i love the intro's with "it's x in minneapolis, great time to x" been binging your videos during this quarantine. so inspiring!

When I saw a new video pop up I was so happy. But now I am concerned that because of social distancing and the places I think you probably shop being closed you will not have enough mcm pieces that need work. I would gladly give you some to support your channel and I can even drop them off or arrange a safe pick up. We all need more great videos while we are quarantined! And don't show your face (unless you want to), your style of presenting is perfect.

People still put furniture out on the junk pick-up day I find a lot of bookcases that way. It's always good to wash that type of furniture down with bleach before doing anything.

Hahaha I appreciate the emphasis on “chemical strippers” at the beginning of this episode. 👍

thanks for your videos! I'd love to see one about how you identify which pieces would be good candidates for restoration/refinishing!

You really changed my way of refurnish furniture. Here in Argentina the common knowledge of doing it is sand a bit, and apply barnish with a brush, thats it.

Even though I keep my chisels razor sharp I'm always afraid of chipping my veneer when I shave the edge I started using a small router that is used for laminate it does a really good job. It runs along a guide wheel on the edge of the surface and it trimmed very close to the edge and then taking the Chisel makes it much easier and I don't worry about tripping it. Also if I have cracks rather than pull them apart I use dental floss dipped in wood glue and then I strike it through the crack it gets glue right down in there.

"HI," as you walk by...thanks for keeping your distance. ;-)

I love watching your videos because I always learn something new. I used to be afraid of replacing veneer but after watching you do it a few times, it seems a lot more accessible, not like some strange and exotic ritual that only a chosen few are able to perform. I was always intimidated by it before I found your channel but now when I get an opportunity I'll be more inclined to try. Couple of questions if you have a moment, though: Can it be purchased in small sheets? Do you have to get it from a lumber yard, or is ordering online an acceptable option that will still give you good quality? I've heard that it's pricey, is that true? Thank you, and thanks for the upload!

Great video my man.

Informative video. Thank you for sharing.

When it will be a good day to go thrifting again, the world will be a better and safer place. Take care! 💪

Hello there, thanks for a great video! Just wanted to share two tools which you may want to try or add to your repertoire. The first is a Stanley window scraper. I see you scraping a lot using a standard Stanley blade and think that must must really put pressure on your thumbs. If you insert that same Stanley blade into a window scraper, which is essentially a yellow plastic handle, it may help take the pressure off your thumbs and provide more control. The second is a surgical blade, I use the handle by Swann Morton and you can select the blade type that suits you. I use the ‘No 10 Dermaplane’ blade which is curved. This is incredibly sharp and provides immense control especially for trims and smaller areas. I hope this helps, best wishes from rainy London (UK), Mark

Thanks man!! Your vids inspired me to restore my mom’s Lane Acclaim end table, one that looks almost identical to what you’ve done yourself. It had big water stains, newspaper ink stained onto the finish, peeling finish. It was rough. What I’m wondering is, how many coats of wipe-on poly do you use? For the horizontal surfaces, I used 6-8 coats. For the legs, 3 coats. Wet-sanded with high-grit (400+ wet/dry paper) between the last few coats and only applied the last coats VERY thinly. Came out smooth as glass.

Great videos man, I've learned a ton from you. Do you have any place one can ask you questions? I'm working through a dresser as a hobby, and ran into something funny and wanted to ask you if the same had ever happened to you and advice

Do you have a video on removing dents in wood using the soldering iron? Great videos!!

Will the oxalic acid remove wood stain on old pieces? I'm working on an old record player cabinet with some moulding that was previously stained (lighter wood than the veneer) and having a hard time sanding the stain off of the smaller crevices. Love your videos, keep it up!

Have u ever used Howard's Restore a finish? It's fun!!

It’s a good day to.... stay inside and practice social distancing?! 🤣😂🤣 Dashner has jokes.

Thanks for your videos. Been a while since I've tackled any refinishing. Your are inspiring! Can you go over some basics such as using mineral spirits, when to use ect. Also what type of stains you use for staining. I think you mentioned in one (at least) mixed stains with something. Keep well! From a fellow Minnesotan. PS, I refinished a piece that had shellac and did reamalganation so didn't really strip to refinish. Have you ever done that? Have you covered that?

@DashnerDesignRestoration

Hi, I’ve never reamalgamated a finish but I’ve heard of the technique. I actually just completed a refinish of a piece that was finished in shellac. A lot of the original finish was completely gone so I couldn’t reamalgamate it. I just stripped it and refinished. I’m hoping to have the video up this weekend. Thanks for watching!

love your videos! can you advise on the soldering iron you typically use? does the wattage and max temperature matter?

Utility knife blade. AKA, splinter remover.

Eckhart Tolle book spotted!

I inherited some furniture from my mother that I believe was made between 1920 and 1930. Just a guess as it was purchased in 1943 and my mom said it was 2nd hand when she bought it. In 1978 I decided to refinish it and a friend who had experience in refinishing showed me how. She used some sort of black lava rock purchased at the hardware store. It worked well and the veneer wasn't damaged and it didn't require any further sanding before adding a few coats of varnish. I inquired at a big box store about these blocks of pumice and no one in the paint dept was familiar with it. I would love to refinish this furniture again without chemicals. Any idea what these are called?
