She's brilliant! The chair is skillfully, masterfully restored to it's former glory.....but what really matters is that her customer, the owner, is well pleased and loves the work she's done. Well done Trena!
I am so glad that you shared your feelings about the outcome with all of us. As the final result was revealed I found myself really wanting to know what the owner's reaction was. It's a beautiful piece obviously very full of memories. So glad you had it restored.
For a paper seat, I was gobsmacked by the amount of work/pressure it could take. Another masterful repair/restore and preservation of family memories. Kudos!
I love how you did that seat and of course the rest of the rocker. But the seat is remarkable Trena. I had my doubts and I shouldn’t have. You are the best restorer.
OMG! As a sign painter, I can't tell you how many times I tipped over the paint or dropped the brush on a finished sign! It's nice to know I'm not the only klutz in the world. Beautiful work, as usual!
I loved the seat repair. My grandparents used a similar technique to repair book covers. On another UA-cam channel I noticed a guy using a small drill bit to remove wood around a nail so that he could gain a grip on it for removal. He also uses wood plane shavings to fill in the gap for loose tenons. Thanks for sharing your restoration skills.
Great job on the chair Trena, you would never know that, that seat was messed up. Most people would have done away with the seat and replace it with something else, by you saving it, that shows the kind of love and respect you show to your client's and their furniture. My hats off to you, looking forward to your next video!!!
A most beautiful restoration. The seat turned out almost like brand new. You have great skills, Daddy taught you well. Thank you for inviting us to witness your magic. Dave & Amy in North Carolina.❤
What a beauty! It would be interesting to know how old the chair is. We visited the farm in So Dak back when young and I remember the chairs having wire wrapped around the bottom of some of them. People didn't find things as disposable as many do today. Everything was kept, restore, renewed or "fixed" as best they could. I don't remember many new things but repaired and made to look new or just repaired as best a nail could do it. The memories touch my heart and there was a happiness in the old things as they showed the past and use those items got. Love those memories. I so wish there was a greater love of the items from the past as I felt they were when growing up. I love your trade for that very reason and the perfection ane pride you take in your work. Thank you for retaining the past and keeping memories "new" for so many of your customers. Thank you for sharing all these things with us. Beautifully done once again! Blessings
Wow! another victory over the ravages of time and abuse. Hopefully no one will try standing on the seat again. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, skill, and sense of adventure.
I was so excited about this video because I just did one of these chairs, but mine had no seat included. So I ordered the leather insert. So happy to watch. Thank you. Vicki
Trina, one of the true masters of the craft, and I have seen quite a few very talented artists! You are definitely up in the top five I have ever seen!! You are a beauty!!❤
You did an outstanding gorgeous job on the rocker! I'm blown away at the seat. If I hadn't seen the damage I would have never known it was wrecked before! Your customer is going to be amazed at how beautiful it looks now,! Awesome job 👍! ❤❤
If I hadn't seen it for myself I thought that seat could not be fixed. Amazing how you made a cherished family heirloom have a new life. I absolutely love your work. You show me everytime your know how to problemsolve. Absolutely astonished what you can do. If I could I would give you a standing ovation. And it would be well deserved. ❤❤❤
I’ve never seen a paper insert that is placed on the seat. I’ve seen them on other places. Absolutely a beautiful piece restored perfectly. Knowing that’s it’s paper and not leather I doubt I would want to sit on it. (I’m not a big person and it makes me nervous) definitely the right decision to salvage its beauty. ❤❤❤
Very fascinating repair! I’d never heard of a paper seat before. I’ve seen Julian Baumgartner use his hot table to flatten distorted canvas artwork. Since it’s traditionally not a flat seat, that process may not have been successful. It turned out amazing Trena. I didn’t expect anything less. See you in the next installment.
I had an old rocker with a tooled leather medallion tacked across the seatl Never saw another like it. You do great work Trena. Good luck on your move. 🌞
Beautiful chair and excellent work as always! I'm so happy to have found your videos!! your knowledge, expertise, dedication and love for your work is admirable. Thank you so much for sharing and teaching, your videos are a master class for the next generation of furniture repair people. You are so generous and amazing. Thank you Trena!!! A big hug from the other side of the world, Argentina.☺
Fantastic job on that seat. I had my doubts those seams would come out that good. they usually just crumble in your hands and fall all apart. so kudos to you on that one Trena!. and also on getting all those nails out with minimal damage. Thanks for all the tips, and for sharing. ECF
You did a great job on that chair, it looks lovely! I am a paper conservator so I look after paper things all day, every day, and I gotta say, what you did to that seat...good work. That thing would be difficult to repair for anybody, especially to restore it to functionality. I think you did great with the initial repair and the reinforcing/support layers.
Absolutely love the work done on my chair. She has a great talent. Turned out beautiful, couldn’t be more pleased
Thankyou Bev it was such a pleasure!
What a great family piece. Bless you for having it restored. Jealous actually.

Absolutely lovely.

Thankyou
Exactly, and I would have thought there would no way on Earth it could be fixed. She did it. *shrug*
Goodness!!! When you said that was a paper seat cover I really didn't know how you were going to repair it. Well done I am suitably impressed.
Thanks so much!
This chair should be renamed as "Lazarus ". Only Trena's miracle repair on the paper has brought it back to life!
You are a detective the way you analyze the problems
You must have strong hands you love your ball pien hammer
When i saw the seat, I immediately thought "Washikozo paper". Guess I've been watching way too many Baumgartner restorations. :)
If I had some I would have used it Love his channel
You can not see the cracks. Wow-great job saving the chair.
Thanks
@@johnsfurniturerepair Always glad to watch workmanship at it's greatest. Enjoy your videos.
Another masterpiece!
I love how you did that seat and of course the rest of the rocker. But the seat is remarkable Trena. I had my doubts and I shouldn’t have. You are the best restorer.

I would have never thought you could fix a paper seat like that. That's pretty amazing.
Trena has it all in hand.yes no doubt Trena knows her stuff.❤😊
Came out real nice!
OMG! As a sign painter, I can't tell you how many times I tipped over the paint or dropped the brush on a finished sign! It's nice to know I'm not the only klutz in the world. Beautiful work, as usual!

Amazing professional work Trena! You are a master of your craft.
