French Polish Tote

COOL!

Was that steel wool pad or a dark cloth pad?

You were keeping pretty good time with the music!

Was that a shellac coat?

You sure do good work!

Thank you.

I’m sure I could do this Paul, as it is the same technique I use on the kitchen counters, lol. Now I just need a kit like yours. That sure is a fine looking tray, and with so much fantastic detail. I can admire and appreciate it even more now after working with my own little project.

Good job being organized. Still trying to find my pencil :-)

Forget the french polish! Whatever it is you are varnishing is absolutely gorgeous.

-- Just because you’ve always done it that way doesn’t mean it’s not incredibly stupid.

Great way to keep everything handy. I know this sounds dumb but I found watching you french polish very relaxing. You are definitely a master at what you do.

-- Jeff , Illinois Please...can I stay in the basement a little longer, please!

You are such a class act.
Thanks for the inspiration.

Can’t wait to learn. Nice tray I was just looking at the design in my the MARQUETRY by Pierre Ramond. I hope my efforts will yield close to those results I can’t imagine how many hours you have in that tray.

Paul, this looks very useful. it’s nice to have things grouped together like that for use/storage. nice work

Like the tote but love your polish finish. I’m still way behind on the learning curve but haven’t given up. You must have a lot more shellac in your pad as mine begins to stick/grab much sooner than yours (you never recharged it thru the whole video). Back to the shop for more practice for me!

Thanks all

Joe It’s a bodying pad, linen on the outside and wool on the inside and yes, it is shellac with a tiny bit of mineral oil.

Jeff, French polishing is relaxing.

Mike, Bob, It’s not actually a tray it’s the top of my Music table.

Andy, If you are sticking, you may have too much shellac and not enough alcohol. I add several drops of 1.5# cut into the inner wool pad and then add alcohol a squirt at a time when it gets too dry. That much shellac will last quite a long time.

Thanks again
