I've said it before, and it bears repeating on this milestone: You are a national treasure, Tom.
Make that international 😁
@@annatorrish1896 Drumming up business obviously!
Thank you! That's humbling
Thank you! Even more humbling!
Yes he is!
How can anyone in their right mind dislike these videos, they are pure craftsmanship, keep up the amazing work Tom.
It might comfort you to know that any response adds to the algorithm for the channel no matter if it is thumbs up or down. So, the nay-sayers are really helping! I bet they didn't have any idea that was the case 🤣😂.
Thanks! It’s my understanding that these are bots
Thanks Judith! It’s been explained to me that these are bots
@@judithburke1539 Brilliant News, thanks Judith.
Congratulations to the Johnson Family on ten years of sharing you craft in wonderful videos. Thank you.
You're welcome!
"I call it an overnight sensation because It only took 10 years to do it"
From an antique furniture restorer, that sounds appropriate.
Congratulations, Tom!
Business is getting smaller and smaller. Kids today just dont like antiques
@@purtis99 I think it's also houses getting smaller and smaller... no space for much antique furniture.
@@dlevi67 somewhat. I can see no room for china hutchs, sideboards etc but you still have dinner tables ,coffee tables, ends tables, nightstands, dresser etc
@@purtis99 not true! I am in my early twenties and I love antique furniture! I only have one antique piece because antique furniture is expensive, but I’m hoping to buy many more when I finally buy a home.
@@OrionGardening I didnt mean all Im talking in general. I have 5 kids, 34 to 22 and none of them are into antiques as we know it. No 1700s 1800s furniture. Their more modern Ikea type. One does like Mid Century Modern, 50s stuff..
You deserve 1M subscribers - there's no one else is like you on CZcams! LOVE your channel, your work, and your advice! Thank you for your channel!
You're welcome! So nice!
I agree. He is an excellent restorationist.
Congratulations 🎂
My father was a carpenter. I used to spend a lot of time in my fathers workshop. The way you understand the furniture and the way you work i almost can smell the sent of the wood and the glue. Your calm personality reminds me my father.
Thank you for sharing videos.
That's awesome.
You're welcome! I so often think of my own Dad - it's amazing to think I can help others invoke those memories too
It is - thanks!
Gene....it is spelled scent....fyi
Same here Gene, my father also was a carpenter. He passed almost 20 years ago and some of my favorite memories are time in his shop building and repairing things. This channel brings me right back…
Thomas there is no one like you, willing to tell all your secrets for the betterment of budding furniture restorers world wide. Thank you Tom, it would be an honour to shake your hand for giving back to the community of furniture restorers pro and those just starting out!
Thanks Alastair! That’s nice
Congratulations, mr Johnson! I am happy for you! You have been so great mentor to all of us.
Thank you Robert!
Congratulations! Above all you teach the value of patience, the value of dry fitting a glue up and never to glue starve a joint. It has been most enjoyable.
Thank you!
Master Johnson, Congratulations for reaching this milestone! It could not have happened to a more deserving fellow. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience. Let's hope this is the first of many milestones. Always remember, roads are made for the journey, not the destination.
Thanks! I like that!
People just don't know what they are missing not following your channel. It is such a joy to watch you work, and to see such beautiful furniture being restored back to an attractive and useful life. I'm looking forward to the next 10 years!
Me too! Thanks!
Congratulations Tom. You have an amazing following of subscribers and viewers who hold you and your talents in high regard. Best wishes!
Well said!

Sincere congratulations, that's well deserved recognition. "You can never have too many clamps" 👍👍
No never! Thanks!
Congratulations for your result! Because of your skills and quality, you are among the best restorers out there.
Wow, thank you!
This is the perfect example of a craftsman understanding that the secret to doing a good repair is patience, the proper equipment and dedication.
Thank you! That's nice!
When I put the TV on and the wife asks what I'm watching. I reply with "I'm Tom Johnson, Thomas Johnson, antique furniture restoration, in Gorham Maine". 😁 Loved your videos from the start, what a master craftsman. Well done to you and you deserve all the success and recognition!. 👍👍 My top CZcams choice hands down.
From Kent in England the UK. 👍🇬🇧
@@leeshilling7251 ha! That's just what I say to my wife when she asks what my awestruck "oh wow" is for... and I'm from Kent, England in the UK too 😂 bet your Tom impersonation is as dodgy as mine eh?! 😏😁
Thank you! I love that. I appreciate you being such a loyal fan. I need to visit Kent!
Thanks! Impersonations! I hope I never have to see those!
@@johnsonrestoration well, if your ever over this way let me know and I'll sort out somewhere for you to stay . You would love Kent "The Garden of England" . :)
100K, that’s a lot of people interested in glue and clamps!! Seriously, I enjoy your videos so much. The education and your calm attention to detail make it worthwhile. I hope you like us too. Congratulations, Tom.
Thanks! I do feel strongly for all my fans! It's humbling
Congratulations Tom. You deserve it because you have shared so much knowledge with us. Thanks for sharing.

"Glue ups can get hectic", you're a master of understatement Tom. I find them psychosis inducing...Many congratulations on finding 100,000 discerning subscribers.
They certainly can be! Thanks!
Congratulations! A well-deserved honor. I can't wait to see the CZcams Play Button plaque in the background soon.
Thanks! Yeah! Where's my plaque?
@@johnsonrestoration CZcams is making it, but the mold needed one more clamp.
Thomas Johnson Sir.....I salute you on reaching 100K. I can't find the right words to describe you and your craftsmanship......you are the best. There isn't another like you. Bless you.
Wow, thank you! I appreciate it!
Congratulations, Tom! 🎉 🥂 Here’s to many more years!

Exactly! Thanks!
