    I've come to the conclusion that everything that is made by man needs to be repaired, touched up, rebuilt, re glued, from one time or another. The trick is to start with something that is worth saving and has a bit of quality to it Great to see you have rescued a worthy piece.

    Oh Trena, you're the oasis in the world of restoring older furniture correctly. I see so many videos of refinishers that don't want to take the time and just paint it. Some mass produced pieces I can agree can be painted. Others are such are a mistake.

  • @KarlBunker
    @KarlBunker Před rokem +3

    When I was a kid there was a grownup family member who constantly put cigarettes down on the edges of furniture and then forgot about them, so that burn mark on your desk sure brought back memories. Looking back on it nowadays it's just mind boggling that anyone could ever, _ever_ think that was an okay thing to do. Another reason to be glad smoking is going out of style.
    Anyway, beautiful job on that desk; it's totally transformed!

  • @jamesweeg6545
    @jamesweeg6545 Před rokem

    I’m a consulting geologist,but a few years ago I started a side business of making custom furniture for people. Over the years friends have come to me with antiques and family heirlooms to see if I could repair them. I think I have done a respectable job on the repairs, much aided by your videos as I have learned methods and techniques from you that I would have never figured out on my own.
    I recently restored a fold top writing desk for a friend. Her father, a carpenter, had made this from a plan from Woman’s Day magazine in the late 60’s. He used walnut and it was beautifully done based off the methods of the day. After he passed she inherited it, but it had lived in a barn in Ohio for about a decade, so it was pretty rough.
    I did not make it new,as you pointed out with the cigarette burn, I left the character, but made it fully functional and structurally sound.
    When I returned it to the owner I found myself with a joyfully weeping woman in my arms for nearly a half hour. I can completely see why you do this as the satisfaction is off the charts.
    Thanks for the “tutorials” and please keep teaching us.

    You know, when you were originally gluing down the veneer repair pieces, I THOUGHT I saw some green tape still under the new veneer insert, but I immediately dismissed the thought, as I said to myself, "Nah, Trena would NEVER makes a mistake like that." and she surely would not leave it in the video if she had. But, at least you were honest and were willing to admit that you are not quite the Goddess I was under the impression you were, but I totally respect your owning up to your oversight. I consider myself to be REALLY perceptive and good at anticipating strategic moves three or four moves in advance in any project, but I, too, find myself making the rare mistake such as the one you made. Hey, it just proves we're human - and that's a good thing. Carry on refinishing.
