IMPOSSIBLE to Repair? - Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration

[suecrossgrove]

I took five semesters of furniture refinishing at our community college but, I learned more from one of your videos than I ever absorbed in my over 300 hours of lessons. I don't have a workshop any more. Furniture refinishing is a hobby of the past. Your videos have given me the old feelings of restoring discarded and worn things to their original glory. And WOW! do I ever envey your tool collection. Thank you so much for the lessons, your gentle old dog, the birds, the chickens, the squirrels and of course, your wonderful work.

I like the way your repairs are so sensible and efficient based on so many aspects that most repairers never consider. Well done!😊

This calm approach to fixing things reminded me of my days working in the hospital ER (MAU) team. Maybe Tom's like a combat furniture medic. Keep it up, Tom.

I have to disagree with you Tom, your restorations don't look pretty good, they look wonderful. Thanks for showing them to us.

I've been watching for a year now and your a master of mellow see a problem fix it. Very in depth KISS method. I love your prequel shots of the barn yard chicken, cats, dogs and wild life. Thank you
Tom

Hi Tom, It is such a pleasure to see you work through your repairs. Thank you for sharing with us ! I’ll continue watching because I learn every time I watch! 😊

I'm an old lady who loves watching you make things better after they have had some issues due to the passage of time, and it's always so interesting to see how you tackle each problem that the pieces present. A very good lesson to repair before you do the fancy final stuff! So clever how you got around the difficulty with this lovely chair. Thank you for showing and explaining about the tools and products you use, that's very helpful too. I have a half used tin of natural colour Briwax I've used on the trestle oak table my older son made as his final shop project in grade 12 about 36 years ago. It's still as solid as it was new, and it's used for everything, not just meals. Only cost us 200 dollars for the oak too. 👍 Good to know I've been treating it right with a scrub and new application of Briwax polish once in a while. It's going to outlive all of us. 😊 Thanks again. I do enjoy learning new things.

I learn something new with every video.

Morning Tom. It's a pleasure to start the day with some common sense problem solving to a beautiful end. Lovely old chair, restored for next generations.

I need to add that you are a true craftsman! Major respect to you!

Lovely Louis XV armchair! Wonderful restoration by you Tom!

Most patient man on Youtube. To go back and do all over again on the Briwax, and just everything you do is so thorough and slow paced, never in a hurry. How you do you work; the shoe shine kit w/brushes, etc. Love your shop and everything about your projects. Thanks a ton for posting these videos.. A guy about your age w/ a little hand tool shop near Detroit. ps: I'm getting some of that yellow tape and Elmer's putty...

Watching the transformation has been a joy. Such a lovely piece of furniture. Thanks for showing us the process.

[annafox]

What beautiful carved roses! They look alive. I like your attitude of doing only what needs to be done with the idea of making it easier for the future repair.

[Texburrito]

Always a treat when a new video comes out. Best to you and your family.

[hawkinseric]

It's great watching a master craftsman do their thing.

[wendee]

You are a real craftsman, I so enjoy watching your videos and listening to your thought process. 👍
