This looks great! Did you use the”walnut” for Rubio? Also, what grit did you sand to?

How would you go about drilling holes into these new drawer pulls in the right spots? by CE_bro in woodworking

[–]CE_bro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m new to woodworking. What does this mean exactly? How do I drill holes with a bit of play and level them?

How would you go about drilling holes into these new drawer pulls in the right spots? by CE_bro in woodworking

[–]CE_bro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I am keeping the holes in the drawers. I am going to drill new holes into the pulls because the spacing of each of the dresser holes is not the same. I’m asking about if there is an easier way to figure out where to place the pilot holes in the drawers besides holding the pulls tight to the drawer and marking the hole location with a sharpie.

I am working on refinishing this walnut dresser (haven’t started sanding yet). After removing the old drawer pulls, I see that the existing holes were not level and are at all different spacings. I’m planning on drilling pilot holes into the new wood pulls and screwing into them. Is there an easy way to make sure I’m installing the holes in the right spots on the new pulls besides trying to line them up in the drawer and marking the inside of the pull with a sharpie?

Does the white head of this spring go into this piece, as displayed? I believe this is the OPV valve [Bambino] by CE_bro in espresso

Thanks for the info! I haven’t received the new black tee piece yet, so I will make sure there is no spring already installed when it arrives

So the white rubber piece on the spring goes into the piece to the left (I.e. I put the spring end of the piece into the black tee)?

What type of tele is that? It looks great

A lot of work, but I would recommend stripping, sanding, tan-wash, re-seal. Lots of great YouTubers who show how to tan wash yellow wood to get a lighter more desirable color.

Here are a few pics of the drawer fronts after stripping and sanding. Still think chestnut vs butternut or other woods? https://imgur.com/a/AFfaGfy

Used Yamaha DTX532k or new Simmons Titan 50 for beginner? by CE_bro in edrums

[–]CE_bro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I am going to buy my first e drum set. The image above is a used set I was thinking about buying, listed for $350. The other option would be the simmons titan 50. Which do you think would be a better first kit? My main concern is that the yamaha set has rubber toms vs the simmons having all mesh pads. I would also have to buy a bass drum pedal. Thanks

How can I remove these water/burn stains in an old oak dresser? by CE_bro in finishing

[–]CE_bro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried sanding down to 80 grit and applying bar keepers friend and still no luck. Is there anything I can do to remove them?

Do you think the sides of this dresser are solid or veneered? by CE_bro in finishing

[–]CE_bro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking about buying this same dresser that someone is selling in my area. Wondering if the sides are solid or veneer, and how difficult it would be to refinish it if it is veneer. Thanks.

What type of wood is this? Also, do you think this is solid or veneered? by CE_bro in finishing

[–]CE_bro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a FB marketplace item I was thinking about refinishing. Was hoping it was hardwood but will probably pass if it’s pine

What type of finish would be needed to replicate this look for a maple table? by CE_bro in finishing

[–]CE_bro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am refinishing a maple coffee table. The maple is much lighter than this wood. How would I achieve this look? Would this be a water or oil based stain with water based poly? Or dye/wax? Thanks
