Yes! You don't have to hire a professional to refinish furniture. There are many ways you can do it yourself. Here are some ideas:

Use sandpaper for removing stains and scratches. Then wipe down the surface with a clean cloth.

Clear polyurethane varnish should be applied. Allow to dry thoroughly before moving furniture.

  • If your lumber isn't as dry as you would like when you purchase it (over 22% in Glen Huey's opinion…probably over 10-15% in my opinion), then it's a good idea to let it acclimate to your workshop for a couple of weeks. (woodandshop.com)
  • The best-paid 10 percent make $76,000, while the lowest-paid 10 percent make $34,000. (zippia.com)

How To

How to make wood joints

This tutorial will teach you how to join two pieces wood together. We will be using the "pocket-hole joint", which involves drilling holes in wood and then gluing them together. This method works great if your wood is straight and smooth. You might consider dowel joinery if your wood isn’t straight or flat. These are the steps

  1. Drill Pocket Hole Joints. You will need to measure and mark the exact location of your pocket hole joint. You will then drill 3/4" deep holes through each piece of wood with a jigsaw, handheld drilling machine, or hand-held drill.
  2. Sand Smooth. Sanding the edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
  3. Glue the two sides of the wood together. Apply glue on both sides of the wooden plank. Allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before you attach the pieces.
  4. Clamp the Pieces Together. After the glue has dried you can attach the pieces to form a flush joint.
  5. Trim Joinery. After the glue dries, trim any excess wood around your joint.

Make sure to leave enough room between the pieces so that you can turn them inside and out.
