This week Trena and Laura from the RU-vid channel "Laura Becker Art" tag-team the repair and re-weave of a very old child's rocking chair. Check out part II here: • Can I put this back to...
What a delightful project and wonderful team work. I hope to see more collaborations with the two of you. Congratulations on giving this little rocker another life for future generations. Must feel pretty darn good.
I am totally gob smacked! What an amazing skill you have I’ve just got to get my chairs to you and I think you’re gonna love seeing them I’ve never seen anything like it before
IDk how things are where guys are at but I am in in the US and I just wanted to say I appreciate how u gals are showing that theres no such thing as a mens job. And no I am not pro women just a man who thinks its nice people standing up for themselves keep doing amazing things
Again your projects and your talent amazes me!! Thank you for sharing your methods and vision of how it was originally built, and restored by today's methods. Ladies like two are given alot of tips for your viewers either my older generation and for generations to come!!! Keep up the beautiful work and keeping antiques back in production, built many years before my generation!!!
Good,to see the lighter side of resto,you two seem to work well and take everything in you're stride,hope you're progressing with the move,stay well and regards🚛🇬🇧🏴
If that little chair could talk, I bet there would be some stories it could tell. I know one thing, they have the right person/ persons working on the project. Thanks for the video, fun to watch.
Trena when I saw the side cutters, I thought oh no. But that was just an immediate reaction.I just knew that you and Laura would bring this back to life. Beautiful job from you both.
I know it sounds silly, but I often wondered if those things could be repaired or did they just have to be thrown out? You have solved that life-long riddle!
your skills and willingness to give it your best always inspires me. So happy that you are going to be abe to spend more time with your dad in the near future too. Keep after it. So impressive.
Love the video and also watching Laura weave the chair. My mothers family were basket weaver’s from Switzerland. They came here in 1858. My mother was born in the basket shop in 1926.
Enjoyed the video Trena & Laura. Wow what a tough project. From seeing both of your work in the past I'm sure you will make it like new again. You both take care and God bless.
Another job beautifully done. I greatly admire that when you take things apart you have no trouble getting them back together.I would mess that up for sure, with a half dozen extra pieces when I was done.
I had a chair just like this when I was about 5 (in the 1950s); it was a hand-me-down from the girl next door who'd outgrown it. I've no idea what happened to it. Maybe I used it for my kids; I don't recall. At any rate, it is no longer around.
I was watching Laura when your video appeared and between the two of you it has made my day brighter. So skillfully talented and fun. Great video. Thank you.👍♥️
My Great Uncle was a wicker worker he made the the Bassinet for my Sister, handed down to my other Sister myself and my Brother, not something I ever aspired to, what I do know is it is a lot more difficult than it looks so well done to Laura and yourself.
Just watched both videos - what a team. Glad to see the colab with Laura again. She is a genius. I commented on her video that I would have been cussing so bad all the way through, that there is no way I would have usable footage. I don't know how she does it. Not to take away from your contribution - she wouldn't have nothing to weave to if you weren't able to shore up the structure. Teamwork makes the dreamwork (as much as I hate that cliche').
Ah yes! The impenetrable archeology of the subject. What philosophy course did we learn that in? I remember, It was that course about thinking while standing on one's hind legs.
I have some wicker pieces in need of repair so I was so happy to see how you all tackled this. I was hoping not to add to the landfill and give the pieces another chance at life. :-)
Looks like it was in a garage for a long time as to the rusty nails and overall condition. But what a beautiful finished child’s chair bet it’s not put in the garage again take care 👍😀😀😀😀
Hi Trena, you and Laura make a great team together you have the best of both worlds, your structural expertise and Laura's knowledge of cane and weaving, I loved the shot where you do the rockers where the sun is shining through bathing the project in natural light a tribute to your video skills, cheers!!🥰💕👍🪑
@John's Furniture Repair the only reason I ask is, as you know being raised in north America, we praised that wood for the worm holes an didn't fill them.
