In this video I strip layers of paint to reveal a beautiful mid century Drexel Declaration Bench. - Навчання та стиль
This is GORGEOUS. I’m so glad that you found this piece, because someone else might have painted and distressed it. Thank you for restoring it to its natural beauty.
BEAUTIFUL job! I don't understand people who like painted furniture. Let the beauty of the wood shine through! Great job!
Yeah, only on a cheap (modern), disfigured piece.
Yeah, I just cannot fathom why anyone would want to paint over such beautiful wood. I guess some people have weird tastes ...........
@@SlartiMarvinbartfast or no taste.
@@Frisenette That is also a possibility.
I think it’s usually because the piece gets old and the old finish starts to look bad. Most people don’t know how to properly refinish it so they take the easy way out and paint it.
The painted version looked like it belonged in the hall outside the principal's office, and the refinished version looks like it belongs in the hall of a stately home. Job well done!
That's stunning. I much prefer being able to see the different colours, textures and shades of the individual pieces of wood. So much better than an over powering stain or dye that makes every piece of wood the same colour.
Wow, this is a gorgeous piece. I love the simple finish that lets the beauty of the wood shine through. It will look beautiful in your home.
Man, you have the patience of Buddha, I would have set that thing on fire after the first hour. What an amazing piece though, I’m so happy you took the time to save it.
Why would you paint something so beautiful……..thank you for making it awesome again ! So much scraping…
Love the goodwill sticker on the vice grip - I really miss MN thrifting 😢
I had the same thought!
Magnificent. That wood was *begging* for a return to Danish Oil.
Gorgeous.
Whoever painted it is a monster.
Beautiful work…just in case you are interested, in my youth (about 40-50 years ago 😨) in the North of England a settee was what we now would call a sofa or couch. Everyone had a settee in their living room (lounge) or Front room/Dining room (AKA posh room that only gets used when posh visitors come). Ahhh, those were the days when all you could hear on a Sunday was the church bells outside and the ticking clock on the mantle inside. No daytime TV (other than the test card) until after tea. 😊 That’s why I love your videos, they remind me of when life was a bit quieter….well that and the lovely work you do.
Props to the cleanest of ad breaks. 👍
WOW, that is fantastic ! I have to admire your patience at removing all that paint - must have taken hours and hours ! Well done - it looks brilliant now. Take care 🙂
always a fan of the "Oh hi I didn't see you there" thing
Beautiful. I remember these from my childhood. Nice then, nice now. Just a little reminder: Don't forget and leave it in the middle of the street. It would/could be a disaster!
what an absolutely beautiful piece of furniture. It was worth all of the effort. Thanks for posting these videos. You're time and effort are greatly appreciated.
Dasher, please take this as a compliment, but your videos are simultaneously interesting, wonderful, and boring as heck. Your lulling baritone voice puts me to sleep. As such I watch them every night as I wind down my brain for bed. NEVER CHANGE!
My man even got his vice grips from goodwill…. What a legend
I always say your calm measured sane gentle voice lowers my blood pressure.
Beautiful piece. I’m not against painting low quality furniture but I don’t understand covering such wood. Thanks for your time and effort to save it.
That walnut was totally worth it!!
What a gorgeous job on a gorgeous piece. Thank you so much for removing all that paint. Walnut is too beautiful to be covered with paint. Thanks for sharing.
Natural wood trumps painted every time. Beautiful job. Looked like a lot of work cleaning all that paint off.❤
Wow what a beautiful piece. Your patience with this paint is commendable.
That's beautiful, the Dashner magic continues ...
“Thank you for restoring my original beauty!”
Great walnut wood grain revealed!
Definitely worth the effort to get rid of the paint layers.
Woodrow! That turned out amazing. I think this was one of your best results. Certainly a ton of tedious stripping, etc. But the result is so worth it.
You've done it again! Thanks for showing how to rescue a glorious piece of furniture. Much appreciated.
This turned out great! Love the variation in wood tones in this. I’m glad you stripped it back to wood and oiled it. It looks rich and like a solid heirloom. 👍
One of the most beautiful pieces I’ve ever seen!
That WOOD GRAIN! Why paint ever touched that piece is a mystery to me. Lovely.
Man... what a LOT of work! But well worth it. What a high-quality piece. (Great decision to photograph the final result against the blacktop... really makes that walnut pop)
This has to be one of the most beautiful furniture pieces I have ever seen. You did it justice stripping the paint. Tremendous work.
Great restoration of an unusual piece! Stripping can be hard. My next project is a messed up desk that I will make midcentury style. We will see how that turnes out! Thanks for a great video!
I'm so glad your channel is growing. Your simplicity and calm explanations have earned you the "Bob Ross of Refinishing ". Plus I have noticed you have moved from chemical removal to scraping, ( I understand that it is environmentally friendly and probably better for your respiratory system and kidneys,) but watching bubbled paint being swooped off in one fell swoop is kind of satisfying. 😅
What an eye! I would never have taken that piece on, but you made it look easy, and so worthwhile. I saw a tip from another woodworker to use vinegar on screws that are hard to remove.
That's just beautiful, what a great piece! How somebody would paint over walnut is beyond me. Glad you brought it back to life! The clear Danish oil was the way to go, and the hide glue repair was also a good choice, hide glue doesn't show on oil or shellac finishes which is a bonus of using it. Great job and video 👏
Amazing color variation in this piece. The simple finish is perfect.
Oh my, one of the most beautiful pieces you've done.
What a beautiful, beautiful wood and restoration!!!
An act of love, you saved a thing of beauty.
Wow, gorgeous. They truly don’t make furniture like they used to.
The patience, the perseverance, the attention to detail. Many wouldn't attempt this, knowing the sheer amount of work involved. Absolutely stunning result. I salute you Sir Dashner!
Now that is a thing of beauty.
The final photo on the black asphalt was very creative. Nice touch. Excellent save……
Well THIS Piece is superb! For having taken off Paint of furniture my self often in the past, I d'say you were very humble about the stripping-off-the-paint process! a Masterpiece! Well done Dashner! The 'Settie' now looks Better than New!
I am speechless! This is a treasure you will enjoy in your home for certain.
I can see this beautiful piece of furniture indoors or outdoors… definitely inside a cabin with some cushions and throw blankets sipping’ on coffee ☺️
Settee is a very British word. Probably a derivative of the word ‘Settle’ which is an old word for a piece of furniture to sit on. I always associate it with a ‘chair’ by the fire.
I think walnut grain is absolutely beautiful. Lovely restoration. 👍
what a beautiful bench! Furniture from the past looks s stunning, I'm glad you find these unique pieces and bring them back to life
This is a beautiful bench. I can see why you always wanted one. I bet it is a great addition to your home. And practical too. Vintage Drexel is the best. Carol from California
A truly beautiful piece of workmanship! I especially admire how meticulous you were toward getting all of the paint off. Great work! Already looking forward to your next project.
Absolutely stunning! I can't believe anyone would paint over that. Thank you for restoring it.
Highly imaginative brilliant carpenter of those days .what a creation
It’s lovely, imagine it with cushions. ❤❤❤
This is a beautiful piece! I'm so happy you were able to restore it to it's original glory.
Holy wood grain, that is stunning!
I recognize these as the same flattened spindles in the headboard that I bought at a local thrift store several years ago. I'm very glad to know that it's part of the Drexel Declaration line.
❤ SO gorgeous. How someone painted that just boggles the mind!
Perfect. A horrible job to do but so worthwhile, and glad you used Danish oil instead of your usual poly spray finish. A very desirable settee. In England it would be called a settle.
Lovely result with the rich, warm finish. Minus the time spent repairing the cracks, how many hours did it take to remove all the paint, pick away at the nooks and crannies? Many decades ago, removed a lot of paint from a spindled chair. At some point, recall losing motivation, thinking 'Nobody will even notice this little bit.'
Great job. What a PIA taking all that paint off.
That was a beautifully styled piece of furniture. You can see that most people do not understand rationale of the slotted brace.
An old shop mate showed me a trick for getting glue into tight separations between board edges like that--use a vacuum cleaner. Apply the glue to one of the flat edges, obviously, not the end. Apply the vacuum to the other flat side. Voila.
What a wonderful save. So glad you were able to locate this piece and give it the care it so clearly needed. So, merch now, huh? Good deal! I love the hoodie. I may spring for one. As always, your work is amazing. Thanks for a great video.
Wow. You really brought out the beauty of the walnut grain and colors. Thank you for sharing. God bless you.
That is a beautiful bench well worthy of restoration.
Well worth the effort I'd say.. turned out wonderfully.. a entry piece for any colonial style house
You were right about how beautiful that wood is. (And you look so COLD with jacket and gloves and where is that desolate empty road??) Lovely job, as usual.
I run into cracks that are hard to glue often. I use a shop vac with a rag held over the end of the hose to pull glue into tighter joints. You can glue them without prying or opening joints and cracks that can cause more problems. Good job on the restoration!
I just now caught this video. When I saw those round spindles and realized how much work it would be to get that paint off, I thought of the neat sand blasting tool that Flipping Drawers uses when he gets paint off furniture. It has a hose with a small round brush at the end that looks like a vacuum cleaner. I would suggest you contact him via his UA-cam channel and find out what that is.
That is an excellent job on a piece I couldn’t have even considered doing. Well done.
Patience is a virtue
Congratulations on a superior job.
Well done.
What an absolutely drop dead gorgeous piece.
Of the two paint colors, I liked the green better so wonder why someone painted over it. I now see that this bench was waiting for you to find it. I think this was worthy of a subtitle: "That is a really big screw".
Oh Hi! I didn’t see you there. 😂😂 That is the most beautiful tea set/bench I have ever seen. 😍 I sure hope you’re keeping that one. Woweee 👍🏼❤️
Very interesting! The walnut is super. I wonder if it was painted originally, because of the differences in the color of the wood. This might be a good project to try some of the wood toners that even out the finish.
I doubt Drexel would have used walnut under paint.
It was likely sprayed with a toner to even out the finish.
You're going to find species like gum, birch or beech under paint.
Never been a fan of painted wood furniture and seeing the end result I cannot understand why anyone would have painted this beautiful piece. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤
Excellent. I love the result. 🌹🌹🌹
Like you, I've all but given up on cleaning off paint from furniture. Sometimes it seems easier to take the entire piece apart, clean and reassemble than spend forever picking at odd bits of paint. Kudos to a job well done!
Love the outcome very much! So glad I am so far away and have zero space for it :D
What a beautiful piece! Drexel makes some really fine furniture. My mother had a Derxel dining room set and some chairs that were awesome. Great job bringing it back. It's also interesting that the back rails appear to have different color tones. I wonder if it's because they were covered in paint for so long. Well done.
Your merch commercial cracked me up. Have been a long time watcher and finally here to subscribe and looking for the merch.
Definitely worth saving and a lot of patience.
Congratulations on your find and compliments on your restoration!
It's such a pleasure to see an old, battered thing made beauitiful again. Thanks, Mr. Dashner.
Wow that turned out beautifully. Looks like a LOT of work but worth it!
Wow, that's a thing of beauty! You could see the great shape even with the paint on it, but without the paint, it's absolutely gorgeous. I never understand why people paint lovely pieces of furniture - fine if they're cheap or damaged, but I hate it when they paint over perfectly good wood. It took a lot of effort (I wouldn't have had the patience), but it's worth it because it's now something to be proud of.
stunning, congrats for persevering thru those headless screws
I can't believe that was painted
tiny drop of oil in screw slot will couple heat of iron to metal and may be more effective. Great work!!
I love it. How lucky you were to find it. I’ve always wanted a piece like this. It looks beautiful.
Oh how I wish we lived in the same country at least. This is gorgeous!! Also, satee, shmatee.. it's a bench!
I love the "oh hi, I didn't see you there," merch but. Hilarious!
Also, now I'm thinking about buying merch.
Beautiful!
Great work of great work! You are my "go to person" when it comes to furniture restoration. Thanks for sharing!
I understand why you wanted on of these -- it's stunning. The glow from the wood is astounding.
