I love how quick, to the point and full of information this was... Not some 5 minute life story with each subject...
Totally agree! Thank you for this excellent video
@@blasko88 uy
I completely agree
😂
What a beautifully done book th-cam.com/users/postUgkxo4aMFkUegBx-KHPIJlfwKPHu7kQXAR9N ! The text and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Joseph Truini got another winner! No one does it better! Love the Cape Cod Shed with the Blue door!
I know it would be a pain but to have a comparison of each of these side by side would be amazing. Great work👍
Thank you so much. That was exactly the help I needed. Clear and precise. I'm finishing a Mid Century teak desk and didn't want it to turn out high gloss, so I now know to use oil then wax. Thanks again.
I have been searching for this information. Books, web sites, other videos...............yours is by far the most informative. great job
I know a lot of this but hearing it altogether in such a concise way was very helpful thanks hope your well.
This is very educational, thank you for the interesting videos. I was in the process of staining my staircase, after ripping off the dingy carpeting that was on it. I didn't really know what I was doing, but I did know what I wanted. Thank goodness I came across your videos. They are so easy to follow and I learned exactly what I needed to complete my staircase to look professional instead of what probably would have looked like a half finished attempt at my desired goal. I look forward to more such videos as my next project is to paint my stained kitchen cupboards white.
All killer no filler most informative video i've seen thank you!
So glad I found this! I have been watching videos (as an amateur) and have been wondering why different finishes are being applied. This helps a TON! I will be bookmarking this for later use! Thank you.
So appreciate his knowledge and ability to convey it.
Thank you. This just answered a lot of questions, with great clarity.
Thank you so much for this video. I have a project on the go and have found the information extremely useful.
Great video. You answered all questions that I had regarding finding the right finish to put on my kitchen cupboards. Thank you for sharing.
great video. finishing is not as easy as it sounds and this really helps.
Great video. Right to the point. Many people would see polyurethane as a type of varnish because it is also made of resins in a solvent.
This was super helpful, bro! Following your advice I grabbed a spray pack of polyurethane and I'm hitting the table top today! Props!
Well, that was great, I have spent two weeks and lots of experiments to get to this, full of info video.
Much finished wood comes with acrylic, which is neither really good nor really bad. I will be rubbing it off my beech workbench [axminster kit] with sandpaper and going for a better finsh to get the grain to pop.
I have used polyurthane mixed 5050 with white spirit to create a finishing coating which will soak in on my hardwood windowsills.
The coating of polyurthane that was used a few years ago on windowsills [bare hardwood] formed a horrid plastic surface which was affected by sunshine, and is hard to remove.
I have four beech worktops to prepare this week before installing, cost and time is a consideration, so underneath and raw edges I will use the 50 : 50 spirit : urethane as a protection against any dampness, and either use the same on top with Liberom finishing oil to finish, or just use the finishing oil alone. The finishing oil tends to go on quite thick, and takes a while to dry, so I am tempted to try adding 1 part spirit to 2 parts oil, for the initial coat, I will experiment, My own dining area/workspace is the same beech worktop , but is not in thesame area, so I might try shellac to finish.
This was exactly what I needed to know, thank you. Very informative, out over clearly and so helpful!
Brilliant video! Thanks. Very helpful and informative!!!
Damn. This video is a shortcut to a newbie like me. I have a very clear direction now.
Thanks! Very informative, organized and concise!
Thanks for your video. You explained really clear.
Outstanding. Thank you! This is now my go to reference on wood finishing!
Nice one, just been given an 'Abbess' Oak desk today which I want to treat sympathetically so pleased I found this tonight 👍👍
Thank you for your time. Very helpful video.
IMO, tung oil gives a beautiful warm, dark hue and brings out the beautiful grain patterns in wood. Linseed oil has a yellow tinge that looks looks like someone pissed on my gift boxes.
Great presentation. Concise and informative.
This video was perfect, thank you ✨
Thank you for sharing your experience. Great video, very helpful and informative. I must say that your channel has been a great motivation and inspiration to me. thanks
Great guide I have a similar channel where I thrift and refinish midcentury furniture! Love it! 😍
great video keith
my favourite finish is danish oil
Great guide - thank you!
Damn good info video. Short and to the point. Two thumbs up.
I have an old piece of furniture with ayers of paint and also bare wood. I'm looking to retain the old layers of paint for a distressed look and also bring out the texture of the wood. Can I use oil for this? What would you suggest? Thank you :)
Excellent! and to the point!
Excellent video, very informative! Thanks for making it.
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for keeping it straight and detailed :)
Very helpful! Thank you!
Just the information I needed, Fantastic video friend
good video. Saved for future.
Thank you, It is a very useful video, just what I needed!
Very helpful! Should I stain the table top then oil and then finish with layers of Poly ?
Thanks for the info. I have a question if you don't mind me asking. I dwell in a mountainous area where winters are harsh owing to knees-deep snow and roofs are invariably made of wooden planks with plastic and soil on top. I want to polish the undersides of planks without having to install ceiling. Could you please recommend a finish PU/Oil that would suit my situation the best? Thanks in advance!
Thanks. Very informative.
For high temperature, high humidity weather what is the best protection?
Really helpful, thanks
Amazing video! Thank u
What would be your choice if you had to work on an old Mercedes Benz zebrano wood dashboard?
Thank you so much!
Very interesting. What kind of varnish, laquer or wax would you recommend for a vivarium, a Snake enclosure. Which products are safe for reptiles? Thank you.
Hello, I have an old storage room that i need help with. all the walls and ceiling is old barn wood planks with rough edges. it was used for many years as a wine fermenting room so it has a smell to it. I would like to convert this room to storage but need help on what to do with the barn wood walls. could i use one of the options to seal the wood to help with smell? thank you kindly in advance for your advice .
This was fantastic. Thank you!
Thanks.
Very informative. Thanks.
I’m building my own matching coffee & dining table. Thinking danish oil or a clear wax but not sure what would be best?
Super info ! I used Val oil to finish a guitar body . Want to do a clear coat , would min wax polyurethane oil based spray work for this and blend ok ? Thanks
You didn't mention the sealer.
And which of those methods need pre treatment pls?
Very informative. Thanks. Would using Danish oil after Shellac stop it from dulling?
wow Tnx Bro, It's very helpful...
keep up !!
Hi, can I use shellac over a coat of mineral oil?👀 Not an expert, but if this is possible, would these or either of them be safe for a baby's crib? Thanks in advance!
Ace tips mate, cheers.
Pro channel man !!
thank you! another great video.
Thanks!!
thanks a lot. very helpful video
Top vid mate, thanks
Well done pal, thanks for this.
I'm sure you've been told this by now but shellac doesn't come from a tree. It's the excretion of the lac bug
Hi, i polyd (waterbased) some light blond wood and it turned it completely dark! Anything i can do to get orig color back?
I have an antique (1890s) armoire with some water stains. I was told it had a linseed oil finish. I am concerned about which technique to use to remove the water stains (bottom 6") without ruining the finish. Assuming it will need a new finish, how do I choose which material (linseed oil, lacquer, varnish, etc) to protect the walnut wood?
What would you recommend for finger wood rings?
@Rag 'n' Brown but nitrocellulose lacquer takes a long time to dry and cure, doesn't it?
very helpful thanks. What is enamel paint finish for wood ? which one of the ones your have stated here are close to it.
great info cheers mate.
Alright rag n bone, I've got a whole setup of oak coffee tables tv unit and a tall 6ft shelving and im going to sale it all soon but I need to re varnish the TV unit top because I spilt acetone on it and its caused marks all over it, what do i need to do to it to repair it mate? Any ideas?
Super informative thank you!
Have you ever used Spar Urethane?
Amazing! Thanks
I appreciate the effort.
good video in quick time too. Can I ask you what do yo think of Danish oil compared to Osmo oil in relation to durability? thanks in advance
Danish oil is not very durable. Osmo is a brand, it is not a type of finish. The type of finish is hard wax oil. Other brands are available! Hard wax oil is very durable
@@RagnBoneBrown yes I know , just got use to calling it osmo...easier :). thanks for the info about Danish oil, think I will stick to the 'osmo' . I agree what you say about poly - the plastic look, I look at using it then last min change my mind. If I did I would probably use wipe on poly.thanks for the info again and look after yourself in the lock down.
So what product would you recommend for an exterior garden table and benches? I want to try and keep the natural colour of the wood as much as possible.
I would suggest you need to consider the type of wood rather than finish. There is no exterior wood finish that lasts years without maintenance. Best to use a durable hard wood capable of lasting outside of which there are many

What best I can use for hard wood floor ?
What do you recommend for 0.6 walnut veneer?
Do you have any experience with epoxy for tables?
Thank you SIR!
The guy reminds me of the movie Chicken Run
good video
So then would a polyurethane be the finish you'd see on an old 40's restored Chris Craft boat? Looking to build a boat myself... Well.. a Kayak lol
I’m making a pallet wall for my lounge.. what’s the best finish?
Can you make osmo oil thinner ?
I honestly love a video where it explains it to me like I’m dumb , it’s exactly what I need haha
Same
That's me, I'm dumb.
Very informative video. No awful background music. You were quick and to-the-point yet you were still able to provide a clear, understandable and in-depth explanation. You didn't try to sell me anything and most importantly you didn't waste my time. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. TH-cam could use a lot more like you
Agreed. I subscribed after the first video I watched of his, which was a similar advice video as this about hand planers.
Not a minute was wasted in this video, every seconds is all about helpfull information and no other things, specially for a newboe like me. Thanks for these enlightenment🤓
Well done.
I hate wading though the crap videos of youtube to find the good ones, but here we are. You've made a good round-up of finishes. Thanks.
+Wade Patton thanks Wade
Ha, Wade hates wading!
@@Luxine108 Oh I like wading to fish and such, but dislike wading through "crap" most all the time. TH-cam or otherwise.
100% agree
Wow! Straight to the point. No 20 minutes of "unboxing" or throat clearing.
This Gentleman knows what he is talking about!
One of the Best discussions, I have seen on TH-cam!
I have over 45 years experience in the trade of historic restoration and finishing and done seminars and lectures.
There is much more to understanding each finishing product mentioned.
Thanks for reading the comments and good luck with your projects!
Have a Wonderful Day!
Really helpful. Thank you!
"I'm not an expert" honestly, I don't know how this can get better, mate.
I think you did well, I certainly have a better understanding of finishes than I did before.
I'm new to wood finishing and came across this video after watching many others. this is by far the best and most informative. I'll be watching this many more times. Thanks. :-)
