it identified for all time is fantastic
Yes thankyou
Very cool. Your video was a good ad for this adult toy. I want one!
A handy tool indeed. I wonder if it might come in handy some time during repairs, for example to cut complicated bits of replacement veneer.
maybe

Thanks
embossed gold metal tag.
It looks good Trena, nice logo. Nice touch for your work.

great, glad to help!
That was incredible to watch. I wouldn't recommend for valuable pieces as it might devalue the piece.
Very cool and love the Princess Leia bun motif! ;0)
Canada blue eyed girl back great video .
I think the laser logo is a fantastic idea. But why is there blank spaces in the large J?
Just a design choice
I noticed the capital J had some gaps in the letter. Did the laser hiccup or is it a software issue or is it just this thing is not yet ready for prime time?
Design choice
Wow, that’s really something!
Lasers are fun. One suggestion, ask the owner of the piece if they are okay with your engraving on their piece.
Oh for sure
Cool Beans! And less pricey than I assumed it would be. But I think I'll just stick to hand wood burning my garden veggie markers.
The only problem is that now I know how easily they could be made to look amaaaaaazing.
lol, ya its a nice tool for sure. maybe make lots of veggie labels and sell them!

I was going to pull the trigger on a big Omron laser cutter but I may try to bankroll it with one of these so I'm not out of pocket so much to start. I'd be interested to know how well it does etching and cutting acrylic.
Trena has a new toy🤗
Jesus.
For a while I thought I was seeing Star Wars!
Was it Princess Trena?
Lol
Ah, ah, ah that was a Mac screensaver not a laser. 😂😂 Very cool tool. Thank you.
John’s furniture repair by Trena ‘ last name’… 😀
Nice idea
OOOOH, I want a couple coasters.... What is that going to take?
I’m working on it. Lol I’ll let you all know when I have a Bunch made.
Great entry! Trena has gone hi-tech. But what does shop-dog think? (;-)
Lol. She’s not sure
Cool! Onwards and upwards.
Nothing so fun as a new toy! And a cool one too.
