"Just make my own inlay" just like Bravo

Pop used to say that every day you learn something new is a good day. Thank you Sir.

I don't think I can convey the immense admiration and gratitude I have for Mr. Johnson and his work. I have learned so much from watching his videos, gained an understanding of restoration work, and honed my own skills so much... It is a priceless gift to me.

This repair is a clear example of true craftmanship. Unbelievable.

When Mr Johnson uploads a video you know its going to be awesome so its the right time to get a coffee/tea and prepare to be amazed and educated

[TomasRosberg]

What I love about your videos isn't just that they're entertaining, but also informative and educational. I always learn a lot from your methods, techniques and commentary. I make furniture for a living and have applied so many of your ideas in my shop. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. That veneer patch on the lighter wood was great, looks like its original to the piece... All the best from Portugal

Truly masterfully done. I've never seen better and I'm old.

When you come down in the morning with your coffee, still anticipating the results of yesterday's work, I click on your video with my coffee in hand - anticipating it with you. When times get tough, and families have to pull together to survive - somewhat like the times we are now in - antiques, skills, spare parts saving, and good tools take on a reverence because furniture built of solid hardwoods reflects what a family should aspire to - and that is to sit for generations around the same table. The best homage a tree can get.

What a beautiful job Thomas. I did some research, after watching, because I thought I had heard of a Master Woodworker in Rome that I thought you could be related to. Sure enough, after hours of research I came across the man. His name was Clampius Maximus. He resembles you uncannily 🗜😅🤣😂 !! Thank you for the wonderful video and may you, your wife, and family have a wonderful and joyous Christmas. John here, photographing the beauty of the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee, y'all.

Excellent video, Tom! My wife walked past at about the 5:30 point and asked me how many clamps you have. Simple answer...never enough.

Thomas: I do remember this video from before and so enjoyed seeing it again. Magnificent! Fabulous! And Master Craft Work. The restoration turned out perfect. Carol from California

Excellent repair on a beautiful example of a period table. Just a joy to watch. Thank you.

I RECALL THIS VIDEO, TOM. A PLEASURE THEN AND A PLEASURE NOW. YOUR SKILL IS MESMERIZING, THAT'S WHY I SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL MANY MOONS AGO. HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY!!!

[debmuel]

If only I had a woodworker or cabinet maker on my Christmas list. Clamps. I’ve learned that you can never have too many clamps.

Nice repair. When you said I will just make some inlay. My thoughts were, right, sure. But then you did it. I have never seen inlay put together. Fascinating for sure. Your work is truly amazing. Thanks

[ronaldcumpsty]

Your videos are always interesting but I especiaĺly like the shout out to your Dad, as our Dads are often not appreciated enough when we are able to tell them

[elizabethwentz]

Just amazing!! You are the best in furniture restoration. I hope you have apprenticeships to pass along your vast knowledge and expertise.
A fantastic job!🥰

When a craftsman/restorer finishes a piece. They rarely think it looks great. Mr. Johnson says I think it looks pretty good. No sir, it looks extremely good! Beautiful resto.

You have a new fan. I've retired recently from a lifetime of restoration of homes, log cabins, log barns, and a host of many old items such as wooden boats, 1928 boat tail racer along with building period style homes. I have done some repair of furniture and built some furniture. Now with a smaller shop I'd like to do more furniture restoration. Thanks for your website.
