Great delivery, great presence, great camera work and most importantly is your great content. Thank you.
Thank you George, that’s very kind of you to say! We are so glad to hear you are enjoying it in that way, thanks for watching! 👍
This is channel is a gem to woodworkers everywhere, glad i found it.
Awesome, thanks!! 👍👍
Thanks for this Tom. Such an incredibly valuable video here.
Thank you! It’s funny how some topics like this one, which is higher value to me from the “hard knocks” experience it took to learn them, isn’t as appreciated as some of the more simple and basic videos. I guess there are more people who are just getting into it that watch videos. All that’s to say, thank you for your kind comment, I’m sincerely glad you enjoyed it! 👍😎
Sharpie! The woodworkers friend. More than once it has saved me on a black finish
Haha, yes, I agree!! 😎
Hey Tom one other note, someone in the live chat mentioned about the “super chat” function allows people to donate live (i guess?). Not sure if you would want that but I’m pretty sure you’d get quite a few (very well deserved btw!) donations. Understand tho if you’d find it a distraction. Also I can tell your teaching is a labor of love yet on the other hand “the worker is worthy of his wages!” Edit, I just saw someone said YT takes 30% of that so maybe not the best choice😐. I’m sure you’ve looked into all that anyway.
Thanks Tom, allows impressed at your generosity w/those shuttle tips that make a difference. 👌
Thanks Jeff, I appreciate that, and glad you enjoy it!👍
great looking finish. Can you do the steel wool and wax on an oil finish such as arm r seal?
nevermind I just heard the answer later in the video
Hey Tom, did you do this process between every coat of shellac or just after the final one ( as I’m thinking about it I assume it’s mainly after the final coat as “finishing the finish” implies. Thx and if the answer come up in the rest of the video, no need to reply. Appreciate youaking the time to answer the many questions of us novices 😁👍
Dang man. I love to watch this channel. The info, the tips, the honesty, the vibes ever'thing is just soo cool.
Watching this always gives me the urge to leave my pc (i am a computers eng, currently working on web apps and web pages) and go to build something else out of wood.
Thank you very much
Thank you so much Crostofano! Your comments always help me to feel we must be doing something right 😎 It means a lot to us to know you find so much enjoyment in watching, and feel inspired to be creative in the shop along with us. Thank you for lifting our spirits! 👍 Tom
Just caught up with last weeks show. WOW what a great deal of information!! I can’t wait to try shellac. Thanxs Tom & Kris you guys ROCK
Thanks Dean, glad you enjoyed it...you rock too! 😎👍
This is a very timely episode. A bunch of very good information. Thanks for sharing your secrets 😉😎.
Thanks Christian, glad you enjoyed it! 👍👍
Great content. You are doing good. Will definitely come back for the next. Thumbs Up 👍
Thanks Ethan! I see you are doing good too, very unusual and entertaining way you present your ideas 👍😎
Love these shop session videos, every one. Great stuff. Thanks!
BTW: Based on my limited experience, I will say the Renaissance Wax is in excellent product -- especially if you put on very thin coats and let the coats dry completely. Don't hurry this wax. Further, it can be used on almost any surface to good effect.
The single drawback in my estimation is it's price. It costs quite a bit more than other waxes that work as well for purposes of woodworking. Again, just one person's experience...
Thanks Jerry! And thank you for your explanation of your experience with Renaissance wax!! 👍
dear tom i´ve left some comments...you are talking about some things that i already know.but it´s never get boaring!!!i like it all that much!the really beautiful wood species!i love that maple and cherry and ash..........there are so many....realy would like to see the camera lady....the face behind her voice.would be nice.stay save and healthy.strange days.....the second of an inch man.i have to laugh about myself....
Thank you so much Uwe, I am so happy to know your enjoy the presentations so much, even when you already know the subject! 😎
As you can tell, I never get bored of the creative possibilities and the beautiful potential and varieties of wood species. Some time we may have the camera lady make an appearance, but she is more comfortable on the other side of the lens!😎 Thank you again! 👍
I miss yesterday your live episode about this mater. I want to ask you how do you solve a litlle problem. Wen you stain any kind of wood, for example oak to a dark colour and after you aply the first base coat and sand it to much on the edges and the base of the wood comes out, how do you correct it?. I´m refering the edge venner were the base is more thin and delicate. Thanks for another great video. Best regards from Portugal :)
Hello to you there in Portugal! Yes, I think I understand your question. I talked a bit during this video about the common issue of “sanding through” stain revealing the lighter colored wood beneath. When showing this on the ebonized table bases, usually it happens in an edge where it is easiest to sand too much. In the case of the black stained base, I simply used a black marker to “touch up” the lighter spots. But you could use any stain method of the same color to add back the color to that spot or area. Then the next coat of finish will seal in the color repair. As the finish builds in thickness with each successive coat, the likelihood of sanding through is lessened.
Hope that helps answer your question. Thanks for watching from Portugal! Tom 😎
@@EpicWoodworking Thankyou so much Tom for your relply Tom. it helps me a lot with the marker. I´v been stain all the piece again with a spray gun. What really happens is geting more dark that i predict. I´m not a good fan of stain wood. Thanks once more . João
