You are refreshing. No crazy music. Straight to the point. And very informative. Thank you!

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thanks for watching!

[@jeffj2495]

100% agree. THANK YOU for not adding crappy background muzak.

[@janetanderson8719]

deborah renee this is so true! And his voice is also soothing and he only speaks about necessary information.

[@CatskillsGrrl]

The lack of music is so refreshing. Plus I love his voice.

[@ChiefWindyCheeks]

I’m a thrift store junkie and pass many potential projects due to lack of space and free time. These videos are a great way to pass the time... and get a DIY “fix”

[@BatmanPwnage]

Idk why but the thrift stores near me cost a fortune. They sold a scratched up crib for 300. A crib new is around 300. The furnitures were around 500. I went to a furniture store and bought my sons new dresser for 500.

[@calmheart1782]

BatmanPwnage ...Wow! They’re getting away with ‘robbery’!

[@Badenhawk]

We all seem like a bunch of drug junkies when we think this way haha, what's wrong with us!!!! This piece turned out so good.

[@nicolle2126]

The grain on the veneer looked so beautiful and the end product was just stunning! I love how warm the piece looked at the end

[@LazyDaisyDay88]

It just gladdens my heart to see another piece of furniture restored rather than dumped into landfill. I absolutely love watching your videos - you are inspiring me to have a go myself. I think I will visit a thrift shop this weekend (starting small obviously!) haha! Thanks for another great vid.

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thanks for watching.

[@cyan8181]

I feel like you're the thrifted furniture equivalent of those photographers who take the "after" pics of shelter dogs once they've been groomed spoiled. Love your videos.

[@JamieSmith2020]

qoq you bought it for $25 and changed the value to $1000 SO beautiful. I would totally buy this off of you

[@YayaTo2]

Your videos are so relaxing, and remind me of being a kid, sitting in the garage watching my father refinish furniture.

[@calebwaynejensen1640]

I used danish oil on a maple mid-century dresser a while back and it turned out beautiful too. It really works for highlighting beautiful wood veneers.

[@ryancastle2660]

I’m so jealous of how many great deals you find at thrift stores.

[@adamarmijo7367]

Ryan Castle I hear ya!!! living in Santa Fe NM that piece at savers thrift store easy $125-150!

[@MKMcDonald287]

Adam Armijo wow! Really? Why would that be?

[@carolannhook554]

I live in the Twin Cities too, and I see pieces like this. It just makes me appreciate how much work our friend here is doing. If I bought something like this, I'd have to just sand some spots smooth and paint over it...which is okay, but nowhere near as beautiful as the work we see here. I'm sorry you don't see more pieces to try to do this on your own. On the other hand, keep checking the thrift stores...I'm amazed at all the things I've found over the years.

[@boa9535]

Ryan Castle: I wouldn’t be surprised the thrift store saves things for him because he’s such a regular.

[@FHDTV]

@@salcedomark Albuquerque doesn't seem to have too much in the thrift stores as far as mid century modern since I've last checked

[@shageevideo]

I appreciate the simplicity of your videos and especially no curse words. I can watch with the kids in the room

[@jimconvery903]

Absolutely beautiful! I've refinished about 25 mid-century pieces of varying complexity and he hits on all the key issues I've discovered, especially NOT to use a powered sander on the edges of any piece. He also mentions how after stripping and sanding, you usually reveal some solid wood parts that are a different species and color and I've also had to use stain to adjust for that. And I also love Danish oil! The difference with me is that I like to apply once and then 2 applications of lacquer or polyurethane for durability. And yes - thrift stores often damage pieces in transport or even within the store :-( When I purchase something, I ask the employee to use my moving blankets and I tip the guy or woman $3-5 as a thank you if they do what I ask. I've become friendly with a few employees :-)

[@dmack1443]

Very watchable uploads... no messing around...no music...and great results. Thanks.

[@IshikaShanai]

I had to do a double take at the finished result. It turned out so gorgeous that I couldn't even remember what it used to look like. You did a fantastic job!

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thanks! You never know what’s hiding under the old finish.

[@annpane1227]

Absolutely beautiful. Love the checkered design.

[@AA-hg7xq]

These are fun and educational to watch. Good voice over, no music, details when appropriate. Thanks for your efforts.

[@creativepotato816]

This piece turned out exceptionally gorgeous 🤩 I could watch these videos all day, your work is so thoughtful and beautiful!

[@jglow8337]

Breathtaking again! Thanks

[@zloungeact]

"Shot some glue into the crack" 🤣

[@deborahmerriman2314]

i am glad you rescued it ! its beautiful i think we throw things away to much i am glad you showed it can be great again

[@MegaBlahblah212]

Danish oil for the win! Just used some myself to even out a desk refinish. Great work!

[@GeneralBoboDK]

Did anyone else notice the chipmunk, running in the background? :) Ps. Top notch work, as always...

You make everything look brand new!! Astonishing!

[@molossergirl2]

I restored a 1960's retro Danish teak floor lamp with Danish oil and it came up beautifully. Love Danish oil I use it on my outside wooden furniture as well. Love your videos, I am a restoring freak!

[@kellerrobert80]

Isn't that a law in Denmark, using Danish oil on Danish teak while eating a Danish?

[@brendarainey4786]

I love watching your attention to detail. Stunning out come

[@madiola1234]

love!...that wood grain is stunning.

[@sharonan1]

I love your work and videos. Grew up with midcentury modern. Thank you.

[@danidilay5430]

I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel. I am learning a lot. Thank you for sharing your work, trails and errors.

[@parkeranderson7086]

What a stunning piece!!!!! Beautiful job!!!

[@joejdl]

Another great restoration, good job! I hate it when manufacturers change a perfectly good product...you should let them know the new formula isn’t as good as the old, and they’ve lost a customer...

[@ytwos1]

Joe D we can’t even buy that kind of stripper over here (regulations). Probably the US is also tightening up their regulation?

[@dangermartin69]

They can't help it. Liberals regulate everything that works and subsidize everything that doesn't.

[@Yellow.Dog.]

You can thank california here in the US.

[@theMoporter]

Looks beautiful! One of my favourite projects.

[@alicemallorythomas]

Absolutely stunning!!! What an incredible job ♥️ wow

[@pashabvr]

Wow! This piece turned out to be stunning! Beautiful work as usual.

[@bback4078]

I’m refinishing a MCM 9 drawer dresser and appreciate your videos on all the scenarios that come up in the repairs.

[@pteddie6965]

This was an enjoyable video to watch for me. Thanks for sharing it. Broyhill furniture was very popular with my parents and their friends when I was growing up. My parents would have loved to have this credenza in our living room.

[@leanneevans4080]

Beautiful veneer; I love the Danish Oil finish. Great job!

[@bloggalot4718]

Lovely piece of furniture, thanks for uploading.

[@jodidavis6595]

You are amazingly talented. Gosh I think this one is my favorite wood combo. Love that Danish oil. Beautiful

[@sandyjones7371]

That is a beautiful piece, nice job.

[@janelane2657]

the color appeared just gorgeous and the pattern appeared on the entire surface and front details, very cool

[@ashford4884]

You are gifted indeed!

[@deborahhertz543]

Great choice of finish, it really lets the grain shine. And thanks for sharing the info about Danish oil.

[@pebblesthecat3625]

The finished piece looks absolutely stunning ! You should definitely do more projects like this.

[@dragonmaid1360]

Beautiful, that finish gives it a really nice rich deep hue. Lovely

[@robertabrown2152]

Beautiful job. Excellent work. It turned out lovely.

[@TygerTigerable]

from bland to grand, what a beautiful restoration!

[@katharinatrub1338]

How fantastic, you have such a knowledge of Products and how to use them and on what surface. Honestly, the restoration you do, makes each furniture look far better than it was when it was new!

[@VespaRider93]

Awesome results on every job, keep up the good work!! 👌👌

[@barbaracorbell4232]

THIS MAKES MY HEART SING. IT'S GORGEOUS!!!!!

[@erikwhateveryou]

[@beatrizlopes1377]

This is one of my favorites! It turned out so good and it looks expensive!

[@rcdoodles6214]

Wow. What a beauty! This summer I picked up a mid century Broyhill Saga hutch in super condition. It looks lovely in my kitchen. Broyhill made some great pieces and your credenza now restored is clearly one of them. Great work!

[@lizday8140]

Beautiful! I see so many things on Facebook Marketplace that you would enjoy refinishing. I wish I could save them all for you!

[@retap3717]

Great job. Keep up the quality work. I appreciate the work you are doing.

[@jackfive565]

Lovely work as usual, and also an equally lovely piece of furniture.

[@virginiasoskin9082]

I could practically hear the wood sucking up that oil. It really brought out the grain and those framed panels look awesome. Nice job!

[@jesseburch7063]

God, Steven, that is such a lovely restoration! Great job!

[@albarodriguez7624]

As usual it’s gorgeous. Wish I could find one like it.

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@MKMcDonald287]

I love your patience and all your projects! I do remember my mom using stripper on her antique finds and scraping and scraping and scraping. She had a big assed electric sander so she had to do a lot of hand sanding as well. I’ve been given an old washstand from her with a drawer and a little door underneath. I’ve been debating what to do for a couple years. She has refinished it but that was like in the 70’s. I believe it’s oak, or partly. The top of the washstand is quite nice actually but it has had the old 1-2 coats of varnish on it from days gone past. I’m afraid of ruining it somehow, so when I finally have the courage to update it, I’ll be following your channel.

[@Cradley684]

Great Job as usual, have a nice day !!!.

[@Jaqcarrera]

Wowza! Your uploads are so satisfying.

[@susieq7552]
