OMG I think that mess ended up looking better than it did coming out of the furniture factory! ! ! You really are at the top of your craft!
Thankyou!
Things I learned from trena
How to glue
How to clamp up the work piece
Use the right yool😊
Don't rush
It never fails to amaze me how you bring back something that looks too far gone, to something beautiful. Great skills. ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
WOW!!! A star is born from a pile of sad, old, tired wood! What a Cinderella story. That was wonderful to watch! You really worked some skilled magic. I had no doubt it would look really nice....but it far surpasses really nice! Stunning! 💫
I continue to stand in awe at your eye for color and techniques in applying finishes.
Great work. Just amazing.
Thankyou
Many years ago I was the supervisor in the retouching department of Electrohome's Deilcraft Furniture division. We had 8-9 people who did this sort of thing all day, every day. they were real artists but you are every bit as good as they were if not better. Very nice work.
Yea I remember the days of the in house repairman. Mowhawk and star chemical had classes they could take
Even when new, I doubt it looked that good! Genius. Keep learning from your Dad, he has one amazing daughter.
Bless you both.
Thanks so much
You're saving humanity - one piece of furniture at a time. Old cars, old furniture, old art, it's a legacy that MUST be preserved and passed on to future generations. Without the past, who are we? Bravo, Trena!
Agreed. Thankyou
Hour+ complicated restorations are my absolute favorite type of video, and this one is amazing 🤩
Glad you liked it!!
WOW! Talk about bringing it back from the brink of death. What amazing work indeed. I can't understand how pieces like this are left to the elements etc and truly disrespected. Thank goodness you exist to give it life once again. Simply magnificent job Trenna.
Thankyou
lack of skills a death etc.. I get clocks from a packer resale shop. some for 5 bucks, other dark wood no one uses now. makes great projects. I just leave door and sides off modern now
Your knowledge and talent are AMAZING 😍
This is not just a furniture repair. This is an art. Brilliant!!!
I struggle putting on a clear finish….Trena just says, I’m going to be hand painting all of the faux wood grain! 😂
Lol
I struggle with poly big time, too. Maybe someday we can enter Trena’s orbit LOL
Just can't believe how you managed to get such a fantastic match to the original. Superb. Thank you, Trena for sharing this with us.
My pleasure!
I do not think you are nuts. Your restorations are the utmost in beauty. Thank you,
Glad you like them!
Talent, skill, experience. Lady you have it.
I couldn't agree more!
Your patience is extraordinary. It certainly is a virtue. Excellent work.
Thank you very much!
I am in awe.
You are the first artist I have witnessed to tackle restoring a print finish.
You are the leader of the pack.
Congratulations.
Thank you so much
It's so nice to see these beautiful old wood finishes restored and preserved. I want to cry every time I see one fall into the hands of a Joanna Gaines devotee who slathers it with chalk paint and "antiquing wax". It ought to be a crime.
You are the Michael Angelo of furniture restoration. Your attention to detail is second to none. Excellent work as always. 😁 Hi from Scotland.
Wow, thanks!
Trena, you have truely transended to Master Restoration Expert over these past few years, and I am blessed to follow along on your channel to see it all transpire. Many thanks to you for your educational videos to inspire those of us who dare to follow. You and your father are indeed held in high esteem.
Wow, thank you
OMG, Trena!! I NEVER would have thought you could repair the finish so damn well!! Those spots you repainted are almost invisible! You are an artist AND magician!!❤
🥰
We started stripping an antique library table only to find that it was not tiger oak but a faux finish. It is a big peirce and I always wondered how it was cheaper to do all that graining by hand instead of oak veneer. You have solved the mystery. It was printed on. I would like to know more about printed finishes, as I have never heard of them before.
Yes they had rollers with dye stain. It was done rather quickly
I am flabbergasted! To think that a faux finish could look that authentic. Such a wonderful save..I!m a fan of really good faux finishes and you took this to the next level..
Trena, your color work is what amazes me. I can generally understand the structural repairs you make to the pieces you work on but once you get to finishes and colors it’s all black magic to me. Absolutely stunning results and a testament to your talent. I’m sure your dad is very proud of you. Please keep educating us with your videos. Thanks.
Thankyou will do!
What a stunningly beautiful result Trena!❤ You put so much love into your work. The combination of skills used in your repairs/ restorations amaze me but especially in this case. What a blessing to have such a gifted and generous teacher in your father.
Your client must be over-the-moon happy!🤩
Thank you so much!
You are a genius, a real master craftswoman!
Trena, you kill it doing challenging, difficult, labor-intensive, patient furniture repair and restorations...wow!
WOW. You really are a restorer if you can bring one of those finishes back. Beautiful.
Absolutely unbelievable! I tell you each thing you challenge yourself to is better than when it was new! This is gorgeous! I can imagine your dad is thrilled as well to have you back in the shop! It truly was a God wink to be able to make that move back and I think it's where you were meant to be. Hopefully you are getting back to your horse riding some a bit as well when weather permits. I would love to watch your father at work, I know he is a magician when it comes to such, look at all he has taught you. I can only imagine his pride!
God bless you all and thank you for loving these beautiful old pieces and giving them a new chance or new life to be sure. The owners I am sure are beyond words when they see your work. Absolutely amazing!!!!
❤️❤️yes lots of horsey time. Mostly every day. I’m thinking of starting a blind horse training channel
How amazing that would be........truly amazing! I know if anyone could do so, you surely could. Your patience and stamina and tenacity to get the job accomplished would be a strong drive for you. Also a beautiful gift to share! God bless is you do take that forward leap as well. 🙂@@johnsfurniturerepair
That was the most remarkable bit of color work I have ever seen! So informative and intertaining at the same time!
I have three words for you: Knowledge, skill and patience! Remarkable restoration.
Excellent work! I went to Mohawk touch-up school back in the 70s. I enjoyed it but I was really a gear head. I enjoy watching you do these miracles.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have watched you for a while. I'm always in awe of the work you do to bring back a piece to it's original glory! Great job...
Thank you very much!
Amazing! Going from being destined to the burn pile to being the most cherished piece in the home! The woodgrain on that piece is gorgeous!
Yes! Thank you!
That’s friggin amazing! I’ve seen several people just strip that faux wood grain right off, but you did the impossible and brought it back! It’s a show piece now, and I’m happy to see that style get saved.
So glad you are with your family and still learning! Amazing restoration. Your attention to detail is what makes your finished piece look spectacular.
Thank you very much!
WOW, WOW, WOW!!! Gorgeous piece, thanks to your wonderful skills. Thank you for showing me how patience, persistence, and love of the piece of furniture brings these masterpieces.
You are so welcome!
this girl is the best really at the top of her craft
You are a true professional to have even agreed to undertake this work. And the finished product is so amazing. I am in awe!
Thanks so much 😊
This is the most amazing restoration that I have ever seen you or anyone else do. I can't even imagine the amount of time you spent on this one.
I admire your great skill, & the kindness you've shown, to give back the life, the beauty of this handsome piece; lovely!
You are so kind
Wow, what an eye! You truly have a gift, Trena! Beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
Maybe a little nutty. 😂 glad you're spending more time with your father. I'm sure he loves having you there with him.🙏
That piece really came out looking amazing. You're soooo talented. ❤
Thankyou!
Trena, you are the absolute best ever at color work. I'm amazed at how beautiful the dresser looks now. You've got mad skills!
Thank you so much 🤗
Trena, Your talents continue to amaze me! I'm glad you have the opportunity to continue learning from your father, he is truly a master of his craft.
Trena, you are a miracle worker.
You're simply the best! Amazing restoration
Your eye for matching and adjusting colours absolutely amazes me. It’s truly an impressive skill.
That piece looked really beautiful when you had worked your magic on it. Before you started, it looked (to my eye) to be only fit for the bonfire.
Thank you so much!
She is lovely, thanks to you!!
Wow, what a beautiful transformation. You really were able to see thru that mess to re create a beautiful piece of furniture. Thank you!
Thankyou!
My little ones often spend time with me down in my shop as well - asking questions and being curious. I hope one day they too, develop a love for restoration and refinishing of beautiful pieces so they can share the knowledge and pass it on to their little ones as well! Beautifully restored Trena!
