DIY TABLE TOP REFINISHING

#DIY #woodworkingproject #tablertoprefinishing

This video shows you how to give your old, beat up table a new lease on life. Make it look brand new!
Part of the fun in doing this project was learning what kind of wood we had. Watch and see how that changed our finishing choices.

3:51 this part right here is very important for newbies. I bet I speak for all of us when I say thank you for mentioning it. It’s like if the wood speaks to you

Hi! This is the video that gave me the courage to do this.

Someone threw out an old dining table and chair to the garbage and my son and I ran to get it! It was wobbly and dirty, but otherwise in great condition.

I’ve purchased my palm sander and sandpaper, Behr stain and sealant in one, brushes, and paint cup. Need goggles and gloves. We started yesterday. The finish on the table was already coming off and is thin. Thanks for your instruction!!

This is a great video to motivate people, and take the black art out of re finishing. Personally I think anything that gets people working with their hands is a good thing! Great job!

I'm definitely redoing my dining table that has gotten worn on top. Thank you!

Thank you for the video. I have been watching dozens of videos and yours is the best. I have been afraid to sand "too much", but you make me more comfortable to get it down to the bare wood. Hopefully it doesn't take 3 hours:) but feeling more confident I can do this correctly. Thank you!

Wes. You're the best! Thank you. Love your work and your lessons. Keep up the education effort on the craft. You're a master.

Why not use an electric sander? I started with 100 grit. My intention is to use 150 grit and 300 next, not sure at this point. I will not sand the sides with the 100, it seems too much. This is my first project.
I learned from you what to do next. Not sure though whether to use a lacquer, a varnish or whatever else is available. Thanks for teaching us to use a staining sponge and a paper towel to apply the stain.
Great work 👍

I love that you talked about the tabletop being different wood then the edges because I just sanded down a thrift dining room table and it’s veneer but different wood on top then on the sides and I’ve never seen anyone go into detail about how to get away with it all looking the same with stain so thank you ! I’m a new subscriber

Wonderful video and extremely helpful in giving me the courage to refinish my dining room table! Can’t wait to start now.

Just found your channel. I was searching for a video just like this to help with a table we recently purchased (used, scratched, and some heat marks). Now I'm on Amazon looking for a palm sander, so thank you!

[Jer_Z_City]

I can’t believe how amazing the table turned out! Wow. Great job, sir.

thank you for saving tables from being painted.I cant wait to make my table look like new. I loaned it to someone, and they returned it with a long nail scratch across the top.

Thank you! I have been wanting to restore my dining room table. My table is not that old (purchased in 2009) but has been destroyed by my children. We have paint on it, nail polish on it....even sharpie marker on it. I am going to get the supplies and see if I can breath some life into the table. Thank you!

That looks SOOOO nice! A before and after side-by-side view would show such a difference! I have a white Pottery Barn dining table and its finish is really bad. It's stick and pretty much absorbs the color of any article put onto it for more than a few hours. My wife wants to toss the table but it was $1200 and the structure and hardware is perfectly fine - I just need to re-finish it. Thanks for the video. I have a little more homework to do, but I think I'll use stripper and then sand it and then re-paint. Hopefully it works.

Thank you for this video, I have a small project like this to Starr and I'm not sure how and where so thank you for your video

This table looks so much better and absolutely beautiful. I thought I was not a fan of wood grain until seeing this table, now I wish I'd bought wood with a wood grain.

[JoeBrannin]
