Mid Century Thonet Chair Refinish | Restoration | ASMR

In this video I refinish a Thonet bent plywood chair.

[@djbehnkevideo]

Great job! Maybe consider adding a before and after shot at the end so that your work can really pop?

[@TattiePeeler]

It's always surprising how much damage is just the finish.. and not the wood itself.

[@MTA3]

The scraping on this one was so satisfying

[@recessivegenius6630]

Yes, like ASMR

[@cyan8181]

I love your videos on so many levels. I like seeing "discarded" items being brought back to life. But I really love how you talk through the process you follow and how you're going to address each issue. I'm not a refinisher, but I never miss any of your videos!

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you so much!

[@MetaMarcy21]

Same!

[@smileofthecentury]

the chair looks happy.

[@MeTheUglyDuck]

I love your channel! Every step is well explained and your videos are straight to the point. If I could give you some constructive advice, it only would be that it would be nice if you would include the products used in the description box. As a beginner, one is often overwhelmed with all the different products in stores. :/ Other than that I think you do a great job! :)

[@TheCuriousNoob]

The scraping of the old finish is so satisfying to watch. The voice is just a bonus!

[@leozmaxwelljilliumz3360]

Blows my mind the difference before and after stripping. Love that you refinish/repair this stuff. Hidden gems if you have the time, patience, and skill

[@susanphend2189]

What a beautiful finish for a gorgeous chair!

[@chadsperandeo7626]

Without guidance refinishing a piece of furniture could be serious messy stuff. Your comprehensive videos make it so easy, and so zen! Thank you!

[@indie825]

Nice. Love see old furniture being brought back to like.

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thanks for watching.

[@roccosophie6498]

So beautiful. Furniture is, a work of art. Thank you for keeping art alive.

[@PlantBia]

[@ladya1953]

Another great project!

[@debrabaum2020]

Your very welcome keep them coming 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@michellea.3575]

I've learned so much from your videos. I'm inspired to refinish a Lane cedar chest I bought on Craigslist after watching you. Thanks for sharing your techniques!

[@tomokawai495]

The furniture of the tree revives again and again. It is a wonderful job.

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you.

[@avivamae5171]

What an understated yet beautiful chair. Great job man, you really brought it back to life. Cheers!

[@kathycourtney7958]

As always, informative and enjoyable!

Such a satisfying video to watch. Thanks!

[@laurensouthgate2458]

Great job I’m so glad I found this.

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thanks for watching.

[@joser1219]

I always enjoy your videos.

[@alvaropipa]

Thanks a lot for your inspiring work and for sharing it online! Trying to get started in this craft and your projects (and mostly, they way you explain them) are super didactic.

[@jodidavis6595]

Well…that looks like a chair maybe a student sat in while in industrial arts class. Very nice

[@susangage9140]

Seriously you are an artist!

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@ad5fk00]

Good looking chair.

[@prbt-nw9bq]

I would totally buy furnitures from your store if i lived close by. Great work as always!

[@christinealdret1209]

You are a very good teacher. 🙏🏻🌹

[@ellenmcarthur4599]

Another total ASMR relaxation session. This man’s videos are so enjoyable and satisfying. Beautiful restorations.

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you.

[@mmarcelocassia]

We need to see the author of so many great restorations!! Film yourself too. Great job!

[@johanizquierdo9111]

Another great restoration 👌🏻👌🏻

[@gvisioned]

This makes me wanna try it out

[@cheyannealb1278]

You make it look so easy!😃 Great job. 👍🏽

[@ryanferguson8673]

He lives in NE Minneapolis. He's been shoveling snow the last two months. Every. Day.

[@llbsidezll]

Nice work Jeans! I'll be sure to try it out..

[@NoJusticeNoPeace]

I have to admit that I prefer a patina and the aesthetic of abuse and wear. I found a coffee table which had been left in someone's backyard in the rain for years and the top was covered in rot. I fell in love with it instantly. I took it home and roughly abraded the rot away with some steel wool, gave it a rough sanding with 400 grit, and left the scratchy, half-destroyed original finish. Then I just sealed it in polyurethane. I love the look of it, but everyone else wrinkles their nose and asks me why I don't strip it and refinish it. If I wanted something that looks pristine, I'd just buy Ikea. I love the patina of honest decay, rust, and wear brought on through time and functional use.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

You'd love rat rods then. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaann2uIgM2nfsU

[@Cradley684]

Look's nice , good job !!!

[@jfree4513]

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thanks for watching.

[@magentaangel5531]

The chair looks happy now...😀

[@tylerblythe4458]

another good one.

[@amydiericks7139]

Great work!

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@danidilay5430]

After seeing the finish taken and still damp 100% difference. Wow

[@sebastiangalilea2902]

Great Job, i love you work!!!

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@KyAl2]

Really enjoy your videos and your taking the time to make them.

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thanks for watching.

[@runejohannsen6599]

Great job, amazing :)

[@QuippersUnited]

Thank you for making these videos! They're very informative (as I intend to try some restoration projects in the future) as well as a pleasant, relaxing watch. :D

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@GR46404]

It is amusing how designs like this, which were once futuristic, are now dated. And it is a pleasure to see a useful thing cleaned and restored to use and attractiveness. Thank you.

[@MrWhiskeycricket]

this style of chair is still made and incredibly popular - hardly dated.

[@airingcupboard]

Superb as usual. Great channel. Please make more if you can!

[@nancyfahey7518]

Never knew why I didn't like those chairs until you said they were made with plywood. Maybe the color too. Or maybe that was the chair I sat in down the hall from my classroom cause I didn't do my homework. Turned out real nice.

[@vickiefowler1429]

Nicely done! And, you have a very soothing voice!

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@jamesrobertstclair]

The most cavalier moment in this entire project happens at 2:05

[@vanekirk]

Extra points for use of the word cavalier!

[@pashabvr]

Pretty

[@TashasTattoos]

I love DIY. Try it out!

[@cindyedwards6924]

I have 4 of these chairs in my garage. They were painted navy blue. I have thought about stripping them, but I chicken out every time. Maybe I'll be brave someday. Nice work.

[@LadyLuvGemStones]

👍🏻👍🏻 You ARE Good 💖💖💖💖💖

[@debrabaum2020]

Beautiful 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@jesseburch7063]

First off, you're a goddamn artist. That's gorgeous work. Second, I love that you've leaned in to the whole ASMR thing.

[@StandFast1611]

Watch it buddy, God's last name isn't damn.. *"..every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.."* [Matt 12:36 KJV]

[@Baronvonbadguy3]

@@StandFast1611 lmao did that make you feel better?

[@deliuslyndon8340]

So lovely, as always sir

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you.

[@RegstarRogstar]

i envy your collection a lot haha. where can i find mid century vintages around here? not anywhere... haha. still, youve done these pieces a lot of justice too. its so nice to watch and listen to you

[@deborahmerriman2314]

very beautiful work

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@davidmcivor2761]

Beautiful restoration, the chair reminds me of the Eames low dining chair, it’s probably a cheap knock off, but with your love & care it’s brought back to life again, what would a full set of six look like !

[@MrPhotodoc]

ASMR indeed.

[@1959Berre]

Nice job, really. Though, the color difference surprises me. Usually you strive for equal colors.

[@cherrieluu4590]

feel like I was click baited to think the chair was metal!! anyways, great video!

[@debrabaum2020]

Where have you been?I love your videos 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Huluwhy]

Gorgeous! You should put “ASMR” in the title! Would probably get a lot more views!

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thanks! I do get a lot of comments about ASMR. I'll try putting it in the title.

[@brockwilson5485]

What is ASMR?

[@Plantgarden88]

I 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚your videos!!!💯👍💚

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@yaa63]

😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@westsidetillidieog]

Love it when you speak.

[@monsterteaparty]

I enjoyed your video very much. I am attempting a project like this for the first time - would you be able to list the exact products you used in the project? Thank you!

[@TOPOM42]

God I miss the old citrus strip.

[@ibaber]

Great job as always. I have a question for you. Do you use different types of wood stripper for different types of wood/project? Just wonderding if some are stronger than others.

[@tomasviane3844]

Nice chair and nice restoration! What did you do with the underside of the chair? Did you allign it or used nicer uniform screws? Also, nice tip to use the soldering-thing to even out the dents in the wood!

[@TBaker-dx1vc]

Love your videos! Did you get this chair at a thrift store?

[@charlestrubl]

He describes this chair like he’s describing me

[@letusthumbwrestle]

Hi. What do you use for video editing? Beautiful work all around

[@ethansena]

Try it out

[@jeffcuevas5918]

Next time use some red stains and paint stars and rainbows on it...perhaps a unicorn!

[@lauraesyates]

Could you add in what products you use to the description box? Would be really helpful for my own projects. Thanks!

[@velmasbitch]

How do you decide between using the white Klean Strip Green and the regular clear Klean Strip mineral spirits? Is it just whatever you have on hand or does one work better than the other for different applications? Thanks for another great video! I just completed my first restoration inspired by you! ;)

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

If it's for cleaning, then I just use whatever is on hand. If I'm using it to thin polyurethane or stain then I would use the clear one. Thanks for watching and congrats on your first restoration!

[@claudiaguzman6092]

Hello, first of all, I love how you restore everything. I am a huge fan. I recently got a chance to buy a Cherner chair. However, it is missing some screws. Do you know how or where I can get old screws so that they are not standing out as if I were to bought normal screws in my hardware store? I hope you answer my question. Thank you.🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@UGRagtop]

Those screws are kind of high and tight like my jeans

[@beezowdoodoozoppitybopbopb9488]

This is one of the last places I'd expect a your moms house reference.

[@cooleranka9660]

0:59 the sound is like if u enter the nether

[@corinelj]

Did you use shellac with wax in it and did you dilute it with denatured alcohol?

[@benjaminpauley7823]

Where in MN are you? Greetings from the St. Cloud area

[@MrPhotodoc]

ASMR. LOL!
