Hey 👋Thank you so much for watching! If you enjoy my video and would like to say thanks you can now buy me a coffee!

The shading and blending to match those colors is mind blowing and the attention to detail is a enjoy to watch.
Excellent repair work!
Hockey tape, dead giveaway you're Canadian. I've been doing this for 40 years(retired) and learned something new today Enjoying your videos, good work
I make my living repairing, restoring and refinishing old and unique furniture, and am pleasantly surprised to see you use many of the same techniques and products as I do. I've been doing this work for thirty years or better and find it heart warming to see someone as young and as capable as yourself carrying this profession on in a traditional style. Seat of your pants retro engineering, and some good old fashion ingenuity is what it takes to do what we do. And I will put a plug in for Mohawk products as I see you use them. Their touch up products are top notch. I've even picked up a couple of tricks watching your videos. I'm almost 70 and still learning. It's what keeps us young. You have a good knack for color matching, and I know that comes from lots of trial, and lots of error. Been there done that. Keep it up, I'll be watching.
You my dear sir, are my kin. Many trades and DIY people who watch me don’t fully understand how these restoration shops function on a multitude of skills and a ton of flying by the seat of our pants. Every single job we do is different, there are similar processes but never the same project. I am so happy to have a fellow restorer join me here. Cheers friend! 🍻
Aa
I never discount what works... The most effective solution sometimes is the most direct . May your hands never grow weary in your trade.
I’m 61 and still learning too. My grandmother started teaching me when I was 9. Trena is amazing in her craft and teaching us old fogies a new trick or two is an added bonus to her videos.
I, too, am an old dog woodworker doing everything from new custom furniture to repairing antiques and newer pieces. Hardly ever the same thing twice. I would be very appreciative if you would state how many hours your restoration or repair took to complete. Do you bid or charge hourly? What is your hourly rate$?
Gorilla Glue - AAARRRGGGHHH!!! We've done many repairs like this in our shop in Missouri, but I still picked up a few tips from watching your video. Excellent work!
Nice!
Really interesting episode! My husband said that whenever he has to use epoxy putty he calls it "stuff 'n jam," 😂😂😂 because you stuff and jam it into the cracks.
I love that you retain the natural beauty of the wood instead painting and roughing it up.
There is nothing more satisfying than watching craftsmanship on display. Loved it! 🤘🏻
I can just imagine how good you feel inside when you finish a piece like this. I just love watching you repair things like this. You are so talented.
Interesting trick cutting notches in the dowel to let excess glue escape, I'll have to remember that. Nice repair job.
Me too
Starting to binge watch your work now, this is number 3. I very much enjoy watching someone so good at what they do. It's hypnotic. Thank you for sharing this.
plus being a sweetie-pie. so nice video
and so nice shop.
i'm with you----but ---- it is so much easier watching her work than doing our work!
You are an Artist. I'm telling you, this was awesome work.
Thank you! Cheers!
I love watching this as I love repairing vintage furniture❤️thank you!
Great job. Couldn't even tell it was repaired. Thanks.
Awesome job Trena. As one who has performed many repairs myself, I think you have done a superb job. Attention to detail is the greatest key.
I think you should get the look of the people when they come to see the absolutely gorgeous work you did for them. They are moments worth remembering! Wonderful work as always!!
I’ll keep asking. Many are shy. Cheers!
I like the job you did on that chair i have never saw a chair like that in my life
I appreciate the "steam tube" you used in the chair repair segment. Your honesty and work ethic is astounding and I like that. Anyhow people who critic you without any actual experience are annioying. And....... I find people who don't make any mistakes just aren't doing very much!
The ox is slow, but the earth is patient!
Awesome job with the chair ma-am
My father restored antiques for a living and watching you with all the different techniques to match the color and do a strong repair was like being in his shop again .
How lovely!
Love your videos!! These certainly showcase your knowledge of woodworking!! In this one, I got a lovely sense of your gentle touch as you repaired the cross dowel with epoxy and electrical tape!! 💗
This is so beautiful! Really enjoyed the camera angles you use to clearly see your work and also the tools you use for us new to woodworking! Thank you so much. Highly skilled work!
Your work is amazing! And that beeswax…just the icing on the cake!
Very well done. Love the color matching especially the blonde piece.
It seems surprising that the broken and repaired leg didn't become slightly shorter than than the other legs. Thanks for your channel this is my first time on it. I'm quite impressed! You and Tom Johnson teach us all.
I love Tom’s videos. He is a master
I agree, he is amazing as well.
Awesome job Trena
Fantastic Repairs !!!!
Very useful tip on using the band saw on the dowel. Thank you. Your work is impeccable!!
Nice work. The color matching on the repaired parts came out very good.
Thanks 👍
You are AMAZING!!! First time I have ever seen a repair like this. I enjoyed watching you do your magic.
I have learned so much from you! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. 👍
The more I watch your videos the more I'm convinced you can fix just about anything... When you started out on this chair I wondered how you were going to do it... and bit by bit you did it! Wow! Craftsmanship + artist!!!
Your sense of what color is needed and blending it is exquisite
Thankyou!
nice restoration. That color match you did on the thin spindle from front to back was amazing.
Thankyou
You are quite the artist!
Your work is amazing! You really are an artist! Thank for filming this so we can see it.
Great repairs! Your color-matching skills are super.
Nicely done repair.
Great work!!!!!!!)))👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊
Nice job Trena. I love your gentle touch on the previously botched repairs. Better condition than new, I think!
Excellent !
Best regards from Russia.
That chair is so unique I wasn't sure you'd be able to match the colors - but you did it and it looks wonderful. Your customer is going to be amazed and happy. Good Job!
Great video, having to repair a rocking chair, had no clue till I seen your video. Thanks
Excellent, I have almost the same job to do but wasn't sure where to start. Thankyou thankyou, such a talented lady.
This is a traditional Dutch "Riempie" chair from South Africa. Riempie (pronounced ream-pee) refers to the rawhide strap seat which is very comfortable and lasts for years. Great repair and cosmetic detail.
Thankyou!
@@johnsfurniturerepair oooooopoo
Great work! I learned a few things and you are meticulous on the finishing, thanks for posting and sharing!
Love your videos.Learning a lot about repairs and refinishes.
Wow! you are an artist . Thank You.
Wow, I watched your site for the first time and was amazed at your talent, not only for assembly but color mixing to perfection! Thanks for sharing and showing how almost anything can be repaired! Awesome!
Very nice repair! I've repaired some chairs with similar issues over the years and I've got to say that you made it look much easier than I remember doing them. For me the issue wasn't so much the color matching and blending because those depend on the final appearance that's been decided on. My issue was always the realignment of the broken parts and dealing with the previous failed repairs that someone else made that caused them to bring the piece to me. It looks like you drilled that dowel hole by eye and that was awesome. My dowel drilling jigs looked like a twiddlely wink set on steroids, many many steroids. Can't wait for the next vid.
Only you could make repairing a broken chair leg interesting! Amazing!
You are such a master furniture repairer, restorer and an antique life saver to so many people. I am a disabled veteran here in Corpus Christi, Texas. I do not get out a lot with the covid pandemic going on, and I just want you to know how much I enjoy watching and listening to you talking about new furniture that has come into the shop. What your clients have asked you to do with their pieces, how you plan on step by step what is needed to achieve a good result. And I really enjoy when you show the finished furniture when you are completely when it is ready to be shipped back to the client (so beautiful). By the name of your shop and the explanation you gave on your tour, you must have loved your father very much. You are honoring him through your work. I can't help but think he must have loved every minute of having his little girl in the shop with him any time he could.
So glad you are enjoying the videos. My dad is actually still working in the original shop back home in Saskatoon. We both miss working together. Great memories. But we visit when we can. Cheers!
Nicely done!
You have a real gift in your ability to blend those colors.
I think the same thing every time I watch her projects. Like an artist blending and painting a landscape.
Love the detail you out into this repair
Wow... amazing work on all the videos I have seen!
Very relaxing to watch.
Beautiful repair! You make it look so easy and your demeanor is so relaxed and peaceful.
It's always a pleasure to see a skilled craftsperson at work.
You are an artist! Beautiful job restoring that unusual chair that I would love to have in my home.
Well done, well done indeed.!.!.! Very nice work.!.!.!.!
Perfect job,beautiful
Excellent repair once again Trena and of course great touch up! AMAZING.
I repair old furniture and I think you did a nice job , you used a lot of techniques I use , my dowl would have been longer just because it's a dining chair , love your video's . Mike
I have used a long piece of steel rod instead of a wood dowel rod and drill the holes but deeper into the leg on each end. Took a small grinder with a thin cutter wheel a cut a groove in each side of the steel rod and cut a few little places cross ways for the epoxy to lock it into the holes in the wood leg
pieces . Because I figured that the steel wood be much stronger and longer each way inside the wooden leg . She did do a good job lining and matching everything back up . I have put steel inside of wood pieces just to give them strength several times, not repairing, just building something to make it stronger .
Really beautiful chair and your expertise brought it back to life. Your work is amazing and thanks for sharing.
I really enjoy watching your skills in repairing and making old furniture look new again! I love the fact that you take the time needed to do a great job of repairing so that any future damages does not happened at the previous repair section of the furniture. It must be a great feeling to work at a job that looks stress free and really loving what you do! Thank you for your awesome videos!
I don’t know about stress free lol. But I do love it. Cheers!
Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing.
I was worried a first but you pulled it off. Impressive.
Nicely done Trena...awesome repair! Thanks for sharing it...
Fresh as a spring breeze, nice work, appealing appearance and voice. Thank you.
I was in WDW maintenance for many years dealing with similar situations! Great work!
Beautiful repair job! I broke a leg off a very old desk today. I will keep this video to guide me through the repair if I decide to fix it myself. The roll top was missing when I bought it, and it had several layers of ugly dark green and black paint on it, so has very little value, but I painted it gray and white and love the way it turned out. Thanks for explaining the process!
Glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching!
Really enjoy to watch you work your craft . All the steps are interesting but the finishing steps really interest me . Thanks for sharing what you do .
Superb job fixing that chair!
nice work Trena
What a neat looking chair it must have been special to them to bring from Africa. Great job
I learned a couple of things I didn't know to do. Great job.
I am impressed!
Those are nice-looking legs!
Absolutely outstanding, your repair is nothing short of perfection. Job well done.
Well done Ma'am.
Lots of blokes on here 'explaining' what they would do, or saying that she knows what she is doing, as if she really needs this validation. She is a pro. The 21st century has left some chaps behind.
Thank you. It’s Nice to be respected cheers
Very valid point indeed.
Repair was great and your color matching skills are excellent !
Thanks !
fascinating how you repair an "old" chair - thanks for sharing
I'm an amateur who's done some actual restoration of vintage furniture ( not true antiques) and found your videos just recently. I am learning some techniques from you with every one and want to thank you for giving me of your knowledge. I'm a 75yr old woodworker who still enjoys my hobby.
Happy to be helpful
Great work as usual and some repairs that I would never have tried. Thanks for sharing.
You cant imagine how much better I felt when I saw you kerf cut the dowel perimeter on the Band saw and not the Table saw!!!!! My mind flashed to doom and danger while at the same time knowing that was just a goof of words!
Lol. Oops
That's what equality means to me.
Seeing someone no matter what gender being as capable as anyone else and getting paid what it is worth.
Here we have a gorgeous woman teaching everyone, male and female how to do top-notch work.
This is how the world should head towards, not just demanding entitllement.
Go girl! You are and inspiration!
Thankyou
Beautiful work as always
Sono ITALIANO e ti seguo da molto tempo. Apprezzo tanto le tue tecniche . Brava. Saluti.
I really Love your professionalism! My grandpa show me everything because he was an ébéniste! You remember me a lot of thing! God bless you! Now we used epoxy do you remember the plastic wood?👍💋🌹
That's Ridiculous... What an Amazing Job You Did!
You are amazing!!! Enjoy the repairs you do!!
That looks awesome. What a great job you have. Love your channel so relaxing to watch you work.
You've taught me much. Thank you.
Very impressive. The chair sits nice and level..no wobbles...Great work!!
This is very instructional. As a woodworker I make mistakes on my projects all the time. Learning how to fix them is an art in itself. Thanks
You did a masterful job! What talent!
This a very informative video chocked full of good stuff. I have to say I have never used electrical tape in any of my projects but will give it a try soon.
It’s good to see and hear someone like yourself having and showing respect for other craftsmen work that is why I love your channel
Your work is amazing by the way and hi from Australia 🇦🇺
Brilliant Trena!
