Furniture restoration process start to finish from @refurbishedish

The creator takes a free, damaged mid-century modern dresser and completely restores it. She demonstrates the entire process, including cleaning, removing hardware, repairing chipped veneer with epoxy putty, gluing and clamping loose sections, sanding the entire piece down to bare wood, applying shellac and toner, color-matching repairs with blendal sticks, spraying a final topcoat, and conditioning the drawers. The video concludes by revealing the fully restored and styled dresser and installing new hardware.
