Finally got over a month long illness the sun is shining and now there a Thomas Johnson video to watch.Life is good.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Great! Thank you! glad you're better

Can’t believe you’re going to make us wait - when we already know it’s going to look pretty good! 😊

We'll see! Thanks!

[@graceamerican3558]

That’s what I just thought. Heyyy you’re gonna leave us hangin’? 😅

[@howardschaefer1445]

To think 10 years ago you made 3 minute videos, now another installment video. Excellent!

[@johnsonrestoration]

It's amazing! people demanded more details! Thanks

[@janis6363]

The tension builds for pt 2. Can’t wait for the creaking antique lady’s desk to rise again.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Yes! The suspense is killing me!

[@timtaylor1365]

[@johnsonrestoration]

Wow, thanks! That's great

[@janinegaylard9233]

Thank you! After recently experiencing a personal tragedy my anxiety levels are high and watching your steady and beautiful work and listening to your calm voice have helped me immensely. 💕

[@johnsonrestoration]

You're welcome! I hope you can heal.

[@Joe1935429]

I always find it amusing that something that seems to be falling apart is tenacious about not coming the rest of the way so easily. Thanks. See you at the finish line.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Always the case! Thanks

[@groreistad5234]

As the video was nearing its end I thought “No way he’ll finish this in the time left”, and my hopes grew for a second part. I really appreciate that you decided to make your videos longer and sometimes in two parts, it gives us the opportunity to see all the details and enjoy your craftsmanship. Thank you.

[@johnsonrestoration]

You're welcome!

[@funonutube100]

I just found your site a few days ago and I feel like I have discovered a hidden gold mine. I cannot begin to tell you the joy it gives me watching your videos. It feels like I travel back in time watching your old school master craftmanship. Excellent teachings on how to do it right and VERY entertaining. I sure hope you are passing all this on to someone to carry forward a dying tradition . Thank you so very much!!! Hello from Canada.

[@johnsonrestoration]

You're welcome! Well, I'm passing it on through these videos!

[@whitexeno]

oh snap, a 2 parter. the suspense is building xD

[@johnsonrestoration]

Keep 'em on edge! Thanks!

[@petegraham1458]

I learn something every time I watch you work , I am 68 and have been building , creating and fixing stuff since I was very young , I still have the tool kit myFather gave me for my fifth birthday, real tools just small in size including a Used Bedrock #2 he found. This craft has captivated me as an engineer, I have worked on 5 continents, lived on three of them but still recognize I have a lot to learn! Thanks to you for your educational videos !

[@petegraham1458]

By the way my 5 year old tool kit has that same Stanley hammer seen in this video.

[@johnsonrestoration]

That is awesome! Thanks! I wish I had a plane like that #2!

[@raeyurek8065]

This video is absolutely mesmerizing. I wish I had found you 15 years ago. I have learned so much. Thank you for your generosity. And I love your dog. She reminds me of my late best friend, Toby.

[@johnsonrestoration]

You are so welcome!

[@SouthOfGate]

“......And that’s those daggone diagonal dowels.” My new favorite alliteration! It look sVERY good.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thank you!

[@KeithMinnion]

I appreciate your two-part detailed videos of late. Seeing every step, and the thought-process behind them, is fascinating.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks! Glad you like them!

[@jill552]

But we have to wait for “I think it looks pretty good”. It’s torture. 😫

[@cmmc3400]

I have watched this twice already! This man's vision of how a job like this should be done is top-notch! Thank you again, Tom, you make me smile. I wish I could still do this work, I would beg you to help me with a statue of driftwood that has never been leveled. I am ashamed to say that it has sat on a doily which was folded over so it wouldn't fall forward. I recently saw the carving and realized I had a great piece of Pipestone with a lip on it. Now the beautiful carving of a woman with her hair bundled in ringlets and curls, her sapphire stone on the Mindseye (some call it the third eye), sits looking up instead of at the floor. I love wood. I have bought seeds for the Bristle Cone Pine, the longest growing tree in the world, so I could have one planted on my ashes. Trees and I have been friends for a long time, I was obviously a tree-hugging hippy in my day. Funny isn't it? Like the Cobblers children running barefoot, my collection of wooden carvings got put to the back burner when I was doing restorations. Now I can't say honestly that I have even dusted them in the last few months. Ah, the twilight years....LOL. Pft, I wish I hadn't sold my tools. who in their right mind sells that stuff just because you can't use it anymore? LOL...jk.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thank you! Those carvings sound really interesting! I can't imagine not having my tools

[@Bloodlvst]

I am absolutely loving these two-parters! In a world of short, easy-to-digest KZbin content, I really appreciate that I can just hang out in your shop for a half hour at a time and just enjoy watching a piece come together :)

[@johnsonrestoration]

Great to hear! Thank you! Some have complained about it being 2 parts. I think most like it

[@MystiqueULH]

What I so appreciate about your work is that it reminds me of growing up in Germany and always being told by my grandfather 'do quality work or don't do it at all' Your attention to detail is absolutely fascinating and I appreciate watching you. My house burned down last year and soon I will have a new one built. I will fill it with solid wooden furniture buying 2nd hand and refinish them if needed. Watching you I learn so much about doing it. My late husband worked at one time in a refinishing shop called the Strip Joint (I had some fun with that) and I picked up a few things here and there. However watching you is a whole different thing. They weren't that particular about doing things and I pick up so much more from you. Thanks for putting out those videos. I love them

[@johnsonrestoration]

You're welcome Ursula! I'm so sorry about your house, but using old furniture will really help it feel homey. I like "The Strip Joint"! Good luck!

[@paulgray964]

A thoughtful and considered restoration - well done again Tom.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thank you!

[@lianapalumbo8457]

I have those spring clamps, but had no idea that they could be adjusted. I learn something in every video and can hardly wait for part 2!!! Good to see your supervisor is always watching closely 😊

[@rmsbrooks5606]

Me either now I know how to fix it to a better tension, I'm surprised I wasn't the only one that had an "ah haa".

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks! Not all spring clamps, those are made to be adjustable

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks!

[@NZbird]

Tom, can't thank you enough. Your videos are outstanding in their own right but your way of thinking and approach to restorations has extended my own approach to woodworking in general around our property. Every day is a school day thanks to you! Geoff in NZ

I have watched enough of your videos to know how skilled you are but I just couldn't stop myself from cringing when you were removing the legs. I was at the edge of my seat!

[@johnsonrestoration]

Me too! Thanks!

[@wvrieselaar]

Impressive display of patience, perseverance and craftsmanship. Watching you unblock the hinges was satisfying. Watching you take the legs off was nerve wrecking. Looking forward to my favourite part: the finish.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!

A Thomas Johnson video on a pretty spring day--who could ask for anything more? Actually, there is one thing: part two of this video! I had no idea the video was coming to an end before Tom said "stay tuned for part two." Watching these videos is so relaxing, I have no sense of time.

Nice repair. Looking forward to the finish. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.

[@johnsonrestoration]

You're welcome!

[@margaretbedwell58]

Now I understand why restoration differs from repair. That was most interesting. You have to really understand how furniture was put together back in the day in order to be able to take it apart without further damage. In the beginning I could figure out how or why they had put 3 dowels at different angle into the desk to support the legs. Thank you so much for sharing this very intensive restoration. You are definitely a master at your craft. Have a Blessed day.

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thank you! yes, this was a tough one!

[@dadams9158]

I agree that "Antique Lady" likely loves your great work on her Writing Desk! GREAT Work on those angled dowels! Keep it UP!

[@dlevi67]

This form of furniture (small desk on legs) is often called a 'Lady's desk'... independent of its age and the age and gender of the owner.

[@johnsonrestoration]

It's interesting to think about - so the gender connotation relates to the piece itself rather than the intended owner?

[@dlevi67]

@@johnsonrestoration Well... I think generally small, dainty and highly decorated pieces were seen as pieces suitable for a Lady's apartments rather than a Gentleman's rooms - and they may have been originally commissioned/made/purchased _for_ a Lady, but the name was (is) independent of the actual owner's gender then, never mind where the piece eventually ended 100+ years later. See for example art/collection/search/390607 on the Metropolitan Museum website (sorry, if I post a link the whole answer gets deleted by KZbin!)
