- This week Trena and Laura stretch some new reed-style weave over the frame of an old porch rocker.
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.buymeacoff...
I aspire to have your grit to take on difficult/challenging projects. Many would say no, or say "it's not my cup of tea." Not you Trena. You and Laura rose to the occasion...nicely done!
Thankyou !
You’re so right!! Finding something like this has been nearly Impossible!! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
This was amazing. I once had to re-cane the seat of a rocker and thought that was a tough job. It's such a pleasure watching professionals who can also bring creative solutions to the job.
Trena, you never cease to amaze me with your skill in bringing old and broken pieces back to life. The effort you went into to get that reed weave looking tight was above and beyond what I've seen other do. While I was laughing with you while you were bonking your heads, it reminded my of the Three Stooges. I hope your heads are okay. If I ever move back up north, I'll make the drive to your shop to get my furniture fixed.
Lol
@@johnsfurniturerepair That's twice I've gotten you to laugh at one of my comments. It's a sign I should go into Stand up Comedy
Very nicely done ! This is the first time I have seen someone rejuvenate a wicker chair . Good job.
You always make everything look amazing. Even if it’s an old brown wicker rocker. I bet his elderly mom will have a big smile on her face at Christmas.
I hope so 🥰
Amazing work You are fearless,!! I learned a lot on this one. When in doubt, keep laughing and enjoy the process. Thanks for sharing. Your talent never ceases to amaze!! Kudos to Laura as well!
The more difficult the job the more laughter...you both did a GREAT JOB. Love this video.
Yep. Lol. It’s better than crying
Great job. Enjoyed watching you putting on the new weave with all the struggles and bumps into the clamps. The end results were amazing.
Amazing!!! Wow! Looked very difficult to do! Love how it turned out!❤️
That chair was made by the Lloyd Loom Furniture Company which was in business from the 1920’s. I have a loverly armchair in the original old rose colour with a lift out sprung seat in a rose floral fabric. Similar Lloyd Loom chairs are still being made and are very popular.
Thanks for the info!
Love the video. Reminds me of some of the jobs I've gotten myself into. Love the laughter when sometimes you want to cry and ask why.......You girls did an awesome job. I KNOW how bad your hands hurt. Even with sharp scissors somethings just don't want to give. Thanks for your inspiration. I can see me doing one next time. 🙂
You two sure got a workout on this one plus the giggles classic thanks for the laughs!
Wow I can only imagine how hard that material is to work with. You did a wonderful job.
Hi Trena and Laura, great restoration, I bet you don't do another one of those any time soon, fun vid I had some laughs as I think you did also, seeing that glove tip stapled was hilarious, I wish you'd shown more of the bloopers, cheers to you both from Oz !!😂😀🥰💗❤
stapling your glove was classic! Lots of hard work in this one.
Well done. You don't get scared easily!
This video was many things. I laughed outloud at Trena and Laura, that was the best!! Talk about enjoying your work!! And the fact it was for someone’s ninety year old Mom was wonderful! One of my favorite videos ever!!!
Awesome!
Good gracious Trina, when it comes to restoring furniture is there anything you can’t do? Marvelous work. Oh, and you ladies need to cheer up. 😊
Lol
Looks brilliant great result love watching your effort and hard work that goes in to your resterations
Frank's is absolutely the best place for any kind of furniture weave!! They know EVERYTHING. And they will always spend time talking you through your project. Plus, when you call, an actual human answers the phone and it's frequently Frank.
yes they are awesome!
Your laughter, even during the musical interludes, was delightful to see and hear.
Bravo à vous et belle année 2023 à vous tous.
You are right there is nothing on the Internet besides this video! And I’m happy that this one exists! I have a 20 year old resin wicker rocker that needs the wicker replaced. The bones are good as it is aluminum frame and I don’t Want to throw it away like everyone keeps telling me to do! I’m retired now so I think especially from watching this video, if I can find the resin fabric, I should be able to repair it myself! Thank you so much for posting this video and for the name of the supplier!
What a challenging time 😊. You and Laura have real fortitude to tackle this and keep your humor and not let the fabric win! You rock!
Really good considering you haven’t done this sort of thing before. Very good.
with all that pulling and stretching, I'm impressed at how straight the weave is in the finished product. I would have thought that was good for the trash but you rescued it.
So glad you’ve got help. You guys are making a very difficult job FUN. I wouldn’t attempt a job like that in a million years. Way to go girls. You both “rock”. Get it - rock 😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you ! Trena - You are so right that you are the first one to do this type of Wicker repair on UA-cam. I have a bookcase, that needs this of repair as well.
Your have a true friend in Lori! She is good person and hard worker like you are. Your videos are in a class all their own Every time I watch your videos, they bring a smile to my face. Everything about your channel is a breath of fresh air!
Thank you so much
I am glad you had this task! Great job.
Never would I have imagined that wicker came as a bolt of cloth. At the beginning of the video I was thinking why bother. You truly have no fear or limits. So very, very impressed.
I believe that was an exercise in perseverance & strength of your character. Wonderful work Trina. Thank you.
I have to applaud you on this one! Muscle power and laughter came in handy! Well done!
I like the way you reuse household products like your water bottle and glue applicator, little things that helps keep your overhead down, keep thing out of the landfill and in a small way keep the cost to your customers by some. It shows you care about people now and the future where some of it ends up in the ocean. You are a smart young lady (maybe in your 30s, you must have had your daughter when you were very young)
Thanks for showing your followers how to help the environment! Thanks as always! A long time watcher snd commenter?
To się dzisiaj Panie napracowały!
Efekt wspaniały.
Zdrowia Paniom życzę.
You ladies were really enjoying your time working on this chair. Awesome job!
Yep
There is nothing that you cannot do!! Everything you work on turns out beautifully!!
Trena! My goodness, I have never seen such an undertaking and to see you tackle it was an incredible experience just to watch! YOU! Are amazing! GREAT WORK!!!👍🏼
Trena, you two were having such a laugh, I laughed right along with you two! I'm glad that you included that in this video. You two are very good "crazy"......... just teasin' !!🤣 It really looks GREAT! Your patience is amazing!!
Lol Thankyou
Another miraculous resurrection from the dead! LOL Really your work is always amazing! Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us!
great job 😊
What a remarkable job! Laughter the Best Medicine! Your Gift/Talent Truly is Amazing.
Trena, You went above and beyond Thanks for the lesson but I KNOW I would Never attempt this restoration. Wonderful job. If I ever find a wicker rocker that needs a restore I promise I won't get in touch. I did hear your comment. Great job, God Bless You.
Lol thanks
You are so skilled. Wonderful result. You both deserved a nice glas of wine after that!
Someone got their giggle box turned over while working on this one! The finished product really turned out great.
A pair of carpet shears may be easier than fabric scissors for cutting the material to fit.
Thanks for letting us watch a UA-cam first.
I just picked up two wicker chairs that need some touching up. Thank you so much for posting your vidio, it was very encouraging.
You are so welcome!
Great job. I have a cane wheelchair that needs to be done. I thought it would be a great project, until I looked for help. It is still in the corner of my project room. Cheers from Newfoundland.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching you guys working and laughing as you work. The stapled glove was very funny! Tough job though. A real learned experience!
Your patience is amazing. I could never…
Thanks Trina. Very interesting.
Great job! Fascinating to watch.
WOW, WOW, impressive work! Surprised this kind or level of work is even possible.
So that’s how it’s done! Holy smokes, hard work for hands that’s for sure. What a beautiful job though, the natural color sure looked fabulous with the dark painted wood structure, but, you know, you live into your 90’s and want paint, you’re gonna get paint! I could tell that you added your touches to the depths of the browns, it’s the best brown there is!
Lol yep, she deserves what she wants lol. Thanks for watching!
Looks like a chair that just came out of a store. Fantastic job ladies.
You and Laura have done a superb job, your hard work and perseverance is remarkable, super well done. Sharing all the steps and mistakes along the way added to the authenticity of you work and highlights your tremendous character. I truly enjoy all your videos, thank you for sharing.
Thankyou
Beautiful! I’ve never seen anyone do wicker before, my hands hurt just watching you. Have a great week. 😊
That was the funniest furniture resto video I’ve ever seen. You and your helper kept me laughing.
Good job on the chair!
My hands hurt just from watching. You two did a fantastic job! I would have given up before starting ...
WOW! that was a job and a Half
I would not have attempted this, final product looks good.
Wow, that looked like a really challenging job. My hands would have never held out without cramping. Good job! 😍
Such fun watching you ladies laugh. Amazing work ❣
The paint is original…as I found out when researching the Lloyd Loom company after I bought a great little early 1900’s desk and had to source the woven paper in order to re-weave part of
the corners and the sweet little rolled back. (Mine was a deep oxblood color, with gold braid-original color). It actually added strength to the woven paper, and made it weatherproof. Lightweight and flexible/comfortable, one of their early best products was baby buggies (early 1900’s). They are now Lloyd-Flanders, still make woven paper furniture that is quite expensive. I believe the company is in Menominee, Michigan. I give you credit for taking that one on!
Oh nice! Thanks for the information!
That was an amazing repair. It had to of been a workout. Probably there was some kind of tool that helped the original maker. Good job!
You are so knowledgeable and talented. I love watching your videos. It does my heart good to see a woman in this field ;). Also, your music is great. Keep up the great work!
This Old Rocker! Fantastic!
Trena, I hope the owner really appreciate it and looks after the chair it should last a very long time. You all take care 😀👍👍
At first I thought, no, she's not going to weave! Thankfully you pulled out the sheet of material. I love your can do attitude! End product is great, just what the customer ordered. I'm about to embark on repairing a chair covered with rafia, wondering if it will be like veneer patching since there's a backer fabric. All the best!
Well if you thought I wasn’t going to weave…. Your gonna want to see this weekends vid 🙃
I saw it and I am duly impressed!! Great sisters' collaboration.
That's amazing work.
What a job that must have been, can you imagine that you work at the factory that makes that chair and that is your job to do every day, nice work.
Truly amazing , Anyone else would have trashed it. Great job.
Another amazing restoration project...WOW
Hi Trena! Chair looks great.
You probably don't get too many wicker replacement jobs but as I watched you struggle cutting
that weave with scissors, sheet metal shears came to mind. Lots of leverage and solid.
Yep and I even have some. Lol
Lol you both are so funny. I want to join the party
I really liked this and it was fun to see you working with your friend. Having fun doing what you love is even better! It looked hard to get the fiber to bend and stretch how you needed it to be and I could really empathize with the pain you described in your hands. I agree that the brown was not a preferred color, but ... the woman is 98 and at 98 you should really get what you want. God only knows, she may have said she didn't want anything done to it as it had lasted so long this way. My own Mother, now deceased, was like that about some things of hers. Again, congrats for taking on this project. You did a great job!
Thankyou !
Holy smokes, that was a job! Looks nice at the end of the day. I wonder if you’ll ever do that again. Great job Trena ❤
I gotta give you credit I would've looked at that and said no thanks. I'm also not a fan of wicker but that's beside the point. You did a really good job on it though, even though it was probably painful to paint it like that.
Frustration and a bit of fun on this one. Looks like hard-hats may have been needed. 😉
I have a feeling that this may remain the only video on the Internet EVER.
It always amazes me that you'll tackle almost anything (once anyway) and always win.
What a wonderful job you did on this chair...just wonderful
I love to see weavers work. Thank you for this x
Well, that was a twisted tale but you weaved a beautiful outcome!
Greetings from Saskatchewan. Excellent job. My hands cramped up just watching the video. Cheers.
Happy New Year! Trena. Hope you and your family are doing well in the New Year.
We received this in the mail today! The packaging was fine, no damage during shipping thank goodness! The construction was very simple ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxXH3jIpsn6vpr3D26KWAriUejh7CSxVp7 , the bottom rocking part and the ottoman were already put together for us which is nice!As for the actual quality, the wood seems fine.. Not too cheap but maybe not the quality you would find in a store for 400$. However, it is still sturdy and feels secure. I've only had it for one night, so of course no squeaking yet.. But if it does squeak it could be easily oiled. The cushions are comfy, and made of a suede like material. Obviously with time these cushions will probably wear and tear.. But for the price of the chair it is still worth it just to go out and buy new cushions that fit in the future.Overall I am very satisfied, I was a little worried after reading some reviews and looking through the photos, but I'm happy I bought it! Obviously it's not a heavy-duty chair, but with care I'm hoping it will last a while.
Nice sound effects on the intro!
Lol
Absolutely beautiful. You're a master.
Thank you! 😊
Wow, that was a workout stretching that material! 🤣. You made it look new again!👍
Yes! Thank you!
Well done!
I've done cane and I've done rush seats-and that's enough for me! So tough on the hands!
You've got to earn top points for persistence and all I can say to that is I'm glad I'm on the other side of the world.
What an amazing transformation!
A real adventure and thank you so much for sharing 😊
Amazing! Great fun watching you laugh away the stress of this project. Fantastic job.
Well done girls! I hope you were well paid for your efforts and professional results.
Yes! Thank you!
Great job Trina, well done 👏👏👍
Wow! I didn’t know that could be done. Great work as usual.
It looks absolutely beautiful great job my friend great job
You are so patient with the tedious work!
In such a stressful situation I'd be swearing up a storm. Instead, you did it with laughter.
Quite a departure. You are so terrific to display the struggle. It was enough to let me know to NEVER attempt something like this. Kinda makes me grateful I own no sentimental wicker. Have a great day!
