Hockey tape, dead giveaway you're Canadian. I've been doing this for 40 years(retired) and learned something new today Enjoying your videos, good work
The shading and blending to match those colors is mind blowing and the attention to detail is a enjoy to watch.
Gorilla Glue - AAARRRGGGHHH!!! We've done many repairs like this in our shop in Missouri, but I still picked up a few tips from watching your video. Excellent work!
Nice!
Brilliant Trena!
Why do people give a thumbs down? It’s so sad to see negativity towards professional people doing their job. Grow up people
Guess they are bored lol
Excellent repair work!
Awesome job Trena
I’ve had a broken chair that’s like this one for at least 7 years now. I think I’ll give this method a shot.
I like the job you did on that chair i have never saw a chair like that in my life
I make my living repairing, restoring and refinishing old and unique furniture, and am pleasantly surprised to see you use many of the same techniques and products as I do. I've been doing this work for thirty years or better and find it heart warming to see someone as young and as capable as yourself carrying this profession on in a traditional style. Seat of your pants retro engineering, and some good old fashion ingenuity is what it takes to do what we do. And I will put a plug in for Mohawk products as I see you use them. Their touch up products are top notch. I've even picked up a couple of tricks watching your videos. I'm almost 70 and still learning. It's what keeps us young. You have a good knack for color matching, and I know that comes from lots of trial, and lots of error. Been there done that. Keep it up, I'll be watching.
You my dear sir, are my kin. Many trades and DIY people who watch me don’t fully understand how these restoration shops function on a multitude of skills and a ton of flying by the seat of our pants. Every single job we do is different, there are similar processes but never the same project. I am so happy to have a fellow restorer join me here. Cheers friend! 🍻
Aa
I never discount what works... The most effective solution sometimes is the most direct . May your hands never grow weary in your trade.
I’m 61 and still learning too. My grandmother started teaching me when I was 9. Trena is amazing in her craft and teaching us old fogies a new trick or two is an added bonus to her videos.
I, too, am an old dog woodworker doing everything from new custom furniture to repairing antiques and newer pieces. Hardly ever the same thing twice. I would be very appreciative if you would state how many hours your restoration or repair took to complete. Do you bid or charge hourly? What is your hourly rate$?
Those are nice-looking legs!
Thanks to you Miss John's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just discovered your channel. Over here in South Africa these chairs are very common. I have screwed up a repair myself and will now retry it using some of the techniques I've learned from your channel
Welcome and good luck!
You had me worried when you said you were going to run the dowel through the table saw! I was relieved when I saw the band saw!
Pretty fine job 👌
Great work!!!!!!!)))👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊
Fantastic Repairs !!!!
Lots of blokes on here 'explaining' what they would do, or saying that she knows what she is doing, as if she really needs this validation. She is a pro. The 21st century has left some chaps behind.
Thank you. It’s Nice to be respected cheers
Very valid point indeed.
WOW GOOD VIDEO Thanks Ed Loretto Ontario Canada
That doesn't look like mahogany.
You are a beauty
It’s not. Lol. It’s chacate. Just running my brain out loud. Cheers
I think you should get the look of the people when they come to see the absolutely gorgeous work you did for them. They are moments worth remembering! Wonderful work as always!!
I’ll keep asking. Many are shy. Cheers!
Excellent work.
I admire the Lady. You need patience for such work.
nice work Trena
Nicely done!
You are an Artist. I'm telling you, this was awesome work.
Thank you! Cheers!
You cant imagine how much better I felt when I saw you kerf cut the dowel perimeter on the Band saw and not the Table saw!!!!! My mind flashed to doom and danger while at the same time knowing that was just a goof of words!
Lol. Oops
WoW! Really nice!
Nice work and the attention to details ..
As we might say over here, a top bird doing a top job 👍🏻
Well done Ma'am.
Your sense of what color is needed and blending it is exquisite
Thankyou!
Nicely done repair.
That's what equality means to me.
Seeing someone no matter what gender being as capable as anyone else and getting paid what it is worth.
Here we have a gorgeous woman teaching everyone, male and female how to do top-notch work.
This is how the world should head towards, not just demanding entitllement.
Go girl! You are and inspiration!
Thankyou
You are quite the artist!
Excellent !
Best regards from Russia.
Great job. Couldn't even tell it was repaired. Thanks.
Beautiful work
Very relaxing to watch.
I am impressed!
Can’t lie, I’m here for the t-shirt n jeans 😜
Lol
I appreciate the "steam tube" you used in the chair repair segment. Your honesty and work ethic is astounding and I like that. Anyhow people who critic you without any actual experience are annioying. And....... I find people who don't make any mistakes just aren't doing very much!
The ox is slow, but the earth is patient!
Nice work. The color matching on the repaired parts came out very good.
Thanks 👍
Excellent!
Thanks for explaining what "hockey tape" is to us Southerners!
Interesting trick cutting notches in the dowel to let excess glue escape, I'll have to remember that. Nice repair job.
Me too
That I have not seen before. Very well done. ❤❤❤
Thanks
That's Ridiculous... What an Amazing Job You Did!
Wow, good job.
Clicked for the thumbnail, wasn't disappointed
Perfect job,beautiful
nice work enjoyed
Superb job fixing that chair!
Very good job .
nice restoration. That color match you did on the thin spindle from front to back was amazing.
Thankyou
Only you could make repairing a broken chair leg interesting! Amazing!
Wow! From throw away chair to a great looking chair.
Break? What break? LOL
Looks amazing.
The only reason a customer wanted this chair repaired is for sentimental reasons. Seen many like this.
Excellant crafting technique. Those leg dowels were not easy.
Thanks ken
You have a real gift in your ability to blend those colors.
I think the same thing every time I watch her projects. Like an artist blending and painting a landscape.
Well done, as expected !
That strapped leather is known as "reimpie", pronounced "rimpy" and is a traditional method of making seats in South Africa. On farms, which were all very remote, furniture was made by the farmer and the dried cowhide, or springbok hide in some cases, was used for everything, from carpets to shoes. Small pueces of different animals were sometimes sewn together, to form a floor covering, and was called a "Kaross".
Lovely to see how well Trina repaired a modern copy of an old piece furniture. She is so talented and meticulous in everything she does.
Thankyou!
This is a traditional Dutch "Riempie" chair from South Africa. Riempie (pronounced ream-pee) refers to the rawhide strap seat which is very comfortable and lasts for years. Great repair and cosmetic detail.
Thankyou!
@@johnsfurniturerepair oooooopoo
I had the same issues with an antique chair. When I marked where the dowel goes, I used some of my wife’s old lipstick to mark the location on the point of the locator. It shows up great.
Great idea.
@@johnsfurniturerepair With someone having your God given talent repairing furniture, it may behoove you to learn to do spindle and wood turning if you don’t know how at this time. The leg to the chair, if it happened to be beyond repair, could have been duplicated using the same type of wood or wood with similar color. Additionally, you could duplicate finials where they are badly broken. I have had to turn finials on several occasions that were badly damaged and they came out very nicely. Just a suggestion being offered to a talented lady.
Additionally, you may find wood turning a very habit forming activity that could lead to other sources of income. Once you get bit by the wood turning bug, it will be an enjoyable activity that leads you use the creative side of the mind. The cost of turning tools can get expensive. But you can make your own tools for a fraction of the price and is easy to do.
Every part is concentric and perfect, Oh, and the chair's ok as well.
lol
THIS WOMAN IS AMAZING
You could have been an orthopedic surgeon. Tremendous job that shows your professional ability.
she looks good :) very good in fact..
Gorgeous.
The chair was probably made in the 1950s or 1960s. That style of mixing Imbuia (or other dark woods like Stinkwood) with Yellowwood was a popular trend in South Africa, especially for dining tables and chairs. Sadly Yellowood was heavily logged and the natural reserves were depleted. Yellowood is now a protected species in South Africa and the remaining Yellowood forests, especially around Knysna on the Cape south coast are carefully managed. The use of the rawhide straps originated in the 1820s when the Voortrekkers, early Dutch settlers, and farmers used it as an alternative to cane. It was lightweight, strong, and could easily be repaired or replaced. It's still a popular style for rustic furniture in SA today. Glad to see that chair being beautifully repaired and not being scrapped.
Thankyou for this detailed information!
Correct. The original Stinkwood/ Yellowwood combination was later replaced by an Imbuia/ Pau Marfim combination, both imported from South America..This specific chair looks like the latter.
The style of the seat is known as "riempie". Regards from Perth, Derek
Great Job
Nice job Trena!

Very well done. Love the color matching especially the blonde piece.
I love that you retain the natural beauty of the wood instead painting and roughing it up.
You are awesome l love to watch you work,
Wow! what a difference,
I'm an amateur who's done some actual restoration of vintage furniture ( not true antiques) and found your videos just recently. I am learning some techniques from you with every one and want to thank you for giving me of your knowledge. I'm a 75yr old woodworker who still enjoys my hobby.
Happy to be helpful
Nice work :)
