refinishing an old trunk (dismantle/repair/rebuild)
We revived this old trunk for a client that found it on the side of the road. Fully dismantled, repaired, rebuilt, and added some castors to make a coffee table with storage.
haven't done one of these in a while and it was fun.
finished with 3 part varnish: poly/mineral spirits/boiled linseed oil.
enjoy!

    Hi! Great tutorial. I have to build letters also. But I have to build an O and U. I would like them to be curved. I know it’s easier to flatten the curves, but do you have a tutorial on curved letters? Or any tips? Thanks!

    • @juliaivancic228
      @juliaivancic228 2 місяці тому

      Also, do you have recommendations to make the letters more weather resistant? If you apply an oil based protectant, what paint do you recommend to apply after? I will be doing a live spray painting of the letters during a university frosh event and I want to make sure my paint adheres. The letters are expected to stay outdoors for about 1 week on grass. I’m putting them onto a platform for stability. My concerns are moisture from the grass and rain

    • @BasemeantWRX
      @BasemeantWRX 2 місяці тому

      You can do the curves same as the squared off, just ensure a flat bottom. I would sneak up on the curved portions with a sander until they are how you when the front and back are separated.
