Thanks for watching everyone! I noticed I forgot to add the sanding clips at the end. After cleaning everything with water (allowing it to dry) I sanded the entire piece with 240 grit and cleaned it with a tack cloth. Then I applied the Odie's Oil. - Jamie
You did a great job with this piece of furniture. You don’t have to speed up the video so much. Some of us enjoy watching the work in progress. It’s not boring. Thanks for being part of this challenge.😊
Amazing, seeing it online I thought it would be a decent project but I had no clue it would be a nice danish teak piece! I got lucky. Thanks for watching
Not quite true, though. Gunnar Tibergaard isn’t a name that’s very sought-after here in Denmark. Maybe other European countries value these kind of mid century teak furnitures higher. In Denmark this would be between 500-650 USD in good condition. Danish people really wants lighter wood like oak and beech. Still a great restoration though.
there were two holes in the top, and they looked bad and were crumbly. So, painting it is easier for a layperson than fixing it. And I wonder if those dark marks on the drawer fronts were there before the painting
Because of the things he discovered under the paint. You have to remember even 10-15years ago there wasn't the wealth of knowledge available that there is now about products and techniques and sometimes ppl do the best they can.
@@NatashaEstrada Plus, this guy is a dedicated furniture restorer, with a shop and tools and experience. For someone who needed that piece of furniture but had limited skills, painting was probably a wis move. If nothing else, it sealed and protected the wood until it could end up in the custody of someone who wanted to-and was able to-restore it.
If you don’t know how to do all this, you paint it. I don’t know how to do this stuff but I have been watching these to learn so I can redo some pieces from my grandparents.
I'm here from Flipping Drawers announcing the challenge, but I'm about 3/4 of the way through the playlist. So, yes, I'm new here, but right off the bat I want to say a big thank you for starting this all out with a lead test!
Persistence with the oxalic acid certainly paid off. Thank you for this beautiful addition to the MCM Challenge. Teak is such a classic in Danish Modern furniture. I love how this restoration glows with new life. ❤🏆👌✨️❤️
I love hearing the hockey game in the background. Until I saw your comment I thought it was a UK soccer game! It sounded like you had your own cheering squad supporting you with every stroke of the steel wool.
Glad that you participated in the MCM Challenge otherwise I would never have found your posts. Very nicely restored Teak Desk. In the 1960's, I had a Teak sideboard with IDENTICAL handles! Brought back many memories. I've no idea where it is now. Probably painted purple and sitting in someone's garage now :(
Teak is such a gorgeous wood. Your project turned out really nice. I hope you do a little video on the color paints when you do the filled in holes, I'd like to see it.
Nice job! The water in the stripper reacting with the original finish is possibly what stained the wood. I had some teak/walnut lamp bases that got wet when they were mostly bare wood and they turned black. Didn't try any oxalic acid on them as they were pretty beat up already.
Yes thankfully it worked after a handful of applications... and lol I was rushing to get this video completed for the deadline and of course had to miss something 🤣 Thanks for watching tequeena :)
Beautiful end result! You are a skilled craftsman. Thanks for joining this challenge so those of us new to your channel can follow along with your work.
First time viewer. Trying to watch all the MCM challenges that other restoration ppl are so generously posting to promote. I enjoyed the piece you restored and I think out of the 10 I’ve watched so far, you have the most unique piece. Most ppl who watch these kind of videos enjoy half hour or even longer. If you slow down your video a bit I think you would get more ppl to come back. (Subscribers)You need to know you’re worth it bc you do very good wrk. Good luck and keep um coming. New subscriber today. Thank you
I found you through the challenge. Thank you for taking part. This is quite a transformation! That paint job was such an abomination. I appreciated the lead test footage.
Nice job! I think those stains were probably from the citristrip. I had the same thing happen last time I used it years ago. Citristrip used to be good but then they changed the formula and it’s not so good anymore.
I'm here for the MCM challenge. Beautiful restoration! Way to try new things. It turned out great!! I hit subscribe so I can see how you tackle the holes. WELL DONE MAN!!!
Many people don’t realize that when you Paint a piece of furniture with regular paint you would use on drywall hous interiors especially in wet climates, the likelihood that Rot will ensue under the paint & Mold will grow is strong. As shown by this little Teak floating drawer desk. Another reason I don’t like painted furniture. This was a great restoration of this valuable Mid Century Modern cleaver Teak Floating Drawer Desk. Turned out very pretty . Blessings from Dozer, Butter Bean & me in Garden Ridge Texas❤
What an amazing restoration. It is absolutely gorgeous. You did a fantastic job. I know those spots that need blending will come out great once you get all the materials you need. I suggest doing the "corrective paint" in layers. Angie from Transcend Furniture has had a lot of success with camouflaging spots. Thanks for sharing your amazing teak desk with us.
I did like the video. You are a very thorough workman, and the piece shows that your attention to detail will serve you will in getting the small details that you want to improve on done right. I subscribed to your channel today because I'm eager to see what else you get into. When you get all your repairs done on this little guy, add it to a another video as a followup. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to see how the repairs turned out. Looking forward to more!!
Love the piece, did a great job considering all the challenges. I am anxious to see how you address the holes because I have a piece with similars issues. I really like your editing, I have a difficult time watching longer videos.
Spectacular restore on the desk. Shabbyguy ran into that issue with Citristip not too long ago on a Provincial top. He doesn't touch the stuff no more.
Great job. You are tenacious. Great to be part of the challenge. I follow some of the other participants channels. Watch them all, repeated times. Some are very knowledgeable. Keep it up😊
When I encounter such issues with damage I have found that a gel stain goes a long way to hide and blend the damage and repairs. I usually save pure oil finishes for pristine pieces only because Im never happy with seeing the repairs. Really looking forward to seeing how it turns out after trying the mohawk colours! 👍
I loved watching the restoration. Thanks for checking the lead count. One thing causing the stain may be leaving the stripper on overnight. Many other UA-cam restorers take it off within 15 minutes to an hour. But I have never done it so I am guessing. You have top of the line wood and put real effort into the cleaning. It should be fine. I have subscribed.
Gorgeous restoration. The drawers seemed to catch when you took them out so I wish you had shown what was causing that and what you did to fix that issue. Thanks for the lesson.😊 I have restored a lot of furniture (not professionally) and always love to learn more.
Thanks for watching! The drawers are actually perfect on this desk, possibly the paint just slowing down the glide, but other than that they are in perfect condition.

You're only human. I had to joke in my comment. At least you called it a desk right? 😂
😢9l
You did a great job with this piece of furniture. You don’t have to speed up the video so much. Some of us enjoy watching the work in progress. It’s not boring. Thanks for being part of this challenge.😊
This desk in good condition is valued 2500 dollars here in Europe. Great job taking it back to its glory.

2500$😂 on which planet??
Flipping Draws brought me here! ✊🏾
I'll never understand why people cover up such beautiful wood with paint. 1000% improvement.

My thoughts exactly.😢

That is an elegant desk. Great job Jamie 😃
Thanks Jay, happy I could join in on this challenge with everyone 😀

What a gorgeous makeover! I’m a first time viewer but I will be back. I love your filming/editing style. You say so much without saying a word 😊
Thank you so much!! :)
I love the restoration on the desk. Breaking it down to it's individual pieces increases your work but makes such an incredible restoration.
Glad you enjoyed the process!
Persistence with the oxalic acid certainly paid off.
Thank you for this beautiful addition to the MCM Challenge. Teak is such a classic in Danish Modern furniture. I love how this restoration glows with new life. ❤🏆👌✨️❤️
I deeply appreciate the hockey portion of the program. Excellent work on the desk, too!
Same here :D
I had forgotten about these, but yes, they used to be pretty common when I was a kid … 👍🏻
I love hearing the hockey game in the background. Until I saw your comment I thought it was a UK soccer game!
It sounded like you had your own cheering squad supporting you with every stroke of the steel wool.
haha I wouldn't mind my own in person cheering squad lol thanks for watching!
I love teak. Not every project goes as planned but you made the best of it.
thanks!
Beautiful work, your patience getting all of that paint out of every crevice is admirable. I love the final piece, I’d have that in my home any day 😎
Great job!!!! Can’t wait to see how you blend those other spots out.
Thanks! Will be fun to figure out how to blend it all together. Thanks for watching :)
Is the hole in the middle of the top an appropriate place to install a cable access puck?
Glad that you participated in the MCM Challenge otherwise I would never have found your posts. Very nicely restored Teak Desk. In the 1960's, I had a Teak sideboard with IDENTICAL handles!

Great job Jamie 👍 I felt your pain when you found those holes under the paint 😮😀👍👍👍
Thanks David! Never fun finding holes haha enjoyed doing the challenge with you! 🙂
Nice job! The water in the stripper reacting with the original finish is possibly what stained the wood. I had some teak/walnut lamp bases that got wet when they were mostly bare wood and they turned black. Didn't try any oxalic acid on them as they were pretty beat up already.
A mid century modern beauty!
Gotta give whoever painted it credit they did a good job of it
Nice work Jamie! Glad to see you back in action!
The stripper left a mess, good job the acid worked. Another great job J! You forgot to sand it though 😅🤪
Yes thankfully it worked after a handful of applications... and lol I was rushing to get this video completed for the deadline and of course had to miss something 🤣 Thanks for watching tequeena :)
Dude you made that desk glow 😮!
Well done 💪
Hi Jamie. It's such an elegant table and you made it look amazing. It's fun to watch you work 😊🤗
Hi Jaime. The desk looks so much better. Thank you for salvaging this beauty!
So pretty! I think that is the exact desk my mother had for her home office (or it is such a close twin that it hardly matters). Love it.
Nice transformation!! It is gorgeous ❤
thanks :)
Great job restoring this…it turned out beautifully.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful!!
Thank you! Glad you like it!
Wow❤ you turned this into a shopcase piece. Beautifully done

That paint job was such an abomination. I appreciated the lead test footage.
Awesome! Thank you!

Your patience is amazing! I love teak wood. Thank you for all your hard work. World of difference.
Thank you very much!
Wow--gosh that looks stunning!
It looks amazing...I love mid century furniture.

Absolutely beautiful great job ❤❤❤❤
Great especially considering what it looked like before.
I was thinking they probably painted it because those stains were there. Nice work.
Totally! thanks for watching
This is amazing. The teal paint kills the appeal of furniture instantly for me, always so satisfying to see it off 😂
I am amazed at your knowledge and hard work to restore this beautiful desk. 😊
Thanks :)
Man, that was a Buzzfeed Nifty looking nightmare and you brought it back to prominence. Great job even with the discolored patches.👍🏽
Oh God, it looks so good. Super job!!!
Beautiful restoration. Plus I love teak, and just the whole look and style of the desk was fantastic. Go N.J. Devils!!
Beautiful job. It's nice to find someone who respects the beauty of wood. 😊
Love the piece, did a great job considering all the challenges. I am anxious to see how you address the holes because I have a piece with similars issues. I really like your editing, I have a difficult time watching longer videos.
She looks good.
Fantastic transformation!!
Spectacular restore on the desk. Shabbyguy ran into that issue with Citristip not too long ago on a Provincial top. He doesn't touch the stuff no more.
Maybe ill ask shabby, he is a friend of mine! Thanks for watching
You provide everything! Great work!
It looks very nice now.
Great job. You are tenacious. Great to be part of the challenge. I follow some of the other participants channels. Watch them all, repeated times. Some are very knowledgeable. Keep it up😊
