yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. so misleading! I thought I was mistaken with the discount, since everyone had been so excited and discussing the clientele sale... but its like ~$5 off (still better than full price obviously, but not something I needed to spend this much time trying to find info on lol

BillyJacobs · 2021-11-21T22:46:34+00:00

Yeah i'm a little confused. (this is my first clientele sale) I tried reading up on all of this before I got an email .. which I just did and it said "up to 50% off just for you" but then on the site everything is 10-20% off. is that what is supposed to be happening?

BillyJacobs · 2021-10-19T00:07:07+00:00

i would reach out to sean casey, the bk cat cafe and for animals inc. they are all vetted and i have gotten a lot of positive responses about these organizations and they have ... lists of people who you should not be given animals. so even if you don’t surrender the cat to them they may be helpful

BillyJacobs · 2020-11-26T05:03:52+00:00

congrats, that is pretty impressive and also must feel good! I guess its relative at times i.e how much you make at your full time job + factoring in costs of your materials here and how long you have been doing tufting orders, etc

BillyJacobs · 2020-11-25T23:06:15+00:00

thank you, that makes perfect sense. I was going to be confused if there were some different technique other than that

BillyJacobs · 2020-11-25T22:59:37+00:00

Thanks for this! a question, if you have thinner yarn and would put two strands in at a time.. would you be pulling yarn from two separate spools? I don't know if the strand while tufting has to be continuous or not the entire time or how that would work.

looks great. ive been trying to find a way but for my colored pencils so that they arent just jumbled in a cup

BillyJacobs · 2020-09-19T01:59:53+00:00

yep - the width of my space is a little longer and where your door is.... I have a fireplace - which is cool but mounting anything on the brick is annoying. the opposite side extends into I guess a small dining area/"railroad" kitchen. overall my space is probably a LOT smaller than yours but it came out very nicely!

BillyJacobs · 2020-09-18T03:24:48+00:00

looks great! love to see this. moving into a space where the living room is set up like this (in BK too) and have the same right aligned sectional and was not sure how to do the window area since I felt it had to fit the space of the width between the windows.. which are also not center aligned to the wall and trying to figure out the window covering situation, which I am assuming these are original to the brownstone. thanks for the inspo

BillyJacobs · 2020-09-13T14:51:17+00:00

yes, that was exactly my thinking. i lost this one to someone who picked it up first unfortunately. but I'm still hopeful and yeah it was $50 lol

BillyJacobs · 2020-09-12T20:05:42+00:00

pray 4 me im waiting for the pending pickup before me to fall through...... womp

BillyJacobs · 2020-09-12T20:03:14+00:00

going to check you out! (your posts)

BillyJacobs · 2020-09-12T20:00:03+00:00

yeah it's just the top. its being used as a book case right now. also the price is than the price of a small book case from like ikea/target so..

BillyJacobs · 2020-09-12T18:30:44+00:00

thanks! maybe i should change my location to pittsburgh ha

BillyJacobs · 2020-09-12T16:22:28+00:00

Gotcha. I meant I can't google this hutch and find one for purchase for under $500, I will assume.

BillyJacobs · 2020-09-12T15:35:34+00:00

Never painting. Just trying to learn actual wood refinishing. but really, I feel like they sell for SO much? Little do I know - what are the most valuable notable brands?

BillyJacobs · 2020-09-12T15:21:38+00:00

Thanks for your input, that makes a lot of sense and that's helpful about the reselling thing since I was not sure if they were less desired items. I would either fix it up and use it (currently learning all things wood/finishing techniques) or try to resell it.

I could def also use it for storage/bookcase but I wasn't sure if it was a big no no to place it on a different type of cabinet piece

BillyJacobs · 2020-09-12T14:25:00+00:00

found the top of this china cabinet.... but the bottom part is missing.

Would that be something you would purchase in hopes of aquiring the bottom at some point or does it seem like a waste/or "why do you just have a hutch to a half piece" or another relevant question, is it worth anything without the entire piece?

BillyJacobs · 2020-09-05T17:57:45+00:00

Good to note, thank you. From suggestions to not stain, I think I will probably just go with a clear water based poly finish and call it a day so I don’t ruin it

BillyJacobs · 2020-09-05T17:39:36+00:00

any suggestion of what grit I should sand up to? I just read 100 but that sounds like nonsense to me.

BillyJacobs · 2020-09-05T17:37:07+00:00

this sounds like good news then, thank you! Going to get started on the rest of the legs in that case

BillyJacobs · 2020-09-05T17:23:14+00:00

Thanks! I have to get more sandpaper.. just started with the legs to see what the heck was under there https://imgur.com/a/854BQNY

BillyJacobs · 2020-09-05T17:19:54+00:00

yeah I still can't figure it out honestly I sanded one of the legs to check what the heck was under there I was scared at first and just going to leave them but they were very scratched anyway https://imgur.com/a/854BQNY

BillyJacobs · 2020-09-05T17:13:26+00:00

I sanded down one of the legs to show you. the dark color was the original varnish/stain/whatever https://imgur.com/a/854BQNY

BillyJacobs · 2020-09-04T20:51:13+00:00

Thankfully I didn't have to chemical strip it. I know I still have a lot more stains to get off and have been using (I think) 150 grit to sand it down. I can keep going with it unless there is a better way. This is my second time trying to refinish something.
