I am refinishing a teak dining table. It is a bit rustic by nature (i.e., the top isn't very flat by design).
Here is the before picture:

After sanding and a bit of hand planing to hit...
So I ended up getting ProClassic.
I've now built up enough coats and it looks good, except the final layer still has some dust nibs and isn't super smooth to the touch. If this was the final clear...
Ahh. well cracking doesn't sound great, and the softness explains why it didn;t hold up in the first place. sigh.
any chance sanding it flat and then using a spray paint (ACE? rustoleum?) etc....
The paint is this:

I painted this desk top white (acrylic latex paint), sanding between coats. I rolled on 3 layers but wasn't happy with the resulting texture so sanded and sprayed on a final coat of (water based)...
thanks jim.
my big box store has an exterior grade spar urethane (Varathane brand) that is oil based. is that a good place to start?
I made a simple basketball backboard for my kids out of some maple plywood.
I spray painted it white and red and now I want to put some sort of protective top coat on it as it will be outdoors and...
Thanks all.
The holes only had a little bit of wiggle room but not enough. I didn't have a round file on hand, and don't think I'll miss the capacity so I shifted the base about 3/4" in and...
oh michael where was this post 5 days ago! I had a helluva time trying to get the pin out after driving it in 3/4 of the way only to discover that I needed to rotate the handle 180. managed to get...
It’s my first time mounting a front vise,
Screwed it all in, after measuring twice,
Now the jaws close, but not very nice,
So before I it up more, I seek your advice.
What do I do? My vise is...
Thanks. That’s what I was thinking but wasn’t sure. No set of pin punches (ordering now), but a river worked great:

There is also this hole on the vise bottom but I don’t see a set screw or anything at the end of the hole...

I have a yost (shop Fox) 10” front vise that I want to paint.
Im not sure if you can disassemble this further.
Looks like a metal tube with a slit on the side on the inside of this hole.
Any...
I'm setting up shop in my garage. I have a cordless trim router that generates a lot of dust, a cordless circular saw I use only some of the time, a ROS sander, and the rest of the time I'm using...
thanks steve.
Just to be clear when you say wet sand you mean by applying the finish and sanding it all together right?
Any tips on how much finish? Do you completely cover the surface as if you...
What about the dust from the sanding? It just mixes in with the finish and will still turn out smooth?
Hi,
I have a birch butcher block counter top I got from lowes.
I sanded it down to 220 before applying some Watco Butcher Block Oil & Finish.
Instructions were to apply a coat with a soft clean...
so what is the first cut? freehand on the bandsaw right through the center?
I'm lucky enough to have a friend who trimmed his koa trees. He has a bunch of smaller cuts that I can help myself to; 4-7" in diameter, 2-5' feet in length.
About 2 weeks after they were trimmed I...
Thanks all. I was trying to think why it split and it might have been when I was levering the chisel to help eject the waste, if my chisel was slightly twiseted and I had too much wood behind it,...
if you're willing to put in the work, you can use sandpaper and a flat surface (granite or glass).
I did this with a recent restoration, but it was many many hours. To actually get anywhere, you...
I'm working with red oak.
I only have stanley sw 750 bevel edge chisels. Chisels are sharp, er, at least as sharp as I can get them with my current skill level of sharpening (honing guide,...
Thanks everyone for the advice.
I decided to try and get it back to raw wood before staining it again.
I used a combination of stripper (JASCO varnish and stain remover) and then sanding with...
Glenn: ahh. the previous stain acting as sealer makes sense.
John: can you recommend a chemical stripper? Also why do you suggest painting? If I sand everything down to the bare wood, presumably...
