What is included in these videos so we know if we actually want to pay for it? Extra tips / tricks etc?
Straight to the point, No unnecessary background music, lots of things to learn from. This is what quality content looks like. Subscribed!
Thank you!
Indeed! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
We all live a frantic paced, over loaded, over stimulated, single use, throw away life so it's not surprising that people have responded very well to your videos. Your whole demeanour says 'Hey let's slow down for a bit and mediate on one task with care and with honour for what others have made with their hands and hearts. Well done Mr. Dashner .
Well said
His voice is so soothing! I wish I could use it for my iPhone’s “reading” voice!
Love that you don’t have loud music and I can hear the real sounds......... new subbie
Thank you.
Yes to this ^ I love the ambient noise.
Sammmeeee....
Absolutely. Nothing more annoying that loud rock macho music like lots of videos when guys do manual work 😖😫😫
True
I respect u 3000 for not playing any music in the background
Or abusing jump cuts.
This is like the Bob Ross of furniture restoration. Soothing and mesmerizing.
Yes I agree with you 💯!! I stubbled upon this utuber...very nice and enjoyable voice...the nature sound's and sound's of the process are appealing. I do not a restore anything..lol..but I sure do appreciate watching talent how beautiful your restoration's look at the end.😃
Absolutely! He puts me to sleep in the best way possible 🙌🙌🙌
I'm ready for beddy. Love that walnut stai...ZZzzzz...
Great restoration and inspiring! Nice tutorial and soothing voice 👍🏽

Bless you for NOT painting it with chalk paint and distressing it in a "chippy" finish.
I would have chalk-painted it :) Whoooops!
chalk paint is for fat midwest housewives who like to 'hobby'
Chalk painting can look beautiful if you know how to do it right.
No tiene nada de malo pintar con chalk paint pero así también queda bien según gusto de cada uno
@@alcinaysusideasdiy2654 I agree. 18th century French Provincial furniture was painted and now is highly prized. But when a vintage veneered piece of furniture has a load of waterbased paint randomly slopped all over it without any surface prep, it devalues the piece. Brush marks and contrived wear spots may be cute as a, hopefully, short-lived fad but a good finish compliments and enhances the overall look of a piece of furniture. Just as a frame made for a piece of art, it adds value, not covers it up.
Those veneers are hard to come by now so learning how to repair them is worth the time and respect to learn the art.
I have no idea why I'm here, but I am instantly calmed and feel like I can do this
Hey, same here ;-))
Lol
Please don't. Stick to your day job.
@@StanOwden didn't mean professionally, just for fun and personal use
These would be great projects to do as couples. It's always nice to have a common hobby!!!
I loved 7-8thgrade wood shop , skills learned.
A side-by-side Before and After view would be great on the end of the video. Very impressive work.
ShangHaiku He does have before and after pictures of this.
I much prefer a restoration over a reinvention....Thanks for bringing this piece to it's former glory.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE your work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great result, every time you don't over paint the furniture I breath a sigh of relief
I used to repair furniture while working in a furniture store when I was in high school. On that ring I would have wet it down, place a wet towel over it and used a hot iron to try and raise the grain so that you could sand it down to an even level.
I rarely subscribe. Every tutorials should be like this! Simple, no annoying ass backround music, informative and straight up no bs unlike my ex. lol
You are so right about finding matching nightstands
great video, no frivolous banter, no annoying music, just clear information
I am so glad someone is saving this Mid-Century modern furniture.
You make this look so easy, I feel like I could do something like this myself even though I've never refinished furniture before.
Why not do it?
It’s a fun hobby I assure you you will not make money doing it!
The worlds different than it was 40 years ago’
People don’t spend hundreds of dollars on furniture anymore’
I agree with all the love in the comments. No loud intrusive music=check, calming relaxing voice=check, Bob Ross of Furniture Restoration=check. I have no idea how I got here but glad I was here.
Looks good to me!!!!!. Thomas Johnson's tag line.......... the nerve. Good work by the way, keep it up.
I love the way these somewhat nondescript little furniture pieces acquire such a dignity and presence through the restoration process. Great work.
It’s so satisfying watching you turn something old and damaged into something new and beautiful again! Gorgeous job. ❤️
I really love the GENERAL FINISHES products, cures very hard
Very nice video presentation. No music make it more pleasant. Good job.
Your gel stain matches your walnut stain so dang well. Good job.
he ruined the piece by staining it. He had the wood wrong. It's Teak, not Walnut
@@JimA-pp2nu Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I've been reading these comments, and you keep saying the same thing. Do you think no one is listening? I have heard you, but I did not like or dislike, because it is your opinion. You might be technically correct, but this kind of thing is more about perception, personal tastes, and improving the world by making it a better place. There it was, sadly sitting at the bottom of a junk pile, and he brought it back to life, made many people feel calm by watching the vid, and inspired them to try it for themselves. Therefore, he might of ruined it in your eyes, but you can see by the many positive comments that other people think he created a masterpiece.
If someone were to build this cabinet for a client today, the price would be many hundreds of dollars... probably in the realm of $550-$650. I've never understood why older furniture loses value simply because of its age. Great restoration!
It loses value because people don't want to buy it. - >insert any economics book you want
Bottom line for me is that it doesn't loose it's value. If it does, then I keep it. I think of all the beautiful pieces of antique furniture that would come into the Salvation Army. There were complete bedroom suites, complete dining room sets, etc. At that time, people were putting no value at all on these pieces. Today, one of those bedroom suites would sell for thousands of $$$'s. I would expect to pay that much. I have my parents' old bedroom set that my mother bought used for $59. Someone at one time did a pretty bad job of refinishing. My mom used it the way it was. She also had the old dining room set that my grandparents used when my mother was a kid. My grandfather rescued it from somewhere so it was already pretty old. It's solid oak. He bought a new unfinished oak server to go with it. I have that now. The bedroom set's finish has worn off basically. I will be removing the rest of the finish and will make sure it is cleaned very well. I need to get the hardware needed for the key holes. All of the drawers lock with a skeleton key. I've got a very old child's oak rocking chair that I must repair. My mother pulled off the veneer and actually pulled off some of the wood with it. I have been working over in my mind what I will be doing to rescue that. My grandfather rescued it from the dump and brought it home and repaired the seat to it and made a new back. That little child's rocking chair must be at least 150 years old. My mother and all of her siblings (12 kids) used that little rocking chair, and myself and all my brothers and sisters used it as well. Now I have it, and it needs to be rescued. My grandfather was an old Norwegian carpenter that used to rebuild/refinish antique furniture or unfinished furniture. I also have a black walnut octagon occasional table that I need to clean up. After I get everything repaired and cleaned up, someone in my family had better see to it that it gets passed along to family. I will have done my part by making sure all of it survives. The quality of the furniture is SO much better then anything new you can buy now. I can guarantee you that the finish I put on furniture far exceeds any finish that is on the new furniture as well.
Why does older furniture loses value?
Long story short: Because it's good for what's called the 'Economy.'
Keywords: GDP, growth, employment, fashion, marketing, influence, profit.
Irrelevant keywords: Environment, natural resources, energy, war, pollution, health, freedom, future, life,... to name a few.
@@xopheoscarmike9458 That's a bit pessimistic. Mostly it has to do with style. Style for everything now changes faster than in any time in history. It used to last centuries then half centuries, then a generation now only a few years. That said there are always some styles that never fall out of fashion. The difficulty is older pieces is that there is massive cost in getting a piece from where and when it is to where the demand is. Moving furniture is more expensive than the cost to buy new. That kills the value. The cost to store furniture is also massive. As older stuff is more unique it will take longer to match up a buyer and a seller. Who is going to store this for free?
You're right, @RainCity84. Or rather, you have the facts right. But facts don't make people either optimistic or pessimistic. What are the consequences of those facts? Are they positive? Can they be reversed? What are the causes? Can those be changed?
it looks beautiful
It came out nice.
You have a relaxing voice.
You should read audio books for a living if the whole furniture restoration thing doesn't work out. 😊
I fell asleep watching this, and not because I wasn't interested!
@@MatthewLiegey me too!
sounds like joe pera
He does!
You definitely have a "radio" voice! 🙂
If I ever won the lottery and was a multimillionaire... this is what I would do. I'd buy/collect good old furniture that needed TLC and I would lovingly restore it, and then give it away to someone in need.
saaaame
@zzz43452 so don't give it to someone who actually needs it? Just someone who likes wood and probably already has a lot of wood, since you said a woodworker... and why would I sell it? I'm a multimillionaire in the scenario...
@zzz43452 why are you so convinced that people in need of furniture won't appreciate it? You make it sound like it is 2 mutually exclusive things...?
@zzz43452 that's a pretty jaded view of the world... I'm sorry. I hope things get better *big comforting hugz* take care
@ng da Because the charity part was secondary. The passion would be in the restoration of old things. Better things. And I don't that now because I live paycheck to paycheck, I live in a one bedroom apartment in an apartment complex on the 2nd floor with limited space and noise ordinances and because I work 6 days 50+ hours a week and don't have the time. But, if I were a millionaire, I'd have all the time, all the space and can work all night (I work night shift, I have almost my whole life) and not worry about making noise. There. I answered your question... still waiting for you too answer mine...
So relaxing to watch.
Very nice video. Thank you.
I have a couple of vintage sewing cabinets that I've been thinking about refinishing, this video had given me the confidence to start the project!
It's clear this is a labor of love and not profit motivating you. We are definitely the beneficiaries of your dedication to your craft.
Nice work,Thanks!
Love the final product!
I enjoy the ongoing commentary explaining every step in a calming voice. Good Job!
sell it as a record cabinet rather than a night table might help the value
That's a good idea. I'll have to see if records will fit.
@@user93237 not in a deceptive way but as in a different way to use the piece i use things for different purposes all the time :)
Or a bar cart. I think it's too big to be an end table or night stand. More like an occasional table.
Thats what I was thinking, I've notice some people retrofit older stereo systems with new tech. So awesome.
Yes totally sell it as a record cabinet!! Amazing!
Now it's a cute little storage cabinet.
What a great documentary and such a relaxing voice!
I wasn't sleepy but after this video I'm much more relaxed 😄 thanks guy
Oh man... that voice... it's sounds soooo depressed...
Just found this channel. What a wonderful calm video! I mean no distracting music - just that nice calm voice and pace. Loved it.
Okay UA-cam, I finally watched that video you've been recommending to me for like a year now. And yeah, it was good. Sometimes I just resent you being right about what I might like.
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
I live in a mid century modern house with a TON of wood. Some is good, but other parts (doors/closets/baseboards/built in) need some love. I came across this and while its not exactly what I need, I stayed and watched the whole video. Nice work!
Lucky you !
I like the verbal explanation as you work. I will be watching more and subscribing
I love your simple straightforward narration. Your finished product is beautiful.
Who needs Netflix when I have this guy, this is so Zen to watch . He is the Bob Ross of furniture …. I will stay home on the weekends for this content …..who needs to go out?

Beautiful!
so soothing, informative and interesting. Thanks for these videos.
Thank you for taking the time to explain the process, the tools and products you used.
Thanks for watching.
@@DashnerDesignRestoration Can you list the products you used?
I skimmed through just to see what this was all about but by the end I went back and watched the whole thing again. Very nice.
I love mid-century furniture
It came out gorgeous!
Definitely worth at least $250. Beautiful work
Sir, your voice is incredibly soothing.
Nice finish on a simple piece! I like it.
Great finished product! 👏🏾
Great words of wisdom at the beginning, a lot of people seem to think the road to restoration is paved with gold. You have to know what you are doing both restoration and business wise to make any real money.
Your restoration here was very nice indeed, well done.
The legs on this piece have a mid century modern "vibe" which is hot with the under 30 crowd in our area. I think you could get $180.00 for it if you advertise it as a liquor cabinet. Add hanging wine glass and champagne flutes storage to the inside and put door storage on the inside for mini bottles and a vintage wine bucket along with a vintage wine rack to go over the top, you could ask for $500 for the lot and a designer would pay for it.
Gosh I would have definitely paid more than $125 for that beautiful piece. The care alone is worth triple that!! 👍🏽👍🏽
First MCM restoration I’ve seen in ages where the piece was NOT painted with a spray gun. Thank you for taking your time and honoring the wood grain.
Informative and Enjoyable To Watch 🌿
Love your pragmatic approach, and you can't argue with the results.
Job well done. Great informative video with not a lot unnecessary chatter. One of the better diy videos I've seen on youtube. Keep'em coming.
Nice color match.
Not everyone has a shop for this kind of work but still wants to restore furniture pieces that were made the old fashioned way. Mine was made by my grandfather. Thank you for posting this.
I would buy it in a second. Fabulous work as always
Nicely done, minimal restoration to revive an old piece and keep it out of the dumpster. very well done and informative thanks for sharing.
it's NOT Walnut, it's Teak
That came out beautiful!!
I really enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing the video. It's appreciated.
Always nice to see true furniture restoration. 👍🏻
It makes me sick to so many beautiful pieces of vintage furniture out there coated in bad paint.
A horrible sight to see.
I hear you, not all old pieces should be painted. But some should. Check out General Finishes Facebook page. Their milk paints are really nice.
I bought a tall table with a smallish top at a garage sale for $10. It was red on outside with white paint underneath it, but it was a little heavy for what it looked like (looked cheap, veneer, but heaviness led me to think so,I’d wood.). It also had alot of pretty carving detail on the “stalk”. I was taking another piece of furniture in to have it stripped and stained (a laminated, curvy dressing table that I didn’t trust myself to ruin because laminate was thin) so I brought in this table as well for stripping, but I was going to stain it.
The guy who stripped it offered me $250 for it once he had stripped it, but I kept it, stained it, and still have it.
I asked one lady who does a lot of painting wood white or other pastels in the trendy chalk paints, and distressing them - asked her what about wood grain pieces just being refinished. She said everybody wants the painted, farmhouse looking pastel furniture and no one wants the wood grain anymore.
Not this person. If wood, wood grain can be saved, I’d rather see that, EVEN THO I DO like some of the painted furniture, lol. I sound very fickle, don’t I ?
It's so awful to paint vintage furniture! Restoring to its original glory is best. No paint, no chalk paint, just no.
@@XX-pl3tm
One thing for sure, and I'm no expert, antique furniture should not only not be painted they shouldn't refinished.
I actually liked the two toned colour of the piece. The dark on the top and the light base. Great restoration. ❤️
I thought the same thing!
Nice work!
I live in an area in which many elderly people go from large houses to retirement homes or nursing homes. They can’t take all of their furniture, and many of them or their people send the nice furniture to consignment shops. I just moved here and was told by my realtor to check a local shop or two. Well, i was astonished at the prices. I bought three lovely wild black cherry Henkel Harris tables for less than $500 total. I ended up furnishing my new place with beautiful solid wood furniture for a fraction of the cost of shabby new stuff. I had no idea such a resource existed. The store I used is very picky about what they take, and everything is immaculate and safe to use. There is one additional expense, however....getting heavy wood furniture moved from the store to home. I was smitten with the pieces and spent the extra, and still came out ahead. Before you buy veneer pasted onto mdf, you might want to check around. I still can’t believe my good luck!
I couldn't sleep. Thank you - your voice is really reassuring and this was as educational as it was calming! That's a beautiful project! Well done
Omg, how have I not found this till now. This is so relaxing!
So easy to understand. Thank you for this video.
Thank you for doing what you do.
You did good on this piece. I would say you likely put a much better finish on it then it ever had to begin with. I love when I do that!
The wood finish is beautiful and how you fixed it's leg was interesting.
Nice job. Wood looks like Teak, especially base. Difficult to find solid Teak furniture now. Newer pieces are all laminate. Love Mid-Century/Danish. Thanks for sharing.
No chalk paint... LOOVe it. Keep up the good work
I like the way you narrate your video. Looking forward to see other videos on redoing furniture. You did good on this piece.
You did a beautiful restoration, plus you must have the patience of a saint!
Beautiful restoration job. Using walnut stain is not as dark as it shown on the label. After wiping off the excess, it looks medium tone. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
That turned out really nice!
Well done. I'm on my way out to my back yard to stain some unfinished shelving, now that you've put me in the mood for woodworking.
I listen to his voice to fall asleep. So soothing. Furniture stuff is cool too☺️
Wow! Looks fabulous!
Learn so much from your videos...thank you!
If I lived near you I'd buy that thing in a new york minute! Love the finish; great job!
Love how it turned out. So pretty and neat and clean.
Waoo. that was a wonderful video. Great work !!!!! This MID CENTURY CABINET" was gorgeous man. Thanks for sharing .
