Saturday afternoon, I came home exhausted from grocery shopping and other boring errands to find UA-cam notification that Dashner just published a new 29 minutes video 😊... relieved that Saturday is finally starting to get better, I go make some tea, open a box of chocolate bonbons and lay down to enjoy my favorite type of restoration video, a mid century coffee table... thank you Dahsner dear. 😉
I have to go teach a bunch of junior high school kids in the morning, what a nice way to end my day, just a glass of wine, watching Barry do his magic, wondering how he keeps his nails so clean (gardening this weekend, my nails look like crap). Wondering what the veneer is, looking at the level of chatoyancy in the grain. Thanks, Barry - it looks very cold there in Madison right now! Kia kaha, kia hanga ataahua ki te ao.
I love this coffee table. The deconstruction of it was like looking back 70 years to the people who made it. That is not a cheaply manufactured throw-away piece like you buy now. That shows respect for the craftsmen who made it. You have a real artist's touch with the delicate grain lines you used to hide the black stain! Wow!
You don’t know how many times I’ve come back to your channel lately to see if there’s a new video! I’m super pregnant and watching these videos is my absolute favourite thing right now.
@@DashnerDesignRestoration oh yeah. I've heard Minnesota is really cold and snowy. I live in Utah but I have family in Alaska and I know the snow is still there in the spring
Hi, A really great episode. The coffee table looks terrific. Your touch up/repair skills are so fun to watch. I'm amazed at the length when the ends are brought up. It kinda looks like a smaller version of a dining table. I really love it. Thanks
What a delight to have a new Dashner video to watch. I love how you left the wood light so that you can see the grain well - for me that's nicer than having it darker. And I always love how you make your videos, especially that we can hear real background noises rather than distracting music. All round, your videos are useful - and somehow comforting. Thank you.
I wonder how many parties this table was part of? The round stains are from wine buckets and bottle chillers, a lot of food can fit on it once extended. Table looks wonderful after all that TLC.
Oh damn! My husband and I bought a g-plan coffee table from someone who’s Nan passed away and it’s in a similar state (we have a cloth on top for now) and I’ve been waiting for you to do something similar for me to copy! Yours in far worse a state but gives me some great ideas! (From the UK.)
Oxalic acid works by digesting organic stains like the black water stain. This explains why the bleaching effect is minimal on the rest of the piece. Nice job and thanks for uploading.
What a gorgeous coffee table this is now. I love watching you perform your restoration magic. I especially love watching you mix and match paint to disguise small imperfections in the finish. This always fascinates me. Thanks for sharing this video with us.
That touch up on the drawer corner at the end, man do I know what that's like! You can nail the colours and recreate a near-perfect woodgrain effect, only to find out that all the different layers you've created are reflecting light differently from different angles, and so rather than fool the eye into thinking there's nothing there, they end up doing the opposite and making the repair stand out. One thing I tried recently on some badly blown through veneer patches was to use Acrylic paint as the first layer, being sure to use as little as possible with a colour that was the best match possible. Then, I layered on the shellac in thin coats, avoiding any glaze or further pigmentation, and avoiding touch up markers unless absolutely necessary. There were a couple of spots where I had to layer-in more acrylic paint between coats of shellac, and this did create an imperfect effect, but on the whole it was very effective and the only time you can see the main repair is under extreme light levels at extremely close range.
I’m always referring back to previous episodes for challenges you faced and how you approached problems … each is invaluable in my own refinishing/restoring projects … thx!
I watch a lot of furniture repair videos… most of the time I skip through the repetitive parts or long drawn out scenes of the dismantle or sanding. Not Dashner’s, man! I watch every second of all of his videos! I have learned SO much! Thanks for sharing!
I came home, finally, from 2 day trip with the family. Exhausted. Immediately order food delivered & opened youtube - and there it is: new Dashner. Everything is immediately fine.
....and yet - I wonder if it's the bird song around him (I think this must be the nesting season - early spring in Minnesota) that inspires slow, careful, measured work, and voice to match...
This coffee table was designed in the early 50s by Milo Baughman. Sold by Drexel. The wood veneer is from the Philippines. It is Mindoro wood. My parents purchased several pieces of this furniture in 1951, I think. The coffee table is currently residing in my living room.
I've been watching your videos now for a couple of years and you've taught me soooo much! Every time i'm watching i'm thinking what would be your next move so sometimes i'm shouting out loud: 'Yesss 'Oxalid Acid'!! Thank you so much!
29 minutes; an unusual long treat by Dasher. First, I was a bit concerned about that large black circle, but the stain disappeared better than I expected. Great job and a nice piece of furniture.
Thanks for all the videos! I have learned so much and I use your advice in my own renovation projects. Today I finished redoing my great grandma‘s sideboard from 1954! First time applying new veneer (not just patches). I remembered to wet and sand it before staining. It‘s not 100% perfect, but I‘m 100% happy with it. I wish I could share pictures, but since I can’t, you have to trust me 😉
This is exactly the youtube I've been waiting for. My boyfriend has some 12-15 bedroom living room and dining room pieces from the Drexel Perspective collection he bought second hand from a friend in the early 80's. In the intervening years, he has absolutely ruined the finish on every one from iced tea glasses sitting on them, and the finish is entirely gone in many places. The tables that have drop leaves need either repairs or new hinges. I don't' know where to begin with them. He's always bragging about how valuable they are--but I know for sure they aren't in this condition!
I need this table in my life! It’s fabulous! I appreciate the respect you give mid century furniture. I am so drawn to mid century’s stream lined appeal and how it’s simplicity allows the wood to sing. If we lived closer I would probably snatch up everything you restored to sell. Thanks again for sharing your videos. As another poster commented, I too agree, you are the Bob Ross of furniture refinishing!
I watch restorations of radios and electronics that are 70 or 80 years old as well and you can just wonder where these things were used, maybe next to someone's bed for 30 years, or in an office, maybe on the fireplace mantel. The older ones you wonder if a family sat and listened to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Same with this older furniture, who's living room it sat in and for how long, maybe decades. So cool to see them get a second life.
I just bought a Drexel Perspectives dining table and chair set. It's in rough shape and I was afraid that I'd bitten off more than I could chew with this project. Your video gave me confidence that Incan restore the set to its former glory (or close, anyway). THANK YOU!
Dashner, Thomas Johnson (antiques and some newer stuff), and Fixing Furniture (meticulous repairs and thoughtful explanations) are my only three automatic watches among the furniture restoration videos out there. All three are excellent teachers. Honourable mentions to Transcend Furniture Gallery and Mad City.
Congratulations on your restoration with this piece. The piece itself is a bit more complicated than some of the others you find, and it offered pretty much every common restoration problem that one could encounter. Those dang black rings! You are getting pretty fancy with your camera work too, love how you showed us the multiple passes you had do make with the finish application. It highlights the need for patience for this kind of work. I was a child in the mid-century, so I grew up around that type of furniture, so it is all very familiar to me. It is in truth not my favorite style, probably because of my familiarity. But i recall the Drexel name and appreciate the quality. This piece I had never seen before, but it does seem to have had long and useful life, which is now renewed.
Every one of these videos is as carefully considered and understated in its production values as the restoration itself, let alone the narration. It’s also refreshing to see a restoration channel where the furniture is star of the show rather than the content creator. Sublime.
love your videos. its the perfect amount of commentary to be insightful yet enough attention to the workmanship and details to be fascinating to watch.
The finish on the table top is beautiful. I don't think I have ever seen folding leaves on such a low table. But it looks great. Thanks for another great episode!
Top is amazing. Legs could have been a shade darker, but it did turn out very nice. I love this style and period of furniture 50s-60s and you do a wonderful job on these.
A striking table this was from the beginning but now, once restored by you, it has become sublime! Since I watch your videos I learn about Oxalic acid and am amazed about its capacity to make stains vanish! Thanks for making these videos, I love-em!
I have been fascinated, and taught so much since I found you three years ago. This came out almost in "office" ready condition. Amazing. I can just see this table in some military officer's office. The repairs are reminiscent of the military repair shops of old. Keep up the great work and content.
You've done it again! Thank you thank you for you're great content. I get so much from these videos. They are calming, enjoyable and i learn heaps. Keep up the great work
What a beauty! I don't know if you thought this project was any more intensive than some of your other projects, but I kept thinking "What a labor of love this one is!"
Beautiful table and worthy of the amount of time you spent restoring it. Drexel Heritage was high end furniture for my middle class generation. Good job.
Another wonderful repair! Excellent work. I agree with your decision to remove the drawer dowels. It’s easy to lose things in a drawer like that, and it’s always nice when you can take the whole thing out to look. I really appreciate your commitment to hand painting the wood grain. It really buffs out the repairs and any lingering stains. I enjoy painting (with acrylics) and the detail work can be finicky and frustrating. Thank you for your hard work!
Dashner, when are you going to get into toned lacquer? A piece like this, made out of 10 different woods, would be a great way to demonstrate how you can easily get a nice matching finish. It’s also period appropriate 🙂 much love Ps. Enjoyed the editing you did wiping on the poly
Those "extended" leaves are not for me, I find them annoying. However, that polygon shaped drawer caught my eye right away. It really added a special touch to the table's design. I always learn something. I was mesmerized by your touch up skills. I could watch you doing those for hours. 😊 I agree with other comments. the end result was not your best. I would have rather seen one or two shades of darker stain color, instead of three different shades. But, who am I to question the master? 😉 The snowflakes at the end were a nice touch... winter is not over in Minnesota! ❄️❄️❄️❄️
Wow, that’s a coffee buffet with the leaves up. Very distinct and now very beautiful. Great job undoing the wear and tear and past repairs. Looking forward to the next project 👍
Really nice project--the original veneer (on the top) is really pretty, and the restoration preserves that beautifully. This is the first coffee table I've seen with leaves--interesting design.
Yet another brilliant video ! What a transformation, and that big round stain is gone ! Your attention to detail is excellent and the way you explain everything is a joy to listen to. Thank you for sharing your skills with us - it's fascinating to watch :-)
8:46 You can actually spray the oxalic with water to reactivate it, it helps sometimes. Also you can use an iron (a clothes iron) and steam the stain some (after applying the oxalic)
Much appreciated video after many days....several hours just today....dealing with taxes. :( Needed your soothing voice to de-stress; and felt my BP dropping as you walked us through the tablet's transformation. Especially enjoyed your color work, finesse with the detail brush, the massaging of the color to make the remnants of the ring disappear. :)

I've used toner lacquer in other videos. I couldn't use it in this one because I have to spray outside and it's still too cold and snowy here.
