What I love: the moment you wipe off the dust, wipe on the Danish oil and that gorgeous grain jumps out. Always the money shot for me.
Thank you for saving this gem. You help us see that restoring isn’t always that hard.
Just wanted to quickly hop on and say thanks for this DIY vid. I followed it this weekend and restored a sideboard and it’s come up beautifully
"And then I sneezed!" - that actually made me laugh out loud!
same here...happens a lot with Keith's vids lol
Me, too!
Nice work! Love seeing a restore job vs a paint over.
I was most impressed when you said it only took you a few hours to do this. If I attempted something like this, it would easily take me a few days just to think about doing it 😃
I have one but it's mega long an I haven't started it yet, u make it look easy an done a beautiful job. il give it a bash.
Nice job again man 👨 👏 👍
Enjoyed the video but that smug proud cat got me! "Das ist mein!"
Wow, what a great job!
Looks beautiful
This would go perfectly in my mid-century themed home
Beautiful. This is lovely.
Thank you! Used your steps to restore my grandmother’s Danish modern dining table. It looks great. Thank you!
Beautiful renovation it's great to see these mid century pieces of furniture being saved and used. 👏👏👏
I love this! I’ve just bought a huge mid century wardrobe and am watching this with interest! Do we have to sneeze before certain cuts?! 🤣🤣🤣
I live in Palm Springs California and mid century modern pieces like yours are always in high demand. Good job! It looks beautiful.
sneezing is a good thing , bless you mate , I'm enjoying your videos .
looks great, I really love the 70's furniture. Well done. 👍
That's gorgeous and you did a marvelous job on it
Wow, that was quite a transformation. Looked lovely.
Beautiful piece. I love mid-century furniture.
Brilliant.
I love the fact you reuse, recycle anything and I am learning a lot.
I've just discovered your channel. I watched the videos for the parquet table, the plywood end-grain table, the chest of drawers salvage, and now this one. I'm seriously impressed with your skill and your taste!
AMAZING.... You were amazing fixing it. the final result is amazing.
Wonderful job! That piece of furniture is gorgeous! Lucky you!:)
I love mid century furniture. Great job...
Nice work great restoration even for a particle board piece of furniture. Looking forward to more projects.
Wow I didn't expect it to look that great at the end
The sideboard looks awesome, great job. This is the first time watching your show. Looking forward to catching up on the other episodes.
Very nicely done Keith. It looks great!
It’s beautiful- well done!
Truly attentive
Great job on a great design furniture. Did the same restoration on a small vintage writing desk made from solid wood/veneered mahogany some 15 years ago.
After sanding to 240 and filling some voids with a mix of dust/glue, I buffed up scratches and lite spots (actually the whole thing) with 2-3 coats of a varnish made of 5x strong powder coffee (Nescafe Gold :) and then 3 coats of water soluble floor lacquer (Trestjerners).
The desk is (heavily) used every day and not one sign of wear and tear can be seen.
U find the coolest furniture. Love mid century modern!
It is a brave man who sands veneer. I tend to go down the strip, or scrub with metho and steel wool path. Sand paper as a final resort. But each to their own. Great outcome.
Lovely work you do!
I love mid century modern furniture, I have hundreds on my pinterest board Furniture, Lights, Accessories.
So beautiful!
Beautiful
Beautiful. A great refurbish.
beautiful job! Thank you for sharing your tips with us! :)
thanks!
It sounds counter productive, but if you slightly dampen the tea towel before you apply the iron, the steam actually works better than dry heat to remove water stains! Nice work!
Lovely
mate!
Beautiful piece.
great job, thanks for sharing!!!
that turned out awesome way to go
thank you i have an old Brown and Saltman (?) sidebar with some stains and i think i may be able to try your technique... and the products .. great help.
Looks great!
Thank you for sharing.
Great work and I like your cat!
Nice design, good video
Nice job 👍🏻👍🏻
I love the colour of the style of this furniture! You did an amazing job on this 👌🏻♥️
P.S when you do add your mark on it on other pieces, I think you need to make yourself another stamp saying you restored this piece.
It looks Amazing!! There is a fantastic product in the us called Howards restore a finish. It's like magic!!
looks great!
great refinish. Just an FYI, you want wooden drawer runners to be a softer wood than the drawers since it's much easier to replace worn drawer runners than worn drawer sides.
+Michael Olson ah, that makes sense! Thanks
Great job! Really enjoyed this video. Thanks. :-)
Great project, Dude - looks wick and a new place of height for your Frip to perch on! 😃
Wow, looks like real wood!
Mike Williams Veneer is real wool albeit a very thin sheet of it. It’s a cost saving alternative. It has the look and color do the real wool (for instance, walnut or cherry) but without having to use a solid piece of it. This makes sense especially on large sections because you can increase uniformity too.
I started to follow your channel and I'm amazed. I am also furniture restorer but I am a hobbyist. I liked the techniques used, they are similar to mine. One more subscriber already on your channel.
Greetings from Brazil!
+Carlos Andino thank you!
Great vid thanks
Cool Cat and good job
Nice job
Good job my friend.if I could give you a little tip .if you use a stanley blade to take the polish off. It's much easier. Just by using a pull stroke with the blade it comes off great.well done on your restoration.
great end result (again) :-)
Your cat seems to like it as well!
Great job. And kitty cat approved 🐾
Very nice .. amazing 💝💝💝😘
I just finished doing a 1940's mahogany dresser and cabinet- and used ACETONE AND STEEL WOOL (no sandpaper!) . Works awesome and took off the old cruddy finish wonderfully. Then, finish the firniture with FORMBY's TUNG OIL- a gorgeous natural oil finish. I applied three thin coats of ting oil and it looks great. More natural than plastic looking polyurethane. Formby's is real natural tung oil- not the fake "tung oil" from others. Just my 2 cents from experience.

Have you tried a hemp oil?
What is best?
Nice work! It's surprising what a little bit of renovation and TLC can do to tired furniture. With the Danish Oil and Briwax I suspect the finish will be better than new. Much better than MDF and plastic 21st century alternatives any day!
Because of the sneeze comment I subscribed and I’m getting notifications. I love you LOL
why did you not just draw aline around your old runners before you took them off?
I have a similar cabinet from the 50s but its a TV console with record player and radio. It still gets power, I was thinking of doing something with it like you did with yours. Might make some coin on the equipment as well if the tube still works those can be worth a small fortune. Im gonna drag it out after my next home improvement store trip.
Good recycle Kieth.
Then i sneezed, cracked me up. Wish I could sand as quick as you lol🤪🤪
Good job! :)
Nice work Keith and £20 well spent.

To remove watermarks from wood: try mixing a thick paste of olive oil and salt and rub onto the wood - leave it for about 30 minutes. The salt draws out the moisture and the oil feeds the wood.
+Kimberly Player thanks, will have to try that one next time
Great video. The best way to remove water Mark's I find is to apply meths to the ring and flash a lighter to it, blow it out immediately and the heat brings the moisture that's trapped under the finish to the surface and evaporates. Much the same as the iron procedure you demonstrated but with more success. A professional restorer showed me this trick.
The old runners stayed on for years with a few staples. Glue and brad nails would be permanent, so the screws were not needed.
I love getting mid 20th Century furniture, restoring it and selling it to hipsters at a premium. They can't get enough of it.
Nice. I think I might go for this finish. I’ve seen you use acrylic spray varnish over oiled wood and wondered if it would react... wax on oil looks smart...
Thank you, love the cat
+Charlotte Sykes me too 😻
Really great video, helps me restore my own 60s sideboard. Cheers!
Such a sad world! It’s become too much of a throwaway world! 😔
Bless you.....
you'd have to be crazy to throw away danish furniture. restored it's worth $$$
BRAVO.! Dommage que vous ne soyez pas en France j'aimerais faire un stage chez vous 😍😍
Looks fantastic. I'd be wary of using a rag dampened with water to remove dust from a sanded surface in case it raised the grain
enlightening and educatioal r.f.
Bravo!
We saw similar pieces of furniture for $1200.00 and up last week in an antique mall in Madison, WI.
Hu. Do you have any tips for hiding or taking out a scratch on the handles? I have a gplan sideboard very similar to yours but two of the handles got scratched in transit. Many thanks for the vid
nice work man..;-p
I'm always late to the party, but this is amazing. I have a sideboard sitting in my dad's garage for the last 6 years that I need to restore. It's not too fad but I live in flats (ground floor) so I have always put it off. I remember there's a little damage in one of the sliding doors, but can't remember much more. I am determined this year but need to know if i need to strip any old finish?
Great result with the scratch on the end panel, it seems to be gone! Did you try re-ironing any of the stains after the sanding? I wonder if getting down to the wood might have helped.
Hi, great work. Can you recommend a site for the digital calipers? Thanks.
Lindo trabalho 👏 mas o gato muito fofo ❤️
I am trying to tidy up some solid wood dining room furniture after the cocker spaniel puppy has grown out of scratching everything. I’ve sanded down the scratches which has removed the original stain/varnish. I’ve tried some ronseal dark oak stain which is about the right colour. However, it does not sink into the wood? I presume it is because it’s a water based stain? I cannot find oil based stains and varnishes anywhere locally? What would you recommend?
Great video! I have a question.. can I use some glossy top coat? if yes what do you recommend? I have very dark teak dresser and i wanted to sand it, make it lighter, maybe some parts paint in duck egg colour and then on the top some glossy product.
Hi there, this video is really useful. I have a 60s gplan sideboard with some really dark wood stains across the top (almost look like damp wood) have you any idea how to remove these stains? Thanks so so much
I think it is still better build than most modern budget furniture such as IKEA. They go a long way in good circumstances, but not nearly as long compared to quality woodworking. That being said, I do still use IKEA furniture and such since they can go a long way for the money and quality woodworking is not that affordable unless you can build it yourself, and the latter one is not accessible for me yet.
Brecht Schatteman this might actually be vintage IKEA. We found a 1960s IKEA in our garage, designed by Erik Wörtz. Quite good quality! I think they started dropping in quality in the 1990s
