[@dawnsparks7051]

I’ve been watching for years. Great to put a face with the voice. Love your channel.

[@theroundman]

Dude. This new style video is fantastic. You are the reason I started searching for, and refinishing/rescuing MCM furniture. I learn something new every video you make. Keep doing what you're doing. Your content is stellar. I appreciate you.

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank You.

[@moldingpro7208]

Love your new video format. Feels more like interacting with you!

[@Vikingwerk]

Your willingness to freeze your ass off to bring us a new refinish/restoration video is an inspiration to us all!

[@AiMR]

Nice to see the face that matches the voice👍

[@zzzzzzz7zzzzzzz7]

New intro format? We love!

[@brianmiddleswarth3267]

I grew up with that table! Still have the scar on my head when I fell down as a kid and hit the edge.

[@queenbee3647]

See my comment!

[@blujeans9462]

Your videos are so much more personal with a face behind the voice. Thanks!!

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thanks, that’s good to hear.

[@susanheston4483]

The table is beautiful and it looks so much better with the new veneer Sometimes the face doesn't fit the voice. Yours does. Nice to see you again.

[@MrChristopherMolloy]

Wow! Two vids in a row! Really no longer camera shy! Lol Great video as always ✌️

[@elizabethfaraone]

The woman of Transcend Furniture is excellent at getting woods to match.

[@johnellis3244]

OMG his accent is amazing, generally the American accent is pretty run of the mill but this guy's accent is hypnotic!

[@emmiemmi]

So nice to see your face!!

[@pat_an466]

That looked so much nicer when you'd finished it (well, obviously!). I agree that the figuring on the top was worth having a closer look at than you could get outside. Whilst never seeing your entire face was always an interesting mystery, I'm enjoying actually seeing you now!

[@Barbie4U2]

Seeing your face on the regular now is so wild!! It makes you do a double-take! Lol Looking forward to all your future projects, what a trip!

[@salman.tanvir]

Glad to see you in person, amazing video as always 🙂

[@lynnlamastres3424]

I love your work and the calm strength of your voice. It is a firm reassurance in the sea of raised voices and hyper activity on KZbin. After watching you, I feel like maybe we Aren't going to hell in a handbasket. Thank you.

[@bluecurlygirl]

Always a joy to watch Dash. Love this little table and the pattern on the veneer is beautiful. It's so weird seeing you at the beginning! Weird good though. My head was full of other thoughts and when I clicked on the video I had totally forgot about your full appearance in the last video. Thanks for calming my thoughts down, yet again. For someone with severe anxiety whose head is always racing, you really do wonders. Thank you so much.

[@jeanarock6233]

I’ve seen these coffee tables with the plastic veneer and thought the only thing you could do with them is paint. I never thought of adding wood veneer. It looks amazing!

[@archaicruinx]

Another great video! I think it's cool that you are now narrating to the camera, versus just doing it through the microphone.

[@MrPhotodoc]

The description of the wood frame as "kinda nice" is understated as usual, and a trademark of this series.

[@adamfitch965]

Another beautiful restoration! It’s nice to be able to finally put a face to the voice too, thanks for coming around to the front of the camera. It just adds another dimension to the videos.

[@DieselWeazel]

I’ve always enjoyed your channel

[@bettenotap4791]

I’ve always liked this style, especially in smaller spaces, they give a light, airy and clean appearance. Beautiful job!

[@kikiscomment]

Looks great! I recently used a $40 piece of peel and stick walnut veneer to do the same thing over laminate topped mid century nightstands. I was impressed with just how easy it was to work with! Definitely has me rethinking the way I’ve handled pieces with laminate tops in the past.

[@jimheiniger4595]

It would be cool if you have a general breakdown of expenses during your refinishing. Especially the veneer.

[@nowvoyagerNE]

and an estimate of the total actual time it took him to complete a project.

[@Poppinwheeeeellllllieeeeez]

57 usd

[@Poppinwheeeeellllllieeeeez]

@@nowvoyagerNE 5 hours

[@DD-DD-DD]

95% of the tools and materials he's using are things he has in stock already because he's a committed furniture restorer. So the table and the veneer are the only things he could price for you, and you can get prices on those things yourself, locally. I'd rather he spend the time restoring more furniture than editing costs into his videos.

[@paulag1109]

Beautiful veneer. I also like that you always show your finish product outside…this is the Dashner way. ❤

[@justkiddin84]

Wow, back when I was a kid in the sixties and seventies, these tables were everywhere. I never liked that top part but didn’t realize it was plastic. Much better the way you did it!👍🏾✌🏻

[@CALB2009]

I really like this kind restoration "upgrade". By putting the walnut veneer on this piece, you made it more attractive than it ever has been in its life! Love the color work, it turned out beautiful! I live in Des Moines, IA just 3 hrs from Minneapolis, so I can totally relate to the "temperature challenges" you face when refinishing pieces in the winter! Great work!

[@lesliejohnson7247]

Who woulda known this piece could actually look sweet! I’ve probably seen hundreds of these coffee tables since I’m a child of the 50’s. They’ve always been an automatic toss. Thanks!

[@raze94]

I don’t think I’ve finished any of your videos. I always fall asleep half way through. Not that the content isn’t good it’s cause your voice is so calming.

[@chrisdavis1722]

This turned out great! I like that you unified the color on all the separate parts, and the veneer has a beautiful pattern. Thanks for all the content 👍

[@joannemurnaghan8921]

You are awesome this is the frist time I saw your face

[@mustangjock1373]

Always a good day when you post a new video. We are in the middle of bad ice/sleet/freezing rainstorm. One more day before thaw and more typical Texas weather. Enjoyed seeing you cope with the conditions there.

[@stevestogsdill5791]

Ditto from another iced-in Texan

[@lizday8140]

Same here! Dashner has months of what we have for two days.

[@ashleykarchevsky4144]

I have the EXACT same table, and have considered adding veneer over the laminate. Now I have the perfect step-by-step instructions! Been following your channel for awhile and have gained tons of skills from watching. Thank you!

[@dianeleirer9878]

The new wood veneer ‘glows’ in that flattering light. Beautiful!

[@leorising8074]

Love this! It's nice seeing your face

[@sheljustdoes]

Super cool that we see a face to the awesome voice. Great work on this one!

[@steelcrown7130]

The table has asked me to pass on a thank you from the bottom of its heartwood. It feels properly loved for the first time in its life.

[@kathrynschamanski3766]

Great change to the ugly veneer that was originally there. I have a treadle sewing machine that needs the top of the "lid" redone. A previous owner replaced it with wall paneling from the 1970's! Thanks for my tutorial on using stick on veneer. That sounds like the easiest way to replace the mess with new veneer...Thanks for the tips. I always look forward to your videos!

[@ThrifterPicker]

The table looks great and it’s good to see you again

[@loiswood3363]

That peel and stick veneer looks great! The grain lines on it are 'eye candy'. I love how the table turned out, thanks for the tutorial!

[@susanwehe8270]

Love seeing your face, it really personalizes the videos

[@carmencampbell6994]

It just goes to show... DON'T pass up laminate if you like the piece in general. You can always make it beautiful! Thank you for this video! Looks lovely.

[@martinebangs6520]

We used to have one of these in the 60's, it endured a lot with 6 kids in the house....beautiful job, thanks for sharing...Take care...

[@elizabethguerra3132]

Beautiful table sir. Nice seeing you in person by the way you have beautiful eyes 👀 have a good day stay warm.

[@CeeCee137]

Wow! It turned out beautifully! The MN weather has been rough lately, but hopefully warmer days headed our way :)

[@beverleyshaver864]

The veneer is very pretty. It made such a difference in the table. I don’t think I would have thought to try the veneer over this type of top. It opens up a whole new realm of possibilities. Thanks so much

[@doddnejadfard3251]

The veneer was what it needed to elevate the whole piece,,,beautiful work

[@barbaraives4962]

It's always satisfying to watch expertise in action, especially when paired with such a calm, quiet way of explaining the process. Excellent video.

[@lizaleaves]

Genuinely enjoying seeing your face! It’s so nice to see the baby blues that go with that radio voice! Thank you for sharing this beautiful table too, I guess. 😏

[@ninoskae]

I’m still in shock when I “see”you 😊! You are a master!

[@respther2003]

Relax, smile…you’re doing great! I’ve been watching and enjoying your videos for a while and have learned a lot. Keep up the good work!❤️

[@slbarbieri1725]

Great job!

[@gbrickcommercialre]

It looks so elegant after the refinish! You did a fantastic job. I've always disliked those plastic tops, makes the piece look cheap but you've shown that they have real potential. I won't be so quick to pass those up when I'm thrifting, since now I know they can be saved and look really good without a huge expense.

[@michellepetersen5121]

Turned out great! Makes me miss my days in Minneapolis in my garage refinishing furniture💚

[@elizabethreid5554]

Look, someone has to say it: this man was written for the female gaze. The attention to detail, the slow, thoughtful movements. And that face? Whew!

[@cynthiawilson8294]

I like the clean simple lines combined with the richness of the veneer in this piece

[@kimzimmerman2492]

This is so pretty! I have often wondered why there isn’t more refinishes that put veneer over laminate for some pieces, seems it would make it much more desirable as a piece of furniture. Growing up in the 70’s laminate was hard to get a way from but I never cared for it. Thank you for showing you can put veneer over laminate and that it can look fabulous!

[@karenharris2880]

I've always loved your down-to-earth style. Your appearance is very much how I imagined. You kind of have that young Richard Dreyfuss likeability! I wish you didn't have to battle that cold. I'm from the Midwest but have been in CA a long time and I just say "brrrrr" when I watch this. Keep up the good work!

[@caroltanzi29]

Great job even though you are dealing with your cold weather.The cocktail table looks so much better with a veneer top. Very, very mid-century modern. Carol from California

[@dianneroney1572]

Table looks so much nicer now thanks for sharing 👏🇦🇺

[@BP-rh8tl]

I usually watch your videos late at night to help me fall asleep and because I like your content, adding your voice in video and now your introduction with your face talking on video it's a bit more exciting and I enjoy watching and listening while I'm wide awake lol bad explaination but good work man youre doing great.

[@toddylu6869]

I too am enjoying your face on these videos. It makes them more personal. I always learn something new...and it empresses my husband...LOL

[@stevesmith6554]

I enjoy your true very experienced DIY videos. It was a good idea to add the face shot as an added touch to who you are !! Thanks again

[@gydaanderson332]

I have always enjoyed your videos but I’m loving seeing your face on the screen. It seems so much more personal. Thanks for all you do!

[@kgal63]

Beautiful. I always enjoy your attention to detail. It pays off every time.

[@luisvelasco316]

Turned out great! Growing up in the 60s, my parents had an identical table along with two end tables which were two-tiered for lamps on the upper tier. The end tables eventually ended up as bedside tables for my siblings and me, so it was probably a good thing the tops were laminate! I think the legs might have had brass ferrules at the ends, though I may be confusing them with the Naugahyde disk chairs that were part of the suite.

[@lauralake7430]

We had a coffee table like this as a kid that was known as the “ pizza table” , ie the table we were allowed to eat pizza on in front of the TV! Wish it were still around, but it went with some cousin or another to their first home.

[@jaymzx0]

It looks great. The dye really made the walnut top sing!

[@LewHarriman]

Right you are.. the indoor light shows the improvement, but in late January in Minnesota, the outdoor light... not so much. And wow... pretty impressive PSA on the veneer, to adhere in such cold weather. As is so often the case, your techniques defy conventional wisdom, but work out juuuuust fine. Inspiration for us all.

[@luannsims2159]

Love your work almost everything you redo is natural wood look I know sometimes people have to paint furniture when it’s way to far damaged but I just love the natural wood look you do

[@colorfullyme]

I like both formats :) The voice-only videos were extremely relaxing, and this video feels more interactive. A mix of both would be nice

[@Nakpanduri100]

I came to this video to watch the veneer application and found the entire project enjoyable to watch. Very informative, not too chatty, and no annoying music track! Thanks

[@leewood729]

Lovely work - I'm sitting here in very rainy New Zealand, almost 80 degrees outside, muggy and hot, enjoying looking at your snow! And of course, the table. :)

[@judylamb8325]

Beautiful table! Enjoy seeing you work. Can't imagine you work in freezing weather.

[@linebrisebois6908]

Another good job! I like your new videos, you’re very natural. Was a good decision to finally show yourself! 🙂

[@rhiannadelerres7500]

As always beautiful

[@lesbeery2478]

I’m shivering thinking of working outdoors in our latest polar vortex.

[@Pinkstinkie]

So glad you've decided to stay with us. You'll have all the girls swooning-- over your beautiful restored furniture.

[@marthamiller6894]

Wow...gorgeous

[@7adethelrou75]

I always admire your work and your calm voice , and now I have to add you very handsome man .

[@medomai]

I really love your videos! I'm still a little surprised every time I see your face after so many videos without, but it's a good surprise, of course. Hope that you've been well! The growth and development of the channel has been so wonderful and I wish you every success.

[@Alwaysziv]

"I'm not sure if this is going to work but I'm going to give it a shot." ~Dashner My refinishing projects summed up in a single sentence.

[@soanonso]

I've always loved your videos, but I think they're even better with you in front of the camera talking about your process.

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you.

[@peztopher7297]

I noticed all along that that veneer was gorgeous. 🤩

[@barbaracatalano6299]

Beautiful work as always!!

[@cassroberts6116]

Good to see your face! Enjoy your show….for years!

[@shannonschwab3754]

Gorgeous piece.

[@hollysgarage]

Your videos are so calming and nice to watch. It’s nice to put a face to the voice 😊 it turned out great dashner!

[@mariapelleya7410]

Gorgeous!

[@nikkiporter1990]

Love seeing your face on camera now! I’ve always enjoyed your videos and they have helped me tremendously as I venture into very beginner type refinishing.

[@linda1541]

My mother had this and two end tables I believe it was a set. She bought them at Sears in the 1960’s I remember my mother saying that the tops were laminate. I have the one of the end tables at my house now.

[@hpot53]

Another piece you have made look greatly better. Do enjoy your videos. Ken from Alabama

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I guess I’m the only one who likes laminate on tabletops, but for countertops it’s my favorite, especially the old glossy finish. You did do a nice job and I like your work.

[@furlvr1961]

Beautiful! Simply beautiful! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 The table turned out great too!

[@craigallan4322]

Nice looking table. The new top is a big improvement.

[@annlorimer9264]

Finally a face to that calming voice! You’ve been like Tool Time Tim’s neighbor Wilson in your other videos where we can never really quite see the face. Sometimes I was almost distracted away from the restoration for trying to see your face in the reflection in the vinegar bottle or whatever there was. 😂🤣. I love your videos. And your voice. And now your face too! 😎

[@Little_Red_Riding_Hoodlum]

Looks great!

[@hamsonthehill]

Nice to see the face behind that mellow voice. Great informational vid.
