This was a struggle!

[@m802001]

Your technical skills, your artistry, your patience… it’s inspiring.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou!

[@basvanderwerff2725]

No matter what style or age of furniture you always make them look amazing

[@tommie5967]

You are the furniture whisperer. You know what it needs and more importantly you give it the tlc it needs. These pieces are simply stunning

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou!

[@johndoran4360]

From badly beat up to simply beautiful! Trena, the Queen of finishers!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

🥰

[@normafollet7156]

@@johnsfurniturerepair what a great job as usual trena 😊And say hello to your horse for me. I do hope you still have him or her.

[@richardrodgers1883]

Long live the Queen.

[@CyndeeLaFrance]

She is so incredibly talented. Her videos really demonstrate how what she does is an art and a science. I love her dog too...

[@rogerdudra178]

I attended the Colorado College Art School back in 1969 and your understanding of color is over my head. It's neat to see you do colors. You nail it every time.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

thankyou!

[@PatrickPoet]

It's my favorite part of what she does on the channel. On some pieces she has to do a lot more to get a consistent look with multiple techniques applied to different parts of different things. She explains it really well to the point that I _feel_ like I could do it, although of course I'd need the twenty-five years experience too, lol!

[@milsonfialho2725]

Trena,Trena Trena. Always surprising us with your magic touch. Talking about you slamming a hand to get rid of the stain . It was so fast . Just the way we do and i dont know if you came down to our level or if we went up to yours. you are supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!!!!!!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Lol thanks!

[@steveroberts]

I can honestly say that you, Trenna, are the only You Tuber that I would watch for over one hour. Your work is exemplary. Thank you.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Wow. Thanks so much!

[@131dyana]

That needed a lot of repair. Excellent job.

[@jglow8337]

Breathtaking!

[@allariaqueven5789]

I am once again smiling and happy to see what you do to restore the beauty of furniture.

[@poppyk6182]

Absolutely beautiful 😍

[@FastEddy5]

Your father really taught you well. It's great to see you together on video. It doesn't happen often enough. You are truly a beautiful person, and it shows in your beautiful work. Thank you for your inspiration and time you take to make these videos.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks for watching Larry

[@rickkcir9959]

Hi Trena. I hope you do work as much "boring technical" stuff into your vids as you can without loosing the people who only want to see the transformation and the results. Some of us watch you intently looking for insights on how we can broaden our skill sets. You have all of this knowledge and passing it down is a proud way to leave your mark. Don't let your knowledge get washed away by time. I always learn something from you, even when you are not actively teaching. Thumbs up!!

[@RMBman]

Just a staggering amount of work with beautiful results. Of course we've come to expect no less from you and you deliver every time. Kudos to your father for teaching you, for you have an impressive amount of knowledge for someone so young. That coupled with your patience and diligence and attention to detail makes you a very special individual. It's always a good day when the notification comes that John's Furniture Repair has posted a video. Thank you for sharing what you do.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Wow, thank you!

[@shirleypedersen7406]

WOW Trena! You keep it real. That was an awesome repair and refinishing. Lots of hard work and I admire your high standards and that’s exactly why you’re as good as you are. Your father must be so proud of you. FANTASTIC video.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Wow, thank you!

[@photoinmotion999]

Beautiful grain! Top notch work as always!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks again!

[@tvartcomm]

Your ability to see what colors are needed finish project is very good. Very artistic. Well done.

[@tony5339]

Midcentury furniture is so often ill-treated ... it takes massive effort but this epic restoration is so rewarding to see ... as ever what a wonderful job.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks

[@Jayf1981]

You deserve a medal. How can folks know what you go through unless they follow your channel? I do wonder! People are bringing home a piece you've loved, a real value add, IMO!

[@mikedonnelly2174]

All projects have issues-how you handle them is one of the things I look forward to.

[@s2snider]

I'm imagining the delight your customer feels every time s/he looks at these beautiful pieces after you've worked your magic on them. Thank you for adding so much joy to so many people, Trena.

[@sherriethames6503]

You're a great teacher and a great teacher wouldn't leave out the "fisheyes". Can you imagine if we encountered them on our own?

[@helenascheele5922]

I admire you! You keep your standards! You decide what you should do or not to do. As usual, thank you. Very soon I am going to redo my teak furniture. I will go back to your videos😊❤

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Best of luck!

[@susanwalt4659]

I have tell you that, of all the channels on furniture repair and restoring that I watch , you are the most accomplished I have come across. And I watch a lot of channels. ❤❤😊

[@petestaint8312]

Same! She's awesome. 👍

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou! That means a lot. I believe most channels are people who have just stated their journey. But there are only a few actual proffesional restorers out there. Cheers!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou

[@robbutler7958]

a very beautiful repair and colour job Trena I love watching a brillant craftsman at work

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou

[@triplex86]

What a joy to watch you turn two beat up pieces into two beautiful pieces. Magnificent work, as usual. Thank you.

[@joebainter]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. You are truly an artist in your own right. Just beautiful workmanship.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Tha kyou

[@eladlutz]

Thank you for cutting through the unmentioned problem area's. So many times much of a work is ignored. Real work, no matter what it is, is almost always painstaking.

[@anthonyspats7354]

Another beautiful job, you really put your heart and soul in the work you do. Dad must be very proud of you.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Yes, thank you

[@bmw19877]

You really kept your patience with this restoration. You are great.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thank you very much!

[@tedlym.3390]

Your restorations are heavenly, almost divine! Thank you,

[@nancywhitehead6397]

Trina I am a retired Interior Designer who went to a top ten University in the School of Architecture. Sometimes if you can not salvage a top well you can paint on a faux stone finish or use a slab of some type of stone well cut on the top. If it were me and i could not salvage the top I would probably do a straight block cut of half to one inch Black Soapstone on this which would look terrific on both pieces. You do beautiful work and take pride in your labors, A rare trait in todays world Your father taught you well.The outcome on both pieces is outstanding. Beautiful and beautifully done.. BRAVO Trina..

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

thankyou

[@nancywhitehead6397]

Trina i watched this again and with your experience and expertise I am surprised the customer did not commission you to make new drawers inside the middle section of the long dresser ..Those drawers are simple and would have completed the piece; and if not drawers some nice finished shelves. I grew up in the 50s with Mid Century furniture lol

[@sandiekaye5241]

Trena I don't blame you....beautiful set. I'd hate to see that go. Just absolutely lovely.

[@nctrailcam81]

One of the reasons that I love your channel is that you show when things go wrong. To be fair, even if there were never any problems I would be in awe of your incredible talent. But watching you encounter real problems and work through them is part of the magic of your channel.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou🥰

[@tim5158]

That furniture must have some sentimental value for the owner. Again you demonstrate your talent and craftsmanship.

[@bettyrubble9420]

I discovered this gem of a channel through the chair competition and I am so happy to have found it. Just absolutely stunning work. I am so impressed with your skill and dedication. Thank you

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Welcome aboard! Thankyou

[@Grandmotherof3]

As always, it’s such a privilege to watch an artisan at their best! ❤

[@andrewbeckman351]

Miss Trena you are an amazing teacher- never think otherwise- we can read books on staining until we are blue in the face, you are at least giving us an idea behind all those manuals out there

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

That was an outstanding job. Hard to believe it looked so bad. Like magic. Ever disappoint❤❤

[@venkatanarasimhamkadambari242]

More than any thing, Your Minute Asthetics, Patience, Commitment and Personal Touch is Highly Adorable ❤

[@jocool7370]

I have no idea how I didn't find your channel until now, but I'm glad I have found it!

Welcome!

[@marymorrison2484]

Not sure how I missed this episode. They look stunning. Whatever they paid, wasn't enough. Wow!

[@oldTimer-x3r]

I will just say. Incredible.

[@jfinaz99]

A big job done professionally with beautiful results. Very nicely done! Thanks for sharing it.

[@shadowstorm1928]

Only the interested people will care. As long as You care enough to show even one person the trick to an artists color pallet and matching shades . Or the how to of. You've passed on a piece of an art that just shouldn't die out. Your dad must have been really something for you to have skills like that. Don't doubt yourself your doing great :) well done .🎉

[@flipnawesome5756]

I just realized I missed watching this video. Beautiful job on hiding the water damage and blending in the patches.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou!

[@baronmeduse]

I thought you'd developed a fungal nail condition until I realised it was outgrown false nails! And that one had snapped off.😂 Yet you soldiered on to restore the cabinets...bravo!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Lol yep

[@martemacdougall1985]

Absolutely 💯 fabulous 👌 Trenna! I so admire your work.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thank you so much!

Your standards are higher than mine! I thought I had high standards, but I'm willing to learn a new way.

[@re-inventedbymaria]

You are a true artist, I love all you do ❤, thank you for teaching us!!!

[@Little_Red_Riding_Hoodlum]

They turned out fantastic! The satin smooth finish is perfection.

[@flatworm00]

This appeared to be a boat load of work! I think you did an excellent job of refinishing!

[@tonydenier9988]

i just wanted to say what a pleasure it is to watch your videos. I grew up in my Fathers's and Uncles cabinet shop. Your attention to detail and craftsmanship exceeds all that I have seen. Your attitude towards not achieving perfection as being acceptable is something that is lost in today's prefab world. Even an old dog like me with 40yrs of woodworking has learned a thing or two from your projects. Thank you!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

thanks Tony

[@e.e.schmid4976]

You are so welcome!

You've made it quite impossible for me to watch any other restoration video without thinking "this isn't how Trena would do it" 😂😂😂 superb craftswomanship as always.

Wow, thanks

Beautiful restoration.

[@stevesmith6554]

Looking forward to a tutorial on color work. I think it will be interesting!

[@shirleykathan-sayess5764]

Awesome! So nice to seeing a woman doing this. How wonderful to watch this poor piece regain its beauty. ❤ Shirley

[@roxaneharris9380]

Hi Trena, another amazing restoration. You are obviously very busy at the mo but would be really interested in a video on the types of wood that you use to restore what & why ....but when you are ready...Good Luck with the move 😊

[@naomihovey50]

I can see why you want to keep these pieces! You did an amazing job

[@jimmyjames3220]

Well that was a ton of work and they look gorgeous Trena!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@floofypurplefluff9924]

Trena, I know I’m late to the party on this video, but I wanted to make an observa-tion on the color theory. I wonder how many people realize that the colors they may or may not see in your KZbin videos could also have another entirely different reason. And that’s simply because each and every single one of us use a different device to watch you and each screen or monitor has its own resolution and is being viewed in entirely different lighting (indoor, outdoor, sunny, pitch black, cloudy, day, night, with prescription glasses, without, with sun glasses, with contacts, with out-of-date prescription glasses, etc., etc.). The impact on our end is unavoidable and minor (in the scope of the universe), therefore, we certainly must be under-standing, open-minded, and flexible to this. I, for one, would love a color theory video, and I certainly appreciate the challenges you inevitably overcome for we, your cheering fans! ❤😊🎉

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Great comment!😉👍

[@alpetterson9452]

Oh WOW!!! That is amazing!!

That was a whole heap of repairs. the color work always fascinates me. they look stunning. Take a bow!

[@edgarmatzinger9742]

Nice job! And as a Dutchman it's always nice to see a Philips iron "in action"...

I like how you talk us through the project or explain why you are doing something

Looks amazing! I love the woodgrain showing more. ❤

Congratulations ! As every time you did a perfect restoration ! I admire your work !!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

thankyou

[@sandramccormick8326]

I love your attention to detail in every piece you restore, no matter the age, veneer or solid wood, hardware included! Nothing seems to be too finicky. That to me makes true craftsmanship!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thank you very much!

[@dianedelello2447]

Spectacular job!

[@brettkruempel244]

Beautiful. You rescued 2 wonderful pieces from obscurity and made them art objects again. You are no less an artist than those who originally made them.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou!

[@lynnpappas4049]

That turned out beautiful. That's the style of furniture I grew up with and enjoyed in the 50's. Your much needed work was spot on in bringing this piece back to perfection. If I had been lucky enough to have been the owner of this lovely furniture, I think I would have sent the center draws to you as well; knowing if I did that everything would come out looking perfect. Thank you for a wonderful experience in refinishing.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Tha kyou Lynn

[@PghFlip]

The care and standards you show with every piece is to be applauded. You have great pride in your work, you've learned from your father well!

[@everestyeti]

This type of furniture reminds me very much of my childhood back in the 60's, nice that it's coming back into fashion, clean lines and functional. We have a couple of coffee tables made from the same design, which I think started there journey in Sweden. As per usual after your finished they will be, once again a couple of class pieces. 🤗👍 Re ironing I'm with you, mind you if you do want something to look smart and you don't like or have an iron, if you fold what you want to wear neatly when it's dry, put it under something with some even weight. After a few hours it will look like it's been ironed. 😎

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks for sharing!

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Wow, what an epic struggle. Hard to believe it turned out so well. But you made it happen!

[@dionetaylor931]

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Lol. Thanks Pamela. Welcome

[@bobpiec]

Hi Trena, Circa 1850 works great. In the US Fornbees is a great stripper. There were many Fornbees products back in the 90's. Used their products many times.Your colour shift is just amazing. You have taken this to another level. I'm sorry to hear Bulldog didn't make it through the pandemic many great businesses failed. I just can't say how beautiful this job turned out. Thanks for another great lesson Trena. God bless you and your family in Saskatoon.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou Bob
