    We made my sewing tables out of 3/4" mdf for the tops and balusters for legs. I painted everything with a semi-gloss white. You could also look into using hollow-core doors and putting legs on them....

    I'm considering getting a one and still investigating. Can't afford new though. Sewing room is in the basement and with some rearranging would have room. I am enjoying reading all the thoughts here....

    I ended up using the Zip Strip on the drawers. I put it on and waited about 20 mins. The majority of the paint wiped off. I put a second coat of the stripper on it and it got the rest off. I did have...

    There are hand crank portable radios available. My son-in-law had one we used during Katrina. I bought one that also has a light. Some even have the ability to charge cell phones.

    The paint stripping continues, but is going very well. Had to buy more Zip Strip this morning.

    I'm leaning towards a walnut stain when I get that far. But was wondering about using tung oil...

    The acetone didn't work. I was able to find ZipStrip semi-paste (kind of like a sloppy gel) but it is working wonders. It's even cleaning up the finish the Citristrip left behind. The green is slowly...
