You mention the glass here. I think it is so interesting how it was made. From what I understand. they would blow like a big wine bottle, QUICKLY lay it on a sheet of metal, then cut a seam lengthwise and let it fall flat. Can you imagine the work and skill involved in that? It took them a while to figure out how to press it, for some reason. Call me crazy but your channel is entertainment plus.

Hi Trena, put a rubber band round the glue bottle so you can tuck the cap into it. You've probably been told that a billion times, so sorry if there's a reason that doesn't work. I love watching your work. You put such love into each piece and your colour work is second to none. I hope the move goes ok.

I’ve missed you and your videos, but had gotten so used to you not being here that I only saw this video late this afternoon, instead of two days ago when it was posted! I’m glad the move went well. I made a huge move in 1995 from California back to Texas after my husband and I decided to end out 27 year toxic marriage. I drove a Budget truck with 27 ft of cargo space, a tow dolly and my Miata and began my new life. And….life is good!

I was so excited to see another of your videos. I know you are trying to move and I am just happy you actually gave us one of these. I have to tell you - My mother purchased a danish modern teak dining table in 1970 or so. The poor thing had been badly used and abused for the last 15 years in a family member's smoking and drinking garage. It had water marks, sun fading, cigarette burns, deep scratches, etc. I almost cried when I saw it. WELL - using everything I have learned from you, I fixed it. It still has signs of the years it has gone through, but it is beautiful It will be my dining table in my home. I am so proud and happy and I owe it to you and your videos. Sorry for being so long winded but I wanted to tell you thank you! PS - I think that fabric is oilcloth. Oilcloth, also known as enameled cloth or American cloth, is close-woven cotton duck or linen cloth with a coating of boiled linseed oil to make it waterproof.

This was a pleasant surprise to see your notification pop up, and it didn’t long to get into the video, wonderful surprise, thank you. I have, as I recall, never seen a piece made of Elm wood, but the graining is beautiful, shame to have to cover it, but, customer gets what they ask for. Nice repair/ restoration on the component parts. I enjoyed this video immensely. Now, as for you young lady, you must feel like your in a rat race right now, and I have experience what you are going thru, what worked for me was to walk away from it all for a few hours, get a cup of really good hot, black coffee, a disgustingly good desert and a real good book, find a corner in a coffee shop, and enjoy, trust me, it felt like I could accomplish an 8 hour work day in 3 hours, and it carried thru for a few days, it was refreshing. I wish you the best, be well.

Just recently “found” your channel and just wanted you to know I have learned a lot watching you repair furniture. It has make me a little more confident attempting to refinish 2 very old dressers. You are a very good teacher. Hard for me to believe anyone would criticize your finishing choices but I think people find it much easier to be very critical and complain when they are anonymous. Not that you need my “approval” but I think you do an awesome job. Girl…you got skills…most men would be envious of so don’t give the “haters” any credibility…just keep doing what you are doing. When you finish with things I have NO DOUBT they looked better when you got finished that they did when they were new! I live in Mississippi and we don’t have many of the awesome products you use…wish we did…but we have a big “throw away” culture here. 😢

Our air quality has been terrible. The desk turned out beautiful. Your work is impeccable. The integrity of the piece is still evident even though you had to make repairs and restain it. Your customer must have been very pleased. Please take care of yourself, rest and stay safe. I am sure that you will be very happy living so close to your family. Your garden is spectacular.

Lovely restoration and good to see you. Your garden looks great. Youve got the touch. About that black cloth. When I was small, long ago, a piece of that cloth was tucked in with my school supplies every year. A three foot square piece, along with one of dads old shirts to be used as a paint smock were required art equipment. On the day we had Art class we covered our desks with it before we began creating. Its duck cloth, very closely woven that is coated in boiled linseed oil to make it waterproof. Its called oilcloth or even American cloth, and is still available in hardware stores, DIY stores and even fabric stores. It was fun to see it.

My late wife and I had a cabinet like that, with that same glass, from the early 1700s. We gave it to a collector neighbor of ours, rather than risk it, driving across country from Philadelphia to San Diego. Decades later, I'm convinced it was the right decision.

We had Dutch Elm here in the UK aswell, it's brutal once the tree is infected that's it, plus you have to clear any trees around it. Lovely to see our master craftsman back, to be honest I don't think we were expecting to see you again until after the move. Moving house is stressful enough anyway and that's without moving a workshop aswell, children will cope they are pretty resilient. You need to take a day out just for you, it's more important that you are well both physically and mentally. ❤️👍

Yeah, you sounded more than a little stressed. I hope that's all behind you now that your in Saskatchewan . A mid-century company in the UK made solid elm furniture - ERCOL. By the time I could afford it, they'd run out of Elm, which is a wood I love too. A sensitive restoration on such an impressive piece. Your veg. garden looks wonderful !

So happy to see you doing another video. It has been a while but, as I am in the middle of selling my home for the last 32 years and moving into a retirement village (not that you are allowed to retire in the foreseeable future) I have some idea of the disjointed turmoil that shutting down one home and starting up another causes. Looking forward to your continuing series of videos. I am seeing some of the mistakes I have made in the past on various projects highlighted by your expertise. Keep up the good work.
