This week in the shop Trena re-glues and waxes a set of dining chairs.
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.buymeacoffee.com/JohnsFur...

Broke out my grandmother's old Singer table from the basement as have finally converted my daughters' room into a guest/sewing room. Cleaned it, rubbed some Restore a Finish on it, then used Howards wax. I've had this piece since I was 21. I am 58. It looks great! Not perfect, but I was not shooting for perfect. You and Thomas Johnson out of Maine are the best. I finally glued some pieces that have been in the drawer of my nice old tv table bureau while fixing up other items. Took 5 minutes, and twelve years (eyeroll). Thanks for the inspiration to tackle some long overdue projects. Plus as I own a hardware store I always learn more to help my customers. Very much appreciate your videos for the info as well as the relaxation. Something about furniture restoration videos is very calming.

Laura Becker is a talented friend, and the rush weaving she does is as skillful as her caning. Love the finish,Trenna. I have added this type of project to my list of spring cleaning. My beautiful teak Balinese coffee table needs some TLC. It is 3 ft square, and the top is all one piece . I believe the craftsman "peels" off the tree. Anyway, lovely sprucing up of the oak ladder back chairs. Adding Howard's Feed and Wax to the Home Store shopping. Glad you had a nice visit back east with Laura.

watching trena gave me the confidence to break down old furniture. i was always afraid the glue would hold and the wood would shatter. however, i am glad to be proven wrong.

I love the chairs, and the seats are gorgeous. Great work! Since the stretchers are round, you can turn the one that was chewed and patched so the patch is facing downward. Then nobody can see it except the floor, which will not care.

¡¡¡Ya está la comida!!! El clásico llamado de mamá desde la cocina y uno la podía escuchar en donde se encontrara en casa😋. Creí que sólo mi mamá era la que tenía esa costumbre 😊. En un comentario (de otro canal) dije que es bueno dar mantenimiento a nuestros muebles para que así puedan mantenerse por más tiempo y me sorprendieron con una respuesta: "Es muy cierto eso también se aplica en nuestra vida" palabras más o menos así. Me respondió Mr. Tom, con su sabiduría y experiencia de vida. Lo tengo presente. Cuidar nuestros muebles para que nos acompañen el mayor tiempo posible, no esperar a que se deterioren para darles mantenimiento. Gracias por compartir esta experiencia y hazle llegar mis saludos a tu amiga Laura, admiro su trabajo. Saludos y bendiciones.

Thank you ever so much for telling us viewers about the product. The difference is absolutely amazing. So glad I bought 2 bottles of it. It will surely be my go-to product from now on. Thanks again.

A Couple Of Items that your viewers might find useful: Green Scotchbrite: There are two Green Scotchrites - an industrial and a kitchen. The industrial is about 600 grit while the kitchen is rougher but unspecified grit. Quick Clamps: Stanley Black & Decker owns both DeWalt and Irwin - so it really doesn’t matter which brand of clamp one uses.

There's downsides to plastic gliders as well as felt pads, after some time they tend to go brittle, break in half & leave the nail protruding. Kids & some visitors tend to be poor at noticing instantly. Ultimately I'd rather deal with stuck hair & dust than deep scratches in the floor from nail heads.

Hmm. Yes that happened with the old plastic ones. These are a silicone based product so not so prone to drying out as the old plastic ones did.

Trena: I not only enjoyed this video, but have its brother, the arm chair, sitting in my living room for extra seating. I bought mine at SFMacy’s when I worked there as their home furnishing co-ordinator. It was on sale for $79.00. I remember being so excited buying it. One of our first pieces for our new home. A good memory. Still love it! Carol from California

Hi! I am enjoying the new emphasis on what you can do and it seems to me that it would be an interesting endeavor for you to make a series of videos for purchase that would teach furniture repair and treatment for the beginner. It would be another good way to pass along your knowledge and skills. I like the idea that it would be a way to have furniture be of longer use . Take care and be well! Second thought, I would be interested in learning about you and your horse(s) too! K
