    I'm going to comment on a small, innocuous part of the video, but I thought it was kinda funny and might help.
    Around 14 minutes in, you randomly said "why do your knees hurt when you're old," and it reminded me of a couple years ago when I was refurbishing this dump of a kitchen. My knees were KILLING ME. Up and down, I went, constantly, and they were brutal. I finally thought "I know knee pads exist... why am I putting myself through this?" and went and bought knee pads... they were an absolute game changer. I wish I didn't forget I have them so often, because I'd use them more often for all the various, nonsexual reasons I end up on my knees 😆

    Yes, at timestamp 14:22, here a little tid bit for future you; The next time you wanna add a straight piece wood on something that has a slight curve, steam the piece of wood or soak it for about 15 mimutes or so then tack it in place until the piece of wood dry's. Then you can come back and remove the tacks and glue the wood down and use small brad nails to hold the wood pieces on, as a more permanent solution.

This type of wood was relatively soft, but my last project I was doing hemlock strips and it couldn't cut through those. So that can be part of it, but sometimes they do need new blades. I get these shears with the adjustable toggle on Amazon and you can buy ones that have two extra blades as well for when one gets too dull, so that might be a good option for you. Or there might be blades you can purchase for the ones you already have. These are the exact miter shears I bought on Amazon -

    • @therefurbishedlife
      @therefurbishedlife  Месяц назад

      @@AnnieSaad-kg9tp Thank you!! I really appreciate that!!💛😊 that's a good question! I totally forgot about mentioning sandpaper grits! If it's a really stubborn finish on hardwood, then you could start at an 80 but that would be pretty rough on softwood-this finish and this soft pine wood only needed to start out about 120 and then after bleaching and having the grain raised, I hand sanded with 220. That's usually where I like to leave it off with, so that it's still absorbent to the paint wash and not blocking it off by sealing in the grain too much if you have too high of a fine grit.
      For the sides, I originally thought that it was a fake laminate wood print on the sides peeling, but realize later after sanding and getting rid of some of the damage that it was actually a very, very thin sheet of wood veneer. There was too much damage to it at that point that I needed to just paint it a solid color, so I did one layer of Algonquin (non-diluted) but I felt like it looked a little too gray as a solid color next to the wash on the regular raw wood so I wanted to paint the side something that matched the paint washed wood more closely, so then I used timber dust by Sherwin-Williams just on the sides and the tones matched really well luckily! 😊

      @@debraneria4242 that's true haha 🤔 I wonder if they could do a paint match by a Google image swatch, some boutique companies also will send you sample cards of all other colors for a few bucks.
      Ohh, I just tried out googling "paint colors similar to Fusion Mineral Paint Algonquin", and there were several really good colors in other brands!

    I think you put to much of the blue on your bondo. The more blue you put on the faster it will dry. Most people just put a small amount and that gives them time to use it. Beautiful results on your side dresser. Thank u Linda Beals.

      Thank you Linda!! 💛😊 Yep there was a little too much Bondo hardener. It was quite watery at first, so I put on some extra. I'll have to use less in the future!

    I watched a lady soak some wood trim in her bathtub to make it malleable before attaching it to the curved surface... might work?
