    I have watched several YT videos about furniture flipping, and I had considered giving it a try. However, the realization hit me that it is a LOT of work. Just too much sanding, painting and making repairs. I've never felt confident in my painting abilities anyways, so that doesn't help either. Maybe people would think I am just being lazy for not wanting to do the work to fix up the furniture, but there are other opportunities to make money that doesn't have all the hassles of fixing up old furniture. Actually, as far as making money with furniture, I think it would be better to focus on flipping couches. Yes, there will be some repair work in that too, but it will be minor compared to the work done to fix up tables, dressers, chairs and other similar things. And people are making a lot of money flipping couches. I just think there are easier ways to make money than through the hassles of fixing up furniture (and selling it of course). Having said all this, I do commend you for having it in you to do all that time consuming, hard work. I just think there are easier ways to make money. I've found several good things here on YT that I am planning on trying.

    Question - I've seen a couple of videos where people have used a stripper before sanding. How do you know when to use that versus cleaning it and then just sanding it like you did in your video?

  • @TheMissFlips

    @TheMissFlips

    It’s honestly personal preference, but it’s important to note that the more you sand, the more you risk sanding through veneer. So if you strip first, it makes that less likely

    It’s more of a gut thing lol I start small and add a bit more as needed until the consistency is right. You want the paint to run off the stick in a consistent stream. Not watery fast drips and not thick to where it’s barely dripping. Hope that makes sense. It also helps to just see what works for you and what you like to work with

    I've got a question for you, Well a couple (1) do you just flip furniture? (2) who does any repair work that needs to be done? So let review what i see you're sanding finish off veneer .(is that what you stated?) Sanding veneer is not smart .you would've been better using a chemical stripper at least this way yo don't sand thru the veneer. But then again you don't do antiques. I'm finding that more and more people are throwing their painted furniture,

  • @TheMissFlips

    I think there’s a time and place for everything. I do everything myself. For antiques, I almost always use stripper but for this one, since I already had to scuff sand the entire piece, I just decided to go with sanding. Some people like painted furniture and pay good money for it. Others prefer wood. That’s mainly what I do. I recommend you take a look at the rest of my channel

    @@TheMissFlips So lets take a look at something, You said you clean your furniture to remove dirt and grime so it doesn't affect how your paint adheres.. What you fail to understand is ,Is that there is embeded dirt in the finish dirt that cleaning alone won't take out. NOT to mention, the fact that furniture polish leaves a waxy finish. A finish that your cleaning solution can not remove. That's why chemically stripe furniture "antique" or otherwise. I've been restoring furniture well over 20 yrs. I restore everything from 1950's back to the early 19 20's and earlier!!!! And by the way you can sand thru veneer with 120 ,220 grit sandpaper. i know because i've done it.
