Refinish cabinets and furniture

Ya it can be a real art. At the first wood shop I worked at they had a contract with a moving company to fix everything they messed up. Somehow I got the job. They had this kit of dies, powders, stains, colored lacquers, burn in lacquers, waxes, puddys, colored pens, ect…made by Mohawk finishes. We called it the wizard kit.

Thanks Dennis, I might have to look into this kit.

The whole kit was very expensive and you won’t need everything in it, but they do have some wonderful products that you can buy piecemeal.

Nothing wrong with used furniture PaBull.I bet with all the great work you do that no one can tell the difference.

Refinishing furniture is probably going to be in more demand with the current economic situation. Instead of buying a whole new room full of furniture, some people may elect to have their furniture re-done for a new look. Maybe they will have the furniture already, be given it by someone, or find it at a yard sale. A few repairs, a new stain, and some new finish and it will be good as new. I can just imagine all those people with painted furniture wanting to strip off the paint for either a new color, or the look of wood.

Hi, Bas. Just checking in on the Homefurbers. Bill and Dion are right. If you’re looking for something that will bring in some extra income, refinishing furniture is the thing to get into. If I had the time, I could do all that I wanted. And when I first went into business, I used to do a lot, to make ends meet. I still do a little chair caning, when I’m in between furniture orders.

sounds about right…new house = no money :-).....we are running into the same thing with our re build…........what model/brand HVLP sprayer do you have and are you happy with it? I’m looking to get on and would like one to throw paint and poly/laq. finish…..would love to see some pictures of your finished pieces…..

Bill and Tim, I am refinishing just my own stuff. It is the furniture that looked great in the old house looks worn and old in the new house. And we picked some stuff at garage sales and from friends.

The nice thing is, it is a quick turn around; little repair, re stain, couple coats of lacquer and in 2 or 3 evenings we have an almost new dresser of dining table.

Thanks Anevada, nice input.

Rutou got it John.

Can we see some pictures?
