Refinishing a Thrift Store Mid Century Modern-esque Side Table

I recently found this mid-century modern looking side table at my local thrift store here in the twin cities and decided to bring it back to life for a weekend project.

Very nicely done! I remember this piece was popular in the late 60s and early 70s.

Thank you! I'd love to find an original, I think this one is likely from later

Another furniture rehabber says that sanding with 220 grit can seal the pores. So she only goes up to 180 grit. That may explain the splotchiness you mentioned. Her results are very good so I believe her.

Thank you! I'll have to try that next time!

I'm not really into furniture much, but I really dig your vibe, and the quality of your video is really good, so you got a new subscriber. Keep it up 👌

Thank you so much! Great to have you!

You don't need the music, mate. Just the sound of your tools as you worked. I find the music very annoying. Have a good one, mate. 😮

Maybe I’ll try that next time! Thanks for watching!
