Sweet Dreams Restored

[@johnunger3131]

Nice work Trena, love watching you play with furniture. ❤ Dad.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks Dad!

[@haplessdilettante]

John, if you were a jew, you'd be kvelling.

[@ianlester9738]

You’ve done well with her! I’m sure you’re so proud!

[@richardrodgers1883]

Someone taught her well.

[@fdort3971]

Thank you for teaching her and us. Thank you for supporting her...that's a real dad!

[@bernddalladas6159]

Nice to see a natural pretty girl without all that makeup, and very talented as well

[@texanasimmons1761]

OMG, Trena! You did a magnificent job restoring this beautiful antique bed. The attention and care you gave to the tiniest details shows your dedication to your job! Thanks!❤🛏

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thank you so much!

[@dennishinkle5010]

Can you imagine 40 to 50 years from now getting to see this bed again. Maybe it will last for 100 years. Superior crafting and attention to detail. Thank you.

[@raywood8187]

I wanted to say I purchased some Impact votes for Laura. I saw it also supports the American Lung Association and I could not have stayed a non smoker for 16 years without their support and encouragement by the members of their Freedom From Smoking group! I quit the day my lung spontaneously collapsed - great motivator, anyway - and might not be here today if I had not quit.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Wow! Thankyou Ray! Snd I am so greatful you did. Stay healthy

[@PANRamalho]

From Portugal. Fantastic restoration work. Very good. We await new video. A hug and a lot of health

[@claudeelliott3993]

Never would have thought of cutting a mortise with a reciprocating saw until I watched you do it!! Amazing!

[@sixcylinders6346]

🤣 I loved the little “seriously” when the piece snapped off while taking the nail out. I felt your pain.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

thanks. lol

[@kenc2257]

Beautiful! That last color adjustment (to tone down the yellow) really enhanced the overall look. I like this new look, as it emphasizes the lovely grain of the wood.

[@edrosa5079]

Awesome Work i really enjoy the look of natural wood instead of paint

[@ashleyosborne6239]

This is a stunning transformation, Trena. Your woodworking continues to amaze me as well as your eye for color to create a cohesive all over finish. Exceptional work every time.💜

[@suzettehenderson9278]

Oh, the grain on that headboard. So beautiful. Great job.

[@johnmckenzie427]

Great job again. You are a real pro. Thanks for sharing.

[@NElj-yq9qi]

Another beautiful job Trena!! Will keep voting for your friend Laura to win! God Bless.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks for voting

[@mlm7598]

Trena, that bed is absolutely gorgeous. How beautiful would that be in the bedroom with a lovely bedspread or coverlet on it. It's absolutely amazing the beautiful work you do and make magic restoring. Your father was a wonderful teacher and you a awesome student to take that wonderful craft on. Few and far between can do what you do and make it look so beautiful and with such ease. Thank you for sharing.......it's absolutely breathtaking! God bless

[@jimbeliveau8354]

Super job again .you do awesome work. You Turn Old to new. Great job!

[@robertacomeau6504]

Gorgeous hand carved embellishments and highlighted wood finish. Your perseverance, determination and certainly accomplished project and inspiring work. Look forward to seeing your next one. 😊

[@MrJeffers06]

Excellent!

[@davearnold9328]

Wow, I started thinking at first that this bed wouldn't be worth kindling to me. But your expertise and craftsmanship are just incredible. What a beautiful restoration. I can only imagine the customer will be thrilled if not already.

[@jchildofgod3272]

Trena- Now thats a bed worthy of sleeping in. I love the wavy desert sand lines in the head board they really are fantastic. Thanks again for sharing, we love you.

[@Dachsie1960]

Another stunning piece Trena that showcases your craftmanship. Beautiful xx

[@stoveboltlvr3798]

You did it again. Made it look totally original with your mixing of colors. I had to notice the beauty in the grain of the two top boards of the headboard, that is so nice. You made a good call by keeping the original leg.

[@m.h.w.weckseler]

Great work. This could go straight into an antique shop... To be sold for a hefty price, and a story about it being stored in the attic for 200 years and hardly used. 😁

[@jamesdemaray3464]

Your understanding of color in relation to wood is very good!!! Thanks for the detailed walkthrough of why you choose different stains!

[@yvesdemers17]

Ho! This a wonderful job again! You are an Angel my Friend! You can do everything with your hands and you look Gorgeous! Thanks to you!💋❤️💋❤️

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@leeschreiweis6326]

I certainly do enjoy watching you doing these restorations and the attention to detail and colour matching. Thank you 😊.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

You are very welcome

[@Mountain-Momma]

I love elm furniture! It's such a shame that disease wiped out the species in the. US. Thanks for another incredible restoration. I always learn from you!

[@dazuk1969]

Don't know about the voting thing, but I want to give a big shout to whoever sent you that DeWalt hot gun....massive respect whoever you are. Can I have shop dog please JFR ?....I will give you some money...I saw her on the trampoline and she melted me. God bless n peace to ya.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

lol, come visit her

[@PhilippeDekyvereBe]

about glue buildup, you can detect glue with a UV black light.

[@gregmorrical2283]

I really enjoy your attention to detail and the care and consideration you put into each decision you make. You do beautiful work! Thanks for showing it!

[@ronwhite6719]

Wow! Awesome transformation and great repair. Looks like like Laura has jumped to first place. Good luck Laura.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

because of my amazing friends here! Thankyou!

[@davidfarley1175]

Trena, you are more than a furniture restorer you dear are an artist love to watch you mixing and matching colors I truly believe being a woman you know how something should look

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

it doesn't have much to do with my gender, just experience and learning with my dad. cheers

[@marywiklander-williams6493]

Some one will sleep nicely in that pretty bed. Good information about the appliqués....They do looks so rich.

[@jamescole1786]

3/27/22; oh yes Trenta, another excellent job stripping orange bed frame, head & foot ends. You made new bed/box/mattress side frames, very nice! Exceptional detail work on those 3D leaf 🍃 elements centered on head board & edges of vertical supports...really nice, time consuming work on those accent pieces. Then you spliced-in a new piece replacing a weak mid-span element! Wow! Your carpentry skills are impressive to watch as you so easily performed exacting plunge oscillating cuts, then installed the matching 'filler' piece perfectly fitting without slightest hint of seams ! You do very good work ! 👏 Then 'dabbing' slightly darker stain color on those Leaf Detail elements vs. different, lighter color, but dark, stain on body of headboard & all other components. The finished unit looks 'showroom' new & probably worth many $1000's. Another fantastic job! So, kick back & sip your favorite Eggnog, yup, you earned it...& your loyal viewers don't mind a little white mustache, aye!👩‍🔧😋👍👍👍😊

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou!

[@lesmeyer318]

I wish my Dad was alive to meet you. He would admire you and your talent working with wood and your desire to bring things to another life.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

would have loved too.

[@danaowen9014]

I think the owner will fall in love with the bed all over again.Great color change.

[@philrockabilly]

Trena, you can make the most boring bed frame interesting. 🙂 Great finish colour on this too. Cant wait for the next video. Phil.

[@andydawkins805]

Amazing work , looks so so much better . The original couler was so bland , very clever lady 👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧

[@carolynswilley1253]

Absolutely beautiful

[@dennisgagnon5590]

I worry less about every piece of wood perfectly matching in color. For 37 years I was a varnish guy. You have shown me that lacquer is the way to go.

[@richardtomkinson9951]

Great to see a piece restored and back to life, the timber grain when stained stood out so well, lovely finish, well done.

[@pjchris90]

This video shows off all your skills: proper deconstruction, various repairs, replacement where indicated, art work, sculpture, stripping, sanding, staining, color toning and finishing. The end product achieving the best possible presentation and is stronger physically than before. No wonder your shop keeps filling up with work! I hope you put a sticker on the end product somewhere showing who did the restoration.

[@tomrodgers8097]

The bed looks better than the original. The new color looks great. And Laura gets my vote. Love you guys. God bless!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks Tom!

[@HBTwoodworking]

Trena, I continue to stand in awe. Your talents (restoration, repair, filmography) are outstanding. Your honesty and transparency in presenting your efforts come across as genuine. I appreciate that. Keep up the great work! - Phil

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou!

[@noelle7714]

Turned out beautiful. Love to watch how you make/do the repair work, adding the missing pieces etc. shows the level of your workmanship and talent you have, always going above and beyond. 😊👏

[@michaelcarter1963]

My ex wife and I had one very similar with the same problem with the rails. Just one rail. It ended up getting repaired about 4 times! Once by a furniture repair person. It still broke! At least one more time! No appliqués involved.

[@olledahlquist3784]

Watching other furniture repair videos they say that when using PVA you should always put glue on both sides. Are you not using PVA or is there a reason to why you don't put glue on both sides? They also say that you must put pressure to the parts that are glued when using PVA. I don't know, I just like watching and trying to learn before I will start my attempts to salvage (ha ha) some old furniture that I have. Wish me luck! Just noticed that you did put glue and clamped parts of the bed - I made my comment during watching the video. ;-)

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks for watching

[@swimrski]

My favorite part was when you rebuilt the leaf tips. Beautiful work.

[@scharlottehart9321]

Beautiful!!!

[@jill552]

Beautiful. I love the way you work with tint. You have taught me a lot even though I will never do this.

[@TheCatlady63]

I enjoy watching people work with wood and have become addicted to your channel. I love your attention to detail.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Awesome, thank you!

[@talegunner115]

Really love watching your restoration/repair videos. You have a great talent. You go the extra mile when it comes to finishing a piece of art!

[@sallybruska1499]

You do the most amazing work. I really appreciate your hard work especially when you restore a piece.

[@dennisfar9457]

You give me such pleasure to watch you do your magic! I so appreciate you preserving the history that is incorporated in each piece that you bring back to its original glory.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou!

[@vernonland5987]

A totally fresh look. Your use of tone is amazing as is your lacquer work.

[@Schnooks83]

Phenomenal work again Trena! I look at your pieces and think they are perfect, then you state you are going to tint it, and they end up even better! So happy to see beautiful furniture repaired, restored and given new life!

[@mrscalifdreamer]

Such a pleasure to see a master at work! Beautiful finishing and those side rails are perfect!

[@PghFlip]

Lovely piece/restoration, sure to please generations to come!

[@lynnew5619]

Very beautiful bed frame. That grain is gorgeous. Glad you were able to tone out the yellow/orange colour. I never understand why that is so popular. Another great job. 👏

[@jdavidkatz]

Outstanding job. Bravo.

[@anitamorales1506]

I hope this project was as much fun to do as it was to watch. It is pure artistry. I am rooting for and voting for Laura every day. Thank you for a wonderful video.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

You are awesome! Thankyou Anita!

[@redhawk4859]

Another Fine Job

[@hotchinahk]

Your skill and patience is amazing, love to see you are using all the Dewalt tools now as I am a Dewalt tools nut, enjoy your coffee 👍

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou!

[@jannamarie3990]

Your talent and attention to detail never fails to amaze me!! ❤

[@DebdeK]

thank you, I enjoy watching your concentration to minor details. when you were making the broken missing pieces it looked like you were relaxed and enjoying your time to create. i wish you were closer to montana but windsor is nice too, just too far!

[@ralphsullender2474]

Love your attention to detail .

[@simonlunt353]

As always Trena you have done a great job watching a master at their work is enjoyable can’t wait to see more as l have said before it would be a great honour to come and work with you but I think it would be a long way for me as l live in the uk 🇬🇧 🤣 stay safe 👏👏

[@lariette856]

Absolutely amazing work! I can't believe the difference; beautiful work!!!

[@deniselawrence2167]

Stunning

[@c.a.g.1977]

43:46 that woodgrain on the second board from the top is just so freakin' amazing! Good job, Trena!

[@darryleevans5930]

It looks beautiful, your father must be so proud of you,

[@TheDivasoprano]

So beautiful. Love that it’s no longer orange.

[@kevincorbin6273]

Trena is a rock star! Her talent and knowledge are second to none! Trena’s color matching is impeccable! Thanks for sharing your beautiful story

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

thanks Kevin

[@glennlariva6896]

Just gorgeous. It's a pleasure watching you work, Trena.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thank you so much!

[@hjemison]

Repairing the crooked rail seems to have straightened the rail somewhat. Excellent restoration, as usual!

[@raeanngodfrey6986]

Once again you teach me the art of patience. your tinting skills are epic. So happy that Laura is doing well. will keep voting for her.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thank you so much 😀

[@thcall6441]

So very skillful in all you do. Impressive that you dive in- cutting, chiseling, nailing etc. when you were staining with that wide brush and using those wispy strokes, I thought I was watching a Bob Ross program. No little trees. 😄 Lol.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

lol

[@barbarabeard6017]

Beautiful work and colors! Worth the hard work and TLC!

[@terrydawson4594]

Love, love, love the new color. So much better! Would you please try to include the customer’s reaction if possible?

[@pamelalee1841]

Thank you once again Trena for bringing such a peaceful Spirit to my day ... I love how you transform all your projects back to perfection.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

You are so welcome

[@adeh503]

Wow, the colour change just takes this piece to a whole new level 👏

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

It does!

[@brendadavis5252]

I really enjoy wayching you do your work . You make it look so simple and easy. You are a very talented person. But I know you learned a lot from your dad. He is a really really smart soul.

[@Timhey0912]

In the beginning of this one, I thought you said you were painting this bed. My heart sank, but the customer is always right. But then you started staining and I was like WoW! So glad and it turned out beautiful!! The appliques looked like jewelry on that head board. The grain was perfection! Trena you are amazing! So happy for your friend, thanks for the update!💙💛

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou Tim!

[@alangilchrist7562]

Trena, it was great to hear about Laura! Thank you for the update. I must say I'm continually impressed with your color work!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thank you so much!

[@Ferdy1969]

Wow, from naff to baff !!! The beds went from $10 to $500 . Great work 🥰👍🏻

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Yes! Thank you!

[@paulpalmer9970]

Lol trena,you made me laugh when you said oh whatever when that piece broke on you,the air would have been blue with bad language if that happened to me,😂😂 yet another brilliant restoration

[@tommie5967]

Obviously you listened to your father very well. It shows .he must be one proud papa

[@sonnyjimm23]

The grain of that timber is incredible, I have not seen elm before I'm in Australia so it's not a common timber used here. A standout piece, amazing.

[@glenfisher728]

Another beautiful and skilled restoration !

[@galas455]

Nice job, I learned some new ways to solve certain problems, thanks.

[@daviddaniels6473]

You are a truly talented craftsperson! Your attention to detail and eye for color/tint are phenomenal
