I broke my ankle a couple of days ago. Stuck in bed. One of your videos was so appreciated.
Thank you. I hope your ankle is better soon.
Yes, don’t haul it down stairs. Stairs are evil. They break bones.
@@mirothiel8039 🤣🤣🤣
Hope you're better soon. Happy New Year.
@@mirothiel8039I fell on the stairs last night! Damn stairs. I hope you heal quick! 😢
Long-time watcher, first-time commenter. Your work and attention to detail have inspired me so much that I now am a weekend woodworker. Your videos bring such serenity to my life that I watch them for meditation. Please don’t change your exceptional format. Love your dry sense of humor and your focus on the work (no drama, no bs, no fluff). Thank you!
Thank you!
Genius idea to ditch the handles and go with the press latches. The top of this piece turned out absolutely beautiful. You never cease to amaze me, Dashner. I watch dozens of these kinds of videos, but I save yours for those times when I am completely undisturbed and can watch without distractions. Kind of like a guilty treat. Love your work.
Thank you.
Agreed! Also, what happened to the bass guitar? 🤔
I have no substantive interest in refurbished furniture but I love to watch these for the editing, pace, and narrative. It’s a vibe. A relaxing one.
The cabinet looks stunning, agree with bringing tones a tad closer to unify. What floors me is how you can work in such cold! My basement shop rarely goes under 60 F, I will lug stuff outside if it's over 32 F - but subzero - man, you're motivated!
Inkwell, Or crazy!
That was a grand premier for the New Year! Thanks for all the good times spent watching your videos, the uplifting diversions from the daily grind, the calm and peace of your tone and meter of voice...and your music.
May 2023 be the best year for you yet!
Thank you for watching all these years. Wishing you a wonderful year.
It is really true. His voice is so chill.
👏👏👏👏Bravo! Well said!
This channel is my new favorite jam.
I absolutely LOVE the door fronts. It's such a lovely piece.Thank you for bringing back to it's true self.
Another successful resurrection: well done, well done. Thanks for showing us!
Interesting design. I have never seen this Lane design before. Great job!
I’m pretty sure that piece was worth $11. Another beautiful transformation!
Thank you.
Happy New Year. I was walking around saying “10 minutes to Dashner” in my best Rainman imitation.
The bookended grain on back is lovely. Well done my friend!
That chunky style is called Brutalism. Most people hate it but that cabinet looks really nice.
Another truly beautiful restoration! Your attention to detail is amazing to watch. In today’s world, craftsmen like you are few and hard to find. I just enjoy the peacefulness and calm of seeing you work and hearing your voice. It soothes my soul. Thank you
Thanks for enduring the cold to create content for us. You did it again! The piece turned out beautifully. Your videos are so nicely relaxed and educational. Looking foreward to the new year of your videos.
I think it came out beautifully! And right in line with many modern interior design trends.
Yes, the very high end stuff now., so extremely simple it would fit with MANY styles.
Sheesh. You sure brought THAT one back from the dead. Talk about making a silk purse out of a sow's ear. This one was tougher. Great job.
Considering the start state of this piece, you worked miracles on this. The finish is unified, love just nixing the knobs and going with hidden hardware to let the door pattern show, and love getting rid of the painted parts to stain. I was afraid that the top was too far gone. It looks like a solid cabinet. Great job! Thanks for all the content. Happy New Year! 👍
As a former Minneapolitan for many decades, recall when -3/-6 could feel downright balmy! Above 32? If sunny, ditch the jacket and break out the lawn chairs. :) Perhaps grab a hose, rinse the snow and salt off the cars. The Lane piece turned out better than I anticipated but, no surprise, you worked your usual Dashner magic. Looking forward to what you have in store for 2023. Happy New Year!
I believe that Lane piece was worth $11.00. Yes, it was a lot of work, but it turned out very nice. You did a excellent job. As an interior designer, I am interested in what the original handles looked like. However, with the pattern on the front doors, I can understand you wanting to put the “just touch” the doors and allowing them to spring open hardware on.
Still a handsome piece of furniture. Carol from California
That cabinet looks fabulous! Great job!
Another great video to start the year! Your measured approach shows that you not only know your subject but also are a master editor. The clarity of detail and techniques you manage to show without rushing a viewer who wants to learn -- simply amazing. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
You endlessly impress me with your willingness to work outside in the snow...and the magnificent work you do in those temperatures! Astonishing. Thank you for sharing and inspiring!
Who coulda think you’d bring this back from near death? It’s gorgeous!
Turned out really nice.
I can't imagine those temperatures and I've never seen or experienced that much snow. D you're the best at restoration and explaining the process. I appreciate you so much.
You make it look easy!!
I love how the heat gun peeled that paint. Love your videos and your work. I've learned a lot from you.
The scraping of the paint with the heat gun was so satisfying. You should upload that as a short and with some Q&A narration alongside
Love to see I’m not alone in working outside in these Minnesota winters 😂
I love the front of that cabinet!
Bravo, Dash! I can't believe your tenacity for mid-mod restoration in positively arctic temperatures. Thanks for providing us with such great content.
I’m looking forward to it. I have two mid century bedside drawers/ end tables that I’ve had since childhood, and I want to refinish them. They’re not quite this bad, but they’ll be a challenge for someone who has only ever stained finished furniture, not done any refinishing!
👏👏👏👏👏👏Do it! They will look amazing with any
attempt/attention and you will probably enjoy the process of saving them. Sentimental too!😊
As you're attaching the press latches to the underside of the top, I had to think you'd flip the cabinet upside down and let gravity do the job of holding them against the surface. Another great restoration, I've learned almost everything I know about refinishing from your channel and learn another new technique/trick/repair method with each video.
Nice to see such a sad piece returned to beauty.
Good job.
You find such amazing mid-century pieces!
Looks great! Love the latch idea.
What a beautiful piece!
Just beautiful
Beautiful piece of furniture!
Turned out much better than I expected. It was nice that whoever painted it did so over the old finish so paint removal was easier.
I always enjoy your work!
Just came across a mid century end table with just a bunch of water rings, solid teak by France and son! Super excited to see how it looks after it’s done, thanks for teaching me all that you have! Happy New Year…..see you in 35 minutes 😀
I love the authentic cold weather 'sniffles' that are made in between the sentences. Evidence of the Minnesota winter.
I think I would have left some type of door handles on as they can really embellish a piece, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder and whatnot. Looks good!
By showing us the all-round view one discovers the concept. A lovely piece of furniture nice to appreciate from all your sides. It has found back his former beauty!
A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Your work always results in things of beauty.
Another nice piece of work. Well done👏👏👍
Beautiful veneer.
Yes definitely looks 70s by the style of those wood patterns.
Came out great.
Happy New Year to you and a better 2023!
Let's keep refinishing. 👍
And retro 70s is all the rage now…much to the dismay of those of us who went through it the first time, lol! It should sell quickly at his shop.
That is a wonderful resurrection from the near death of this piece,,,
Great job, Have a Happy 2023 !!!.
very interesting paneling on the doors, never seen anything like it. Happy you stained that one light piece, it did'nt work.
Sending you best wishes for the new year, we are lucky to have you here on the TH-cams
That turned out nice.
Love your content. Just started a restoration channel myself. Doing God's work saving these pieces and giving them a 2nd chance at life! Cheers!
I wonder if you could find an old Lane catalog to see what the original door handles looked like. Might still be able to find a similar replacement. Nice job on the restoration. Thanks for sharing!
*Out With the Old, In With the New. Warmest Wishes for a Happy New Year!*
Great job. It looks very nice.
It's gorgeous.
I realize that this suggestion would change the character/design of the piece a bit, but might have been possible to remount the doors upside down to minimize the appearance of the screw holes from the handle? That being said, I really do like your final result. You do such good work.
Wow, that turned out better than I expected. Nice work! And -- my sister lives in Prior Lake, so I'm very familiar with the winter weather woes of MN.
A really cool restoration! Its time for me to also find a new item to fix and flip!!
Good looking cabinet. It is so much better without the white paint. The top turned out great.
Out here in the Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert area you would be very surprised at the items people want to get rid of for free! It's paradise for wood workers!
This cabinet is beautiful! I want one 😭
Two would be better.
Another great restoration by you best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you.
maybe turn the doors inside out? would look even better finished :)
I thought about that, too.
NO! I thought the walnut and the rosewood pattern on the front was beautiful and makes it more interesting. Albeit very subtle, it has a little personality.
@@rockshot100 Ok i didn't like it.
It’s refreshing to see a piece of beautiful furniture restored to its original slender well done 👏👏👏 So glad you didn’t paint it
Palm sanders make those curlie-cue marks--yeesh!
Even just removing that ghastly white paint, that alone made it look 150 percent better; the end result is, of course, distinctive and very attractive.
Another beautiful piece of furniture saved! Well done.🎉
Happy New Year. My new year's wish for you is a good all weather workshop! Always enjoy your projects.
The most satisfying use of a heat gun that I have ever seen. 👍🏻
Stunning piece
What a great little piece! Thanks for rescuing it!!
Perfectly timed as I just won a Lane coffee table at auction. Yours turned out beautifully. Thanks for the education and motivation. I have been subscribed for years and Minneapolis seemed like a far off very cold place. Now my son and his family live there (near Wisconsin) and I fully understand your weather challenges. Thank you for all of your time and effort!
Wow! That cleaned up so quick for you! The heat gun, scraping and sanding all worked well
Love your first generation iPhone ❤
The push mechanism for the doors is satisfying 😌 Lovely little side table.
Thanks!
It looks very high end current to me now. Good call on the pulls, really whatever he could have put there would have been wrong.
Awesome. Yet again!
beautiful work! excellent job getting the top two colors much closer, that looks so much nicer.
I actually liked the off colored wood piece on the door, it gave it character. Otherwise, great video as always.
It always surprises me how they turn out so good! Paint, odd wood colors, holes from hardware…you solved every problem.
Well, that's another piece that you saved and made useful and beautiful again. It's always a quiet joy to watch your videos - thank you, and Happy New Year!
Good lord you are a brave lunatic to work in that cold. I can't wait to get my MCAT exam out of the way in a couple weeks and then finish fixing my mini so I can use my garage again, because I've got a dining set with lots of dog chewing damage to restore!
Beautiful great job.
As always masterfully done! Minnesota is home for me as well and I don’t know how you work outside when it’s that darn cold 😊!
I know very well what the weather is like on the Mid-West. You must be the bravest man on Earth. -6 ! I will not complain anymore about my Puertorrican "winter" of 72 F during the morning hours.
I think you got a bargain. It was in terrible condition, but I fell in love with the piece. It is simply beautiful. I knew you would bring it back to life.
What a way to kick off the new year! A new Dashner video restoring a Lane piece. It doesn't get any better than that!
Best wishes for 2023! 🥳🥳🥳
Oh, it's lovely!
I use to work in a cold shop too. Then I found torpedo heater. It has a kerosene odor but it is worth it. Sometimes I have to open the door to cool it off.
Very nice work
A nice make over there. I am always appalled that some people have the bad taste to paint over handsome wood-grained furniture.
A vast improvement! Love the color. You did it❣
As always beautiful. I love those patches! Easier to wipe down the doors! Thank you for braving the cold to do this for us. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
In Northern Wisconsin if we see -6°F, we also look at the windchill of possibly -17°. I’ve slightly burned my face going to out in that. We do indoor things then.
I thought my workshop was cold! Thanks so much for working in those conditions so we could get a video this early in the year 👍👍👍
Can't believe how well the top came out! I thought for sure the dark stain on the veneer was there to stay but you managed to pull off another coup by getting rid of 99% of it. About the only thing I'd have done differently myself is going with pulls that used both holes rather than filling them, although the fills did blend in really well.
You are my hero! Working outside in minus degree weather! We wimp out at 50 degree weather in San Diego! As always you do beautiful work!
I'm surprised there was no issue with laquer in that weather...I have had problems with paint drying in cold. Nice job!
Well worth the 1100 pennies and the fridge temps...BRAVO.
