Thrift Store Rescue #24 | Refinishing, Repairing And Applying New Veneer To Thrift Store Furniture

[@Angryoyster]

Idk what it is about these videos, maybe it’s the calm simple nature but they are literally my favourite videos on earth. Maybe it takes me back to my childhood and bob Ross idk

[@ReconstructingEmily]

Staples and duct tape repair. That's new...I want your Garfield mug.

[@bennyorsomething]

Please make a million more of these videos! YOU ARE THE NEW BOB ROSS.

[@ΜαιρηΤριποδη]

You treated this lovely little furniture with such tenderness and care as if it was a living creature. I see that you really love them. ❤️❤️👍👍👍👍🇬🇷🇬🇷

[@appolop8273]

You are truly the Pablo Picasso of woodworking. Bravo!

[@grammybear4226]

🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤️ ❤️

[@respther2003]

Thank you for saving these pieces when everyone else gave up.

[@Tmrfe0962]

Wow. Such a nice simple piece. Like almost all of your work, understated pieces, that get a second life, by being remembered for exactly what they were, and now are again... A nice allegory for us humans to ponder on.

[@ImAnEmergency]

This Friday just got a lot better

[@g.d.anonymous8235]

Oh, man, I would have taken one look at this damaged piece, and put it in the kindling pile. But, your perseverance and knowledge really saved it!

[@cpearson7372]

Just creeping back in time, to see another of your wonderful antique treasures, found and restored. Thank you, Dash :)

[@nikigarza2442]

Better than new. Your patience and exactness never fails to impress.

[@stephenridenour6812]

Great work!

[@leonardodic3po607]

Nice work. Also, I like your humble and abrupt "thanks for watching" endings. A breath of fresh air from self indulgent videos with a hundred before and after shots and too much self-congratulatory blather about how well everything turned out.

[@celestewatson4874]

Spot on comment. Totally. So much to learn, so straightforward, so deeply *quiet*. Best content by far, in part because I have loved mid-century furniture way longer than it was cool to, and I've always loved natural audio. I'm going to attempt to re-veener the top of a mid-century dresser because of all I've learned here.

[@billiev8705]

Do you watch the channel "Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restauration"? I think you would enjoy that channel, too. He uses his 40-ish years of professional experience to expertly restore a beautiful antique or vintage piece and at the end he humbly says, "I think it looks pretty good." I am always in awe of his work, and his videos have that same calm, meditative quality.

[@manal.daoudi]

How hard is it to compliment someone without bringing down a bunch of other people? His style is certainly different than other channels, and it’s well deserved to compliment him, but leave other people out of it.

[@kattkatt744]

You are a master. I think most people would have put it in the trash with those kind of breaks.

[@frenchfan1278]

Outstanding!

[@nancypeteja6560]

So beautiful! No flaws! Such tender care of the wood. Love it! Great job!😊❤👍

[@deadiemeyers1661]

Your videos are engaging and instructional and the end product never fails to impress. And I might add that I also enjoy the sound of the crows in your neighborhood. I like crows, one of the most intelligent and interesting species of birds.

[@celestewatson4874]

How do I like this comment 10 times?? Crows fans FTW! :)

[@rayscrafield2106]

Thanks for producing this video. You managed to take an old "yard sale" smoking stand and give it a rich now look. Very well done.

[@villagesteader3552]

Wow! Looks like brand new. I now appreciate the shelf on the bottom with long legs. ♥️👍🙏🇺🇸🤓

[@lala100300]

So Beautiful...luv ur voice n work too

[@sharonlarose1586]

I love the pause between “with” and “staples.”

[@paulrward]

I am not certain, but I think this small table was a Portable Phonograph Stand, for the small portable phonographs that were popular in the early 1960s - The phonogaph would have sat on top, the 7" 45 singles in the cabinet section, and the 12" LP albums in the lower section. The hole in the side was for a power cord for an AM/FM Portable Radio that was placed in the cabinet section at a later time. These quickly fell out of favor in the mid sixties when larger, more capable modular Stereo Systems, with Turntables, Amplifiers, AM./FM Receivers, and Twin Speakers became more available. Very nice work on the veneering / restoration - this could now indeed be an elegant Cigar Cabinet !

[@furlvr1961]

I think your assessment about it being a phonograph stand is absolutely spot on. I've seen others like it with exactly that purpose. It helps that I was born in the early 60s. ;-)

[@debracox9277]

I thought the same thing, and figured it was a high school build.

[@steveparker2938]

Tend to disagree. The fluting and detail work is very 1930s

[@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648]

@@steveparker2938 Who knows, it might have been deliberately retro (with respect to the age it was built of course). Maybe it followed something like the Popular Mechanics articles of that era, which were about how to build a neat this, a cool that. Or... it was built earlier and was later repurposed from an actual tobacco cabinet.

[@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648]

I would have expected a larger hole, in the rear, wide enough to pass the plug through. Unless maybe a homemade extension cord went through that hole, which would also ease servicing whatever was placed inside the cabinet and let more than one item be placed inside the cabinet. But again there was no place reported where the socket end would have been anchored (unless it lay loose).

[@bellepoupee61]

Bonjour, another amazing restoration! Bravo! Christine 🇨🇦

[@lizeggar2421]

A lovely little cupboard, ideal as a night stand. Or a side table next to a reading chair. It looks absolutely beautiful.

[@neerg63]

Watching someone shoot glue into a crack with a syringe brings back some great high school memories. Outstanding video, as always!

[@wanttobeasage2952]

My life sucks at the moment, but your love for wood and restoration always make things better.

[@bagginsone]

this is gorgeos........lovely work

[@jenniferlawrence8533]

NICE. Much better than before😍

[@aussiegirl5050]

Fascinating. It looks amazing. I’d love this cabinet next to my armchair. It would be perfect to house my diary and planner and other stationery accessories so they would be within easy reach of my chair. There’s room on the bottom shelf for whichever book I’m currently reading, or a place for my iPad and of course room for my coffee cup on the top. If there’s any residual smell of tobacco, even better, as it would remind me of my dad.

[@nagi603]

Turned out much better than it looked part-way. It looked horrible after the veneer, but the stain fixed that mish-mash look. Kudos, that's what experience is.

[@MNMJJ92]

I have a 9 to 5 job and I just listen to you all day. I actually do work at the same time, so I can't watch the video all the time, but I check it every 5 minutes. Amazing job, man!

[@Ntyler01mil]

Interesting little cabinet. It gives me an art deco vibe.

[@lauran5424]

You have such a calm voice as you describe your work. Thank you for your instruction.

[@dragonslayergeorge898]

If I need to sleep, I just put on one of your videos and I'm snoozing in seconds. This is a compliment. Your videos are super relaxing.

[@suecox2308]

That's a charmer--and the new veneer is lovely.

[@bluecurlygirl]

What a mess it started out as. As usual you worked your magic and now it's an absolute beauty. Thank you for sharing.

[@cherylowilley6007]

What a beautiful little cabinet.

[@TheMajorStranger]

This man is a comedy genius. He could have used anything as scale. Using a Garfield mug is next level. I love it! Plus you know inside he's shaking his head on the scuffed repair.

[@jenniferakridge5056]

Thank you for a wonderful Rescue. I loved all the details and the veneer was a fabulous choice.

[@julierimer4544]

Not only is your workmanship beautiful, your soothing voice and explanations are more calming and centering than any yoga I've ever done. Namaste.

[@albertward9601]

Realy like watching your restoration videos. I am new to furniture restoration so your videos has become my tutorials! Greetings all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@77lubricite-finishes]

Cant believe the things you tackle that turn out so remarkable. Soothing lessons!

[@ornellaibba854]

your magic worked again ! well done

[@keiths314]

Absolutely stunning craftsmanship! What a result!

[@GregNumber5]

I like how you keep to the natural wood look of the furniture you restore. It makes me sad when I see old furniture get painted.

[@thebigone6071]

You’re the true 🐐 of furniture restoration my g!!! The best there ever was, the best there is and the best there ever will be!!!!!

[@cathyswope5174]

Love the duct tape matched to the wood 🤣 Beautiful job yet again.

[@armelleaymonin8907]

You did a good job of restauring this small piece. It's lovely now

[@chappy675]

The end result was fantastic!!!!

[@ScottK]

I have yet to watch a single video without learning something. Thank you for sharing your skills!

[@dshey6802]

What an adorable cabinet. You did it such wonderful favors. I hope you keep it. It's unique.

[@jocelyngleave946]

Beautiful transformation, also, Garfield is the best!!

[@nitro74cs]

What a transformation. Great job 10/10

[@antonianovoa6416]

the fluted detail is really cool! Beautiful job, as usual!

[@ittakesavillagekelly]

New Dashner Design & Restoration vid...day made!

[@doug4bears]

Hey Dash.....this little cabinet turned out beautifully. Kudos my friend!!!!

[@sdeee3842]

I hope the pers who did the glue and duct tape sees this. Such a small table but quite a lot of parts to it. Lovely restoration as usual!😃

[@elia-mariaabbott9577]

BEAUTIFUL

[@thepatriotpartyofamerica]

Great job

[@은바더애]

I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Nice work. Thank you for making these videos.

[@shannonericksen1291]

She is gorgeous!!

[@dward8146]

Such a lovely deco-era piece!

[@alonsocarranza8953]

Your channel is a guilty pleasure to me, to watch someone who knows how to do it’s job when I’m useless doing things like this. Thanks cause I discovered your channel by mistake in you tube and it was a great company from last year to the present.

[@DitIsIdroj]

We all need a cabinet like this. I just like this one a lot! Wish I had this one. You paid so much respect to this design. The new veneer just made it perfect

[@frelnc]

As usual, gorgeous restoration.

[@ca6177]

The cabinet turned out very nice! I learned some more from you! Thanks!

[@uncleremus64]

Wow! Very nice piece. Another beautiful job. Thank you.

[@larissadare8062]

You are truly amazing! Greetings from Brazil and thanks for the masterclass!

[@loisbolton1800]

A really nice, quirky little find. Love the Art Deco/30s vibe. And it’s good now for another 60+ years. Beautiful job.

[@52memor]

What a great job thanks

[@kathleenm3443]

Looks brand new in your expert hands. Excellent work.

[@bettinabarry8423]

You turned a dirt clod into a jewel!

[@MikiStormTrooper]

I wasn't a big veneer fan, but you are making me one!

[@statewench2828]

I really like your work. Attention to detail makes the end product magnificent!

[@suzan1mal]

What a lovely restoration!

[@merrygentry8762]

It's stunning. What a lovely and unique piece of furniture you have now. I also love your video style--so relaxing to watch.

[@jreese8284]

It turned into a lovely little piece. Well done.

[@Trish-j2y]

Listening to you is soothing.

[@cargogh]

It's weird how the proportions of the top to the base look so much better with the new finish. Was not expecting that. Another great project.

[@uncut_cowboy]

In my opinion this is some of your best work to date

[@ggmax2958]

Beautiful

[@victoriacrighton662]

A cute piece. Fabulous repair & renovation.

[@sarahrenfrow9795]

Mr. Dashner, I am old and I can honestly tell you that I have no idea what this little piece was-never seen anything like it, I’m sure. But, I can tell you what it is now-a lovely treasure that has been touched by a master craftsman that would look so pretty anywhere (particularly here beside me-lol). Thanks for sharing your knowledge and for that calm,soothing voice. As always, much enjoyed!

[@gailgaddy5340]

Little cabinet turned out great.👍

[@maryaliceleaphart970]

Love your attention to detail! It's wonderful to see great pieces restored, not painted.

[@makemyday9366]

Not even halfway through the video and I'm sure this restoration is going to be a blast.

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

Ah, the old duct tape and staples technique. Lol

[@Rhodeygirl]

Seriously! Even if the previous owner didn't have wood glue, you would think super glue would be used.

[@ronanpare4766]

Works every time!

[@joanfrellburg4901]

Scotch tape around here, cheap and lazy bunch lol.

[@Beerwalla1]

A proffesional would use wood glue to stick a patch of tougher plastic to the inside of the cabinet, and use a bent 4 inch nail to hold the outside together, works much better than duct tape and staples.

[@joanfrellburg4901]

@@Beerwalla1 I'm with the 4 inch nail but only if it's rusty to blend in with the natural woodgrain finish. Actually what was I thinking, obviously it's rusty, who has new 4 inch nails anymore.

[@dan__________________]

A veneer saw is the correct tool. Super cheap too.

[@discon_csert]

Frankenstein's cabinet. Love it-and the end product. It's gorgeous.

[@kathleenwalton3311]

Wow that looks brand new. Great job

[@jillb7234]

Beautiful job!

[@emilywall852]

Wow! That turned out amazingly better than I expected!

[@ChuckFarlieSeesAll]

Beautiful transformation

[@WHM_FOAD]

Thank you so much. Your work has inspired me on so many levels and what you’ve taught me is immeasurable.

[@Flippingdrawers]

that staple repair was the best 😂

[@angelabstractart6168]

Thank you for demonstrating the different veneer and how to use it properly.

[@joannadavis6716]

Amazing transformation. Patience, methodical experience, wonderful craftsmanship.

[@seeingthepattern]

I think I would have left this one in the store, but I’m so glad you didn’t. The final result was gorgeous. I’ve not watched a single video of yours without learning something new; and your calm demeanour, and soothing voice, make them such a pleasure to watch. Thank you for making them.
