Note from a soapmaker: when using lye, ALWAYS wear full coverage clothing. Long sleeves, long pants, closed-toe shoes, apron, gloves, and goggles. It WILL melt your skin off. ☠️

I swear being a carpenter must be the most relaxing and rewarding hobby. I must learn this and be one.

Beautiful. Broyhill commercials are streaming through my head. It was always a name synonymous with quality.

This mid-century style of furniture got its name because it was a series commemorating the inauguration of the city of Brasília and the transfer of the capital of Brazil. And out of curiosity, there is a table like this at the Museu do Catetinho in Brasília and which belonged to President Juscelino Kubitschek, then president of Brazil at the time of the city's inauguration. Greetings from Brasília - Brazil!

Your comment is informative and appreciated.

My mother and dad got this table in 1965 ordered straight from Broyhill with matching chairs and the matching buffet console.

To quote an old friend, "I think it looks pretty good."

I´m so looking forward to the day this guy buys some led-lights for his shop so it will be possible to see what he is doing. The colour things he is doing sounds interresting. 🤔

Some years ago I was a volunteer at a local storefront branch library. There was a children's table in very bad shape. Years of bad fixes, layers of wood grain shelf paper. I removed those layers, stripped the finish and applied new stain and new finish. While there was still some "stress marks" left It came out looking great. It was made of Solid Maple and I discovered a great high grade commercial table. The librarian told the County Library HQ of it and officials came over to view that table. Don't dismiss old furniture as a lost cause, repair it, refinish and enjoy such furniture. Good job on your table

Very nice restoration... It's always wonderful to see something that is garbage turned into something beautiful and useful again.

Somewhere someone said " Art is that which conceals art " ....great table !

What a beautiful table and transformation. So impressive!

Broyhill produced great quality furniture in the mid-century. I recognized it. That particular design was very popular. You did a magnificent job of restoration. It made my heart sing. Well done! Carol from California

My grandparents had one very similar. Solid poplar core with laminate on surface.

What fun to see you put this gorgeous table back together. I was working in a buying office in New York With when the Brasilia line of furniture was introduced. It seemed that every bride in the office ordered Brasilia furniture for their apartment or house. I came from a family with beautiful old furniture in each room. This idea of ordering a home full of furniture was new to me. Here we are all these years later and the fine design of the table shines through!

I like the way you bring old stuff back to a new life. This time the video seemed a little dark.

Holy crap, that's a massive transformation! Probably one of the biggest transformations on your channel. You can't even tell that it was literal roadside garbage. I'd go as far as to say it's one of my favorite looking ones you've done so far, that finish and color is gorgeous!

I'm 57 now and I swear my mom had this table when I was little, like 3 years old!!

The finish looks like dark roasted coffee beans! Love it.

I think the table will look fine with a full size solid color cloth laying upon it. A pumpkin orange cloth would accent the legs. You did well editing the video. Good job overall. 👍👍👍

Good job. The latch was correct. It sits in an unlocked position with no leaves. When you pull it apart to add leaves, there are holes in the track where the “hook” drops in and holds it in place. This is so one person can extend the table the correct distance to add a leaf. Then after the leaf is removed, you unlock the track to close it back up. There are instructions out on the internet from the 50s and 60s from Broyhill that demonstrate how it works. Looks great. Great save.

Dope! You brought new life to an otherwise doomed table. Someone can enjoy this for another 50 years or so.

Great job! I love to see abandoned furniture saved.

Goodness, what a lovely transformation! That seemed like quite a lot of work, so I hope you sell it (unless you're keeping it, of course). And, as ever, it's a mixture of interesting and informative, as well as restful to watch - I always really enjoy your videos. Thank you.

Something that probably would have ended up in the trash heap had you not taken it. Was brought back to life, with you knowledge and gentle handling. It's beautiful. Always look forward to your videos, it's a pleasure to watch you work.

Utterly lovely. After all that hard work, the table looks like a ballerina on point ❤

I'm amazed how beautiful it turned out

So beautiful👏🏻a very god video. I am from Denmark and enjoy every video you make, they are very relaxing for me

This is very, very similar to the old table I got for $5 and which I copied all your methods to try to fix it up! It worked and it's now in my house and it's used every day - I love it... Lovely to watch this video..

ah, at last! a humble talented craftsman, who doesn't spoil the show with relentless smart-arsed babble. bliss

I thought that I heard the table rejoicing! Did my heart good to watch your kindness to history.

Holy crap...that's our dining room table from my childhood!

You did an amazing job in restoring the table. Looking at the after photo you would never know it had been in such rough shape. Thanks to the local viewer for rescuing it.

Wow! Absolutely beautiful. I am always bewitched when watching you work. I cant tear my eyes away. Phone ringing? Leave a message. I'm busy watching the furniture magician do his magic.

Love your calm delivery.

Sooooo much more patience than I have. Glad there’s people like this in the world. Looks great.

You are truly a gifted craftsman. One of the reasons I followed your channel is that you don't paint the wood, but stain it. Painting wood is sacrilege in my opinion.

Turned out beautiful. I did not think it would, and was very surprised.

I have finished and refinished more furniture pieces than I can count. In my humble opinion, I think you did a fantastic job. 👍

Oh well done. It is a beautiful table... a pleasure to watch your restoration of it.

You are the first KZread refinisher I've seen that used a tannin reactive stain! I LOVE using them and ask glad to hear l see them getting some love❤️ If you want to darken the stain you can make strong tea and wash it over the wood which will add tannin to increase the reaction of the stain.

First of your vids to make me audibly gasp. What a stunning piece.

love seeing restoration of old furniture, making old tired pieces into renewed living beauties. Keep up the good work.

Oooh, I have been patiently impatient (lol) waiting for this one, and as always- you knocked it clear out of the park. So thankful you were able to save this. ❤️ I have a teak one coming up that is going to need a miracle. Lol

I've always loved mid century furniture. It will never age. We inherited a late 1940-50's formal dining set. It's been difficult finding a furniture rehab person. I might just try this method. Thank you

You sir are a miracle worker! I thought just for a minute, this one might be a lost cause but of course I was wrong. Bravo 👏🏽 👏🏽

That table has a beautiful shape and the color combinations you made brought it to life. Thanks for sharing.

Damn! I love that dark color. Now it feels like it’s from the later years of mid-century, like the mis-70s, when the manufacturers were still producing the same styles but wanted to give them a more post-modern feel.

I can't get over how beautiful that color is. Amazing job.

Your videos remind me of those old PBS programs. Very relaxing to watch .

Wow! That seemed to be your greatest challenge so far. It came out SO good. Ready for another 50 years!

Wow. Beautiful work. ❤❤ My favorite part…”Thanks for watching…*bark bark bark bark bark*” 😂😂😂

This turned out beaitiful My parents had this table when I was little about mid 60s. The chairs had leather seats and the back.was rounded wood to match. Love watching your channel.

Absolutely beautiful. You should be proud! Didn’t notice the lovely form of the legs till you were finished.

Inspiring to us hobbyists. Thank you!

I love how you frame your finished product shots, always an aesthetic delight

The table looks great now. I learn something about finishing, patching and or repairing furniture on each of your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us.

Your formula of combining vinegar and steel wool is a variation of something called ebonizing which when it comes in contact with wood darkens (blackens) the surface. Very nice work and good bit of patience.

Inexpensive goods when new...looks much better than when it came off the factory floor. Congratulations, superlative work.

Well done! this shows that even a piece that looks to far gone can be saved from the land fill.

We have nearly the identical table. Got from a guy who was downsizing; it had belonged to his grandparents. I’ve been too apprehensive about refinishing it but this video has given me wings!!

I think that deep rich color really suits the style of the table. Good job!

Great job! Looks very nice. I once got lucky with an old, hand-made maple dining table. Decades before, someone set a hot dish on it, and left a deep, black mark, about 8 inches per side of a square. My wife said she remembered seeing the burn on it when she was a child, and we ain't exactly children any more. Figuring I had nothing to lose, I decided to see if I could remove it and upgrade the table overall. I took a belt sander to it (don't remember the grit) and it came out, with no damage to the table. After further sanding and care, the thing looked beautiful, and we still use it daily. I just figured a belt sander would butcher it, but no, it turned out great. Like I said, I got lucky.

Mister Dashner, I built on your techniques, sort of: 20 mm syringe, 18 and 22 gauge needles (all from livestock supply). Sacrificed one needle by breaking of needle part and blocking the end with superglue or something that will harden and seal. Cap syringe and fill with wood glue and use to fill those nasty little cracks. The 22 gauge takes a bit of pressure, but it will carry glue deep inside the smallest cracks. 18 gauge is more utilitarian but much quicker to expell glue. And you can buy syringes with 18 gauge needles in a single package. Then, after wiping excess glue, use green inch wide tape used to tie plants to trellises and such between clamp or wood used to prevent marringl and project. Even Gorilla glue won't stick to it and you can reuse one piece infinitely, avoid detection by the gardener from which you liberated it. Thanks for all the wonderful hints, techniques, and skill you share with us. Just another fan

A simple but very elegant style, with a classic finish. Good work!

wow, that final dark walnut colour is gorgeous

It is curious that an almost identical table, even in details, was produced in the USSR in the seventies of the twentieth century. I had one. You have awakened my nostalgia. Well done job. Like.

What a beautiful piece. The tappered thin legs really make it stand out.

I knew from the beginning that this table was going to be transformed because of your many wood restoration talents!! Many thanks for sharing!

Always a treat to see your work. You have inspired me to save several Danish teak and mid century pieces from the thrift store. Thanks for being such a great resource.

I have learned so much from watching your videos -- your editing, know-how, methods, and patience -- thank you so much!

Beautiful work. That table screams mid-century modern. 😆 In fact my parents may have had one. Oh love the ambient noise. 🐕🐾

That now looks like a thousand dollar table. Well worth saving it!

In 1967 my mother got a bedroom and dining room suite in Brasília. She sold the dining room suite but I have the mint condition bedroom entire set. Just gorgeous! Nice job!

It’s beautiful! I wish more people would treasure things rather than throw them out.

Seems like yesterday when that style was new... late 50s... "Danish Modern." Not really Mid Century Modern, but from that time. Great job. Thanks for all the detail you showed in restoring the old girl. Amazing what you can do. Looks new. Beautiful.

That table is exactly like the one our family had when I was a child. That transformation makes me wish I had it again.

"Thanks for watching".... Thanks for making the video!!! Truly awesome piece of MCM!!! Looking forward to more!!!!

Congratulations on giving that pleasant dining table a new lease on life for many more years to come.

I have a similar table and have been waiting for one of you guys to show me how to bring it back to life! Thank you!

Ohhh wow! What an extremely elegant table this has become. Unrecognizable! Fantastic! Never thought one could repair such a tiny little corner!

Beautiful as always! Your videos are most enjoyable…as are the chirping birds☺️ The table is gorgeous!!! I always learn from you! Thank you for sharing😃

Dang that’s a beautiful piece of mid century furniture. Love it

You sir are amazing, however you have me in a quandary. Your videos are ASMR inducing, and I find you sound edit so soothing, but I need to stay awake to see what you are doing

I love the rich dark finish!

A magician at work. Quite lovely.

A job well done.I like the idea of the steel wool and vinegar stain.The finished project looks fantastic.

Beautifully designed Danish Modern! Dantier than a lot I've seen. 😄

Boy, lots of knowledge I’ll probably never use. But you do fantastic work and you saved a really beautiful table.

this was a good project for you to display your refinishing artistry as well as your refinishing problem-solving skills. it's nice to see you again. thanks to the viewer who gave you the table. i wonder if you will be keeping the table for use in your home or if you are planning to sell it. it's a beautiful makeover.
