1975 Teak Coffee Table Restoration | Broken Leg, Stains, and More...

I found this midcentury teak coffee table for FREE on the Facebook Marketplace. As soon as I tossed it in the back of my truck, I knew it had potential. Watch how I turn this neglected 1975 Danish teak coffee table back into a stunning treasure.

[@buddhababeoz]

That is one stunning piece of MCM design. YOu captured its purity and elegance. Excellent job! I've never seen a design like that in AU...More so in dining tables.

What a great find! Well done buddy! 🥃

[@aaronrishell1571]

Tip: when you are using a carbide scraper and there are crashing grain patterns you can turn the blade and scrape 45 degrees to the direction of the grain. Just reduce your pressure a little and take your time. Any light scratches will come out with sanding. Also a good card scraper will work well on those areas as well. Nice work on this table. One piece of criticism. Wood epoxy is a great tool in the bag for small screw holes and chipped out substrate but I would recommend you up your game. Get ahold of a flush cut saw, chisels and practice cutting sections like that large missing piece flat and laminating a piece of like wood then shaping it. The resulting repair will be much stronger and last a lot longer. That table looks like teak so using red oak would work if you couldn’t get some scrap teak. For the Odies oil t9 make it less fatigue on your fingers dribble it on with a spoon use a rubber scraper to spread it then with a non abrasive pad use firm circular sanding to work it into the grain. The scraper will spread it evenly and ensure you are not waiting any. The non abrasives will ensure you are not scratching the finished wood.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thank you! Good tip for scraping, I found that going on the angle was good when removing paint too! And I considered chisel and sawing, but I just thought since its all hidden I chose the easy way out lol also good idea for the odies oil! Thanks for watching and the tips - Jamie

[@laraynekayfes5329]

Beautiful!! Worth the money Now!! A little concerned about no mask wiping down oxalic acid after it’s dry. Others on KZbin have suggested that.

[@user-yo9ci8gr4q]

Beautiful job!!

Terrific job!

[@bonitahugo6516]

Beautiful! If you didn’t keep it for yourself I hope you got a great amount of money for it!

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Will let the Odie's cure up for a week and then I will get it on the market! I wonder what I can get?

[@Restomaniac]

Awesome result Jamie, I love it ❤️ The filling on the broken part could have been a bit controversial, but you secured it by making a new bracket. Awesome 😊👌🤗

[@FurnitureFlippa]

@@Restomaniac thanks ismail! I considered chisel and saw, but I don’t have a flush cut saw and I am tired of buying new tools every project 😂 went the easy way since it wasn’t visible lol but thanks for watching!!

[@Restomaniac]

Of course my friend, I understand very well. A very stylish table emerged. It was also a great pleasure to watch. You've done more scrubbing than I could do in a year, you do justice to your youth 😁🤗​@@FurnitureFlippa

Appreciate it!! 🙂

Very nice my friend-very fun to watch!

[@FurnitureFlippa]

@@jackjax532 thank you! Glad you enjoyed :)

[@rudybriskar5267]

I'm disabled and going to start refinishing a few pieces for something to do. I'm limited to using a spare bedroom for my workshop but I have most everything I need except a plunge router. 16:37

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I did a couple pieces in a spare room, just be extra careful with the dust and do not use any harmful products! Odies oil is a great product as the fumes aren't toxic and they can get on your hands.

[@SmileCentral]

Stunning!! Great job! 😊

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks Brian! Have a great day yourself!

[@theboyfactory6]

I just started my first full restoration and I was feeling really intimidated. The coffee table I have is not the exact same, but the same company and same type of construction. I'm hopeful mine is teak as well, but I don't know my wood grains that well yet. Mine had been painted white and the paint is down in the grain and there is water damage. This video motivated me. I hope mine comes out as beautiful as yours.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Check out my aqua desk video, it's painted teak like this, and I strip and scrape it. Don't use citristrip, but you can use a better stripper and follow similar steps! When paint is in the grain you can use stripper and wire brushes to get it out, also mineral spirits and a wire brush too. Good luck!

[@patbolstad3701]

Beautiful ❤

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thank you! :)

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

Really great job.❤️

Looks beautiful. Hard to go wrong with teak. 😅

Very true! I was quite excited to see the marking when I picked this up for free! Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@tequeena]

That was relatively little work for you but it's gorgeous now 😍 nice job 👍

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks tequeena! And compared to the painted pieces it was certainly a bit quicker lol Glad you liked how it turned out 🙂

[@stephenbriskin9]

Great job nice color. That was a lot of work

[@FurnitureFlippa]

It was a decent amount, but a nice break from restoring a tough painted piece lol thanks and thank you for watching!

Gostei de ver você trabalhando nesta mesa de centro. Lixou com muito cuidado obedecendo a montagem da peça. Cuidou dos estragos do tempo e do descuido. Oficina limpa e bem cuidada. Parabéns. Vou ver outros vídeos seus, gostei muito do seu trabalho e que não é cansativo.

[@sheilatodd7280]

Did I understand right that you are 17 in one of your early videos? If this is the case you really are doing well for yourself. At any rate you are doing well for yourself. I do like your knowledge of the pieces you re finish. And you take care to try to keep it as original as possible. Beautifully done!

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I started making videos when I was 21, I am 26 now. But thank you! I have learned a lot from doing various projects. I only recently started doing more restoration work, I hope to learn much more over the years! Thanks for watching

[@lawrente]

Looks great. For next time, when you put in New wooden braces for the legs do it to all 4. Details like that will get you a better price and people won't question your choices.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks!! And good tip!

[@its649inthemorning]

nice restoration

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks!!

[@coreySLC]

Beautiful work. One suggestion, display the finished product in a nicer environment. It deserves it.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thanks! And at the moment I don’t have the space. I am renting a garage workspace about 20 mins from my apartment.

[@rodolfojimenez6988]

Good job, only from now on do not use so much putty, it is better to cut a piece of wood to size, even if that part is not visible, you give more value to your great work👍

[@HELIOCLEMES]

Muito bom 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@mariavilarperis1882]

😍

[@FurnitureFlippa]

🙂

[@Belzediel]

...you can clamp down wood along pieces so you can butt the scraper up against the edge without risking damage.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Clamp down the pieces that I am scraping? I usually do that haha this one I was quickly scraping, then sanding, just to begin the oxalic acid treatment on bare wood. Then I just sanded everything after anyways.

[@Belzediel]

@@FurnitureFlippa No, if you wish to scrape along the grain when you have two pieces at different angles, you can clamp a second piece of wood over the other so your scraper cannot go onto the wrong bit. You can either pop your scraper along the edge of the clamped piece knowing your blade is on the joint line, or butt the blade up against the wood to pull away from it, knowing, again, your blade isn't on the wrong bit. Bit like masking but for big sharp things instead of paint.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

@@Belzediel oh i get you now! Thats a sweet idea, thanks for the tip!

[@hdwoodshop]

What’s the difference between what you used and bondo?

[@jamesbondo5895]

Everything you did was done pretty professionally so i was surprised to see that epoxy repair for the aprons. Thats no good, but well done otherwise

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Much faster and you can't even see it. So why not haha

[@singhjobim9719]

I think 1st dibs and chairish have ridiculous prices.

[@jimtongas821]

Don't you love crappy repair jobs that people do & that you have to deal with. Why would you put wood putty on top of the screws. No one is going to see the screw heads under the table. Great restoration and appreciate your editing skills. Coffee table? Looks like you could seat eight people as a table. 😁👍
