Removing Black Stains In a Vintage Dresser | Furniture Repair & Restoration

In this video I use oxalic acid to remove a black stain in a vintage dresser. I then refinish the entire piece.

I absolutely detest those pointy legs! They always seem to break on every piece that I ever owned with that type of leg!

[@mccommas2]

Sander, Stripper, Scrapper! I like your sense of humor!

[@vickiefowler1429]

And Dashnerds everywhere are rejoicing at finally getting to see the face behind “the voice”! Congrats on your 100th video! The dresser turned out great!!!

[@dianeleirer9878]

My thoughts, too.😊

[@marissamadsen]

oh my god i am such a Dashnerd

[@gwenscoggins1]

I agree!

[@andredamasio5186]

It's a pleasure to get to see you, congrats on the 100th video, I think I've seen them all, thanks for sharing your work/art, it's really cool what you do!

[@lobitome]

Catching glimpses every now and again was fun, but seeing the full face was a big surprise. What a great piece to do your 100th video on. Looked great in the end install too.

[@chazzyb8660]

"My - you are a handsome devil" Mr Dashner! It's funny how when imaging a face to fit the voice I always get it so very wrong, but in a good way I hope? Congrats on 100 episodes - looking forward to the next century. The TV cabinet looks good too, your treatment really brung out the grain, and I liked the gentle reverse bow front from the start. Great to have the original handles too.

[@ephphathaoracle]

What they said 😉

[@ravenreese]

I literally gasped when I saw your face!! I’ve seen every single one of your videos, some of them multiple times, and I’m super happy to see that your channel is doing well. Thanks for the treat. And congrats!

[@booboobingbang]

❤️

[@mustang-hovercraft]

C'mon, how dashing is Dashner?! Funny how one builds an image of how someone might look, and I'm always way off lol! Followed you right from the beginning. So wonderful to see your passion, knowledge, and work-ethic. Your videos are my comfort viewing, and somewhat of a motivator... Thanks & all the best for the future.

[@nuwavboy]

Congrats!!! 15:15 put the biggest smile on my face this morning! Your videos are the equivalent of my Saturday morning cartoons from my childhood. ❤

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thanks!

[@tanyaprice202]

Omg! Such a pleasant surprise seeing you finally! Congratulations on 100! Love how this piece turned out and can’t wait to see more videos in 2023! Always enjoy watching you work!

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@calgal8915]

Anytime I need a chill moment I watch you and relax to your soothing voice. Really appreciate your videos.

[@bluecurlygirl]

@@calgal8915 I'm 52 with severe anxiety. I echo this. Some days I feel like my head could explode and then I go and watch either Dash here or Barry over on Mad City Modern. Their pace of work, care and attention to detail, editing skills and gorgeous soft voices have a wonderful soothing effect. They should be on prescription.

[@tanyacornell1073]

All the Dashnerds are going to flip for your 100th video! The TV console turned out beautiful 😍

[@stuartt455]

The final reveal was worth waiting for .... and of the dresser too. Congratulations on your 100th video, the relative peace and quiet apart from the sound of tools on wood and your calming voice doing the narration makes your videos a delight to watch.

[@LL-sw7qj]

Congratulations on 100 episodes! So nice to put a face on all the great videos! I have learned a lot from you.

[@WisconsinWanderer]

It’s so satisfying to watch you transform these pieces into workable art! That worked out really well under your TV btw! And now we now what the artist looks like! Thanks for the video ☮️👊

[@awr2217]

A toast to Dashner Design & Restoration. It's quite an accomplishment considering how many shows come and go. Looking forward to the next 100 shows. The dresser looks really sharp under the television, nice job.

[@TiberiusBell]

The face behind my favorite restoration channel. Greetings from Germany

[@ava_f]

Kind of exciting to see the face behind the voice we've been listening to all these years!! Congrats on a milestone.

[@sarahrenfrow9795]

Hadn’t read any comments, so when a person came before the camera, I thought I had bumped my iPad or something! Nice to met you, sir, and congratulations on your 100th video. I have seen them all. I would tell you that you look younger than I thought, but that would only tell you that you have a partial audience of old ladies. True story! I will say that you have an unbelievable amount of knowledge of wood and what to do with it for a man of your age.Love that piece, the way you repaired it, and the way you are using it. Hey! Thanks again for the treat. Enjoyed, as always.

[@jacquelerock6938]

Dude, 100 videos, congratulations! 🎉. My wife and I like to watch so we can plan for our own furniture scavenging adventures. We’ve seen most of your videos and they are always an inspiration. It’s nice to put a face to the voice. It totally freaked us both out. 😮😄. We look forward to your next 100 videos, and keep up the great work.

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

It freaked me out a bit, too, haha. Thanks for watching!

[@ninoskae]

Ikr?!

[@TheElfay]

Thank you for your dedication to both things: restoration and slogging through KZbin to make nice videos. I enjoy learning how to care for old things. But truthfully, I'm from MN and have been away a lot of years and I watch to soothe a feeling. And listen to snow crunching. ❄️😊

[@glenntroost1371]

So good to finally put the face to the voice/body. Thank you for saying hello in honor of this milestone, and thank you for your soothing, entertaining, and informative videos. Your talent is truly a joy to watch.

[@jgorry69]

Now that is what I call a reveal 🙂!!!! Love your videos and I have learned so much for your instructions. Thank you!!!

[@PuraFilmus]

I immediately sat up straight when your face came on screen, I always wondered what you looked like. Thank you for your video's, I really enjoy them and you inspired me to restore furniture myself.

[@katydidiy]

The original cabinet appears to have been well made and worth the effort. I'd be proud to have this piece in my home. Thanks!

[@luisvelasco316]

Happy Hundred. As soon as you mentioned it, I knew this dresser would be great for your intended purpose as it looks similar to what I have my TV on. Great to know there are 100 videos out there since I know there must be a few I haven't seen. Now I can get a few more moments of Zen!

[@aquariuslady777]

The piece of furniture looks great and congrats on your 100th video! As a freelance photographer I was just thinking you were camera-shy this whole time LOL

[@beverlyw56]

What a treat to see your expressive face. I so appreciated your videos during the pandemic and was encouraged to keep at my own basement refinishing projects. There is always something new to learn.

[@bluecurlygirl]

You're right Dash, it DOES look good. And ya know what else looks good? Your face! OMG I'm shooketh. All the times myself and others have said "oops, careful they're dash, you almost showed your face there!" and then you just quietly reveal yourself without fanfare. Good to see ya young man. Love your new credenza. Cheers.

[@Flecha57]

I finally sit down to watch the video. I was strongly opposed to the face reveal, but I have to admit that is nice to see the face behind the wonderful voice. Of course, it had to be in a comedic fashion. You really cracked me up with your "strenuous" surface cleaning. Congratulations on your 100th video. The "dresser" looks fantastic, great job! 👏👏👏

[@StuckinMO]

Whoa! FINALLY! The (handsome) man behind scraper! Nice to see you. I restored a similar buffet/dresser, and I can't believe MORE people haven't discovered that these mid-century pieces are the perfect width and height for under an entertainment system. Sooo much better than those ubiquitous and gross particle board TV stands. Looks great!

[@tamnywheeler4689]

Another great piece. Your eye for color matching is truly a gift.

[@moonchildjs59]

Nice to see the face behind the soft relaxing voice. Excellent work Mr. Dashner!

[@tufthome]

Pleased to finally meet you, Mr Dashner! Thank you for sharing all of your time, efforts and talent. Good show!

[@jarlyjarly]

Aaah so nice to finally attach a face to that fantastic voice of yours! Thanks for all the videos, and big congrats on 100th episodes!

[@isthisthat]

HI-LA-RI-OUS 🤣 loved the thumbnail, the reveal and everything about this. Great sense of humor! And the best restorations as always! 👍

[@cathyb2204]

Celebrating unpainted furniture for 100 episodes! Contratulations on the milestone.

[@maibritton2882]

Love the shape of that dresser and great way to think outside the box! Honestly I think true viewers really dont care what you look like they just enjoy the process.

[@alisonburgess345]

Great to see you finally!! To this day I use a table every day that I restored using your techniques. It was a great little rescue, as was this project. 🎉

[@a.r.g.1478]

Bit of a belated Christmas gift, finally putting a face to the man behind the voice! I've watched all your videos and learned a ton and I'll be looking forward to watching the next 100 videos too. Thanks for sharing your time and energy with us all.

[@pattyaguirre3103]

Omgoodness!! The face behind the voice!! Love it, so glad to see you. Thank you for the process & beautiful pieces you've done. Congratulations on 💯 🎉

[@TheTobias81]

It looks great without the legs, much better than before. Great video again, nice to meet you finally. :) Looking forward to the next 100 videos.

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank You!

[@deadiemeyers1661]

I am a creator in other mediums, and I have never done any woodworking. But I am absolutely mesmerized by your videos! Thanks for sharing your work. (Your successes and your challenges!) It’s obvious that you take great pride in your craft. And…it’s a pleasure to see your face today! 🧔‍♂️

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@LavenderDaisies]

It was truly a pleasure to feel like I finally met you! Haha. I have watched and loved your videos for a least a couple years. And I think I’ve gone back and watched all them by now. I appreciate all that I have learned from you. If ever I run into a refinishing issue, I go back through your videos to find a solution. I think I’ve always found it. The dresser turned out beautiful. And looks fantastic without the legs. Thanks for all of your great videos and the extensive amount of time you spend on filming them.

[@hpot53]

Lovely piece and fits perfectly under the TV. Glad to finally see you. Cheers!

[@riamuller4778]

Congrats on the 100th video!!!while watching I - per usual - was trying to get a peak at the face behind those soothing video and then you just appeared! 😂✌️♥️ thanks for creating amazing content, explaining everything you do so well and giving so many vintage pieces a new life ✌️

[@foodforthegods]

Good to see you, Mr Dashner! Here's to 100 more! 🎉

[@SparrowStockwell]

That credenza looks just right in that space! It turned out very nicely.

[@LLopez-sx1jr]

"Oh, hi there!" DASHNER! Look at you!!!! This made my day. And your credenza/TV console/dresser looks great. Thank you for all you do. 😊

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thanks for watching!

[@Hanzilla75]

Congratulations on 100 videos, great to see you from behind the camera. Greetings from a fellow garage furniture rescuer from Copenhagen, Denmark 🙂

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thanks for watching!

[@leelioux]

Congrats on your success and your 100th video! What an accomplishment! Your channel was the first furniture restoration channel I found on YT when you had only done a handful of videos. I love that you focus on MCM and take such care to bring them back to life. I grew up in Toronto with European parents, and our whole house was full of Scandinavian teak MCM furniture. I still have the dining set we had when I was a kid. It must be 50+ years old and could use some love. 😂 I look forward to your next 100 videos! Cheers! 🥂

[@ms6turbo]

Congrats on 100, I've been watching quite awhile and enjoy your work! Here's to 100 more. 🍻

[@caroltanzi29]

Well, you did a great restoration job on that dresser. And from my point of view,(interior designer) it looks very good as a credenza under your TV. Excellent! Carol from California

[@cady.moriarty]

Hello! It is always so nice to see you, thank you for 100 episodes!

[@ces1932]

Nice surprise to see your face, congratulations on your 100th episode.

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank You!

[@beverleyshaver864]

Thanks for the nice surprise. I really enjoy watching your videos. Hope you do 100 more.

[@delyda]

YAY!!! WE GOT TO SEE YOU! What a delightful treat. The console looks amazing!!

[@moldingpro7208]

I have seen all of the videos and every once in awhile we would get a fleeting glance at your face. It is good to see a handsome face to go with the voice. The dresser looks great under the TV. Great job!

[@jennynations7676]

You answered so many questions I was asking during this episode. First, the legs, I think it looks better without them. Second, what do you look like in real life? I think you have a soothing voice and like your videos for that reason just as much as for the content. Nice face to go with your soothing voice. Thanks for answering without hearing me ask.

[@amandaclarke4988]

Love that I can put a face to the voice. Thanks for sharing. Over the years you have given me inspiration and excellent practical help. Hope to see many more videos ❤

[@gondolin12]

so nice to meet you, been falling asleep to your voice for years now. Not to mention the brilliant work that you do . I’ve learned so much from you. Thank YOU for making these videos. Have a nice one.

[@waterbitten]

Same!

[@js-wj8si]

Looking good! Love the videos they help me so much. Got terminal cancer and I'm thankful for your channel! Love those blue eyes! Congratulations on your 100th episode!!

[@Max-hw6lv]

Thanks for 100 informative and relaxing videos and here's to many more!

[@dianes4858]

Congrats on your 100th episode! What fun to finally put a face with the voice. 🙌 That piece is absolutely fabulous! You are such a craftsman. Love your channel.

[@michaeltreadwell777]

Brilliant - 100 videos AND we actually get to see the face behind the voice ! Your videos are always so calm and calculated, and the results are excellent. I've learned a lot from you - usefull tips of the trade too. Thank you so much for the time you spend in creating such interesting content for us to enjoy. Take care - from England 🙂

[@rirkc]

I see we're both still rocking the original Sonos Playbar and sub. Can't go wrong with that! Great video installment. Thanks.

[@michaelcaselli2716]

Congrats on your 100th video! Looking forward to many, many more!

[@MrsJax304]

Wowowowow. What a surprise! Congratulations on your milestone. And the credenza turned out great for your tv wall. And I'm still admiring your snow.

[@aleciahansen7859]

In a world of noisy KZbinrs, you are a breath of fresh air. Cheers!

[@slrobby8662]

Oh my goodness! We get to see you after 100 episodes! Thanks! and as always...beautiful work! Congrats on the 100!

[@toriam15]

It turned out beautiful, and fits under your tv perfectly. Nice to put a face to the voice. Congratulations on 100 videos 🎊🎊🎊

[@micheydevita183]

Perfect use for dresser, great space. I noticed green was perpendicular to the wood green on the floor. I really like that contrast and I don’t know how you work out in the cold. It is very brave of you thank you and keep making more videos.

[@markwellington1254]

Thank you for your expertise in wood refinishing. It helped me to do a few pieces myself including my grandmother's secretary desk from 1915.

[@valeriehowden471]

Congrats on your 100th video. Good to meet the face behind the hands! The piece definite works in that space.

[@Hall102]

Congratulations on your 100th video and great to put a face to the voice. You are one of my most favorite youtubers!!

[@raymart86]

Congrats on the 100th episode! Enjoyed seeing the piece come back to life. Looks great with the TV!

[@sandrashort1221]

I bought this same bedroom suite with walnut veneer at Sears in 1968. The set was a double bed, chest of drawers, dresser that had 6 drawers, night stand, and a large mirror on the dresser. It survived 6 moves in 45 years. I finally set it out on the curb due to needing lots of repairs, broken legs, puppy chews, fading, and broken drawer slides. I hoped some one who loved mid-century modern furniture took it and restored it.

[@misterfinerthings]

Congrats on your 100th video Dash. They've all been a joy to view. Educational and entertaining content is hard to come by! To your next 100.

[@maryperner9625]

Great reveal!😄 The credenza looks wonderful too. Congratulations on your 100th video. I've watched and enjoyed most of them and appreciated the ways you share your decision making process as you work. Best of luck in 2023.

[@bren70ssss94]

It looks great under the tv and you will have lots of storage for all sorts , nice to see you at the end dude 😊

[@LewHarriman]

Dang! 100 videos! That's a lot, given your always impeccable structure, soothing and complete narration and of course your excellent audio-video quality. And me being a visual learner, I also appreciate seeing your face, which (oddly) helps cement your great information and advice in my brain. And as long as I'm commenting, I have also meant to tell you how I always admire your ability to "not get lost in fancy tools." You get such superb results from the most ordinary tools-it's a constant inspiration. Skill and knowledge is important, fancy tools and chemicals... not so much. Thanks, Man.

[@sfn4702]

The Wizard of Ox! Congratulations on the milestone!

[@peztopher7297]

Hey, nice to see you! The credenza looks wonderful! Lovely grain lines.

[@bhgemini]

Looks great there. Loved the surprise at the end. Congratulations on 100 videos!

[@beeonthyme5760]

Been following you for years. Congratulations on 100 videos. I know they are hard work. Harder than the actual refinishing. Moving camera angles, editing, voice overs,etc . I appreciate your dedication to produce good content.

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank You.

[@storeytwinb]

Yay! You look much like I thought you would. It's nice to see you! My husband and I really enjoy your videos. Thank you 😊

[@jaytitus902]

YOU'VE CHANGED! Not in a bad way. It used to be that when I saw a new vid from you it would be all "SHH Shh, master at work." It now has a more "Joe any guy feel" . Mind you I still put on a collared shirt and tie to watch but, I laugh more. Good to see your face. There are a few of you that I hold in high regard; Barry (Mad City) Angie (Transcend). These are the vids I refer others to. Congrats on 100. Keep up the great work. Almost makes me feel like I can clean up a spot and work in winter in WY. ALMOST.

[@mascottie]

I’ve probably watched most of your videos and this is the first time I’ve ever seen you. Thank you!

[@JamieCormier]

Yayayayay!!! I have been so curious what you look like! Thank you for sharing your face with us. Congratulations on your 100th video! 🥰

[@mattmurdock6488]

Thank you, I always look forward to your videos. They have sparked my appreciation for wood working and refinishing. Congrats on 100 videos and keep them coming.

[@locogreen915]

That was quite the surprise at the end. Good job like always. I’ll love to see the transformation of each piece.

[@kathysims8124]

It looks perfect in that spot!! Great job.

The surprise worked! Nice to meet you!

[@karenzibert6214]

[@lauriegregorylgregory6315]

Great job once again. Congrats on 100. My curiosity about what you look like has now been satisfied !

[@theshrike8382]

You have a very calming voice. Thanks for making relaxing videos ☺️

[@antoinefauxpas]

Congratulations! Another awesome job. I think I'd still prefer it on short legs, but it works without them as well. Keep up your amazing work, this is easily one of the absolute best restoration-channels here on KZbin. Great tips, great furniture, no senseless clickbait stuff, just mindful and very skilled restorations.
