Finally someone who's not painting over beautiful wood cabinets.Thanks.
My Grandparents house, RIP. The New Owners Took all the Glass Knobs Hardware off, replaced with cheap plated brass hardware. Then they Painted the Solid Maple Doors, my Grandfather Finished them himself around 1947, and refinished the Varnish over the years. The Varnish was as smooth as glass. There were no Stains Scratches or Chips in the Wood. Makes me sick what they did.
I get paid good money to paint stained cabinets. Usually do a specialty finish over the paint. Looks way better in older homes with too much stained wood. I also do his style of finish also. Never do I use stain and poly.NEVER. It just looks really cheap. After using gell stain,I will spray poly over it.
We are getting ready to remodel our kitchen and want to keep the wood cabinet faces out neighbor made 30+years ago. It doesn't appear that ours have been sealed at all. I'm thinking of just using re-store on them, than some wax made for them. I'll probably do it this way when we remodel our bathroom.
Amen.
I called a licensed painting contractor to get a quote on refurbishing some custom cabinets in our home and some wood flooring. 20 years earlier I had paid $5,000 to a licensed contractor to do the same. This time a salesperson came out who had no knowledge, took pictures with their macbook and then emailed a quote of $24,500.
RUclips saved me with videos like this one. Especially helpful were Ron's suggestions on replacing the hardware with new hardware and not shaking the can but stirring instead to avoid air bubbles.
Thanks, Ron!
I SERIOUSLY appreciate how TO THE POINT this video is. Thank you for sharing. You've given me the confidence to tackle my project.👍
Yes very to the point. Can't wait to start my cabinet staining!
Here, here! I actually believe I can do this; instead of watching 20 minutes of someone else make mistakes, and confusing dialogue of every single thought they have😅
I always watch old people for projects like this. They know how to do it right and easy. Thank you
hes not old!
🥰Good Wisdom! Lol The older you get, the older “older” gets! Enjoy your youth, but prepare and expect to enjoy your “older” too!😄
Smh.... That was a backhanded.
Yes fossils do pack knowledge.
That was rude saying a mature knowledgeable adult is old!
The sequence of events is spot on. Two that are not used by most "flippers" are washing off with a solvent prior to sanding to remove if only some wax and cooking grease. The second is when painting multi layer doors including entry doors is to paint from the inside out saving the horizontals and then the vertical elements for last. The product used is an alkyd and a natural bristle brush is more suitable than a synthetic bristle. Natural bristle brushes should be considered needing pre washing and drying in paint thinner before any painting or clearcoating is done.Working out of paint cans is counterproductive. Transferring the "paint" to a container larger than the volume of paint allows one to see if the "paint" has been completely mixed with no traces of pigment, filler or flattning agents left in the can. A great 5:19 lesson from a pro.. Yep, we can tell...just by the way the sandpaper was folded.
I may actually use this technique in the future. I like how to video wasn't 45 minute. Purely information on the most basic level
Another way to stir is with a bent wire coat hanger. Straight into a drill then bent at the bottom into a whisk form. It stirs the bottom into the body and doesn't introduce bubbles into the mix. You can stir fast or slow - your preference. By raising and lowering it, you blend the whole thing - or put bends into a length that fits the can and then blend the whole thing together.
I use this to blend/mix my stains and paints.
You're the only video I found that solve the missing color scenario. I love the appropriation of stain markers to fill in the bare wood areas. Good job on the video, thank you.
This video is so informative, motivating, and helpful. I haven’t seen a great tutorial like this in a minute. Thank you.
Thank you, this video was very helpful, and short and to the point!!! Can't wait to do my cabinets🙂
As much as I enjoyed the original score for this video, I also learned something too! Thanks for your handy tips.
Thank u so much. This video gave me courage to do something I never done before and my bathroom cabinets look amazing. Thanks again!!
This video was SO helpful! I have never restained cabinets before, but I watched this video, bought exactly the supplies Ron said to buy, and followed his steps exactly. They turned out amazing! I love how he explains things very thoroughly and understandably even if you have no knowledge coming in.
Never have either, wish me luck.
@@Laffy1345 I'm about to do that
Can you please mention what products you bought
I’m curious do you have pic? And what colors did you go with ?
Hi ali what color stain did use use, I rent so have to stick with something close to the ugly oak.. he stained with something a bit darker than I can go with...thanks
This video was so informative and encouraging. I have complete confidence that I can do this. Thank you!
Great video Ron! You saved me hours of work on my beautiful wood cabinets. I love your no nonsense approach as well!
Kept searching for a video tutorial like this and took me a while. Thank you for putting this video up. I have two upper cabinets that I secured together to form a moveable island and wanted to stain them a darker color. Now I know how!!!!!
Great lesson Ron! As an "older" woodworker, saving steps is always appreciated....especially from one of your knowledge and talent we can trust. Thank you!
First time coming across this video in May of 2024!! I have searched many RUclips videos on how to update my kitchen cabinets doing the job myself. Mist of what is see on RUclips is painting over your wood cabinets. Nothing wrong with that, but it’s not what I was looking for. I want to keep the look of varnish wood but a little deeper color. Your video was perfect! Just what I was looking for! Thank you ❤🙏🏽 😊
Wow! I’m so glad that I stumbled across this video. You answered all the questions I had. Cant wait to start on mine!
Just did my first staining project. Small bathroom cabinet. Wow. It looks great now. Thanks for making this easy to watch video. Def saved $$ too
EXCELLENT job!
Thank you for the simple, to the point tutorial❣️
Absolutely beautiful! I'm going to do this with our dining room table and chairs! Wish me luck!
This video has helped me refresh soooo many things in my home (kitchen cupboards, baseboards, etc.). Thank you so much for a great video!!
Excellent video with attention to details and to the point. Thank you for sharing.
GREAT WORK! BEAUTIFUL CABINETS! VERY HELPFUL VIDEO!
just updating my kitchen cupboards wow they look amazing. thanks for your tips :)
Usually when I look at a how to video on RUclips I have to look at several to get to what I need to know. I've been painting since I was 19 and I'm now 61. And this is a technique I have never done but I have to bid a job today. So thanks to you not only do I know what to do I know how to bid the job. Plus I don't have to look at for more videos to get her done. You got to love RUclips thank you for the good advice
I love how clear this was! I greatly appreciate it, thanks so much!
Wow! What a great video! Very detailed and clean!
Excellent video refreshingly from an expert and not a self centred influencer waffling on with semi accurate info. Loved the matching colour touch up demo
You are awesome 👍 Ron !!! ...I am tuning in to your videos so I can live a better life 😎👍...You have made my day.
Great instructional video! Thanks Ron!
I can't wait to try this. It actually looks like something I can do. Thanks for sharing

Blue Vireo
So helpful.
Helpful. Thank you.
THANK YOU, GOOD ADVICESES, I AM GOING TO TRY IT THIS I HOPE WILL HELP ME BECAUSE I DO NOT PAINT EVER A WOOD KITCHEN CABINET. I HAVE A QUESTION IF I WANT TO PAIN BUT IN A FORMICA CAN BE DONE. AND HOW ? 😊 🙏
.
Thank you so much for such clear, detailed verbal instructions and demonstration.
Thank you so much for making the effort and taking the time to teach us how to do this❣️ Your cabinets look great! I am excited and hopeful of trying this technique! Our cupboard doors look to be some kind of real wood, but the wood veneer on the actual cupboard cabinets is a faux wood finish; can I still use this technique on the faux wood veneer on our rv cabinets?
If not, what would you suggest? Thank you for your help!😊🥰
Full time rv’ing and lovin’ it!
Hot cakes, this is a winner! THANKS you can teach me anything. Quality instructions. I found out that style brushing the hard way but it makes you look like a pro.
Thanks for the tips. Great job!!
Thank you , so much for sharing Sir
I like your video a lot I’ll follow your introduction and do my project
My wood cabinet like yours.
Good job! 👍
That was great!! Thanks so much!!
Wish I had seen this before I completely sanded my bathroom cabinets down to the clean white oak surface and refinished with stain and polyethylene.
Also use caution when updating the hinges. I removed the old antique brass hinges and replaced with the same kind of oil rubbed bronze hinges. Even though they looked the same, they are different. The screw holes do not line up. I just screwed into another place on the door, but had to drill out the old holes on the cabinets and plug them with dowels before realigning and reinstalling the doors.
I am going to use the same hinges and just clean them thoroughly. The old ones are made really well compared to the new ones. Also, why waste good hinges when I use reuse the old ones. Also, it will be easier just to put them back.
You were better off with that method, trust me. You dodged a bullet.
O.M.G.! Wowza, thank you so much. Loved how to-the-point this video is. Much appreciated
Thank you for the great tips, trying to go from dark color cabinets to light color cabinets
Wow! This is going to save me a lot of money! Huge Thank YOU!
Amazing video! I was trying to figure how to do what you just did in this video so thank you
thank you for posting this video. it helped me pick Natural Cherry Satin as the stain!
Is that the color of the finished product in this video?
This is great. Very do-able. I am going to try it.
I'm so well educated now!!! Thanks!! I'm doing it to my apartment cabinet
i liked how he made refinishing so easy to do.thanks you
The tip about folding abrasive paper into 3 is actually more useful than you would imagine, whether you tear your paper into halfs or quarters isn't the point,the point is you have 3 faces,6 edges and the folding it back on its self means it holds it self together, if just folded in half it just slips...as told to me by my tutor in college on the first day....40 years ago.
Thank you. An excellent presentation. Just Subscribed.
Perfect - easy to do after watching this video-
And of course, make my life happy 😃 because
Happy wife, Happy life 👍 thank you for your guidance and video
Thanks buddy. This exact method will work for my "little red kitchen".
Beautiful work
Amazing work
Great job and very teachable video
Great and simple video.
Great advice! Thank you!
One of the things I was really looking for was doing both sides. In my previous projects I have found that the stain/finish application always accumulates where you can't see it from the top until you turn it over. Then it's a chore to get rid of the excess and still make it look good. I'm guessing you rest the door on something smaller then the door to raise it so that you have access to that excess.
I've had that happen to me as well. What I found best is to place a gallon paint can, or something a bit taller, under the item so that as I do each edge I can gently wipe away any finish that may have run under the edge. I use a clean cloth dampened with mineral spirits. I use this same method when I]m staining or painting.
This is really good thanks !
Wow, great project! I used to watch you every morning on the weekend. Great show and good ideas.
I have question? In my living room there are 4 different colors of wood. The doors, the molding, the trim, and the chair rail. The ceiling fan is dark brown. What can l do to make it more appealing. Thanks!👍
Thanks, it’s really helpful video
Good job 👏🏻
This was GREAT! Thank you
Beautiful! I am going to do this. What is the stain you used? This is exactly what I want to do. Stain description would be helpful. Thank you.
Update: I did it. looks beautiful as a new cabinet. removing the doors and staining made it look so neat. your tips are great.
Hello what colr is the stain. I love it
Loooove❤❤❤❤❤ I want to do my cabinets watching this!!
Thank you very much, nice video
Extremely useful video.
Brilliant work
Looks great. Much better than coating with paint.
well, looks like ill be refinishing the cabinets in my rv now. thanks for the know how!
Thank you for this video
Very good perfect job 👍
Very helpful, so much cheaper than buying new ones.
best how to video I have found for my project. Thank you i am going to refurbish my oak cabinets with combination coating and stain! I'm using whitewash color by minwax polyshades with a natural bristle brush
How did it turn out?
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you - great video
Nice videos any ideas for touch up on lacquered natural birch cabinets thanks
Thank you so much for your helpful and detailed video! I'd like to refinish my kitchen cabinets but I'd like to paint them in a different color. Should I sand them more heavily? Is there any other step I should take into account before applying new paint?
Do you mean paint instead of wood stain?, if so, I would say prime ( have it tinted the same color you want to paint them), use two coats and sand in between with a 120 sandpaper. 2 coats of paint depending on paint and color then sand with 220 in between. Hope this helps. ( if you don’t want to sand that much, BIN primer is highly recommended but, make sure to use a respirator and good ventilation. Work quick ).
Good info.
Polyshades works quite well for this. However, you do have to apply it as thin as possible and look over your project carefully for sags on vertical edges. It tends to settle along these edges leaving a darker line. A high quality brush is very important.
What about applying with a cloth?
@@careybowden4864 I have never tried it. A good brush and mineral spirits to clean the brush is not that expensive.
i like to have some foam brushes handy for those areas your referring to.
You are giving me courage🤓
Beautiful job! Would you not recommend also doing the insides of the cabinets to match? Thank you for this video.
His cabinets appeared to be veneered inside. Most are a vinyl lamination and your finish may peel. Also, it's a lot of extra work.
Could you imagine with all that stuff going in and out,it won't last 2 minutes...
This guy is awesome!
TBH, I was skeptical at first with the chosen color but it turned out really nice! 😉
Kimberly Eteeyan it looked like candy apple dip lol
Mrs T in short what process did you take on for it....degreased sanded primed ? Any top coat ? Thanks!
Awesome! So helpful…
Great video! My dad made my kitchen cabinets there a beautiful cherry wood but they are beginning to wear down as you said in spots I've been unable to find any marker type products to cover the stain in those areas as you said. Do you have any good recommendations I can try online? I would appreciate it and I love the directness of this video too!
Same here Karen I have a cherry finish on light colored wood and haven’t been able to find a marker to match.
Nice Video 👍👍👍
Beautiful! I wish you could come do my kitchen... Its in need!
Nice job 👍
I have Maple kitchen cabinets I got from Lowes many years ago. I've always just used a gentle cleanser to get the grease off , esp those near the oven, but now I have a problem. After several cleansers, they were still very "tacky" and seemed like built up grease. I tried Goo Gone and still tacky. I have a few areas where the finish is gone as well. The cabinets look great overall, I don't want to replace them. I just want to de-grease them and seal the unfinished areas. Thanks for your advise.
Just my two cents ... the cupboards near my stove are er pretty tall. To clean I mixed a gallon? warm water, pint of white vinegar, and a couple squirts of blue Dawn dishwashing liquid, mix up pretty good, not bubbly, lay down some newspaper on the counter for drips, apply with a reasonably damp floor mop, rinse and repeat... it breaks down the heaviest grease
Very Nice 👍
