I started using a cheap heat gun from Harbor Freight on old varnish and it worked way better than I thought.

Rant: I used to think you had to sand down to bare wood for every repair.

Am I the only one who had a shellac job turn into a sticky mess overnight?

Visited a high-end furniture showroom in Scottsdale and noticed they're using a ton of colored milk paint on oak now.
