YOU ARE INDEED A CREATIVE AND PATIENT ARTIST. NO ONE COULD POSSIBLY AFFORD TO PAY YOU WHAT YOUR ARTISTRY IS WORTH. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS BEAUTY.

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING???!!!😲

Not everyone has 20/20 vision. I work with many of these people on a daily basis. A good clue: the name s also in all caps. I highly doubt it was shouting.

Thank you.

The world is mad but there is peace to be found in forgotten furniture being remembered and renewed. Did you have fun carving the ornament for the door? Always a pleasure to watch.

[@stevesmith6554]

please keep the videos coming. You add some sanity to this crazy world we are now in.

[@mstreich]

Your carving work and wood filler / stain-to-match was particularly impressive.

[@singlecatt]

That looks like an old radio cabinet. Lovely

[@zband9016]

I'm gonna nickname you "The King of Wing". Your winging it is better than the third grade effort most of us could do.. I really loved that trick you pulled with adding the wood filler and coloring it.

[@francesr49]

Is it me or are these the most relaxing videos on restoring furniture... he is truly the Bob Ross of refinishing funiture

[@thatgirl3757]

Watching you work your magic on these pieces keeps me happy for hours. Just loved this little cabinet. Ty

[@Jarrettsjams]

Love the MCM furniture, but a departure from it once and awhile is refreshing. Great job.

[@Joe1935429]

It turned out beautifully. Your knowledge and experience give you the shop savvy with woods and the many treatments, stains, and finishes available to produce the piece, that while it remains an antique, it reclaims the class and beauty of its newness. Thank you for sharing your art!

[@carinwiseman4309]

Looks beautiful. I love these 30's pieces, but they are always veneered, and always in terrible shape. So nice to see one brought back to beauty.

[@cameronspears1386]

You knocked this one out of the park

[@SophieT1416]

You do really nice work. Love this beautiful little cabinet. It could have so easily ended up in a landfill. Thank you for saving it.

[@Salsahaj]

Wow! What a fantastic job you did there! All the time you must have spent on meticulously scraping, sanding, colouring, carving etc., etc. I can't say that I like this piece of furniture itself much, but beauty is, of course, in the eye of the beholder. But you really managed to get the job perfectly done. It looked brand new after your work. I'm impressed - really! Bravo!

[@marrileemiles3974]

I am so addicted to watching these and I don't refinish furniture. But, I do learn new stuff in every one.

[@theshivelys]

This turned out beautifully and the carving of that decorative piece looked awesome!!

[@suzannerobinson6384]

Loved this one..so unique!

[@arlenelamont5610]

That was a pleasant surprise to see the top come out so clean. Great job!

[@traceyrice]

It's hard to believe it's the same piece. Really nice job! 💜

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@jackjax532]

You did an awesome job on this piece.

[@beeonthyme5760]

Just want to mention, how adept you are at setting up the camera for each step. I know that is time consuming, but you take that time. The other adept camera handling, is how your face never enters a frame. You make the furniture and your instruction the "star". Thank you.

[@nurse-diana]

But we want to see your face!

[@beeonthyme5760]

​@nurse-diana were you expecting him to be this handsome????

[@suecox2308]

Your sympathy for these old pieces (even MCM) brings your restoration work to a very high level. It's not as if you can take away all the years they have lived, but you moderate the negative effects and give them a wonderful new life. Another beautiful video.

[@Colombo5218]

Thank you. I enjoyed the excellent content and your calm, unhurried style. Many have much to learn from your measured pace of speaking. Best wishes!

[@markwellington1254]

You did such a great job of carving the replacement accents on the bottom of the door. This cabinet is so beautiful and would fit in in many homes probably even yours.

[@margaretsparksrittenhouse8787]

This lovely little cabinet needed some lovin’ and you made it pretty again, great job!

[@Michele-zn5yi]

Thanks for sharing your awesome talent. Your knowledge & attention to details is inspiring.

[@Melicoy]

@@dubba0o I agree 100% that carving is basic and rudimentary. It is nice to watch his work but the result is average. When he replaces veneer I kind of ask why doesn't he just replace with new piece of solid wood or a larger veneer Anyways... THANKS for the video

Do you have an Amazon referral link? I'd buy some of the tools you use. True, it's pennies, but pennies add up.

Lol currently watching every refurbishing video and taking notes of every tool and accessory. So an Amazon link would be much easier

Bravo!!!

[@peter-w]

Very nice work

[@eloisa246]

That jar of wood filler you were using looks exactly like peanut butter and I rly wanna eat it

[@andrewharper8991]

Lovely 👌

[@olejoergenmalm16]

I would be too scared to scrape off the finish, I would be afraid of ruining the inlays...

[@gilladams1521]

Nice work

[@joellojo9814]

I think it will look perfect if you add a touch of color gold or silver. #justsaying✌

[@Art-Glass-London]

Thanks for a great video! Some say that the revival of mid century design is declining and that an appetite is emerging for more ornamentation / decoration in furnitute and design generally. I believe the next revival will be of the Art Deco 1920/30’s as we reach that centenary. Do you find that this is the case? Is that why you picked an older piece or is that just what you had to hand? Best wishes and keep safe, from London, UK

[@elizabethburke791]

If the finish is shellac or varnish there is no need to scrape and ruin the patina. Simply mix equal parts of lacquer thinner and denatured alcohol and spread it around with a piece of very fine steel wool and wipe off the old finish with a cloth.

[@maxrguez8290]

Excelente trabajo, sólo una observación, la iluminación falló en algunas escenas.

[@julianarevill6166]

Very nice. Xx

[@howitzer5900]

Once you have restored the furniture, do you sell them, keep them, or a mixture of the two?

[@sjws89]

How do you decide when to use citrus strip, or just to sand? I’m going to strip the top of my dining room table. It was bought new 13 years ago, but the stain is dated looking now, too red of a stain for me. I want to do a more washed driftwood or walnut stain of some kind. Because the finish is relatively new, I am thinking I will have to do quite a bit of citrus strip and then start sanding?

[@ronupshaw]

Puts glove on brush hand and wipes away stain with bare hand. 🤦🏻‍♂️ 😉

[@teamoptimistic9440]

You always do an AMAZIMG JOB! 👏👏👏 What type of towel are you using to buff and shalack with?

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you. That was just an old cotton t-shirt.

[@janiceperla5506]

The dark wood with the black lines in it is zebra would I have a piano that's made out of that wood

[@laurielevack4246]

Do you have any suggestions for laminate just on the top of the piece that has been damaged by water is there a way to flatten it or do I need to get it off and replace the veneer?

[@abs639]

How do you work on veneer dents - the ones in the middle of the surface, not the edges?

[@WoodfulProjects]

Hello, what kind of woodfiller did you use? Mine usually comes in 2 parts with a hardener. Yours looks different.

[@sharit7970]

Timbermate...8:09

[@dhyanverco]

why do you use gel stain instead of regular stain?

[@Theyorkiegamer]

I used to do this when i was 16 , any reason you didnt use paint stripper and wire wool , with thinners after to wash off the stripper , then sand , Just wondering , would have saved you alot of pain .Good job though

[@sharit7970]

The finish on this piece was very old and brittle so it scraped off easily. Most other pieces would do better with stripper.

[@jeffr0]

Puts glove on paintbrush hand, wipes excess stain with ungloved hand 😉

[@TheDingfish]

Wait what I didn't know you could lighten a stain by going over it with a lighter gel stain???

[@GoBobe]

Wood Filler = Forbidden Peanut Butter

[@sarahpursley719]

That wood filler looks like peanut butter. 🙂

[@Daniel-ow2sh]

Where did you get the dye from? Those are that exact colors I need to repair a project in the same manner.

[@cubano100pct]

What solution did you use after the sanding?

[@sharit7970]

It's probably mineral spirits...he's just getting an idea at what the wood would look like with some finish on it; the thinner will just evaporate and dry quickly.

[@alexhelvetica]

He says denatured alcohol and Danish oil basically the same way. It's weird, and I have to think about it. I guess the denatured is said so weirdly

[@davidskeeterskeeter1835]

👏👏👏🇬🇧

[@triciaanddennisb9548]

Do you sell this stuff?

i respect the grind this looks so annoying to do

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you for watching!

[@vickiefowler1429]

For someone who’s “not a carver”, you did a pretty fantastic job of making that decorative piece for the door. It’s a really nice little cabinet - and, quite the departure from your usual MCM! Well done!

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@tiffanytrippeer5401]

I was getting ready to type the very same thing! 😬I agree he did an amazing job

[@catherinewolfson3139]

Agreed!

[@stevesmith6554]

Agreed with the comments. For not a carver, you did an excellent job.

[@joeearley3351]

I would have cut myself and the blood would have stained the little piece and ruined it or almost got it carved out and it broke.
