- This week Trena strips many layers of paint off an old kitchen chair. It is her final project in Ontario.
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 hope you've all settled in and are enjoying your surroundings. I can't wait to see your regular posts again. Job so well done again. I love the respect and care you put into each piece. Thank you Trena!
Thank you so much!
I can't even imagine how happy your mom and dad must be to have you back close to them again.
I was thinking about how excited they all must be! My parents and I lived in N Texas, I got married and moved to California, it’s not something I would ever do again, I think children should be raised with their grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins nearby. But,
when we were planning a trip back home, I was so excited I’d call my Mom almost daily…and that was before cell phones! I called so much that one time she said hello Lola…… she just knew it would be me. I miss them terribly, regret that I didn’t spend as much time with them as I should. It’s ironic to me that I spent years wanting to move back to Texas, and I finally did, but my parents are gone, my only sibling is gone, only one nephew will keep in contact with me, the other two are angry over politics!!! We often don’t realize just how precious our time with our family is until they are no longer with us….Now I’m 80, I spend a lot of time reminiscing about
all of my yesterdays. I know Trena’s folks will be ecstatic to have them all back home! 🤗
I'm sure it's bitter sweet leaving your beloved shop behind. Wishing you all the best with your family at your new home Trena!
Turbo Trena! What a history that chair has. So sad about the DED infection decimating the species. Same with Emerald Ash Borer. Glad you could save the piece and give it a new life to be filled with generations of new memories.
That's some beautiful country . Best of luck in your new shop,
Such a beautiful country and such a crook as ‘leader’!
Very timely video. 9 hours ago when you posted this video, I was in the shop trying to knock a dining room chair apart and reglueing it back together.
Since I watched your technique, I think I will be able to do the other three chairs in a lot less time. Thanks for sharing.
Glad I could help!
The chair was a tough one but looks really good. Like the trip scenery and especially the music ! Thanks for sharing .
Thanks for watching!
Such a beautiful country. Can’t wait for all your new content.
A chair. A family thread tied. Years of paint. Saw marks. Loving restoration. A lonely chair given some love. I was actually in tears when it was sitting there all dolled up. How spiritually fitting that an old family chair closes the door. ❤
Wow! Thank you for taking us along. What a trip! I hope that you can rest up and be well and heathy. You deserve the best Again, thanks for being so generous in sharing parts of your life and living adventure with us. We will wait on the frayed edges of wobbly chairs for the next episode!
Thank you so much!
Dang, girl! There was more paint than chair! I'm glad to see you home and getting settled in (11/23). Here's hoping for great times during the holidays for your whole family, Trena!
Thankyou!
Thanks for the travelogue! The old shop looks sad without your projects. I hope the new shop brings you as much prosperity as the old one. Hopefully the new shop is set up for filming because we love to see your artistry. Love the last project is the elm chair. What a way to pay tribute to the craftswomen in your husband’s family.
Thank you for letting us drive along with you Trena… lovely scenery too. Country…😮😊❤
My pleasure 😊
Pretty country landscape and a lot of lonely highways. It's always good to return home.
Thank you for sharing, and the chair looked great.
Dear Trena, thank you so much for taking us on the journey from Windsor to Saskatoon -- don't think those of us, in the UK, can really appreciate the vast, rolling distances, and open spaces, that Canada has to offer. ~~ here the longest road distance, from one end to the other is less than 850 miles. (The entire UK, would fit 2.7 times into Saskatchewan alone).
Now my "Trena Friends" and I, are eagerly awaiting to see your new workshop, and appreciating all the magical transformations you create! Love, and very warmest wishes from London UK 😃👍
Thankyou!
I am watching this on 11-11-2023 my 72 nd birthday. Nice gift.
Awesome!
Thanks so much for sharing your family adventure. Love your video's . Looking forward to your new shop build and future projects.
Thank you Trena for all the incredible work you did in restoring my mum’s kitchen chair/work bench!
I would often come home from school as a little girl, and find her in the kitchen-sawing and hammering, as she created something that would make our life better. Then she’d brew some tea, wipe the sawdust off the chair and we’d sit and talk…after that, she’d clean up the tools and wood, and cook supper!
If the Good Lord allowed Mum to look down from Heaven and watch you working on that chair, I know she would have been cheering you on!
I think of you-and of Mum-every time I walk into my study and see my beautiful elm chair with its lovely wood grain, and saw marks of memory.
Thanks too for the trip footage. We stopped for pics at the Manitoba sign many years ago on our first journey to Sask, the journey that ultimately led to your part in this story!
Love & prayers,
Your mil
Thanks mom. Lovely memories ❤️
Fantastic! Loved the trip, and the chair.💯
You did not disappoint, very violent with the hammer😂😂😂.
So excited for you and excited to finally see you get home. I've been waiting and watching often for this to come back on. So happy for you and your entire family. There is no place like home and family is forever no matter where you are............I am sure they are beyond thrilled and you will make more fabulous memories, videos and make more furniture GORGEOUS again!
God bless you and all your family and may you enjoy the journey of the new shop and having your horse back to run and ride!!!!
So, so elated for you all!
Trena, thank you for all the amazing videos in that shop. I know your friends, neighbors, and customers in Ontario will miss you. I hope they know how lucky they were to have you in their lives. Saskatoon will soon find out lucky they are to have you coming home to take over for your dad. I am sure he is immensely proud of you. I look forward to all the new videos you'll make in the family shop. You are an awesome person. I wish you and your family all the best in this new chapter of your life.
Thankyou!
Best wishes in your new home Trena and your family!
Your journey gave a brief idea of the countryside, and the enormous distances in Canada. Beautiful in summer, but your winters......
Thank you for all those videos, and look forward to many more!
Thank you so much!
Another sweet looking job. Can't wait until you show everyone the new shop, and new projects.
Moving by your parents is a good thing! Us older generation people need to be close to our kids! Beautiful area, by the way!
Thank you so much for including the trip back home. I had a college roommate from Saskatoon and it was fun to get a glimpse of where ol' Bill was from.
Always mixed emotions when you are moving. 🎭 May God bless you and your family wherever you are!
Many , many thanks for sharing such an experience. The world today needs more stuff like this in order to balance out. People like you make this world a better place. You are blessed.
Well done Trena ❤😊All the best in your dads shop in your home country😮😊❤
Seeing your family jumping for joy as you arrived, that must have been so special for you. Wishing you all the best in your new home and may God bless your family as you begin a new chapter in your lives. Now, get to work! 😊
😁
Thank you for showing the beautiful country side of Canada, Trena. The title of the video really got me laughing. Hope your new shop is coming along well.
It is SO AWESOME to see all that paint come off!
I feel so fortunate to have found and followed your channel. You are a remarkable person, thank you for all you share with us. I'm excited to see your next adventure unfold.
Wow, thank you
dear Trena, it is always difficult to leave a place where you have spent a lot of time working in your workshop and when you are passionate you do not count the time to restore their former nobility to all those pieces of furniture on which you are working. You have asked a lot of poorly asked questions to arrive at the desired result so you turn a page in your life, both personal and professional, you can be proud of all this work accomplished even if you sometimes doubted or faced unwanted situations. so good luck in your new workshop may you continue to enjoy restoring these magnificent pieces of furniture which have accompanied their owners throughout their lives and those of their children and grandchildren and restored their former glory. Bravo Trena for this eternal quest for the perfect job.
Thankyou!
Thanks so much for the memory. The last time I did that drive was in 2010 with my husband who is no longer in the land of the living. Just seeing that scenery again brought back memories. All the best to you in Saskatoon. I’m looking forward to seeing your horse and the new shop.
Oh thankyou for sharing!❤️❤️
Your video of your trip from Windsor to Saskatchewan made me miss you. Once you get settled in there you can have your truck detailed by my other favorite UA-camr, Detail Geek. Thank you,
WOW! MasterClass in disassembly! I learned SO MUCH. Thank you. Great results. Love ELM - it's making a comeback. "Some of the surviving older elms have been tested and, amazingly, are disease resistant." There is hope. Some wood suppliers are selling elm, but you'd have to check which elm species it is. Some hybrids developed crossed with asian elm (which is disease resistant). // Loved the travelogue. So MUCH scenery in Canada, wherever you go. Where was that ferry? Gorgeous shoreline as you pulled out. Looking forward to your new shop and MANY more wonderful wood projects. 🤗
Thankyou!
@@johnsfurniturerepair You didn't answer about where that ferrry was???
I miss you when you're not on........I love watching your work,it seems so easy even if it's not. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
You are so welcome......in today's time I look for peaceful content.........yours does that I like watching you tackle some of the toughest things, it must give you a great reward to do what you do. I pray God's many blessings for giving your beautiful shop up, but family is what it is about, I'm so very proud of you and your choice.@@johnsfurniturerepair
Love the “new” chair well done. Thank you for sharing your trip across Canada to Saskatchewan. Absolutely beautiful country. Best wishes for your new adventure
Just beautiful and heart warming 💓 I know your parents are overjoyed to have you and your family home again 🎉
Perfect last project for you in your wonderful shop. Excited to see what comes next.
Thank you, precious Trena. 😎👍🏻
Enjoyed the video Trena. The chair looks great. I can imagine you are beat and will be glad to have this move behind you. Looking forward to seeing the new shop build videos and the new life chapter you and your family are starting. What a beautiful place your Dad and Mom have. Be safe and God bless.
Thanks so much
You have all the hassle and we see a lovely well filmed road trip - thank you.
I wish you all the very best in the future.
You don’t understand how vast Canada is until you drive it. Not many places you can drive 2000km and still be in the same province. I drive those highways in Ontario and especially northern Ontario often. That Wawa and Thunder Bay sign tugged a nerve. Great video.
In my country you can't drive for any more than 7 hours (highway) at all, and then you will have crosssed all 5 regions.
@@SIC647 there’s really only one highway that crosses Canada. Where I live going west the next major city is 700km and same east lol. It’s a big place.
Trena, that was a cool video. You showed us your very last piece of furniture being restored in your old shop, a simple piece, for family, that's been in the family for awhile, very nice! And your long journey across a good portion of Canada all the way from Ontario back home to Saskatchewan to take over your Dad's furniture repair shop was very pretty and it showed a lot of the rural, wide expanses of Canada. (We know about wide open expanses in the large states in the northwestern United States.) We loved this final video in your old shop and seeing part of your long move; we can't wait to see what comes next and seeing you do more amazing work.
Thankyou so much for joining me on the journey!
Cool final project in the old shop. Stripping and refinishing old furniture is very satisfying (to me). Looking forward to seeing your new shop and more videos. Best of luck.
Even with all the furniture out you still have lots of things in your shop I do not like moving so I can sympathize with you. I hope all is well and you are not snowed in. That's a lot of paint. Thank you for sharing.👍
Extraordinary last project. Beautiful. So look forward to seeing your first project in your new place.
Thanks so much!
Great job with the chair, it’s beautiful! Was so surprised at the end, got a whole road trip in a beautiful country, love Canada and Canadians! Thanks for that, now I know, hope it’s going well and according to plans!
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for taking us along on your journey. Best wishes to you and your family as you settle-in to your new home and life.
What a lovely welcome home from your family. ❤
Saskatoon huh? I grew up in Saskatoon but now live in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. I frequently go to Saskatoon to visit my 88 year old Dad. Now that they gave twined the Yellowhead all the way between here and there it only takes 5 hours to drive there. Saskatoon is such a beautiful little city. Such a nice drive. I remember doing it when I was posted (I’m military) from Edmonton to Petawawa, Ont and then from Petawawa to Yellowknife, NT. Petawawa to Yellowknife was quite the drive let me tell you. Nice but long drive. Excellent job on that chair. It sure had an abnormally large number of paint layers on it; what a lot of work it was. As always you did great work. Looking forward to seeing your videos from Saskatoon.
Thank you Trena for letting us travel with you to your new home! I'm sure it was so bittersweet to leave Ontario, but also so exciting to be going back home to family and friends there. I was so glad to see that you will be building your second dream shop and perhaps you will be able to add or change things from your first one, to make it even better! I was wondering about your horse and it's so great that it will be able to be with you again. So after being there now for 6 months I hope that you are really settled in and enjoying your life and new adventure! Best wishes to you and your family!
Thankyou so much for being here
So beautiful chair! It got is soul back. I got very emotional when you showed the chair and the empty shop, i dont know why but it got to me. It might have been your voice, that it was the final job in there. Wow.. I wasn't expecting that one! The road trip to your home was exiting, all the changes in the landscape. Welcome home to Saskatchewan, looking forward to the future videos from there! :)
So happy for you at last you are home. Looking forward to many more lovely repairs.
Thanks for bringing us along! I wish you all the best in your new home.
Change is good. Life is short. Try something different.
11Nov23 Thanks for the memories. Have travelled on business to Winterpeg a few times. Loved every minute.
All the best to you all. Cheers from Comox Valley
Glad you enjoyed it
Holy crap, I never thought a instructional video would make me get misty eyed but this did!
What a vast and beautiful country Canada is. Home near Mum & Dad, you should be very happy and I wish you the very best of luck. Looking forward to developments of the new shop.
Thank you so much!
The landscape is stunning, reminds me a lot of northern Sweden.
That is some beautiful country up there.
Thank you for a beautiful trip across Canada. Saying goodbye is always difficult. But saying welcome home and a lovely greeting upon arrival is worth it. Savor being with you parents.
Thank you so much!
#1 Best Show Yet 🎉
Thank You for sharing your life with us, you are an incredible person
You are so welcome
Canada is so beautiful when its warm... A nightmare when its not.. That is why I live in Texas. Happy you all made it safely.
Lol thanks
Thanks for showing us the journey to your new home. Can’t wait to what comes next for you and your family.
Loved the wrap up TRIP HOME! Congrats! Looking forward to seeing the new shop saga! Hope the poison ivy went away.
Yes thank goodness!
So happy you are all moved and im sure by now quite settled in. So glad to that you are close to your parents again! Cant wait to see what the future holds for you! Beautiful property. Looking foward to the grand tour ❤😊
Thank you so much!!
It's interesting to watch a video and experience genuine happiness for someone I don't know, but it's a nice feeling. All the best for what's to come.
This was wonderful and to see your welcoming party was super cool. Gave me itchy feet 😄
It's always mixed feelings saying goodbye to an old place, a time you met people, the smells and the projects you worked on for people. Sure, it's a longing to say goodbye to a place you've worked for and take one last look before the doors close. A new place, your home, that you know, new times, dreams come true. I wish you all the best in your new endeavors and look forward to watching.
Missed you. That ride home made me so nostalgic about the time I hitch-hiked across Canada back in 1975. Stayed at youth hostels and campsites every night. Found myself in Wawa for the longest time before I could hitch a ride out of there. Camped on Vancouver Island for a few days, visited Kamloops, Jasper, Banff, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal and then home to The States and my little Rhode Island. Some of the best times of my life. Anyway, looking forward to new shows once you've built your new shop and gotten settled in. Good luck in your new place. Wishing you all the best!
I am so happy for all of you. Glad you will have your family, horse, shop dog, and Woodsley too! Your property is gorgeous and it sits on a beautiful lake. I hope you have fun designing and building your new shop. Can't wait to see your first episode from there.
Thank you so much!
Bienvenue dans votre nouvelle maison. Thank you for the road trip. Good work ( hammering)restoring that chair. New chapter for the chair and for John's Furniture Repair. Merci
Thank you for taking us along on your trip through Canada . It's so beautiful.
Our pleasure!
Lived in Windsor for a couple of years then moved to the Sault. Wonderful!!!!!
End of an era. Thanks for the final parting memory. I hope all's going well in your new home and look forward to seeing you working again soon in your new shop.
Hopefully when you go back home you'll be able to teach again, wished I lived closer. Have been looking locally for a carpenter that teaches, but where I live in the UK there is no one. When I was at school the teachers were never interested in teaching me, as I am left-handed, so not really interested in going back to school. Can't wait to get your regular updates and to see you in your new old shop. 👍
Thanks for bringing us along on your move. The scenery is spectacular! Can’t wait to see your new shop.
Thanks for watching!
I have watched your videos for a long time and learned the right way to do repairs and restoration. Now that I am retired I started doing woodworking and furniture repair in my garage . I have always done woodworking but not furniture repair until I saw your videos on UA-cam. Ill be watching for your videos from your new shop. I live in the town of Essex. I am an amateur compared to you ,but we will keep at it and learn as we go. Thanks for your videos.
I am so happy to learn that everything is going well for you Trena! I was a bit concerned that you had stopped posting videos! Saskatchewan is a long way! 🙂
Can't wait to see more of your videos in the near future! Hope that you're well settled in!
When I see what you can do with a simple chair, I can hardly refrain my amazement. You have 25 years of experience, but there is a whole lot of passion in your work. You trully are an inspiration!
Thank you so much!!
Ahhhh what a journey! The chair was a perfect last piece for your shop! No doubt you will miss it but you have a great video history to reminisce! And you have arrived at a beautiful home! Wow 10 acres is awesome! I know I have loved having my horses here with me the last 34 years! We didn’t have quite the move though just about 3 miles to the edge of town. Enjoy your new chapter. It will be nice to be closer to your parents as they do tend to need us more as time goes by. Cant wait for your story to continue! ❤
Thankyou!
All the best with your new location at Saskatchewan. That's awesome that you're going to be taking over your dad's business coming full circle where you started. Your mom and dad will be so glad to see you. God bless you and your family
Thanks so much!
such an intimate and generous video. beautiful and also poignant with wonderful music. thank you and lots of success. in the meantime you have been there about 5 months so looking forward to a progress report! cheers from the Netherlands
Yes! Thank you so much!
Wow! What a trip! The scenery was beautiful and yes, what a way to build roads. I did notice how nice your roads were compared to ours in the U.S. So happy you made it safe and sound. How nice was it to have a welcoming committee just waiting for you! I wish you the best in building your new shop and horse barn. That is a whole lot of work for you to get done. I really can't wait for you to start posting regularly again. You are so talented and I learn something new each time I watch one of your video. I hope you are happy with the move and look forward to seeing you work your magic again!!
Tha kypu!
What a wonderful trip--thanks for taking us along the drive.
Glad you enjoyed it
Don’t forget us. Please make new videos. Thanks for letting us travel with you. It was beautiful. Stay warm up there.

All the best in your new shop with your home turf under your feet
Thank you so much!
Wouldn’t like to get on your bad side!
It must be sad to leave your home & workshop, but what a wonderful new adventure you are embarking on. Your new property looks amazing and I’m sure your horse will love all the new smells and getting to know her new home. And Nessa too.
Thank you so much for taking us with you on your move. Canada is an absolutely beautiful country and vast. It was lovely to see some of it again. Your family looked so happy to see you all again too. ❤
Thanks 👍
It was great to share your journey to your new home you and your family must have many mixed feelings. All the best with building a new worshop very exciting times with a new chapter in your lives.
Congratulations your a credit to your dad obviously he taught you well from Scotland.
Thank you for taking us along on your move! Now I have to read up on this part of Canada to see what you grow and such. Best of luck in your new home and back with your family! Can’t wait to see your new shop!
I wish you nothing but happiness and good fortune, Godspeed.
Congratulations on your last piece. Your mother in law will be thrilled! Best of luck in your move. Going home, how sweet those words!❤❤
I love the chair and how it's changed from crap to tresure.
Have a safe trip Trena and see you soon
Thankyou!
Thank you for taking us along on your journey! Such beautiful country!!!!!
LOVIT ! Congratulations on the move, I know it's not easy, by any means. Can't wait to begin seeing the new installments in the New-Old shoppe !
Thank you so much!!
It may be sad to leave the old workshop, but it looks like a beautiful upgrade! Best of luck!
New shop to be built in the spring. But my dads space is good
So sweet that your family greeted you with champagne!
They looked SO happy to have you there... such ❤!
Your new property looks absolutely beautiful... and I wish you many, many happy years there.
Thanks for including us on your journey. I can't wait to see the new shop.
🎉
Yes! Thank you!
that was a really lovely way to restore that chair. leaving the things that give it character and show its history while making it look good is really something that makes the result special. good luck in your new place!
Glad you enjoyed it!
