    Thanks for not adding any background music. Very educational. Thanks!

    WOW! This chair caught my eye because I have that exact same chair. A lovely elderly gentleman who was a Holocaust survivor gifted it to me shortly before his death. I keep it to remember him by, but it isn't structurally sound and I can't use it. Now I know how to fix it! Thank you so very much for posting this video. I really like your calm voice, good filming angles and lighting supporting the deceptively simple step-by-step process. Your demonstration has inspired me! What is Remembered, Lives. What is Restored, Lasts.

    You should sign the furniture you restore. A genuine Dashner restoration will be worth big bucks in the future. It ought to be, anyway.

    I am a amateur self-taught furniture refinisher/painter. I've learned so much from your videos and I'm deeply grateful for the pointers you provide as you work even if you don't realize that some of us amateurs view them as valuable lessons. Your work is exemplary.

    I love your channel...My parents had this chair for 50 years and all 6 were like new after 6 kids. They called them Danish modern in solid teak. Even had the same black naugahyde seat originally. Watching this made me cry. They are both gone but my nephew now cares for them and the table they came with. What a joy seeing it look amazing!

    You are right about made by Lane. I have the exact same chair, purchased in 1962 and still have it at age 79. It's still in perfect shape. No scratches or any loose joints. I loaned the accompanying desk to nephew who destroyed it by standing on its top. I will never sell as it is the first piece of good furniture I bought. Love your show.

    Hello. I have this same Lane walnut table with 6 chairs. Bought this D R set in 1964. Still in great condition. So surprized to see you working on the chair. I am from Massachusetts and have enjoyed your video.

    @melandterryshu 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I envy your persistence. Where the veneer broke from the back of the chair, I would have thought to myself, "Ah, it'll be hidden under the other parts. Nobody'll see it." I enjoy watching your videos. Keep them coming. Thank you.

    I love your videos. They are informative, relaxing and tranquillising. The background sounds remind me of a summer vacation when I was 12 where I restored a lounger (under my grandfathers instructions) in the village where he lived. The laughter in the background, the occasional car driving by and the chirping birds. Your videos reminds me of good, basic values and the joy of repairing something and be happy with the result.

    Love these videos for the way they take me back to my childhood growing up in the country - the pace, the sounds, the lull of the narration. I watch these and feel so relaxed. Meditation! Thanks from Echuca! 🤙🏽

    I have a round table with four chairs, UK made by McIntosh. The chairs fit into the table saving space. Originally I owned an oval table and chairs in 1969, bought when I married, still in use today, still in immaculate condition.
    There is also a square table with chairs fitting beneath, regrettably, living in Northern Ireland, I was never able to get Sellers to agree to delivery.
    The round one was bought to save space and had been owned from mid 60's by the same family. Thankfully, their son was more than helpful in it being shipped to me. The shipping cost more than my table and chairs, considering its quality, I couldn't have afforded to buy anything to equal it.
    The round table is brilliant as it takes up much less space in my small living area. It still has the original dralon seat covering which I keep meaning to recover. Unlike your chair, mine are still in perfect condition as is the table

    I had also found a chair in my street last year. It was completely apart, but all the parts were still in pretty good condition. I found a brand name and after some research on the internet it turned out to be a design from 1964 [also my year of birth!]. However, this was a copy. Unfortunately. It appeared to be a brand from much later a year.
    I tried to restore it and glue it back together, but because I had no clamps I had to do it with rope. The end result was satisfactory, but after using the chair for a while, some glued spots loosen again. Probably because I had no clamps to do it properly.
    It's been sitting in the corner of the room for a year now. I'm going to fix it soon. I promissed it to myself. It's a nice chair.

    When removing a flush plug, I always drill a centered hole slightly larger than my screwdriver, then removing the screw lifts out the plug without damaging the hole. It works great and I've never needed putty. I can't imagining trying to exactly center a drill bit the size of the hole and not expecting to drill into the leg.

    Now I know just what to do with my chair that is a copy of your chair I watched with great interest as I wandered what the round dowls were and you have shown me how to deal with them
    I just never thought I would see another chair like mine so thank you for your demonstration of how to revive a chair
    The only thing I am going to change is the seat I intend to cover mine with some bright fabric from my stash
    Thank you so much for the share of your demonstration

    I've learnt a lot from your channel and restored several old furniture I had on my garage. It felt great and now they're looking good in my room. Thank you.
    (The hardest part was re-aplying veneer son some parts that had completely lost it. That type of veneer that comes preglued , which you apply with a hot iron didn't work. Contact cement neither, don't know why. I had to glue it with Titebond... After the 4th atempt it worked.)
