Agreed...the attention to detail esp. on small repairs is superb. A lot of this is hard earned knowledge with a splash of thinking 'outside the box.' She is a craftsman.

Thanks for another great video. So nice to see this Scandi set returned to glory. And I can’t wait to get a peek of your new shop. I first subscribed because I lusted after your old shop. I forced my husband to watch your old opening sequence, saying “This woman is living my dream!” Truth is, I’m disabled so it is a pipe dream, but I played in that shop vicariously! So I’m expecting big things for the new one - no pressure!

¡Trena! ¡Trena! ¡Trena!🥳😊 Te has dejado extrañar, y apareces con un sorprendente trabajo. Creo que las imágenes dicen más que las palabras, toda la restauración se hizo y quedó donde debería hacerse. Te felicito por tus conocimientos sobre modelos de muebles y sus trascendencias, es muy importante el conocimiento para poder lograr una buena restauración y no cometer el error como se ve en aquellas sillas. Mis felicitaciones a tu señora madre por el hermoso trabajo de tapicería, ahora sé de dónde sacaste el don de combinar colores y texturas, mis respetos y saludos para ella. Bendiciones en tu nuevo proyecto de construir un nuevo taller. Éxitos, saludos y esperando por un nuevo video sobre tus proyectos.

It looks like a new set with character. Great job!

Not usually a fan of changing things, but I winced when I saw that green velour. When you said it was being replaced with a "new choice," I cheered. But then, I hate mid-century modern, so there is that. The new upholstery, on the other hand, looks a lot classier.

A lot of detailed work for Trena and Mom, but what a result! The clean lines and the colour of the teak now revealed make the whole set into furniture to be proud of. Outstanding work!

It never occurred to me that the screws were not original to the chairs. You are the professional, and I am the observer. Your solution to the screws is wise. I have no doubt when all is said and done, this project will be as lovely as any you have done in the past.

I worked for a company here in the UK that produced Teak furniture, this actual range was some 40 years old and was selling so well. Sadly the company has now closed, but you still see secondhand pieces for sale and fair to say Teak is such a great look. Top job bringing the table and chairs back to life.

I love this style too. As a child, I could watch "the Jetsons". It's funny, because these fine legs and the elypse-like seats reminds me of the furniture of this Comic. I loved it.

I wish I could be your intern. What an honor it would be to learn from two generations of artisans/craftsmen. I love the work you do. Also, the new fabric choice is perfect.

I’m sure your customer will see your video and really appreciate the above & beyond effort. I would. 😊 Good luck with the move!

You were certainly right about how that veneer was going to pop with the satin lacquer. What a stunning result. And those pale plugs into the dark teak seemed impossible.. but you matched the plugs to the background beautifully. What a tremendously successful project.

You are professional beyond professional. No detail is too small for your customers or for the furniture. I love watching the way you work and the way you explain what you were doing. Thank you for explaining why you use 180 grit in some situations and 200grot in others. This is something I never quite understood. The way the underneath parts of the furniture are just as important to you as the top is just wonderful. So many amateur professionals, if there is such a thing , do not spend the time on the bottom just on the overall finish that you see. To me this is very irritating Thank you for your professionalism and the wonderful way you finish furniture. Your customers are very lucky to have you. .
