well if your a luthier why are you useing furniture skills?? why not use luthier skills instead?? i mean epoxy putty

Why.didn',t.you.do something underneath?

Wow, it looks so good. Nice work. Love your channel

Wow they look amazing! I'm so glad you restored the cane. The overall look is striking but still homey when combined with the black vinyl.

Nice work. Can you please consider doing a video on turning a dresser or desk with drawers into a coffee table? But please as simple of a conversion as possible. I actually thought about buying a simple smaller desk with drawers (drawer/s all being same level with each other), then simply cutting the long legs to shorten them enough like a coffee table. And then just sand the bottoms of legs and slap on some nice colour paint. What do you think? I'm open to thoughts and suggestions from others too. Thank you. ✌️😀

What is the tool you used when leveling the finish sticks @20:22

This video was the first time I ever heard of wood toner and I’ve been a weekend woodworker for almost 2 years now… WOW what a difference. Just goes to show how much there is to learn out there! Thank you for sharing!

What grade sandpaper did you use first?

Super nice. I have an old, small bar table to restore, with a cigarette burn on it. I want to hide the burn, yet I want to see the wood grain. An if possible use products I already have at home. This will be perfect. Also, it was great to have an explanation about the different finish possible beside laquer; I have oil miniwax satin finish that should be strong enough for a home bar table. Thanks for those info.

nice

Wow! 🤩 Very Danish or Scandinavian looking. IMO. I love it!

we shan't call FILTHY to something we can or will admire for it's natural beauty when it's cleaned or repaired . You should have said dirty, dusty, greasy, grimy, messy, muddy, murky, stained, filthy is a very derogatory word, and I assume you are Christian , then this is a big NO NO. Get it boy.

Thank you sir for showing how to do this with gel stain! The other videos I looked up for Acclaim refinishing used sprayers, which I definitely don't have! I'm now confident I can handle my guitar pick refinishing!

Simply gorgeous👏👏❤👌

Appreciate the explanation as I need to recover a couple chairs. I think they are a great find. When I remove seats I label them/the chairs as it is easier to remover/replace onto the same chair.

Beautiful just the way it is!

Amazing restoration. Thanks for sharing

I've come across a ton of Acclaim side and coffee tables lately. I haven't purchased any because of the ridiculous prices ppl are asking bc they don't know Chairish prices are not real, lol. It's infuriating, really, bc on every one I've come across, they've all been destroyed by people who do not know what they're doing. Mostly burning thru the veneer with an orbital sander and a very poor job staining them all sorts of colors. I'd rather they go back to chalk paint than to keep ruining MCM pieces. I cannot wait until the trend is over. I can't be the only one, either.

one fun trick with the water based polycrylic is that you can mix it in with latex or other water based paints, and it will basically turn them into hard enamel paints without the need for a top coat. I accidentially bought latex instead of enamel for my cabinets and then just tried this combo out of curiosity (I did about a 5:1 mix paint to poly) and it wears like IRON. It even sprays really well, as well as rolls/brushes four years later and the only issues I've run into are where my prep was weak. The paint itself takes knocks and hits like a tank.

totally uneducated idea so feel free to disregard, but if I had that table, my thought would be to remove the top finish with a scrub plane, as well as then maybe trying the job you did with the belt sander with it as well. You'd maybe get some more material removed, but with the nice fine control of the plane, remove any warping as well, and then with a couple winding sticks and a jack or smoothing plane, square it all up (it's how I did the huge stacked 2x4 top to my bench, it had both the ability to hog crap off and then pretty finely do the job without any risk of tearout or gouging. - and my scrub is made from a $20 amazon stanley that I filed the mouth wider and bench-grinder'd the blade camber) Since it's solid wood, just going a couple millimeters down wouldn't really affect the way it looked at all and would likely reveal the fresh consistent wood sans blotchiness. Plus scrub planes work FAST and consistently, vs belt sanders propensity to dig in more here and there. But again, totally uneducated idea. I know enough about my actual field of expertise to know what I don't. I just find myself using my cheap piece of crap scrub plane to do a LOT of things that require both fine and aggressive work, then just smoothing off the curved slices with a smoothing or jointing plane. I even made a scrub plane out of a cheap little block plane and am constantly finding little uses for it! As always, been a massive fan since day 1. Keep teaching me things and pissing off guitar snobs!

A beautiful piece. You did good

Hi, I am impressed about your estetic skills! Thank you for the generosity to share. I am a beginner and I beg you answer about one of my biggest dilemma. How can one “scrap” or “sand” complicated profiles or shapes like flowers or other ornaments without smoothing and compromising their shape? Thanks and good luck with your awesome videos and works!

Fantastic!

Love all of your work. And your channel.

Wow it looks beautiful.

Which lacquer did you use,please?

I like Smart Strip, but yowzers-it's expensive!

Very nice.

It’s a beautiful piece!

Does anyone know a good place to purchase the Behlen Master Toner Colorant @2:48 edit: i've been searching for a few weeks and every single website it out of stock. i am starting to think Behlen stopped manufacturing this product. Gonna have to switch to Mohawk

Nice.

When i get a little ADHD panicky, I listen to your voice and Mike Rowe for a bit of normalcy. You have a soothing voice as you go about your work - explaining is nice.

I bet you wish, there was just 4 chairs now! Did you keep all the nails and staples? 😂

“And…that worked pretty well.”

😆😆😆

Beautiful!

4:41. An old old school “French curve”

I love this channel for the fact that most KZbin furniture channels are using CNC tables, Festool everything, and giant brightly lit shops, but Dashner is working in his messy garage with a jigsaw thats about as old as I am. Thanks for keeping it real, Dashner.

Restore great furniture back to near original condition not make it something else

wood is gorgeous great job

It looks amazing.

I am equally impressed with your guitar skills and the cabinet. Both are great.

Hmm. Can you apply gel stain over light spots on a floor that has already been finished? Because i over-lightened some ugly pet stains after a tenant moved out...

Ugliest finish ever!

Very nice!

The lack of color leaves me cold. Real wood with grain is much better.

This was quite an audacious move from you to cut of the 'frilly bits' ha ha! I like the result and its fresh provincial touch.

Im not sure if you are aware of how amazing just your delivery is in these videos. you have created a style and it is wonderful

Beautiful job, as usual! I love the detail on the feet.

Is this a side job for you, or do you do it for a living?
