    I knew you were a fantastic furniture restorer but an art conservator too!! 👏👏👏 The line work and lettering you did on the clock face are terrific. I know how steady a hand you have and how difficult this is from when I tried to reconstruct the name on an antique piano. Well done Trena. You have my undying respect.

    Those vibrant colors on the clock face make a stunning statement to the quality of your craftsmanship.
    It looks like this one is a candidate for the John's Furniture Repair Hall of Fame.
    Happy Birthday Terry!

    I was confused by that "31", but then I understood that is the date dial. Spectacular end result, no doubt! What formidable talent and skill you have! Too bad it's over... I wanted another 20 chapters!

    • @johncolvin2561
      @johncolvin2561 Před rokem +1

      The clock was a calendar clock, the calendar feature only needed the addition of an extra gear or two to drive the date dial.

    • @twkolejofil
      @twkolejofil Před 9 měsíci +1

      You could be confused by the 60 divisions on the dial which should have 31 of them. It's the only fly in the ointment...

  • @steliosstavrinides3502

    Restoring the wood and clock painting is an excellent job you did, but, restoring the name on the clock, is like restoring the memory and legacy of a person. KUDOS !!!!

Poor guy was just blown away with the restoration. The faceplate work alone was stunning but put together with everything else. Loss for words as he was. I hope he also got some proper care instructions on what to use to clean and dust it. Help him keep the wood as beautiful as it was when it left your shop!

    Trena, that was a tour de force, a triumph! Like all the others here, I am in awe of your determination, talent, skills, artistry, and passion for this multi-faceted vocation. It was just magic watching the clock come back to life. At one point I was very focused on some detail you were working on, and I kept thinking why is the image moving? I shifted my gaze and there was your fabulous pooch’s tail wagging away happily. That, combined with the squeaky toy at one point just cracked me up! But in a good way. Your pup brings a joyous warmth to the whole affair, as does your loving relationship with your fab parents. Thank you for these delicious ‘slow art’ videos.

    I have never been less than overly impressed with the magic you show in restoring these projects. But the work you did on the face of the clock takes it to just one more level over what I usually expect from you.

    That is one proud clock that will grace another home for the next 200 years

    Magnificent to say the least..........where does one even start! The restoration of all the wood, legs, finial, let alone the painting restoration.........unreal! How in heavens name were you able to save the original painting without destroying it. I know lacquer is or can be a mess to deal with. Your work is over the top and beyond. You are an artist of many things indeed!!!
    I am so excited for the customer as well.........what a beautiful find and the name restoration or the original makers...........unbelievable.
