Restoring Midcentury Modern Teak Objects - Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration

The danish tray is very beautiful and well worth the extra time it took to restore.

There is a wonderful thing about your videos in that you can watch them more than once and enjoy them, even more, the second and third time.

I've been restoring everything from antiques to contemporary furniture for the last 12 years and learned from people like you who have been doing it 30-40+ years and you can always tell who knows what they are doing. I always say you either got it or not in this business. You can do it forever and never be that good but compared to some of the people I see on YouTube and real life I'd say you have the actual raw talent it takes to be great. Hats off sir you are one of the few good ones.

Very nice job. Love the Jens Quistgaard tray.

Stumbled on one of your videos, then binge watched all 128! Fantastic work. I've learned a lot of new tricks. And hats off to your videographer-editor. Can't wait for more.

Dear Mr. Johnson, Just wish to express my respect to the amazing skill and love that you put in to give those fortunate wooden objects a new lease of life. I felt so moved from watching this video, maybe I was once a teak tree in previous life. :--) You are truly an artist and a master!!

[chadlowrance]

Mr. Johnson you really need to start teaching some classes. The way you take small projects such as these and teach restoration techniques that applies to all furniture restoration is a special given talent. Your videos have taken my woodworking and knowledge of the craft to another level. I hope all your viewers respect and appreciate your craft as much as I do. Thank you sir

Once the virus thing is over, I'm heading out to the flea markets and thrift store for some teak to restore. I thought all three turned out really nice. I bought a mid-century mirror at a church sale and restored it for a Christmas gift for my boss. She loves it and it's such a great feeling that something you put your heart into makes it into someone's home and admired. You have such a great job!

All three pieces look great, but the tray is stunning!

"Thanks to a former employee!!!" That one deserves three quotation marks. Tom Johnson, always the understated dry humorist. I love it, sir.

I don’t do wood work myself as it’s not my skill, But gees I learned so much from this video. From matching wood, to getting round the bar on the handle, to tracings. Thank you so much. Your standards are ultra high.

[maryannknox]

Mr Johnson you have amazing talent and extraordinary skills and patience

[misterosc]

The big tray is gorgeous, you did an amazing job!

[jill]

Beautiful Tom. I like the way you say, “former employee”. 😂

[SuperMan-xyui]

Admirable restoration on the Jens Quistgaard tray!! It's always a pleasure to observe your thought processes and restoration work.

[ruthamsbaugh]

I appreciated the wood replacement on the tray, especially. Beautiful, and also clear. Thank you!

[timjackson]

absolutely magic your fill in pieces great job.

[bobkins]

Wonderful job. It makes you kind of wonder how many people passed them trays up at the flea market. And I always eagerly await your next video because repairing furniture is a passion of mine.
Thanks
Brad

It's lovely to see you 'fixing up' small objects - the sort of stuff we can all pick up in charity shops etc. Your videos are all so inspiring, and your skill is brilliant :-)

[carolinejane]

Beautiful. I learned so much watching this. Thank you.
