Restoring... Blackbeard's Treasure Chest?

This week Trena restores an old trunk from a horse barn.

I have my grandfather's trunk he took back and forth to college, on a wagon, back in the 1920's. All his college books are still inside. You've inspired me to rejuvenate it.

At first look, I really thought this trunk was beyond saving. But, as always, you worked your magic, and I would be proud to show this in my home. I especially love how you keep the character of the trunk. If only it could talk, the stories it could tell! ❤

Hi Trena! So glad to see and hear you today! That was quite a restoration project! Worked out beautifully. Will be happy to see you in your new shop. I know it must have been a few really tough months with the move and transition. I've missed you! Take care.

So glad you're back! I can't get enough of your videos because you are truly amazing at what you do. If anyone was ever cut out to do this type of work, it's you. Absolutely amazing how this turned out and I love the way you left the "character" of the piece by not restoring with all new parts.

That’s stunning! Now I know what to do with my grandmother’s steamer trunk!

You are so much more professional than many other sites. I'm so glad that you're continuing the work your dad started. You've learned well. BRAVO!!

[pittschapelfarm]

Wow. That was a miracle. Glad to see your work again. Everything you do is very outstanding work and I'm going to miss you once in Canada. But good luck there and I wish you and family all the best.

You had me worried, lamenting your disappearance from YouTube. I had a rather complete wood working shop, but age and shaking hands eventually mede it dangerous for me to continue to use it. At least I got to watch you take on some challenging projects and do an excellent job on them. I was especially impressed with the job you did on that exterior door. I am hoping you will continue from your new location. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!!

[starlight]

Love watching your incredible skills. So many channels that restore furniture but most don't know what they are doing and I get really frustrated if I watch them. That does not happen with you! You show great respect for all pieces you work with.

Lovely to see a video from you, even if it's pre-move, just to let all your fans know that you're still around. I'm really looking forward to content from the new shop, and hope we get to meet your dad.
