Album: Public (daniknight4)

by daniknight4
There was a lot more damage on the sides too.
I used an old round pine top I had bought for another project. I thought this might be the solution to the tabletop problem.
I added extra for  a lip around the sides and front and applied some masking tape before David cut it with a circular saw.
I used the old top as a template
I could see some yellow stains but they weren't too bad.
I thought I would smooth out the edges too.
Sanding off the previous paint and glue marks.
The veneer was peeling off in a lot of places.
I  thought I'd just go for it so I sanded the wood fill and scuff sanded the body and drawers in prep for the primer and paint.
further secured it by hammering nails into back panel.
I used Maxi Nails construction adhesive to attach it to the top.
I clamped it in place then...
I used three coats of paint in total, brushing on then rolling over with a high density foam roller to give a smooth finish.
I used Zinsser Bullseye 123 primer first, applying two coats.
My  lil collection of paint pots.
Making the chalk paint.
I stenciled all three drawer fronts and the drawer sides so that when they are opened they would look pretty. It was just an excuse to keep stenciling really:)
So much fun to do.
They look so pretty,
Tightening the nut.
Making the holes a bit bigger so the bolt fits through.
I think they suit the piece!
Wiping off the excess paint to reveal the lovely grain.
Applying water to the top first to wet it a little then painting on the wash.
Just looking at the old and the new.
I add water to the paint I used to paint the piece. Cheap and easy.
Peeling off the protective masking tape off the top.
Even though I mask it off, there is always a small amount of paint that manages to get on the wood.
Sanding the top with a fine sanding sponge before applying the wash. You really can feel the difference, it becomes so smooth.
Applying it with a damp cloth, then I let it dry for about 15 to 30 minutes and buff with a dry cloth.
My go to topcoat!
The wood top looks brand new even though it was from an old piece of used board.
The whole piece has been renewed.
I also love the color.
The stencils are so pretty!
From broke...
to bespoke!
This is what happened when I applied the top coat after over sanding!
Something like this maybe?
