A time-saving tip for you. When removing wood plugs, if you drill a pilot hole and then drive in a screw, many times they will come out in one piece. I hope that’s helpful. Scott

I like this little table. We had a similar one in our home back in the sixties and seventies. Mom put the old rotary phone on the top shelf and put the phone book on the second shelf. There was a Lazy Boy chair on either side of the table. It was the 'Nerve Center' of our home as it was the only phone in the house. In those days, there was a pay phone on almost every corner in town. Thanks for the video.

I wonder if it would be possible to use a very sheer stain with a hint of purple in it, to neutralize some of the yellow undertones but keep the wood grain texture. Like what you do with bleached blonde hair to bring it to a more neutral platinum color.

In the early 60s my father made two end tables very much in this style at my mother's request. They were called "dough box" tables and were solidly in that, "Lucy and Desi move to Conecticut" school of "Early American" furniture. The ones he made were actual boxes - all four sides were closed and no cut outs. The top was hinged in the middle to get into the box, which was handy for storage of living room clutter, actually. But it was the same design, same leg position, box style, etc. - replicas or inspired by 18th century dough proofing boxes. Kind of a departure for you, and I enjoyed it!

Love this little table! The white stain suits it nicely. The wood grain shows through but now it feels fresh. Really enjoy your videos.🌸

Agree. This is a weird - and inelegant - design. But I like the approach to refinishing it. The white stain could be stunning on a different piece. It reminds me of something from the mid 1940's, just before the more aggressive minimalism of Mid Century Modern.

Always mesmerizing to watch! Trying something differnt was an extra bonus! Looks adorable --- a little treasure 😀

As always, your videos are a joy to watch and to listen to. I very much like how you film, and also that we have glimpses of people and animals again. And although I know that you play the guitar well, and that you could provide beautiful music as a background, I prefer the quieter and less distracting ambient sounds along with your commentary. As for the table, it looks more like it should be in a nursery than a bank, but it's a nice little thing. I like that you made it white but let the grain show through.

The white gel stain is a real departure from the classic pieces you usually do. It does suit this quirky little piece. As always, the video was well done and informative. Thank you for sharing this!

Very interesting and very different. Personally not sure I appreciate white stained wood just yet. But a good transformation from that nasty white paint. Thanks for the video!

$12.99 ? ? Inflation has hit everything. At a yard sale it would belong in the free pile.

What a funny little table! I would have passed it over, but you've done a great job of it. I'll look more closely at things I think.

This is by far one of my favorite pieces you have done. I am refinishing a bunch of early American maple furniture from the 60s and quite honestly you are an inspiration. I am however going to do it in the maple finish but this is also beautiful as well. The white washed look lens itself very nicely to this design and style. Very Scandinavian.

Nice that it is solid wood. Fab as always. Great radio voice.

Even your drill is chill lol , beautiful work as always 👍

I admire your patience in scraping out the cloverleafs. Another beautiful job.

Nice work. I like how a bit of the wood shows through the gel paint. It's a lovely piece. Thank you for sharing!

It's nice to see you use white gel stain. Your refinishing made it look so much cleaner and nicer. Great work as always.

This was a cute little table....sorta like the rescue puppy...he is quirky but cute and then after love and attention he is an awesome dog. Thoroughly enjoyed the video...and that soothing voice over.

I really enjoy the white finish on this piece! It looks great. The legs sort of remind me of long bowling pins with the white look

You are a very patient man and you did an awesome job. The table reminds me of the “Early American” maple furniture my Mom had. I think the white stain looks good and love the clover cut-out. Feels very mid-century kitschy.

I always learn something new. Thank you.

Cute table! I like the white wash look. It has kind of a Scandinavian vibe. Love your quiet style of video.

That looks amazing! I was doubtful about your vision when you said you wanted it light, but you were right. It looks amazing with that white gel finish!

Oh wow. Thanks for the video. Always enjoy you work process.

Didn't know how to feel about it either, at the start, but you won me over in the end! I've seen lots of DIYers using household bleach and a wash of diluted chalk paint, but the gel stain came out so smooth. In the end, the white stain is much cleaner than thick white paint you found it with, and gives the whole project a higher end/more intentional feel. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Love watching your work! Keep it up!

I liked the plain wood of this table before you stained it but as always, everything you do turns out gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

Love the white gel stain. Going to have to try it. It looks fantastic.

It looks great!The cutout design reminds me of Mickey Mouse.

I love the way it turned out. I was skeptical, but with the unique approach using the white gel stain, it really worked out well.

It turned out lovely. Thanks for sharing

One can only hope that there are more like you who rescue beautiful furniture from paint!

Thanks for the shots of the neighbors walking by, good times. The table looks nice.

Excellent choice on the finish!

perfect furniture ASMR for a cloudy spring day

I like the way you edit the passers-by in the background. Clever

The jogger was the ultimate touch great work

Very nice! Cute little piece

That’s an interesting design. Good job bringing it back. Perfect for princess room. Scandinavian look to it.

I have some side tables with the magazine rack attached that look VERY similar to this. The same keyhole cutouts and everything. I’m willing to bet your piece is Baumritter as well. They became Ethan Allen in 1972.

Looks like an old telephone table. The rotary phone went on top, and the phone book went in the cubby. We had a maple telephone bench with a cubby that looked similar to this. Nice job of repair and refinishing :)

I wasn’t sure about making it white again. But I love where you took it. It reminds me of a piece of farm furniture painted with a homemade white-wash. Great execution

Very nice...as always! Thanks

I like the results of this one. I love your videos.

This came out lovely. I've looked into lightening pine and other methods always seem to use paint, which comes out chalky looking and unpleasant. This looks so even and you can still see the grain. An absolute win

Has anyone tried bleaching then using a sheer purple gel stain to neutralize the yellow somewhat without deepening the color too much?

So adorable and unique.😘

Interesting piece of 'bank' furniture--looks like a telephone table (except for the side 3-lobe cutouts). It came out pretty good. [I like that you did some filming at the local park--made for an interesting backdrop]

Twin city financial is in Lewiston, Maine. Beautiful restoration 👍

I did the iron trick recently on a pine Shaker table I stupidly flipped upside down and promptly put some dents in. It really works! At least for softer woods. This turned out nice!

It turned out surprisingly well. It’s a little “white” for my tastes, but I learned things! You did a great job of getting off all that paint - I really hate when people paint old furniture. I guess that comes from living with a custom woodworker for 45 years. I agree with others that my first thought was that it’s Mickey Mouse! Did you put the little metal tag back on? Maybe on the underside?

Hello. I have that exact same little table. I think I got it from my parents after they passed. It is also painted a very thick white color. I’ve been thinking about refinishing it. I think I will now try since getting to see yours. Thanks for the videos.

At first I thought it was going to look terrible. But it ended up looking really nice! Well done!

Love the cute little table! It would look lovely with plants. Also it’s fun to watch you try new things! I wanted to try a white wash look for a while, but I’m a little worried that white gel stain may yellow over time. What’s your thought on it?

such a sweet table. nice job

Thanks for showing your refinishing. This looks like what Ive heard called a telephone table.

Really nice!! I thought for sure, since it had the clover cut out and all the rounded edges it would have been a 50's piece of maple furniture. I do like like the white gel stain though!

What a difference Dashner, i would love to see how the one that painted that table dressed for church on a Sunday morning that would be a sight i bet.

the dog in the background of the thumbnail image is the best thing ever (also of course love the videos, have been watching for the longest time, I dont even work with wood or furniture)

That looks good and the white does look good on it

Looks really nice!

I agree this one looks better in white for some reason. Good job! 💜

This video made me figure out why I hate painted wood, I like wood to look like wood and see the grain. You achieved that perfectly with the bleach and the stain.

Beautiful!

Different piece. But you did a great job making it usable.

TCF Bank used to be Twin City Federal.

I refinished a small table about 5 years ago that is very similar to this. I have never seen it before or since. I couldn't identify it either...I did something "out of the norm" with mine.

would be adorable beside a similarly finished bentwood rocker with natural cane, a copy of "Goodnight, Moon" and a pacifier for staging

Stunning.

I like this funky little table. I would have pickled it. *Having finished the video, I see great minds think alike!*
