How large a diameter of dowel did you use?

How would I do this with a large brass object like a pot. I can’t fit it in anything on my stove

Ridiculously expensive

Thanks so much for a great video and links!! I do a lot of restoration work for resale and have avoided pieces that were missing detail in the past. Following your steps and hopefully replacing the missing half of my buffet foot.

Super helpful information! Thanks so much!

What do you do when the screws AREN’T in the back and the handle prevents you from twisting the screws which appear to be in the front? Trying to keep from removing the very front piece of my dresser drawer front that appears to be nailed to the drawer frame. Never mind, seeing others asked 7 years ago with no answer.

What if I can't remove the hardware from the furniture so I can't put it in a hot pan?

Remove white rings from laminate countertop

Thanks for vdo. I am wondering if you can give me some advise. We have weather front door with a lot of sun weathered so part that not protect by storm door were dried. We used sunsheild from Howard and it does look better. However, we can’t bring the shine back like the other part where we polyurethane in the past. So any recommendation for product to use on top of sunsheild wax?

Excellent Advice, Thanks Very Much! I was wondering🤔Using your same vinegar technique- If Someone has arthritis, could you or anyone recommend a type of steel wool wheel that could be attached to a drill that would work just as well? Thanks👍😉🇨🇦

How about for larch brass items that can't be boiled?

I would call it a wavy front dresser.

Just a little FYI, don’t go back and forth when applying chemical stripper. Brush it on in one stroke, in one section , and move on to next area.

What a transformation! 👏👏👏

Every time I boil with 50/50 vinegar and water, I wind up left with a weird white residue showing up in the grooves after I’ve polished the piece! It seems to pretty much ruin it as it comes back when I wipe it off. Do you have any ideas? If so I’d appreciate it! Thanks :)

for whites spot from glasses I use medicinal alcohol on a napkin but don't dry it use liquid gas or even disel right after

I'm working on our dinning room chairs, all of them are lose from kids leaning back. Every single joint has 2 nails in it with very little glue...one chair wound up with 3 broken pieces. My wife started freaking out when she heard the cracks. She's like do you really have to take them all the way apart, you can't just smear a little glue in the space and squeeze it back. Never buying chairs from that company again....uggghhhh

No mention of a preconditioner? I have sanded down mine to the raw wood which I believe is birch. It should preconditioner be included in this process?

Wonderful Video! I have so much of this stuff and I've been trying to find people who will 3D print missing pieces, but it's soooooooo much more work to 3D print antique parts than it would be to do this! Thank you !!!

I used a hot cast iron pan in place of an iron and it came out perfectly 👌 😮❤

I actually do the very same method, only using epoxy for adhesive on both glue-ups. I've always felt that end-grain really needs the epoxy, although the CA is a good alternative!

I tested this out on a piece and it dried cloudy/foggy. I’m guessing this is due to humidity in Texas. Does this mean I need to wait until fall\winter to spray my piece? Is there an ideal humidity level % I can wait for? Thanks!

Iron method worked brilliantly on my oak coffee table, thanks very much

I always use wood ash on a moist sponge for water rings and it works every time . And thank you for this video

Have you ever applied Rubio Monocoat over the Champaign stain?

So if these discs aren't used to remove the dark finish - you say in the comments somewhere that you used a paint stripper to remove the finish and that these discs are not aggressive enough to do that - then what is the purpose of using the discs on the stripped carvings? Also would be nice if you would check your video and comments and reply to questions once in a while and not ignore it for years..............

Thank for the video. How would you clean a lamp. I cleaned it with brasso, and yes. I have the white everywhere in the creases, and now I am going to have a hard time getting into all the spaces with a toothbrush.

Here to give a tip with the rubber mallet for those afraid to damage their furniture: you can put a felt pad on your rubber mallet. It may take a bit more time, but you are almost guaranteed to preserve completely your furniture from some marks the mallet could have make.

Do you recommend hand sanding or using an orbital sander? Does an orbital sander create a smoother finish?

Do you not need to sand the piece before you start this process?

Makes sense and just what I needed. Thanks.

Great info Thanks

Please don't rub steel wool on a finish in a circular motion!🥲

The iron method worked really good on the white water mark on our dresser.

I have a question about this. After this is finished, does the oils leave the surface feeling greasy? Is it safe to lay doilies and other cloths on without their picking up the stains in the wax, oil residues, etc. ?

Thank you so much @werefinish ! Does this work to remove stain as well?

Do you use a top coat? And how often would you have to reaax it since wax wears off?

The No Blush worked so well! I have a teak dining table and it got a water ring on it a few days ago. I tried the iron trick and that didn't seem to make it any lighter. But in seconds the No Blush took the whitish ring out.

Worked great! Thanks

WOW BEAUTIFUL !!!!!

What is the brand name of the glue thank

Distilled vinegar to the rescue again. Every time I look up how to clean something the answer is always distilled vinegar!

We used hand sanitizer, which made the water stain mostly disappear. We squirted it directly on the water stain, and rubbed it in with a microfiber cloth. We followed that with Pledge spray, also rubbed in with a microfiber cloth, and that took care of the (now just barely visible) stain. So...maybe another technique to try?

Plan on doing mohawk satin for a wfh desk. Recommend anything after the final coat? Polish? Steel wool? Buffing compound?

It works! My table looks brand new 😍

The hot glue gun trick worked great! I have an old kitchen chair in which the bottom of one of the legs is really beat up to the point where it couldn't take a nail in slider. Tried the glue gun and problem solved! Thanks!

Great video! Thank you so much!❤

Great video! Did you strip this piece first or was it raw wood to begin with?

so do I just add the transtint directly in the oil based lacquer? you need to explain. otherwise this video is look at all my dyes.

Thanks for posting. I have a coffee table that I had refinished but found out after I brought it back home that when it was catching the sunlight it was developing these light marks across the table top. I will try the iron or mohawk to see if that helps remove them, but wondering - will this keep happening as long as the table is in a sunny room? And if so, is there anything I can do to 'seal' the table top? Thanks again - super helpful and hopefully saving me a lot of trial and error with miscellaneous methods.
