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!

[@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!

[@sixcylinders6346]

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

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

thanks. lol

[@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.

[@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!

[@PANRamalho]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@seangraver5511]

this is where you excel Trena.. the work you did on the fleur de le shaped piece shows your integrity to keep the original woodwork procedure..as you say .. you could order .. or buy.. similar.. but you do a proper job .. i have soo much respect for you .. and your work .. you are not only a restorer .. you are an ARTIST xxxx

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou !

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@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.💜

[@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.

[@Ferdy1969]

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

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Yes! Thank you!

[@claudeelliott3993]

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

[@danaowen9014]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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. 😊

[@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.

[@suzettehenderson9278]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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. 😁

[@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.

[@richardtomkinson9951]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

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

[@Dachsie1960]

Another stunning piece Trena that showcases your craftmanship. Beautiful xx

[@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. 😊👏

[@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

[@nena4215]

Holy cow, you’ve given that bed another long, long life, crazy good skills, gorgeous job!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thank you! 😊

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@josephkerley363]

You really nailed it with the work you did on the applique! Well done. You clearly rate a Tom Johnson "Pretty good" on this project.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Lol. Wow highest honor.

[@TheDivasoprano]

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

[@edcrego8487]

Simply builtiful iwas scared to death you were going to paint the bed you are a very talented woodworker your father taught you well and you learned well your a young lady but many years ahead of us older woodworkers your attention to detail is amazing

[@edcrego8487]

Thanks for the heart my I'm 69 years old full of arthritis but still working my craftsmanship has increased enmensly from Learning from you may God bless and thank you

[@CALB2009]

@Trena~ She's a beauty! Your meticulous attention to every detail is second to none and it truly shines through in all of your finished restoration pieces. The dynamic movement in the grain figure of the Elm used in this piece is simply spectacular! Your color work brought that figure to life the way it was meant to be! BRAVO! I'm thrilled to hear that our votes for Laura have gotten her through to the Final 15! I will continue to vote for her daily :-). CHEERS! ~~Christy~~

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou Christy!

[@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. 👏

[@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!

[@swimrski]

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

[@mrscalifdreamer]

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

[@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.

[@edrosa5079]

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

[@johnmckenzie427]

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

[@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!

[@begie3006]

Watching you work with the appliques all I can say is, wow, you truly are an artist!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

[@andydawkins805]

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

[@vernonland5987]

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

[@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!

[@c.a.g.1977]

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

[@egdg120575]

I love your videos. You work so meticulously to keep the old pieces looking old.

[@hjemison]

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

[@ginger1549]

Another beautiful job. Glad to hear your friend is progressing and that we can help her.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thank you very much!

[@sallybruska1499]

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

[@darryleevans5930]

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

[@an.american]

I'm always amazed at the talent and expertise and patience that goes into your work. Beautiful outcome. Oops on the applique. Reminded me of a day long ago in the shop with my dad when he told me, "A small mistake doesn't kill son." I replied, "No..., but it scolds." He looked at me for a bit then laughed. Lol, the good ol days. I patiently await your next video. GB

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

lol, thats so true.

[@pitsnipe5559]

That finish is wonderful, as always, nice work. 👍🏻

[@MrJeffers06]

Excellent!

Beautiful job. The finish product looks fantastic. Your patience and commitment to quality is very evident.

[@PghFlip]

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

[@alasdairmackenzie515]

Elm is my favourite wood and there is some beautiful examples of it in that bed. Wonderful work.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Mine too!

[@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!

[@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 👏👏
