In this in-depth video presentation, Simon demonstrates how to refinish a pine dining table using Gilboys Hard Wax Oil and Gilboys Antique Gold beeswax polish.
Simon was trained at the www.dartington.org/ owned, Staverton Joinery. His parents signed him into a traditional apprenticeship which started when he was just 16 years old.
With business mentoring from 'The Prince's Trust' Simon opened his antique restoration business in 1994. Gilboys now operates from a beautiful purpose built building nestled beside the River Dart and alongside www.southdevonrailway.co.uk/
Simon demonstrates a very easy to follow process, that can be applied to any wood dining table, following the techniques he demonstrates in this video.
Many of the materials he uses in this restoration can be purchased direct from Gilboys website.

What a great teaching video! I’ve saved this one, for future reference. Many of us share your joy of touching timber. I also love the smell of timber yards/shops, we’re all a little mad and that’s ok 😂

It is amazing how sensitive your hands are to feeling even the smallest of dust or grains. Even if you have old work hardened hands.

Swirl marks are why I don't use an orbital sander - as handy and fast as they are - the swirls create more work. I use a standard "vibration" style sander - and work my way up to fine grit paper.. and end with hand sanding. I love the little hills & valleys in old wood and work to retain those. I absolutely love Simon's appreciation & enthusiasm for beautiful wood... I thought I was the only one who gets so much joy out of the feel of gorgeous wood. :) I have a 19th c pine table I've been putting off restoring - and this is the method I plan to use on the top - this video is much appreciated! The slow, clear details are so helpful. The table is stunning!

Beautiful, beautiful restoration. Really brought the pine to life and gave it a depth of character and interest. Perfect presentation, perfect result. I have recently used your hard oil wax to restore a Victorian washstand even using it off script to bring the black granite top back to life with a couple of coats, wonderful product. I don’t usually comment nor watch restoration videos as too much like a busman’s holiday but this one gave so much joy. Thank you x

Thank you. You're very kind. 😌 I think I'm going to invest in a decent microphone. The roof in this part of the building challenged my editing. 😀 Thanks for watching and using our hard wax oil. Kind regards Simon

@@GilboysRestoration Dear Simon, the pleasure is all mine (and many others no doubt). No need to invest in a new mic though, as your passion, artistry, craftsmanship and smile says it all and watching you gives all the instruction needed. Many thanks for all the vids and for sharing your knowledge. Best wishes xx

This was so helpful thank you! I noticed your table’s legs have been painted. Ours haven’t, would you suggest following the same method with the legs and sides?

Hello, what is the name of the liquid wood stripper that you use in this video?

@Ian-xy7xi 7 ай бұрын

Didn't realise you could use your polish in between coats of the oil , how dos that work? Have used your Wax oil on pine, oak and an elm and beech chair - all worked a treat and much more pleasant to use for me than Danish or Finishing oil (noticeable lack of oily / chemical smell)

Thank you ☺️ The hard wax oil will bond with the beeswax in our range of polishes, and with the HWO underneath. **Only with our polishes and waxes** I'm not saying this for sales, it's much more on a professional level: You have no idea what is actually in the contents of other wax polishes. Because of this you could easily have a reaction when applying it where it doesn't bond to the surface. kind regards Simon

Hello! I’ve been given a mid Century dining table with a teak veneer. It looks ‘well used’ and dull and I’d love to bring it back to life. Is there anything you’d recommend?

Hi Foxymusic. Our rose gold polish works very well on Mid Century Teak. Please do email me directly with an image and I'll help with any further advice. Kind regards Simon.

what to do if veneer is bubbly? btw your wax products are far superior to others (rubio, odies, etc)

@GilboysRestoration 7 ай бұрын

Thank you. It very much depends if the veneer has lifted off the surface or its being pushed. If the bubbles are hollow then they can be glued back down. If there are solid, ie. being pushed up because of swollen particle board, then there is very little that can be done. kind regards Simon
