It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve told us this or that. We want to hear the story again! “On today’s episode...”. Pick it, strip it, sand it, make repairs, stain it, finish it, display it. “Thanks for watching.” Yasssss!
I think you're the most soothing human being, these videos are the best. Funny how these videos are similar but we notice the differences! You dont say four ought steel wool anymore!
Ahhhh... as I sit down for my afternoon cup of coffee with some cookies... a get a new Dashner video! I never get tired of listening you. You can explain the processes over and over again. There is something new to learn. I would buy that piece it in a heartbeat. Man, that was beautiful. ♥♥♥♥
Yes, no matter how many of these videos I have seen, I always learn something new. You are a great teacher and it is wonderful to see these beautiful pieces restored to their original glory. Thanks again!
I've followed your advice a few times now and honestly it's been working great. I refinished a desk and I'm in process for putting on the wipe on poly now for a dresser. Without finding your channel I would have wasted so much more time sanding than necessary.
Inspired by your videos I just finished refinishing and fixing the casters on a beat up and stained old Gunlocke chair I’ve had I’m sitting around for a few years. I picked it up from a relative a few years back, loved it, but no one else really saw in it what I did. Now it shines and everyone loves it!
These Lane acclaim tables are my absolute favorite. I pick them up whenever I see them. I recently found the match to this exact one, I’ve finally got a set. I’ve got more acclaim end tables then I know what to do with 😬
Show us the stripper! I agree. Looks like Citristrip in this episode, though I thought he switched due to a formula change. Maybe this was filmed beforehand.
I love that you don’t play god awful loud music that plays over and over in a loop. I’d rather listen to you tell what you are you are doing and hear the sounds of sanding and tools.
My parents bought a Lane coffee table, a two-tiered end table and two more end tables, the model you are restoring. They have been in our family since I can remember and are still in the living room, except for the two-tiered which was given to me to furnish my apartment 15 years ago when I moved back home after my divorce. It was water-stained but functional. It wasn't until 3-4 months ago that I knew about these tables or their value. When my mother passed three years ago, I moved in with my widowed father, leaving what little furniture I had behind, including the Lane end table. A few months ago one of my daughters flew in for a visit. When she walked into the house, she marched right up to the coffee table and asked that I please leave it--and the others--to her in my will. She had never asked that before, and I couldn't understand why she was so anxious to have these tables, so she showed me on her phone how much they were. I couldn't believe my eyes! I asked my father if he knew these were Lane tables and he said yes, then he turned the coffee table over and showed me the LANE markings underneath. When I mentioned that I had left behind the two-tiered table in my apartment when I moved, they were absolutely furious with me, but no one had told me about these tables or anything about them. I was completely unaware. Oh well, at least we still have three of them, they really need refinishing but are otherwise in good shape. If my daughter had not said anything, I'd still be living in ignorance to this day.
I’ll bet all your “Acclaim” pieces make a nice group! I just love them! I always liked Lane furniture. I used to have a Lane cedar chest but had to get rid of it when I developed an allergy to cedar.
@@BradleyRhea It's so hit or miss. There have been times Ill go through the massive one near me and see nothing I want. Then I'll walk through a month later and see so many new things I want that came in but don't have the cash. It's just the way it is. Also people with booths tend to ask way too much for their items and are rarely there to try to barter with them.
I've gotten half of mine on Facebook Marketplace, the other half at Salvation Army/thrift stores. It's all luck...but have to be diligent on Facebook Marketplace...the good stuff goes fast.
Beautiful work! I love your videos. I am taking notes to renovate my own furniture. I personally only purchase wood furniture or antiques because I know it will last. I think that the modern furniture is just not built the same. I am from France and the French now tends to buy modern furniture, if you go on "Leboncoin" (the French Craiglist), you can find some really good deals on antique (outside Paris) . I purchased a 1940 dining room set with a very large table, canned chairs, hutch, and a sideboard with marble top for only 400 euros total.... All the pieces are hand carved and made of walnut. It would cost thousand of dollars in the US.
I recently picked up a Lane Acclaim coffee table from a yard sale. The finish was so faded and dry that the entire table appeared to be a light blonde color. I cleaned it, applied a feed and wax because it was incredibly dry, done some light sanding, used Restore-a-finish in Walnut on the center of the table and Golden Oak on the lighter areas. Using the two different stain colors created a more dramatic coloration.
Hey man I absolutely love your videos, I watch them with my friend all the time. I’ve learned alot and feel the gratification that you do, vicariously haha Something that I have always thought though is that you should post a before and after clip at the very end, so we can really see the progress you made!!
I bought a set of these exact tables at a yatd sale for $20. They had a few light scratches on them, but I didn't do anything to fix it. I ending up selling them as is a few weeks later for $200.
I just picked up a Lane Acclaim coffee table and two stepped end tables. This video makes me want to take in the restoration myself....should I?! You make it look easier than I'm sure it is. Great work.
I just picked up a Lane Acclaim for super cheap and excited to try my hand at refinishing it. I'm pretty sure it's the original finish. Do you have a product list for what you used in this video? Thanks!
This is really beautiful! I got two old mid-century furniture pieces from my friend's grandma, but I don't like the finish too much. I really want to try this. Is the gel stain oil based or water based? I live in Germany and they don't sell this brand (General finishes) here, I hope I find a similar brand that does the trick. Thanks for your videos, they're so soothing!
I hope there's a fully-equipped woodshop in your future. Isopropyl alcohol, vinegar, baking soda, & water all accelerate cyanoacrylate glue; it depends on moisture to dry.
Hi, I used mineral spirits after stripping and it leaves a oily residue and darker the wood ? What’s my option ? Could you please share a link of the mineral spirit you are using ?
my last two times using Citristrip, I've ran into issues and it hasn't worked nearly as well as normal. What stripper do you suggest? I enjoy all of your videos, thanks for your time.
Also, these were lacquer coated from the factory. Poly is okay but it does create a different finish. Not to detract from the job that was done here. But to be period correct and accurate lacquer coatings will sink into the grain over time and will look different than a poly finish will over time.
Great videos. Thanks for them. Do you have an suggestions for using the wipe-on poly? I seem to be getting streaks in mine when I apply it in the same manner. Thank you.
I watched this video the other day but, forgot to ask : Can you please tell me what kind of steel wool you use? I assume it's not what I use in the kitchen? Thank you and thx for all the great videos!
Gel stain color candle light. What brand and where do you buy it. Do you have a store ( a way you can make money) I can buy it from? I bought a dining table that is this style that needs to be restored and I’ve stripped it down. It’s also missing the leaves so I’m going to make my own. Your videos are really good and I really enjoy them and you’re finished table looks fantastic I would like my dining table to look this good.
The gel stain is by General Finishes. I usually buy it at Rockler but I'm sure you can find it online. I don't have a store. I either keep the pieces or occasionally sell them on craigslist. Thanks for watching.
Are you using a different finish stripper from last episode? Seems like quicker turnaround from application to stripping, versus having to wait overnight.
I've owned, sold and seen a LOT of Acclaim.. (it was everywhere there in the 90's and early 2000's thrift stores).... It's great stuff, cheap but sturdy US made Mid-Century pieces. However, while your resto's are great, you have stained this too dark compared to the at least 100 pieces of Acclaim I have come across and sold. It's looks great and may be the lighting, but the pieces from the factory are lighter than your end result and showcase the dovetail detail more. Just My Opinion.
I like your work a lot. In this instance tho I think is very sad that the table could not keep original color contrasting. I think that diminish the value.
I understand the original finish was a toned lacquer and the contrast wasn’t as much as it is on this and lots of other restored tables like this. I’m refinishing one now and am searching for the perfect light contrast.
Accelerator for super glue... dont let them rip you off. Super glue dries by the humidity in the air. Your accelerator is just plain tap water. Nice job done, looks good.
It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve told us this or that. We want to hear the story again! “On today’s episode...”. Pick it, strip it, sand it, make repairs, stain it, finish it, display it. “Thanks for watching.” Yasssss!
Pretty soon we will hear "It's a cold day in Minnesota... it's a good day to go thrifting." 😄
I love this guy.
Haha that's funny
Jennifer Kirby is 100% right!!!
You are the Bob Ross of furniture restoration.
I know your videos are similar, but they are so curiously satisfying, and I’m addicted and always waiting for the next.
Right????
I think you're the most soothing human being, these videos are the best. Funny how these videos are similar but we notice the differences! You dont say four ought steel wool anymore!
Thank you! I try not to say four ought anymore because some people didn't know what it meant.

I never get tired of listening you. You can explain the processes over and over again. There is something new to learn.

LOVE the color of the candle light gel stain. The table look awesome!

That candlelight gel stain is very beautiful. I like it more than the walnut.
Another fantastic piece. Loved it. 😊
Wow, this one is especially good looking. You should have put a before and after comparison at the end of the video because it's really stunning.
This one really did turn out well!
You made her glow again. Great video 👍🏻🍺🍻

You could share! 😁
@K L, I inherited my Mom's coffee table. I love it!!
Ok. I am addicted and learning so much.
We had those tables when I was growing up. Nice to see them again.
Cool. I found a Lane coffee table in the curb on trash day, is in perfect shape, but it needs cleaning and refinishing.
Scraping off the stripper is the best part :(
Show us the stripper! I agree.
Looks like Citristrip in this episode, though I thought he switched due to a formula change. Maybe this was filmed beforehand.
Yep, this was filmed before I tried the new stripper.
I rather like the incidental stuff as well. The weather and whatnot. But it was meant to be a short video. Good result as usual.
Dashner Design & Restoration Out of curiosity, what brand is the new stripper?
@@DashnerDesignRestoration what’s the new stripper material you use?
I love that you don’t play god awful loud music that plays over and over in a loop. I’d rather listen to you tell what you are you are doing and hear the sounds of sanding and tools.
Very nice!!! I’m taking down notes now from watching your videos!! Your work is awesome!!
That looking much better. Xx
Another great result! You are a real artist. Thanks for sharing another great video. Keep up the outstanding work. ATB : )

These videos are great. This piece and the last one would make a beautiful furniture set. Nice work, really excited to see you post.
Thank you.
Autumn table, beatiful. Love to watch and listen
OMG! I just subscribed after becoming obsessed with your work, and - here is my Lane Acclaim table! Well, one of them! I'm stoked!
Thank you!
I’ll bet all your “Acclaim” pieces make a nice group! I just love them! I always liked Lane furniture. I used to have a Lane cedar chest but had to get rid of it when I developed an allergy to cedar.
Love seeing these Lane Acclaim pieces. Wish I could find some of them locally. Feels like I'll never have a complete set for my living room.
Check antique malls, I've seen a few of them.
I've checked every antique mall and flea market in a 50 mile radius. Not much luck.

Thank you!
Swear to God I was waiting for the spatula to remove the finish...I was sad when it got skipped over. Embarrassing that I was so bummed.
Haha, hopefully I'll have more stripping in the next video. Thanks for watching!

Always learning something ~

Totally fantastic I would buy it for sure, but I live in Scotland.
In America, your first name is associated with pancake syrup [as you--and any nieces/nephews--must already know].
I bought a set of these exact tables at a yatd sale for $20. They had a few light scratches on them, but I didn't do anything to fix it. I ending up selling them as is a few weeks later for $200.

Do it! Just be sure to take your time.
@@DashnerDesignRestoration do you have a list of the basic things I'd need to do this?
Which oil based polyurethane top coat did you use? Is oil based better than water based?
Looks great🙂
looks very nice 😎👍
Thank you.
Beautiful 😍
Thank you.
Would you please add a link to material that you are using for each project?
I like it much better that way
That was a fast one

Hi, I used mineral spirits after stripping and it leaves a oily residue and darker the wood ? What’s my option ? Could you please share a link of the mineral spirit you are using ?
when you started applying the stain to the top i said "purdy." not pretty...but "purdy!" very nice!
Nice as usual!!
Perfection,
my last two times using Citristrip, I've ran into issues and it hasn't worked nearly as well as normal. What stripper do you suggest? I enjoy all of your videos, thanks for your time.
Are you happy with the color? Most lane tables have been a lighter color in my experience. What was the resale value you achieved?
I agree. The before color is the right color. To match the lower part is incorrect for this piece.
Also, these were lacquer coated from the factory. Poly is okay but it does create a different finish. Not to detract from the job that was done here. But to be period correct and accurate lacquer coatings will sink into the grain over time and will look different than a poly finish will over time.
How long do you leave the stain on before wiping off?
Beautiful
One of my big challenges is discarding the mess from stripping the furniture. How do you get rid of it?
Great videos. Thanks for them. Do you have an suggestions for using the wipe-on poly? I seem to be getting streaks in mine when I apply it in the same manner. Thank you.
Which wipe on polyurethane did you use for this project?
I don’t understand how the wood on your legs always look so clean after sanding. I struggle to get it looking like the original bare wood
I watched this video the other day but, forgot to ask : Can you please tell me what kind of steel wool you use? I assume it's not what I use in the kitchen? Thank you and thx for all the great videos!
That Girl 0000 Steel wool
Did you sand the veneer? Thanks!
Did you hand sand after the power sanding or just leave it at the 180 grit? No little circles?
I do not like mid-century furniture; I do not like the shape nor the usual color. With that being said, I enjoy watching you work and love your voice.
Kind of liked the two tone finish in the beginning, but that's just me.
Gel stain color candle light. What brand and where do you buy it. Do you have a store ( a way you can make money) I can buy it from? I bought a dining table that is this style that needs to be restored and I’ve stripped it down. It’s also missing the leaves so I’m going to make my own.

On average, how many coats of wipe-on poly do you apply?
Does it decrease the value when you refinish a piece of furniture like this?
These are not real antiques. If it were a 1890's piece of furniture the answer would be yes it hurts the value.
Which gel stain do you like better:
Candelite or Antique Walnut?
I like them both. It just depends on the color I'm after. Walnut is more brown and candlelite has more red.
Are you using a different finish stripper from last episode? Seems like quicker turnaround from application to stripping, versus having to wait overnight.
Yes, this was Citristrip.
You should definitely do an in-video before and after rather than just in the thumbnail. I need to see it side by side.
Unless you know what you're doing with the Palm sander, consider hand sanding. That veneer is paper thin.
Hi. Do you apply wipe on poly with paper towel?
What do you use to strip?
This table looks exactly like mine. I want to refinish it in the same color. What brand were u using?
Also, can I use warm water instead of mineral spirits?
The squirrel was showing off to the camera again, at the end :P
I thought you stopped using the orange stipper? due to the new ingredients
B Black I was wondering what type of stripper he was using.
I've owned, sold and seen a LOT of Acclaim.. (it was everywhere there in the 90's and early 2000's thrift stores).... It's great stuff, cheap but sturdy US made Mid-Century pieces.

Does anyone know why
lower shelf has a concave curve on one end?
I don't.
Do the two tables match now?
What stripper are you using these days ?
You went back to the orange stripper?
I like your work a lot. In this instance tho I think is very sad that the table could not keep original color contrasting. I think that diminish the value.
I understand the original finish was a toned lacquer and the contrast wasn’t as much as it is on this and lots of other restored tables like this. I’m refinishing one now and am searching for the perfect light contrast.
A heavy coat of what? You didn’t say.
Accelerator for super glue... dont let them rip you off. Super glue dries by the humidity in the air. Your accelerator is just plain tap water.
Nice job done, looks good.
🤣 Not even close.
Really could’ve done without the stain
