[@vickiefowler1429]

Outstanding! As all Dashnerds know... you play the videos with the sound turned up so you can hear "the voice"! It was a great way to start my Saturday morning!!!

[@tammym110]

I love his soothing voice too

[@nancyanneberg403]

And the help of the murder of crows telling all they see at the end. Great table. So glad you took the effort to fix and show how you did it. Thank you.

[@vickiefowler1429]

@@nancyanneberg403... OMG! I totally missed the crows! Had to go back and replay the end to hear them!

[@coleenburgess6689]

What a sexy table!! The fix you did on the legs is so cool and looks so purposeful that I could even see doing it on perfectly healthy legs as a design choice. Question....you shellaced before attaching the new veneer and I haven't seen that done before. What is the reasoning for it? Thank you.

[@vickiefowler1429]

@@coleenburgess6689 ... I wondered the same thing. I would have thought that the unvarnished wood surface would give the adhesive more grab.

[@leewood729]

Nice save. The difference in colour on the tips of the legs almost give it that "brass foot cap" effect.

[@sherrygiambalvo2288]

I came here to say the same. Great idea, and it looks even better, I think.

[@conqu2]

Totally agree. Looks awesome.

[@anthonyparkinson4517]

I continue to love your ultra-chill voiceover and the complete lack of music. Other Woodtubers take note!!

[@mikesebphoto]

Completely agree!. I absolutely despise music in these kind of videos. Or pretty much any videos!. Even if it’s not jangly and jarring, it’s always too loud.

[@mirandamom1346]

I respect your respect for the integrity of the designer’s vision. I have to admit that if that little table had fallen prey to my tender mercies, I’d have sawn off the rotten bits of leg and ended with a shorter table. It got lucky finding you!

[@jeannel1065]

Thank you for saving this lovely vintage piece from the landfill. It is beautiful.

[@karenstimson2683]

You made a silk purse from a sow's ear--spectacular restoration of a beautiful table! You rock!!!

[@Ohwhale79]

Okay, WOW. To be honest, I didn't have much hope for this piece but it turned out insanely gorgeous!

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@alansmith4734]

You were given "a lemon", and you made a "lemonade stand"!

[@sabph2308]

I love how peaceful your videos are. Never change it please ❤

[@elliepascoe5954]

Indeed!

[@goofe.washington953]

The “design” feature regarding those legs was excellent. Down here in Mississippi, we sure do enjoy your videos.

[@AskingSpot]

Well done! I was half expecting brass caps for the leg ends. What you did must have taken so much longer but looks brilliant

[@foragingadventures]

It's good to recognise when to cut your losses, good call on replacing the veneer. Great work!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Nice job Steven ! Looking brand new

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you, Jay!

[@judysanders728]

Amazing. This was literally trash to treasure. I really enjoy your channel so much. To watch the transformation of the piece of furniture is so fascinating.

[@awr2217]

Hi, Great job! Your gifts of bringing dead furniture back back to life are so impressive. The Jorgeson wood clamps that you used are so cool. The fact that it was wood, not plastic is a rare thing to see now a days. Thanks

[@HairByLillyBelle]

You can get those hand-screw clamps at Rockler

[@deadiemeyers1661]

It is a beautiful table! And, just so you know, I always enjoy the sound of the crows in your neighborhood! 😉

[@danbumgarner1057]

Thanks again for keeping something out of the landfill.

[@alanatolstad4824]

Did the fact that the table was put together with all those screws and bolts influence your decision to accept that challenge?---It's evident to me that you enjoy your hobby! I'm glad I'm in your fan club!---Does that table have a destination yet?

[@janetd4862]

Beautiful little table! New veneer was definitely the way to go. I was very impressed with how the legs turned out - they were pretty roached! So glad you could rescue another piece from my favorite era.

[@loiswood3363]

Just Beautiful! The legs looks awesome! You have so much patience and respect for the original makers of the pieces you fix up. I applaud you!

[@silverwolf5735]

Excellent restoration. Something quite old school Dashner about this video, which made it all the more enjoyable.

[@rayscrafield2106]

Another beautiful job of restoration. I learn so much by watching your videos. Thanks. I love how nice and quiet your videos are. No lousy music.

[@TheCraftyMagnolia]

Wow, it really looks nice. You would never know it was tinder! I could not really see that being saved. I like what you did with the legs too. "Design Feature" is now a new description I will be using.

[@MusicalBox]

Hard to believe it's the same table. It looks 50 years younger now. Very good job, as usual.

[@caroltanzi29]

The table looks great. That work on the bottom of the legs adds to the design. Wonderful work. Carol from California

[@michaeltreadwell777]

Looks fabulous ! The legs 'idea' was brilliant and they look great. A really lovely design of table with interesting apron design. You saved another piece from landfill - well done. Thanks for sharing your skills. Take care 🙂

[@katherineharper-sj4ys]

Oh wow. The color is spot on and the legs look great!!

[@jodidavis6595]

Wow that was genius to cut off old leg pieces to repair the rotten ones. Well done. You also make replacing veneer look easy. Well…you’re a professional sooo 👍🏼 nice save on the end table. I love it

[@MrDemi1233]

Such a great looking piece of furniture. Just a tip on the metal hardware: After removing the rust with vinegar, you can seal the surface with a (clear) lacquer to prevent it from rusting again.

[@elliepascoe5954]

That was more of a resuscitation than a restoration! And it turned out gorgeous, wow!❤🇳🇱

[@trishblakely3476]

Such a little gem! I love the cut out detail in the apron. Well worth the effort to bring it back to life!

[@remcotissink]

Incredible transformation ! it is gorgeous now...

[@mirothiel8039]

Beautiful. Amazing transformation.

[@MrLHabets]

Indeed a nice contrast at the legs. Painting it black would also do. Nice job.

[@mcgrimus1455]

Splitting the leg in order to save it? Nice. I learned a few things with this video. Awesome job.

[@renabee8246]

It looks fabulous! The bottom of the feet almost look like it has those copper coverings that some tables have. It looks really neat.

[@Estherboo1]

Beautiful work. Love the end result of the legs. Your skill and the calmness of your voice gives a great feeling of zen. Thank you.

[@jeanclaudeangri1108]

I like that you left spliced wood at the bottom a little bit lighter & didn't try and match it. It looks amazing! And it looks intentional.

[@Beruthiel45]

That's some resurrection! 😳 Amazing job, it looked beyond help. 🧡👍👍👍☺️

[@colemine7008]

Jaw dropping, WoW.

[@HeikeWoolard]

That's a beautiful little table. Thank you for rescuing it. You did a great job restoring it.

[@juliederosier-paul]

So impressed you updated the legs and they look fantastic!

[@HairByLillyBelle]

It looks absolutely beautiful!

[@lauris5708]

I knew I was going to love this table before you started working on it. The shape is so pretty, especially those little cutouts on the apron. So pretty! The legs turned out nice; love your "design choice"! Someone is going to get a really nice little table for their home.

[@creightonwest6632]

Proud to be a Dashnerd.

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@cmitchell7347]

Beautiful result! Although somewhat time consuming, great fix for the legs. The difference so subtle, yet effective.

[@andreafolda1719]

Incredible! I can’t believe the end result!

[@opticaltrace4382]

Hi. Just wanted to thank you for your videos. I struggle with anxiety and often find it hard to relax but i always can with your videos. I think its your voice. I find it very soothing. Thank you.

[@stevesmith6554]

Very nice restoration!!

[@adamfitch965]

Wow! I can’t believe how good that came out. I love the new foot caps. Clever way of solving a problem

[@patriciagraves752]

Such a lovely job, the table is now a beautiful testament of your talent.

[@carlosu8229]

I really thought you were wasting your time with that table initially. Wow!!!! You're a miracle worker with great skills!! Thank you for sharing the video.

[@Restomaniac]

Hello Steven. Great job as always. I loved it 👌👌👌

[@DigsRetro]

Such a brilliant fix for the legs! The cutouts in the apron are the only things that would have gotten me to save this table. They take it from boring to stylish.

[@debsmith2269]

Great reno, and I love the new "design feature".

[@American_Jeeper]

Looks like Broyhill’s Brasilia line. ‘Design feature”…I love it.

[@laurinutting961]

Amazing! I love that you salvaged this piece and made something beautiful out of it.

[@wilkie4142]

Brilliant job and a lovely little table. Thanks for posting.

[@conqu2]

Amazing job getting color consistency all throughout this piece!

[@uncleremus64]

Another stunning restoration. Thanks for sharing.

[@amymerrill5758]

I like the two tone look on the legs. Well done!

[@SmileCentral]

Yay! Minneapolis! I noticed your Minnesota Conservation cup... Love MN!! Your restorations are great!!

[@lancejames9228]

Glad to see the Dash still keepin on. Well done my friend

[@rwlodarczyk]

I think this is one of my favorite restorations! Nicely done. And you’re 💯 right, the legs look intentional. It reminds me a bit of a brass foot cap found on some pieces.

[@nancythomas1954]

You have a eye for this type of work that is for sure. Beautiful save! Hope you are having a great week!

[@beverlyw56]

So nice to see you in your element. Please visit us more often.

[@Snakeplisskin440]

I love the genius idea with the legs. I thought for a second you might have just done black "boots" on them but I think this way looks good also. Great work. I've been itching to refinish some tables again and you're inspiring me to do it.

[@hickorygolddoc]

That came out beautifully considering the start! I actually think the end of the legs ended up a sweet visual bonus!

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@josephkerley363]

You did it again! Very nice!

[@Restorology]

Peel & stick veneer for the win! Excellent work as always!! 🥃

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@fannycraddock99]

Great job as usual. The table looks fabulous.

Wow! That table was transformed. Nice work.

[@ZoraidaVA-b6v]

Another beast transformed into a beauty! Fabulous.

[@Timhey0912]

Very nice job! It was definitely worth saving!

[@pieterbosman6111]

Well done, indeed. Cinderella turned into a princess!

[@sebastianpinto659]

Great job with the dye and lovely detail with the legs!

[@ldianehigley3287]

Super job with the legs, it looks great now.

[@jilliedillie]

Gorgeous lines. It sure WAS worth saving.

[@nicolasgirard6691]

“Then it’s not a defect, it’s a feathure” :) amen

[@PhillipN10AC]

I really like the lines on this table, which really came into a beautiful view after your incredible restoration Thanks again for another brilliant video! I am a faithful viewer and huge fan!

[@paulabodine5317]

Excellent restoration. Beautiful table!

[@marilynnew2189]

Really nice save. You have more vision than I do.

[@salimorton641]

Beautifully done!

[@teresaogg6533]

The final result looks so good, great job!!!

[@scottcates]

Reminds me of a Lane. I like the edge bevel and the skirt cutouts.

[@Csharpflat5]

Great job ❤

[@dellagilchrist7647]

Clever trick with the thread, I'll have to remember that.

[@Laura_Brock]

Amazing transformation for this little table

[@sophiachristo7546]

Gorgeous! Beautiful legs! Thanks so much for sharing

[@lulunz6809]

That came out beautifully! Well done.

[@teret6719]

Another fabulous save, as usual. Thanks for the video!

[@Troy-ol5fk]

New legs look awesome

[@DarkFilmDirector]

0:53 It always makes me chuckle when folks use these old straw broom heads to dust things off in videos. I just take stuff outside and turn on the leaf blower.

[@jacquelerock6938]

Great save on a beautiful little table.

[@stuartt455]

You always manage to bring the richness and warmth back to the wood, yet another stunning transformation.

[@loismaddux4800]

Love the table!! Turned out beautifully!!

[@PeterRabbit000]

Magic!

[@mattsanchez4893]

Excellent job as always, probably better even than when it was new

[@chrisnorton2837]

I was sure you were going to put caps on the legs... but your solution provides a similar all wood look - nice!
