I think a rubber mallet is essential. Handy for closing paint can lids, tapping something into place or hitting yourself on the head for starting this hobby

Wood filler. There are so many out there and have different applications. This can be a whole video in itself. I’m new, only a few months in, and haven’t flipped anything yet, which is my goal, but I have done a few pieces for family. The piece I’m working on had a few different filling issues. 1) a crack in a screw hole that split to the side, I had to reuse the same location due to the screw also going into metal threading on the other board so I couldn’t just plug it up and drill new hole. Also, I had to make sure the wood had integrity to hold the new screw due to the crack going off the board but couldn’t just add another support board. Headache, but figured it out. 2) filler patch needed where I wanted to stain. Neat trick I learned for this is to not only use the sanding dust in your filler but put a little bit of your stain in too. Made matching up the stain so much easier than doing the piece with the patch at the same time. Sorry such a long message but in the end it’s all a learning curve and by watching your videos has flattened out that curve tremendously. Thanks for your generosity ❣️

@@salvagedbykscott Oh great! This is an area in which I’m rather hit or miss. I look forward to this upcoming vid! I love your attention to detail with everything you tackle.

I like Howard's Restor-a-Finish and 0000 steel wool for bringing stained furniture back to life...if it's not too far gone.

One thing that helped me is getting a 16 compartment small box organizer, and marking each compartment for a different length of screw. When knobs/pulls come off a piece and aren’t going back on, I put the screws in the right section of the box, so I can find them easily when I need that length for a different project. I taped a small plastic ruler onto the box so measuring screws for putting away is fast and easy.

I usually try to write down the products and tools you use, but this video with plain talking advice on tools is fantastic. Thank you for your generosity of spirit.

Such a great thorough list! A couple smaller artist style paintbrushes can go a long way for the finer details that you want to get into as well. Also... save your wardrobe and decide early on which will be your “painting clothes” or else you will get a liiiittle bit of paint splatter on absolutely everything you own 😂. I also think having Barkeepers Friend and some fine steel wool on hand will be useful in so many circumstances!

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! I think a cheap bagless vacuum cleaner with the brush hose fitting is very handy for workspace cleanup and also giving the item a once over after sanding. I also love using a dolly or two to help me easily move the pieces around on my own.

Off the top of my head I thought of a calk gun, disposable paint tray, cheese cloth or something to wipe any wood stains or distressing.

Love your channel, Katie, even though I’m not in the business. You are a great communicator. I recently became aware of something that allows changing a metal finish just by polishing. I have a silver framed mirror that I’d prefer as gold. Would love to watch a video that details products available, and how to transform the piece.

Saw the title of this video and got so excited! Just what I needed!

I want the scoop on the surf prep sander! Is it worth it? Does it do more or is it better than an orbital sander? I have that ryobi sander but every time I see someone use the surf prep on KZread it looks so much faster and better!

@salvagedbykscott

3 жыл бұрын

The surf prep is a detail sander. I still use my ryobi orbital for strip sanding on flat surfaces. The SP can do it but it’s better at small spaces and intricate details. It’s definitely worth it if you’re working on furniture or cabinetry full time but it’s not a “beginner” tool.

Thanks for this video. My husband and I are just starting furniture flipping and are excited to do this. We already have a lot of the tools, but needed a few more things. If I sent you a picture of a piece that I just bought to flip that is both wood and metal, would you give me your opinion/thoughts about how you see it being done. I will also list what I am thinking. I would appreciate your feedback.

I thought I knew everything about this business, but I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your channel and have learned some great things as well. You have great style and that necessary "vision" for the piece you need for this business. I wonder about how you do this in your garage in Canada though!!!!!! ❄️

I don’t know if this is a weird question but how much wood working should someone know if they wanted to start flipping furniture? I’m guessing you’d eventually need to know what type of sandpaper to use on a finish or what kind of varnish or whatever ever to use. You can’t just wing it forever and be successful lol.

Very good video for people just getting started like me. You are not doing a lot of woodworking on your projects, but a good tip for those who do, use the same tape measure throughout the same project. Believe it or not, not all tape measures measure the same because the tips are different and the play is different. When I was doing some carpentry work in my house, I would measure with one inside the house and because I was always forgetting it outside when I was measuring my cuts, I used a different one. Much to my dismay, I was off about 1/8 - 1/16 of an inch on each cut. At first I thought it was user error until my father-in-law pointed this out to me. DOH! Another tip is if you have very limited tools and are starting out, I would get a home took kit from Harbor Freight or Amazon. Like this one: www.harborfreight.com/tool-kit-with-case-130-pc-63248.html This kit, and many like it, has most of the hand tools you recommend.

I see that you usually like to use Simple Green to give the flips a good cleaning at the start. I didn't see you mention scrapers; you often use a carbide scraper, right?

@salvagedbykscott

3 ай бұрын

Yes, since this video was filmed I’ve narrowed down my favourite cleaner to Simple Green (although anything with a good degreaser will work) and I’ve incorporated a carbide scraper into my frequently used tools. That’s not necessary to get started though.
