- Finally something in the shop that isn't rotting! lol
This week's project is in great condition. It's a large oak dining set, and Trena strips and refinishes it in a shade called Puritan Pine.
Thanks for watching. If you enjoy my video and would like to say thanks you can now buy me a coffee! This will just help me to be supported while I continue to make these videos for everyone to enjoy. Cheers to all my wonderful subscribers! www.buymeacoffee.com/JohnsFur... - Навчання та стиль
I’m so glad that this project has the lighter stain! It would be a shame to hide that beautiful wood grain.
My Canadian friends say the only thing better than watching paint dry is watching Trena stripping paint off ! I agree !! Lol Love you work young lady... Dad must be very proud
Lol Thankyou
Dr Trena: I really like these type of intros to your videos. Where the patient (i.e. the piece of furniture) presents itself and their symptoms to the doctor. Then Dr Trena examines the patient and provides her diagnosis and plan for recovery. And after the necessary advertisement for John’s Furniture Repair, we get to see Dr Trena go to work and ultimately the patient is presented fully recovered!
Trenayou have literally mastered this trade nobody that I have seen can take you on a step by step procedure better than you .I can hardly wait to see your new shop and I wish you the best of luck and send my love from Seattle always Mel
Lol Thankyou
Thankyou Mel
As a woodworker, I always love to see when furniture gets restored and repaired. Cause not only is the furniture revived, it´s also a tribute to the original builder in my opinion.
What a beautiful set. Love the result, and I'm sure the client is happy. Good job.
Trena. Love this one. Changing the color of a good set of furniture. Also loved when you bleached a whole set of furniture for a customer. You made the stripping look easy. The joy of time lapse photography. ❤U🙏U
Artisan of the highest order, it's not until the end when you do the old/ new clips you realise just how good a job you did Trena. Very skilled and dedicated to your craft.
Thankyou
I just love your videos. I’m a woodworker who isn’t afraid to build anything, but finishing scares me to death!
Well it’s two different skills for sure
It looks like some family will be celebrating Mother's Day around a newly refinished table and chairs. It looks beautiful. Worthy of celebrating.
Yes thankyou
Holy smokes, what a beautiful table and chairs. I absolutely love oak. The grain is amazing ❤ Awesome job Trena!
Trena!!!!!!! Great Job! It's a beautiful color and finish! A Lot of WORK too!❤
Absolutely gorgeous. Have to love the warmth and grain contrast after you're done with it.
Trena your work is top notch here as always! 👍 Lovely dining set looking even better. 💖
Tha kyou
My Dad was a car painter and I have one of his old Devilbiss paint guns. At 73, I don't think I'll be using it, so if you want it, I'll send it to you.
I think I have lots but that is very nice of you
Trena - the only person I've seen who can actually make varnish-stripping look interesting! 😉
Great job, Trena.
My favourite wood I think. It just looks so majestic when finished, especially after Treena has worked her magic on it.
Thankyou
The chairs in ranks put me in mind of chess pieces, 5* channel btw. 😄👍
Fine work, Trena, beautiful result.
WOW!! just wow!
Really enjoyed this video, high quality work on quality furniture!
Lovely work and a lovely colour, best the customer is really happy. 👍🤗

So much nicer in darker color, what a great job you made of it
Beautiful color and exquisite craftsmanship!❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow, what a big job. I love oak. You did a masterful job in coloring this down to a warm dark color. Love it!
That's a hellava table, nice job.
Thanks!
Great to see how a color can update a piece. I have an 80’s oak coffee table that I know exactly what to do with now!
I had become quite fond of rotting wood and its challenges. LOL. beautiful job as usual.
lol
Beautiful!
Holy Smokes, that was a lot of Oak ! Well done, the new color is much better.
Sure was
Beautiful, as always. I had a few questions for you but it pays to read through the comments as all were answered by doing so. Incredibly generous of you to be sharing your craft. I hope the return is worthwhile. This one deserves several coffee's!
thankyou so much!
I love the look it's not so yellow not. That little softer look makes it so pretty. Those chair are excellent I love high backs. Another great video thank you for sharing.👍
thanks Dennis
Wow! absolutely wonderful once again. You elevate every project to the very best that it could be! Thank you for sharing your time, skills, and knowledge with us. OK, just one more WOW!
Hahahaha... just had a funny but complimentary, reaction to your video tonight. Many times I watch UA-cam on the big TV. I'm kind of bouncing around, a bit of Netflix, maybe some Disney channel or HBO, and then some UA-cam. Many of those channels have the option to skip the intro on shows, for goodness sake, I already know they set sail for a three hour tour, let's get to the action. So after your "cold open" I was getting ready to click the skip intro button and realized my mistake and had to laugh.
Lol
Wow, the thought of stripping and sanding those chairs makes my hands ache. I had a set to do for a customer last year, similar to this, farmhouse style, it took me a VERY long time with lots of swearing, and regret at not charging way more. 😄Well done for being so cheerful about it.
yep, gotta make it worth the time, lol
Shop dog makes an early appearance to warn off those of us with a aversion to oak. That aversion should appear in the DSM-5 IMO.
Lol it’s not my favorite wood either
Agreed! Although the darker finishes can be prettier.
Trena I have to say I was sooo relieved when i seen the stain go on and that it was the color it was. It looks so much better then that darker color would have. Its been a long time since i have done finishing work professionally in a kitchen cabinet shop, I wasn't aware that there was pre catalyzed laquers. I was only aware of thetype you need to add the hardner to.
yes the precat is just a little slower catalyst that the post cat you refer too.
Hello Trena! Again a wonderful work. The client will surely be more than satisfied with your work. The dining room set is also very nice. Now like new and an exceptional refurbished piece from you. All respect. 👍
thankyou
Seriously fantastic colour a lot of hard work has gone into this looks amazing, absolutely love the grain on the table top very impressive job excellent 👌
That's a damn big table. Well done.
Great strip tease!! It's good to see just how much attention you put into finish and color. My favorite pretty Canadian Stripper does it again!
An interesting insight to the real workaday jobs a restorer/repair artisan needs to do to earn a living.
Sanding, lots and lots of sanding, oh and there is also all of the sanding 😂😂
Lol yes
Nice color on that oak. Looks like an older antique vs the somewhat lighter 1980s oak color.
Yea. Thankyou
Good lord that was a lot of work. Tedious, repetitive work. Always impressed with how calm and unfazed you are when faced with these challenges, and awesome results as usual. Also impressed with the use of the word "amalgamate". Beauty and erudition.
I wish you lived closer I have a couple of pieces of furniture I would love to have you do.
Sure like the color, when you showed the color at the start, I darn near had a spasm, cover that beautiful wood that dark, then ya saved me with a color switch, I really like that color, not that it matters what I like as its your client and their choice, but man it was perfect for that aircraft carrier flight deck of a table. Thanks for the video, enjoyed it.
Lol
Brilliant outcome, I'm sure the client was pleased with the result.
When you first showed the proposed finish I nearly stopped watching as I thought you about to commit a serious crime against Oak, the the actual finish is much lighter and shows off the beautiful wood that the original maker used to great effect.
Thank you for sharing. 😀
Lol I showed you the wrong color. Lol
I know it is not your decision to cover up the great natural look, great grains the color of the oak, another outstanding job why I watch every episode. Thanks for the lessons!
Beautiful, just beautiful…..
Out of all hard wood I love oak the best then comes cherry
I love the velvet like gloss, smooth and luxurious. They turned out wonderful, something i would have chosen if i had own that table and chairs. Love it!
Awesome as always. You amazing! I learn so much from you, thank you for all your knowledge
Beautiful work. Looks like a big brother to my set. You have amazing patience.
Awesomeness at its best! The patients you give to each piece. ❤
I have table almost identical to this one. I’m going to tackle refinishing this fall. My chairs need to be taken apart and glued back together. Thanks for teaching.
When you showed the sample color, I went ehhh , but at the end, I am amazed. Excellent outcome. I admire your hard work. Keep it up!
Nice to see you again
Nice work on a very 80’s oak set. ❤
That's good work on the table and chair set.
Thanks!
Great work Trena, I liked the fact that you also answered some of my curiosity queries through your video with little pointers and materials you used. An informative and enjoyable show as always, look forward to the next one!
Lovely work! I appreciate your explanation of what you're doing.
Thankyou
That huge table shows how good your technique is with a spray gun; you kept it perfectly parallel with the table top. It must have been nice working with a piece, not half rotted.
Hi Trena! Another winner! 👍
Beautiful oak pieces, glad your client went with the lighter color.
Masterful finish as always.
When I grow up (I'm 70yo), I want to be just like you
Lol
I love wood grain,any wood grain, most of them anyway. Daddy was a carpenter. I used to play with his scraps. Love your work.😊
Nice job, that had to be a big job
Another amazing finish to your work love your videos and your explanation to detail.keep up the good work
Thanks nice to see you always reply to peoples comments keep up the good work look forward to your next video
The table is a duplicate of what I have. I was looking to have the whole set refinished and that was a beautiful color. Love your work!
thankyou
Thanks for adding a bit more info related to the finishing process (e.g. the value of hand dusting and the use of a catalyzed lacquer and why). Your work is SO GOOD and I feel like I learn something from each video. This one will get bookmarked partly because I have a dining table to refinish coming up soon! Blessings!
thankyou Don
It is beautiful. I like the darker tones.
Thank you!
love oak ...this set is beautiful
That finished look is fantastic. Really works well with the oak.
Love how this set came out
I saw allll that oak and flinched, but carried on. I was encouraged when you said the customer had chosen a dark finish and pulled that sample out, saying it would actually be a little bit lighter.
Years ago I worked for Ethan Allen and they had a line called (I think - going from memory) Royal Charter Oak. It was the first oak furniture I even came close to liking and it had a rich, darker finish. I sort of had that in my mind at that point. As this set turned out, it wasn't quite as dark as that EA stain color, but ever so much better than what they started with!
And, of course, they ended up with a beautifully finished dining room set. Your work is just perfection and I think you delivered far more than they were even expecting. They must have been over the moon happy! And you must have taken a couple of days doing something else afterward! Or is this your final job before moving - in that case, I'm absolutely sure you were doing something different! 😂
Good luck on the move and I can't wait to see your new shop all set up!
well thankyou, i just had to move onto the next job unfortunately no rest for me until my buts in the truck headed to Saskatchewan. cheers
Que Buena Mano para Barnizar..!!...Muy lindo Tono...Excelente proyecto.....Eres muy Top Trena...!!...ji ji ji..Saludossss.
Beautiful work!
Very striking grain in this set. It looked amazing after your treatment & care. The owner must have a big house! 😄
The workshop is beginning to look empty. I hope the move goes well. ❤
yes, thankyou
That just turned out beautiful Trena! 👏 At first I thought the stain was a little too dark, but when you wiped it off man the oak just popped! 😊 I usually use lacquer for the best finish! Thank you for sharing!
16:25 I also pour the thinner through a sieve, at least it will wash off.
I really thought you had messed up this one time. Boy was I wrong , this is stunning. I am a big fan of light oak wood but this finish gave it such a rich and luxurious look .I will watch this one over and over again oh how I wish you lived in Dallas texas
Hi, neighbor! I live in Dallas, too. I always look forward to a new video from Trena. I don't refinish furniture, never have been interested until I stumbled on one of these vids almost a year ago. What this woman can do is nothing short of amazing.
@@jrdlabs howdy. I know she does such a good job. And she does it correctly, not just stick some Bondo on it paint it and send it on its way. Do you know where pleasant Grove is, that is my old stomping ground.
That's a really big table set to begin with.
Yes
Beautiful job Trena.
Love your love for the work you do
Thank you so much 😀
I really love the darker color. I have always enjoyed dark wood more so than lighter wood. I went out of town for a week three weeks ago and I had a medical procedure done when I got back. I am behind on the videos really bad. I have been playing catch up since I got back home and I am still behind. It looks like you are getting caught up on your work before your big move. Excellent job Trena and God bless
thanks Catherine, hope your healing well
@@johnsfurniturerepair awe thank you, I am. I have to have another medical procedure in July. I can't be declared cancer free until I hit my 2 year mark so I am doing my best to watch what I eat get outside more and spend time with family. God bless you
What a beautiful dinning room set. You did a wonderful job in bringing it up to date with that beautiful color change. As always an exemplary job.
The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone, 👈 looks beautiful, keep it up, painting skills 101 👌
Beautiful result, I quiet enjoy the shorter version. I feel less guilty about watching UA-cam at 1 in the morning x
Another perfect job, amazing 😊
I absolutely love how you gave this set a new and improved look. The color highlights the awesome grain of the chairs and top. Beautiful work!
Again, great job. You know your tints/colors and make everything match.
That is awesome!
We had 7kids. Imagine 10 chairs, table with 2 additional leaves and the entire set in thick, solid maple. My parents weren't kidding. Would have survived a direct hit from a 20inch naval gun 😂
Lol nice
Great job, Thanks for sharing.
As always beautiful job
Beautiful, beautiful result. Great color work. Even though the original finish was in good shape, the refinish is much more attractive.
I agree
Looks amazing! Lovely finish.
liked the sample you showed in the beginning... was hoping it would be as dark as that. even so it looks really excellent. nice work.
You did a great job, your work is top notch. That set is beautiful!
Always love your videos. Have you ever heard of using a damp rag on wood before staining? Seems to me that would be a bad idea. You are a true artist. Beautiful table
