How To Remove Stains, Re-finish & Oil Wooden Kitchen Counter Worktops
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2019
- In this video I will be showing how to do scraping, sanding, and re-finishing on some wooden kitchen worktops / work surfaces / counter tops at a local AirBnB. I need to remove the water stains, heat marks, wear and mould and strip down to the bare wood, and then restore the natural beauty of the wood - which I do by oiling using a hard wax oil finish. This restoration took 6 hours in total, which excludes thie time it took for the finish to dry.

#worktop #refinish #wood - Навчання та стиль
The first half of the ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.
So after 2 builders saying just use Danish oil mate. 1 other saying you need new worktops . And a professional wood restoration man. Not actually getting back to me with a date I stumbled across this video. Ahmed.. thank you very much. I ordered all the same stuff. Just finished all the prep work and they are looking like brand new already.. now to clean up and apply the fiddes hard wax oil. Thank you again..... this is one of the best informative videos your come across
Thank you
It's actually quite a good feeling when you do it all yourself, All we needed was the right advice and tools.
After watching your video several times after deciding, I needed to take back my 30 year old worktop. Many years of tung oil on it, black round the tap area, . Looked awful. Anyway I used the card scraper and didn't really get on with it so continued with the carbine scraper ( excellent tool) anyway finished up by sanding using your advice on the sanding discs and what a result.. so pleased. Purchased the oil wax you suggested and looks amazing. Will need to do a 3rd coat later tonight as the worktop is really soaking it up well impressed with the result, Dining room table, chairs and dresser next. My husband was shocked I managed it, and decorated the kitchen in 2 days. Thankyou for your easy to follow video.
This will definitely be of use in the future. Love your videos, thanks for putting all the time in to make them.
This is exactly what I needed, I have just ordered the scraper. You could save me a massive sanding job doing it this way. Thanks so much! 👍🏻😎
Thankyou for making this video. I followed every step by the letter on my own kitchen worktops, even using the same finish and they look great! Finally put my ‘O’ level woodwork to good use :)
Really helpful video, and great oil recommendation. You get what you pay for! Many thanks for the tips and guidance, I followed it all and am very happy with the result 😊👍🏻.
Great video - This saved lots of frustration with loaded sand discs & like you I only needed 1 to do the whole job thanks to scraping beforehand. Cant wait to go down to a brand new looking worktop tomorrow morning - thanks again for sharing!
I've been using the same product for finishing chess/game boards. It was the nearest I could find to what Ishitani Furniture uses and I'm really impressed with it.
Perfect - thanks for this. I bought a home with a wooden worktop in the kitchen and I had no idea how to tackle it. Much appreciated!
Top bit of advice this mate. Followed the steps you've taken here to re-oil some oak work tops this weekend and they have come out looking brand new!! Great shout on the scraper to begin.
Brilliant Keith, I have to recover my worktops so this has been awesome.. I will be giving this a try next week!
Just done my dining room table using this method as well as using fiddes.
It's turned out really well so the kitchen surfaces will be next. Good video, simple process and inspired many to do the same 👍
Such an interesting process and so satisfying to watch. I had no idea such a service was available. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Awesome job, I'm sure the client was very happy with your work! And thanks for the video, I'm about to do the same job and this helped immensely.
Loved the video. A job well done, and a well edited video.
Wow, those are some nice countertops -- and they look even better now! That wax oil finish looks really good -- perfect choice for the counter.
Good call on the music on this video btw. Has a nice mellow vibe to it.
Perfect restoration!
My kitchen fitter did a terrible job with danish oil on the worksurface, now they look amazing thanks to this video! Cheers
You did 'em proud, Keith. I think that looks better than the original finish.
Interesting video. It's good to see these jobs coming in for you. Let's hope there are many more of them. Best wishes.
Great video! Like your scraping approach, well done!
...and now...it's time for lunch...
:)
Great work, Keith. Think I might invest in a card scraper and explore the techniques. Loved the lunchtime excitement! 😬
I'm in the process of doing our kitchen worktops, and was not far off putting Danish oil on them. Glad I found this when I did, just bought the hard wax oil. £30 for the litre but looks well worth it. 👍
Going to redo my oak kitchen worktops so this has been a great help. Many thanks 👍
Thank you. Just what I needed to tackle my kitchen surface.
Counter tops came out pretty sweet! Will look for that oil finish product and give it a try.
Beautiful restoration work.
This has been so so helpful thank you - so easy to follow. My worktops are severe but I am confident I can get them back :)
Brilliant job done there Keith. Nice finish.
Great video mate 👍🏼👍🏼
What a great video! Love the cutting!
Finally tried this today. Didnt spend enough time sanding down to get all the marks out, but also wanted to limit the amount of dust I was creating. Not bad for a first try though. That fiddes wax oil is fantastic stuff! Much nicer colour than before - its now a better oak colour, much less orange. Hopefully it lasts better than the Danish oil that was there previously
Great work. You can use your orbital with a car paint sponge pad to work in the oil deeper to the grain after application. Shortens drying time too
Thank you for posting this video. It gave me the confidence to scrap, sand and finish my own kitchen worktops which were in really terrible shape. They look great now.
@Minh Dolder shut up
@Zavier Lionel shut up
Really useful vid, this is a job that's on my to-do list. They were done in the past with Danish oil, but there are quite a few bad stains on them now, and it's more than you can pass off as patina 😆
Great job and finish 👍👍👍👍
This is perfect, thank you. We just had a quote we can’t afford to have this done, so we will now do it ourselves. Perfect, thank you. Joanne
How much were you quoted?
Thanks for posting this video. I was quoted £1,300 to do my galley kitchen! Going to give this a go this weekend!
That's ridiculous!!
Great refurb, mate. 👍
Love that hard wax oil, made those puppies pop! 👌
Fabulously helpful and instructive. Have just refurbished my worktops following your excellent guidelines. I'm very impressed also with the Fiddes Hard Wax Oil. When I opened it up I thought; "Oh, it's just posh polyurethane". But it isn't !! Many Thanks.
Nice video! So instructive. I have recently bought wood worktops and applied the oil that was recommended on the package, 3 coats. But it actually looks so unfinished, it still sort of absorbs a bit of water and is not shiny at all, it feels very fragile. I am sanding it and applying the finishing you have used.
Wish me luck hehe
I need an ASMR video of this card scraper - so good!
waou really good result ^^ it looks really nice
thanks a lot man! this really helped me out, i had the same problem and the counter looks great now :)
Hello, thanks for the video, using the hard wax oil rather than Danish Oil is a revelation, I managed to sand and reseal my worktops in a day, with excellent results, last time it took me 5 days for very poor results.
Nicely done once again 👍. I have to refresh my oak worktop in the kitchen.. I think I need to get myself a scraper. Keep up the great videos 😁
Great vid. Very informative for a beginner like me.
Cheers
Awesome looks spiffy, top job!
Great job.. well done.👍
I love how you showed when you stopped to eat lunch! :D
Very helpful and useful technical knowledge to proceed on my own on similarly well used dark oak wood work top with many stains and blisters. I think they were originally IKEA more than 10 years ago.
Crikey! Can't believe it's a year since I posted on here and am only now just getting round to doing my worktops. In the meantime, I built a shed, renovated my garden gate, done a fair bit of gardening and had Covid (I made a full recovery so am now back at the DIY as neither brother nor son, are going to be able to visit me for quite some time). I've used the blade for the large areas and the little scraper for the more difficult area around the tap (it's round so harder to deal with than the square one in the video). I spent about 45 minutes scraping and then stopped for a spot of lunch. I forgot to take a couple of pics but I have to say that the black ring marks, and even a transfer from some packaging that left a mirror image on the surface seem to be gone. A little bit of sanding has been done but I can still see the odd bit of old Danish oil that needs to go. I think I've got time to get two coats on today which is great. Watching the video again was a great refresher (at 73+ things tend to get lost in the miasma that is my brain), so thanks again for this.
Nice looking finish, the oil worked well, should last a long time, good job...
Thank you for a great video... it is very helpful...
What a superb video. I will definitely be sending a tip if this all goes to plan. I had never even heard of a scraper!
excellent... personable guy & helpful guide
pretty amazing to get all that done in one day.
Wow 👍👍👍💕💕like and love it really enjoy watching it.
Maravilloso
👍
Wow Keith 84k subscribers now, you are going from strength to strength bud
Your presenting had improved massively and you have opened the option of wood counters by being able to fix them
Nice job. Well done.
This was really useful. Thanks so much
Great job!
Truly well done
Thanks for posting such informative video
That is one professional job Kieth. Nicely done :-)
Nicely done
nicely done!
Great video. Thanks.
very good. Thank you
Nice Job!
I need to redo my Ikea wood top kitchen ( which was here when I bought the place, wouldn’t have chosen it myself due to this maintenance )... I’m really scared of making it worse but your video gave me soem cofnidence on what I need to do. Thanks
Good job 👍
Fab vid, thanks!
I am SO thrilled with the results on my kitchen worktop. I did it with Danish oil a few years ago, but it was looking bad. So I got in all the tools, (love the Barco tool in particular!). I ordered two 250 cl tins of the wax oil, they were small, but it went so far that I only used one tin despite four coatings (yes, I decided to take no risks!!). It is fab, highly recommend. Now doing my kitchen door, no stopping me 😂
Same :)) I'm on a mission now. Everything wood is getting it!
Thanks for sharing.
useful vid, thanks!
fantastic
How you got the time to do the job and film it all beats me! I have to tackle our kitchen worktops soon and was thinking of using Osmo, but the Fiddes oil looks a good alternative and I shall give that a try. This was a really good video, thank you.
Thank you!
That hard wax oil gave a damn nice finish. You're a dab hand with the card scraper too that old finish came off easily.
Nice to see you are in Norwich! Recognised Grapes Hill and Chapelfield! Good video!
Very cool vid, love the final look at the end, you should feel proud of your work! How often would you advise one does this? Is it only when stains /rot become apparent or should this be done regularly?
lol...you must really have enjoyed that lunch. :-))) another great video.
These look so good! Wish you could come and do our kitchen tops for us!
Needed this! Wish me luck 😂
You did such a good job that made me give up on doing it myself 😂 thanks
Super nicely done!
I personally would have fixed the area around the water tap so they won't get these issues again.
Most of the time it's just that the surface is to flat, and just a slight angle would fix that, since the water would roll off to the sink.
Great advice 👍
Legend
Great work! Thank you for the useful video.
I just can't believe that the owner of the property couldn't clear the worktop before you arrived.
Thanks for this well informed and presented video. Do you think I might get a good result by hand standing? If yes, can I use Asda's sand paper pack please?
The best way to do it because it has dish drainer look so the grove came out good too
This was a really well done video. I just bought a home with wooden countertops that need some love so I'm looking forward to giving this a shot. Do you happen to have any recommendations for oil that can be found in the USA?
Thanks
im wanting to do this for my worktops too. i was thinking of gettifn someone in to do it as i was nervous, but it looks like a fairly easy job to do yourself, just time consuming really but i think if i dedicated a weekend to get it done it would get my kitchen looking like bew again.
Great tutorial. Healthy lunch into the bargain 🙂
Beautiful I wish I could get you to do my butcher block table
great video xD
absolutely amazing.. I could do with you doing my units please
Good to see Anglia Sq in the background!
I wonder for how long it will look that way
As someone looking at it all day long....not long hopefully!!
