      Can you provide me with a list of alternative materials like the sand paper machine? What can I use? I have a dresser I want to repaint but seems like it was previously painted what do you recommend using?

      Hi! For the stain, was it a 50/50 mix of Jacobean and Espresso?

    Give it ten years before the new owner of the desk restores it to its true wood finish. Circle of life Simba

    Nice Job! I run a small woodworking shop and flip Goodwill furniture when business get a little slow. This is a great example of what I do to with cheap furniture to make some extra cash.

  • @Starry_Night_Sky7455

    I like that desk before and after. Either works. The result is wow!
    I flipping luv seeing that fresh sanded wood. Its so clean 🙂. Actually that would give me a decision dilemma 😅. I quite like a natural wood look. However that end result 😍 is wow!
    Write a script? 🤣

    did my first. wood project. old cheap desk from flea market, when I got it a couple years ago it was so bad I just painted it. now I painted the chipping metal legs and support, stripped the paint off the wood top and other wood parts. sanded it down evened everything out. filled in the wood. and chipping dents, stained it Bombay mahogany and it came out beautiful. then put a clear gloss finish, there are some air bubbles but I love it, and. it really is beautiful

    I like your videos and most of what you do. I have to ask the question I would ask anyone. Why are people so enamored with stain? Nothing wrong to use it, but for me, I would use it very little. Keeping a natural wood surface, painting, or maybe using a paint wash. But it's all fine.

    This is gorgeous and if like to view the bullet and do this to some ugly bedroom furniture. You had said once that if you paint a coat of shellac under the paint that you could later step it back down and stain it if your tastes change, right? I would love to see a video where you do that. I always fear I'll regret painting wood furniture. I have commitment issues...lol. Plus my grandmother's voice still rings in my ears. Whenever she would see a piece of painted furniture for sale she would say "it's a pity someone ruined it."

  • @arlene7394
    @arlene7394 7 років тому +20

    Beautiful! Silly as it sounds, my problem always lies with streaks after sealant applications. It would be great to see a video on how to apply it correctly. I have done much research on sealers but without success! Perhaps you can shed some light on this!

    • @ThriftDiving
      @ThriftDiving  7 років тому +6

      Arlene, girl, I had my camera all set up to record me applying the sealer, and the stupid battery died!! LOL. But you know, that is a great idea. I'll do another video and how to apply the sealer. It's tough on larger pieces, I think, because you're always trying to make sure it's smooth and "just right." I'll add this to my video list!!

    • @arlene7394
      @arlene7394 7 років тому +3

    I really love your videos, they're really inspiring. So i have decided to try refinishing a few peices of furniture, My first piece was a great night stand with a marbled top but it was an ugly honey blond wood and I really hated it. but instead if stripping it, I used a gel stain, 3 coats, and it came out beautiful. Have you ever used gel stain? I have since refinished a chest of drawers , a coffee table and a sofa table... I really love doing this. Also thanks for the tip for the stripper you use, blue bear.. I tried it and love it. You're awesome. 🥰

    @mstorrence79 6 років тому +1

    Hi Serena! I love your channel and am inspired to refinish my kitchen cabinets. Can you please tell me how you know when you should sand to remove a finish versus using a stripper?

    • @Badenhawk
      @Badenhawk 5 років тому

      You can use a stripper like citristrip to get the finish coat off because sanding that will gum up the sand paper, then clean it off with mineral spirits, then there is a thing called wood bleach to help take off stain, then you could do minimal sanding. Or, just sand it down like she did. I think it really just depends on how much sanding you want to do, a lot vs a little.
