Very gorgeous piece! The wood grain is amazing! You did an awesome job! Love that you explain each process! Thank you for sharing your expertise with us! 😊
I'm from Lenoir, North Carolina, where the Broyhill Furniture Industries home was located. They sold out to another company many years ago, and are no longer in business. They did make some fine furniture with different product lines at different levels of quality. Thank you for this informative video in which you carefully explained the processes and materials used to make a beautiful restoration. I have subscribed, and look forward to seeing more of your very fine work.
You mentioned that the sealant does not need to use HVLP sprayer because it comes in cans, but can you brush that same combination on? or does it need to be sprayed in some manner?
Well done! I refreshed a Brasilia gentleman’s chest recently and am about to get armoire that Ill need to refinish. I’ll be watching this video again soon 😄
Do you list the products you used on the pieces you've refinished anywhere?! I'd love to know what to buy if I were to take on a beautiful piece such as this, and follow your steps!! BTW... You've got a subscriber for life!! Love your videos, and have nearly watched them all in mess than a week!
Different tools for different scenarios. I love QCS and value it's use. But when the finish is flaking I find it easier to scrap. It also saves in QCS which I can use one another project.
Great restoration ! It’s so nice to see you using environmentally safe QCS! Can you tell me what the Glazing step does ? Very nice , clear explanation of your products and steps , Thank you !
Sure! Glaze gets into the pores of the wood and makes them pop. Sometimes sanding will remove the color from the grain. Glaze will help fill that in. It always gives the pieces an overall color.
Absolutely amazing piece of furniture. I love the shapes and woodgrains. Just as a n00b, why didn't you use the spray finish remover on the rest of the piece too?
TBH it all depends how I'm feeling. Sometimes I like to save product by using the scraper especially if the finish is very brittle like it was on this top.
First of all, I love your work. You're the best in the business! However, I am curious as to why you used stain instead of toned lacquer? Wouldn't toned lacquer be accurate to this piece? Thanks and I look forward to your response.
Great work! your technique is detailed, meticulous, with excellent results. I didn't know furniture with the design of the Palacio do Planalto in Brasilia, Brazil. The curvilinear and elegant lines of the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer made history in Brazilian architecture and marked an era in the 50s and 60s. Do you know who made this furniture?
The manufacturer is Broyhill. I'm not a huge Brasilia fan so I do not know all the details. But I do think people get confused of the designer and concept origin.
@@MadManRestorations The origin of this design comes from the front arches of the Alvorada Palace, the official residence of Brazilian presidents in Brasilia. The architect designed several official buildings from the 50s and 60s, but these arches are unique, not repeated in any of his other projects. I found on Facebook a group of lovers of this line of furniture, passionate about the design reproduced in furniture.
I just came into possession of a Brasilia long dresser and mirror. Overall the finish is in good shape with some minor scratches on the bottom where the wood type appears to be a lighter variety. Could the same products you showed in your video work to restore minor scratches?
@@patriciacrozier7624 I forget what the dealer sold it for. But I'm guessing around $2,500. The market has definitely softened over the past 9 months or so.
I do not have an affiliated link. But if you send me an email I would be more than happy to help you out. I'm pretty I showed all the products I used in the video.
Yes, most MCM furniture was mass produced. They is why there are cheaper woods with more expensive veneers on the same piece. That is why the color is matched using stain, toner, and glazes.
All the wrong finding Brasilia all over the place lately. When I say wrong, I mean people who own more than one shade of chalk paint and an orbital sander. Thank you for not painting any of that beautiful piece! Nice work!
Using a scraper is not recommended. I know a lot of people like them, but they are not worth using. Definitely not something to teaching to beginners. You need to upgrade, simply do an acetone wash it would be done in minutes with that dry finish. You wouldn’t run the risk of damaging the piece. Scrapers have limited use in a professional setting. Definitely not for stripping a whole piece of furniture. If you want to maintain a high standard please ditch the scraper.
Bondo? Why didn't you use wood glue or a piece of wood cut to size? Bondo is a cop-out. This in itself makes me run. Losing a subscriber because you couldn't be bothered to do it right is not a good idea. Bye!
@@RissaFirecat this is a standard practice for high level furniture refinishing. There are multiple levels missing in the substrate to fill. Unless you mean why I didn't use a piece of veneer? That's because it's pretty much impossible to find a piece of veneer with matching grain. I literally made a faux piece of veneer to match the existing wood grain.

This is prettier than it was new! Thank you for your generosity in sharing your techniques and expertise.
My pleasure.
Great Job !! Beautiful !! Thank you for not throwing some ugly paint on that piece!!
Paint?!?! Never 😁

@@weeberz1 they come in ready to use spray cans. No mixing involved. Companies make brush on lacquer but it's garbage. Lacquer needs to be sprayed.
Gorgeous and my favorite piece .
@@wandamcgiboney5141 thanks for watching 😊
Broyhill, that’s a name I heard a lot on 70’s game shows😊
OMG it would be so cool to see a Brasilia set for sale on The Price Is Right!
Gorgeous restoration. The bondo shocked me but the color matching was superb.
Thank you. It takes practice but it's definitely doable 😊
Absolutely stunning. Beautifully done! 😊❤
Thanks 😊
I so appreciate the depth of of your knowledge and commitment. Those Mohawk products are amazing, too.
@@colleenmccarthy-evans3149 thank you. They are commercial grade products but very user friendly.
My cool Aunt had the Brasilia dining set! It was gorgeous. Like a Jetson's set...at least I thought so as a kid. You did a fantastic job!!!
Thank you. It's definitely futuristic for the time.
Well done! I refreshed a Brasilia gentleman’s chest recently and am about to get armoire that Ill need to refinish. I’ll be watching this video again soon 😄
Good luck!
Impressive work! Very nicely done! Thanks for sharing the details.
My pleasure. I hope you learned something 😊
Very detailed explanation and information
Thank you. My goal is to educate people the proper way to refinish their furniture.
Beautiful! You’re a wizard!
Thanks 😊

This video helps a lot!!
At 4:35, why do you use scraper to remove the finish? Why don’t use QCS as well? 🤔
Can I use QCS instead of scrapper?
Different tools for different scenarios. I love QCS and value it's use. But when the finish is flaking I find it easier to scrap. It also saves in QCS which I can use one another project.
WOW! Great Job! Wish i could buy it.
It's for sale by the client. DM if interested or I should probably put a link in the description lol
What a beautiful piece of MCM furniture! Thanks for explaining as you work. 🫶
My pleasure 😊
Such an amazing job!
One question😂… are you scuffing between each of these 3 steps also? Vinyl sealer final coat, glaze coat, lacquer topcoat.
Scuff every coat of vinyl sealer. Scuff between coats of lacquer except the final coat. Never scuff or sand glaze.
and Mrs T WOW great job looks amazing
So good. Thanks for all your videos. Love Mohawk products, but I've never used their wiping stain. Do you know how it compares to Old Masters?
It's very easy to use. It does not make the wood blotchy or accentuate scratches like oil based stains.
Great restoration ! It’s so nice to see you using environmentally safe QCS! Can you tell me what the Glazing step does ? Very nice , clear explanation of your products and steps , Thank you !
Sure! Glaze gets into the pores of the wood and makes them pop. Sometimes sanding will remove the color from the grain. Glaze will help fill that in. It always gives the pieces an overall color.
Lovely workmanship turned out fabulous well done.
Thank you. It's a process but I feel anybody can do this.
Love the bird sound.
Lol thanks. A lot of bird activity where I'm at.
You are my favorite magician ! 😀
Wow. Thank you. I like to think it's not hard. Just takes patience and dedication.
Absolutely amazing piece of furniture. I love the shapes and woodgrains. Just as a n00b, why didn't you use the spray finish remover on the rest of the piece too?
I sprayed lacquer on the entire piece. I just didn't show it in the video.
Otimo trabalho , parabens..
Eu fiquei surpreso, nao sabia q haviam moveis com a tematica de brasilia, isso foi uma grata surpresa...
I just discovered, that the furnitures are relly expensive! But they are really beautiful ans so well built. and you did an amazing job!
Thank you 😊
WOW,,,,BEAUTIFUL ,,,
Amazingly beautiful piece! Thanks so much for sharing
My pleasure 😁
Precioso, precioso.
Gorgeous
Thanks 😊
Just found your channel and after this restoration, I definitely subscribed! Great work!
Wow. Thank you! 😊
You said the QCS is great for the curved doors - what is the advantage of scraping the finish off the flat parts instead of using QCS there too?
TBH it all depends how I'm feeling. Sometimes I like to save product by using the scraper especially if the finish is very brittle like it was on this top.
Beautiful restoration, wonderful job the piece is exquisite!!!
Thanks. It's a labor of love.
Maravilhoso ameiiii PARABÉNS excelente trabalho e obrigado por postar ❤
First of all, I love your work. You're the best in the business! However, I am curious as to why you used stain instead of toned lacquer? Wouldn't toned lacquer be accurate to this piece? Thanks and I look forward to your response.
The goal is to get the color right. This way insures you get Brasilia color.
@@MadManRestorationswill this be refinishable in the future? My goal is to preserve my vintage pieces for at least another generation. Thanks
@@ninth6655 following these steps will ensure this piece was last another 60 years.
OMG, how beautiful is that! Such a nice job. And how lucky were you to find a beautiful Brasilia piece like that.
Thanks. But it's not mine. It was a client's.

This is amazing!
Beautiful restoration!
Well done!! I just uploaded my latest refinishing video and working on my next 👍🏻😀
Awesome wonderful job! Loved it.❤. Interested in what it would now be worth?

@@SuzanneOost-dc2yh thank you 😊
You man this was my first video of yours I watched. I’m now a subscriber. This was beautifully done. Handsome piece of furniture. Well done 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇺🇸
Wow! Thank you. Stay tuned 😁
My heart be still!
Beautiful! I’ve been looking at getting away from box store products. Mohawk products seem like the way to go
They are! People may think they are pricey but the results speak for themselves. The consistency and quality is far superior.
Beautiful !!!
What a beauty! Thanks!
My pleasure 😁
Amazing job!
Thanks 😊
Body stain and sealing are beautiful.🎉
Thank you 😊
What kind of paint do you use for the in painting?
@@bridgidbartkiewicz7527 I use Mohawk blendal powders. I'm pretty sure I go over the exact colors in the video.
Do you just put toner on the ash wood or do you vinyl coat it and glaze it as well? Thanks, Tim
Vinyl sealer then toner. Glaze the whole piece then lacquer.
Beautiful
Wonderful job, I enjoyed your instructions…new sub!
Thank you 😊
Awesome video my friend, I picked up a bottle of qcs with your promo code. Hope the kickback helps 🙂
Sure! I've been a user of QCS from the beta testing. It's a great product. Gary and his team are really doing something special.
Great educational videos.
Thank you. The goal is for people to learn how to refinish furniture correctly.
Do you have a list of the products you used - and an affiliate link?
I do not have an affiliated link. But if you send me an email I would be more than happy to help you out. I'm pretty I showed all the products I used in the video.
'Lucky you' is right. With your restoration I doubt anyone would sell this for less than $4,500.
Market has died down a little since COVID. I think this sold for like $2,000 max.
Removing old contact paper is like trying to get rid of a tattoo.
Hahaha. Great analogy!!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Why didn’t you just fix the corner with veneer?
You could do that. But finding an exact match can be difficult. I find I get better results inpainting.
Lane was not expensive furniture. That is why the wood variations.

It's a tool in my tool box. Sometimes I use it. Sometimes I don't.
Thank you so much for talking in this video. I cannot stand the furniture videos where there's no speaking.
I don't have a very soothing voice. But thank you.
@MadManRestorations actually I've now watched other videos and you do talk. Much better
