REVITALIZE your old teak dining table | DIY furniture refinishing

I get asked all the time how I get such good results with sanding, so this mid century teak dining table in need of a refresh was the perfect project to show you. Plus, you get to see me make the dumbest mistake ever, and repurpose some salvaged MCM lamps using my new xTool P2.

Hi all! I'm aware of a short glitch at approx 2:13 in the video. This must have been an upload error as it wasn't in the original file. I've gone into the KZbin editor which allows me to cut certain portions, so I've cut that section out.. but it will take up to a couple of hours for the change to occur. There may be slight hiccup on the new version, but at least there won't be moments of frozen silence. lol Sorry about this!

[@Greenacres1958]

I just added 10 seconds and it went away. Lol.

[@trixie9777]

You are so diligent! Thank you for fixing the glitch, as well as letting us know! I admire your attention to detail. PS I love how you did the underside of the table too!

[@lalathebenificent1335]

I thought it was my garbage internet connection 😊

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Haha so did I, when it stopped in the middle of my live video premiere!

[@wendyparker5881]

Glitch, what glitch? Great job on the table and the videography. You are so talented.

[@donnabryant8985]

Your commitment to salvaging unwanted furniture is awesome and your skill level is so impressive!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Except with ironing. 😂😂

[@jungleflowerscanada5384]

I love MCM, the table is fab and i love the candle holders also. You're so talented ❤

[@jennifercartwright2360]

Nice job, Angie! The transformation of the electric sconces to candle holders was terrific. Great idea. Love the finish on the table. Just beautiful.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@minnieevans1025]

Simply beautiful!!! I love what you did with the sconces, too! You are a master at your craft. I've never seen anyone who creates such perfection on furniture!😊❤

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Aww, thank you so much!

[@beckydent5692]

Beautiful as always. Really like the repurposing of the sconces.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you! I’m just glad we were able to pull them from the house before it was demolished!

[@Sandrilenefatoren]

Holy crap, we had a nearly identical table in my family for DECADES!

[@debcarroll8192]

I think the candle holders rock! And the teak table is so gorgeous!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you Deb!

[@roannathephoenix8561]

Stunning as always and I'm loving the re-purposed sconces. Love your honesty and transparency. Id probably either never speak of it or laugh while retelling the story each time.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

I usually laugh. Haha I find KZbin videos are often so “glossy and shiny”.. I like to keep it real. Hahaha

[@clairewright8153]

Great tips on sanding thanks so much for sharing those. Love the way you re-purposed the lamps they look fabulous. I don’t think I’ll ever look a light shades the same way.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

I really appreciate that! Thank you!

[@emilyfogerty6438]

I love those candle holders!!! Gorgeous! You should keep the base for the other one though, just in case you ever wanted to put them on either side of something.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Oh I did! I'll be keeping them both, as it's nice to have options for how to use them :-)

[@salishseaquest7952]

Angie, you gave me some great ideas on how to re-finish my own teak table. Thanks! Loved this treatment and your tips.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

You're so welcome!!

[@madeleinegombert661]

Love the table and the new candle holders.

[@ushere5791]

love the table and the little lanterns! we had the same danish modern (bauhaus?) dinette when i was a kid, including the leaf, and 4 matching chairs with sort of oval "floating" backrests upholstered in some kind of faux leather with piping. it was a beautiful set with an elegant, simple design aesthetic that i only grew to appreciate as an adult.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

We never appreciate pieces when we're young. Children are blind to things of that nature. Thanks so much for watching! 🙂

[@ushere5791]

i was more into the gothic and antique pieces with history at that age...especially if they had fancy keys...always figured i'd fill my house with that kind of furniture. the MCM stuff didn't appeal to me until i was well into my adulthood, and i've grown to love its simplicity. when i got my own home, i ended up with some hand-me-downs, one cherished antique i bought, a lot of practical--more timeless--pieces, and as many artisanally-crafted hand-painted pieces from david marsh as i can afford. :) @@TranscendFurnitureGallery

[@saggioculo5386]

Truly excellent work. Came out beautiful.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you very much!

[@Ms._Purple_Apple]

Love your repurposed candle holders.👍⭐️

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

I'm so glad you like them!

[@kaboombox1581]

The table came out gorgeous. I like how you repurpose the sconces, my only note might be to use a slightly shorter pillar candle so more of the light is going through the stained glass.

[@brendaalbaugh8927]

Love you saved table and lights! Both beautiful. Love your work thanks

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

:-) thank you!

[@AskingSpot]

Love the repurposed use for the lights! Sanding class was excellent too

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much for watching! 🙂

[@cynthiajacklyn6639]

Your work is meticulous and beautiful! I love the fact that you also educate us about wood, products and tools. All in all, your just cool!! ( my two cents on the candles is black base should be on both candles or both wood. either way they are beautiful, would be cool as sconces too!! I love the look!)

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

We are keeping both black bases in case we want to have them both the same at some point. :-)

[@cynthiajacklyn6639]

@TranscendFurnitureGallery awesome idea!! You can mix it up any way you want. Can't wait for your next video! Stay cool!!

[@dshey6802]

You rocked another piece! Love the oil finish. The candle holder conversion is brilliant. You make everything look so easy. Thank goodness the iron was saveable!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much for watching! 🙂

[@donnatrobaugh1676]

Love your candleholders and admire your work.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you! I was happy with how they turned out :-)

[@ritameza2961]

Beautiful work thanks for sharing❤

[@lornaassmus9189]

The table is gorgeous, so are the candle holders. Love them both! That XTool looks so handy, I look forward to seeing more projects with it.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much for watching! 🙂

[@cecilialabel4565]

They came out great.

[@donnatrobaugh1676]

I believe the reason they don't seal the bottom you spoke of, because the pressed wood will never see water. It would be an added expense for them to add it. Good video.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Yes, that is definitely why. But to me, it would be a matter of maybe a few dollars in product. I guess it’s the time factor for Them. At any rate, it’s done now. Hahaha

[@annelangland2082]

So far I've been very lucky with veneer over solid wood on the MCM pieces I've done. I'm currently working on a Drexel bedroom set that is walnut veneer over solid wood. There is a section in the front of the dressers that are solid walnut. I love everything you do and I've learned a lot from you.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

I’ve noticed that a lot of the American made pieces have a tendency to use more wood. Here, it’s almost always pressed wood, but I don’t mind at all. It holds up better over time here.

[@kerrimackay521]

It's good to see you back restoring again.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Oh I never stopped - I've just been stuck on a difficult piece for the past few weeks. I try to keep the Community page updated if you're ever wondering where I am. 🙂

[@j.k.rector9818]

Love the pencil tip to avoid over sanding! You knocked this out of the park and ❤️ the up-cycle of those colorful sconces was cool… nice machine to do more design work. Missed your fur babies and insist many crameos (cat rabbit cameos) in your next production! 🐰😻

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

I cannot promise any crameos whilst Nacho is training the intern. I'll definitely pass the request along to the crew though!

[@kathrynronnenberg1688]

The table looks beautiful, spare and clean. I like the high-low effect with the candle holders, but if you ever did the sort of piece that needed a matching pair, you can always put the base on the other one. Good save!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you!

[@girlnorthof60]

The 'same day final sand/finish' tip is perfect timing for me. Beautiful table refinishing, thanks for all my new knowledge, Angie. Cheers! 👋Pat

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Glad it was helpful!

[@meganjacoby9184]

Gorgeous as always! I love the fact that you show the mistakes and the beautiful outcomes. I wasn’t sure about the repurposing of the lamps at first, but I love what you did with them. Creativity at its best!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much! 😃

[@ThatDuckieMoment]

I love the candle holders, they look great both ways.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@marymendez4178]

Yes it's so wonderful to have you back, is been a while. The mid century lamps are very nice, I love it, looks like stain glass. The dinning room table is stunning and the chair wasn't part of the video but it goes together just fine.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

The chair was technically “borrowed” from our dining room, but it’s hard to stage a table for pics or video without one, so I grabbed it. :-)

[@barbradawnbarrett]

I knew the iron part was coming, and yet it still shocked me when it happened! Lol! I feel your pain, and I'm glad you didn't ruin anything major!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Hahaha! Thank goodness it was on the shipping blanket and NOT the brand new laminate countertop that is under it! 😬😂

[@theheritagehousesc]

Beautiful work as usually! I personally love teak wood! It has a more clean, modern look than any other wood that looks so traditional. I use to sell teak furniture in my consignment store and every time I sold a teak furniture I'll be sad. I wanted to keep each piece😂🤣 I love the candle holders!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Teak is gorgeous!! I completely understand the draw! 🙂

[@madzabinga8382]

Great video! You dropped some super informative knowledge bombs. And, I loved seeing not only the table spruce up, but the lantern glow up as well. Thanks for sharing this. Can't wait to see what's next.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

You're very welcome!!

[@sophiachristo7546]

I love the table! I cannot believe you had it for so long unfinished! So beautiful! The candle holders are awesome! They have nice vibes! I like both of them. Thanks so much for sharing

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

You're so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@PeterRabbit000]

As usual, your work is absolutely stunning! Sometimes I think I enjoy some of my dumb mistakes as much as I enjoy my successes. How else would I learn? Anyway, I always enjoy watching you transform unloved pieces into treasures.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Many thanks! I'm so glad you enjoy my videos! 🙂

[@PeterRabbit000]

​@@TranscendFurnitureGallery I couldn’t relocate the discussion of the “Fire your husband for bad photography” rant you posted Friday. I had something to add, so I hope you don’t mind my reaching out to you this way. Like others who absolutely love what you do and how you do it, I wanted to lash out at the person for the attack. Trollers have also derided me over picayune nonsense, so I tend to be defensive of those I value. I thought after I got home I would look online for the Snappy Comeback of the Century and share it with you. I even thought if I were in your place, I would ask the person for receipts-which videos? what timestamps? how often?, etc. But then a thought came to me, as an animal lover who with great joy watches videos of people who rescue spicy kittens. The cold, hungry little ones often hiss at their rescuers, possibly because that’s all the babies know to do. Perhaps this person’s world has hardened her (or him), and she wouldn’t dare snap at another mean person, so she picks on gentle souls like you who clearly have personal and professional successes and a dedicated following. How sad for this poor soul-let’s hope some sunshine comes her way. For what it is worth: I have shown samples of your videos to at least two others, one a business associate, as examples of how to structure a presentation for KZbin. So, “Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!” (you may substitute tomatoes, or tornados, or tamales for $0.29)

[@jeansteele7685]

I absolutely love how you changed those light fixtures into candles holders. Great job, Angie! 😍 Teak is one of my favorite woods. It's just so gorgeous! You did a wonderful job on that table. 🎉

Your care and affection for the pieces you save is so clear in this one. The original manufacturer hadn't bothered to protect the underside - but you did! Another wonderful instructional video where you share some of your tips and tricks for making the task satisfying and the end result stunning.

Still have a few to go, but I've been very inspired by your work and the care and appreciation you have for each piece you work on. I didn't know anything about refinishing furniture before your channel, I just started to teach myself and I still have so much more to learn, but I've been enjoying every minute of it, and you really helped changed the way I see furniture restoration/refinishing, and truly ignited in me a love for mid century modern.

I love those candle holders! I grew up in the 70s, and they just hit all the right nostalgia points. Having them at different heights was a really good choice. The table is lovely - so satiny and rich-looking. But I am such a magpie for colored glass that I had to comment on that first. 😂

Loved the light project Angie. I'm a collector of old, quirky light fixtures and I really appreciate seeing them put to new use. As for the iron, I laughed out loud. I can so relate! I've been a professional seamstress for almost 40 years and yes, I still do things like that from time to time.

The table looks great. It doesn’t matter that it wasn’t a huge project. What matters is that you restored the beauty to a table. And the candle holders are awesome, too. Again, you saved a couple of pieces that could have been discarded and made them better! I love your work and look forward to new videos. Oh, and I am subscribed and have been for quite some time.

Beautiful little table! And the candleholders look cool - amazing salvage there!

So very happy to see this project because I own several pieces like this!! They all came from my dad and I love them but they need some care. You have shown me the way!! Awesome

I'm so glad I could help! 😊

You are so amazing. I watch your videos not because I want to learn to refinish and flip, but because I enjoy watching the process. However, I learn so much! I have some personal pieces that need "help", and I now know how to do it correctly. Thank you!

You're very welcome! ☺️

The transformation you did with that former sconce/light was beautiful! Personally I prefer the pedestal but both a gorgeous. I was amazed at the difference with just cleaning the cool glass

I can’t commend you enough for the excellent work you do. This is my first time commenting after having been a follower for slightly over a year but I felt compelled to do so. Those candle holders are beautiful! I never thought of myself as a mid-century furniture lover, but every time I watch one of your videos, you change my mind more and more. Please continue to do all the great work you do.

Oh I definitely will! Thank you so much for watching!!
