@@kevinandersondesigns thank you, but I found a craftsman who is happy to take it. Thanks for these wonderful videos. Such amazing talent.

Restoration

haha, thanks man, there are definitely plenty of hack jobs out there. If it's worth doing gotta do it right !

So for frames I use Wiping Varnish from Sutherland Welles, and for my furniture I do two coats of hard sealer then spray two coats of U500 Floor finish from Sutherland Welles. They make the best wood finish in the game. A million times better than all of those 1 step hard wax oil finishes out there.

@@kevinandersondesigns thank u very much and nice work!

@@kevinandersondesigns ok I'll look into that. Thanks for the tip!

Thankyou ! So I left the corners out bc I had already shaped most of the corners by hand to compensate for how the legs splay in both directions. But I didn’t have a perfect reference face for the bearing guide to run against. I finished up all the edges with a rasp to get everything dialed in

Thankyou!

It's called a furniture maker bit, from American. They've got different sizes of the gentle radiuses. One of my favorite details!

Kevin Anderson Designs Thank you for the info! I really love that profile!

@@espionfurnitureco.6800 You bet man ! Ya it has been a game changer ! 10/10 would reccomend

Thanks Kyle! So you basically nailed it why I used the card scraper. The original finish was layers and layers of Wax, and then someone covered the whole thing in Arm N Seal. So I had this big waxy mess. I used mineral spirits to soften it up a little, and then found scraping off most of the wax to be the most efficient way. The rotex worked great after that ! I did tru to start sanding right off the bat, and even with 60 grit it clogged immediately. Thanks for watching ! and if you ever come up with a better way to strip wax pleaseeeeee let me know lol

Hey sorry man just saw this, Someone had put a bunch of arm N seal on it over the already wax finish. I tried stripping the wax with a bunch of different chemicals first, and even tried melting off with a heat gun, but nothing ended up working better than a card scraper. And yes you're right, the wax just immediately clogs up the sand paper! so unfortunately the card scraper it was !
