veneers are the way to go. Grain matching a hunk of timber is not the way to go

Great tip. Thanks.

Will a file work to remove glue? Sort of like a finger nail…

The iron method worked for me. Thanks so much!

Refinishing an antique chest of drawers. The back plate for the handles is solid brass but it has some type of coating on it I am able to get parts of it down to a real shiny brass but other parts the finish is not coming off. Will this method work for that?

How hot was the iron setting?

Geez thanks. I’m refinishing an old desk that a neighbor put out for trash. The hardware is all brass. I used your method. Then I took a magic eraser with just a tiny dab of baking soda which helped remove the black residue. Pat dry. Voila!!! It only took a few minutes. They’re really beautiful. Thanks so much

Genius!

Another trick that worked for me is using a hairdryer and tissue. Aim the hairdryer on warm at the stain and keep it rotating. With your other hand keep rubbing the stain with the tissue. The hairdryer should be on your hands and not directly on the stain (only in some intervals)

Hi. Great video. Are the bristle discs any good for sanding painted wood?

Oh wow! This worked so well on my brass door knocker!! And was so easy! I had tried using Brasso and all sorts of cleaners but none of them did a thing. Thank you so much! My door knocker looks like new!

Is this after using stripper?

Great video/It can't be an "A" unless it doesn't take the sheen off but yep howard can be your friend . It's a cutting / 1st

Can't find these grade A sprays in the UK at all. Any idea of an equivalent?

Very helpful video!! Learned several new things about re-gluing chairs! Thank so much!

Besides the cleaning part, my useful take away from this video was the magnet test. Next time I visit a hardware store to purchase brass items for my doors, windows, etc - I’ll use this test to be sure what I buy is pure brass. Thank you 🙏

What type of drill do you use for these? Thanks.

Do you have to strip the furniture before using the discs? If so, how do you do that on highly carved furniture? Thank you.

Has anyone tried these discs? I found them on Amazon but the reviews were dismal. I have a cabinet with very detailed carvings on the doors and drawer fronts that I would love to use this technique on. Thank you.

Hand sanitizer is what caused my wh8te spots, and I'm here trying to figure out how to fix it. 😂

Thank you! I just scored an awesome Amish corner curio with the same and I want to put simple pine cone/bear knobs on it but after unscrewing the knob realized it's affixed by tiny nails and I wasn't sure of a good way to do this. I won't attempt it until the knobs come in, but thank you for showing! I did notice some scratching under the plate- was that from the chisel? Or did they affix the plate to hide that scratch originally.... I have unfinished stained wood that I can't scratch because I will not be sanding it. Thank you!

Looks great. How would I clean a "large" piece of brass such as a storage chest

As helpful as this is, I still don't see how you can get into the super tiny nooks n crannies. Looks like a nightmare honestly lol

If you use toothpaste soap and water it will come out a little bit at a time

It's 2024! I'm so happy that you gave the bonus tip before I started. I really don't know if I have brass or plating on my hardware. But I know it's over 50 years old.😮😮

Thank you! You helped me out!

Hello we have an oak veneer desk top does the iron method work to remove a water mark?

I have a circe stain on the top of the wood case of an 80 yr old antique radio. Probably try the iron method as I must maintain the original look of crackled and worn finish of the redt of the pirce. The thinner etc method is good for making things look like new as it sort of disolves and redistributes the finish 11:14 in

I have to spray white oak furniture for exterior use. What should I use? Answer please

Is mohawk laquer you present good for exterior furniture application?

How can I buy this one

I cleaned the brass hardware on my mother newly purchased antique chest of drawers. I watched a few videos and this worked like magic! Got all those nooks and crannies with very little effort. Fished it off with w/ dawn power cleaner and a sponge to remove the oily residue from the tarnish. I did 14 in 45 minutes. Impressive!

Amazing

I am a first timer and am getting ready to strip my childhood furniture from 1971. I see you soaking it down, what keeps the wood from warping?

Helpful info about the copper color.

Excellent video. Thank you so much.

Beautiful finish, mate. Nothing like old wood.

Will the compound damage finished wood? I need to make a mold of a spindle leg on a desk (chewed up by my pup).

How large a diameter of dowel did you use?

How would I do this with a large brass object like a pot. I can’t fit it in anything on my stove

Ridiculously expensive

Thanks so much for a great video and links!! I do a lot of restoration work for resale and have avoided pieces that were missing detail in the past. Following your steps and hopefully replacing the missing half of my buffet foot.

Super helpful information! Thanks so much!

What do you do when the screws AREN’T in the back and the handle prevents you from twisting the screws which appear to be in the front? Trying to keep from removing the very front piece of my dresser drawer front that appears to be nailed to the drawer frame. Never mind, seeing others asked 7 years ago with no answer.

What if I can't remove the hardware from the furniture so I can't put it in a hot pan?

Remove white rings from laminate countertop

Thanks for vdo. I am wondering if you can give me some advise. We have weather front door with a lot of sun weathered so part that not protect by storm door were dried. We used sunsheild from Howard and it does look better. However, we can’t bring the shine back like the other part where we polyurethane in the past. So any recommendation for product to use on top of sunsheild wax?

Excellent Advice, Thanks Very Much! I was wondering🤔Using your same vinegar technique- If Someone has arthritis, could you or anyone recommend a type of steel wool wheel that could be attached to a drill that would work just as well? Thanks👍😉🇨🇦

How about for larch brass items that can't be boiled?
