Dissolve the flakes in 1 hour by putting the jar in an ultrasonic cleaner.

Some one is selling one of these near me(110 v) .wants 250 for it with a Makita 110 transformer Says it looks brand new as only bought for a job and used for a few days Hence I'm here watching this review

Did you do the drawing? It would have been nice to see a close up of the teeth before and after sharpening and setting.And I would have liked to see the end of the piece of wood you cut to see if it is any smoother than my cheap saw, which is pretty bad.❤ Also what is the name and make of the teeth setting tool? I couldn’t catch it.

Didnt you get any newspaper print on the maple

If you grind the flakes down to a powder, you can get the shellac ready in a few minutes by shaking and mixing.

That noise at the very beginning of the video sounded like the start of the music in My Mate Vince videos. Same, exact sound.

Hey, I didn't hear you tell them not to stop at the end of each stroke or it'll stick. They have to make a slight circle at the end of each stroke. If you stop, it will fuse to the surface. Question: Can you crush the crystal to a powder with a mortar and pestle to dissolve them faster? I never tried that.

For people in the Americas, methylated spirits is just ethyl alcohol that's been poisoned with methyl alcohol so you can't make cocktails out of it. Then there's no liquor tax on it. It's called "Denatured Alcohol". Because Calif. banned denatured alcohol, it's now sold as Fuel or Heet. Heet would be in the auto stores. Not sure if the big stores have it or not.

Love your video ! Hello from Vancouver island !! I’m making a fly reel box and have a hinged lid . Of course I already put the box together but want to do a groove or edge along the top of lid so I can add some gilded paint for some contrast . Thank you ❤

What was the spray? And can you use isopropyl instead of meths? Thanks

Thank you kindly for the informational video. I am new to French polish. My question is- when making the pad for final buffing what exactly did you pad the t-shirt with? Fine 0000 steel wool or actual fabric wool? An clarification is greatly appreciated ❤

I glue in loose knots, or remake missing ones. I also use a small square of carpet tile to buff Briwax. Works a treat with minimal effort.

As a kid I always thought it was clear lacquer paint, and people were just dipping wood in paint back in the day. It looks so bad.

Thanks for the video. Thinking of trying this on a mahogany guitar too. I know you said it isn’t durable but I think it’s such a stunning finish that I want to give it a go. If you were doing it on mahogany, would you grain fill first?

Thanks for the video. Being my first time french polishing, I followed your process on an old table about to discarded. I was well pleased with the result. Again, thanks for posting.

thanks for this. i have been using boiled linseed oil but looking for something with more shine. i will put this on top

in your own opinion does adding linseed oil produce any major changes to the finish

Did you put a pad of steel wool inside the rubbing pad? I was a little confused as it seemed that you were discussing two types of cloth

3:11 Depending on the wood type, doing a final pass with 0000 wire wool (on bare wood) will cause rust spotting (leaves fine metal particles in wood). I do not use wire wool before the first coat of a finish. You can use a magnet to remove wire wool dust.

Your shellac is polluted with the solvent. denatured alcohol being purple is odd. Im american if thsts relevant. You cwn see the purple hue and it pollutes the color

Kia ora from down under here in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Great video, thank you for that. One question: Is it OK to use the blue coloured meths? Our stuff is purple down here. I presume it's coloured to discourage tippling.

Very interesting and informative video. Thanks very much - you have a very nice style of delivery. I had already bought some Rustin's French Polish solution so will try using that with the same technique you have outlined. Fingers crossed the outcome is positive! Please could you kindly clarify one thing. At about 6 mins 20 sec into the video you use some spray onto the wool ball before using it on the table. Is that just water you're spraying or some other constituent? Best wishes, David

I have the newer version of this grinder, which has been great. I agree with the observations you've made - great review.

Cool, the missing knot wouldn't have taken away anything from time in my opinion had you left it.. awesome job .

What type bit is in your router

Super effect, staying like👍👍👍

Very interesting video, thank you. You mentioned water marks can be a problem on French -polished surfaces. I learned a trick to remove rings caused by drinking glasses or tea cups from a piano restorer. Simply mix half a teaspoon of olive oil with the ash from a cigarette until you have a smooth paste. Rub this mixture on the ring for a few minutes with a soft cloth and the white marks will disappear.

Man it’s it’s take forever to sharp up one

Found it very difficult to understand what you were saying when you weren't facing the camera but could see what you were doing.

What oil do we use?

brilliant design.

That is a grading stone not for cleaning the stone, the water does this. For quick removal grade the stone to 220, then grade to 1000, also, you need to keep the chisel or plane iron moving or your stone will not stay flat, as per yours. You do need to put a micro bevel on at 30 degrees, this extends the sharpened edge. Read the instructions!

Very instructive video (and entertaining). Thank you.

For wood surfaces that are going to be used continuesly (fireplace mantel,tables etc i use bowling alley wax. Doesnt dent best maybe 10 coats. You can apply let sit for 10 minutes, buff with dry cloth repeat until desired effect. Must remember the oil seaps in the wood pores. Can apply over paint, wooden cabinets. Not as much sheen as french polish which is mainly applied to antiques that are for show only. The wax has a nice smell too compared to poly(I never use or lacquer. Polyurethan and lacquer finishes are for cheaper woods.

I use butchers bowling alley wax on wood surfaces that are going to have items resting on them like flower pots, mantel pieces etc. If you can drop a bowling ball on wax and not dent. Easy to apply. Can do 4 or 5 coats a hr. I never use poly, too thick,smelly and its used for cheaper woods.

How did the small piece of wood suddenly become a table top? Seriously though, what did you spray the pad with for the polish near the end?

Sorry, another one I remembered, when it gets sticky we had pre-made made beeswax and paraffin goop to de-sticky the work, thank you once again. (I just subscribed)

Awesome, I needed a reminder as its been 30 years since I last did this. There are 2 things I remembered that might help you that I was shown; 1, warm the wood on a windowsill or with a hair dryer before first coats. 2, apply first coat and immediately work the wood with fine wire wool (3 or 4 times). wipe down then brush in 3-4 coats and then do what you did. I cheat on gun stocks, I use Tru-Oil. Thank you for posting

Well Done! I love it! On burnings I have done in the past ( this is what I should have tried). I think the burning also makes the wood a bit harder also! Thank you for teaching me this method!

Great puzzle, I'm surprised at the lack of comments. Have you considered revising the video.?

Great design and build mate, you deserve tons more view for this excellent arcade table , man after my own heart 👍

I am a fan also

Hi! I've been having a problem of stickiness after my 4th layer of shellac applied with foam brush, and it's a stickyness that never dries. What could be the issue here? I'm using a one pound cut. Thanks.

What did you spray on the pad before the final polish? Thanks for the video!

A really useful video. How many hours of actual work would you say it took for that table?

Really useful

Hi! Great videos, thank you. I was wondering how you would tackle water marks - from overly enthusiastic mopping? I have a wooden fire surround with water staining around the bottom, I have no idea where to start with taking the finish off.

Finally, one where I don’t need a planner! 10/10

Use either tin snips or heavy duty scissors to cut the laminate , then finish the edge with a router .

You did not show clearly the process how you made dovetail
