How To Strip Furniture

A china cabinet gets stripped and painted this week in the shop.

Saved under "Professional Stripper" just to see if my wife searches my YouTube history.

Love that you are making everything reversible. Sign of a professional. I watch a paintings restorer (Baumgartner) and he also talks alot about people in the future being able to reverse the work he has done if new materials or techniques are developed. . . . You and your channel are awesome.

Another fine example of "the customer is always right even when they are wrong" like the beautiful job you did on the black painted table.

Anytime I see paint on a piece that wasn't originally painted, I cringe. I mean I actually get a shiver because I am such an old hippy! My love for nature touches everything I have done in my life, with few exceptions. When I have restored furniture with paint on it, paint never gets put back on unless the wood is buggered up by painting it in the first place. Nothing is prettier on a piece of furniture than the grain. I collect wooden statues with wood from around the world and the variety is astounding.

I am glad you replied to my plea to wearing a mask to protect your lungs from all the spray, sanding, and chemicals. Tom Johnson has a great channel too and as the old dog, he leads with the best action. Thanks for saying you are smartened up. I intend to watch and see. Teach by example. You have the body of work to show and it stands well but by not using protection, you are teaching a bad habit.

Nothing feels worse than old lungs damaged from years of not being protected. This is something everyone can avoid. Just imagine a fish gasping as it lay on the ground before you. This visualization will help remind you to wear the mask because that is what it looks like to die from lung cancer, emphysema, asthma, COPD, an allergic reaction, and many many more reasons but the most important one is regret. Regrets make you beat yourself up. Knowing you did this horrible thing to yourself is as bad as self-torture. You are worth more to yourself!

Beautiful, your dad taught you so well, he must be super proud of you xxx

There is absolutely NO substitute for preparation and attention to detail, the top coat is the final action, like many great constructions, there is an amazing amount of work underground, preparing to take the building. I am a retired constructor, carpenter but originally trained in classic car restoration, if it is good enough to then spray, believe me, it is prepared!!! .. I enjoy your videos. I am in Spain, Spanish Balearic Island .. Minorca. Keep up the Good work, and honouring your Father...

Patience, small sections, two strips, a short semi-stiff short bristle brush. Learned a lot. Thank you.

Love watching you repair furniture, I get so engrossed in all that you do.

Wow what a transformation! Great job! I hope the client appreciates all the perfect effort you have put into her piece.

Passing on your Dad’s and your experience! Thank you! You’re such a great resource. I am actually studying Furniture Finishing in Australia and this has been so helpful. 🇦🇺👴🏻

Again, just outstanding work. I know your channel is relatively new but you definitely deserve more subs and views than you have so far. I really hope your channel catches on and takes off.
Best wishes and keep up the great work!

You deserve many more views. I was a lecturer in a college. I'm a qualified upholsterer and was HOD in the School of Furniture. Particularly pleasing to see a woman as good as you are. X

[edwardmurray]

It looked like it made your job harder! The finished products is terrific. I am not a fan of changing colors on furniture, but the client is the client, and they pay the bills. I really enjoy your presentations; they are informative and easy to watch. Keep it going... We need some good stuff to watch now-a-days...

[lmgorbea]

You did a fantastic job! It’s sad the choice of door handles, but your paint job and the detailed explanations were wonderful.

[janetpersons]

You always do such a great job . You treat each piece as though they were your own .

[bridgbridg]

Your attention to detail 😍 very beautiful work and appreciate all the tips !

[enochpage]

Thanks for the quite detailed instructions! I'm sure others have said it, and you have addressed it, but please wear a mask. We need you to stick around to keep creating beauty in the world.

[kentshrader]

Another great job! Had my doubts about the color but it turned out really nice. Well done!!!

[stevencurran]

That looks a ton better than I was expecting. I’m not much of a fan of paint on wood but it looks great. Fine job.

[Isabel-belsai]

Thanks for the explanation on striping. I have always made a big mess when using it but I think next time will be better.
