[@bubba8]

The final result is testimony to your patience and expertise. You are a credit to the profession.

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

Thank You Ray, much appreciated !!

[@mymatemartin]

By far, one of the best and most informative videos on a professional finishing process I've seen on KZbin. Excellent narration and logical flow from beginning to end.

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

Wow, thank you!

[@fugueine]

True artistry.Thank you for being very clear during the process.

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

You are very welcome

[@annefrancis7160]

Fascinating watching you restore this piece of furniture. I could never aspire to your skills but I have so much more understanding of the process. Now that I have found your channel I am looking forward to many more projects. You so obviously love what you do and love to share it with others.

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

Awesome, thank you!

[@kevingeaney7741]

Absolutely beautiful, i realise now how much i dont know about finishing..

[@tatebh]

Brilliant understanding of what you are doing and explaining and teaching. Quite amazing.

[@LostMountainRestoration]

That was just wonderful! Outstanding job and video. Thanks for posting!

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

Thank you very much!

[@Paulistaninha]

This is so beautiful. Great video I was already happy with the clear finish... This is Art Work!

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

Thank you! Cheers!

Hello my friend. I found good information in the third part of the magnificent restoration process. Thank you for sharing. You do great things. Historical furniture came back to life. See you in our new projects and videos. Warm hug. Great greetings.

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@MrGillmann]

Wow. Really enjoyed the whole process.

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@charleskuehne8916]

This is the most lucid explanation of this process I have seen. Thank you very much!

[@charleskuehne8916]

Also it's interesting to see you spray it with the drawers in I would never have thought to do that because I'd be afraid that I would just glue everything shut. But it makes a lot of sense because how else would you get even color.

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AncientEnergyEyesOpen]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@doddnejadfard3251]

I think it’s stunning,,beautiful tone ,,,,cherry but not too red,,,

[@davecornette6188]

Beautiful work! I have been doing this for over 20 years but it is amazing how much more there is to learn seeing how others do it. Is that an HVLP, RP or Conventional gun? Also in your toner coats what is your ratio of lacquer/lacquer thinner? Thank you for creating these videos and sharing.

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

Thanks ! I'm guessing the gun you are asking about is the one I am using for clear coats? That is a Kremlin M21 paired up with a Graco Tritan 308 air assisted sprayer. I shot a vid on that too, but didnt include it because the vid just got so dang long !

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

As for toners and tints, I don't thin the lacquer. The last thing I want is a run in my tint coat because it's darn near impossible to fix it properly so I use uncut lacquer.

[@mariamartin4250]

Beautiful

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ece745]

Amazing

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jamesshaverswoodworks3697]

You are a Beast Sir!

[@TheSewiak]

Would u be able to recommend best place to buy veneer to fix / replace a very small missing veneer patch ?

[@emilykrahn3185]

Turned out beautifully. Thanks for all the information. On the tint coats with lacquer, did you wait for them to dry before adding additional coats? I know you did with the final coat, but in between the tint codes, did they dry first?

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

Yes I did

[@athenaemanuel8862]

I’m new to this but eager to learn. How long did this piece take you from start to finish? I assume each coat was completely dry before applying the next? Also, I noticed you didn’t sand between coats. I thought that was a must. Im sorry, so many questions! Athena

[@jwrn4u]

Holy moly, well let’s just say I guess I’m not ready to be refining the high boy anytime soon

[@catsinthecradle8997]

Nice work! How did you develop an eye for coloring?

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

A lot of practice I guess. It's just always been natural for me.

[@the323vlog4]

Hey brother! Hope all is well. Just wondering if I could get any information on your colorants dispenser. I would love to learn more about mixing my own colors and products

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

It's a Harbil colorant dispenser. You can pick them up used and they really help fine tune your color mixing.

[@the323vlog4]

@@FurnitureRefinishingStudio thanks! I’ll keep an eye out. We have a furniture refinishing company In Texas. Would you ever consider some one on one training if I came up to work with you for like a week? Or even a few days?

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

Sure I would, Look me up online @ www.werefinish.com and drop me an email

[@Ellofez]

Dude your the cats pajamas ! Looks beautiful and super pro . So let me correct myself this makes you a pro cats pajamas! Lol

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

Thanks for the kind words !!

[@grailgirl]

Has your company recovered from the fire yet? Do you ever travel for remote projects that cannot be shipped to you? If expenses are covered?

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

Yes to both. You can contact me @ [e-mail]

[@JDavis-lq7og]

Do you always spray tops last?

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

Yes, always.

[@danieljolla1985]

Will this work with mohawk penetrating dye stain?

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

Yes !

[@sschevmale24]

How much is this piece worth?

[@danieljolla1985]

You must have little fluid coming out to be able to make that many passes that slow without runs.?.?

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

Not the case at all actually. There are a lot of factors that come into play. Equipment, finish, air temp, etc.

[@MichaelSanio]

Great video, thank you! Question for your, I am refinishing a table for my sailboat made from Teak laminated plywood, the previous owner painted grey, I want to refinish in natural Teak. I've stripped using Citrus Strip, most of the paint has been removed. However I still see a grey shadow in several places around the perimeter. I tried using CitrusStrip and 0000 steelwool, the shadow persists. How do I remove the remaining grey shadow? I'm reluctant to sand, as I may go through the Teak veneer.

[@FurnitureRefinishingStudio]

Its impossible for me to really advise you without seeing it in person, but you should have enough veneer thickness to at least sand a little by hand. I hardly ever refinish anything without at least some degree of sanding.
