MOVING DAMAGE -- How to repair a crushed corner

[@agomodern]

I restore furniture and for me it would be so difficult to do how to videos. Doing restoration is tedious enough without having to video tape it and explain step by step the process. On top of that people love to nitpick and complain that what someone is doing is the wrong way. Kudos to you Trena and nice work as always.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks. It’s is tough sometimes for sure.

[@MsRmaclaren]

Sweet. Thanks, Trena!

[@marylong4693]

I used to scotchtape the broken off piece at the corner, thinking once the rest of the broken cracks were repaired, but I did not have the necessary clamps or vices. Clumsy movers didn't listen to my move instructions, mistepped at odd maneuver & hit a door jam near stairwell. You are fixing it just the way I wanted to, right down to using wood putty to shape it.

[@jimbooth3]

I was introduced to wood working in shop classes in 1957. I don't build for profit, mostly for my own use. I've built cabinets, desks, beds, dresser, etc. At 78 years of age I'm still learning and watching your channel has been both inspiring and enlightening. You truly are a master craftsman. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou

[@bobpiec]

So that how we fix a crushed corner! Wow!! Thanks Trena.

[@ginger1549]

What a beautiful piece of furniture. I'm sure the owner was heartsick when they saw it crushed. As usual, you did a perfect job of repairing it.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou!

[@marylong4693]

I wasn't happy about the movers' damage, but it could not be undone. At that time, I could not fix it myself due to a lack of time & financial resources as a single momwith no clamps or proper vices. I did not have the necessary clamps or vices. Trena did it as I had intended. When I had this & many other pieces she fixed & expertly restored, it brought back many nostalgic memories of days gone by. It is too bad that we cannot hit rewind to other times in our lives & taken a better path, but alas, we have to live with the mistaken choices & their consequences. I used to own these & many other pieces Trena has worked on sooo diligently. From time to time, I wondered what happened to them. Thank God🙏 , they did not go to a dump, were spared to get "a new life" with someone who will enjoy having them.

[@andrewbeckman351]

You truly can never have enough clamps in the woodworking department, I personally love these shorter clips on repairs.

[@peternicho]

My wife and kids always purchase clamps for my birthday and xmas.

[@2_Trillion_galaxies]

Trena I'm glad you chose this trade instead of a modelling career, you naturally had that choice ,I think this career would be more rewarding, and you're your own boss,

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

lol

[@NElj-yq9qi]

If I hadn't watched you repair that corner, a person would never know that it had been crushed. Great repair young lady!!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks!

[@shirleypedersen7406]

Well I’m amazed. I can’t see that there was any repair done. You’re a magician. Well done. Bravo Trena👍

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou

[@baronmeduse]

I didn't think the epoxy repair would turn put so well. That last short blast of toner was the two seconds difference that turned it into a perfect repair.

[@ArtzyJ9]

Brilliant clamp up and explanation of damage and repair!

[@MODiver57]

Thanks for posting an in depth "technical" video. It's helpful for us hobbyists to see how the pro's do their magic!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Your welcome

[@DonsWoodies]

Having done some refinishing and repair work on my and friends furniture, I am in awe of your skills. Astonishing work. Many, Many years ago the furniture store I worked at had an onsite repairman who was a master at the craft. Some of the things I saw him do were mind blowing. You are at least that good, and probably better. It's an absolute pleasure watching your videos. I've learned a lot from you, and maybe even be able to use some of that knowledge in the future. Not at your level, but better than I've done in the past. Thank you for sharing your obvious mastery of this craft.

[@oldtimer4863]

Simply incredible how you can repair something that looks squashed and damaged to being perfect looking as if nothing was wrong with it. I so much enjoyed watching this with my first cup of tea of the day.

[@medickaisu]

Like it never even happened. Great job.

[@WATTYATHINK]

Sweet .... so much better than my repairs using poly filler ...

[@sybilresh1905]

Amazing work!

[@XENONEOMORPH1979]

I have come here for the furniture but the blue eyed Canadian makes it so worth while to learn.

[@bethcrane5780]

Hey Treena, cool clamp up. Great tips. Need to add the skillshare link...take care.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Yes sorry it’s up now

[@richardlazarski4553]

This is the clampiest documentary I've seen yet..

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

lol

[@quietwoodworking]

Wow, you did an amazing job!

[@johng.]

Outstanding, Trena! Even on the "smaller" work, your attention to detail and the end result are simply stunning.

[@2old4u]

Another job well done. Beautiful craftsmanship.

[@vamps_rock]

Incredible. You really are a master at your craft. TFS 🤩

[@QuanahParker17]

Great job! I do a lot of moving damage in my furniture restoration business. Doing these in people's homes is extra hard! Thank God for the Mohawk company! Thanks for the awesome videos!

[@ralphsullender2474]

You have great color matching skills.

[@pitsnipe5559]

Your skill and talent just continue to amaze me. While my days of doing the kind of woodworking I’d like, I very much enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@elizabethblackwell1200]

Great job… love all the hints and it helps me with my own projects!!!

[@josealeman332]

First time I see this side of woodworking but you my hat off , you make magic here..:)

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou

[@kscheuerman5378]

Wonderful!!

[@jaspercho]

What a great job! I'm amazed.

[@jillatherton4660]

Elegant ornament.

[@bobnicholas5994]

I bet it was an amputation but loved how you tackled it!! Watching you is relaxing. Thanks

[@Schnooks83]

Another magical repair! No one would ever know that it was damaged. I can see how hard it is for you to keep track of time spent. I would bet that you get so into something, quite a bit of time can easily fly by. I was stripping a cedar chest (that was painted white and pink ) and spent 1 whole day getting into cracks with dental tools. Of course, I do it for family and friends as a hobby, but it is obvious that your expert eyes see things that the average person would not necessarily see, but be awed by your end results. You are truly an old world craftsman and artist. You do your father proud!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

thankyou!

[@donniejoemoore600]

Another great job. You are magic.

[@raeanngodfrey6986]

i think you have broken the record for most clamps used on a single fix. amazes me that we think of water damaging furniture, but you have shown us how it fixes it.

[@oscarzamora2911]

Excelente trabajo!!!!! Y hoy estabas muy bella con tu ligero maquillaje! 🤗

[@coelacanth9311]

You are an inspiration Trena!

[@cecedubois5147]

Incredible work! Brava!!

[@williamkilpatrick8030]

Nice work Trena.

[@disklamer]

Great demonstration, well explained and pragmatic. Now to reproduce the results. Best wear gloves when working with epoxy, some of the compounds are rather rich in solvents.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

yep

[@peternicho]

There is no end to your talents l have been inspired by your videos thanks

[@steve_weinrich]

A lovely, expert repair!

[@killerbeeez]

Trena you are my new Bob Ross... love all the videos ❤

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Lol. Thankyou

[@SteveC38]

Great work, Trena!

[@ahummerich2751]

I love your close up camera work. So much better to help us see. Thanks so much.

[@firstsgtpete8614]

I watch you work and the products you use as today, I stop the video and order whatever I want to use then continue the video. Such as the Mohawk epoxy puddy. Thanks.

[@metafive1]

Great vid, thanks Trena. It would be great to see a repair of a veneered corner that has already had a repair attempted if that comes up in your work

[@milsonfialho2725]

Another job well done.

[@jeffreysherow9485]

looked really good, nice job as always. BTW, one of the things I find is that if I don't have enough pieces to work on I get stuck without something to do while finish or glue or something else drys and becomes ready for the next step. I start my day with a detailed list of things that will get done each day including administration and sales.

[@elmerkilred159]

Your work is like magic! Excellent video as usual!

[@Paul-ow6of]

Wow! You sure know your stuff Trena. 👍

[@jrmintz1]

Amazing!

[@DanielJohnson-yr1ew]

Thank you for the journey. You do such awesome work.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou n

[@catherineengle4196]

Girl you are so good...you can't even tell there was damage to begin with. God bless

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks!

[@thomasschleis2545]

Beautiful restoration. You make it look so easy.

[@MikeWilliams-yp9kl]

SUPERB REPAIR, THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR VIDEO'S ESPECIALLY THIS ONE ON CRUSHED CORNERS 😍

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

[@Seahorse1414]

Love the backing track from shopdog....she sounds very sweet x

[@kentshrader6616]

Just bought you a coffee. Really great videos! Keep on keeping on!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou!

[@lon3730]

your talent is amazing

[@jomercer21113]

Wonderful results, as always!

[@oldbikerbear]

Great work Trina. Personally I believe the keeping track of time and cost effectiveness to be the toughest part. I get lost in the work far too easily.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

I totally agree!

[@gailcullinan]

Master craftsman and incredible repair Trena. Wow,

[@Cradley684]

Great job Trena, have a nice day !!!. 😀😃

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thank you 🤗

[@Cradley684]

Credit where it is due !!!.

[@timtoulson9662]

Beautifully done and fascinating as ever. Thank you. How is shop dog? 😊

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

She great!

[@raymitchell9736]

Trena, the repair is invisible! Amazing!!! I don't know if you were going for a world record for number of clamps per square inch on that nightstand... you know, the Guinness World Book of Records... kind of like how many people can fit in a phonebooth or Volkswagen LOL... Enjoyed the shorter video that focused on a common issue. One thing that I'm in awe of is that your shop has all those products and you know how to match the colors... and to mention: tons of experience! WOW! I'm always impressed with your skills.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks.

[@terryrogers1025]

Another great tutorial, thanks for the video, enjoyed it.

[@Timhey0912]

Really impressive repair!!

[@xoxo2008oxox]

I'm not a fan of that style. But sure am a fan of that repair! I mean, in the end... I wouldn't have known any damage! Excellent repair!

[@lyleturner6964]

you are so talented

[@phillipbateman2284]

An excellent repair Trena. Skill share does sound quite interesting, but I'm a little long in the tooth to start thinking along those lines, any way, you're teaching me more than I'll ever use, but definitly worth while for the just in cases. Many thanks, and take care.

[@jalechavez6042]

Excelente..!!...Imperceptible...Muy Buen trabajo, Lindaaa...Un Beso.....

[@adammaynard3179]

Love what you are doing

[@clemenciarodner2339]

Excellent!

[@Tammy-un3ql]

incredible.

[@maddieadams75]

Nice repairs.

[@dennishinkle5010]

I have to replace the veneer on a coffee table and have not done such a large area before. Are most brands about the same or do I need to look for a specific one. It will be a mahogany if that makes any difference. You did a magnificent job on the corner can't tell it was ever crushed. Thank you for all you do for us.

[@mightyporky]

excellent

[@rubberbiscuit99]

This is so cool

[@raywood8187]

Beautiful repair and restore, as always! I wonder if there is insurance to cover damages like this by movers? Okay, I'm off to buy you a coffee Trena ☕😎

[@johnsfurniturerepair]
