Sorry, I hadn’t realized he had passed, his teachings live on, I’ve followed his directions and my table that is over 200 years old came out beautifully, thank you!
Oh gosh I was writing for him a comment 😢😢😢 he is in a very better place now . I pray he meets my dad in heaven, who just left me for one months ago. It’s so painful 😭
1) Use paint stripper, with natural bristle disposable brush 2) Use putty knife (rounded corners) & scrape off old finish into box 3) Medium coarse steel wool removes finish from rounded edge 4) Liquid stripper applied liberally with a brush 5) Medium/fine steel wool with long straight passes 6) Use a lacquer thinner brushed on 7) Use fine steel wool for final cleaning 8) Sanding (used finishing sander with 220 grit sandpaper) 9) Apply stain of choice with rag or brush (brush preferred) applied in the direction of grain 10) Wipe off excess with rag. Let dry for 24 hours 11) For top coat, use Polyurethane semi-gloss (stir before using) 12) Wipe table before applying 13) Use natural bristle brush to apply (high quality brush is best) 14) Apply 3 coats & sand lightly in between 15) Apply paste finishing wax with pad of 0000 steel wool
I'm confused because at the 6:34 minute mark, he said he was using a semi-gloss polyurethane and then at 7:24 he said he's using a satin finish polyurethane. Which one do you suppose is accurate?
For anyone on the fence about following this, I HIGHLY recommend it. I did my 20+ yr old table that my dad had made and I was so afraid to mess it up, but I followed this exactly and it looks brand new, with a nice hard finish! It looks almost better than the day it was brought in the house the first time ❤ so thank you so much for the detailed steps!
The first guys of home improvements. Ron and Bob Villa. I use to watch these shows when I was in my twenties. I am almost 60 now! I need to finish some new pieces for my new house. This was the only video that gave me start to finish the correct way to complete this project. Thanks. Love you guys!
I was curious about the prices. I was thinking that it could be cheaper to buy a used table in good condition than buy all materials needed for the job
That’s the best price to get antiques for. And surprisingly, many of those freebies end up coming out gorgeous with a little repair first and then patience during the refinishing procedure!
Whats funny to me is that i needed to refinish a table my mom just picked up today, hence doing a little more research (i have wood working experience but never had to refinish anything) and the table in this video is almost exactly the same as the table she got from an old friend today. The design (minus a few little details) is the same. This was the first video i clicked on too. Thats the best coincidence since i can follow the video exactly.
When Ron says sand lightly, sand lightly-Just enough to get the rogue bubbles out. (220 grit). Also I used the Paste Finishing Wax (Natural color), I haven’t used it before but will from now on. The shine doesn’t fade, it just gets better! Thanks Mr. Ron!!! My table looks great!
Yes I wish he had footage/details of that. I find sanding between clear coats (on wood or car paint) to be by far the most nerve-wracking proposition. You have so much material and time in by then, it would be a travesty to eff it all up on that step.
that's my exact dining room table - from Oak Express circa 1998. I still love it. While not in as bad shape as this one was, I need to refinish it too. What a perfect tutorial for my specific needs!
That table looks so beautiful!! I've never refinished furniture before, but I've been needing to do my other dining room table. That's what lead me to this video. I wrote everything down on paper, and going to try my very best to follow his directions through the whole process! I know my first time won't be perfect, but it will be fun to do it!!. Thank you for this great video!!
Thanks for the great instructional video. I am going to refinish an oak antique kitchen table. Off to pick up some paint remover, check stain colours and some polyurethane. What a craftsman!
Nicely done very professional obviously you do this a lot. I’ve watched other videos and it’s mostly DYI nonprofessionals. Learned a lot and I appreciate it. I’m ready to conquer my project. Thanks. Silly but funny ending.😊
Even though this video is old, I still wanted to leave a comment. You did a good job describing and explaining everything in a clear, concise manner, totally absent of unnecessary and self-serving commentary. Well done. I do, however, have to say that I instantly heard the (trombone?) tune that "The Price Is Right" uses when a contestant fails at the delivery of your punchline at the end lol.
Wonderful video, well made and informative. I'm going to be redoing my grandparents 30+ year old oak table that I inherited. Wish me luck! You definitely earned a subscriber for this 😊
Your videos are great. The only thing I would expect is the description of materials used in a little more detail so that I know what exactly you are using.
I have a dinning room table and want to repaint it I want an easy fast way to do myself I want it to match a server I have but don’t know color can you help me with items need to paint table? By the way would you know how to put a height table and chairs to standard size. Can’t buy new but maybe it’s cheaper buying a new one?
Ron great wood finishing your doing I have a need for some guidance I have a oak kitchen table 16 ft long theone end of thinner table is exposed to the sunlite thru a window the finish keeps breaking down if I just leave a paper towel laying on the surface it sticks fast and leaves particles sticking tables is 15 yrs old what can I cover it with that gives me a hard finish that wont break down. ??
🏡 Ron, You make all of us feel capable and so proud to have such a talented wood craftsman and someone who can actually " tell us the products we need to get the wood finish we want ". Your videos & audios are perfection. Don' you just love what Special Walnut by minwax can do blended with other stains ? Also , Thank You for your special instructions about eg: using seperate containers instead of " dipping in & out of the can" , proper brushes ,
The grainy video and cheese if fun sound effects had me thinking this was from the early 2000's. Then I saw the amazon box and was like "what?" and was SO SUPRISED to see that this video was posted in 2020 lol
what a wholesome dude

3) Medium coarse steel wool removes finish from rounded edge
4) Liquid stripper applied liberally with a brush

6) Use a lacquer thinner brushed on
7) Use fine steel wool for final cleaning

@@rachelh5211 looked like he ended up using a satin finish 👍
can’t u just start with sander??
I DIDN'T KNOW RON HAD PASSED AWAY, SORRY FOR THE LOSS VERY TALENTED MAN LIKED BY EVERYONE, RIP
Oh my goodness I didn't know

That spilled milk bit at the end was gold!
I don't know if you wear glasses but the spilled milk at the end was white...NOT gold.
😅 I guess I was looking at the table behind the milk!
@@alexandertorro He wasn't talking about the color.
@josephmusembi4391
I guess the concept of sarcasm escapes you.
You shouldn't be so gullable, McFly!
@@alexandertorro * gullible
I like the little banjo diddly for the paint stripper being poured at 1:20
Really triggered all the mandolinists in the world with this comment
@@ahern112 I am a triggered mandolinist right now! haha
I loved it too, kept replaying it lol. It seemed so in your face
Thanks for this video. I replayed every step as I was working on my table. I love the results. New dining set for under $100.
I was curious about the prices. I was thinking that it could be cheaper to buy a used table in good condition than buy all materials needed for the job
GET TF OUT that's unheard of
I did exactly what you said, omg thanks it was so easy, found a real wood dining table in my alley, yesterday's trash is now my prize treasure!
that's amazing! I can't believe the quality of things that people just throw away sometimes!
Trash is Cash LoL.
That’s the best price to get antiques for. And surprisingly, many of those freebies end up coming out gorgeous with a little repair first and then patience during the refinishing procedure!
Go Crystal. You ma the old saying, one man's trash is another one's treasure and you found a treasure. 😉
Just refinished my great-grandma’s table thanks to this video. Much appreciated Ron!

Thanks Mr. Ron!!! My table looks great!
Can you manually sand it?
Yes I wish he had footage/details of that. I find sanding between clear coats (on wood or car paint) to be by far the most nerve-wracking proposition. You have so much material and time in by then, it would be a travesty to eff it all up on that step.
@@roddydykes7053what grit sandpaper between layers of poly? 800?
My first time undertaking a refinishing project was a table similar to this. Thanks to this clear presentation it was a success!
Mixing stains like you would paint shades seems so obvious, but I never thought of it. Nice!
Those little riffs between scenes really give me the good vibes
that's my exact dining room table - from Oak Express circa 1998. I still love it. While not in as bad shape as this one was, I need to refinish it too. What a perfect tutorial for my specific needs!
You blow my mind Ron, that top turned out beautiful, oak is such a nice wood to work on, and that finish was exquisite. Thank you!
You really have a gift for explaining. Thank you for such an amazing video.
That table looks so beautiful!!

Thank you very much for your easy to follow instructions. We refinished our oak dinning table and came out beautifully. God bless you.
Old oak table here, looking fairly old with cup marks etc, time to follow your excellent guide and having it looking like new again
Good work 👏👏
I wish Ron was my neighbor😅🙏🏻 beautiful job!
he passed away this april
@@higherpower254 Awww. That is terrible news. He must be missed🙏🏻
Great step by step especially the part matching the original color. Thank you!
This is exactly what my table needs! Thank you! I'm going to try my best!
Did you get a chance to refinish your table?.
I'm curious, how did it turn out for you?.
I can imagine it looks amazing!!
Great video! Any chance of a product list being made available?
Absolutely Beautiful 😍
Learned something new, never used the wax paste ...
I need to do this to my coffee table so bad! Thank you!
this is so wholesome
Nicely done! Good discussion of the process and choices. Thanks!
That was so satisfying to watch. The paint removal part was like visual ASMR:)
Love the trousers
It is a complete luxury experience to watch this video on my sofa with a cup of hot tea in 2021.

Thanks Ron now I want a gigantic plate of fresh brownies 🍫🍰🤤😄💕👍
I love the style of this video
Best ever Demo.
RIP RON.
Your legacy of expertise lives on .
Great video, I wish I could hire someone to do this.
Always a great time watching Ron. Thanks for the video, keep it up👍
Hi Ron , wow that was a really nice job that you did on refinishing that table !!! 👍😊
Purdy Brushes are the best!!!
Ron did the work. Oliver stole the show haha. Great job sir.
Oh my! I’m over awed. But it’s so much work
Great video very nice shop! Thank you for making this!!
Wonderful video, well made and informative. I'm going to be redoing my grandparents 30+ year old oak table that I inherited. Wish me luck! You definitely earned a subscriber for this 😊

Well that's a five star video I really liked it thank you
Feel like I can smell this video, and it smells great
Yeah me too. I think its his aftershave. Smells very manly
@@youremybiggestfan 😂😂
thanks for the video! Followed your tutorial for my table and it came out great
Thanks for sharing, Ron!!!
10/10 Ron. Really exceptional.
Great video! Love the detailed explanations.
Ron I really liked the video especially dulling the edges of the putty knife. Shows your mastery
Beautiful. Great instructions. Maybe I’ll attempt to do my kitchen table. It looks terrible.
Such beautiful work
Exactly what I needed to see to restore my table in exactly the same condition.
Dad joke at the end was spectacular 🤣🤣
Excellent! Just what we were looking for!!
thumbs up for the spilled milk line
Love your video. I can tell your love for the work
Beautiful work
Good wholesome video

Ohhh you've done a lovely job on that
Creamed and buffed with a fine shammy
I loved this so much!!!!
The spilled milk 😫😂 This was the first time I laughed at a bad joke. The ending got me

Thanks!
thanks. ill be doing this in the next few weeks.
Ive always loved Ron!
I never cry over spilled milk... It could have been a beer!
All you videos are over tge top Ron. The spilled milk was an Academy Award moment. Lol
I have the same exact table that needs stripping, sanding and revarnishing
Very, very nice job, I have to do this to our kitchen table, you make it look so easy!
Well done thanks
Thank you so much
Beautiful. Wish I were so talented.
🏡 Ron,
You make all of us feel capable and so proud to have such a talented wood craftsman and someone who can actually " tell us the products we need to get the wood finish we want ". Your videos & audios are perfection.
Don' you just love what Special Walnut by minwax can do blended with other stains ?
Also , Thank You for your special instructions about eg: using seperate containers instead of
" dipping in & out of the can" , proper brushes ,
Your a Great Instructor .1 last question Sir . How long did it take actually ) minus cams , setups and all ) ?
Awesome
Superb
I have the exact same dilemma. Only, I live in a retirement community and there's no one who will make my table beautiful again.
What were the two removers that you used?
Thank you.
Super video. ❤
Outstanding work as always.
The grainy video and cheese if fun sound effects had me thinking this was from the early 2000's. Then I saw the amazon box and was like "what?" and was SO SUPRISED to see that this video was posted in 2020 lol
A
Not sure what you’re talking about. It looked fine to me.
I was so confused when I saw he was using an Amazon box to wipe the scrapper off on 😂
Lmfao there's no way this video isn't from back then 😆
Amazon has been around since 1994.
Nice job👍
Superb! Thank you.
Cozy! I´d like that Brownie recipe!
Wow!!
Ron, u r the master! 👍
Thank you
That was awesome nice job
@Ron Hazelton could you provide a list of the materials you used in the video please?
