in the spirit of my current effort to make stupid shit in spite of the state of things *gestures broadly* and my lack of artistic talent, here are some of my recent projects. trying to expand out of papercraft!

needle felter? i barely know her! 🍄

before and after of this little cabinet I’m going to put more small dead things in 🖤 thinking of maybe painting a design of some sort? lmk if you have ideas!

i don’t typically post my “art” but this year i am making an effort to do more with my hands and get offline. this is your sign that arts and crafts have healing powers and you deserve to unleash your creativity even if you suck at art! remember that creativity is a skill you can hone rather than an innate talent that you have or don’t.

I'm all for theme parties, but I'm not sure about having one to refinish a bookcase

How to Refinish and Remove Stains on Antique Marble Top Table

[jacobdorpfeld]

When possible I prefer to scrape to remove the finish on a refinish project. With the right tools it can be just as fast as chemical strippers. This 6 ft table and two leaves took 2.5 hours to scrape and sand starting at 80 grit and ending with 120. Now to color match. #woodworking #finewoodworking #refinishedfurniture #refinishing #tablerestoration #bachotools https://www.instagram.com/p/CdFBrKGDyh8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Update on the dresser saga too. Here's the before and after.

I harbour some reservations about painting pine furniture. In this case the pine is old - it's a fairly modern piece made from reclaimed timber - and I was reluctant to cover it up.

This really hadn't fared well though. Our awful removers two years ago had a leaky lorry and there were water stains all over it that I couldn't hide no matter how I tried.

I think this refresh gives it a new lease of life. I have to say I'm pretty happy about how it turned out.
