- In this video I refinish a mid century desk. I found the desk in a thrift store for $5. I also replace the laminate top with new walnut veneer.

You're like the Bob Ross of furniture restoration.
Nailed that analogy. And it is meant as a compliment!
It's my new playlist for falling asleep. Not because its boring, but it always has a happy end. Perfect work!
he kinda reminds me of based gutta, with apathetic voice haha
@@hundsboog happy end? you should talk to someone about that.
Just without the happy accidents :)
Wow! What an amazing restoration. It's nice to see someone that actually knows what the word "restore" means. It doesn't mean slap some chalk paint on it, it means to bring it back to its original finish. Bravo!
It's nice to see someone someone refinish old furniture without painting it. good job
I would never paint a mid c piece of furniture!
That was my first thought, so many of these videos seem to involve chalk painting over lovely wood. Lovely to see someone letting the wood shine through.
Who would do that, honestly? You paint over antique furniture just like you said with chalk paint and it significantly lowers the value, but if you stain and seal it instead it significantly increases its value. Furthermore, why the hell would anyone ever cover up an attractive woodgrain like that with flat paint? It's really, really stupid.
@@katquesada6984 it was 5 bucks and no name. use it for firewood if you want
@@wwaxwork you mean the plastic laminate?
I always look forward to your videos. I find them very relaxing and fulfilling. It’s good to see someone just doing honest work that they clearly enjoy. Really inspiring. I hope to someday tackle a restoration project using the knowledge gleaned from watching your videos.
I appreciate you and what you do.
Great work as always.
Thank you.
Also like how you speak calmly. Some UA-camrs are so hysterical.
like dashie playing a video game lol

I have enormous respect for people like you, who restore old pieces of furniture and give them a new lease of life. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is a higher quality video than what’s on HGTV.
Thank you. You’re awesome
@patrick henry HGTV used to be good.
Then House Hunters, Property Brothers, etc. happened...
Yep, that's a seriously good restoration
Thank you.
Andrey Popov Seriously! I can sit and watch his work for hours. Very calming.
@@suzan1malI jump on his videos when they are posted. Lol
There is nothing as beautiful as wood grain. I love watching restorations so much more than furniture flips. Beautiful job!
Nice job. I love how you simply explain in a quiet voice what you’re doing.
Last night, in the rain without a car, I just rolled home a round 29 " diameter Childcraft table with laminate particle board top on good solid leg frames from a curbside trash. I used to be against particle board and laminate. Rolled it about 2 miles with the faith that I could make it better thanks to you.
I learned about Citrus Strip from you and I have it on hand at all times now. As always, love the video. 😊
Even if it’s not a top name brand, the design of the desk speaks for itself. It is terrific.
It's so nice to see someone refining instead of throwing away! You do really beautiful work!
Inspiring and unexpectedly relaxing video to watch. Good job.
Wow! this looks great. And that gunstock stain really pulled the colors together. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! A completely different piece of furniture. Looks great!
Very nice. My $5 rescue teak veneer dining table is looking good thanks to you. These old pieces of furniture were nicely made and definitely worth this effort. I also have a terrific new orbital sander! Great video - thanks.
First time watching one of your videos. Clear description, easy to follow your progress, great tips! Desk turned out awesome. Thanks for posting.
Wow! What a beautiful transformation!
First time I ever saw someone put a brand new veneer sheet on a crappy surface. Hats off !! 😊
I miss your videos so I am re-watching old ones. Your voice is so relaxing.
You did a fantastic job of bringing that desk back to life. Enjoyed watching this video very much. Tfs!
The stain in gun stock really did a nice job on the top. Desk came out great. I really appreciate you explain your thought process as you worked on the piece.
That paper bag tip! I've often thought they felt abrasive, but never realized that was because they are an abrasive. And recyclable! Thank you for this.
Looks Great! I simply admire people who do restorations. I've done it before so I know how relaxing it is to bring new life to an old piece. ❤
this came out really nice i love how mid century modern is coming back in trends with furniture !
Awesome Project
, Great job matching all those different woods.
Begining to end, what a great refinish. I really enjoy your work. Thank you for sharing your talent!
A fine piece of restoration. Thank you for showing it to us!
I really appreciate how you don't over complicate the instructions. Your style builds my confidence in tackling projects. Thank you.
This is so relaxing and satisfying when the project is done. It makes me want to refinish my furniture! Keep up the great videos!
Wow, what an amazing teacher you are. I have learned so much. This 75 year old cannot wait to work on a few pieces of my own!
Thank you!
I liked how you did it steps you seemed very patient. It looks beautiful.
You've a great voice for these videos, takes one into such a relaxed place. Lovely, thanks very much!
Beautiful! I applaud your effort! A gem in the rough!
At first I was thinking wow what an ugly desk, but it came out absolutely stunning. You really got the top to match perfect too.
This was one of the best "how to " videos for restoring a piece of furniture. Kudos to you for a job well done and illustrating many techniques in one video. Excellent camera work and editing as well. You illustrated techniques which can be used by the rest of us novice restorers on classic mid century designs and adapted to other wood furniture.
Beautiful work !!! Glad there are people like you in the world, to restore and repurpose instead of trashing.
Awesome Find!! Great job on the resto too :)
Thank you!
Great job. It looks brand new. Thanks for adding the subtle details to your explanations.
It came out well ... some good choices made on your part. A worthwhile restoration. Cheers!
I enjoy seeing a man using hand skills instead of exotic tools to get a really pleasing result. Thanks for posting these very informative videos I am sure a lot of people have gleaned some valuable knowledge from you.
$5 for a desk like that is an amazing find. You made it look so nice!
Wow! Looks great. Thanks for the helpful instructions! 👍
Great work 👍. I love to see the amazing transformation from before to after
Great and so satisfying watching you convert what was a piece of junk before you redid it.
I love thrift store finds, and yes, sometimes they have outrageous prices for pieces that need a lot of TLC!
I like how you take something old and beat up and turn it into something new looking. The desk turned out great.
Great instructional video. I have mid-century desk with a faded plastic oak veneer. Thank you for showing me how to restore the desk!
Another stunning restoration! And that velvety voice again!
Great result!
Love the no BS low key but useful tips in the commentary.
Also nice to see unloved pieces of furniture brought back to life!
I love watching your videos! Thank you for another informative one. You do such beautiful work & I look forward to the next one!!
That desk looks amazing! I love mid-mod furniture.
I find these videos very soothing to watch.
Beautiful work. And relaxing to watch. Thank you for the entertainment.
Great job. I appreciate your pragmatic, value-based approach to the restoration.
Thank you.
WOW! Another gem. Beautiful restoration with lots of good tips. Thank you.
I’ve been up against a similar situation with matching new browner walnut with older more reddish walnut. I too have looked at using the Gunstock stain. Glad to see how well it’s worked for you.
I have just come across your channel and am so glad. How you explain everything is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you and am going to watch your other videos👍
A sad lookin beat up furniture no one wants to buy...needed someone like you. Thank you for saving a furniture a piece at a time.
I feel like I am watching an animal rescue footage.
looks amazing! i love mid century furniture.
I love your old Black and Decker "Workmate" portable bench. I still have my dad's and use it sometimes.
Just lovely! I’m restoring some mid century pieces and your videos have been invaluable! Thank you so much for taking the time to share these. I love that these were probably once loved pieces and now can go on to new people and be useful.
Very nice job! I was wondering what the putty repair would look like but you addressed it at the end of the video! Looks awesome!
great job. I picked up a couple of tips even after 35 years of repairing, refinishing and building furniture.
Thanks for watching.
That guy has got a lovely relaxing voice,very soothing.🇬🇧😌
Wow! That is beautiful. Def keep it for yourself. It would make a great laptop video editing desk.
I just found this page and now have watched every episode. Thank you for saving this old furniture for many many years of future enjoyment. Also, you have great taste and know exactly what needs to be saved. Even the basic stuff is beautiful. Great narration and great time lengths on each video. Keep up the great work, and I'll be looking forward to upcoming episodes!
As a voiceover artist, just want to say how complementary your narration is. Good sound quality, no mouth noise and a relaxed, informative style!
I wanted to see the drawers pulled open and shut several times....like when someone makes food and you want them to take a bite.
Great job 👍🏻👍🏻🤗
Nice video. I like how you patiently explained every step. Cheers.
Great restoration and video. Like your clear explanations and concise reasoning for each decision. Keep going
Beautiful. My late husband would have greatly appreciated this thorough restoration.
Looks great. I like the soothing voice.
I really like that you refinish rather than paint it. Painting wood furniture seems sacrilegious to me! Great job!!!!
You have done a great job on that unit, have a nice day !!!
I love every time you explain the epoxy. Your voice is super relaxing btw!!
Well done !
I love how chill you are. Your videos are both inspiring and relaxing.
I was really surprised by this video, you did a great job and I definitely learned a thing or two.
Wow. Just wow. Great work. It turned out fantastic.
Thanks for your calming voice and NO MUSIC which competes with what many UA-camrs are trying to say. (Stop with the music, ppl!)
You definitely brought that back from the dead. Nice looking desk anyone would like to have.
Beautiful desk! I can understand why you might want to keep it. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Great job Dashner! I wish your videos came out more than once a month. I could watch these all day...you always make it look SO easy. I have a maple MCM dresser that I garbage picked...wish I could give it to you for your next video. You could make it beautiful again. Thanks for sharing...more please!
Wow! I wasn’t expecting it to look so nice! Great job!
Like always...your videos are right to the point..down to earth..I’m a huge fan. Thank you
Oh! I love the finished product. Very well made.
These are hands down my favorite videos to watch on UA-cam.
Thanks for watching.
Its a beautiful day to citrus strip!
Bravo great job , I myself restore MCM chairs ,
so it's great that I can still learn something new everyday !
Great job matching the top with the rest of the cabinet :)
Great job!! I couldn’t even find the putty! Beautiful desk. I wouldn’t have thought of putting on veneer! Love it!!
Gorgeous restoration!
Great job! I love your voice is very soothing and relaxing. Thanks for the video.
Love your videos! Beautiful final product.
3) There is nothing more satisfying then working an old piece of furniture into something beautiful. Always follow safety instructions found on refinishing equipment and chemicals.
Wow, beautiful work! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing job and what a transformation!
Very well narrated, well produced video. Thank you.
I don't know how I missed this when you posted it. Truly beautiful. Plus, there are so many tips in this video that are specifically relevant to several projects of mine that have been collecting dust in my garage because I want sure how to tackle then. I now feel fully prepared to get to them. Thank you!!
