Hello!
I am in the process of purchasing my first house (currently in pre-settlement still) and I have become inspired to start learning how to use tools so that I can save money and do some cool projects (e.g., painting cupboards, hanging curtains, putting up shelves etc.)! Consider both my knowledge and skills at level 0 for anything tool or DIY related...
I'd like to start with something small and try to fix my neglected coffee table and couch.
Coffee table:
- I saw a video where they put a tea towel over the heat stain and used the steam/an iron and it removed it. Does this work?
- Is there something I can use to fill in the chips on the side (from puppy teething/gnawing on it)?
- Do I then just sand it and then... Stain it? Varnish it?
- I found this sander in the garage... Any tips on how to use it? Is it a terrible idea for me to try using it?
Couch:
I'm not sure if this is relevant to Bunnings and DIY, but thought I'd ask if anyone has any advice on how I could fix the bottom part of the couch from cat damage. I'd like to see if washing the couch and making the cat damage at least somewhat OK will revamp it a bit.
If anyone sees this and has any advice to offer, thank you in advance! 🙂
