REFINISHING PROJECT END SCENE

After screwing the seats back onto the chairs and moving it all inside the house I took the leaf out and got this.

REFINISHING PROJECT PART 6 chair saga

I only took a few pictures of actually painting the chairs. First they were primed using KILZ primer in a spray can. After they dried I sanded each one and they began to spray paint each one black.......... as such

REFINISHING PROJECT PART 5 table saga

After the base and trim were painted I put the table back together and stianed it once more except by the time it dried it looked as if I had just painted with brown paint. The wife did not like that, so I re-sanded it.....



Then came the staining again. I think it turned out nicely....




Wait until you see the complete finished product with the chairs....until then BOOTLEGGER OUT

REFINISHING PROJECT PART 4 table saga

So the next step for the table was to paint the base and the trim of the table top. This whole process was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures with the KILZ primer I used. After I snaded it a little I just took it out to the yard and held a piece of cardboard behind the trim and started spraying with black spray paint and this was the result.




After the rim came the base of the table which was super easy. Afer cleaning it of any dust I just too the KILZ spray on primer and went to town with it. I see no reason to use the primer that you have to paint on with a brush , when spraying it only takes minutes.




Once the primer dried and I smoothed out some of the edges and rough spots, the fun began with painting it black.





I hope you enjoyed, now have a glass of wine-------------BOOTLEGGER OUT

FIRST ATTEMPTS AT WINE MAKING

I reckon it's time to introduce ya'll to some good ole' homemade wine that I made a while back, or at least what's left of it. So after doing some research on wine making I decided to make my first batch out of some cherries that my wife had in the fridge that weren't being eaten. It took a while to get all the seeds out and I made a complete mess, but the end result was very satisfying. After the 30 day ferment process I got a wonderful small amount of dark red wine. After my first successful attempt I got jumpy and bought a few peaches and filled almost a gallon of juice up. After the 30 day wait I got what you see in the picture below.

After some failed attempts of about 5 gallons of peach wine, I attempted a gallon of blue berry wine. I was very happy with the result. It came out nice and dark. I let my dad drink some when he came to visit. His review on it was that it was sweet and just a little thick. He like to pour it over ice and kept going back for more.

Soon I might tell you a few ways to make some wine or some interesting recipes that I've tried out. Like right now I'm trying a way to make wine on a whim and if it works as well as I think it will I'm going to have a good laugh and tell you guys all about it.-----------BOOTLEGGER OUT

REFINISHING PROJECT PART 3 table saga

I haven't posted in a while, mainly because I don't have a lot of time on my hands, but I will try more to keep updates. So the table was a big deal, like before the first picture you saw of the table was after I sanded it. Now enters me to start the staining.

As we did the first part of the table we wiped the rest off with a rag. ALSO I suggest the use of gloves because if you don't and some of the stain gets on you, it will stain your skin.....trust me I know.

So after a very short and painless process the table top was stained and is lookin' pretty darn good....yeah!!!! or maybe not.....

Until next time BOOTLEGGER OUT-------------
