Note from a soapmaker: when using lye, ALWAYS wear full coverage clothing. Long sleeves, long pants, closed-toe shoes, apron, gloves, and goggles. It WILL melt your skin off. ☠️
This mid-century style of furniture got its name because it was a series commemorating the inauguration of the city of Brasília and the transfer of the capital of Brazil. And out of curiosity, there is a table like this at the Museu do Catetinho in Brasília and which belonged to President Juscelino Kubitschek, then president of Brazil at the time of the city's inauguration.
Greetings from Brasília - Brazil!
This should be on top. Very important comment, adding information to it. Thank you!
I was just about to write this information down. Thanks, Carlos!
This is a wonderful background! Photos of Brasilia are stunning and shows where Broyhill got its inspiration.
Your comment is informative and appreciated.
What fun to see you put this gorgeous table back together. I was working in a buying office in New York With when the Brasilia line of furniture was introduced. It seemed that every bride in the office ordered Brasilia furniture for their apartment or house. I came from a family with beautiful old furniture in each room. This idea of ordering a home full of furniture was new to me. Here we are all these years later and the fine design of the table shines through!
I swear being a carpenter must be the most relaxing and rewarding hobby. I must learn this and be one.
Any progress?
Broyhill produced great quality furniture in the mid-century. I recognized it. That particular design was very popular. You did a magnificent job of restoration. It made my heart sing. Well done! Carol from California
Great quality? They sold it at JC Penneys. 😂
My grandparents had one very similar. Solid poplar core with laminate on surface.
Beautiful. Broyhill commercials are streaming through my head. It was always a name synonymous with quality.
My mother and dad got this table in 1965 ordered straight from Broyhill with matching chairs and the matching buffet console.
Some years ago I was a volunteer at a local storefront branch library. There was a children's table in very bad shape. Years of bad fixes, layers of wood grain shelf paper. I removed those layers, stripped the finish and applied new stain and new finish. While there was still some "stress marks" left It came out looking great. It was made of Solid Maple and I discovered a great high grade commercial table. The librarian told the County Library HQ of it and officials came over to view that table. Don't dismiss old furniture as a lost cause, repair it, refinish and enjoy such furniture. Good job on your table
What a beautiful table and transformation. So impressive!
I´m so looking forward to the day this guy buys some led-lights for his shop so it will be possible to see what he is doing. The colour things he is doing sounds interresting. 🤔
That is one elegant table. I love the legs. Another outstanding restoration. 🥰
Thank You.
Goodness, what a lovely transformation! That seemed like quite a lot of work, so I hope you sell it (unless you're keeping it, of course). And, as ever, it's a mixture of interesting and informative, as well as restful to watch - I always really enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Thanks for watching.
Holy crap, that's a massive transformation! Probably one of the biggest transformations on your channel. You can't even tell that it was literal roadside garbage. I'd go as far as to say it's one of my favorite looking ones you've done so far, that finish and color is gorgeous!
Thank you!
I agree. It’s probably my my favourite as well !!!
I like the way you bring old stuff back to a new life.
This time the video seemed a little dark.
Oooh, I have been patiently impatient (lol) waiting for this one, and as always- you knocked it clear out of the park. So thankful you were able to save this. ❤️
I have a teak one coming up that is going to need a miracle. Lol
Thank you!
Well, Angie, you perform miracles on a weekly basis so that shouldn’t be a problem.🙂
@@henriksen4 aww thank you for the vote of confidence! ❤️❤️
Right so happy he saved this piece. I have been anxiously waiting a video from Dashner. I follow both of you. Love both of your work
I've always loved mid century furniture. It will never age. We inherited a late 1940-50's formal dining set. It's been difficult finding a furniture rehab person. I might just try this method. Thank you
Very nice restoration... It's always wonderful to see something that is garbage turned into something beautiful and useful again.
Good job. The latch was correct. It sits in an unlocked position with no leaves. When you pull it apart to add leaves, there are holes in the track where the “hook” drops in and holds it in place. This is so one person can extend the table the correct distance to add a leaf. Then after the leaf is removed, you unlock the track to close it back up. There are instructions out on the internet from the 50s and 60s from Broyhill that demonstrate how it works. Looks great. Great save.
Somewhere someone said " Art is that which conceals art " ....great table !
So beautiful👏🏻a very god video. I am from Denmark and enjoy every video you make, they are very relaxing for me
This is very, very similar to the old table I got for $5 and which I copied all your methods to try to fix it up! It worked and it's now in my house and it's used every day - I love it... Lovely to watch this video..
Utterly lovely. After all that hard work, the table looks like a ballerina on point ❤
Well said. The silhouette of it really is beautiful! 😍
You did an amazing job in restoring the table. Looking at the after photo you would never know it had been in such rough shape. Thanks to the local viewer for rescuing it.
Something that probably would have ended up in the trash heap had you not taken it. Was brought back to life, with you knowledge and gentle handling. It's beautiful. Always look forward to your videos, it's a pleasure to watch you work.
To quote an old friend, "I think it looks pretty good."
Love your calm delivery.
Wow! Absolutely beautiful. I am always bewitched when watching you work. I cant tear my eyes away. Phone ringing? Leave a message. I'm busy watching the furniture magician do his magic.
The finish looks like dark roasted coffee beans! Love it.
Well done! this shows that even a piece that looks to far gone can be saved from the land fill.
Another amazingly beautiful restoration. With the added benefit of your soothing voice providing a 22-minute meditation. Did wonders for my BP. Thank you.
This turned out beaitiful
My parents had this table when I was little about mid 60s. The chairs had leather seats and the back.was rounded wood to match. Love watching your channel.
That table has a beautiful shape and the color combinations you made brought it to life. Thanks for sharing.
I think the table will look fine with a full size solid color cloth laying upon it. A pumpkin orange cloth would accent the legs. You did well editing the video. Good job overall. 👍👍👍
The table looks great now. I learn something about finishing, patching and or repairing furniture on each of your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us.
You sir are a miracle worker! I thought just for a minute, this one might be a lost cause but of course I was wrong. Bravo 👏🏽 👏🏽
Great job! Looks very nice. I once got lucky with an old, hand-made maple dining table. Decades before, someone set a hot dish on it, and left a deep, black mark, about 8 inches per side of a square. My wife said she remembered seeing the burn on it when she was a child, and we ain't exactly children any more. Figuring I had nothing to lose, I decided to see if I could remove it and upgrade the table overall. I took a belt sander to it (don't remember the grit) and it came out, with no damage to the table. After further sanding and care, the thing looked beautiful, and we still use it daily. I just figured a belt sander would butcher it, but no, it turned out great. Like I said, I got lucky.
You are the first TH-cam refinisher I've seen that used a tannin reactive stain! I LOVE using them and ask glad to hear l see them getting some love❤️ If you want to darken the stain you can make strong tea and wash it over the wood which will add tannin to increase the reaction of the stain.
I remember my grandparents used tea on furniture and brazilian black coffee that was like liquid mud that my grandma dyed yarn with.
Every piece of furniture you restore deserves to be in a furniture art gallery!
Turned out beautiful. I did not think it would, and was very surprised.
Great job! I love to see abandoned furniture saved.
Wow! That seemed to be your greatest challenge so far. It came out SO good. Ready for another 50 years!
I have finished and refinished more furniture pieces than I can count. In my humble opinion, I think you did a fantastic job. 👍
I'm amazed how beautiful it turned out
Sooooo much more patience than I have. Glad there’s people like this in the world. Looks great.
this was a good project for you to display your refinishing artistry as well as your refinishing problem-solving skills. it's nice to see you again. thanks to the viewer who gave you the table. i wonder if you will be keeping the table for use in your home or if you are planning to sell it. it's a beautiful makeover.
Thanks, I’m not sure yet what I’ll do with it.
@@DashnerDesignRestoration I t is worthy no matter what you end up doing with it. Thank you. Makes my day. Encouraged me to problem solve as well with some wood projects here.
I thought that I heard the table rejoicing! Did my heart good to watch your kindness to history.
I'm 57 now and I swear my mom had this table when I was little, like 3 years old!!
We have nearly the identical table. Got from a guy who was downsizing; it had belonged to his grandparents. I’ve been too apprehensive about refinishing it but this video has given me wings!!
love seeing restoration of old furniture, making old tired pieces into renewed living beauties. Keep up the good work.
Well done! I would be happy to have that table in my dining room. So sad to think that it could have ended up at the local landfill.
Another beautiful table saved by you!
I have a similar table and have been waiting for one of you guys to show me how to bring it back to life! Thank you!
I love how you frame your finished product shots, always an aesthetic delight
Always a treat to see your work. You have inspired me to save several Danish teak and mid century pieces from the thrift store. Thanks for being such a great resource.
In 1967 my mother got a bedroom and dining room suite in Brasília. She sold the dining room suite but I have the mint condition bedroom entire set. Just gorgeous! Nice job!
This is wild - i literally JUST refinished one of these last year. It has nearly identical marking underneath!
Oh well done. It is a beautiful table... a pleasure to watch your restoration of it.
I can't get over how beautiful that color is. Amazing job.
I love the rich dark finish!
I knew from the beginning that this table was going to be transformed because of your many wood restoration talents!! Many thanks for sharing!
First of your vids to make me audibly gasp. What a stunning piece.
Iv been a subscriber for quite a while now and wanted to say love the videos! You actually gave me the confidence to refinish my own kitchen table and it turned out amazing and I saved a ton of money! Keep up the great content👍🏼
Thanks, I’m happy to hear it.
Your formula of combining vinegar and steel wool is a variation of something called ebonizing which when it comes in contact with wood darkens (blackens) the surface. Very nice work and good bit of patience.
Inspiring to us hobbyists. Thank you!
The suspense🔥 Nice.. clean.... stripped......................... wood
04:54 if you're wondering
Nice! Pretty ingenious way to resolve the issue of the dark stains. The table looks lovely in the darker finish.
Seems like yesterday when that style was new... late 50s... "Danish Modern." Not really Mid Century Modern, but from that time. Great job. Thanks for all the detail you showed in restoring the old girl. Amazing what you can do. Looks new. Beautiful.
beware! this is an addictive channel, easy to watch, with a calm presentation always instructive
You are truly a gifted craftsman. One of the reasons I followed your channel is that you don't paint the wood, but stain it. Painting wood is sacrilege in my opinion.
Damn! I love that dark color. Now it feels like it’s from the later years of mid-century, like the mis-70s, when the manufacturers were still producing the same styles but wanted to give them a more post-modern feel.
Your videos remind me of those old PBS programs. Very relaxing to watch .
Absolutely beautiful. You should be proud! Didn’t notice the lovely form of the legs till you were finished.
Great work! Waiting for the conclusion of the Vox guitar!
Ohhh wow! What an extremely elegant table this has become. Unrecognizable! Fantastic! Never thought one could repair such a tiny little corner!
Holy crap...that's our dining room table from my childhood!
Inexpensive goods when new...looks much better than when it came off the factory floor. Congratulations, superlative work.
Mister Dashner,
I built on your techniques, sort of: 20 mm syringe, 18 and 22 gauge needles (all from livestock supply). Sacrificed one needle by breaking of needle part and blocking the end with superglue or something that will harden and seal. Cap syringe and fill with wood glue and use to fill those nasty little cracks. The 22 gauge takes a bit of pressure, but it will carry glue deep inside the smallest cracks. 18 gauge is more utilitarian but much quicker to expell glue. And you can buy syringes with 18 gauge needles in a single package.
Then, after wiping excess glue, use green inch wide tape used to tie plants to trellises and such between clamp or wood used to prevent marringl and project. Even Gorilla glue won't stick to it and you can reuse one piece infinitely, avoid detection by the gardener from which you liberated it.
Thanks for all the wonderful hints, techniques, and skill you share with us.
Just another fan
It is curious that an almost identical table, even in details, was produced in the USSR in the seventies of the twentieth century. I had one. You have awakened my nostalgia.
Well done job. Like.
I think that deep rich color really suits the style of the table. Good job!
Exciting finish, plus, knowing that a fan spotted it and contacted you!
what a beautiful table. a work of art and by restoring it you made it possible for us to see it as it was intended to be seen. thank you!!
wow, that final dark walnut colour is gorgeous
A simple but very elegant style, with a classic finish. Good work!
Beautiful wonderful job I love seeing something saved that will probably never be able to be duplicated brand new
I have the Brasilia chest-of-drawers, dresser, two nightstands, and two lamps from that series. My mother purchased them, and a full-sized headboard that I do not have, in 1969. They’re beautiful and in mint condition😊
I have learned so much from watching your videos -- your editing, know-how, methods, and patience -- thank you so much!
I enjoy this man's videos. Love to see these lovely old pieces brought back to their glory. Also learn something with each of his videos. 😊❤👍
ah, at last! a humble talented craftsman, who doesn't spoil the show with relentless smart-arsed babble. bliss
You sir, have a great eye for transforming the old into new. I like that you showed the small steps in the process. Thank you for sharing this project with us.
Beautiful work. That table screams mid-century modern. 😆 In fact my parents may have had one. Oh love the ambient noise. 🐕🐾
Just stunning... both the table and your restoration. Thank you for sharing.
Dang that’s a beautiful piece of mid century furniture. Love it
Absolutely gorgeous renovation! You’re very talented and your voice is so soothing! TFS
"Thanks for watching".... Thanks for making the video!!! Truly awesome piece of MCM!!! Looking forward to more!!!!
Beautiful work!…so enjoyable watching all your different skills! Thank you.
Very pretty and I'd like to say Broyhill Furniture is well worth saving.
That table is exactly like the one our family had when I was a child. That transformation makes me wish I had it again.
Boy, lots of knowledge I’ll probably never use. But you do fantastic work and you saved a really beautiful table.
One of your best. A patient and thoughtful restoration.
It’s beautiful! I wish more people would treasure things rather than throw them out.
Wow! Just wow! Amazing! You are becoming such the artist when it comes to how you do your fixes and color matching! Keep um coming! Thank you for sharing and showing us how to go about it. Although I don't think I would ever have the kind of talent with it that you do😊
