Note from a soapmaker: when using lye, ALWAYS wear full coverage clothing. Long sleeves, long pants, closed-toe shoes, apron, gloves, and goggles. It WILL melt your skin off. ☠️

This mid-century style of furniture got its name because it was a series commemorating the inauguration of the city of Brasília and the transfer of the capital of Brazil. And out of curiosity, there is a table like this at the Museu do Catetinho in Brasília and which belonged to President Juscelino Kubitschek, then president of Brazil at the time of the city's inauguration. Greetings from Brasília - Brazil!

[@HelgaCavoli]

This should be on top. Very important comment, adding information to it. Thank you!

[@daianbotelho]

I was just about to write this information down. Thanks, Carlos!

[@jaimea4621]

This is a wonderful background! Photos of Brasilia are stunning and shows where Broyhill got its inspiration.

[@francisheperi4180]

Your comment is informative and appreciated.

[@dashaway1460]

What fun to see you put this gorgeous table back together. I was working in a buying office in New York With when the Brasilia line of furniture was introduced. It seemed that every bride in the office ordered Brasilia furniture for their apartment or house. I came from a family with beautiful old furniture in each room. This idea of ordering a home full of furniture was new to me. Here we are all these years later and the fine design of the table shines through!

[@rudra7615]

I swear being a carpenter must be the most relaxing and rewarding hobby. I must learn this and be one.

[@MattBruuh]

Any progress?

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

Beautiful. Broyhill commercials are streaming through my head. It was always a name synonymous with quality.

[@caroltanzi29]

Broyhill produced great quality furniture in the mid-century. I recognized it. That particular design was very popular. You did a magnificent job of restoration. It made my heart sing. Well done! Carol from California

[@sharksport01]

Great quality? They sold it at JC Penneys. 😂

[@bret9741]

My grandparents had one very similar. Solid poplar core with laminate on surface.

[@carollynt]

What a beautiful table and transformation. So impressive!

[@sallywallace851]

My mother and dad got this table in 1965 ordered straight from Broyhill with matching chairs and the matching buffet console.

[@vision7559]

That is one elegant table. I love the legs. Another outstanding restoration. 🥰

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank You.

[@josephrogers5337]

Some years ago I was a volunteer at a local storefront branch library. There was a children's table in very bad shape. Years of bad fixes, layers of wood grain shelf paper. I removed those layers, stripped the finish and applied new stain and new finish. While there was still some "stress marks" left It came out looking great. It was made of Solid Maple and I discovered a great high grade commercial table. The librarian told the County Library HQ of it and officials came over to view that table. Don't dismiss old furniture as a lost cause, repair it, refinish and enjoy such furniture. Good job on your table

[@SonicBoone56]

Holy crap, that's a massive transformation! Probably one of the biggest transformations on your channel. You can't even tell that it was literal roadside garbage. I'd go as far as to say it's one of my favorite looking ones you've done so far, that finish and color is gorgeous!

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@ladyluck5248]

I agree. It’s probably my my favourite as well !!!

[@ankermek]

I´m so looking forward to the day this guy buys some led-lights for his shop so it will be possible to see what he is doing. The colour things he is doing sounds interresting. 🤔

[@pat_an466]

Goodness, what a lovely transformation! That seemed like quite a lot of work, so I hope you sell it (unless you're keeping it, of course). And, as ever, it's a mixture of interesting and informative, as well as restful to watch - I always really enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thanks for watching.

[@tejolisboa]

I like the way you bring old stuff back to a new life. This time the video seemed a little dark.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Oooh, I have been patiently impatient (lol) waiting for this one, and as always- you knocked it clear out of the park. So thankful you were able to save this. ❤️ I have a teak one coming up that is going to need a miracle. Lol

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@henriksen4]

Well, Angie, you perform miracles on a weekly basis so that shouldn’t be a problem.🙂

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

@@henriksen4 aww thank you for the vote of confidence! ❤️❤️

[@dawncelestino2086]

Right so happy he saved this piece. I have been anxiously waiting a video from Dashner. I follow both of you. Love both of your work

[@louisejgarcia3387]

I've always loved mid century furniture. It will never age. We inherited a late 1940-50's formal dining set. It's been difficult finding a furniture rehab person. I might just try this method. Thank you

[@jads9296]

Good job. The latch was correct. It sits in an unlocked position with no leaves. When you pull it apart to add leaves, there are holes in the track where the “hook” drops in and holds it in place. This is so one person can extend the table the correct distance to add a leaf. Then after the leaf is removed, you unlock the track to close it back up. There are instructions out on the internet from the 50s and 60s from Broyhill that demonstrate how it works. Looks great. Great save.

[@albertine2169]

Utterly lovely. After all that hard work, the table looks like a ballerina on point ❤

[@homeandgardendiy6363]

Well said. The silhouette of it really is beautiful! 😍

[@Dakiniwoman]

Very nice restoration... It's always wonderful to see something that is garbage turned into something beautiful and useful again.

[@susanheston4483]

Something that probably would have ended up in the trash heap had you not taken it. Was brought back to life, with you knowledge and gentle handling. It's beautiful. Always look forward to your videos, it's a pleasure to watch you work.

[@indie825]

You did an amazing job in restoring the table. Looking at the after photo you would never know it had been in such rough shape. Thanks to the local viewer for rescuing it.

[@brentdobson5264]

Somewhere someone said " Art is that which conceals art " ....great table !

[@alisonburgess345]

This is very, very similar to the old table I got for $5 and which I copied all your methods to try to fix it up! It worked and it's now in my house and it's used every day - I love it... Lovely to watch this video..

[@ThriftyHippie]

The finish looks like dark roasted coffee beans! Love it.

[@motortowncuriosites7005]

Well done! this shows that even a piece that looks to far gone can be saved from the land fill.

[@mamiebobb4173]

Wow! Absolutely beautiful. I am always bewitched when watching you work. I cant tear my eyes away. Phone ringing? Leave a message. I'm busy watching the furniture magician do his magic.

[@pteddie6965]

The table looks great now. I learn something about finishing, patching and or repairing furniture on each of your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us.

[@cmitchell7347]

Another amazingly beautiful restoration. With the added benefit of your soothing voice providing a 22-minute meditation. Did wonders for my BP. Thank you.

[@beeonthyme5760]

Love your calm delivery.

[@susannerosenborg4433]

So beautiful👏🏻a very god video. I am from Denmark and enjoy every video you make, they are very relaxing for me

[@chopsjazz1]

To quote an old friend, "I think it looks pretty good."

[@hamatoyoshi8711]

Every piece of furniture you restore deserves to be in a furniture art gallery!

[@Mikemalone7873]

Wow! That seemed to be your greatest challenge so far. It came out SO good. Ready for another 50 years!

[@patriciabockenstette6550]

That table has a beautiful shape and the color combinations you made brought it to life. Thanks for sharing.

[@ameliareaganwright2758]

I have finished and refinished more furniture pieces than I can count. In my humble opinion, I think you did a fantastic job. 👍

[@nowvoyagerNE]

this was a good project for you to display your refinishing artistry as well as your refinishing problem-solving skills. it's nice to see you again. thanks to the viewer who gave you the table. i wonder if you will be keeping the table for use in your home or if you are planning to sell it. it's a beautiful makeover.

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thanks, I’m not sure yet what I’ll do with it.

[@nancyanneberg403]

Great job! I love to see abandoned furniture saved.

[@Rareplymouth]

I'm amazed how beautiful it turned out

[@remmary100]

Well done! I would be happy to have that table in my dining room. So sad to think that it could have ended up at the local landfill.

[@jeannieapplegate7662]

This turned out beaitiful My parents had this table when I was little about mid 60s. The chairs had leather seats and the back.was rounded wood to match. Love watching your channel.

[@ninoskae]

You sir are a miracle worker! I thought just for a minute, this one might be a lost cause but of course I was wrong. Bravo 👏🏽 👏🏽

[@thesehandsart]

You are the first KZbin refinisher I've seen that used a tannin reactive stain! I LOVE using them and ask glad to hear l see them getting some love❤️ If you want to darken the stain you can make strong tea and wash it over the wood which will add tannin to increase the reaction of the stain.

[@savannahsmiles1797]

I remember my grandparents used tea on furniture and brazilian black coffee that was like liquid mud that my grandma dyed yarn with.

[@Jessica-kk1cz]

Sooooo much more patience than I have. Glad there’s people like this in the world. Looks great.

[@martha-leemain5883]

love seeing restoration of old furniture, making old tired pieces into renewed living beauties. Keep up the good work.

[@mkjackson55]

Turned out beautiful. I did not think it would, and was very surprised.

[@armelleaymonin8907]

Another beautiful table saved by you!

[@masonkoontz2539]

Always a treat to see your work. You have inspired me to save several Danish teak and mid century pieces from the thrift store. Thanks for being such a great resource.

[@isaacsantella]

I love how you frame your finished product shots, always an aesthetic delight

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

I think the table will look fine with a full size solid color cloth laying upon it. A pumpkin orange cloth would accent the legs. You did well editing the video. Good job overall. 👍👍👍

[@RestoreMoreMCM]

I thought that I heard the table rejoicing! Did my heart good to watch your kindness to history.

[@Little_Red_Riding_Hoodlum]

I love the rich dark finish!

[@ronniechilds2002]

Great job! Looks very nice. I once got lucky with an old, hand-made maple dining table. Decades before, someone set a hot dish on it, and left a deep, black mark, about 8 inches per side of a square. My wife said she remembered seeing the burn on it when she was a child, and we ain't exactly children any more. Figuring I had nothing to lose, I decided to see if I could remove it and upgrade the table overall. I took a belt sander to it (don't remember the grit) and it came out, with no damage to the table. After further sanding and care, the thing looked beautiful, and we still use it daily. I just figured a belt sander would butcher it, but no, it turned out great. Like I said, I got lucky.

[@daedubois9428]

I'm 57 now and I swear my mom had this table when I was little, like 3 years old!!

[@JonathanSchwabe]

Iv been a subscriber for quite a while now and wanted to say love the videos! You actually gave me the confidence to refinish my own kitchen table and it turned out amazing and I saved a ton of money! Keep up the great content👍🏼
