Very nicely restored w/o overdoing it. I like the older humpback trunks....4 trunks so far. 1st smaller one was kinda bad shape, wood intact and did a nice stain/sealer on inside. 2nd bigger one, just slight touch up. 3rd one was so intact in and out -close to perfect, I just used Murthy's on outside, only one that has a key. 4th one from 1890's black leather humpback and inside 2 trays and dropleaf in top were completely apart. Restored leather but got it too soft and mold started growing due to where it was stored. Ended up a thin black lacquer coat to stop mold. Latch plate was ripped out of front caused it was locked and no key. Mostly restored just need to finish touches on outside. That was my retirement project. Even though I got old wallpaper, haven't used it, not right trunk yet. Learned alot watching you and Thomas Johnson. Keep up the great videos.

Some videos have irritating music; yours, on the other hand, always have excellent music. I could listen to it all day - you have great taste.

what color stain did you use?

Love your work

I'm so glad things are turning around and I'm excited to see the new garage shop!

Outstanding work... Wish I had the patience for that...

Realy realy a fantastic job, congratulations Trena,and good tips also Thank you 🎉

What is the name of the stripper or the formula that you're using because it seems to work a lot better than what's on the market

Your well come, hope all goes well with the company that tried to bully you.

Nothing seems to phase you for very long. You’re amazing!

@johnsfurniturerepair I think it's great Goudey gave you a gift box!

So glad you are getting it done I learned so much watching your videos stay safe and God Bless you and your family

Wow, the caning is amazing. I can cane, but am a novice. Glad my dining room chairs don't show their seams! I improved as I went along, but I am sure one is gooped up with glue, and the last of the six chairs has no glue and just weaves. But the back of that chair is amazing. I learned from you to file and drill out the holes after the fact, and perhaps the cane size was too wide. I matched what was there, but smaller might have been easier. Thanks for this video! And best to you and the new shop opening this week! Hardware was hard today - always enjoy your videos to calm down. Thanks so much!

@JohnsFurnitureRepair crushed corner....what crushed corner? I don't see a crushed corner...lol. Great job Trena

It looks twice as big as it did in the first video! Thanks for the tour and more importantly the reasons behind the choices. Good ideas for our own shops, or at least mine. Any guidance on managing oily rags from stripping and finishing?

I love your video's. Thank you so much for what you do. 8)

@JohnsFurnitureRepair thanks for the lesson. It's a shame the beautiful back won't be seen. You are very good at disguise...it's your super power...lol. I have a suggestion for the new shop. You should create a hidden room with a bookshelf opening! You could have a bit of quiet time in Trena's treasure room!

Looks like you are set to open tomorrow on the !st! So thrilled for you and so happy things are turning out the way they should. Blessings and thank you for sharing all you do. God bless. Anxious to see what you work on next.............best channel ever!!

Bright blessings on your new shop!

/ Can you recommend one of videos showing how to properly oxalic to remove stains? Hope that's the correct acid.

Amazing! My family has had the larger version of this same cabinet (With the slide-out whiskey tray), but I've never seen another like it. These were indeed made in Eastern Canada. I'm glad I found this video because it looks wonderful and doesn't need refinishing. The player itself has some damage, and now I know how to do what I need to fix it. Thanks so much!

Yay! I can't tell you how excited I was to see a new video!!! Can hardly wait to see you back at work. This garage will do for now, don't let it frustrate you. The new shop will be grand. Love to you and yours.

Quedó tan lindo. Felicitaciones 🎉

Good to know Trena!! Happy to have you back to this amazing job!! Good bless your New shop! For sure you're a winner!! Let's go ahead together, as always!!! Big Hug!!!

Hi Trina. I’ve been drawn to your fantastic videos and can’t get enough of them. I’m just starting in furniture restoration and find your work inspiring. This cabinet is an excellent example of your very fine work. Keep it up. I’ve noticed that your paint stripper is very effective but it looks very watery, mine is very gel-like. Can you tell me what the stripper is please? Thanks. Jim

Simply Amazing!

Trena, we just donated to your Go-Fund Me...we watch you from the USA and so happy that you are on this amazing journey. God Bless you and your family ♥....Richard and Nena Crowne

Is it possible to have Ed’s info please?

Looks fantastic. 😁

It’s nice to see you so excited and happy! Looking forward to your videos!

What a great video. I have just finished renovating a Victorian longcase which was a bit of a mess, but not anywhere near this level of expertise and skill. I am trying to get hold of a decent painted dial and would love to attempt a restoration like yours. A fantastic end result and a very inspiring video.

Congratulations! You have a floor, you can walk around rather than climb over. The sections are organised and in a couple of days the sign can be flipped to OPEN. There may be some tweaking, but it is looking good and will keep you going until the next needed organisation. At least that one won't be a forced and sudden downsizing. I wonder if there be a fight, er discussion, over this space now that it is insulated. Music Room, Teenage Retreat, storage room, garage, or something else. I am so glad you took some "me time" and gave yourself a bit of a holiday as well. It's a very important part of life that often gets shoved to the side. I wish I could have helped more on the Go Fund Me, but you have my prayers, virtual hugs and very grateful thanks. With the quick glance at the work you have on hand, I found myself being most excited to see the work on the smallest 3 pieces, the plant stand and the two small tables. Looking forward to the grand opening of August 2024.

I’m so happy and proud of you for your tenacity in work and life, bless you and your family, from Australia

looking forward to your new videos...God bless you.

So nice to see you using the space you have ❤

I miss my workshop!!!😞

Congratulations ,and it is very kind of the guy for sending you and your family gifts.cant wait for the new adventure we love you

🎉😂🎉😂🎉😂so happy.!

lol you are going to have to take in more work after all is said and done other wise you are going to be one bored lady lol

So glad to see you moving forward Trena.

I'm so happy to see it coming together for ya.

Took me three tries but I was finally able to donate! Not sure what their problem was but it finally went through. Excited to see the new shop and the work you'll be able to do in a "dream" shop! You are an amazing craftsman. Craftswoman? Whatever - you're amazing! :)

The garage It looks like a pretty functional workshop now. It should work well enough until you get your permanent shop built. Congratulations. Step #1 is complete. Now you can breathe a sigh of relief. And it's also great that so many people donated to the GoFundme. That should really did you out of a hole financially.

I cannot define what it is that makes you so special among the ocean of RUclips content creators, but I can recognize that you ARE special. I continue to wish you all the best as you persevere and endure and share your gifts with us. Art such as yours is to be celebrated and enjoyed by all.

I am so pleased to hear that you are doing well now. It broke my heart to see you so upset at the beginning of this journey. I’m glad I could help in a minuscule way and look forward to watching you for many years to come. 👏👏❤

YOU GO, SWEET TRENA!!!

"Se cosecha lo que se siembra". 👍Lo que haces con tanto cariño y dedicación inspira a muchas personas, aún sin tener la especialidad de la carpintería, no es necesario dedicarse a la restauración de muebles para ver y apreciar tus videos que nos regalas, el verte la dedicación que tienes inspira a realizar las cosas como lo haces tú. Lo demuestran los comentarios de muchas personas que no son carpinteros o restauradores de muebles. Sentirse abrumado cuando uno recibe la atención y el cariño de personas que uno no conoce😊, nos hace pensar que lo que hacemos lo estamos haciendo bien y eso nos compromete a seguir mejorando y seguir siendo humilde. Estimada Trena las personas de buen corazón, como lo eres tú, a veces tienen que pasar pruebas muy difíciles pero precisamente porque tienes un gran corazón y ese es tu mejor fortaleza para salir adelante y seguir en el camino de la vida. Saludos y bendiciones para ti y toda tu familia.

Awe, soooo happy for you!!

Ahhhh progress! Almost there Trena and waiting for the new chapter to begin! Still praying for you .
