  5. D F on May 15, 2022 at 7:26 pm

    Never ever wax open grained wood that hasn’t been filled. Its a lesson this woodworker learned the hard way.

  17. Md Robnson on May 15, 2022 at 7:35 pm

    Lol
    Just stained my first project
    I literally did none of these.

    Unless you count storing it to do overnight in an old non working microwave on the back porch!!
    That counts as the tent idea doesn’t it??? LOL

    I’ll do better next time. LOL
    Thanks for the tips!!!

    As a novice
    I’m gaining a lot of ideas and good experience with just my piddle projects.
    Maybe some day I’ll actually figure out how to sell that things and make back some of the money I’ve spent getting started.



  18. Miran Salih on May 15, 2022 at 7:36 pm

  21. 0ddSavant on May 15, 2022 at 7:41 pm

    That’s what I’ve been doing wrong. I’ve been storing my brushes in waxy paper *cut* from a magazine, total newbie mustake. I’ll be tearing them from now on.

  25. Big AL on May 15, 2022 at 7:44 pm

    I liked the before look better then the after finish. Left door looks more red than the right. 03:00



  26. Ross Martin on May 15, 2022 at 7:47 pm

    Where do you get those pyramids for drying? I’ve been going crazy looking for something like that! Thanks



  27. Virginia Gonzalez on May 15, 2022 at 7:48 pm

    Ooo great tips tnks



  28. Sue Bell on May 15, 2022 at 7:49 pm

    Luv the clip. I have a question though… I have a beautiful 40 year old bedroom set handed down from my in laws, that doesn’t take any damage, its amazing how well its held up. I would love to know what might have been used on the tops of the dressers… it is a very hard finish on wood and is a bit shinny. I woukd love to use this type of finish on my dinner table due to a large family with many mishaps…nicks and dings on our 10yr old table



  29. Keying Samuel on May 15, 2022 at 7:50 pm

  30. Alka jain on May 15, 2022 at 7:53 pm

    Thanks



  31. Angel Teale on May 15, 2022 at 7:54 pm

    Would love to know how to do repairs (damaged top of a table not a dent but a ding which pushed some of the wood to come away from the border) looks terrible but its a genuine vintage 1950s wooden Scandinavian wooden table and chairs set.



  32. C Yalater on May 15, 2022 at 7:56 pm

    I have watched several videos of yours about finishing and see you making one big mistake. You should not dump that much finish in a cup. Once it is poured out, it changes it’s consistency as it dries or it could pick up contaminants from the brush or from the piece. When those things happen, you need to dispose of all the finish you poured and can’t put it back in the container. Only take out what you need or less than what you need. That way you don’t waste your finishing product.

  45. Rob I on May 15, 2022 at 8:18 pm

    Is it okay to use paste wax over a glossy polyurethane finish? Will it dull the sheen?



  46. Romelia Polly on May 15, 2022 at 8:19 pm

    I’m sure you will find good solutions for all your ideas on the Stodoys website.



  47. JC Angeles on May 15, 2022 at 8:20 pm

    I’m new to this and I like to know if you sell a smaller kit for testing?
