Restoring A Mid Century Broyhill Brasilia Dining Table And Chairs | Youtube's Biggest MCM Challenge 

I appreciate someone who will take the time to save these old American classics for the next generation.

I once restored 50 chairs. It was not fun.

Amazing work as always! I’ve been putting off doing our dining set with all the chairs, lol. Love tables, hate chairs. Fantastic job on this big set!

That dining set turned out great. During the reveal it dawned on me how proud the original owners probably were when they brought that set into their home. Even though it had some dings and dents, it appears whoever had it definitely took care of it and was proud to own it. Thanks for giving it a new life for someone else, even if it's you, to enjoy.

The fact that you do your restorations in the middle of Minnesota winters makes your work so much more challenging. What a beautiful table and chairs. Restoring chairs is a lot of hard work and you did a fantastic job on them. I love your videos.

One reason i love Your channel is exactly that You show that even most modern furniture can be rescued, regardelss of the material.

Beautiful set. As always, enjoyed video. You have a gift of doing just the right process to have great results.

This was a ton of work and it turned out so, so well. Good getting to know you in the challenge! See you in the next one. Cheers 🥃

My grandparents had that table and chair set from 1965 until it sold at auction in the 1990s (they sold most of everything and moved into a very large RV and hit the road). That table was a BEAST!!!! Many fantastic family dinners around it.

The chair designs are so elegant. I love MCM.

This video doesn’t do justice to the amount of time it takes to restore a whole dining set. You did a beautiful job and as someone who has been watching you since your beginning, I’ve noticed improvements to your craft and skills. You’re doing a fine job and I’m still very much enjoying your videos. Thank you for sharing this with other enthusiasts and teaching people to restore and not repaint.

I love the Brazilia set of furniture. It’s lovely! Wish I had a whole houseful.

Fabulous! I have a client who has that exact same table and chairs with leaves. That is from the Broyhill’s Brazilian group. She also has the co-ordinating breakfront. Her set is in mint condition. There was a bedroom group from that collection too. When I worked at Macy’s, years ago, as their home furnishing co-ordinator, that was a very popular group that sold. I always displayed it as the front vignette, as you entered the furniture. floor. You did a fabulous job restoring it. Kudos to you. Carol from California

A new life to a wonderful dining set that will hear so many more stories at supper time. Well done !!

WoW! You did it proud!! Looks beautiful too! You got some new skills and they are paying off big time! Love it!!

I recently inherited this same dining table from my parents. I showed my dad the refinish you did of one you had found on the roadside. He was so thrilled by it (and then a big fan of your channel)

Among your best so far. Really wonderful results. I really like the fact that you're "personalizing" the vids by appearing directly and adding humor. Well done. I think more of that will increase your subscriptions. A before/after view and summary at the end would help as well. Lastly, giving practical tips and mentioning specific products will provide us wanna-be restorers a lot of value. Just joined your Patreon.

Well done! I would gladly have that set in my home. Not sure what the naysayers are thinking - too much waste in this world!

You did a beautiful job restoring this set to its original condition. I would be proud to own such dining furniture. ❤

Stunning. Beautiful work as always.

This is such a beautiful dining set! You did justice to its beauty. I’m here because of flippingdrawers. 😊

Hats off for tackling such a huge project in this amount of time and nailing it! I always learn so much from watching your videos, and this is no exception. Half a century worth of grime and you still manage to make it glow bravo 🙌

Incredibly beautiful set. You brought it back to stunning!

That is some awesome dresser! I sure wish you and some of the others were close by your skills are just amazing! That is such a beautiful dresser! I hope you have someone in your family who follows in your footsteps. I inherited my father’s tools and have no idea how to use them. You are truly so talented and did such a beautiful job! ❤️❤️👏👏👏❤❤

The chatoyance (sp?) on that top veneer is lovely! Great job!

Lovely job. I hope you find a good home for it all and they love it as much as we all do. ❤

Great job, dude. Keep it up. You're a true restoration guru.

WOW! I had the same set that I bought at a garage sale and then sold on marketplace a few years after, so I thought maybe you were redoing the same set that I had at one time because I also sold mine with seven chairs. However, I had no leaves for my table. This refinish turned out amazing! Great job!!

A beautiful table and chairs! Once again, a fantastic job! Thanks for the video!

Very nice! You really changed that chair into something great. Great job. ❤

Another great restoration 👏👏👍 I'm with you on the partical board question in mid-century pieces. Well done

We had 4 more chairs than that and not all of them matched. Ours was a much older style but dinning room tables used to be 'the place' for families. I completely understand the amount of work you did. It's all about the chairs. I hope there's a family to fill those seats too. We need more of that. Too much fun to miss. Outstanding work. :)

Great reflexes catching thay chairback at the beginning. Impressed

WoW, that is beautiful! What a ton of work!

Particle board and I’m sure this was very expensive at the time. Better to be restored than end up in a landfill. You’re doing gods work!

I love the Rush 2112 mug! Great job

Co-signing so many things you said. Love the vibes on your channel. This turned out stunning!

Wow, this looks glorious! Great job with the restoration 🎊 🎉

Great work on an epic set. You never disappoint and I love your craftsmanship. Thank you & I hope you enjoyed taking part in the challenge.

Lovely work. I appreciate how meticulous you are. Well done

Nice work. I agree with you about the chipboard, most modern furniture is had or equivalent with a veneer, so who’s to know. If you can save this set from landfill you’ll have done a great service sir. Thanks again for sharing your video and good luck with the challenge.

Beautiful job! Anyone would be fortunate to have this.😊

What a beautiful job. I love that set!

Great video. I watched the Figure One robot demo video and it was driving me crazy where I’d heard the voice before until I realized it sounds like you. Especially the pace of speech and pauses.

That looked great. What a big job!

Excellent set. You did a wonderful job. Thank you!

I am amazed at your patience! All those chairs! It is a beautiful set and you did an amazing job. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome job and one I would not want to do myself 😂 this number of chairs would give me nightmares 👻 Beautiful finish on this set 🤩

Absolutely beautiful well done

Well done. Love the attention to details.

I've been a subscriber for some time now and I have to say your work has SO improved since I first started watching. I can totally remember dinner around that very same table every Sunday when I was a kid. Great job..

You guys doing this challenge are amazing, every one a masterpiece! I have been so inspired by your collective work that I uploaded my first ever video this week!!

Man you do beautiful work! I really enjoy watching your videos!

What a good job you did.

You have one of the nicest channels on RU-vid! Really liked this particular restoration.

Well done beautiful table 👏

Super good. Thank you for letting us watch.

Absolutely beautiful 🤩.

That came out amazing! The design is flawless, what a classic dining set.

Very very nice!

Regarding particle board in furniture, Angie over at Transcend Furniture has pointed out that it’s more stable than solid wood and won’t warp over time in climates with a lot of temperature and humidity changes.

Wow, the set turned out absolutely gorgeous! And I love the color of the seats!

Great work! Amazing transformation. It's a beautiful, timeless dining suite.

grand plaisir de voir votre travail

Wowzers!!!❤❤❤ stunning!!!

😍 Beautiful work!!

Awesome set, wonder how hard it would be to find the 8th chair? Thanks for the show, I always learn something new….

Lovely work

i definitely think it's worth restoring :-) if you didn't restore it, it'd end up in a landfill somewhere and it's a perfectly good, beautiful table. as you said, it can be used for another 50-60 years. i really like the chairs too with all the curved pieces. great work on the restoration and video as always

Beautiful!!!

Particle board or not it's a great piece and you made it shine

Wow! Absolutely stunning set. Your work continues to amaze.

Fantastic job!

Beautiful

Very nice!

Beautiful!

BEAUTIFUL!!! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!! As Always! LOVED The Video, As Do Every Video Of Yours.

Very good indeed 👍

Really great work! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Wow! I’m impressed at how thorough you are at each piece you work on. I also love to watch a person use a chisel n be so accurate with it. I’m sure it takes much practice. You did amazing job on this dining room table. It’s a beautiful piece now n yes, it’ll last another 60 or 70 years if treated right. I also appreciate you explaining some steps. It definitely helps others who are learning. I’m having a hard time seeing my favorites of restorers on this MCM challenge. Everyone is so darn good. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟

Looks awesome 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

So beautiful

Great work 👍

Beautiful 💙

Very good work.

Same chair with bright new look ❤

Good job.👏🏽

Nice looks like new!

Lovely!

This came out so beautifully! Better than new! Loved seeing you problem solve the unevenness between the table at the end. Does your table have a locking mechanism to keep it snug together on the bottom?

Superb

ok, you people. don't do this again. dishes are piling up, I haven't vacuumed, laundry needs doing, and my own feeble efforts at restoration of a couple small tables is on hold..... all your videos are too addictive. i'm enjoying them all.

Bravo!

Nice restoration. Kinda jumped over the upholstery bit to the finished chairs, though. (And I would find it hard to get out of bed on cold winter days like that, nevermind go outside and refinish chairs!) Aroha from Aotearoa...

Beast!

7:55 Would an Automotive Dent Puller work on removing the loose dowels? Simply drill a small hole in the dowel, screw in a screw, attach the screw to the Dent Puller, and pull out the dowel by smacking the weight away from the dowel.

Hey, you could sell those vintage Tupperware measuring cups! I still have and use the exact ones you used here. 😊

BEATYFUL

I can see the future. I've given this video a like before I even started it.

Nice work, be great if you could find a matching chair to complete the set
