Hi all, some of you guys i met from the megs facility on TNOG and NXT Class already know what i do for a living. Well heres a little thread and pix to show my work. Enjoy!
So my F/T job is a furniture repair/ re finish, this is where I acquired my Rotary and sanding skills.
Brief background started off as a warehouse worker promoted to warehouse manager and then learned Furniture Repair and Refinishing from my mentor in life and work, my pops. been doing it for 13 years now.
When i first started "detailing" cars i actually did everything with my makita 9227 RB and wool pad since thats all i do at work working with Piano finish High gloss finishes and other styles. i had to learn how to use a DA instead of the other way around (RB) .
Well heres some pix of a side job i did tonight after my 10 hours of my FT job and another 4 with the side job. Customer wanted the dining table top to re finish with the same sheen and wanted the skirts (apron) of the table and legs a Satin black finish.
Nice chunk missing
Surface scratches
Deeper scratches that went into the wood
I told the designer that the deeper scratches cannot be removed unless the table gets stripped down to raw wood and re stained re sprayed etc
So the cheaper alternative is to blend it in with the rest of the table which is called "distressing" man made nicks and dings created by man to make it looked "aged" old.
Sanded down with 320 then 400 and then 600
The legs and apron before
After
Before
After
Heres the table all done
The table had 2 leaves "extenders" which had to be preped and sprayed the same.
Tomorrow after i detail a Chevy Colorado i gotta do all the dining chairs that go with this table. 2 Arm chairs and 8 side chairs.
So thats a lil something about me and what i do all day hope you enjoyed it and comments are welcomed bad or good thanx for looking :computer2::coffee:
