I felt a little "bothered" on behalf of the owner whose business has been seen by 20k people as of now. That's a BIG shift for me since I started the episode thinking that having a second generation working on the table would contribute to making this table a really special heirloom. After watching this show, I would have a hard time looking at the table set, and I certainly wouldn't tell my friends to watch. Sometimes people talk about the furniture being repaired without thinking of how the owner/client will feel about what they say. There are very few things that can't be said in a kind, respectful way. Even selecting the time and article you talk about can make a big difference.

@@seriously8522Respectfully, this seems to have been a “well loved” set. The cleaning of it probably was no surprise to the owner. It gave me the idea to do a project with my grand of one of her great grands furniture pieces. I was working out the logistics in the back of my mind while waiting for the reveal. I never would have thought to wash a piece so thoroughly, and now I will get to share that experience and have a great time too.

Nice job Trena. A couple of thoughts from your counterpart in Michigan. I do chairs for a high end restaurant. When I get them the top where people touch all the time is incredibly filthy. My guess it's the dirtiest thing in the place. But since it's dark on dark wood neither the customers nor the owners realize just how filthy they are. By the time I get all the dirt off, the color and finish are gone too. Then I just restain and shoot a new coat of lacquer. Also if I have loose chairs with no broken wood I reglue CA glue. I can do a chair in 5 minutes. I know this will make hard-core woodworkers cringe, but it gets the job done. Customers refer me to others and bring more for me to do. Yes I know it's difficult to reverse, but it does give a lasting tight joint. For this I charge 40$ per chair. This makes up a little for all the other jobs that are more than I first estimate. Your comments/criticism would be appreciated.

Oh dear Trena, maybe you could talk your customer into driving you over to that bridge, throw all those chairs off, then have some fun with the project of reassembling all of them 😂😂😂 Nothing is impossible for you, and it is fun to watch you conquer everything that you choose to do. 💪💪💪 On a side note, I have detailed cupboards as well as hardwood floors during either remodel work or else working to help sell someone’s house and I have pulled the same such bucket after bucket of black water! Nothing surprises me, even with the cleanest of houses and I can always find the dirt. No judgement from me, because I just already know people get used to things or they do not try to find extra things to clean. On the other hand, they are always impressed how much better it feels after I have detailed anything like that - so it does totally help to just start scrubbing and cleaning before worrying about what might need some repair work. It does make me think differently about my own things at home too and I can get lost in cleaning everything instead of what I set out to do, meaning I do not always get done with what I meant to do that day 😎

I have an antique table that came to me with a burn mark on the table top and a stretcher with the peg broken off. The rest of the peg was still inside the hole on the table leg. I glued the stretcher, then drilled it from the other side so I could sink a screw through the leg, the peg, and into the stretcher. That left me with a hole on the leg, but I drilled it out so I could put a wooden cap in it. I then had to drill the opposite leg so I could put a matching cap in it. The burn was much harder to deal with. I sanded it down as much as possible, bleached it, and stained and varnished over it. It still shows slightly, but a lace doily can cover a multitude of sins.
