The fact that he brought it back to you to get it added on to speak loudly of the Quality of your work. And that finish, with the memory of your dad doing it, brought tears to my eyes. I hope the customer watches this video and the one on the original work so they can appreciate what it took to fix up their table. And you really should be doing museum piece restoration. You have encyclopedias' worth of knowledge in your head.

Older pieces of furniture have character and the imperfections I think make it a family heirloom.

Excellent craftsmanship.

You never cease to amaze me. Absolutely incredible. Thanks for the video.

“Snot in a bottle”😮😂🤣 Beautiful job

Perfect color matching.

" If you are more fortunate than others, it is better to build a longer table than a taller fence." absolutely beautiful ! may i also mention the table looks perfect also 🙌

It's understandable about old tables being not lined up, nowadays i think most big places have storyboards laid out with the holes lining up from table to table

I bet you could restore a table from just one leg. Nicely done.

That shine was so buttery looking I was dying to touch it! If only.... 😍

Repeat work is the best recommendation! Another good job. Pure meditation!

Hi Trena! Great video!

That was another great video. You are an expert so there is something I think not again. A big praise to you. Greetings from Germany

Oddities in the table leaves make it more of a heirloom the little "mistakes" make it one of a kind and imperfect is............Perfect.

You gave the table a new leaf on life ;)

Can't top Sherryl C's comments. Must add that I've never seen THAT hand rubbed technique before. Looks GREAT! Thanks for sharing this.

I don't believe I have ever seen a table leaf fit perfectly. Beautiful job

I never realized it was an option to make a leaf. What a fabulous job! Can tell it is butter smooth!!!

. Excellent addition; someone paid attention to Dad's mentoring. Nice finish method as well.

What can one say? Simply stunning craftsmanship - all your projects are works of art. Thanks for sharing these peeks into the amazing world of your woodworking.

And the sky is grey

Years ago, when I did repairs in the home, I always carried a few leaf alignment pins in my toolbox. When a customer impressed me with a fix of their own or a new way of doing something, I would award them "The highly coveted, yet rarely awarded Wooden Bullet Award" and gave them one of the pins! I always thought that sharing a laugh with a customer was a great way to have them remember you. Oh, and when I had to match a profile, I used an old card scraper held up to the profile I had to match, then cut, filed and sharpened the shape. I cut away most of the wood with a chisel, just as you did, then finished it off with my new scraper.

Great job Trena! You're hand crafting abilities are outstanding and your refinishing skills are superb!

WOW, great job

Just today I was at an exhibit about wood, its importance in the technological human evolution, the innumerable uses and applications how the resource is in danger now... one of the parts had lots of different types of wood, classified by continent, you could touch them, smell them... I've got to see craftmanship with wood and other parts of trees from thousands years ago and very modern ones. It made me think a lot and today watching this video I have more present than ever the relevance of conservation of materials, techniques... It was an amazing job on a beautiful table that can last for years and years

Perfect job.

Fantastic, as always.

To be an apprentice in your shop would be such an opportunity. Your attention to detail is an attribute that most have forgotten. I learn so much with every new video. Cheers PS I am a little behind. Lol

Beautiful beautiful work. And I wanna see the rocking horse job! Thanks Trena for bringing us along.

I'm a luthier and from time to time I have to do custom shapes such as replacing finger boards. My method of copying shapes is to use a card scraper from lee valley, not the thin ones. I trace the shapes onto the card scraper and using a dremiel tool, cut out the shape I want. I then put an angle on one side (very carefully) and add a burr. Using chisels, I bring it down to size, using the scraper as a template and the end job is to use the scraper as a scraper to finish the final shape. Hope you can understand my explanation. As a former Windsor resident keep up the good work. (I hope you have air conditioning in your shop).

You are an absolute artist. Such patience and attention to detail seem to be attributes not so commonly found anymore. I have learned so much from watching your videos. I know you'll keep up the good work and let us watch more of your amazing talent.

Another great job. I don't think some people who have never done any work like this appreciate the skill/time involved to achieve the finished result.

You may already this from your Dad, but you can use a piece of popular board and make it look exactly like American Walnut when finishing it that dark Ole Time Cabinetmaker taught me when I was his extra hand years ago. I enjoyed your video and subscribed to your channel.

I wanted a make joke about switching dowel holes.. but I finished the video. And bought you a coffee for your monday morning. Skills like this are long lost, passion in your work is still here but even harder to find. Please inspire! Its truly a pain in the arse to make this videos, the coffee is the least I could do.
