Despite watching every video you produce I am always astonished at the incredible results you achieve. Always such a pleasure to watch and such a great learning tool as well. Thank you.

Another outstanding restoration Tom. You really are the best of the best. Thankyou so much for sharing your knowledge with us.

Work like this demands much invested patience, and it seems like Thomas has got what it takes and beyond.
I really like your work, and am at peace watching it. Thank you.

Nice one, Tom! Beautiful work. Always a pleasure to watch your work

Love how the panel says "special 3/8 ply do not cut" as you cut right through it. LOL. Thanks for the videos, always informative and entertaining. Ella is looking so old...

Always enjoy the craftsmanship Tom brings.

As I opened my iPad this morning I was hoping you had posted a new video. What a delight to watch the repair! Thanks for all you do to share your knowledge and approach to solidly repair the chair.

Your attention to detail is fantastic. Up very close you can see the repair but from any distance at all the chair looks like it never had a problem. Very well done.

[audiophile]

The repair looks much better than just pretty good. Your skills are amazing and fun to watch. Educational too..

[johnhergt]

I find your repairs relaxing to watch as each step is meticulously done.

Another great restoration/repair. I love the logic behind the spline, a lot of work but the results and protection are well worth the effort. and again great video work. the close up shots are priceless in my mind. we get to see each and every stroke in great detail, and learn many things from those alone thank you so much for sharing and for the great videography. both are beyond great!.

You never cease to amaze. I've tried fixing some oak chairs of my own, but I keep seeing techniques that would give me much better results. I may be repeating my fixes.

A true craftsman's "okay" restoration! Beautiful work, as always!!

[bethcrane]

Well that was a mess and how beautifully you've cleaned it up and blended the edges together for the next generation. Hey Tom, I'd love to see you and Trina collaborate on a tricky repair sometime. Take care and thanks for taking us along on this journey.

[larrymoons]

Amazing!! We sit and watch and wonder “What the heck is he doing?”, casting doubt!! Yet knowing that we are watching The Master at work!! None better!!

Thanks again for your videos!!

[MarcvanExel]

That was another fantastic repair, looks like that will not come apart easily,

[michaelmoss]

I don't always watch Thoman Johnson's videos....but, when I do, I'm always captivated and entertained (and educated!).

[robertbamford]

Amazing result … as usual. Interesting you apply tenon sizing rules to the spline. How deep did you go for the mortise?

Mr. Johnson, your skill and patience and loving care are an example to all who strive for perfection. Thank you very much indeed.
