I’ve been a painter for over 35 yrs, the work you did to that door just to paint over it again was incredible, wonderful to see someone taking there time to do it right, pleasure to see your work again on you tube.
@@johnsfurniturerepair Trena, another beautiful job! As the daughter of a professional painter I appreciate your thoroughness. A good paint job isnt possible without a complete prep job. Great work. 👍
Your tenacity to close the panel gapes without replacing the moldings is truly admirable. I'm a trim carpenter and have restored a half dozen old raised panel doors. I've always told the customer that I can't guarantee saving the old moldings. In most cases I replaced with new. Having all the milling equip it's faster for me to replace than coax movement back into the panel like you did. Good show girl,, you have so much more patient than I. Love your work. Your scope of experience and range of skill is breath taking. Your up there with the Thomas Johnson's of the restoration world.
@@melissataylor5494 As Thomas winds down his career it's great to know that there are younger finishers at Trina's level keeping the craft alive. What's so impressive to me about her is her depth of knowledge in particular her skills matching color and finish. This just take thousands of hours at the bench there really aren't any short cuts.
I can't count the number of times i grimace when I see you doing a repair in your videos that I think is wrong and then have to eat some humble pie when it turns out beautiful. Great work Trena, you inspire me.
I was wondering when you would be moving back to your Dads studio and you answered my question straight off by announcing this would be your last work in Windsor. All the best for your future endeavors. I think you worked a miracle on that door.
My favorite part is watching you do all the repairs. Sometimes you have to get pretty creative. I like both painted and natural wood. It all depends on the wood and the application. Which ever is more appropriate. It’s all good! Beautiful door! 👍🏼
I admired this door in person today and learned from your customer that it was on TH-cam. As soon as they said, "but she's no longer in Windsor" I knew right where to find it. Beautiful work, as always. I hope Saskatchewan knows what a craftsperson they gained.
Unreal night & day transformation Trena! I imagine the owners are giddy, especially after watching the work you did. I also bet you were glad to see that door gone and installed back on the domicile. It’s would be fun to see the finished product back where it belongs too. There’s a bit of a distance now between when this was done and me just now seeing it. What an adventure! What you do isn’t a job, it’s a calling with the touch of the masters hand. Bravo Trena!!!❤😊
Hey Trena, you took a door that was destined for the dumpster and restored for your customer, you are truly a master craftswomen, an artist. It doesn’t matter how the door was finished, stain , paint, varnish, whatever, it your customer’s door and they are the ones that have to love your work.
That stripper on the white paint reminds me of a relief map of snowy mountains. The customer wanted the door painted. That's fine. You did and amazing job! I think it turned out fantastic and the customer should be very pleased.
That old saying: “You can’t make a silk purse of a sow’s ear.” You proved that you can. To produce something refined, admirable, or valuable from something which is unrefined, unpleasant, or of little or no value. Tastefully done, methinks. Making mis-matched hardware fit & function with great final aesthetics; making panels fit & move as designed; priming & painting & waxing for a much more weather-resistant door. Very cool restoration and tutorial, Trena! Grazie!
Ya, I think it's nice to see a splash of colour in the shop occasionally 😂. Every time I watch a video, I say God Bless your hands Trenna. Continued success. Patricia, Dublin 🇮🇪
Hello Trena. I don't repair furniture, I build it. But watching you do your magic have given me a lot of insight and tricks to improve my woodworking skills. Many many thanks!
@25:55 I see that it is break time for the shop employees. I too enjoy working on doors. What a feeling you get after you rejuvenate what someone spent years messing up. Keep up the great work.
Wonderful job on that door! I'm grateful that you share your work in so much detail. It's a privilege to see the skill and the effort you put into achieving an end result of such quality.
WOW, If had not watched the whole video I would have said you got a new door, but you gave this old door a new lease on life. Trena you do amazing work. I love the colour you painted on the outside of this old door. You are doing fantastic work with all the fine details on those pieces you work on. I am sure the customer was very pleased with how it turned out.
Stopped in to this channel to learn just enough to strip, stain, and finish a door, polish hardware and then watched this one as well to gain some more knowledge on painted doors. Made me realize how deep this craft really is, there is so much to learn. It made my project enjoyable and much better than had I just jumped into it first. Thank you, your work is truly masterful.
The chisel work was great. The paint finish was amazing. But the panels being slid back into place was exquisitely satisfying. Loved it. The Before/After segment was good too
And this throwaway world we live in these days it would have been so much easier to discard that door and replace it with something new and modern. I'm so thankful that there are people like you who are willing still to put in the work and appreciate the character of old pieces like this.
The trees, the door and the carpenter who assembled it all say thank you for honouring them this way. In our throw away world it is a joy to see somebody who cares. I have a maple sugar shack that has walls made of incredible beat up old interior doors much like this one. In my dreams I someday find time to save their souls the way you did this one. Thank you.
Wow! Lovely, lovely, lovely! I truly love old worn and flawed pine doors and cabinetry with the natural marks and wear of age. However, I think that you gave this limping repurposed door more life than it could have had any other way. Wonderful work! Thank you for sharing!
I agree with Anthony. Your a "Pro" Trena. Your Papa taught you right, and best of all you listened to him and learned the correct way of doing things. The door turned out beautifully, proof of your patience and talent.
Great work Trena. Your attention to detail is second to none. Perhaps you can put a photo up of how the door looks when re-installed in its final place.
The amount of effort it takes to restore a piece like this vs just replacing with a new one is what makes this work really stand out. We need more of this in our lifes, not just quick fixes. Even though I work in a completely different field (healthcare), I can relate to the work done here. Thank you for the amazing job!
I continue to be impressed by your skill and attention to detail. I would have replaced that door, but you made it look better than new. Thanks for the video.
This is going to sound odd but I just love Doors! Doors, chairs and muscle cars. You've taken a beat up ugly duckling and made it a NEW old door. Beautiful.
When I was much younger (75 now) I truly wish I had been able to apprentice under your father. I just wound up as an electrician but I always had a love of furniture craftsmanship.
Why anyone would not want to see the door painted is beyond me. It is beautiful. Thank you for showing your skills Trena. Showing your skills for free. Lovely job.
That's the bad thing about using soft woods on raised door panels. They tend to shrink over time. That other house was beautiful! And you were such a cutie!
I refinished 3 doors like that many years back. 3 coats of white, on top of mint green, on top of pink! They were Fur, and I stained them a mahogany red. They turned out nice.
Angie from Transcend Furniture Gallery sent me. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this project. True craftsmanship! Will love to go back and see what you've already done and looking forward to future projects.

Oh ya stunning girl! Most excellent job! AS ALWAYS! KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK!
True artistry.

There is something sublimely joyous about watching a Master at their craft. Thanks Trena, for sharing with us.
Beautiful!
Fantastic job!
Good job looks great.
Love a bit of Trena and her skills.

Very nice!

well, actually just my last door, there are a few more projects to come from this shop. ill let you know when its the last one. cheers

Wow look at this girl.. magnificentTTTT .. some people are blessed with their working skillls..

I love the way shop dog and shop cat sit together!
They say you can't polish a turd but you did looks fantastic!!
Lol

Loved Shop Dog and Shp Cat watching the world together!
Wow, that was brought back from the dead.
From scrap to a million dollar piece by Trena. 👍👍
It's a much happier door without all those layers of paint. You have a lot going on, sending you positive vibes. Take care.
yes thankyou!

Thanks!
Thumbs up just for shifting the centre panels! 👍🏻👏🏻
First time I gave a carpentrix a big thumbs up.
You had no choice, that door had to be painted. Looks beautiful.
It's hard to make a silk purse out of a pigs ear but, you did a wonderful job.
Thanks for posting.

Yes they were very happy. Thankyou so much!
In the beginning your expression said it all. If the door could smile, it would be a happy smile, but I'm sure your smile was even happier.
Just beautiful
Beautiful! Now I want to strip mine down, LOL Great job!
Go for it! Lol
You did a five star job on the door

Welcome!
The chisel work was great. The paint finish was amazing. But the panels being slid back into place was exquisitely satisfying. Loved it. The Before/After segment was good too
That teal like color is really appealing. Wonderful work. Great attention to detail.
yes i think so too!
I cannot believe the work you did on just the bottom of the door… then you said you were painting *jaw dropped* amazing job you are so bad ass
And this throwaway world we live in these days it would have been so much easier to discard that door and replace it with something new and modern. I'm so thankful that there are people like you who are willing still to put in the work and appreciate the character of old pieces like this.
Tremendous save of an old door.
Trena it's not that I don't like painted wood,it that I love natural better. This is lovely. This will add pizazz to someone's front door

Wonderful skills, and an engaging presentation - you gave that old door a new lease of life
Thankyou

That tape trick for the patch over the lock mortise 🔥

will do!
@@johnsfurniturerepair can't wait!!!
Superb
Another beautiful restoration video. 😃😃
Beautifully done, kudos to your tenacity and skills. Your customers are very, very fortunate.
Thank you very much!
I wasn’t sure I would like the added blocks but it makes sense and the look grew on me. After all the door needs to be functional. I’m very impressed
I always hold my breath on the weekend when I open TH-cam and hope to see a new Trena video. I get giddy when I see you at the top of my feed. 😂 🎉🎉
lol, awesome!
You did this beautifully!! The customer will be happy with it!!! Niek.

Yea, this door had COPD, and got a lung transplant...
I continue to be impressed by your skill and attention to detail. I would have replaced that door, but you made it look better than new. Thanks for the video.
Your mum and dad must be very proud of you trena.? Top of the class trena 😊
I think your Dad is watching you and your wonderful work I bet he is so proud of you young lady.
I was born and raised in Windsor but moved up to Belleville in 99. When you said “Windsor/Essex” my ears perked up. Lol
Fearless, ingenious and knowledgeable and more! That’s who you are ❤
There is no doubt you love your profession. ❤
This is going to sound odd but I just love Doors! Doors, chairs and muscle cars. You've taken a beat up ugly duckling and made it a NEW old door. Beautiful.
When I was much younger (75 now) I truly wish I had been able to apprentice under your father. I just wound up as an electrician but I always had a love of furniture craftsmanship.
Goodness.. that door is fabulous. Lucky client ❤
I have admired beautifully painted front doors for many years. It was such a pleasure to see you restore this antique 10/10 💙💙💙
thankyou
I absolutely love the ASMR of the stripper! So satisfying. And your teaching is invaluable!!!!
Thankyou
girl i like every project you do iam 55 and i still learn a lot from you good job
Why anyone would not want to see the door painted is beyond me. It is beautiful. Thank you for showing your skills Trena. Showing your skills for free. Lovely job.
Now that was quirky!!! And the door is now beautiful and functional.
Boy is Windsor gonna miss you!
What an absolutely beautiful transformation!
the cracks were hypnotics ^^ and that work again is incroyable.
As always, you did wonderful job on that door. You have the caring touch!
25:50 Lovely. It's so peaceful at your workshop. ❤
yes, i will miss it
Trena, most people would have pitched that door on the woodpile but not you. Once again you have shown what talent and endurance can do. BRAVO !
Thankyou!
Bravo!!!
Amazing restoration job I never thought it would come out as nice as this, your father has taught you an amazing skill I bet he is so proud of you.
That's the bad thing about using soft woods on raised door panels. They tend to shrink over time. That other house was beautiful! And you were such a cutie!
I would have cut out that whole lock section and replaced it since it was so rotten. But you are the expert. I'm just a hobbyist.
yes if it was more rotten i would have had too, but the rot was very superficial thank goodness. cheers!
Just Wow😮
It came out great
Looks completely different. What amazing skills and patience
The truth is, when I saw the damage to the door, I did not expect that you would succeed, but I was wrong. You are amazing.
End of an era. Another wonderful video.
The painted door looks great!
I refinished 3 doors like that many years back. 3 coats of white, on top of mint green, on top of pink! They were Fur, and I stained them a mahogany red. They turned out nice.

welcome! tell Angie thankyou, always happy to grow my community. cheers
Once again I'm totally amazed!
I have no problem with watching this video. We own a few pieces of painted furniture. Finish variety is good. Windsor, ON will remember you.
Thankyou
Beautiful work! Beautiful talented lady.
Great job.
Fantastic, worth $5000
