I'm going to start with a sanding net. I'm going to strip the top. That's already my plan. I don't have a complete plan for the rest of it but this is a 80 grit sanding net. Make quick work of this. And that's just the first pass. I was able to use that because this is solid wood. See all those lines. That's solid wood. I'm going to take all the drawers out and number them. That's really important. This is a veneer so I have to be a little more careful he

I was talking about the table but me too. Anyway, I've been asked to make this cute table an even cuter table. Come along. Before we begin, quick reminder to not put your plants struck down with. Yikes. My client found this at a stale damage and all and asked me if I could lighten it. And honestly, I wasn't sure because our water damage is pretty bad. But I'll give it a go. And we'll see what happens. I'm first going to try to sand on the top to see how deep the water penetrated. So I slapped on a sixty grit disc and I'm going to let it eat. Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, The water rings actually came out pretty easily. So I moved on to the rest of the body. I was able to sand the rest with two 20 grit because I don't think this thing was sealed. And it does explain the water damage. And as always I couldn't do a flip without my you need a three by four echo sander. If you're thinking about flipping you need a good sander. Period. And you need a sander that's going to get in the creases and the curves. Respect your fingertips. Now obviously my sander's not going to get in there. And I refused to hand sand so I'm trying out the dremel. I've got a 120 disc on the end and we're going to see what happens Please don't eat through the wood. Please don't eat through the wood. Please don't eat through the wood. Hey this is working pretty good. Just going to run this thing over everything real quick. Please stand by. And unsurprisingly that could not reach all the places. So I'm going to try this thing in my jig. Which is technically for carving woods. So let's see how this goes. Close call. Now let's speed through this and completely undervalue the amount of time this actually took me to sand all the way down. But regardless how the sand was removed from everywhere and everything. But I still need to smooth up this top so I'm going over it with a couple pencil marks so I can do my best to get an even sand. The only problem is the wood's a little warm from the water. So I'm going to have to bring out the big daddy sander. The belt sander. And then I send it back up the grits. 80, 100, one20, 150, 180, 220. Boom. Sanding complete. Hit it with the air compressor to get the dust off. Oops just realized I forgot to say in a little detail. And let's let this be a lesson to everybody on why it is important to have good quality sandpaper. Cuz the first sandpaper I used sucks so I tried using a desk. Yes it's been used but I don't want to waste another piece of sandpaper for the small little area. But it wasn't getting in deep enough so we're pulling out the drummel again. Please run into the wood. Please run through the wood. Please run through the wood. It's working. Bring it around town. Can someone please remind me to stop wiping my hands on my time for the toxic chemicals. This helps to remove any dust and clean the wood before finish but it also helps see the natural color of the wood if I were to seal it just like it is. Which is precisely not what we're going for. But I have a little trick on my sleeve. Well I'm going to bleach it. Which I've never done before so this should be fun. I did however thoroughly read the directions. Always read the directions. I'd consider myself a rule follower. You're looking at a clean record kid. Not one detention. Except a diggy call to the office one day in middle school because a boy in my grade wrote Amanda sucks. On his binder. Anyway the principal did not realize that was a joke. Or even an insult. Next thing I know they're praying for God to forgive me. Religious trauma. Amen. Anyway the directions say apply solution A with a new sponge saturating the area to be pleased. Let's stamp five For softwoods, 10 minutes for hardwood. While surface is still wet, apply solution B over solution A. Let's stand overnight to dry. Before to remove any residue and to lighten wood. Solution A, wait 10 minutes. Apply solution B. Ooh, something's happening. Now, let it dry overnight. One overnight later. Good morning. It's lighter but not light enough. So, let's do it again. Here's the again. Actually, this is after bleach number three. The client wanted light, I'm going to give her light. Pro the directions, I wiped everything down with a little vinegar and water and then just to tone down the warm heart I neutralized the entire thing with a tan wash. And yes tan washing the inside of those details was very difficult. But I got it done. Slapped some sealer on it and there she is. A lighter and brighter version of such a cute little table. Again this was a commission so we did what the client wanted. And I think it's going to look so great in her space. If this was my own piece I probably would have restained it dark. Because I'm in my warm wood errand. But I'm truly surprised at how well this wood bleach worked. If this was your own piece what would you have done? The lighter look, a darker look would you have painted? Tell me. Because I'm nosy.

2M views · 1K reactions | Dresser Transformation Using Wise Owl One Hour Enamel | By Flipped by Abby | Picked up this dresser off Facebook Marketplace for a00 because I knew it had good bones to work with despite the veneer damage. I removed all the hardware with my power screwdriver and then I cleaned it with crud cutter. And blew out all the dust bunnies with a leaf blower. To repair the chip veneer, I mixed up my two-part bondo taped off the areas and then applied it. I'm pretty messy with this stuff and it dries rock hard so this helps save me time on sanding it down. I sand the bondo smooth with a 120 grit sandpaper and then I scuff the entire surface with 2 20 grit sandpaper. For any small nicks and dings, I use this bondo spot putty because it's much easier to sand down. I like to pull out my Surf Prep sander anytime I know I'm going to scuff serve curves because the Pro Foam Abrasive easily contours to the surface. I set up my Wagner Pop Up Spray Tint to avoid getting any overspray in the garage and I taped off these little metal details for later. This was my first time trying Wise Owl One Hour Enamel because I've heard so many great things about how durable it is. So, I wanted to test it out for myself but first, you have to apply their stain blocking primer which I ended up actually liking a lot. It sprayed really nicely, had good coverage, and it dried quickly so that I could sand it. The only downside was that I recommended I wait four hours before recoating it. But since the paint itself only has a one hour recoat time, I guess I can live with this. I will say that the First coat of this paint had really great coverage. I don't know if I just applied my paint too thick but I'll say after one hour, when I went to scuff sand it, it didn't seem as dry as it could have been but overall, after applying the second coat and doing a scratch test on this piece, I'm really impressed with the durability of this paint. Instead of drilling new hardware holes, I just apply some adjustable hardware to update the look of this piece. I always like to add finishing touches to my dressers by numbering them and then polishing the drawers. This is going to disguise any sculpt marks to make the drawers look new and slide like new. It also smelled really good so that's a perk. I use rub and buff to highlight these metal accents on the leg and make them match the hardware and finally, the part that should be my favorite is actually my least favorite, staging furniture. I always just want to be done at this point but it's so important that I take the time to get good photos of my piece so that I can list it for sale. My overall verdict of this paint is that I'll definitely be it again. It's so important to have durable furniture when you're selling it to a customer. However, I don't think that I would recommend it to a beginner that doesn't know how to use a paint sprayer because you might have a difficult time getting the sheen to look perfect. Thanks for watching and please hit that follow button.

But I'm always going to figure something out in the end so come along and let me show you. This huge dresser was only a hundred bucks on Facebook Marketplace. And I knew I had so much potential. I just wasn't sure what the veneer was like underneath all this paint. I got all the drawers removed and I also saved that hard work so I actually liked it. It just need to be cleaned up. Then I just slopped on as much paint thinner as I could just to get that white layer of paint off to see what I was working with. The paint came off so easy actually and it looked pretty good at the start. So my plan was to try to keep this veneer but after I started sanding, I realized it was like paper thin and that paint was covering up a lot of different defects. So, this is where I went ahead and moved on to plan B. I scuffed sanded the body in the drawers instead. I know this is controversial but I left the moldy on the sides. However, I had to remove the moldy on this bottom piece. I'm going to do a faux wood look so I really need a flat surface to work on. After I got that removed, I went in with the Dixie Bill all-in-one paint. This paint actually has primer and sealer already in it. So, as long as you have a pretty solid scuff sand on the body, you could just go in right with the paint. After that was finished up, I went ahead and painted the top in this neutral color. After that dried to get that wood grain look back, I went in with wood glaze and a wood graining tool. So, you just rock this tool back and forth after you put a layer of glaze down and just like that, you have wood grain again. It looks wild to start, I know, but you have to let this first layer dry and then, you put another layer of glaze on top and it looks just like real wood. I repeated the same process on the bottom. Then, I went in with a mixture of half water, half vinegar and toss my old hardware in for about 2 hours. After that soaked, I just grabbed some Bar Keepers Friends and a wire brush and with a little elbow grease, it looks brand new. I attached that old hardware back on and as a reminder, here is the before and here is the unrecognizable results. I'm so happy with how that wood grain came out especially paired with the color of the paint on the body and can you believe that hardware is the original hardware? When I first picked it up, it was like pitch black and now it's that beautiful goldish brass. Was painting it the right choice? Let me know and I will see you guys the next one.
