You must be proud. It reminds me of a clockmaker I knew, I walked into his house and said, what a fabulous grandfather clock. thank you he said, my grandfather made it.
That's great! Thanks
How incredibly proud you must be and clearly Emily has your passion. Congratulations on keeping the tradition going. So much talent xx
Thank you so much! We are proud of her!
It's so heartwarming to see how parents support their children.
Thanks! Yes, it's a natural instinct. We're glad that we can
Emily needs to start a UA-cam channel of her own! She would instantly inherit your subscribers...well, me for sure.
Me too
Thanks! I agree!
Thanks!
Me too
Me too!
Your lovely daughter seems as impressive as you. Congratulations on such talented, successful family members.
Thank you so much!
It brings a tear to the eye when the tradition of woodworking moves onto the next generation!
That's great! (me too)
Anyone can tell you are a proud father, and with good reason. Congratulations.
Thanks!
Great video Thomas, be sure to tell your daughter from me that those frames look pretty good.
Will do! Thanks!
A proud papa moment. You have taught her well. She clearly shares your passion.
Thank you! We are proud of her!
Congratulations to and for your daughter. I've long said the very best in life is to be exceeded by your children.
The amazing thing is that her hands have exactly the same efficiency and grace and purpose as yours.
Was just offered this by UA-cam after having watched a couple of dozen of your videos to prepare to restore my wife's Viennese heirloom credenza, which was damaged badly in moving. Thanks to you, it's well again, and she can't pick out the repair sites, though I can. Still, "I think it looks pretty good!"
Thanks! That is so nice! I like that. And yes, I think that's why I say "pretty good". All I can see are the places I could have done a bit better. No one else can see them!
I think you've done pretty good Tom ..... she's your greatest masterpiece. It's always so wonderful to see a parents love for their child translate into a confident passionate and happy adulthood. You from your own fathers love and now Emily from yours. Thank you this really made a lot of people smile myself included.
Thank you CL! Yes, we are very proud of her!
It is a very satisfying thing as a parent to feel that you have passed on something worthwhile to your children. Congratulations!
It really is! Thanks!
THAT IS SO SWWEEETT! It's great to see your family continue the tradition of pure craftsmanship!
Thanks! It really is!
What's there not to love? Father, daughter, talent, beauty. I was really touched by this video. I think it looks pretty good ❤
Wow, thank you! I appreciate it so much!
@@johnsonrestoration Thanks to you. Watching you (and hopefully watching more of your daughter too) is a great pleasure. I hope our words of appreciation are a little contribution towards your hard work at making these videos.
You're a good dad, Tom. Beautiful work, Emily.
Thank you!
Great Dad , lovely talented daughter x
Thanks so much!
Omg I almost wanted to cry seeing such a beautiful video. Woodwork is something I always loved but never could pursue. As I perused my career I built a shop in my garage where i made frames for my photographs (photographed for 50 years) for shows and then made long bows, from a single piece of yew. Have done some lathe work making pens bowls etc. now I make knives and my real passion split bamboo fly rods with a speciality case for them. Being 69 and waiting for my new home to be built and having my first basement shop. I’m going to combine my knives with my rods and place them in a presentation case. Which allows me to round out all my crafts in one. The care you put into your work is so satisfying. I watch you tubes where some people restoring things makes me cringe on how they don’t look at detail. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Thanks! I am jealous! I always wanted to make a bow. It sounds like you're really fulfilling your dream. That is great!
We all know whats missing,, " I think it looks pretty good"!
P.s. She needs a Lab!
Better a nosy cat.
She's got the old man's precision eye and creative vision.
She will do well. Excellent taste in music, BTW.
Thanks for sharing.
No, we need "I will let it dry overnight"
Yes, we didn't think of that! Yes, everyone should have a dog!
You're welcome! I appreciate it!
Of course! Thanks!
Tom, I can see that your daughter has your father and your artistic genes and I am sure she and you are proud of your father's talent, too.
She is beautiful!!!!!
Thank you!
Every time I watch one of your presentations I think I have to up my game.
Me too! Thanks!
Just wanted to tell you that I repaired my office chair (wood) which completely fell apart. My wife said "You better buy a new one." I said, no problem. I watch Thomas Johnson's videos all the time and I can do this. I did it. Looks pretty good. Thanks.
That is awesome! What a feeling! Thanks!
Great to see traditions of painstaking care and excellence carried forward into something different...
Yes, thank you!
A proud dad and a talented Emily... and " I think it looks pretty good"!
Thank you! I forgot to say that!
Obviously she’s dedicated to craft and art in general; stunning frames of exceptional quality, and then the filming and presentation of the video was really something! You must be incredibly proud.
Absolutely! Thanks!
You've taught her well, Mr. Johnson!
Thanks! She's done a lot on her own too
@@johnsonrestoration As it should be, but she got the inspiration from you. I love seeing people that have a passion for working with their hands. Have a great day, Mr. Johnson! Looking forward to your next project.
Wow as a former encadreuse in the Netherlands it is such a joy to watch your daughter. Well done to the whole family!🔨🖼📐💯
Thanks! I had to look up "encadreuse" - I love it! All the best to you!
Congratulations Tom, a very well made showcase for your daughter! Nice to see folks following in the family tradition.
Thank you very much!
Talented and gifted young woman (like her Dad) I wish her every success and happiness with her new venture.
Advertisement is the key...
Thank you! And yes, I totally agree. The young people think that they only need to do Instagram - and it does work. Advertising was a lot easier 30 - 40 years ago
This is fantastic. Woodworking and making things is only a hobby of mine but my favorite part of it is when my five year old daughter is helping out. Later today we are gluing up a body blank for a 3 string electric guitar she wants to make with me.
Wow! Yes! I love that. When Em was little she always wanted to go to work with me. So I put her to work! (hence that photo). The whole "father-daughter" thing is amazing
You're a blessed man Mr. Johnson with such a talented daughter :-) You have inspired me so much with your restorations. Thank you for that!
You are very welcome! I appreciate it!
I know from personal experience with my own four kids (now grown up) that you cannot take it for granted that they will share your feelings about any particular line of work. From much more limited experience, I know how good it feels to see an instance of their incorporating into their own work something that they learned from you. You must be enjoying some of that latter feeling, seeing your daughter use her woodworking skills in starting a business of her own. May she prosper.
Thank you! So true! She has made us very happy
Dear Mr. Johnson.
👍👏👌 Congrats! You and your wife definitely brought up a very skilled and very beautiful daughter! Very well done. This calm video/trailer is wonderful, simultaneously informative and kind of meditational/meditative.
Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all of you (including the animals of course).
Thank you! That is so nice! And yes, we are very proud of Emily
There is another thing running in your family: the soothing and calming nature of your personality, your work, and your voice at it echoes in my shop as today made few visitors pause and watch your videos! They asked me whether I learned my skills from you and I replied vehemently “ yes! But it’s no where near to be enough of what’s more to be learnt from him!”
Hi Fater! Thanks! Emily said you reached out to her - she was thrilled to hear about you running my shows in your shop. I want to come to Tehran and see for myself!
@@johnsonrestoration let’s see with a dabb of sanity in the diet of politicians we might see that day coming sooner than expected. I actually put your videos on my students’ study regime! You will be a household name amongst antique furniture aficionados in Tehran with this level of exposure 😁
I love this and I love that you've passed on the same love of woodworking to your daughter and she has found a passion that fits her. Who knows, she may start a shop like dad's. This was very heartwarming, thank you.
You're welcome! I appreciate it!
@@johnsonrestoration I enjoy your work and my only grumble is there isn't more and they aren't a bit longer! I've enjoyed the tips and tricks and I continue to enjoy seeing how some things have been "repaired" in the past. Seeing your daughter carrying on with woodwork in her own way show that the love of working with wood can run in the family.
Beatiful job!!!like father,like son!!!
Yes, thanks! Or like father, like daughter!
It's thruth,I'm sorry!
It’s an ancient tradition made rare by the industrial revolution. Beautiful. Thank you.
You're welcome! So true!
Hi Tom thank you for sharing that, a beautiful moment in my day, bless you stay safe.
You are very welcome! You too
Beautiful craftsmanship and music to work with.Very gifted and attention to detail is absolutely spot on 😎 Fantastic to see family tradition going on.
Thank you very much!
Heck of a thing to keep under the mattress! Lovely and calming as always, thanks Tom! Be proud, I know I'd be.
I finally learned my lesson!
This video warmed my heart, Tom. Your Daughter is a nugget from the Family Stone, indeed. But I want to mention your video "Basement Rescue" from March 13, 2020. I have seen all your videos, but this one, to me, is the pinnacle of your attention to detail, and you recognition of the Spirit of a loved piece. I am a perfectionist, trained by my beloved, late Father... a great Canadian Architect. He taught me from the age of five to be the best Draftsman possible. In time I was hired by Canada's top Architect as Senior Draftsman. Your Emily reminds me of myself, and you remind me of my Dad. I wanted you to know this, Tom. Thank you.... Barry
Thanks Barry! That's very heartwarming to me! We are very proud of Em
Congratulations to Emily and you Tom. I wish her all the success and good luck. I hope she starts her own UA-cam channel as well. It'll be great to see the wisdom you passed and her own creativity combined.
Thanks! I think she should too
You must be very proud of her!!! She is a true artisan.
Yes, in every sense! Thanks!
Best wishes and prayers for your daughter, she has an extremely talented father to show her how to excel... thanks Tom for all your contribution. Respect from Pakistan
Thank you! And hello to Pakistan!
Beautiful. You must be very proud. Congratulations to all and good luck, Emily.
Thanks! I haven't watched any one else's videos for a while, but seeing your comment I'll go check out your channel, see what you've been up to lately
Your daughter has grown up with a very consistent example of self discipline
Thank you! It's true, she is a long distance runner, and that definitely takes a lot of discipline
That was delightful. Thank you for sharing. A skilled and talented craftsperson. I'm sure she will do really well.
Thank you! We are sure of that too - no matter where life takes her
Lovely in every way! Thank you for sharing!!
You are so welcome!
Wow very nice Tom and congrats to Emily!
Thanks!
Congratulations, Tom, to you and Emily. You must be very proud.
Thank you! I am! (Let's not forget her Mom too!)
Nice to see someone doing something useful as a career. I get so twisted when I see people doing things that generate nothing for the world. Congrats Thomas! You have started the next generation off right!
Well said! I feel the same way!
In addition to her craftsmanship, the video was great.
Thanks!
What a talented family!
Thank you! More on that to come!
I really dig that spline cutting jig. Excellent work performed with great care! Also, sweet knife! I'm sure young tommy thought it was quite the weapon
Thanks! Oh, I loved that knife! It disappeared, only to return 40 years later, after my Mom died!
Mr. Tom, I know you must be very proud. Nothing like family traditions that continue to be passed down to the next generations. Skills like yours and now your daughters, are becoming a lost art. Thank you for sharing and the frames do look pretty good. Take care!!
Thanks Glen! You too!
She’s very talented! Great video.
Yes, thank you!
Great to see your daughter has been gifted some of your skills. Beautiful work & great videos from you both.
So easy to watch.
take care & stay safe.
Thank you very much!
Tom you a good father, you taugh her very well. She is very good 👍 Congratulation !
Thank you!
SOO VERY COOL TOM !!!! congratulations to your young lady !!!
Thank you!
Exquisite video, and a very talented daughter you have. You should be quite proud.
Thank you very much! Yes, we are!
Yep! I would be very proud too. Very nice Tom.
Thank you very much!
Thank you for sharing. It is clear that she learned he great organizational and woodworking skills from you. You must be so proud.
We are! Thanks!
That’s awesome, thank you for sharing this part of your family. She is very talented just like her father. I know what it feels like to be proud of a children and see the influence we have had on them. Your daughter has your mannerisms in detail and quality. Her frames are by themselves a work of art.
Thank you so much! Kind words
Hey Tom
Great to see the Family tradition going forward.
Take care
Thank you!
Beautiful and talented, great combination.
Thank you very much!
So touching to know that your family heritage will carry on for generations! bravo and brava!
Thank you so much!
Wow, I love the frame at the rear with the pocket screws to hold everything in place. Beautiful work!
Yes, thanks! Those pocket screws are such a good idea
You must be so proud. Excellent work.
Thanks! We are!
I knew we had something in common....happy to see your daughter follow and lead in her father's footsteps....my two daughters followed in mine as well....the teaching profession. Bless your family Tom and, as always, a big hug for Ella. Be well my friend.
That is awesome! Thanks! I'm sure you are proud as well. Hug delivered!
Enjoyed the video Tom. That was interesting. You have a very talented Daughter. I know you must be very proud of her. Thanks for sharing the video. Y'all take care and God bless.
Thanks Ron! And yes, couldn't be more proud!

Oh, I am! Thanks!

Just a great video and I can see a lot of you in how your daughter moves through a task.
Thank you for posting this one.
You're welcome!
Excellent presentation of Emily's woodworking and design expertise. Very talented indeed!
We agree! Thanks!

Thanks! I appreciate that!
Making Daddy proud.... well done... well done!
Thank you!
Hello Thomas it has been a while since we have had the pleasure of seeing Emily doing woodworking see where she gets her talents from you all take care 😀👍
Thank you very much!
Best wishes to Em in her business. I'm sure her work is like her dad's, flawless!
I think so too! Thanks!
Fantastic. The more women in the field the better - and I echo the sentiments of those encouraging a UA-cam channel!
Thanks! True!
like it! Artwork framed in art-frames. Beautiful work and skills that are handed over generations. Love it!
Thank you very much!
You've got to be proud of her!
Thanks! We are!
The nut doesn’t fall, far from the tree. You did well Tom!
Thanks! I wish I could take credit!
Love the quality of the image. Would be good to see a longer video about frame making and techniques.
Thanks! Yes, we hope to make one
And great to see your daughter carry on the family tradition.
Yes, thank you!
Absolutely beautiful. When I was growing up my little town (population 400) had a man that did custom framing. His name was Mr. Barnes and he did beautiful work. Your daughter’s work reminds me of him. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks! That's cool!
From the east coast to the west coast, that's quite a shift in every sense of the word. I love Portland, Oregon.
Thanks! We do too - in fact the entire state! We've done a bit of exploring since Em moved there
That's very cool, thank you. You have a very talented beautiful daughter.
Thank you very much!
Generations of talent and skill!
Thank you!
That was a beautiful little film, and what a sweet idea to promote Emily’s work through your channel. You must be bursting with pride, and rightfully so 🤗
Thanks! Oh yes!
Very nice. Your daughter does high end work. I think everyone needs to frame in the highest quality beloved art produced by their children in school. I have so many things stored in boxes from art class in primary and even college courses. It always looks great on the walls for years and years. I love my children’s framed art. Maybe your daughter will get orders to frame things like that pulled from attic bins. Best wishes to her out here in the beautiful West.😊
Thank you! What's very popular now is "shadow boxing" objects like my knife. People are pulling all kinds of things from the attic and displaying them
Very nice work and a calming video in not so calm times ,Thanks.
You're welcome!
"A chip off the Ol' Block" Beautiful work!
Truly! Thanks!
...as a Father of an "Emily" of my own, it is fantastic to see her taking a bit of you, ...and make it her very own. Em, show us more? [wonderful music too!]
Thank you! You understand how proud we are!
Beautiful work. You must be so proud.
I am! Thanks!
