MCM Furniture Restoration Lane Acclaim

[@Robert-wb8gt]

That's gorgeous Lane furniture is awesome, amazing history.

[@MadManRestorations]

@@Robert-wb8gt thank you 😊

[@sallybruska1499]

A beautiful restored piece. I love to see these tables restored.

[@awr2217]

By all means more furniture restorations please. Even though the Lane Acclaim line of tables was mass produced they still are great looking pieces of furniture. Really nice job.

[@TheMCMHunter]

High quality restoration! Really enjoyed your work! Now I have some tips to restoration when I find my lane pieces during my hunts. Thanks again!

[@MadManRestorations]

Awesome. That's the point of my videos!!

[@charlotteheckaman165]

It looks lovely ! I like that you didn’t tone out the inlay on top , I have seen some refinished that cover up that contrast to the point that it barely shows . Thanks for sharing the steps you took and products used .

[@MadManRestorations]

My pleasure 😊

[@jglow8337]

Absolutely breathtaking!

[@MadManRestorations]

Thank you 😊

[@sogcezar]

Congrats brother, I’m about to do the same with the two tier model… it’s quite addictive doing those projects… enjoy the ride!!!!

[@jodidavis6595]

Beautifully done. I wish so much that I still had the 3 piece set my I. Laws gave me when my husband first got married. Triangle side table a coffee table and the one you just refinished. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Love your channel. Well done

[@MadManRestorations]

Thank you 😊

[@freshpack8928]

What state in the union are you allowed to spray lacquer without a spray booth and filters?

[@MadManRestorations]

Land of the free and home of the spray.

[@mjcaparbi]

Perfecto restoration!

[@rebeccawilliams9057]

Thank you for not putting music in your video. I can watch without wanting to turn the volume aaaallll the way down. And very nice work!

[@MadManRestorations]

@@rebeccawilliams9057 😂 thanks. Noted ☺️

[@ameernavididesigns]

fascinating work! Really enjoyed how you stepped through the process.

[@yt_blossom2108]

So helpful to see your process! Do you have recommendations on glaze and toner colors for Kent Coffey perspecta line? Or would you use the same process? Do you have any experience with dyes?

[@DistractedPlatypus]

Nice work!

[@jpyeatt9696]

Fabulous!

[@saraparente3724]

Looks great! Maybe your next video can be fixing the hot spot on the credenza I messed up lol. 🤦‍♀️

[@andydixon6759]

Well done. Can you tell me what your sprayer setup is?

[@MadManRestorations]

I used a pancake sprayer with a HVLP gun. I have since moved on to a Fuji Q4 and getting better results.

[@michaelsorensen5707]

Amazing!! What sprayer/compressor do you have?

[@MadManRestorations]

This was a compressor but I have upgraded to a Fuji Q4 and love it.

[@zacharymilos392]

Wondering what the main difference in end result is between the pigmented toner (all white can) and the "transparent" ultra classic (cream colored can)? I thought the finish toner was more opaque and might risk covering up grain, so I was hesitant to buy it and thought the Ultra classic would be what I might always use.

[@MadManRestorations]

You are correct. But it will only cover the grain if you use it like spray paint lol. Remember... mist!!!

[@zacharymilos392]

@@MadManRestorations cool thanks! So if you mist it... Is there any real difference between the two in the result?

[@MadManRestorations]

@@zacharymilos392 yes, there is a difference. It won't look right imo.

[@zacharymilos392]

@@MadManRestorations cool thanks! Going to contact mohawk rep just to get clarification on the use case for both. I almost bought a bunch of the Ultra classic... Good thing I didn't

[@izcab]

Excellent.

[@pjohnson0818]

What would you think having a table like this refinished by a refinisher would cost?

[@MadManRestorations]

@@pjohnson0818 It really all depends. There's no set price among refinishers. I would guess maybe $300-$600. Also depends if you want it grain filled. That would cost more.

[@reneejohnson5041]

Nice, but do you have a video that shows how you did the feet on this Lane table?

[@MadManRestorations]

For the black feet I use black gloss acrylic paint then spray a quick coat of lacquer.

[@tammywalla7259]

Do you scuff after toning or straight to lacquer

[@MadManRestorations]

@@tammywalla7259 never scuff or even touch toner. It's essentially dust when it sits. It should be topcoated as soon as you are done.

[@joanmelville8549]

Have you ever done Lane Rhythm .. Asking as I cant figure out what color to use?

[@MadManRestorations]

@@joanmelville8549 good question. I use the same process for Lane Rhythm.

[@damongrambow7077]

I am learning a ton from your videos. Really hoping you see these questions: First, I elected to not grain fill or glaze. (are they the same?). Do you think it is possible to go back and glaze/grain fill AFTER toner but before lacquer? Second, do you sand between toner and final lacquer top coat? If so, with what? Thanks!!!! (Edit: Refinishing Lane Acclaim coffee table and end tables.)

[@MadManRestorations]

Generally toner is the last step before lacquer. You do not want to touch toner after it is sprayed. I would lightly wipe with lacquer thinner to remove the toner then glaze or grain fill. Then toner and lacquer topcoats.

[@damongrambow7077]

@@MadManRestorations Do you sand between toner and lacquer finish coat?

[@MadManRestorations]

@@damongrambow7077 NO! Do not sand toner. It's essentially dust. You should lacquer topcoat shortly after toner.

[@micheleharvey8723]

Gorgeous piece. Is it for sale?

[@MadManRestorations]

I have a few Acclaim pieces available. DM on my Instagram.

[@bayano4ever]

Do you usually glaze the top onlu or the legs as well?

[@MadManRestorations]

Glaze the entire piece.

[@ellencochrane7847]

Beautiful 😻

[@rofree2470]

Hi, are you planning to upload more videos? Thanks!

[@MadManRestorations]

Yes, I'm currently working on filming a project now. It's a big fancy Danish dresser 👀

[@MadManRestorations]

Thanks 😊

[@650tonyd]

where are you located? how much do you charge?

[@MadManRestorations]

NJ. Prices are individual for each piece.

[@650tonyd]

@@MadManRestorations im in californa. i have a lamp i want to restore

[@MadManRestorations]

@@650tonyd check out Hobbs Modern and Moore's Refinishing. They are both in southern California.

[@petestaint8312]

I refinished a table just like this one. Turned out great! Not as good as yours but great.

[@MadManRestorations]

Just takes knowledge and patience.

[@johnsaal9052]

Are you using a Porter Cable pancake compressor for the HPLV spraying? Does it keep up okay? I’ve been hesitant to use it.

[@MadManRestorations]

Yes. But after this video I bought a dedicated 4 stage turbine hvlp sprayer.

[@sandycitymom2874]

the sander you are using is it a Dewalt? in the video u call it an orbital or orb something was that a mistake

[@MadManRestorations]

DeWalt is the brand. The type of sander is a random orbital sander.

[@benjamenbuglovsky8225]

What’s the sprayer you use?

[@MadManRestorations]

The spray gun is from harbor freight with a pancake compressor.

[@alexandra_sa_lazer]

Your work can speak for itself. You don’t have to put others down. It’s off putting and makes you seem like you have the maturity of an incel

[@MadManRestorations]

Other people's work speak for themselves too. I merely pointed out that it's not good work.

[@bonnierata8405]

@@MadManRestorations You were down right nasty. There was nothing "mere" about it or it "speaking for itself". You were the one doing all the talking. Isn't there enough nastiness in this world already without your snippy, ankle-biting little remarks? Shame on you.

Please please please put gloves on before using oxalic acid…u don’t want to have that solution in contact w/ ur skin over long periods of time.

[@MadManRestorations]

Thanks. I forgot this time lol.

[@mykedoesthings2917]

You're gonna call someone else's work amateur when you don't even fix the imperfections in the piece. On top of that, you don't wear any PPE when wiping the ox acid and mineral spirits. Talk about cutting corners. SMH

[@MadManRestorations]

I will absolutely call someone else's work amateur when they use amateur products and techniques. Please tell me what imperfections you see. I could give plenty of examples of furniture having flaws straight from the factory. I like to think I correct those mistakes. Thank you for being concerned about my safety.

[@debbiechristian506]

Why aren’t you wearing gloves while you work with these chemicals?

[@MadManRestorations]

Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't. Not every chemical is dangerous.
