comp56 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Posted November 3, 2014 I'm always looking for something to refinish, refurbish, recycle.......so the other day a neighbor was going to take this to the dump because it was all scratched up and had some paint in places .....I say I could put that to good use....he say take it........ well after a couple hours of sanding and a few coats of polly you would think it was brand new......my neighbor comes by and says.....Damn.........lolsorry forgot to take a before pic but I can tell you it didn't look like this....... 1
NERemodeling Posted November 3, 2014 Report Posted November 3, 2014 Nice! Is great to save perfectly good usable items from going into a landfill!! Gonna make a top for it??
chadlanthier Posted November 3, 2014 Report Posted November 3, 2014 Nice save, so u just going to make a table or r u going to come with some new use for it.
comp56 Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Posted November 3, 2014 Because it is a larger than normal pedestal 10" and has the claw feet, I'm gonna build a poker table for it but with a black ash table top with 3" sides to go over top when not in use so it will look like a dining table and then a poker table when the top is off....
Bigmikez Posted November 3, 2014 Report Posted November 3, 2014 Comp what can't u do man?!!! Really cool stuff comp!!
chadlanthier Posted November 3, 2014 Report Posted November 3, 2014 U will have to take pictures when it's all finished.
madman_us Posted November 3, 2014 Report Posted November 3, 2014 great work comp - came up really nice, I have to refurbish my nightstands too, wife bought them from a antic store but they are scratched up and also some glass spots on it....like when you put your drink on a furniture and it leaves a circle on it.can you tell me, how to refurbish that? maybe I gonna show you some pics first
chadlanthier Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 Take a white cotton tshirt and iron the shirt right on the spot. It's amazing, I bought on old table with huge spots and it worked like a charm.
comp56 Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Posted November 4, 2014 Yes that works also taking a damp cloth and ironing it will take out small dents as well....some times....if you can remove or lighten the cup rings a light sanding with 000 steel wool and some OM Minwax oil-modified is best.....
madman_us Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 its not just a cup ring - here and there the lacquer is coming off - I will post some pics tmw.sick since 2 days - food poisoning or something....feel like a piece of sh#*
chadlanthier Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 Yep, I got the flue shot a couple weeks ago. Now I'm pretty sure I got the flue, I've been sick for 5 days.
comp56 Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Posted November 4, 2014 Wife gets the flu shot every year.......= sick every year along with a sore arm for 2-3 days......I haven't got flu shot in about 6 years.....= haven't been sickgo figure.....but just wait when I do get sick I'm a 200lb suck!
madman_us Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 ya I never get the flu shot either - you really don't know what they put in it....just eat enough veggies and fruits and you are all set. my wife bought a slush from sonic on sunday, I just took 2 lil sips - we came home and my stomach started to cramp and it was hurting bad....ended up in the bathroom all night long.....next day still the same, just one more that I started vomiting too - every 1h or so....now I feel way better - I think everything is out of my body now, gonna start to eat something normal again lol
Bigmikez Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 good to hear that ur getting better MM! this is the first year in sometime now that I got the flu shot I always get them for my kiddos as I try and believe that what there injecting into my children will protect them,we will c how this year goes
chadlanthier Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 Well here in ny if your nurse u have 2 choices get the shot or wear a mask at work for the next 8 months.
Nordraw Posted November 13, 2014 Report Posted November 13, 2014 Nice job with that. What kind of finish did you use? How many coats? Did you sand in between coats? I'm just full of question aren't I. Shouldn't have had that second cup of coffee.
comp56 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Posted November 14, 2014 Nice job with that. What kind of finish did you use? How many coats? Did you sand in between coats? I'm just full of question aren't I. Shouldn't have had that second cup of coffee. the ped started with a lot of surface scratches mainly from wear on the feet especially, so I aggressively sanded the entire base with 400gt wet gave it a coat of minwax oil modified, let dry for 20 minutes and then gave it another sanding but this time with 000 steel wool, and then another coat of clear I applied the clear with a foam brush......
Nordraw Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 Here's a hint for everyone, don't ever eat at Sonic. It sucks bad. Didn't know it would make you sick too. They tried to give me a free meal after I complained how bad the food was and I told them don't bother, I will not be returning.
Fazzman Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 My dining room table has that exact same looking pedastal,nice job restoring it.
