Safe, Easy, and Cheap Way to Remove Finish on Furniture
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июн 2024
- A friend new to woodworking contacted me about her first big project. She wanted to repurpose a vanity. But first the rough finish needed to be taken back to raw wood so she could stain it to match the rest of the furniture in her house. The sanding requirements of such work are usually underestimated. I told her I normally scrape the large surfaces first to speed this process up. This removes the majority of the finish and you'll only need to tackle moldings and embellishments. That way you can skip all the coarse grits plus all the sawdust and time generated and consumed. This video was me showing her a simple way to scrape the surface. It's not the most refined way nor the absolute best. But it is easy, effective and approachable to new woodworkers refinishing their first piece of furniture.

This is the best and clearest video I've seen on how to get a card scraper ready to use.
This could be named "scraping for dummies" 😂. You just made it quick, Simple and easy. Great Job. This deserves 👍👍👍. Thanks
So glad I watched this video. No fancy jigs needed?.... Simple, straight forward and well explained.. thanks for this one.
Thanks Shawn, I like this simpler card scraper approach than others that seem to really over complicated it with similar results
Thanks for the lesson on card scrapers Shawn.
You had me at "save hours of sanding"
I like how you use technical terms like "smooch".
Great video. Always nice to learn new things. Keep up the amazing work. 👽
I love to sand wood (said no one ever!) I now understand scrapers better than I did before. Will be trying this out in the near future.
Wonderful info to know. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.
I'm a new subscriber and I have to say, I really appreciate your style, your delivery, and your knowledge. Thanks for making your videos and sharing your skills and knowledge.
Thank you Shawn for your sharp explanations
Very helpful! Great channel!
Keep it simply. Because it works! Thanks for sharing
Very nice one, thanks!
Awesome as always. Thanks for the great tips, tricks and ideas.
Good video. Thank you.
Thanks great tutorial.
Perfect timing, I have some very old furniture in particular a traditional bench that I have to restore and I was stuck on how to start, I have done many builds but never restored anything old. And getting around even a tiny bit of dust is always great. Been wanting to buy a scraper for a while, will be picking one up ASAP.
Thanks!!! Card scraper is an essential tool in my tool arsenal
Thank you !
Another fantastic video, as always. Plenty of great tips and tricks. I have been considering buying a card scraper for a while, you may have convinced me to make the purchase. Keep up the great work.
They're only the price of a few sheets of sand paper.
Thank you! As always, your vids are as much fun as they are informative -- I didn't know I needed to sharpen my card-scraper: I thought I just wasn't using it correctly!
next week how to finish your workbench!😄
Nice.
Everybody needs to know this! And there should be a law against painting stain-grade wood.
Paint is a good finish that will last a very long time. Outdoor furniture in particular will last longest with paint as a finish. Granted it is not to my taste either, but paint is a fantastic finish if one truly thinks about it. Milk paint will still let the grain show btw.
Great video! I just stripped a mid-century hallway bench and posted a video. Love giving old furniture new lifw 🙏🏻
I watch the has some very solid knowledge I recently a pen from pennstate industries I live in the cascade range of Oregon I have turned about pens and pencils I have turned some green pacific Yew that chipped out and some well seasoned Yew that is cracking does dies anyone have any experience with turning Yew and avoiding chip outs and or cracking.
Thanks for the lesson. I have an old phone that could use scraping, and my grandson says he's ready.
I've only watched 20 seconds of the video, but the word you're looking for is vanity. We just don't make them anymore. Bathroom sink took that spot I guess.
👍
I have an old Maple dinning table and chairs. Can it be sand blasted instead of chemical, sanding or scraping?
from experience using sandblasting in woodturning as a texturing tool I'd think you'd destroy your pieces.
Could you use a kitchen knife steel as a burnisher?
No, it's not the same tool. You need something smooth.
@@wortheffort OK... thank you! I suspected there was something different about it that worked better, but it's always good to have that confirmation.
volume is still too low. I've got mine on MAX
Tell her to get a Bahco pull scrapper. They are much easier to use and freak out hand tool fixated old men.
That's a carbide scraper with a handle. I've used them. Not as effective. They don't utilize a burr to cut. Most use them in conjunction with chemicals.
@wortheffort no, it's not! It's exactly the same card shape and burr, no chemicals. Equally or more effective because your thumbs don't die. I know it's impossible to believe.
