When everything goes wrong 😩

[@JamesDeese]

My dear Trena, While we are not close friends, we are fans and a support group of sorts in your life, we are sensitive to your shift in mood or, as you have said, the strain and tiredness that comes with the day-to-day struggles with life. It may seem that we can be demanding. But remember that these videos are our connection to you. It is like waiting on a letter from home, and no pressure is intended. The first time I laid eyes on you last year, I was gobsmacked. You remind me of the qualities my own daughter possesses. You are steadfast. You love your family fiercely. You are a hard worker. And you are clear-headed. Yet, even so, you are human and will tire from time to time. Add to that the stress and strain of a life lived, and that can drain you. It is not for us to know the particular of your life. But be assured that you are cared for, even loved, in this community. As a Christian pastor, I have added you and all those I watch on KZbin to my prayer list. I know, a stranger praying for you, but that is my call. I pray for all that I meet and for all those I counsel. It is not a bad thing having someone care for you along those lines. My own mother prayed for her children daily, and I can tell you that we all miss it in our lives. All this is to assure you, as a human being, that you are cared for by this community. We thank you for all you do. We stand with you in this time of need and rest. Blessings, Rev. Jim Deese

wow!, your support is better than any new tool. I am so blown away by the support from my followers and i just cant believe how kind and generous people are in this community. thankyou so much for your beautiful words and thankyou the most for your prayers they are priceless and i feel blessed to be on your radar. thankyou thankyou thankyou!

Oh, Trina, I am so envious of you! I always loved working with wood and refinishing furniture, although I never did any repairs like you do. Somebody else did those for me. Always wanted to learn turning, too. I needed a good teacher, like you! Now I’m too old to start in again (84). Love your videos, learn a lot which I love!

I've been encouraged to do my very first restoration; an old jewellery box. So it's gonna take me ages; maybe another couple of months. So what, if these old hands protest at doing "fiddly stuff? I'll get there in the end! Thanks Trena, for inspiring me! Much love, coming your way.

[@kathrynshelley3806]

@@abigailhamilton8983 Hi Abigail. Yes I know I’m not too old to start in again, but arthritic hands stop me from too much handwork. I started refinishing furniture at age 13 in 4-H and continued til age 70! Remember when everybody was painting and glazing furniture in the 60’s and 70’s? I did that, too. The days before chalk paint. I painted my kitchen walls red and glazed and antiqued with black. It was stunning to say the least! Later I wallpapered one wall in the master bath with aluminum foil sheets. I’ve done it all. Now I watch the younger generation on KZbin!

[@robertadriver6931]

The wash stand is beautiful. It's so funny though because as I keep looking at it the wash stand somewhat reminds me of a washstand primarily crafted for the gentleman of the house. The 2 little shelves remind me they were possibly crafted for the use in shaving.

There is a fine line between restoration and repairing, like you I think it's important to keep the soul of the item that your restoring.

Also that's the easy way out and I know you like a challenge. 🤗👍 Definitely a FUBAR day!

Unreal display of craftsmanship in so many areas. You are NOT a one trick pony. Can't get over the draw pulls.

[@Redraven2967]

I get asked that same question all the time: “ Why spend all that’s time fixing the broken piece when it would be easier to make a new piece and nobody would know the difference?” For me the answer is; Historical integrity. The more of the original you have, the closer you are to what the original piece of furniture was when it was created 150, 200, 250 years ago. Not to mention if it is done right it maintains a higher value if your customer ultimately decides to sell the piece. Keep doing it right. When I heard you say you where going to just clear coat this my heart jumped! A craftsman after my own heart! Nothing the beautiful should be covered up.

Old pieces of furniture are like old people. All individuals moulded by their journey through life. It can hardly be a surprise that some turn out to be a bit grumpy and taciturn. A washstand would be the worst. It’s seen folk at the end of the day, stood by as they scrubbed off dirt & sweat & tears. Been spilled on, messed on. Had baby poop, sick, blood, all sorts of gunk smeared on it. It’s entitled to a little grump. By the way, a Scottish thing to do. A superstition. If you have two mishaps: break a glass, spill a drink… go outside and break a twig. Things come in threes. You are making up the three. It lets the bad luck go. I love your channel. I love to watch your hands at work, so soothing. Whilst you woodwork, I stitch. Together we create. I just love the way you just say”mmmm.. need new fancy handles, I’ll just make some. “ Oops. Lathe broken. Repositioned motor. I could hear the tears of frustration in your voice. You are such a trooper. I personally blame the weather. Rainy days are the worst. 😊❤❤❤

Hello Trena. I stumbled onto your channel. I love wood, but I am not a wood worker per se. I have been watching your work for a few episodes or so. I keep thinking to myself:- This lady is really skilled. I am technically inclined and find pleasure and relaxation in watching you restore precious pieces of wooden art. I completely identify with Rev Jim Deese and agree to what he said. A silent thought I had was just this:- The restoration makes the project absolutely beautiful but it will never be new again.
