I have a home full of beautiful mid century pieces that I’ve collected ever since I was in high school. For example, I had my parents buy me a perfect condition mid century modern bedroom set instead of throwing me a graduation party :) I want to refinish just about half of my furniture but won’t until my kids are in college! I redid a few end tables and coffee table just to have the kids spill drinks on them, use them as a launch pad, and take chunks out of the veneer. This channel is giving me so much inspiration!

The whole time I'm watching your videos. My mind keeps repeating "oh, I love these videos!" I especially appreciate how you don't skip steps. I like watching the finish removal as much as the application of finish. And as always, your relaxed delivery of info. Almost bordering on AMSR.

Last week, I'd seen what I thought was a small end table across the road with some other furniture - free. My friend knew I was interested in it and rescued it for me. This morning, I brought it home. It's not an end table, but a small sewing bench with an upholstered top that lifts completely off. Love it! It could still be used for a seat or a place to rest a coffee cup. I love to sew and quilt and enjoy vintage fabrics, so when I lifted the bench and saw vintage sewing notions in the storage area, that was pure gold! It's in very good shape, just needs some touch-ups and new upholstery. And now, I've discovered your channel. Thanks so much!

We ALMOST, ALMOST saw the face behind the voice. A beautiful restoration as always, lucky you finding it on the side of the road!

Wow, a 30 minutes of relaxing... And, "you have some power tools?" I always thought you have only spatula, flat screw driver, utility blade and tons of stripper 😊 just kidding, thanks for the effort, Sir...

I've inherited several mid-century pieces from my parents, and will inherit more in the future, so I've become fascinated with your channel's many mid-century restorations. This is a beautiful credenza, and I'm glad you were the one to find it.

I came here for furniture restoration ideas and found something amazing and unexpected. Not only is he skilled with restoring furniture, this this guy's voice is so calm and soothing I'm going to come here whenever I need to relax or can't fall asleep. He should start a podcast or something. Also, thank you for the awesome video, it was very informative! Glad I found your channel.

Another EXCELLENT restoration video from dashner design! Thank you sir! You are the Bob Ross of furniture!

So nice to see someone actually take the time to restore a mid-century piece instead of just painting over it. Beautiful job!

The veneer repairs were fascinating! Thanks so much for your work.

I love this credenza. Broyhill was always a great classic piece of furniture. Thanks for reviving it.

That handle hole repair nearly killed me. Your patience is commendable

I actually went to a school specifically for furniture repair. When you can blend colors how you did with that wood, it really is an art form. It's surprising how much red there is in a lot of brown stain that people don't realize.

Enjoyed the long-form episode. Great work and storytelling, as usual. It is cool to see your troubleshooting for existing and unexpected issues. There are a lot of “little” things you do to repair and restore these pieces. You are an artist. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, you did some pretty meticulous patching work there, bro. Awesome! Love to see people with a heart for quality work. 😎

WOW, absolutely beautiful, and a pleasure to watch, very peaceful, thank you, it's such a joy to watch.

Great video. So glad you have recovered from your accident and are back to your old self. Thank you for showing the detailed vener repair. I need to repair my mid century dresser that was my grandmother's.

Amazing restoration. Free broyhill credenza. The last one you did was in better shape. Trash to treasure instead of landfill

I loved the stain color. It came out beautiful. The large patch was invisible after you did the coloring on it. I don't think anyone will see it unless they get up close and personal with that part of the bottom edge. Again it turned out just wonderful.

LOVE how detailed your videos are. Am idea for maybe a set of videos would be to really dumb down everything for those of us that really don't know how to use some of the tools you use. Maybe do a beginner's segment.

This was a great video. I also found an antique piece on the curb that I will need to strip completely. Unfortunately, the veneer was painted black...and I see that in some areas, it is starting to peel off. This video will help me refinish this piece! Thanks for taking the time to show us your talent/skills.

Great job. You the kind of person I would love to have for a friend - finding stuff, restoring it while having a relaxing conversation.

So cool that you fixed the round over incident instead of trashing that end piece. My desire for expanding my patience and ingenuity has been stoked.

I'm loving the calmness of your voice and no background music. It is easier to follow your progress. Thanks

You've taken your videos to another level with this very special appearance of doggo! 🐕 Waggy tailed doggo even tops ...dare I say it... the ice cream truck video! There were a few notable differences in this video, and all worked well. Thank you so much for your time, effort and sharing! 👏👏👏

A drill press is usually pretty cheap to come by on Craigslist. They're everywhere.

Heating up a stripped screw, good tip. You must have been a HS or community college woodworking instructor. Your cadence, ability to explain and patch is beyond a mere cabinet maker : ) It's mesmerizing to see a piece come back to life. Patching the handle was a great tutorial.

I appreciated the commentary on this video. The finished credenza looks great.

This has become my new favorite episode. There was a variety of repairs and little artistic tips for making those repairs appear more natural. You did an absolute wonderful job on the serving tray. I so enjoyed this from beginning to end. Thank you.

Love to see how this piece changed from a tired, dated, clunky piece of furniture into a modern, beautiful throwback. You do such a great job saving furniture and reminding us all to take a little more care and attention with what we already have instead of just throwing it out and buying a new one. Thank you. :)

The trim on the front of this cabinet is so stunning. Thank you for saving this beauty ❤️❤️❤️

Very nice job. Lots of good tips. I really like the way you subtly blended in that grain line. A lot of art to restoration, and you are an artist.

Hell yeah! Thank you for the new video. I've become addicted to watching and listening to your voice overs.

You are so gentle and be careful. Treat the cabinet like a lover. Great job.

You do such a good job of telling not only WHAT you are doing but WHY you are doing it, if you are not a teacher you should be. IMHO Another marvelous bit of restoration.

Awesome job. I’m looking for something like this to use as a bathroom vanity in my log home.

Beautiful job (from a former shop teacher who taught cabinetmaking).

Nice to see other people who enjoy saving furniture.

Why do I feel all is right in the world when watching these videos?! So calming, so peaceful, so PBS.

Very glad you added the “before” and “after” pictures right next to each other at the end. I really think your finished furniture deserves a better picture though. If you could put a little rug on the corner with (faux) drapes in the back, it will give you a lot better picture of the furniture with little light. Just a suggestion.. Your quality of work is really amazing.

You are the Julian Baumgartner to Furniture Restoration. True master. Shame it doesn't pay as much as Art Restoration.

I was at the edge of my seat watching you apply that veneer patch. First, I saw that the cut was too large. Would it fit? Then, the patch is too thin! But you added a second layer. Then it was sticking out on the sides. Cool, you chiseled it to size. Oh no, you're gonna tear it off from the top! The blade is getting caught on the veneer and you're cutting towards yourself! Thankfully you know what you're doing, and watching you finally sand it all down was so satisfying. But let me tell you, those were the most intense four minutes of my life!
