- It's finally time to restore my old coffee table that's been lying around for a while. I took a hand plane approach and the results were very interesting as opposed to sanding. I look forward to using multiple techniques in future projects. Thanks for watching. Please let me know what you think or if you have any questions.

You made me see hand planes in a whole new light.
Hand planes are still great useful tools much like a chisel. A shooting board is another invaluable tool. 👍🙂
Us old geezers remember those old slotted countersunk screws , they were fitted with hand drivers ( real wrist breakers) and those awful nails . Nobody was happier to see the advance of screw/fixing technology than my generation.
Hahah this is so true. We have it so much easier nowadays. Couldn’t imagine driving in those gigantic screws on a daily basis, they always seem to strip 🥲
Из старого хлама такой великолепный финиш 👍👍👍 Кропотливая работа простым инструментом... Отдельно - оформление ролика.. Без утомительной болтовни за кадром. Без затягивания показа процесса . Всё четко, лаконично, понятны все этапы работы. А фон звуков природы - приятный бонус😊 В России говорят - Мастер Золотые Руки...😊 Так вот, Вы - истинный МАСТЕР😊
I love that Russian saying, I will remember this one. Very much appreciated my friend 👍🙂
I couldn’t agree more, I will never put any music in my videos, the sounds of the work are much more relaxing.
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!...Your Artistry...The Rain...The Sounds...The Silence...Love it ALL. Greetings from Canada.
Cheers Laura! Very much appreciated my new Canadian friend 🙂Canada looks amazing. I will keep them coming! Hello from Sydney 🇦🇺
loved how you used the planes
I also have a video on a miniature plane if your a fan of hand planes 🤓 thank you for watching 👍☺️
yes I'd love to see it.

love the sound of rain.😊
Can’t beat the sound of rain, especially on a tin roof haha 👍🙂
This was beautiful… I love how you used the basic tools and gave it an incredible finish. Loads of appreciation from fellow Australian
Cheers mate, very much appreciated. My arms suffered for it but it’s nice to have a perfectly level top. I apologise about the delay in replying 👍🙂
That turned out really nice.
Very much appreciated Annabelle 👍🙂😺
Nice save. I’m glad to see someone else uses cheap Irwin tools
Haha I actually think Irwin is okay, I love Irwin quick grip clamps. I’d be weary of craftright and stanley 😂
Go you Aussie show the world how good you are
Cheers mate! My apologies about the delay. 👍🦘🇦🇺
So nice seeing more of regular tools instead of all electric,😊
Great to see an Australian furniture restorer in the utube mix. Picked it up as soon as I saw Cabot’s and heard the Australian birds 😊 and love the planer to remove paint, genius!
I’m glad to be representing Australia 🇦🇺 haha once you live here you can never quite get the sound of the birds out of your head 😂 cheers buddy 👍 Appreciate the watch and comment 🙂
I love the rain on the roof.
Im glad people are enjoying the rain! Plenty more rain to come :) Cheers
Great job on the coffee table. Also lovely to hear the rain on that tin roof and the birds in the background.
Thank you again Liz. The birds all gather for a chat in the back tree, it produces a flower that they love to eat. 👍🙂
Nothing better than hanging out in the workshop on a rainy day. So relaxing. Thanks for sharing. 👍
I completely agree, I’m glad you guys are enjoying the rain. Thank you for watching and commenting. 🙂👍
Nice work and technique.
Thank you
Thank you Stephen. You are very much welcome, thank you for tuning in and commenting 👍🙂
Love how you didn't use power tools...great to see what is possible without them and I've never considered planing off old paint on solid wood...I learned a lot! Thank you, and a beautiful restoration!
Hand planes are such a fantastic tool, I would definitely recommend trying it. Keep it sharp and you will be in woodworking heaven. Not a problem Colleen 👍 thanks for watching and commenting.
What was the Makita Router I saw used on the inlay? Or was that simply a dream? No, it was a POWER TOOL!!!

Planing it's done just one way, a planner it's not a sander, with a sander you can go up and down or sideways.
Got to say you are an expert at planing because if not entirely flat. The plane would dig in and takes chunks in my experience. So well done
Beautiful job. I really liked the darker accent slice you did on the table top. Looks awesome!!!
Thank you Michael, my apologies about the delay! I’m glad someone else likes the strip! 😉👍
Такой. труд и вручную ,вы просто молодец
Cheers mate, much appreciated. It does require a bit of elbow grease but it’s well worth it 👍🙂
My adopted dad used his old hand tools to build our summer bungalow in Maryland. I watched him for hours.
I have much respect for your adopted dad, sounds like a wonderful memory😀👍
Congrats on the beautiful work!
Beautiful wood! I don't know what happens to people spoiling the beauty of wood with paint. To me it's just criminal...
Cheers Selma! The wood took me by surprise as well. I’ve had it for about 20 years. Definitely agree 🙈👍🙂
Very nice restoration. The natural color of the woods looks way better than the former painted surface. Awesome to see that no power tools are needed for such a beautiful result. The wooden dowels into the old nailholes are genius! Now the coffeetable gets a new life...
Yes all of that paint was hiding the very pretty wood. I would definitely recommend plaining if you get the chance with solid wood furniture, way faster and makes a really nice surface. Cheers buddy, I appreciate it 👍🙂
Excellent!
Thank you John 🙂👍
Love the sounds of the birds and the rain.
Cheers Peter, it is quite relaxing out in the shop on a nice day with the birds. I appreciate the feedback! Really helps me out 🙂👍
No power tools, nails or screws. Very nice work.
Thank you telecaster. Much appreciated 👍🙂
Hand planes? Frickin show off! ❤️
☺️🤓
that was a mighty thunder storm....lol......I totally love the wood grain
Yes it’s quite the experience when your in the shop, I hope it didn’t startle you too much! Cheers! 🙂👍
Such talent, turning trash into a real beautiful piece. I love it
Thank you Christina, plenty more restorations to come! 👍☺️
Planing = a good workout
Love the rain on the tin roof and also your solution for the crack.
hahah ohh definitely, it's a great way to tucker out the old arms. Cheers buddy, appreciate the support and feedback!😀😎
Great job
Thank you Anusara. I’m sorry about the delay in response. 👍😎
Thank you for sharing.
Not a problem at all Randy, thank you for watching. 🙂👍
That was amazing! I have never seen anyone else strip off paint with a planer! I really like how it turned out: the difference is like night and day.
The hand plane is a fantastic tool, no chemicals of dust! Cheers Joyce. Thanks for watching and your feedback 👍
It messes up the planer blade very quickly if the white paint's pigment is titanium, but it will work for a while. I've done this with an electric planer so be warned. :)
Awesome stuff
Cheers Patrick 👍👍🙂
Good lord, someone loved their nails.
I love a good pedicure! ☺️
"Rain on a tin roof sounds like a drum
We're marchin' for freedom today, hey
Turn on your headlights and sound your horn
If people get in the way"
Haha I wonder what this is from 🤔🙂👍
@@ejwoodhouserestorations2796 That's the Protest Song by Neil Innes of Monty Python fame.
@@myleftthumb2294 now I’ve gotta give it a listen 🤓
Very nice redo…
Thank you Linda 👍🙂😺
I think you might to line the roof of your shed. Lol. That rain is so loud you can't hear yourself think. Lol. Have a good one mate. 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Haha 👍 I hope it didn’t startle you too much 😅. I’m going to soundproof the inside, would like to line the top not sure what material to use though.
Cheers mate 👍 hope your having a good day 🙂🇦🇺
Leaving the black stain on top and a few imperfections was a good choice. New life with a few battle scars.
Sometimes those pesky water or rust stains are not removable, even with harsh solvents. Might as well enjoy them I definitely agree 👍
@@ejwoodhouserestorations2796 Pesky is everywhere.
Beautiful
Cheers Ron 👍🙂
those legs were a "nail artist" masterpiece.
Haha did a number on the old wrist as well 😥🙂👍
Вы проделали грандиозную работу, результат отличный!
Cheers buddy! I appreciate the watch and feedback😀👍
I am absolutely fascinated by the craftsmanship you display restoring this piece. Wonderful!
Thank you Patty! I appreciate your watch and commenting. It’s a fantastic little table 👍🙂
Very nice job. I liked that you did it over the old school way. No power tools. Very nice table under all that nasty white paint. Great work. You were taught well.
Thank you Nancy, the hand plane is a fantastic tool! Yes that white paint was truly hideous haha. Appreciate the feedback and watch 👍🙂
What beautiful wood and the clever inlay. Marvelous! Thanks for sharing. Be safe.
Cheers Patricia, I'm glad someone likes in inlay! My pleasure, I very much appreciate your view and comment. Hope your having a great day :)
Love the sheen on that wood! What a beautiful restoration.
The wood was a dream to work with, thank you for watching and commenting!🙂🤓
That was awesome the way you took that paint off with the hand plan. The use of small pegs instead of nails of screws. Very nice work how you finished it.
It's a lot of fun as well! I would highly recommend it. Cheers Risse, thank you for watching and commenting🙂👍
However, one of the first things I was taught regarding planes was to NEVER drag the plane back across the surface, as that dulls the blade.
@@stephenhoward6829 plane dragging has been the subject of much debate. I personally don’t believe it makes any difference in blade longevity. The blade is already much harder than the wood you are shaving and going backwards puts almost no tension on the blade. Plus it saves you energy not having to pick up a heavy jack plane every time haha. It also reduces the chance of putting dents in the wood, as some woods are extremely easy to damage. There is always an argument to be made, however both methods are perfectly viable.
I love working with wood and wish I had a garage to do it more often. I bought a desk with lots of cubbies and sliding shelf for laptops. It was painted light grey. I decided to strip it and found it was Honduran walnut underneath. Beautiful even if the wood was a lighter color than my other furniture.
The garage will make your woodworking so much more enjoyable, I hope you are able to get one as I would highly recommend it. It’s always fascinating to find what types of hidden gems are out there, especially with paint on them haha. I’m sure it’s a beautiful desk, walnut is a desirable wood 👍🙂
Yes I love wood. Much better than carpet or tile. My house is a row home built in 1927. I rent and am luck that when renovated the landlord/owner pulled all carpet and allowed me to leave it without carpet. At 69 not sure a garage is in my future but use a spare bedroom for projects
@@kathymonahan8024 you are very lucky indeed! Wish I had wood floors at my house, I’ve got carpet 😓. It’s never to late to get a start on a workshop, I don’t think you will ever leave if you do get one haha. You can even start a small workshop in a portable garden shed. Just give your self a couple of windows and a good foundation and you will be set 👍
Schön zu sehen, dass nicht alles auf dem Müll landen muss. Ist wieder richtig schön geworden. Tolle Arbeit. Ich bin begeistert. Weiter so🥰🥰🥰 viele Grüße aus Deutschland, Berlin
Thank you Gabby! My pleasure, I'm glad to have such great viewers and I very much appreciate your watch and feedback. Greetings from Sydney my friend :)
My old carpentry teacher would have killed me if I'd used a plane like that! :-)
Haha hand planes are great for removing paint! I hope he isn’t watching 😅
Enjoyed your video! Love seeing old furniture restored.
Awesome! Thanks Marie for watching and commenting. As do I! 🤓😀
With all the trendy painting and faux finishes seen on You Tube, it’s refreshing to see refinishes that return to wood.
This was an amazing restoration for a small table … love the use of pegs as fasteners. Lovely table with the insert added.
I agree, the wood was too beautiful to stain. Dowels are a great replacement for nails, plus they don’t rust. I appreciate your watch! 😺👍
Wow planing off paint, never seen this done before but it certainly looked quick and functional.
It works even better with harder woods. Soft woods tend to tear a little bit as the paint comes off. Give it a try 👍🙂
@@ejwoodhouserestorations2796 I will thank you so much for the information.
love it, a very honest restoration.. no sanding makes a big change. I like the sound of the rain coming down and the heavy breathing + I'd kill for those biceps!
Thanks John! Yes it’s quite different to sanding, the blade depth and sharpness have to be just right. It was an intense storm I’m glad other people got to hear it haha. Ohh the jack plane is a great workout for sure, I would highly recommend it for shaping up! Cheers buddy 😀😊
Rainbow lorikeets got me interested, restoration kept me watching. Inspired me to re do a similar table I did 25 years ago, right next to me as I watched. Cheers 😁🇦🇺
Haha you have good ears! The birds are like a living alarm clock. I would love to see it when it’s done, I’m sure it’s going to look awesome. Cheers buddy 😀🇦🇺
Güzel bir çalışmaydı 🙏🙏🇹🇷
Thank you ☺️ much appreciated 👍🙂
You must be very proud of that well done 😊👍🇨🇦
Thank you ☺️ wish I had gotten to it sooner. Cheers 👍🙂🇳🇿
Great redemption of an old piece of furniture that would otherwise have ended up as firewood. Now it is something that will be a pleasure to use!
BTW, I've been living overseas for a while... and as soon as I heard the magpies in the background I was just taken home to the 'burbs. Lovely :-)
Thank you Micheal! Ohhh definitely, it’s such a fantastic little coffee table, should have done it years ago. Haha nice ears! I’m glad it’s brought back some memories 🙂 those magpies never stop singing haha. Cheers buddy, hope your doing well 👍🙂
Much respect.
Cheers Tim, I appreciate it 👍🙂

You are welcome and thank you for sharing 🙂
I love your choice of wooden pegs instead of nails. Impressive restoration.
Thanks Shirley, dowels make a great replacement for nails sometimes. Definitely give it a try! Cheers🙂🤓
Marvelous and fascinating job!
Very much appreciated! 👍😺☺️
Wow that disaster turned out beautiful!!
Thank you Frida! Appreciate the watch and comment 🙂👍
It was more demolition than restoration to start with. It was a decent job, however 👏👏
haha yea it looked pretty bad in the beginning😅 Thank you for watching and commenting🙂
i didn't think I would like the repair strip on the top but it actually looks good. It addeds a visual element to an otherwise sinple table. Well done.
Cheers Peter! I know it looked a bitt iffy before the paint was applied haha. Appreciate the feedback and the watch😀👍
@@ejwoodhouserestorations2796 I need to stop typing with the cat on my lap. Sorry for the typos.
@@petercolquhoun2086 haha all good my friend. My cat does the same thing, dam cheeky cats 🙂👍
The planer worked quite well. I was surprised. Nice job there.
Cheers Dyana, definitely would recommend it for solid wood furniture. Thank you for watching and commenting 🙂👍
A brilliant restoration, using the hand plane to remove the paint was genius.
Very much appreciated Kahuto! Give it a try it’s very satisfying 👍😀
@@ejwoodhouserestorations2796 looking forward to more of your videos
@@kahutochishisumi9056 I’ve got some great restorations coming up next month. I appreciate the support! 🙂👍
Those planing skills are beast!
haha the jack plane is a great workout as well! Thank you for watching and commenting🙃
I never heard of or thought of removing paint with a plane. Great idea.
It's a great way to avoid sanding and leaves a great finish, give it a try you will love it. Thank you for watching and commenting😀👍
Beautiful restoration.
Thank you Lawanna! ☺️😀
I only watched out of curiosity because I did not think this table was good for anything but fire wood. it turned out very nice; and the planer approach to removing the old paint was genius.
Thanks Suhayl, looks can definitely be deceiving with wood. Hand planes are an amazing tool. Thanks for watching and commenting. :)
As I'm watching this, it is pouring rain outside so I kind of had a virtual experience. LOL!
Haha yes, the rain can be quite loud in the shop! I hope it didn't startle you too much :) Thanks for watching and commenting.
I think, could hear thunder before the rain, A thunderstorm?
@@samuelfellows6923 Yes, it probably was. Had some intense rains and flooding in Sydney a couple of months back, though it would never end. Made for an interesting sound though! 😅
Wow, it is really lovely to see how old-fashioned tools, are used to make an old coffee table, look like brand new again. Thank you .Julia Cassidy from Nottingham England 🇬🇧
Cheers Julia! Much appreciated my friend. Thank you for the support from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
THAT was so satisfying and so original. Loved everything about what you did. What a unique table.
Cheers mate! I really appreciate the feedback, helps me out a lot. Thank you for commenting and watching 🙂👍
How enjoyable. Totally woodwork done in sicela
Cheers John, appreciate the watch and comment 👍🙂
Well done. Mainly done with hand tools which I liked. Turning possible firewood into a nice useful table.
Thank you very much! Haha yes would have been a shame to have been fuel. It's now my full time laptop table. I appreciate the watch and comment :)
Great job, table came out beautiful! First time viewer and subscribed after seeing this. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Oh yeah thanks for the simplicity of your video, no annoying music or over talking and explaining what you’re doing lol
Awesome! 😊 Plenty more restorations to come so keep an eye out😉Not a problem at all buddy, your feedback helps me out a ton. Thank you for subscribing and watching.👍
It’s amazing what gems are hiding under layers of paint. I’m wondering if the legs were the tip off that this piece was a little special. Great job with great rewards. 💕
The legs did seem to have a special look about them. The grain really started to shine when the finish was applied. Definitely agree 👍 thank you for watching 👍🙂
Lovely outcome! Well done! From the middle of California USA, blessings!
Thank you Kay! Hope you having a great day, greetings from Sydney! 👍🙂
Nice project . I enjoyed watching. I particularly liked how you treated the join in the top boards.
Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and your feedback. Yes, the router is quite a useful tool! Thank you for watching and commenting. 🙂
Хорошая работа!
👍🙂 cheers buddy!
Well done.
Thank you for watching and commenting Linda ☺️👍
I am loving how you used the nail holes for dowel peg placement.
It’s a great replacement for nails 👍those old iron nails rust and can cause irreversible staining, so it’s good to remove them. Thank you for watching 👍🙂
Wow! Beautiful!!
Thank you very much Evelyn 👍☺️
The grain of this table is beautiful and l'm glad you used a natural finish because it really so beautiful seening the grain.
It is indeed a very beautiful wood, nice and strong as well. Thank you 👍🙂
That was a labor of love. Great job
Thank you again Michael, I really appreciate the feedback 🙂🤓
The table looks like it was made from a Popular Mechanics or Sunset Magazine pattern from the 50’s
Haha I just looked up those magazines, it definitely would.
Woodworking at its very best!
Cheers buddy! Thank you for watching and commenting😊👍
That thing had more nails than a new box of them !
It was really funny when I first seen those two joined peices for the top I thought, I would route those out a little bit and add an accent peice there... then you did it.
Great minds think alike 😉 you cant beat the satisfaction of routing a new piece 👍🙂
Your video was absolutely amazing to watch. Never saw anyone remove paint with that technique. The removal process was brilliant. Thanks for the video. You have a new subscriber.😃👍
Thank you my friend! I highly recommend scraping or plaining when appropriate. Very much appreciated, I’ll keep the hand plane action coming 👍🙂😊
Gorgeous! Love the inlay.
Thank you Mary! I’m glad someone else besides me likes the inlay haha 😉🙂👍
Sir, you are an absolute artist with your plane
I appreciate it buddy! it’s also a great workout 😀😉
Nice job and video thanks for sharing your time 🍺🍺👍👍
Not a problem Brian, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting :) 🍻

You need muscles to use that tool to strip the paint off wow 😮 great job
It is certainly a great workout! Especially with dinning tables 😅🙂👍
