Hey Everyone! What did you think of the Aqua Coat and of the belt sander on today's flip? Which one do you want to try or BOTH!?

I loved it. How much easier the process is with a belt sander. What brand and motor size should we use? Great choice. So much better than my puny palm sander.

We used to foster dogs for a rescue. One of our fosters chewed a corner or two off the wood edge of our slate coffee table. My husband found metal corner covers online. They were not too expensive, easy to install and gave new life to our coffee table. That was years ago and it has lasted through many more foster dogs.

Loved your technique on the Ethan Allen coffee table.( loved your dog as well.

Finding an Ethan Allen piece for $3 is a total score and the way you refinished it is beautiful, my favorite finish style! When we had two lab puppies years ago, they were chewing on my oak rocking chair along with other pieces, our vet suggested applying a small amount of cooking oil along with the smallest amount of cayenne pepper. It did the trick. It never harmed them and they lived to a ripe old age.

thank you my buddy! I am watching yours now : )

that looks fantastic! And I love that you got it for $3.00!!!

I think it’s sensible to be a bit intimidated by a belt sander-that’s some pretty powerful removal.

I bought a belt sander for my deck. It's a seriously powerful tool. Flat surface and real wood only for sure!

Came upon your channel while browsing. Watching you transform a $3.00 Ethan Allen coffee table, I had to subscribe. First scratches & all, getting anything Ethan Allen for $3.00 is a big score, especially when someone with your talent does your magic. Second, your transformation is beautiful, I’m really glad you didn’t stain it. Now, I have to start playing catch up with your videos, which I’m looking forward to. Thanks for sharing your talent.

thank you Donna! Appreciate you always being here! have a great week!

A de-nailer! I do a lot of rustic projects with reclaimed pallet wood and being able to shoot the nails out effortlessly sounds like heaven!

There is a spray called bitter apple. It doesn’t damage furniture and will taste bad to chewing animals (cats too!). Also, I would pair this option with providing the yummiest rawhide bones to make sure he has a better, tastier thing to chew than the bitter apple. My pit bull had the same issue due to separation anxiety so if you go somewhere and leave him home alone, keep him out of rooms with nice wooden furniture or maybe in a kennel if he’s used to kennels or likes tight cozy spaces. Good luck!

You probably already know how to repair the old coffee table but if not, hot glue an undamaged corner to create a mold and then fill the mold with Bondo and place it over the damaged corner. My "culprits" chewed the corners off the baseboards around the posts and off of the nightstands and one chair arm. Love the cerused look!

I've watched this video a few times now because it 's AMAZING!!! This is so beatuiful, one of my favorites! Thank you for sharing!

Dogs respond very well to the command “OUT”! Bark it a little bit. It makes them back up. If they go towards someone. Or go towards the street. Or fire. Or your sandwich. Or the coffee table!! It works so well because it’s the sound mother Dogs make to imply danger to the pups. Like I used to say to my children “It’s not a toy” ! When they were too little to handle glass Knick knacks. Or if they were beginning to put a chunky book towards their mouth “It’s not for your mouth”!

Put a dab of tea tree oil or citrus oil underneath corners out of sight underneath and the smell puts them off👍🐾🐾🐾🐾

I have 3 dogs that love to chew the corners of my woodwork. I tried everything from spraying the molding with bitter apple to spraying the dogs with a water gun when I caught them in the act. I finally broke all 3 of woodwork chewing by rubbing a little hot sauce on their favorite chew spots. They each chewed once, drank a whole bowl of water and haven’t touch the wood since!

Loved your video. I'm now a subscriber. This was a finish I've never seen before. Almost like that "pickled" finish I've seen on furniture. It looks fabulous. I've only had a palm sander, but I now see the major difference a larger, more powerful belt sander makes. The color finish looks beautiful and fits with your decor. Now I've learned the technique and products you've used. Well done! Thank you.

Thank you so much 😊I know right! I have to figure out a way to keep him away from this one!

The next thing you should get is a sandpaper conditioning stick. It keeps the paper from clogging up, extending the life of the sandpaper.

The coffee table is beautiful! And regarding your puppy, maybe you could watch some Cesar Milan episodes. He shows how to claim your home, your furniture and your space. Now your pup thinks it’s his table, but if you properly claim it then the dog will never touch it again.

So pretty with the light wood shining through. Many people would load it up with chalk paint….love it like this. ❤

I agree. I get tired of seeing so much chalk paint. IMO, paint should be used as a last resort, if you have to use a lot of wood putty/filler. Or if your wood has problems taking an even stain. Never thought of using paint remover on the intricate parts that are hard to sand. I learned so much from her!

We have a belt sander, but at 77 years of age (me) I just don't want to use it. I'm getting a soda blaster to use instead. I'll use walnut shells in it, so it's environmentally friendly and the walnut shells will decompose in the lawn.

Your videos are addicting and I love your finished products. You rock!

I’m looking forward to getting an orbital sander for Craft work and I’m going to need it to refinish the top of my dining room table. I’m so glad you didn’t paint this beautiful Ethan Allen piece and also happy that you reused the handles. I think you could’ve used watered acrylic paint for your wash look - probably cheaper? But it looks lovely.

I love that finish so much!! Thanks for sharing the idea!

Amazing find! Beats table! Gorgeous color wash! I would prefer to get my hands on the surf prep with the foam attachments that allows sanding on curved surfaces. I remember the old table that the dog damaged...! This new one us also perfect for your living room. The only way he wouldn't damage the table is if you put some of his toys in the space and maybe don't let him unattended in there. Thanks so much for sharing

Great result. I'm glad you didn't add a darker stain. Dogs will be dogs; it's good to show people these things happen and to not punish the pet who does not know any better. Can you spray the "new" coffee table with Dogs Off? I think it's indoor/outdoor.

For our puppies we used the spray SOUR APPLE. From pet stores. Nice job on the piece
