I’ve been a painter for over 35 yrs, the work you did to that door just to paint over it again was incredible, wonderful to see someone taking there time to do it right, pleasure to see your work again on you tube.

Stopped in to this channel to learn just enough to strip, stain, and finish a door, polish hardware and then watched this one as well to gain some more knowledge on painted doors. Made me realize how deep this craft really is, there is so much to learn. It made my project enjoyable and much better than had I just jumped into it first. Thank you, your work is truly masterful.

Your tenacity to close the panel gapes without replacing the moldings is truly admirable. I'm a trim carpenter and have restored a half dozen old raised panel doors. I've always told the customer that I can't guarantee saving the old moldings. In most cases I replaced with new. Having all the milling equip it's faster for me to replace than coax movement back into the panel like you did. Good show girl,, you have so much more patient than I. Love your work. Your scope of experience and range of skill is breath taking. Your up there with the Thomas Johnson's of the restoration world.

My favorite part is watching you do all the repairs. Sometimes you have to get pretty creative. I like both painted and natural wood. It all depends on the wood and the application. Which ever is more appropriate. It’s all good! Beautiful door! 👍🏼

Love a bit of Trena and her skills.

There is something sublimely joyous about watching a Master at their craft. Thanks Trena, for sharing with us.

The chisel work was great. The paint finish was amazing. But the panels being slid back into place was exquisitely satisfying. Loved it. The Before/After segment was good too

Wonderful job on that door! I'm grateful that you share your work in so much detail. It's a privilege to see the skill and the effort you put into achieving an end result of such quality.

I was wondering when you would be moving back to your Dads studio and you answered my question straight off by announcing this would be your last work in Windsor. All the best for your future endeavors. I think you worked a miracle on that door.

That stripper on the white paint reminds me of a relief map of snowy mountains. The customer wanted the door painted. That's fine. You did and amazing job! I think it turned out fantastic and the customer should be very pleased.

Hey Trena, you took a door that was destined for the dumpster and restored for your customer, you are truly a master craftswomen, an artist. It doesn’t matter how the door was finished, stain , paint, varnish, whatever, it your customer’s door and they are the ones that have to love your work.

Another beautiful save....nice job!!!

Wow! Lovely, lovely, lovely! I truly love old worn and flawed pine doors and cabinetry with the natural marks and wear of age. However, I think that you gave this limping repurposed door more life than it could have had any other way. Wonderful work! Thank you for sharing!

It's a much happier door without all those layers of paint. You have a lot going on, sending you positive vibes. Take care.

I'm thankful for your time and effort to post these videos. You tackle such a wide spectrum of projects with so much know-how. I'm always amazed with your creativity and problem solving skills, and I learn new things as I watch each video. I'm so glad and grateful for your channel. Cheers! 😎👍🏻🥂

Fearless, ingenious and knowledgeable and more! That’s who you are ❤

I have admired beautifully painted front doors for many years. It was such a pleasure to see you restore this antique 10/10 💙💙💙

The amount of effort it takes to restore a piece like this vs just replacing with a new one is what makes this work really stand out. We need more of this in our lifes, not just quick fixes. Even though I work in a completely different field (healthcare), I can relate to the work done here. Thank you for the amazing job!

What an absolutely beautiful transformation!

Why anyone would not want to see the door painted is beyond me. It is beautiful. Thank you for showing your skills Trena. Showing your skills for free. Lovely job.

You had no choice, that door had to be painted. Looks beautiful.

Amazing restoration job I never thought it would come out as nice as this, your father has taught you an amazing skill I bet he is so proud of you.

As always, you did wonderful job on that door. You have the caring touch!

ThanksTrina.Enjoy watching you employ your craft. Thank you from Bill in NovaScotia.👍👍

I continue to be impressed by your skill and attention to detail. I would have replaced that door, but you made it look better than new. Thanks for the video.

You did this beautifully!! The customer will be happy with it!!! Niek.

The dog and cat are buds! That is so sweet! Heck of a struggle on that one! But you always prevail in the end!

Once again I'm totally amazed!

Just Wow😮 It came out great

I was born and raised in Windsor but moved up to Belleville in 99. When you said “Windsor/Essex” my ears perked up. Lol

Looks wonderful! I was gutted when my parents junked the original 1936 door on my childhood home. What a waste. It was gorgeous and the hardware! Ah, to die for.

The finished product turned out remarkably well considering all its shortcomings. Thanks for sharing your brand of thinking outside the box skills.

Best quality restoration and repairs ever! I want to come to her shop to be an apprentice for a week!! 😁

Beautifully done, kudos to your tenacity and skills. Your customers are very, very fortunate.

Just beautiful

You always go above and beyond!An excellent job! X

The door of the human heart can only be opened from inside, you're a treasure in every sense, thanks for letting us look in ! loving the door too !

I cannot believe the work you did on just the bottom of the door… then you said you were painting *jaw dropped* amazing job you are so bad ass

Ya, I think it's nice to see a splash of colour in the shop occasionally 😂. Every time I watch a video, I say God Bless your hands Trenna. Continued success. Patricia, Dublin 🇮🇪

Beautiful! Now I want to strip mine down, LOL Great job!

Thumbs up just for shifting the centre panels! 👍🏻👏🏻

I watch your videos because I love to see how you work, but I also loved seeing your house and shop.

WOW, If had not watched the whole video I would have said you got a new door, but you gave this old door a new lease on life. Trena you do amazing work. I love the colour you painted on the outside of this old door. You are doing fantastic work with all the fine details on those pieces you work on. I am sure the customer was very pleased with how it turned out.

Nice job Trena!

Another beautiful restoration video. 😃😃

Hello Trena. I admire your skills and knowledge. Thank you and greetings from Sweden

Superb job, I could watch and learn all day, thank you so much for sharing

Terrific work. I love to watch you ply your trade.

Nice work, looks outstanding.

Fantastic job!

Angie from Transcend Furniture Gallery sent me. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this project. True craftsmanship! Will love to go back and see what you've already done and looking forward to future projects.

I always hold my breath on the weekend when I open KZfaq and hope to see a new Trena video. I get giddy when I see you at the top of my feed. 😂 🎉🎉

Beautiful and awesome words from everyone. All have expressed my words to you. You are a Master Craftswomen in your field. That door looks great and I love the color. Thanks for sharing.

That teal like color is really appealing. Wonderful work. Great attention to detail.

I can't count the number of times i grimace when I see you doing a repair in your videos that I think is wrong and then have to eat some humble pie when it turns out beautiful. Great work Trena, you inspire me.

You made another amazing transformation! Awesome...

creepy old door sounds ASMR! amazing work, really enjoyed this!

My heart was broken when this was painted but I wasn't about to not watch to the end. The final result is beautiful, as usual, and the color is beautiful. I'm always amazed at the results of your superior repairs. No one else does a better job!

I wasn’t sure I would like the added blocks but it makes sense and the look grew on me. After all the door needs to be functional. I’m very impressed

Good job looks great.

I love that you always put the extra work and talent into doing it the right way Trena! The door is alive again! Great work!!

You are so talented.

Super job, as much as I enjoy the work you do on furniture, this was a nice change of pace.

That's great, thanks for your video, saved the door.

Excellent job Trina!!!

Beautiful!

Great job - beautiful painting technique on top of the ace restoration. Thank you for the detailed steps on closing the gaps with the blocks and clamps.

I was so excited for this video. I need to repair and repaint the back door to my garage. It takes a beating from the elements. It's the original wooden door to my 69 year old home. It's smaller than modern doors and having a new one custom made is more than my repair and maintenance budget can absorb. It has three panels and a window. I'm eager to see how you get this door done. My house was built by a retired farmer and it has lots of quirks too, but it's solidly built and I love it. ❤

Great job.

@25:55 I see that it is break time for the shop employees. I too enjoy working on doors. What a feeling you get after you rejuvenate what someone spent years messing up. Keep up the great work.

You do excellent work

Der sanfte Glanz passt wunderbar, eine Tür mit Charakter - Thanks for sharing

Great job. Thanks again for sharing.

great work sweetie .....that is hard work for even the intelligent and skilled professionals ! great job !

Amazing work!

Wow what a stunning transformation!

Great work Trena. Your attention to detail is second to none. Perhaps you can put a photo up of how the door looks when re-installed in its final place.

Now that was quirky!!! And the door is now beautiful and functional.

Wonderful video. Great work. Thanks so much.

Wow look at this girl.. magnificentTTTT .. some people are blessed with their working skillls..

Nice work Trena. Thank you.

That blue color looks so good with the brass

Stunning!

That's just amazing you have awesome skills God Bless and stay safe

From scrap to a million dollar piece by Trena. 👍👍

Wonderful. That door needed paint and you did it soooo well. I love all the fixing you do to make it a solid piece to last long.

Trena that is maticulas work I do rework here in Texas and sometimes get stuck watching you work on antique furniture is awesome to see in help making work a little more easier and the pride of giving furniture a second life. Thank you!!!

A very clean work with an outstanding result.👍

Very nice!

Absolutely outstanding work!

The painted door looks great!

the cracks were hypnotics ^^ and that work again is incroyable.

Your craftsmanship is superb but let’s not forget that your underscoring and editing is also spectacular! Such a master ❤

Beautiful job! Love it.

Such a talent you have. Beautiful work

Sitting here watching on my own when i saw it finished said out loud " Wow Look At That !". Just thought i'd share that with you. Thanks for entertaining us.

When I was much younger (75 now) I truly wish I had been able to apprentice under your father. I just wound up as an electrician but I always had a love of furniture craftsmanship.

Turned out great. Love the color.

Wow, that was a pretty ratty looking door when you started. It’s bad when you see something and you think hmm, eight prior coats of paint? You did a fantastic job on the repairs ❤. Good to watch the technique and process. Thank you for sharing your skills ❤. Until next time 💕

Utterly Brilliant, an amazing finish.
