I’m confused. The pumice is a wax?

Great video. Located in Louisiana

Blunder: The photo of Thomas Sheraton you showed was certainly not him as photography was not invented until more than 30 years after his death. What you showed was a photo of someone named John Thomas Sheraton from generations later and was excerpted from a photo of him with his daughters. One site identified him as a sea captain.

the support table is really distracting

What brand of stain is that?

five minutes in I was like "sweet! this guy is obviously very knowledgeable and no distracting musi.......SHIT!!!" everyone just has to fuck things up with music. we want to hear what the expert has to say. THAT IS WHY WE ARE WATCHING. no fucky music!! you rock otherwise

I love the content but I have to agree with everyone else. The music. Finishing is an art and so is music, especially when used in video. You don’t have to get rid of it completely, just take the volume down to about 1/4 of what it is now. It’s just too loud and distracts from the subject. I hope you take this as constructive criticism because that’s what it’s meant to be. Again, awesome content!

Could you provide a list of the materials and products you used?

People watching this do yourself a favor, if the table or stand that you are using as your worktable is moving in any way just know you are: 1. Doing damage to your body (it builds up- just like that finish) 2. Wasting energy (you will get tired faster) 3. Not getting the best results Don't be like me 40 yrs down the road with blown elbows, shoulders, and weird backaches and regretting not taking the time to stop and get the work secure.

That was a pleasure to watch David. A really cool process Absolute expert. Thanks for sharing. Just found your channel

I think it looks great. And I'm pretty fussy. So that's something!

Hi. I admire your work very much. I'm trying to figure out how to subscribe to your channel. I,'m old snd technology is hard for me. Snd once I subscribe, i don't know where it goes, or find things again. Please help.please!.julie. I'll try to findy way back to you to see if you wrre inclined to respond.

Nice video. Very informative. I live in Aberdeen, Scotland.

very cool video just came across you. quality work. Ireland

Good tip you can add pigment to bondo

Music is cool David. Don’t listen to the haters. And thanks for the tutorial.

Couldn’t watch,talking,music and metal stand creaking all at the same time.

Anybody out there that could recommend a professional in the Tampa Bay Area to restore the finish on an antique inlaid dining table. It's at least 150 years old. I was told it was built in France for the British market. Oak with fruitwood inlay.

Thanks David. As a former french polisher, I really enjoyed the video. Your way regarding the grain filler is a little different from the method I learned as an apprentice in the late '70's early '80's. But I like it. We used to use oils and driers such as goldsize and terebine mixed with grain filler which was tinted with the desired pigments for colour matching. I've also heard of using plaster of paris finished over with boiled linseed oil to fill the grain. I've got a antique Australian cedar table to restore soon and you've reminded me of some of those little processes that I've forgotten. Hats off to you. All the best from down under. Regards Michael Shaw.

Watching from Michigan. Thanks so much for taking the time to show all the steps. Perfection! Oh, and what's with the artwork on the far wall?

I will learn from you Working on a multiple fracture plaster statue. Will make it happen. Thank you for sharing your talents with me.

I am going to repair 6 ft outdoor statue that blew off the mount. Missing some of the actual pieces so glad to see how you did replacement parts. Waynesville IL 61778

Darn .... I wish your volume was better .... your music is Loud but your voice is hardly adaptable .... I am working on restoring a piece for a patron and really wanted to hear how you did this ...

And you have a rotten taste of music which is even worse.

wtf do you have background music going on to drown out the commenatry ???

Great show from Antrim Ireland.

Are you still doing this, for hire? I have a plaster crucifix of Jesus that my great-grandmother had. I would really like some professional help.

Watching your video in Scotland,and it was very understandable, educational and well presented. Thanks,regards John

Three coats of Arm-R-Seal in gloss.

Your channel is a breath of fresh air on UA-cam.

What do you do if a statue has a leg broken off the body, and is used for the primary weight holding? I thought to use the nails after drilling holes but does it need to connect to the body again?

Hopefully the white house was able to get you some saw horses that don’t wobble through an entire project. Hard for me to watch someone working on such an unstable setup.

that music is so annoying while you barley talking wish you would just turn it off

I was hoping to watch you actually do the carving and texturing. Bummer... But. Great overall...

Truth time. How long did it take to talk yourself into making that first scratch?

Thank you making and publishing this video. A couple of oops with the squeaky trestle and forgetting to push record, but I have seen the same happen to people who have been producing for years. What are your thoughts on stopping at the satin stage? Would stopping there give the piece enough protection? I have some pieces that would not suit the high gloss. Now I suppose I will have to get Instagram. 🤗

Interesting video, watching from Brisbane Australia cheers Graham

Great video. Building up the nerve to do this on a pair of end tables. Charlotte NC.

Thanks 😎

Just getting into wood work. Great video. Watching from Perú.

In my opinion as an experienced professional restorer and conservator of antique furniture for over 35 years, the use of wax underneath a shellac finish is poor practice. There is no reason to use wax and it’s certainly not used in the UK in this way. Traditional finishers used plaster or similar to clog the grain but I favour the pigmented thixotropic grain fillers available these days . These have the benefit of staining and filling at the same time and there is no danger of white pumice or plaster showing through.

Cut the crappy music

Your teaching video is good… the background bird noise is very distracting though

Thanks for walking through your technique - very insightful! from Australia.

Well done. I was just commissioned a set of very old “stations of the cross” and this was very helpful. It is all about invention!

Thanks for showing your work from the UK 👍

Can an alcohol based stain be used over shellac? Or would it make more sense to dye the shellac with the stain? I’m going to be working on birch that I’ll be oiling with Teak Oil first. I really only want to get some slight coloring from the stain. I also don’t have a clue regarding what I’m talking about. Would wax play any part?

What oil and how much do you put in the shellac? Thanks

Great knowledge ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Enjoyed the video, I’ll confess I forwarded sometimes to avoid the sound of those metal legs 😅 music balance seemed fine to me I could hear you clearly. But in general I can live without music in these types of video, but either way is fine.
