    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.

    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.

    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 was so excited for this video. I need to repair and repaint the back door to my garage. It takes a beating from the elements. It's the original wooden door to my 69 year old home. It's smaller than modern doors and having a new one custom made is more than my repair and maintenance budget can absorb. It has three panels and a window. I'm eager to see how you get this door done. My house was built by a retired farmer and it has lots of quirks too, but it's solidly built and I love it. ❤
