I also love the format of two great craftsmen sharing their vast knowledge and expertise. Well done gentlemen!
Thank you!
Thank you Tom for giving Scott some love. His channel deserves more subscribers.
You're welcome! He does!
I admire and respect Tom and Scott very much. I watch them both because I love restoration and not redesign. I liked this video and I am looking forward to more collaborations. I am so allergic to all woods and chemicals so my viewing is for vicarious pleasure.
Thanks! I'm so sorry about the allergies
Love learning from professionals who know their stuff! Thank you, Mr. Johnson. 👍👏✨
You're welcome!
This was a great collab. Good to see humility among such knowledgeable people who are willing to continue learning. Cheers, gents!
Thank you!
Thank you both gentlemen, for your efforts in YT, two of the most beneficial channels to me as an amateur woodworker. I enjoy the knowledge you provide along with full descriptions as to "why". And, for some reason the repair & restoration aspect of woodworking I find to be very interesting to me. Maybe it's because I've had to use your techniques to correct so many of my mistakes while making new projects.
Thank you Tom & Scott, your videos are very much appreciated.
You're welcome!
Well I was certainly glued to my screen! Thanks to you guys for a great collaborative format.
Wait for the next one, you'll get clamped to your screen! :)
Good one! Thanks! It's a sticky subject
Yes! Thanks
Thank you both for sharing your knowledge. I enjoy watching furniture repair videos from both of you. Please keep the conversation going.
Thank you! Will do!
Two for one. It is nice to get knowledge from one person but really nice to get knowledge from two people in the same video
Thanks!
Excellent - knowing why one works better than another is always valuable to know.
Thanks! Yes!
Tom and Scott, I follow both of your channels, and enjoy it when YT “mentors” collaborate. 😮 Learning a lot from both channels!!
Please do more of these topical collaborations; they are excellent resources and references.
Awesome, thank you!
There is so much info that can be gleaned from listening to both of you having a conversation with each other!!!!! I really enjoyed this!!!!!
Thanks!
Thank you for leaving the advertisements for the end. A great conversation, even if it is with oneself, should never be interrupted. Y'all did a great job of making the questions and answers flow without all that fluff other creators do! I like when folks get to the point!
Thanks! Me too!
This was a very good educational video! Thank y’all so much for teaching most of us information that most of us didn’t know. I could watch these videos for hours and enjoy every minute of them while learning so much. Thanks again guys!!
You are so welcome!
I enjoyed the collaboration very very much. Thank you Thomas and Scott. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
You're welcome!
Tom's story is incredible he has been restoring legacy items, animated objects, pieces with evidence of life that hold memories and meaning all of his life. He said his brothers have shops, do they have CZcams?
Thanks! Well said! My brother Greg is working on creating his own channel now
@@johnsonrestoration Mr. Johnson I bet you have heard many interesting stories about how things got broken. I.e. Granpa got drunk and grandma smashed him with the chair etc.
Love the open exchange of info and ideas to help everyone work a bit smarter! Please do it again! Thanks guys 👍🏼
You're welcome!
Excellent presentation! Although I've been following this channel for over a year now, I recently watched one of Scott's videos, so I was delighted to see this collaboration. I think you gents could present several topics beyond gluing. What I enjoy about this style of presentation is that you each deal with different types of furniture repair. Seeing you compare notes would provide viewers with a much better understanding of the processes involved in all types of furniture repair. Thanks for the great information source!
You're welcome!
Great to see 2 channels I watch get together to share knowledge. Can't wait to see your future collaborations!
Thanks!
I liked the way Tom smiled when Scott mentioned shabby chic :)
Thanks! I'm smiling now just thinking about shabby chic. I can tell you I've been in a lot of homes, a lot of which could be in Architectural Digest And a lot of very traditional older homes and believe me, there's no "shabby chic" anywhere! I think it exists mostly in magazines and TV shows
@@johnsonrestoration I sort of sensed that :)
I love the format of both of you together. So much good information.
Thank you!
My top favorites together! Really liked this collaborative exchange. Nice job! ...oh and YES on clamps as a topic.
Thanks!
Thumbs up on the format, fellas! Love that you are showing actual examples between the dialogue.
Thanks!
My grandfather had a furniture shop where all his boys worked in their youth. Only one (my uncle) kept at it and has furniture restoration business. My dad gave my mom a makeup table as Christmas present when they had been dating for half a year. That and other curiosities are still around and about.
That's great! 3 of us brothers went into the business
As a subscriber to each of your You Tube channels I always enjoy you individually. Having both of you at the same time is icing on the cake. Thank both of you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
You're welcome!
Hello Tom, when I was doing woodwork in secondary school in the early 1950s, we used a glue which we called “hoof glue”. I assume that it was derived from horse cow hooves. It came as ‘glue pearls’, which were melted in a cast-iron pot over a fire. I presume that to reverse the glue one would heat it (very carefully). No water was added to the glue during its melting. I am sure that you would have dealt with joints which were secured by this type of glue.
Best regards,
David.
Thanks! That's amazing that you were using hide glue in school!
Tom and Scott are my two go to experts when Iam searching for a solution. This format is great look forward to more collaborations.
Thanks! We'll see, they're not easy to do!
Good morning brother! Thank you for all The videos!
Good morning! You're welcome! First comment!
This was a great resource for me. It's really great to have something I can go back to that has a specific direction for each glue instead of scrolling through many different videos looking for an example to copy.
That's great! Thanks
This new format is interesting and very useful. Two of my favorite furniture repair CZcamsrs handing out confirmed good information!
Awesome, thank you!
I like this collaboration between you and Scott. You both are amazing resources.
Thanks! Yes, he is very good!
What an excellent collaboration. You guys come across as pros. Such a wealth of knowledge. Thank you guys for doing this.
You're welcome!
Wow! My favorite two furniture repair guys in one video. What a treat!
Thank you!
I and my ten thumbs watch these clips entirely for relaxation and pleasure. I am so clumsy that sharp tools and strong glues are best left alone. However, I really enjoy watching others build and craft, and this episode was informative and enjoyable. Thanks!
You're very welcome!
I love the format - two great craftsmen sharing their vast knowledge and expertise. This literally answered every question I had about glues! I’m anxious to see the next ones where you discuss clamps and saws, but I would also like to see a video about finishes and how you decide what to use and when to use them. Is it simply a matter of preference or the use an item will see or are there choices you make due to the wood or stain used? I like an oil or wax finish - but, I fear this would not be suitable in all applications. Deciding on a finish is my biggest dilemma!
Thanks Vickie! I always say the best finish is the one that works for you!
Scott’s channel is also one of my favorites. He’s such an excellent educator.
He is! Thanks
I worked for a boat builder in Bristol RI in the 90's and we almost exclusively used Gougeon Bros Epoxy, including the West System. They provide many fillers that enhance the strength of the epoxy or reduce the weight of the epoxy for 'fairing' the surfaces. They are very good in providing literature to assist you in choosing what additives would be best. Amorphous silica is very important in producing a strong bond. The company bought epoxy hardener and resin in 55 gallon drums and we had dispensers that created the correct ratio. They sell those units, but for limited use the cans come with dispensing pumps. It is spendy and the chemicals have odors, but not really bad like polystyrene. The amines on the hardener can be a bit strong.
They were using epoxy for everything including molds for parts. I did some testing to see how wood glue held up to the stresses incurred during heat curing of the molds and it held up just as well at temperatures up to 200 degrees F. We started using wood glue for elements that were not going to used in the boat and saved a lot of money.
Thanks! Yes, I have the "mini-pump" set up. It is amazing stuff!
Very good video👍
Thank you 👍
my two favourites doing a video together
Thanks!
I really like this video collaboration with the two of you! I watch both of you and it was great to see you together! Thanks for doing it in this format!
You're welcome!
I like the format- nice to hear multiple takes on shop processes
Thanks!
Excellent pacing of video. Very informative and well spoken. I enjoy how each of you shared your mistakes with a bit of light hearted humor and humility. Looking forward to future productions. Rick
Thanks Rick!
Tom will win in the clamp collection contest!
You're right! I have a lot!
Nice to see two views on things once in a while. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome!
I really enjoyed this video. I always enjoy hearing from trusted voices about what works and why. Thank you both.
You're welcome!
I love that you guys did this. Some great men in our world!
Thank you! That's nice
Loved it! Two of my favorite channels
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you to both of you for this expose of a sticky subject!
I have found epoxy adhesives to be extremely effective in other repairs in the workshop and at home. But there's no going back once the stuff has cured, so be sure to get the components exactly in position.
That's exactly right - in fact it's true of all glue ups regardless - you must get it positioned absolutely correctly
Thank you all for presenting this comparison of glues and the techniques for managing glue joining. I watch both of your channels and welcome your collaborative presentations.
You're welcome!
Thank you for clearing this up for me. I almost never use epoxy but now I can see it has its place.
You are so welcome! It definitely has it's uses
Great video from TWO BIG PROFESSIONAL WOOD WORKERS
Thank you!
Two of the best. I have learned an enormous amount from you two gentlemen. Thank you both.
You're welcome!
Excellent format, great information without being overwhelming.
Much appreciated!
I LOVED this video. Two of my favourite furniture You Tubers! If you ever think of doing three people, John’s Furniture Repair Treena is also an excellent teacher. Please keep these coming. Chisels would be good too.
Thanks! Scott did make a video with Trena not long ago
I enjoyed your conversation with Scott Bennett . Thank you.
You're welcome!
Great presentation - really brought together, in a practical way, my understanding of the three types of glue. I really enjoyed the format.
Thank you!
I follow both of you so seeing you together and sharing this knowledge is a double bonus for me! Thanks so much
You're welcome!
To be honest I prefer Tom’s videos alone in his shop period, he is another level hands down and already cover all of this in way more depth in his past videos
Thanks! But these single subject videos are very useful to people
@@johnsonrestoration short video formats on youtube can also be utilized for single subject and they could be a series, just a suggestion, big fan by the way, thanks for being here with us 🙏
Sharing your knowledge and passing down your experience is priceless. Thank you for your willingness to teach and share the tremendous skill.
You're welcome!
Very good, thank you both for sharing your knowledge 😊
Our pleasure! I'm glad you enjoyed it
We enjoyed this video and the exchange between you and Scott. Would like to see more like this. Clamping? Great idea.
Thanks!
I really enjoyed this video. Educational videos like this help us less experienced woodworkers make better choices on the products we use. Clamping would be a great video. Videos on wood grain direction and wood movement would be great as well.
Thanks! Good ideas
Love this format! Thanks!
So glad!
I very much enjoyed this collaboration. Very informative.❤
Thanks!
Thank you Tom and Scott. This was great. As it turns out I am currently dealing with a chair leg that is split part way through so this was extremely useful.
Thanks! Good luck! Sometimes epoxy is good for those splits
Titebond did not work. After watching the video, I am going with epoxy.
Thank you both, for sharing your work.
You're welcome!
Tom, I always enjoy learning from your videos.
I appreciate that!
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!
You're welcome!
Awesome information guys!!
Thanks!
Thank-you Mr Johnson and Scott for a great video!
You're welcome!
Excellent collaboration with helpful information - I look forward to the clamps and saws episodes. Thank you both.
You're welcome!
This is an excellent video. I often get confused which glue to use. I don't use epoxy, but after watching this, I might get some to have on hand. Next video...finishes. Linseed oil, lacquer, shellac, varnish...ugh. I never know which is best.
Thanks! The best finish is the one that works for you!
Nice to hear about your early life, father and brothers. I've been watching you for a few years on home TV system but easier to comment with my phone. Very interesting to see how you do things
Thanks! I appreciate that
Loved the discussion!
Great! Thanks
I loved this video! Very informative!
Thanks!
Love this video. It was so helpful as I'm trying to repair a family heirloom vanity drawer.
Thanks! Good luck!
Keep them comming. Very educational. Thanks.
Thanks, will do!
I like the interplay between the two of you!
Thanks!
Terrific collaboration and beautiful educational!
Thank you!
Great video, thanks for sharing.
You're welcome!
Wow this was good. My two favourite channels working together. So informative and educational. Thank you
You're welcome!
Very smooth and professional video
Thank you!
Excellent exchange! Really good and useful!
Thanks!
Enjoyed this a lot, thanks for sharing your experiences.
You're welcome!
I had not seen Scott’s channel. I really like collaborations because I get to meet new content makers. I was told back in the 80’s from a cabinet supply salesman that the difference between white glue and yellow glue was they put driers in the yellow to meet production needs.
I don’t know if it is still the only difference. A lot can change in 40 years.
Thanks! I just don't know...
Definitely. They seem very similar to me
Great idea, great video!
Thanks!
Great subject, well done
Thank you!
Great information.. Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome!
Mr. Tom, I really enjoyed this video and always look forward to new post from you. I also watch Scott's and Trena's (Johns Furniture Repair) videos. I think a LIVE round table event with you, Scott and Trena would be awesome. Viewers could ask questions and you guys could answer. Trena constantly amazes me with her talents and your knowledge and and commitment to doing it right is unparalleled. I would ask you to look at Trena's video Restoring a Grandfather Clock and the intricate work she does recreating the face of the clock. Thank You again!
You're welcome! I like Trena's videos! We need to collaborate
I watched this on Scott’s channel months ago, I really like both of your guys channels. I have really learned a lot from both of you,keep up the great video content.
Thanks! Will do!
That was a fun video to put together with you Tom. Have a great weekend! Scott
Hi Scott! I was going to let you know I was re-publishing this one - you beat me to it!
Two of my favorites! I have learned so much from the two of you
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks again for a great informative video. I always learn more and more with each video you do
You're welcome!
Thanks for sharing valuable information ❤
You're welcome!
Love the new format!
Thanks!
Great video. It was very nice to know why a particular type of glue is used on a repair. Very well explained.
Thank you!
I like this format, very educational. Thank you Tom
Very welcome!
Excellent video thank you for the info
Very welcome!
This is some very good information that I can now use. Thank you gentlemen.👍
You're welcome!
