I Found A Mid Century Credenza On The Side Of The Road And Restoration Ensued.

[@kristinaginorio1344]

Loving that there's no annoying music, looping in the background. It makes it a pleasure to learn from you.

[@ShellyCline]

Oh TOTALLY agree!

A 29 minutes restoration from dashner is the best Gift this Weekend could give me.Thank you

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thanks for watching!

[@jane2594]

Honestly I'm a little in love with this guy. He's so patient and kind. Every video I feel like he's coaxing a sad, abused piece of furniture back to feeling loved and alive.

[@dawnmazarati3301]

That's not creepy AT ALL 😂

[@ashleywright8686]

Thank you not adding music. So unnecessary. Always love your calming videos.

[@bbqribz570]

i feel like this man has never raised his voice once in his life.

[@jenniferk4336]

He really does sound like a patient guy who thinks before he speaks, and he has a calming presence.

WOW, absolutely beautiful, and a pleasure to watch, very peaceful, thank you, it's such a joy to watch.

[@mitchcline3289]

You do beautiful work. It's rare to see a woodworker showing the mistakes they make along the way, and how they deal with it. That's just as informative to me as what you do right. Thanks for the honesty.

[@GEOMETRICINK]

I have a home full of beautiful mid century pieces that I’ve collected ever since I was in high school. For example, I had my parents buy me a perfect condition mid century modern bedroom set instead of throwing me a graduation party :) I want to refinish just about half of my furniture but won’t until my kids are in college! I redid a few end tables and coffee table just to have the kids spill drinks on them, use them as a launch pad, and take chunks out of the veneer. This channel is giving me so much inspiration!

[@marshawargo7238]

Not knowing how old your kids are but maybe you could have them help you restore less expensive pieces and they'd appreciate it more knowing how much work went into the job also self pride in helping

[@robertapascal6962]

Your comment has given me inspiration, dont have kids. Jk 😊

[@jean6061]

Last week, I'd seen what I thought was a small end table across the road with some other furniture - free. My friend knew I was interested in it and rescued it for me. This morning, I brought it home. It's not an end table, but a small sewing bench with an upholstered top that lifts completely off. Love it! It could still be used for a seat or a place to rest a coffee cup. I love to sew and quilt and enjoy vintage fabrics, so when I lifted the bench and saw vintage sewing notions in the storage area, that was pure gold! It's in very good shape, just needs some touch-ups and new upholstery. And now, I've discovered your channel. Thanks so much!

[@beeonthyme5760]

The whole time I'm watching your videos. My mind keeps repeating "oh, I love these videos!" I especially appreciate how you don't skip steps. I like watching the finish removal as much as the application of finish. And as always, your relaxed delivery of info. Almost bordering on AMSR.

[@jackm7497]

That hack using a soldering iron is pretty genius, haven’t seen that one before. Keep up the great work

[@evfast]

My Mom has the matching set, minus the credenza, to this piece. It was interesting to watch this particular video, as it featured furniture I grew up living with and looking at. Another great presentation, cheers.

[@PiggieMafia]

Wow, you did some pretty meticulous patching work there, bro. Awesome! Love to see people with a heart for quality work. 😎

[@AppleSlicesUnite]

I can't help to think, the furniture is saying, "Thank you for saving me".

[@007Julie]

I agree! I have a few antique furniture pieces that have bought from Goodwill and I always feel like they’re happy to have a loving home where they can live a nice life. I treat them with care and respect and they seem to like it.

[@lizday8140]

Just got back from the laundromat. Feeling down because I do everything as "just one person". Sometimes you feel that way, you know? And your credenza video notification came through. Hope you are feeling better and recovering well from surgery. Thanks for sharing your art with us!

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you for watching!

[@RNCHFND]

Surgery? What happened to him?

[@sarahdee374]

Hey Liz, totally agree. And now that we're hosting a pandemic we're even more solitary. KZbin has been a huge help to me also! Let's all hang in there, and be kind to ourselves and each other when we have the opportunity.

[@Michelle-hg3sv]

I hear you, Liz

[@irenesnyder1819]

This video is so Zen: It is completely satisfying watching & listening to him restore a castoff into a beautiful piece of furniture...and one that I would pay BIG $$$ for.

[@user-jc8py7dw7r]

I love how calm and steady you are. You make me want to restore furniture.

[@donaldwatson7698]

I've inherited several mid-century pieces from my parents, and will inherit more in the future, so I've become fascinated with your channel's many mid-century restorations. This is a beautiful credenza, and I'm glad you were the one to find it.

[@j.m.7056]

The veneer repairs were fascinating! Thanks so much for your work.

[@namewithoutdigits]

Enjoyed the long-form episode. Great work and storytelling, as usual. It is cool to see your troubleshooting for existing and unexpected issues. There are a lot of “little” things you do to repair and restore these pieces. You are an artist. Thanks for sharing.

[@lilolmecj]

Simply fabulous, what a great restoration!

[@aaronandrews3059]

Great video. So glad you have recovered from your accident and are back to your old self. Thank you for showing the detailed vener repair. I need to repair my mid century dresser that was my grandmother's.

[@cherucheruchan1992]

I came here for furniture restoration ideas and found something amazing and unexpected. Not only is he skilled with restoring furniture, this this guy's voice is so calm and soothing I'm going to come here whenever I need to relax or can't fall asleep. He should start a podcast or something. Also, thank you for the awesome video, it was very informative! Glad I found your channel.

[@ibaber]

This was a great video. I also found an antique piece on the curb that I will need to strip completely. Unfortunately, the veneer was painted black...and I see that in some areas, it is starting to peel off. This video will help me refinish this piece! Thanks for taking the time to show us your talent/skills.

[@robert23497]

Another EXCELLENT restoration video from dashner design! Thank you sir! You are the Bob Ross of furniture!

[@thatgirl3757]

This has become my new favorite episode. There was a variety of repairs and little artistic tips for making those repairs appear more natural. You did an absolute wonderful job on the serving tray. I so enjoyed this from beginning to end. Thank you.

[@LaughingInTiny]

I'm so happy there are channels like this on KZbin and not just gaming etc for 14 year olds. I have no intention of ever refinishing any furniture but I could watch you do it for hours... reminds me of my grandfather and stepfather building things. Very relaxing to watch and listen to. Thx.

[@carolannhook554]

Love to see how this piece changed from a tired, dated, clunky piece of furniture into a modern, beautiful throwback. You do such a great job saving furniture and reminding us all to take a little more care and attention with what we already have instead of just throwing it out and buying a new one. Thank you. :)

[@elfinmajictime]

Broyhill Sculptra is never dated. Ever.

[@phyllisgiaconia5852]

I'm loving the calmness of your voice and no background music. It is easier to follow your progress. Thanks

[@OldLadyInFL]

So nice to see someone actually take the time to restore a mid-century piece instead of just painting over it. Beautiful job!

[@homemoviesandotherstuff3419]

I love this credenza. Broyhill was always a great classic piece of furniture. Thanks for reviving it.

[@randomperson537]

Great job. You the kind of person I would love to have for a friend - finding stuff, restoring it while having a relaxing conversation.

@@DashnerDesignRestoration You're welcome! Your videos have helped me through many a project.

[@sallybruska1499]

I loved the stain color. It came out beautiful. The large patch was invisible after you did the coloring on it. I don't think anyone will see it unless they get up close and personal with that part of the bottom edge. Again it turned out just wonderful.

[@lazygardens]

FYI, whenever anyone shows up on r/finishing or r/woodworking with MCM pieces in need of rehab, we send them over here ... your process is simple and low risk to the furniture.

I actually went to a school specifically for furniture repair. When you can blend colors how you did with that wood, it really is an art form. It's surprising how much red there is in a lot of brown stain that people don't realize.

Brown is just orange, with context.

This video was similar to one of those cozy storytelling videos, and gave me a sensation of sitting near a fireplace and having someone read me a book, so calming, relaxing, safe. Even just the audio is enough for me. Would love to just lay down, listen to his voice, and imagine what it is that he's doing. Really let my auditory senses and imagination run wild. I'm honestly glad I found this chanel and cannot wait to watch more videos.

[@lbshim]

Very glad you added the “before” and “after” pictures right next to each other at the end. I really think your finished furniture deserves a better picture though. If you could put a little rug on the corner with (faux) drapes in the back, it will give you a lot better picture of the furniture with little light. Just a suggestion.. Your quality of work is really amazing.

[@Flecha57]

Heating up a stripped screw, good tip. You must have been a HS or community college woodworking instructor. Your cadence, ability to explain and patch is beyond a mere cabinet maker : ) It's mesmerizing to see a piece come back to life. Patching the handle was a great tutorial.
