Saving The Finish

To refinish or not...great article...
Saving The Finish
By Jeff Jewitt
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sooner or later, every woodworker is faced with the prospect of refinishing an old piece of furniture. Whether it's a treasured "find" at a flea market or auction, or a favor for a relative or friend, etc., most people consider stripping off the old finish and refinishing the only option of successfully restoring the appearance of the piece.

Framed on a tournament poster. Nice and large. Make an offer!

Peek at Brimfield

We did not go this time. I am getting up there and though each booth leaves me so excited to see the next...I can't do the Brimfield miles like I used to.
My idea - those Segway gizmo's. Heck, rent em....with a little cart behind them. I'd pay good money and spend all my money at Brimfield again. Free idea...use it!

Look what we got

Tony brings back the darndest stuff.

How to test for Gold

We get lots of busted jewelery and some so ugly we consider it unsalable and blinding to the eye. Sooo we scrap it and you would be surprised how much money you can get for your busted or unworn gold!
The acid test shown above is easy and effective for identifying gold.
You can find the test kits online for cheap...like on Amazon etc.
Before you use the acid, take a magnet to what you think may be gold.
Gold does not have magnetic properties and wont be attracted to a magnet.
Not all folks who buy gold are the same....some are outright scammers.
Around here I have found that Fast Cash Pawn in Pawtucket pays the most and are incredibly honest.
I won't go anywhere else. ( This is an unsolicited plug for them and they deserve it)
They are on Newport Ave across from CVS.
