I absolutely love how you took it apart and sanded every inch of this piece. At the end it was like a piece straight off the showroom floor. Beautiful job! The only thing I didn't care for was the stain color. I tend to avoid anything with even a hint of an orangey tone.
So good to see paint coming off and really truly upcycled compared to all these upcyclers who think just painting pieces improves them…. Thank you Thank you Thank you❤
I’m playing catch up/binge watching your channel. Someone said it’s worth $300-400? !! 😳😳 ahhhh not where I live. More like $800-1,000k that is just beautiful and MCM is in great demand these days. You’re very good Jamie. I’m enjoy all of these videos. Your camera wrk and editing is great too 👍🏼🇺🇸
Popped up randomly in my recommendations, thought I leave a comment here to let RU-vid know that your content is good. I enjoyed your video, keep going 💪
You just have got a subscriber from Saudi Arabia . It was a nice video no noisy background music and a very clear instruction . The coffee table ended amazing .
Wow, beautiful job! I have this same coffee table, handed down from my parents - purchased in Canada sometime in the 60’s. Mine has never been painted or refinished, and is about the same colour as yours, so good job on the stain choice! I think my parents said ours was teak veneer, but yours may be a different wood. Or the top could be teak veneer, and the base something else. Mine unfortunately has some water damage on the top, and I started watching furniture flipping channels to see how I could fix it up myself. So thank you for posting this video - this piece is exactly what I wanted to see refinished!😁
My Dad built a set of almost the same style in the 70's. The only difference was the top edges were rounded rather than squared. They're in my sister's living room now!
Why on earth would anyone want to paint this gorgeously designed table that awful colour!?!? Man, it needed you to come and rescue it and turn it back to its beautiful self! Well done. It’s gotta be worth at least $300, maybe $400! ❤️🦘🇦🇺😊
Hey man if you are going to do a ton of sanding in your new work space you can hookup a shop vac to your sander. It is a bit annoying to move around and a bit annoying to listen to BUT keeps the rest of your work space much cleaner. Great video and great work.
Watch my latest video! My sander dust collector piece broke and I ended up buying a shop vac and connecting it. Great tip and I recommend it for everyone haha I appreciate your comment man! Thanks for watching
Great Job Man! I love MC design. Save Em! I would recommend going up to 320 on sanding (at least a little) and maybe using Poly instead of lacquer because non catalyzed lacquer really never dries. So the piece will be soft and damage easier. Still Phenomenal Job!!!
I think you did a fantastic job of restoring this piece. If you do another mid-century modern piece, I would consider doing the top a lighter shade of stain than the base. The two-tone contrast was a thing then (I can’t tell you the number of similar pieces my parents had in our house growing up).
Gorgeous result! Took a lot of work but the result is amazing. Good job! (no idea what this is worth...let us know what you eventually sell it for and what market you are in) Thank you
I have a table that looks almost identical to that one (without the teal paint job). It was made by the Lane company ca. 1962. Purchased new by my parents.
Вам пришлось изрядно потрудиться, чтобы избавиться от краски. Она в какой-то мере защитила это прекрасное дерево. И вам удалось его открыть во всей красе. Стол очень современный, несмотря на то, что прожил долгую жизнь. Прекрасно впишется в современное жильё.
Totally, initially I thought a gel stain would help hide any deep paint in the grain. But a clear oil would have looked nice. See my latest video of a desk I just posted where I use oil instead of stain, the grain was so nice! Thanks for watching
Sanding will push the paint deeper into the grain, also sanding the thin veneer on top would be risky. Once you sand through veneer you cant go back, and repairs or replacement will be needed... lots of work.
Wow, you were really meticulous with that clean up. Table looks good as new! I'm not really a wood expert, but it kinda looks like oak to me? I helped build an oak table once and it had the same fine groves, no matter how meticulously we sanded it.
I would have liked to see it just with oil rather than stain. Seems like a bit of a waste to spend all that time taking paint off and sanding it just to stain it all. Looks good though.
