Hello,
I have this table which has some sentimental value to me, that I want to turn it into a nice refurbished table.
Where to start?
Should I sand to remove the old finish and gloss? or use chemicals?
I was considering the Festool Rotex 150, which has both options of rough and fine sanding. But what about the curves?
What to do with those cracks? Use wood filler?
Finally, and most importantly, how to tackle the joints? As you can see it was made with dowels, then some one glued it badly, and it lost its strength. Should I remove the old dowels and make others somewhere else or what? :blink:
The other joints are in place, but not rigid, should I leave them or dismantle them?
I am not a woodworker, just hobby, but extreme passion for wood and tools.
Any help would be highly appreciated.:thumbsup:
Thanks all.
