I'm an instrument repairman and I have learned a lot watching your refinish and touch-up techniques... Really helps when restoring the finish on orchestral stringed instruments...Thanks for the info.

1/2/22; another great job disassembling & cleaning that string weave top stool. Thought you would not pull out those tiny pin nails...but yur patients & determination is clearly much better than my grab/pull/slam/cut/(swear)/drill/grind 'good-ole-boy' burn-it-out method. Also wanted you to put each spindle into some slow turning lathe, or other device, to make cleaning & polishing those detailed turned depths easier/faster than all that wrist bending you did. Besides, we tool- centric armchair viewers could have seen more of your shop tools & how you quickly(?) clean, sand & polish numerous tubular elements of spindle chairs, stools or other round pieces. Your experience cleaning up this stool came out perfect! That weaving on the top was amazing too! Another great job! Send us more videos! Always enjoy watching your furniture transformations.👍👍👍😊🛠🍷

Thanks for watching!

[@davidfarley1175]

Trena I did some checking and found out that a weekend seminar from 9-4 Sat and Sun can run as much as 400.00 dollars and they can bring a small project to work on. I'm sure you would be a fantastic instructor and you can charge what you fill is a fair price if you ever decide to hold seminars

Used to teach at lee valley before covid. I’ll probably start up again after the world returns to normal. Cheers!

I always seem to learn something new in your videos... stretcher twisty pin nail removal method. I'll put that in my back pocket. Love it!

Thanks for watching!

Jealous of your clamp collection. lol :)

[@ashleyosborne6239]

Another beautiful restore, Trena. And your friend weaving is amazing to watch (I loved how Shop Dog was “supervising”, although it looked like she thought it might be a game too? lol). Just saw as I was commenting you posted a new video. Yay!💜

Good people don't need laws to compel them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws, how good, see your highly form every video, congratulations

[@frankdurnford6325]

I like to watch just to see what you do with a broken-down piece of furniture. And I can see you take pride and your hard work in your shop to make things beautiful again. Beautiful job as always.

[@stephenkruft2213]

Very fine. Thanks for the methods of removing screws and brads.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks for watching hung Stephen

[@Joe___R]

One trick to get small pin nails out is to dull the tip of a pair of flush cut side cutters then cut small serrations into it so it will grip instead cut. You want a tool that is fine enough to grab the smallest bit of a nail sticking out but without the ability to cut it which is the major problem this modification fixes.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Great idea!

[@grandmama2617]

Beautiful workmanship

[@philippe165]

Hi Trena, love watching all of your repairs. Maybe when you edit your video, at the end you could put a before and after picture of your pieces? Love your work 👍

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

We do on some of them. Thankyou for watching. Cheers!

[@imjustabill1968]

I really liked the part in the middle where you did some side-by-side comparisons. Your pieces always turn out beautifully, but having it side by side like that really helped to emphasis the transformation of the stool.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou!

[@billstarr7224]

Another great job. I would have thrown it away. Another case of wished I could have seen the look on your clients face when they came for it. Hope you have a Happy and safe New Year from Pennsylvania.

I often wonder why people love to watch my curtain making videos but I realise I love to watch other people ply their skills particularly those I don't possess so I guess I've answered my own question there 😁 I'm particularly impressed by your skill of blending in new repairs. So absorbing to watch 👍

Hi Trena, I like that you like to refurbish furniture that means something to people rather than just valuable antiques. Great video ;-)

[@gingerburden3356]

Great video.. I had this same problem of factory pins to remove, while fixing some chairs for friends cafe. Nice to know I did it right.

[@irmacoello4571]

You do beautiful work

[@marionherman4553]

I love watching your videos and this one caught my eye as you just cleaned the stool with Krud Kutter and then used Howards Bees Was Polish. Now I know how to clean my dinning room chairs and table. Thank so much for great videos.

Bellissimo come sempre ..

[@deborahdavey1743]

I have several chairs and stalls that need that particular weave on top. Sadly where I live there are no weavers left so I will have to teach myself off of KZbin in order to redo the seats. The only thing other option that I know of is to strap the seat firmly and put foam and upholstery wadding then covering over with material. Your friend doing the weaving is very good.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

It’s not too hard. You can do it.

[@deborahdavey1743]

Turned out great... as usual. So much of your work is in the details... it's a skill to know what to repair and what not to repair or fix... in this case you knew that cleaning it up would turn out like it would... impressive!

I find it interesting to see your techniques. I always learn something new. Here in the Nordics, most don't appreciate this style of furniture, but the taste is different and it can have an affective value for the customer, of course.

[@Patrick-kc5ur]

Having just disassembled and reglued a spindle back chair myself, I thought you might be interested in my method for cleaning off the old glue on the spindles and inside the holes. I chuck the spindle in my 1/2" battery drill and hold sandpaper on the opposite end which gives a nice glue free surface. For the holes, I use a MIG welder tip cleaning wire brush which has a wire shank that I chuck into the battery drill. It's a stiff bristle brush and really gets out the old glue. For the larger diameter spindles and rungs, consider your 3 jaw chuck in the wood lathe. It will save many sore fingers and much time hand sanding them.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks. Cheers
