Halving then quartering a standard sheet of sandpaper evenly can be fitted on any of the quarter sheet sanders. A half sheet folded in thirds is SOP in the paint trade working well for those who have small as well as large hands. The DIY ad/infomercials make it look as if there are just a few types of abrasive papers. Not so!

Did anyone else gasp with organizational excitement when he pulled out the impeccably organized and labeled expanding file full of sandpaper?

I love his voice 😊 sounds like the national geographic narration of wood work 😄 I loved all the little tools

I just had to come back and tell you that I refinished my kitchen cabinets (all 54 of them) and I did it every step that you showed in this video; except that I used a stain without the Polyurethane. I did the stain first then applied the Polyurethane separate after the stain. My cabinets turned out looking brand new! I am so glad that I found your video, it helped me so much. Thank you.

@@rachelburright1582 when I went to Home Depot to buy my stain and polyurethane I talked to the gentleman that worked in that department and he said the with his experience with the stain mixed with the polyurethane didn't work as well as doing it separately. I bought a small can of it anyway and tried it on a old piece of wood I had laying around and didn't care for it either. I think that it boils down to preference. I did mine in the two steps of stain then polyurethane and I loved the finished look.

Hi what stain did you use, just the normal minwax one? but since it doesnt penetrate wouldnt it just sit on top and not dry properly? or did you do the shellac layer and then that helped it to even out? I live in a country where I dont have access to such a wide range of staining products but I can get stains and polyurethane seperately so Id love to know how you did it

I'm so blown away by the way you organize your sandpaper! Instructions are so simple and lots of tips on going in the direction of the wood grain, brushes, applying coats etc.

You videos are the epitome of furniture restoration! Thank you for eliminating excessive banter, chatter, joking and getting straight to the point with a show-as you-go strategy. I was so impressed I became a subscriber 👍🏼🤩

I pulled this up on KZread because I was curious as to the steps to repairing, restoring, or changing the color of an old dresser or furniture piece. However, a few seconds into this video, I realized that I wasn’t here for the furniture… I was here for therapy. Your voice in the explanation is just so soothing. You’re the Bob Ross of refinishing furniture.😂

I love the way he talks. He uses very precise words. "Particles." love it. I am considering refinishing my dining room table and most of the videos I watch may me more reluctant. Yours make me more confident.

Must pick up an accordion file folder and fill with assorted sandpapers. Thanks for the tips. Outstanding job Ron! (first time viewer)

Call it old school but this is the best.. no promoting of channels, just sharing knowledge.

I'm seriously in love with this man, from the expandable file to the homemade sandpaper cutter, could you ask for anyone more perfect!

I LOVE how thorough this was. There are so many questions a person might have that an experienced restorer would take for granted and you answered all of them in advance!

So I am in love with this man ! Finally someone who explains stuff well and slow. Thank lord !!

Note to anybody. The Zinsser Bullseye Clear Shellac from Lowes, says it's 100% wax free and ok to apply a poly finish (or paint) to coat over it.

Man never stop making videos you are a dying breed. I need to learn as much as possible from you.

This brought back memories of working with my dad, a furniture refinisher, when I was a young girl. His motto was always: *Invest in good tools!* Thanks for sharing this video! ♥

One of the best furniture refinishing videos I have watched. It's because of the way you narrate the video, and the way you describe what you are doing. Very easy to follow and understand.

I'm a 3rd generation painter with 22 years experience and you are 110% right about the better the brush the better the finis. Never cheap out on a brush when painting or staining

Took some notes 1 use paint thinner to clean 2 use 120 gritt and sand with grain of wood 3 clean again this time with tack cloth to get rid of dust 4 use shellac primer 5 stain with 2 part (polyshades 2 in 1) brush lightly, don't put on too much 6 leave overnight

BEEN WATCHING RON HAZELTON MANY YEARS...HE IS THE BEST

I've just watched partway 2 other videos posted by others which was more talk no action. Yours was the perfect combo of talking while doing, thank you! Learned more from you on this video than hundreds of others. that cutter alone deserved its own video.

This is probably the most informative and detailed explanation I've seen so far, thank you!

This is one of the best Polyshades tutorials on KZread. I've used it with a lot of stuff with great success. I didn't think about using clear shellac primer as a sealer first, and that's a very good tip.

Love this! I feel encouraged and hopeful I can refinish my childhood bed. Very informative. I love the way people who know what they are doing share their wealth of knowledge to help others. Bless you!

I was refinishing a bed that I bought and this video was very helpful Mistakenly bought the wrong kind of stain and it didn't work. Then I was saved again by KZread with this video. Very informative and got me on the right track. I will come back and show you the results when I am finished.

Thank goodness.. a restoration video that doesn't just PAINT over perfectly beautiful hardwood.

Ron, you shared more value about finish work in this video than all of KZread

I love the trick of Sealing with Shellac. Thank you for your video

That garand clip sound earned a thumbs up 6 years later, sir. Well done

Ron, great sandpaper cutter and storage. However, with what you just did here in the video- sanding and such- you pretty much did "stripping" . I just finished doing a 1940's mahogany dresser and cabinet- and used ACETONE AND STEEL WOOL (no sandpaper!) . Works awesome and took off the old cruddy finish wonderfully. Then, finish the firniture with FORMBY's TUNG OIL- a gorgeous natural oil finish. I applied three thin coats of ting oil and it looks great. More natural than plastic looking polyurethane. Formby's is real natural tung oil- not the fake "tung oil" from others. Just my 2 cents from experience.

This is the best video I’ve ever seen on the subject of preparing furniture for re-finishing - perfect for an amateur like me! Thank you.

This video was wonderful and will help me so much! Thank you for making it!

The thingy for the can and the shellac tips were the winners for me. An excellent video, thank you.

The most helpfull and simple video I've seen so far,

Such a nicely done tutorial! I really enjoyed watching and learned some great tricks such as the sand paper filing system and cutter and the info about silicone from furniture polish, besides using the poly stain. Thank you!

Great job 👏🏼 your son is very lucky to have a father like you.

Beautiful! I’m refinishing a coffee table a neighbor gave me. You answered all of my questions. Thanks Ron!

I learned so much from this video! I especially like how you organized your sand paper by using the accordion folder with tabs and I like how you made the sand paper cutter with the old saw blade! Very ingenious, sir! Stripping wood is tiresome and time consuming, not to mention messy and dangerous. I'll be trying this technique on a antique chair I purchased at a thrift store! Thank you for sharing your wisdom!

The tool you made to cut sandpaper...jaw drop! That's ingenious! That as well as using the file folder to keep your sandpaper organized. 1:30 in and my life has changed! And I was going to strip an 8' dining table, too! Saved me a lot of trouble and skin burns from all that Jasco!

It was at 1.10 I realised we had a true legend in our midst.... thank you Mr Hazelton!

I have orange-ish oak end tables that I loathe because of the color. Can't replace them because my husband loves them. And he absolutely refuses to let me paint them. I found out about Minwax Polyshade and he's unbelievably ok with me staining them! But I've searched the internet and can't find anyone who has used them on an orange-ish wood. Until now!! I know this is an old video but if you see this, THANK YOU!

There are certain points on this tutorial that got me mindblown. This guy is a such a master in his craft. And that sandpaper organizer, genius

Excellent video!!! You should have your own TV show. Thank you

I came across your video 1 day prior to the day I scheduled to redo dining table at the restaurant I'm servicing. I'm forever grateful for this video and knowledge you passed along. Here in CA, naphtha is labeled as "painter cleaner", took me a while to figured that out. Thank you...

OMG the organizer for sandpaper... such a cool idea.

I use that stain product too with the light sanding. My furniture looks really rejuvenated after application. Love it. After a few days it really looks great.

This video is extremely helpful. Thank you for sharing some of your knowledge with us. I just recently got in refinishing furniture and is quickly become one of most enjoyable hobbies.

Just bought an antique 1926 Victrola phonograph that needs a little work your video has helped me Thank you!

I'm gonna work on my first drawer next week...I never refurbished anything but want to start and rn I feel way more confident after watching this video ...thanks man

Oh my goodness! The sandpaper file and cutter is GENIUS!

Thank you Ron for all of your good information and great ideas, it was very helpful for me. God Bless you and your family. Thank you for creating helpful you tube video that is very informative.

Thank you! I recently bought my first home and I hope to one day be able to do all the repairs I want. Great video.

Best refinishing video I have seen so far. Very professional and detailed instructions. Many thanks to Ron Hazelton.

I love how simple your videos are and they are so helpful!

I just picked up a can of Polyshade and oil-based wood conditioner and will be trying it out on some pine, soon. Thank you for the great tutorial! A lot of other channels seem to think poly-over-poly means no prep work, then take the stance that the product is no good! Looks like you got great results.

Great! Thanks for taking time to do this. I really love your sand paper cutter.

OMG! Everything I need to know in 1 video! Thanks champ! Material list would be helpful.

I swear. Sincerely. This is one of the most awesome videos I've ever watched and I've watched thousands upon thousands on yt and elsewhere. So incredibly informative

Very informative, and can I say I love your organized sandpaper method. That is amazing! Thank you for posting

Best video in refinished furniture! A real craftsmanship. Thanks

You are an awesome teacher! Thank you for this informative video. You answered so many questions that I didn't even know I had.

Awesome video! Useful information, professional production and expert narration! I can't wait to start rehabbing an old sewing machine cabinet for my mother in law, now that I feel like I've got a fair game plan. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you. Nobody tells us this stuff anymore.

tip, sunmight sandpaper has a vinyl backing you can wash the dirty sheets and get more use out of them the foam sanding sponges you can do the same thing. Its only sandpaper with a paper back you can't wash without the paper falling apart.

Very informative especially the part about the silicone issue.

My father was a wood expert and told me always dip brush first in apple juice then dry it. It makes the acid of the brush put on a better finish.

Love your thorough approach and step by step instructions. Brilliant job 🙏👍

He is soo organized and it's true...the better the brush the better the finish. Great video..❤

" You're Amazingly Organised ; a real Inspiration ! "

Ron, thank you so much. This video just give me the courage to tackle my wood chest I recently purchased.

oh, my god, that sandpaper organization system is genius!!

Excellent advice. This helped me restore the finish on an old upright piano with the minimum of stripping.
