Scraping Paint From a Lane Acclaim Table

[@peterpanassow7814]

Thank you for rescuing this beautiful piece. Excellent job.

Thanks. I just repaired and refinished an antique rocking chair. The back and the seat had blistered, chipping, and dried out veneer on them. While I used stripper on the rest of the parts (I had disassembled it due to the original damage), I was concerned what impact the stripper would have on the veneer which I took hours repairing. I used a card scraper on the back and the seat and it turned out wonderful. Keep up the great work! Between you, Ross Taylor, and Thomas Johnson I am learning more about refinishing and repair. I posted pictures of my progress on the rocker and now have three more folks wanting me to do work for them. All of these are antiques and I give them my disclaimer of not being an accomplished restorer (yet), but they are all still wanting me to do the work for them. Thank you!

[@LostMountainRestoration]

Outstanding! They are lucky to have you locally to do their work for them. Best success to you!

Always enjoy a Larry video 😀

A special place in Hell should be reserved for people who paint over these beautiful pieces. I'm glad that you were able to restore this mid-century jewel back to its original splendor.

I try to remain non-judgmental when I deal with paint jobs like this, but I can't say I disagree with you. Thanks for watching!

Hi Larry I admire your patience and fortitude! That was not a job I would like to tackle. Good info on the need to remove the bulk of the paint first on open pore woods. Hope this painting perfectly nice wood "thing" is a short lived aberration. Can you still get MeCl stripper as a professional? You are 100% accurate how seriously toxic it is. Stuart is looking quite fit these days-he certainly does not like to be far from you :-) . regards vic

Hi Vic. The last time I bought MeCl stripper, I was fine. I haven't tried in about 8 months, but I believe I'm OK with my business license. We'll see. Stuart is a character for sure. Best to all and thanks for watching.

Hey Larry! I love your videos--I've probably watched every single one at least 3 times! I'd love to see a video about how to get started with a furniture restoration business/hobby, and what to look for when finding pieces to restore. Thanks, and hello from Montreal QC!

[@LostMountainRestoration]

Hello! Thank you for your kind words. Best regards!

[@allanhuta1862]

It was kind of funny when just as you say 'put you to sleep' Stuart yawned. He agreed apparently

[@chadhilk]

First? Nice job - thanks for sharing. Happy New Year!

[@LostMountainRestoration]

Thank you. Same to you and yours as well.

No clamps? I'm crushed...

[@LostMountainRestoration]

I should have put a clamp on my head (like the 3 Stooges) for taking on this job... LOL!

[@Loulou-sr3tk]

You did the toughest part, the owner should let you finish...

[@dsloop3907]

@ 1:35 the supervisor appears to be getting sleepy.

[@LostMountainRestoration]

Yes, sometimes I do bore him. LOL - thanks for watching.

Mo' betta? You ever spend time in Hawaii? Or is that a phrase that's used on the Mainland, too?

[@LostMountainRestoration]

No, just a little joke on urban-speak. Hawaii is on my list of places to visit, though. Best regards!

[@davecornette6188]

Thanks Larry. Good tips on stripping pigmented finishes. He/She should have let you finish it as well. If the customer didn't have the ability to strip it chances are their finishing job will also need to be stripped.

[@LostMountainRestoration]

Thanks, Dave. Yes, this was a dealer piece and margins draw tight very quickly. By finishing the job himself, he'll be able to maintain a profit on the purchase.
