Topic: Brilliant Finishes

Featured finishes: Friction polish and CA glue finish.

This class is intended for beginners who struggle with a fine finish. I demonstrate how and why to use the finesse scrapers to create a ripple free foundation. A great finish is not found in a can but in preparing a solid foundation so that any finish used will be spectacular. I cover in detail how to prepare this surface, filling and repairing surface blemishes as they appear.
Sanding techniques don’t need to be labor intensive, I work through the grits in a sensible manner and show what to look for to create a surface that begs to be touched. The final finish is just icing on the cake!

Nothing says professional or amateur like your finish. If you’re struggling with this final step, this class is for you. Any technique in finishing is worthless if the details are kept a secret. All will be revealed, explained in detail and fully illustrated. I finish small projects on the lathe.
