Molly, Sorry, but I think that’s kind of no thought out. Dashner said the same. Thinking it through - full wood pieces probably wouldn’t get destroyed as easily and then you wouldn’t have to use epoxy (harmful?) to make the piece useable again.
A particle board piece is good experience for a novice at furniture restoration. There is knowledge that can only be acquired by practice. You gain practice with tools and materials. You learn more about what constitutes good construction. You learn the limits of your skills and patience. The knowledge gained helps you avoid costly mistakes on a piece that has greater intrinsic value. If you chuck that piece of MDF back in the landfill, the world is none the worse for it.
@@boa9535 a) who said epoxy is harmful? Wood dust certainly is harmful to the lungs, but I have never heard that epoxy is harmful. Particle biard is made out of all the scrap and sawdust. Also, wood that has had woodworm in it. It all goes into the mix.
@@valkyriesardo278 "test of your skills and patience" this is very true, every time I get impatient, I make mistakes, which generally take me twice as long to fix! It's all a learning experience, unfortunately I learned on some amazing mid century modern pieces 😪 lessons were learned
@@leorising8074 I also always learn something here. I have a piece or two to refinish. I've learned to relax a bit with the thought that usually an old, well used piece will have some damage. Some can never be totally "fixed" just sort of managed or camouflaged. I think that's OK, I believe wood likes to be used and enjoyed, and can take some bumps along the way.
I don't know if I've ever commented on one of your videos, but I'd like to thank you for how many times your videos have helped me fall asleep when I'm having a hard time doing it. They're relaxing like no other channel I've watched on TH-cam.
Those boots and gloves reminds me about those cold Minnesota winters... 🥶🥶🥶🥶 Thanks for the scraper tutorial, very informative. As always, I learned something new. Particle board is not my "thing", but now I know it's worth restoring. The end result was beautiful. Nice piece of furniture, loved it. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
It's been my experience that particle board weighs a bleeding ton!! I'm refinishing a dining table right now and it's particle board. Since I'm70 years old and having spinal fusion surgery in a week, I'm thankful for a husband who is 12 years younger and willing to do the good, old American BFI. That's brute force and ignorance lol. Great video, Dash.
The color of that bottom shelf looked so awesome. And the color match was dead on. Thanks for the info about the particle board. Now I feel more confident to make repairs to pieces with that material. As always, amazing video!
Watching your videos are one of my most effectice tools for reducing anxietyand. I enjoy your voice, the consistent style of editing and structure of the videos. As well as the editing of the sounds, reducing or taking away the machine sounds, makes all your videos so calming and enjoyable to watch. Thank you, you make my weeks better.
The sound of your voice is so soothing and there is no irritating music to distract from the content. I have learned so much from you and a few of the other men and women doing videos. Come summer, I have quite a few projects lined up. Thank you all!
I live in an old building where mice are a frequent pest. Particle board is their very favorite thing to chew on, so it's anathema to me. But honestly your attitude makes all the sense in the world to me: "it's worth saving" is a good mantra as we learn to live more lightly on the planet, not chucking things out for simple judgment value.
It can be easy to bear down in a scraper actually - if it is a smaller width blade and not positioning correctly. Make no mistake it does take practice and some good advice to use the correct scraper and to use it correctly.
Another gorgeous restoration, Dashner! You had some different challenges with this piece and showed how to overcome/resolve each of them, so thank you. Re the particle board comments you get (vs “solid wood”): 1. I think a large part of it is due to lack of knowledge when it comes to the construction of furniture. It’s like comments I see from viewers re veneer (which typically goes over particle board or a far less expensive/“attractive” wood) and assuming veneer is “fake wood” like a laminate. 2. You’re SAVING IT FROM THE LANDFILL (sorry for yelling)!! Anyway, this is just my opinion and observations of those commenting on particle board in your videos. Keep doing you and thanks for all you do!💜
I just saw a video about using super glue on cotton shoved tight into holes on particle board. Apparently the super glue creates a really hard base into which we can screw, thus holding the piece together long enough for the particle board gives a way in another area.
I love the added commentary you added to this project. It’s great to see what you do to fix mistakes or when things don’t go as planned. That’s mastery!
I am old enough to remember real flea markets. People would pile all their stuff/juunk into booths. Prices were really cheap. You couild hunt for treasures. For the last several years we seem to mostly have anitque malls and such. High retail prices for used wholesale things.
I’m often Jekyll & Hyde regarding your work. Thoroughly impressed with your mad skills but at the same time realize I’m soooo below it that I want to throw in the towel🤪. Seriously, nicely done Sir!
I'm a big fan! Your furniture selection, attention to detail in repairs and refinishing, and maybe even the most important for me is your cinematography! You make it look easy, all of it.
You’re correct about the weight thing. MDF and particle board is often significantly heavier than plywood and most solid wood panels of the same size. That’s one of the reasons why it’s so nice to work with high quality plywood like baltic birch or Appleply for furniture making or cabinetry; not only is the wood panel more stable, durable, and resistant to moisture damage, but it’s lighter weight and thus easier to work with and mount, as well! But MDF and particle board is often chosen not just for lower price, but situations where flatness is very important, because while plywood will often be and remain much flatter than a solid wood panel, it’s still not as flat as MDF or particle board. OSB can be a great option for this as well. MDF especially is great for getting consistent, smooth cuts, especially on the interior where any plywood lower quality than baltic birch will have voids or softwood, and cause chipping and weakness where you are trying to cut joinery, though MDF smells kind of weird when you do, and lots of people find it somehow unpleasant to make cuts in!
With such attention to detail, I would’ve enjoyed seeing the finishing the underside of the bottom boards. A great piece of repairing and refinishing. I like the voice over narration as well.
As usual nice work ! Particle board and plywood have been part of furniture making for decades. Just the way it is. It takes a true craftsman like yourself to turn pieces like this back into a sturdy useable piece.
I really enjoy your videos. Your narration, your delivery and voice are quite calming-the cadence and pauses give us enough time to see the process and appreciate your craft. Plus the “script” is excellent!You may have a career in broadcasting or voice overs in your future if you haven’t yet! 😊 Not to mention how beautiful the pieces are and how it showcases your excellent craftsmanship. Bravo
Great job!! I still can't get over the way you steam out the dents. I didn't realize wood would react that way. Good looking little table. Thanks for doing what you do!!
It's always a quiet delight to watch these videos. Not only is something being restored to being useful and good looking, with clear explanations as to what is being done and why, but the videos themselves are always made in a really enjoyable way.
Yes, love me some Dashner videos and his calm soothing voice (like Barry of Mad City Modern too). One of the reasons I love gel stain (vs penetrating stain). Plus General Finish has some gorgeous colors. I do a lot of hand painted furniture and use a variety of paint brands (Annie Sloan, Dixie Belle, Country Chic) and Dixie Belle has their own line of gel stain. So I’ve used theirs a lot, whether I’m staining/refinishing a whole piece or painting part and staining part.
Amaizing job. I never can fastforward your video. I have to see all. You are truly a Master. Thank you to teaching us how to redo beautiful furnitures. 🤩👍🖖
Love the particle board fix! It seems to be a one and done material. No removing screws and hoping to put them back in! This is a beautiful little table ❤️
Yet another brilliant transformation from you - thanks for sharing. It's so satisfying to watch you work and listening to your calm voice while explaining everything you do is the perfect combination. All ready for your next 'project' now ! Take care and thanks again.
All furniture can and should be recycled where possible. Bravo. This piece came up really well. Your comments on particle board (or as we usually call it over here - chipboard) are very important. When I was at furniture college MDF (basically dust held together with formaldehyde glue) was the big 'new' material, as well as something called Corian which was a solid plastic board. We quickly concluded that if Chippendale, Sheraton and many of the other 18th-century cabinet-makers had had these sort of materials available they would have leapt on them for their stability as a base for veneered cabinetwork. Earlier generations of craftsmen too as a means to show off their incredible marquetry and parquetry work. So called 'solid wood' cabinet-making has generally been at the lower end of the market, or more suitable forms such as chairs, it simply doesn't work very well (generally) for big flat surfaces, because of the difficulty of stopping wood moving, and its desire to adapt to its surrounding atmosphere. Wood wants to keep moving - stretching or shrinking - depending on relative heat and humidity. 'Particle boards' are inheritable more stable if sealed properly. I have become much more reluctant though to specify formaldehyde based products for obvious reasons. IKEA and other mass market makers have shown how superbly you can furnish using the minimum of material.
Thanks for your videos! I occasionally pare down my TH-cam subscription list, but I keep you on my permanent list. Always informative, even though I generally am making new woodworking projects, though I have a mission style side table that needs refinishing. I better get to it!
Oxylic acid works on _iron stains_ , because iron oxylate is clear rather than red or black like iron _oxides_ (rust) It isnt really going to do much for what appears to be deeply ingrained mildew from water wicked up into the wood grain of the legs.
Dasher I have been looking for a new furniture stripper that worked as well as the old citrus strip. I have found one that is also safe for the environment, like the citrus strip was. I have tried it out and so far it’s much better and no smell. Smart Strip by Dumond, it says up to 15 coats thick. But my piece has only 6 coats on it. But So far so good, but we did lay plastic wrap over it and allow it to stay on the longest time required. But it’s a great product so far.
I find your video’s very relaxing to watch. But maybe i got a suggestion for u. Because I saw you didn’t finish the bottom’s of the boards. I learned it is better to finish the piece all the way around. This to prevent potential warping of the boards. Even when it is MDF or particleboard. Just a suggestion.
I am not a fan of pressed wood for a number of reasons. Weight is one of them. That turned out well. Good choice on the epoxy. It's the only glue that can fill an area and still hold. I was hoping as I watched you'd use it to reattach the legs. Keep up the good work.
Another great restoration! After you applied the stain, the darkness on the legs just seemed to blend. A professional touch for sure. I always enjoy your tips and tricks for problem solving with furniture. 🙂👍
Looks great! About the use of particle board: I agree that such pieces should still be saved, however I think it's worth noting that even manufacturers like Laine had ranges of furniture, and the more expensive pieces would have been solid wood. The use of particle board (not plywood, that's different), was a cost-saving method and came with many drawbacks. It is absolutely a mark of furniture that has been made to a cost.
This I would premier to someone who has never watched your videos. A lil sass! A lil tude! But not really just responding to your community with insightful information and opinions. Gone thru refinishing and staining my old desk, watching this video gave me all the answers I had while scraping the finish off it. Thanks for filming your hobby nd sharing!
I find that when a piece seems exceptionally heavy that indicates most of it is particle board. This stands to reason because it is denser than wood even though it is structurally weaker. Wood is essentially a bundle of narrow bore pipes that conduct nourishment from root to leaf. I think of particle board as sawdust bound together with adhesive.
I know particleboard isn’t the best but I also would work with it just to keep it out of the landfill. You did a great job here! Appreciate it! Thank you
I don't worry about the particle board stuff, if the craftsmanship and veneer is quality. I'd never build with the stuff unless I couldn't get anything else because I'm lousy at veneer work. Nice restoration!
This turned out beautiful, particle board or not! I recently discovered your channel and love what you've done with the few I have watched. My Dad was a woodworker and every time I watch one of your videos I think of him. Beautiful work.
Yeah me to I'm no friend of particleboard. On the other hand, I like your attitude about particleboard, cause it shows you have an open mind. Love your videos and love to see more... ; ) ... always!
I have a Warner paint scraper that I got from Lowe's and it looks very similar to your Husky model and has a carbide replaceable blade. There must be a good amount of Lane pieces as you always seem to have another unique piece that just turns out beautiful each time. Thanks!

The same
That turned out beautiful. The gel stain made all the difference. Nobody would guess there was particle board from looking at it. 👍💯

Being from Manitoba and relatively close to you, the sights and sounds in the background (snow, birds etc) match exactly what I hear here.

scene cuts to you dropping an lp on that record player. Something jazzy and scratchy while you're stripping down some furniture. That came out nice!

Such a smart fix using epoxy clay over particle board damage
Yes! So happy to see a new video pop up. Just in time as I’m going to the clinic and need good material to keep me busy 😀
Nice job. You saved the tables integrity!

I find that when a piece seems exceptionally heavy that indicates most of it is particle board. This stands to reason because it is denser than wood even though it is structurally weaker. Wood is essentially a bundle of narrow bore pipes that conduct nourishment from root to leaf. I think of particle board as sawdust bound together with adhesive.
It looks so good now. Great job. Beautiful restoration job there Dash as always.

Particle board has its advantages in furniture that folks tend to overlook. Nice fix on those legs. I'd have Bondo-ed and rebored the holes.
Very nice table, thanks for posting the project.
Thanks for watching.
Nice Sorel boots. Thys're the best.
Good points. I have a particle board table with a laminate top. It is heavy and strong.
Like brand new!! Beautiful job
That was a good find and the results look great. Lane made a lot of popular furniture back then.
God that bottom shelf looks amazing
Simply beautiful!
Elegant and so fresh. Well done.
Awesome transformation and color matching!
Lane Manufacture did some nice pieces, particle board or not. Good looking lines.
