    This is so pretty! I have often wondered why there isn’t more refinishes that put veneer over laminate for some pieces, seems it would make it much more desirable as a piece of furniture. Growing up in the 70’s laminate was hard to get a way from but I never cared for it. Thank you for showing you can put veneer over laminate and that it can look fabulous!

    Finally a face to that calming voice! You’ve been like Tool Time Tim’s neighbor Wilson in your other videos where we can never really quite see the face. Sometimes I was almost distracted away from the restoration for trying to see your face in the reflection in the vinegar bottle or whatever there was. 😂🤣. I love your videos. And your voice. And now your face too! 😎

    That looked so much nicer when you'd finished it (well, obviously!). I agree that the figuring on the top was worth having a closer look at than you could get outside.

    Hey Dash, nice to SEE you! I've been watching for over a year now and enjoy the relaxed and soothing vibe to your channel -- No offense, but I sometimes fall asleep...a bit of ASMR with all the sanding, etc. -- and will wake up at 2 am to your voice telling me to not apply too much sanding pressure or the veneer will get too thin. It does make for some strange dreams. Love the finished products and of course the fact that you are saving these mid-century modern beauties!

      95% of the tools and materials he's using are things he has in stock already because he's a committed furniture restorer. So the table and the veneer are the only things he could price for you, and you can get prices on those things yourself, locally. I'd rather he spend the time restoring more furniture than editing costs into his videos.
