- This week in the shop Trena repairs someone else's repairs on a hand-carved wooden mantle from a fireplace in a castle in England.
Thanks for watching! If you enjoy my video and would like to say thanks you can now buy me a coffee! This will just help me to be supported while I continue to make these videos for everyone to enjoy. Cheers to all my wonderful subscribers! www.buymeacoff...
I am so excited for you and the new shop!!!
You didn't restore this fireplace mantel, you resurrected it. An amazing job.
Thanks so much!
What a job. Crazy! Interesting choice using the wax as a finish. So whenever the fireplace is on and heat is produced, it re-moistens all the waxed carvings. They knew what they were doing back in the day apparently. Beautiful work, Trena. You have made this piece last another 100 years of life now. Bravo!
Great point!
Your client sure made the right choice using you to do this fantastic work.
💯
Thank you!
I would love to see a picture of it installed
I will be shareing that once it is🥰
Wowsers, girl! You just rock! Great to see you smiling again..😊
😊 thank you
Magnificent! Is there anything that you cannot do? Your client must be so happy. Such a lovely piece and you brought it back to life. Congratulations..
That someone would entrust anyone with a piece like this speaks volumes to your abilities. Beautiful.
WOW JUST AMAZING THE MANTEL AND THE BUILDING YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY
Your skills really did shine with this one! You definitely earned your dollar buck fifty with this one! Outstanding Trena! This piece is ready for another 300 years!
Thanks so much!!
Considering the pile of timber they shipped from England, this mantel has been transformed into a work of art.
Thanks for sharing.
You got me twice this week. The caliber of the restoration/repair blew my mind. I cannot imagine seeing anything like this anywhere besides your channel. The mantle is stunning. (Bonus happy - getting rid of that inappropriate addition to the opening - crazy how everything snapped into place with it gone.) THEN - the shop!!!! I actually teared up. I am beyond happy for you. I can hardly wait to see the new set up and the type of work that will flow through there in the decades to come. I hope you have a wonderful week.
Thankyou so much friend❤️
Bravo ❤
What a cudo having an English castle sending this masterpiece to you!!
The owners of this piece must be ecstatic with the restoration of this piece. Your attention to detail is second to none. It is exquisite.
Beautiful and amazing! So much excitement for you. This will be a winter to remember for sure!
Your studies are serving you famously and your father taught you well. He also instilled an edge of bravery! This is an enjoyable repair.
Trena, It wouldn't matter what career you would have had, you would love to be the fixer, the problem solver and you would be great at it. I am happy that you chose to continue with your fathers legacy. Your videos have brought me joy. Thank you.
Thanks for that
So so so happy to see the shop!! What a great surprise! I lived the mantle video too! ❤
You're clients are lucky to have found you to do the repairs! Awesome job.
Thanks 👍
I’m so happy for you with the new shop building! Isn’t it great to work with people who actually get things done?
This poor mantel desperately needed your help! I love your attention to the details and your respect for the artistry. It’s beautiful, and I’ll bet the owners were ecstatic!
Stunning! I love watching all the restoration details you show. So glad you got to show us this one. 😊
You are a very brave person taking this amount of work head on!
Additional comment. I somehow don't think wood briquets were used when this piece was originally made. Another happy sight was to see construction supplies for the new shop arrive and unloaded. So happy for you especially knowing the hardships you endured over the last several months. Congratulations on all!
Once again you’ve shown us the difference between a real craftsperson (you) and a hack. Beautiful work Trena!
Thankyou
My god. You brought that baby back from the brink of total destruction. And it's beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous! Can't wait to see it installed!
Thankyou you will!
Oh my gosh! Your building is going to be so wonderful. So excited for you, Trena.
Another master piece by Trena! Amazing! I knew when I saw the beginning it was going to be breathtaking when you finished it! Great way to spend a Sunday morning!
Thank you very much!
This is a MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is what separates amateurs from professional artisans. Amazing work Trena. And the workshop is perfect!!!!
Thankyou!
Wow Trena, I think that is the nicest piece yet. So much work, and the finish is perfect.
I love these long videos. I learn so much even though I will probably never encounter a piece like this one. Well done on the ton of work and explaining everything to us😊
Thank you very much!
Ohhh, I love how the mantelpiece turned out, it’s wonderful! But your new shop! How exciting! I’m truly so happy for you! I’m glad it’s all going as planned now. 😊
Thank you so much!
You looked radiant at the end, which was so great. I’m so glad you have your new building. This mantel was pretty but you transformed it. You have to know how talented you are. I’m proud of you!!
In the ‘80’s, I bought a 90 year old house in Connecticut. The previous owner was a drunk who made “repairs” and “improvements” that angered and frustrated me the entire time I owned the home. Every time I went to restore a portion of the house, I had to remove/replace/rebuild the destruction he had done before I could restore it. It angers me to this day remembering what he did to that house! I can empathize with you about the frustration and dismay you must feel towards the person who seriously damaged that piece of art! And I am so grateful that it was you who was entrusted to restore it! Thank you for your integrity and skill!
Thankyou.
It was HIS house!!!
and it was fine for him. and you bought it? people do what they can to survive.
It’s so gorgeous!❤❤
Enjoy your new shop!
This project rivaled the grandfather clock you did. Your talents continue to amaze me. I hope your client realizes how fortunately they are to have you nearby. Also I'm very happy to see they have started on your new shop!!!
Don't know what gave me more joy, the stunning refinish or the way you shouted, "Holy Crap!!" when you revealed the new building. Thrilled for both!
What a transformation! I always enjoy watching you do refinishing work, but what blows me away is your ability to do carving! That’s an artistic ability, and I’m SO impressed!
Your new shop is wonderful! The next amazing chapter in the saga of John’s Furniture Repair.
🥰
Thank you very much!
Oh my God! What a beauty!!! You should work in museum restorations!!!! She is a beauty!
This was a most enjoyable hour of my time, almost therapeutic! Nice to see history restored back to life. Can't wait to see the shop completed.
You and me both!
What a great video! The restoration of that mantle retained its age and character but made it structurally sound. Even that bit of wing missing on the cherub does not detract.
Congrats on the new workshop, it looks fabulous!!!
What a juicy project! And so cool watching the heat gun revive the wax!
Your work is incredible Trena!!! What a HUGE restoration. I’m looking forward to seeing it in its home. The owners will be so amazed at what you have done. The new work shop is terrific!
Thanks so much!
Beautiful restoration work. Outstanding new building. So glad things have finally worked out for the better.
Thank you very much!
OMG… what a fantastic restoration. I’ve seen you pull off some amazing restoration,but this was a true masterpiece…. Just wonderful.
Once again, Trena.... it's amazing! God is so good!❤ your work and dedication is remarkable!☺️
Thank you so much!
This project was so immense that I would have to wonder “where do I start?” and also “where do I stop”. It reminds me of the old thought “how do you eat an elephant?”. The answer is one bite at a time just like you did here. You are incredible!
What a fantastic job Trena. Brava! It is a real testament to your skill that you are able to repair pieces like this without removing the patina of age and wear.
This old lady of a fire surround has been through the wars…..you sure had your work cut out. You’ve given her all the love and attention she deserved and clearly needed and look here, what a gem! I said it before but I’ll say it again, you’re a miracle worker! And I loved the heat gun/ wax trick. Learning new techniques every time I watch you do your magic.
Awesome!
Trena! Next to that paint job on the old clock this is your most beautiful transformation. Awesome work!!!
Wow, thank you!
That's exactly what I was thinking!! That clock restoration was the most memorable work I've every seen on youtube and I've seen thousands of videos!! But I have to say, this mantle takes the top spot now!! The only thing missing was duck tape to those terrible repairs but at least it was enough to hold it together until it found it's way to you!! I hope the owner gets a copy of this footage along with the hefty bill of course!!
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous! Love the pole barn. 🙂👍
The finished mantle is fabulous‼️ so glad the building is no longer a dream.
Thank you! Can't put a price on inspiration, it's priceless.
The fireplace surround turned out really nice. The new shop is fantastic! Congratulations!!!
Thanks so much!
I am so glad your workshop is coming together so fast
So stunning. Wish I could see the customers face when then see it finished.
I'm so glad that you are back on track! You are a truly special person and your work is brilliant!
Looks fantastic, both the fireplace and the new workshop.
YEAH. Shop in progress. That was the most beautiful piece. Outstanding work😊😊😊😊😊😊
I can almost see you waving your hands about in joy at: 1. All the clever repair work techniques you will be able to demonstrate, and 2. Definitely something very different from shelves, tables and chairs (oh my!). Smile. Love your work!
I understand that this beautiful piece has had a hard life and has had a lot of not quality work done to it and you are critical of that,but under tone I hear from you, you are so excited to be able to bring this piece back to life the way it was meant to be.just a great piece of history.great video,great job on what you’re doing. I think this is what restoration is all about.just keep on doing what you do best.hope you and family are well.this will be a nice piece to show your talent off.😎😎😎👍👍👍
You are correct. It could have been so much worse and I still would have had a fun time.
Thank you for letting us share your adventures.
Congratulations on the new shop!!
The mantle piece was a joy to watch you renovate. I'm sure the owners will be thrilled. We'll cone!

Oh my God, what an amazing job you did! I am so glad the owners chose you to restore this beautiful piece! ❤
Me too!!
I keep being amazed by what you can do Trena! Nobody even comes close to your skill! So happy to see your new shop coming up! Looking forward to more of your work.
Thank you so much!
Trena you are an absolute magician. I am in awe at your skill. That is a fabulous job.
Between the original woodworker and you this piece will live another 300 years ! ! ! ! ! !
Beautiful restoration, good for another 300 years 😍
Blown away by your work! And so excited to see your shop coming along. You deserve it!!❤
The miracle is not just your new shop but also your amazing skills, and now we learn you can sing as well! I’m so pleased to see the new build finally happening and can’t wait to see the finished article. Thank you for another hour of splendid entertainment.
I can't imagine your excitement seeing that building finally arriving.
Great transformation of this old lady. Good job.
Trena you are amazing...you have the patience of a saint. Not many would be willing to take on such a challenging project. Your skill/talent/grit is inspiring. Have no idea how you charge for such a undertaking...time/materials? You salvaged an amazing piece and I hope your client appreciates your hard work/effort. So glad to see your new space/shop! It's been a challenging few years for you and no one deserves it more...congrats! Look forward to seeing you in there...
Thank you so much! All I can say is my clients are wonderful understanding people. 🥰
OMG and holy cow!!! It’s amazing how you refinish the color without it looking like it’s been refinished, it’s so rich and gorgeous, wow! All the repairs perfectly match, what an eye, like you were totally into the artist that originally made them. Oh, and that biscuit guy, I’ve never seen so many! And all that grunge, probably from the 1800’s, so nasty, like it survived the plague……what a job, well done, well done, I’m so proud of you!
Great great job Trena. Very patient to finish all the fireplace repairs. Congrats for your new building. God bless you and your job.
Thankyou!
TRENA, TRENA, TRENA! AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING! I thought that would take at least two videos to watch the transformation. Your clients will be thrilled and I am looking forward to seeing it in its forever home. I am also so pleased to see the progress of the JOHN’S FURNITURE REPAIR shop. It truly is an amazing MIRACLE Trena to see. God Bless you and yours and all of your subscribed viewers for being a part of GOD’S MIRACLE. ❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼🤪🙏🏼
Fantastic job it must have been so satisfying to do and the customer must be over the moon
This video was a 2-fer... Beautiful restoration, each time I wonder how are you going to do that!? And you do! And Congrats on getting the new shop built, I know it is a blessing to have it, much needed... and how exciting you get to define the new space and make it the way you want it.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful work on this piece, Trena! And I am so happy to see your new shop coming together after all you went through! 👍🏻❤
Thank you so much!
Wonderful project, thank you for sharing w/us. Trena , unbelievable work as always.⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much!
Wow. That mantle work was outstanding.
I love how you are impressed by the hand sculptures and then you fix them by hand. Great video!
Wow unbelievable work! They will be so happy they sent it to you to fix!
Thank goodness for your Client that they had a skilled person like you nearby. That mantel was gnarly!
Yes it was!
I am in awe of your work and how calm and methodical you are throughout the whole process. I bow to you oh Goddess of mantles and restorations.
What a project is an understatement!!! That was amazing!
Your skill and patience are remarkable!
I always start your videos by hitting the like button because I know the quality of your work is worth it. This piece, though, was beyond any expectation I might have had. JUST WOW!!! Congratulations on your new work space!
Thanks again!
It's stunning! The customer must have been so ecstatic to see the final reveal.
Those who have never worked with pieces this old cannot appreciate the care and effort needed. This had two or three hundred years' of repairs by people ranging from real craftsmen to those who shouldn't have been let near it. In the end, it's a functional piece that needs to be made to work. Well done!
Thankyou
Simply glorious to see your talent at it's most challenging project. If I had a million dollar Stradivarius violin needing restoration, I would trust you for perfection.
Лучше не скажешь!!!!
🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤗
Wow!🥲
I so love watching all the love you put in your work no matter what you are working on
Thankyou
A real labour of love 💕
Trena You so deserve the new accomodation - wonderful work and we all love you !
Quite a project! Thank you, Trena. 👍
What a joy to watch you restore this fireplace mantle to glory! It is magnificent to see such an aged piece made sturdy while retaining its character - that’s what you do. ❤ I’m thrilled you have your shop up and know you will waste no time getting it ready! Good luck with the contractors.
Thank you very much!
That is one major project! It turned out beautiful, you did a fantastic job!
When something so ancient comes to you, I know that you will recreate the piece with incredible honesty and integrity. You are an artist as much as DaVinci and Monet were. Awesome. Did I just see Dad’s hand? Yay!
Yes! Thank you!
An amazing job on the mantle, such a beautiful piece almost destroyed by incompetence. Congratulations on the new shop, and the much needed stress in your life. ❤
Thank you very much!
WoW! Bingo! Bravo! Awesome! Nothing like Sherwood Oak!
