Repair and Refinish a Mid Century Coffee Table | Thrift Store Rescue #27

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Hi, everyone. Thanks for watching this video. I want to let everyone know that I just launched a Patreon page for this channel. The link is in the video description. Patreon is a way for viewers of my videos to show their support for the work I do and gain access to behind the scenes updates from me. I just launched the Patreon page last month and I'm working on coming up with additional perks for Patrons. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thank you and thanks for watching.

[@abelolsen9656]

Patreon names Tier 1: Scrapers, Tier 2: Sanders, Tier 3: Lacquers?

[@peggyt1243]

How about a video showing your face to patrons only.

[@bobfesmire9721]

Maybe some deep-dive videos into materials, techniques or your knowledge of mid-century furniture, especially brands to look for.

[@loisbolton1800]

I went & checked it out. This is the first time I have been interested in becoming a Patron. Sadly, I discovered Patreonage is outside of my budget. Nevertheless I wish you continued inspiring & rewarding success with your channel, which continues to inspire & reward my viewership. 💝

[@jack8162]

Maybe you could allow the patrons to purchase something you have restored every month, like an auction maybe.

[@freedomflower315]

Not only do you do incredible work, you have the most relaxing furniture flipping/refinishing/wood working channel on KZbin. Great ASMR that I sometimes play to fall asleep to. :)

[@steelcrown7130]

I agree: most soothing, reassuring voice on the Internet!

[@veronicafowler4893]

Absolutely. Bob Ross except with a carbide scraper. 🙂

[@SockyNoob]

Agreed. Him and Baumgartner Restoration are the two channels that make actually good repair videos with speech in it, otherwise I like channels that don't say much lol

[@acaliaaidras5012]

Another beautiful piece. I watch quite a few refinishing channels but you are, by far, my favorite. I like that you explain what you're doing and don't feel the need to add distracting music as a filler. The silence helps the viewer to really focus on the work you're doing. I also love the end reveal where we can just stare at the entire finished piece, unadorned or staged. Keep up the amazing work!

[@TheDLFBeauty]

I’ve been going through pretty serious depression, but the way I squealed like a piggy when I saw you’ve posted. Thank you sir, I needed this boost of serotonin

[@ittakesavillagekelly]

Yes! Drinking my coffee and a there's a new DDR video. Day made!

[@chickenlittle6756]

Same here lol love it

[@ahujeffrey]

Gorgeous! I just love watching your work. The beauty of that Walnut veneer was outstanding and it was great that you could retain it.

[@veronicafowler4893]

As a beginning furniture restorer, in this and future videos, I'd love it if you could be more specific about the grit of sandpaper you use. I also really appreciate it when you show packages or mention specific brands of finishes, stains, etc. It helps guide my choices. Love your work!

[@Leander_]

She's a beauty! I especially like the visual contrast between the snow and the table, it makes for great presentation.

[@steelcrown7130]

Cold day there, hot night here. Greetings from Australia!

[@pou618]

Dare I say these redos look better than the factory finish. Great job.

[@LauraSomeNumber]

Just got a scraper for a windowsill in my 114 year old apartment. I had tired several other method with very little luck but with the scraping it is so easy I will be done in a day.

[@FurnitureWarriors]

Great tip on fixing that corner! Makes us think we need to think "out of the box" on ways to repair. What a simple and wonderful restoration! Thank you!

[@traceyrice]

Sometimes the simpler looking pieces of furniture turn out looking the best. This is one of those times! I love this table. Nice job! 💜

[@thomassmith6344]

Hello Tracey

[@LL-sw7qj]

Your finish is so much better than the original factory finish!

[@MsWednesdayblue]

My parents have this exact coffee table and the matching end tables. Bought 50+ years ago. Nice job restoring!

[@aok2727]

So clean and elegant

[@ShellyCline]

Now THAT'S a coffee table. And I love how uniform and cohesive you got all its parts looking. It looks great.

[@thomassmith6344]

Hello Shelly

[@kristinmcfall2686]

I thoroughly enjoy your common sense approach to every piece you save. Refreshing to see the value in these pushed-aside relics. There's incredible beauty in everything you touch. Thank you so much for the time you spend recording your talents!

[@roberthammett6795]

I think the original manufacturer would feel you made it look better than it did new. Nice work as usual.

[@flippop]

I love your work. I have been following you for one year now. First from my personal account and now from this one that hosts my Persian furniture flipping channel. You were and are one of my greatest sources of inspiration. I really, really love your work. Thanks for being there.

[@michaeltreadwell777]

Brilliant - obviously ! Such a basic table, but you made it look better than it did when new. That top is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your skills and 'tips', and for your simple but engaging explanation of what you do.

[@chrisdavis1722]

It’s a beautiful, solid piece, and great job matching the legs and apron to the top. It looks like it was always a solid piece built out of walnut. Sidenote, I looked into using wood conditioner from a few vids back and got to use it on a current project with knotty variegated pine boards, and it worked like a charm to tone down the effect of the grain once stained. Thanks for all your tips 👍

[@awr2217]

Such a simple sharp looking coffee table. The top especially looks nice. Big fan of your work and show.

[@lizday8140]

I had a slight stomach ache and thought knitting on my latest project might help. Background music? Nope. Dashner's Full Playlist for the win! My stomach ache is gone!

[@grizzzlebees]

Happy Day! Thanks for the great video, as always.

[@jamestongas3554]

Great tip on repairing that damaged corner. I always pick up something from your videos. Another beautiful job. Beautiful Walnut veneer on top. 👍

[@SOFFtv]

Your videos are a godsend for someone learning furniture restoration! Thankyou!

[@motortowncuriosites7005]

As always great work. You have an eye for color and do a great job with the stains and dyes

[@wilkie4142]

Your workmanship is great but your calm voice on the narration I could listen to all day.

[@loisbolton1800]

Lovely clean lines on this. You make renewing it look effortless. Wonderful to watch.

[@thomassmith6344]

Hello Lois

[@thebigone6969]

You’re the king of furniture restoration my g!!! The king! All my homies here in da hood love yo vids!!! You da best real talk 💯👍🏿

[@brendarotter]

so beautiful to see the pattern drawn on the table top, it was even more beautiful finished! and I loved seeing the table corner repair, amazing! ✨

[@2-_-B-_-continued]

Just the right amount of your wispy-airy touch, and like magic it's gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!

[@elizabethfaraone]

The designer of this table was thoughtful about future restoration.

[@heyhope326]

👏👏👏👏 never gets old. But my anxiety when you started sawing...😱

[@stevesmith6554]

good matching the legs to the top. I was anxious to see that outcome. Great work!!

[@robinmoore7202]

Goodness, doing this out in the cold 🥶 No garage? Great work, as always!

[@frankkayat1541]

Glad you’re back online. I enjoy your videos a lot - Thanks - Frank

[@TheRestorer]

Who knows how he does it?😮That's amazing, isn't it?👍

[@blackymaple]

Turned out beautiful.

[@kimolsen1328]

Wow..beautiful !

[@bluecurlygirl]

Fabulous. As always

[@tinamarie9047]

This turned out beautifully!

[@bebo653]

Well done.

[@roberthellebush8775]

I honestly don't know how you do this in the cold and snow.... please move to South Carolina..... We love you!!

[@mayorofthenonsense]

Wow. Nice job on a nice table. Well done!

[@MeedhooKaree]

Beautiful piece! And I’m so impressed you work no matter rain, snow or shine! 🌞

[@tonyaclaxton9169]

Very nicely done

[@kathrinekerns8398]

Beautiful.

[@markwellington1254]

Best videos on KZbin! I think your calm voice and demeanor is refreshing, as refreshing as your work with these old pieces of furniture you choose to bring back to life. No HEATED shop?

[@ymottspice]

I'm always happy to see another video from you, I always learn something new. Maybe someday you would consider refinishing an old solid wood 6 panel door? I have a few in my house that I could use some guidance with. Keep up the great work!

[@AhmetEsadYURTSEVER]

OMG it's so hard to watch it without sleeping :) so relaxing and beatiful work

[@FreedomNetwork99]

Beautiful work. TY for teaching me your decision making process as well (e.g., the sides of the table top).

[@josephkerley363]

Looking good. New life

[@TJET737]

Another great restoration. Gotta say, it is nice to watch something so relaxing. I can't pin it down whether its the tone of your voice or the absence of the annoying music that most play in the background. Whatever it is, keep it going. Nice job!

[@mudgetheexpendable]

It looks beautiful! You made it better than the original.

[@thegag64]

Nice trick with the saw on the corner!

[@Tukashrtin]

Love the channel, mate. Your videos are a nice reprieve from the terrible world we live in.

[@AVOCADO.plus.ORANGE.Vintage]

Beautiful 😍

[@janis6363]

Looks great.

[@KurtClark]

Looks fantastic! I liked how you fixed the bump in the corner. Thanks for sharing!

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you.

[@doddnejadfard3251]

Wonderful job

[@ellenl5626]

Your videos are always so informative, thank you for sharing all of your extensive knowledge and expertise! I would definitely buy any piece you worked on, having seen how much care you take to do everything properly.

[@danielgeorgsson7956]

Beautiful like always 👏🏻

[@liisashunn1812]

Anyone else loving the logo treatment of the name on the worktable?

[@luckyg3957]

Your work is excellent..finishing is excellent you restore the old piece of furniture to its original beautiful self ..A craftmanship which is becoming rare in todays modern ..fast ...busy ..life styles ..keep up d good work bro

[@gailgaddy5340]

That’s a beautiful table and you restored it to perfection. In my opinion, better than originally done. Enjoyed your video.

[@cherylowilley6007]

Beautiful

[@kentshrader6616]

A true gem of refinished furniture! Thanks for sharing!

[@nygrl6102]

Another piece rescued! Yay! Beautiful!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

You did a beautiful job!

[@PBG345]

It's a beauty ! Great job.

[@canvea]

I love the ambience and your voice. I'd love even longer and slower videos than this one as well! With less cuts. Maybe something for the Patreon?

[@cherylcarnes4207]

It's beautiful.

[@angela4469]

Looks cold where you are. We're sweltering in summer here 😎. Love your work.

[@danielb2860]

Always such a pleasure watching your work! Great save!

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@jaytitus902]

Better than new. You are being influential in the community. I am seeing more people using your methods.

[@liamfallon3139]

I really like the way You speak, as if you are Reading a poem To us At home Thanks for watching

[@dianeleirer9878]

The table is happy.

[@eamonanthony6767]

Saved another nice piece from the bonfire well done DD&R.

[@furlvr1961]

Great job as always!

[@CrypticConversions]

I listen to books being read on KZbin to fall asleep at night- things like Herodotus and Julius Caesar's Gallic Commentaries. Your voice would be good for this, it is so calming. If you read books that are in the public domain, like the ones I mentioned, there wouldn't be any copyright issues. You might get a money stream going.

[@christinealdret1209]

Beautiful coffee table 👍🏻🤗🌹

[@rocketmaaaaan]

beautiful as always!

[@katharinatrub1338]

Your table, Love-it!

[@SophieT1416]

Nice looking table.

[@barbarafling3790]

You make it look so easy, except for the cold & snow. Lo I am in Florida!

[@thomassmith6344]

Hello Barbara

[@MrPhotodoc]

Another snowy day in Minneapolis.

[@DS-qw1tp]

I was just about to search for a refinishing video and yours popped up. Yes!

[@l00tur]

Every time I go to the thrift store or restore I think of you and this channel and imagine myself refinishing a unique piece that I picked up a fair price. One day!

[@fannycraddock99]

Simple & excellent or simply excellent. Nice job.

[@maggielovestoads]

Would making a proper furniture care video be something you’d be interesting in making? Like how to maintain furniture like this, what products are fine for cleaning them, etc. although maybe that is all just basic knowledge and I don’t know it!

[@WisconsinWanderer]

It’s a good day when I get a DD video ! Thanks my friend!

[@kgal63]

You always do such beautiful work. I love it.

[@davidparocua1222]

Another beautiful job! 👍

[@NewHopeAudio]

thanks for another great video. that dye was really neat and made it seem like an easier way to match colors with 2 different woods.

[@conradfjetland4970]

Bonus points for doing this outside. :)

[@pteddie6965]

The table turned out beautifully. Thanks for sharing this video with us.

[@Lily4444]

Wauw how beautiful wood is👌

[@stoveboltlvr3798]

Looks great!!
