A Modest Proposal (for Housebloggers)
We got a lot more comments on Tuesday's post than I expected. There are obviously lots of great techniques and lessons learned out there for refinishing heavily painted woodwork. So it got me thinking....
I'm wondering if it's possible for other housebloggers out there to write up summaries on your techniques for stripping & refinishing trip. Whether your doing it now or it's been a while, a step-by-step "how to" recap is what I'm thinking of. Which tools? What chemicals? Tricks or lessons learned? Mistakes to avoid? A simple write-up would do, but the more photos the better.
I'll post my own more detailed write up this weekend, so more to come shortly. As for others folks out there, I'd love to see your approach. If we get enough I could see creating a mini-index of them over on houseblogs to help us and others learn from first-hand experiences.
Anyway, just a thought...

Just posting again because I'm worried some people won't get my Jonathan Swift reference and will think me quite odd.
