Thank you! You're a great teacher! The duct tape was such a help.
Wowwwww... Looked so good after!
Can’t wait to see the finished product! This tip came just in time for me - working on a Jacobean hutch with two front spindle legs - can’t wait to give it a try. Your piece was crazy with the spindle AND fluted legs - beautiful though😍 🙏
The duct tape hack is AMAZING! I had a set of chairs I was dreading refinishing because of the spindles. This trick worked so well and it was quicker than using an electrical sander! Thank you so much!
Yesss!!! So glad it worked. I love this method too! 😃
Thank you!!!!! This is so helpful. I’m ordering a bunch of your suggestions for twin spindle beds I’m turning into bunk beds for my boys 🙌🏼
❤thank you! Love the table!🤓
Wish I had known some of your terrific tips years ago! It would have saved a lot of headaches. Such a great video!! You are aces, Denise. Many, many thanks to you for all you share and for making the world a lovelier place to live.
You are so welcome Catherine and thank YOUUUU!
This was a great video. Thanks for information about the different tools available. I am definitely going to try several of these sanding items.
Glad it was helpful Marilyn!
Thank you for this video, it’s super helpful! I’ve recently got into upcycling and my next piece has spindles- so I’ll be putting some of your tips into action soon
So glad and have fun on your next piece! I'd love to hear how the spindles turn out!
Thanks for sharing… wonderful and helpful tips!!!!
Thanks for your tips! Im starting my first ever diy furniture and its a dining table set with 14 spindled legs. I think I did not know what I was getting into when I started it....
Thank you for the great time savers!
You are so welcome!
Fab tutorial with great tips. Thanks
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
I wish you posted this a month earlier. Lol I just finished a table like yours. Fortunately most of the finish was off but all your ideas are brilliant. Could of been so useful. The duct tape idea is incredible! Thank you so much for this awesome video.
Lucky you that most of the finish was off 😆... buy joking aside, these tables are gorgeous and such a pleasure to work on, right?! :) Glad you enjoyed the video Sue! XOXO
Thank you for this. Is there a reason you didn't use the bristle disc on the detail/grooved part of the legs?
I loved the tactical tips in this video! And the (almost?) finished look is so beautiful and worth the effort. I was just confused when you started using the paint. Did you wipe that back after you applied it? The whole video I was thinking, “this is my favorite video ever! It’s so nerdy.” 😂 but then it seemed like it ended abruptly with the paint wash and idk what the actual finish looked like. Thank you for the tips though!! 👏
Thank you for that!
You bet! :)
Great tips!
Thanks Julie!
Trucos fantásticos como siempre, gracias
¡Muchas gracias! ¡Me alegro de que los encuentres útiles!
That table looks absolutely gorgeous. You did a fantastic job. Well done to you. 😉
Thanks so much!
Nice job. Do you think varnish or paint stripper would have been too aggressive for the veneer top?
Beautiful! I love all the tips, especially the tape on the back. Did you apply Sheelac before paint?
Thanks! And I didn’t (the paint I used has a primer in it) but if you were worried about bleedthrough shellac or a clear stain blocking primer is a great idea!
That was nice ma'am I'm using your techniques on an antique chair I'm restoring...
I'd love to hear how it works out for you. Have fun!
@@SalvagedInspirations it Actually works Super Super Super Easy as well time effective...I wish I could just send a picture to you but Ive never done that on here... But thanks
Very useful 👌 👍!!
Glad it was helpful Lily! And thanks for supporting my channel.. it means a lot! Hugs XOXO
The bristle disc you linked states it is for use on automotive aluminum and metal?
Try the 3M Prograde ultra flexible sanding sheets. Total game changer.
Omgoodness the tape idea is brilliant! How many pieces of sandpaper have I wasted because I didn't use tape the strengthen it!
Me tooo! This works amazing... you're going to love it! :)
I bought the 3m disc's but unfortunately they are not working well for me at all. Do you apply stripper first?
Great to see more women getting their hands dirty and doing a great job! Really enjoyed the video and picked up some good tips, thanks!
Thanks Adam!
Thank you soooo much for these valuable tips!! As someone who can’t really justify spending over $500 on a SurfPrep sander (although I’d love one), I find your video to be so incredibly helpful. Life changing, given the amount of time I’ve spent on past pieces. (The duck tape method is genius and I’ve got all the others in my Amazon cart. Can’t wait to try each one). Question, which one of these options above would you use on rounded/bun style furniture feet? Thanks again. I’m a new subscriber and ca f wait to see what else I’m able to learn from you. (Loooove your voice too!! It’s so soothing. Lol)
If you bought them all - try them ALL on the bun feet! What I prefer might not be what you prefer and a lot depends on the finish you're working with as well. If you have some time, I'd LOVE to hear which one works best for you. :) And thanks for the kindness on the voice Kristen! XOXO
how about the sanding mop..?
what were you doing with the water added to the paint? and did you apply it all over the piece? thank you. love all the tips you shared with us as well.
I created a paint wash using 50% paint and 50% water - then applied it to the sanded raw wood on the table. Then wiped it off with a shop towel. It's a paint wash effect giving the wood a nice light 'stain' but you can still see all the beautiful grain through it. I have a more detailed video on whitewashing when I transformed this dining table here kzhead.info/sun/fM-SZ9SNoHeZi3A/bejne.html :)
Where did you get the foam cushion attachment for your bosch orbital sander? :)
Amazon ... I believe I included a link in the show more description box :)
I have an old wood toy box my boss is having me refinish, going from dark stain to white wash, my biggest issues is corners and edges where two boards meet, I can't get rid of the dark lines.
Are you able to use a scraper to scrape off the old finish?
How do you know when you can just sand something or when you have to strip it first??
I use stripper when the topcoat or paint is thick or has been applied in layers. If it's a think factory finish or stain, I will sand it off. :)
The issue with your sanding is going cross grain on the spindles. This will leave scratches that are visible especially on nice stained furniture.
So, no sanding in the deep grooves?
i still have a pain in my rear from sanding those killing details...ouch lol
🤣... I get it!
Great information, but sheesh it was a slog to get through with all the infomercials throughout. Just saying you have affiliate links to the products you used in one line at the end would be so much less annoying and make me so much more likely to use them.
You dont!! Just buy a soda blaster.
I would love to try a soda blaster!
Poor Canadians……
seems a shame to put paint on this nice timber
...it looks worse...
Ma'am you aren't using your sander correctly.
Why?
@@izadaniel8520 I'm referring to the blue sheet sander used on the table top in the beginning. Those sheet sanders need to be used slowly, directly forwards or backwards only. Not in the vaguely circular motion used. That's just guaranteeing a uneven Sanding and shows me that this lady is too new to refinishing furniture to be making videos on the subject. Know your tools, it's important.
@@user-sx7tf4lg5ijust think of it like this, she’s learning every day like all of us. I’m glad you added this comment for both of our benefit. I’m learning about sanding my deck, there are years of solid stain and some cracking so I’m going to use a flap disc and angle grinder, but the videos I watched did indicate to continuously move in one direction while applying in an even circular motion, or you would get really visible circles in the wood.
the color is ugly. The previous one was nicer
Fastest way is to sand blast… does cost $$$$ for a good kit tho… saving up for a sand blaster but until then I’m using just about every type of power sand I can to avoid scraping🥹😂
I’d love to try sand blasting!
