Looks so easy but its not..if i do circular motions but the time I want to straighten it its already dried , i have been watching videos , and i still getting marks ..so frustrated
Your Wipe-on may be old or a bit thick. Try thinning it with Mineral sprits and apply it in colder weather (if you are in a hot area of the country). Hope that helps and thanks for watching.
@@MadNerdWorkshop I bought it for this project, but after re done the tables finally I got them done (it was my first project) though, thanks! Your videos help!
Hi what a very good video like it a lot in England when we are ready to polish we take the center bushing out to save getting glue and polish on then. wishing you all the best from the pen people in the UK.
Hi Scott, we do that here too. but I found that I have less sanding to do on the ends when I use the bushings. I don't seem to get a lot of glue on them. Plus I am rather lazy :) Thanks for Watching! Take care.,
My goodness, thank you for this. Needed this info in a hurry. I'm late to the party, but glad I found this. Now subscribed, for what it's worth. Thanks!
I would think for soft wood like pine, wood conditioner would not hurt if you are using the stain (color) Danish Oil. I never tried that on pine or any wood before, so I would defiantly try it on a small test piece first to see how it reacts with he Danish Oil.
Hello, I just purchased a computer desk online, and it's made of MDF boards. Yet these boards have a wood patterned wallpaper on top of it. Can I still use an Acrylic sealer to seal this?
Thank you so much for your detailed recording.... It's a massive help as I'm about to apply the oil to my Beach kitchen surfaces. The first time I applied the oil, it became tacky as I allowed it to dry between coats. I've spend days sanding it back to it's natural wood. Now it's ready, I'll follow your steps to perfect the finishing touch. Thanks again.
Hi! This is so helpful. I have a question. If the birch wood that I'm using is going to be exposed to water moisture for about 30-40 minutes a week and I need to clean it with hydrogen peroxide each time, how often should I reapply the Danish oil? I'm assuming that the oil finish would need to be reapplied in the future. I'm just unsure how often, unless I should just use waterproof wood sealer. Thank you so much!
I would waterproof the wood with another sealer. But if you already used the Danish Oil, just reapply it with it starts to lose that new finish look. The time can vary wildly so it is hard to say when. If the finish looks old to you, just reapply. Sorry, not sure how much that helps. :)
It is kind of creepy how closely "they" are watching our computer activities. Not only do I get advertisements for anything I have looked at anywhere (especially at Amazon), and not only do advertisements appear on my computer everywhere, but my wife gets advertisements for things I have looked at and vice-versa. Also, we swear we get advertisements for things we only talked about in the house. That got us thinking about how many electronic devices we have that can communicate with the internet without us knowing about it or that can "listen" to us talking. Let's see ... there is the television, the refrigerator, the floor vacuum robot, my wife's phone (I do not have one), our computers of course, my wife's Honda automobile, the water meter, the gas meter, the electric meter, and even Christmas tree ornaments that complain if they are not hooked up to the internet through blue tooth. I guess we cannot complain that the government never listens to us.
Help me! I stained my butcher block and then went to use my danish oil but accidentally used butcher block oil for the first coat, can I use danish oil after?
as long as you are not using a colored danish oil, you can apply it over the top of that. But you will need to let is dry completely (according to the manufacturer's instructions). Then I would give it a good sanding before applying the Danish Oil Just to make sure.
I'm sorry, I just put two sets together, and they are difficult to set up. I didn't use 2 x 4s, I used pieces of oak from an old desk. Is it possible that my drilled out pieces are too thin? I tried to put them on a thick piece of wood to test and I cannot get them equal. So far it is a fail.
How thick is the wood that was on the desk? when you drill the holes for the clamp to fit into, only cut off about 1/4 of the hole. This will make the groves deep enough for the clamp to lock onto. (if that is your issue)
Great video. I'm planning to use the same product on an oak oak vanity table in my bathroom. Does the product change the colour of natural wood (oak)? I'm hesitating to stain the wood before applying or applying it directly on the natural wood. Thanks
No, sorry, I only showed the techniques I use. The measurements are dictated by the pepper mill you are working on. so that can changes depending on the size of mill you buy.
Thanks. I’ve used minwax antique oil finish for years on gun stocks. Love the stuff. Put on, wet sand, and wipe off…and repeat. I would assume Danish oil is the exact same stuff?
Yes it is somewhat water repellent. I have used it on my coffee table and it has stood up to use for 49 years. (I have re-applied the oil twice over the years).
I'm with a community-based older men's welfare group that has substantial investment in quality woodworking tools, one being this very bandsaw, the Laguna 14/12. It's used almost every day and for most ripping jobs is preferred over a SawStop Professional table saw because bandsaws don't have kickback issues. Plus with 14" of resaw capacity we can rip much thicker stock than the table saw can handle. A really impressive unit, the ceramic blade guides are very neat. Blade speed is 965 metres per minute.
This is a fantastic video! I’m building a new wooden cabinet for an old guitar amp and I was torn between danish oil or stain/poly. This helped me make up my mind!
I have a sideboard that was refinished using WATCO Danish Oil. I would like to paint the base of the sideboard with chalk paint and leave the cabinets and drawers fronts natural walnut. How do I prepare the sideboard before using the chalk paint?
I inherited the jig from my dad and like it, but it has one flaw IMHO... it only handles standard slides (~1.5" high) and not any of the heavy duty versions (2-3"). I'd love to see a version that can be adjusted for bigger slides.
Thank you! I kept layering the dish oil on my table and the machine is not even… So I appreciate your explanation. My question is… I’m using this on my dining room table, I will go back and sand before adding another layer, will danish oil create enough of a protective seal for a dining room table
After two layers of Danish Oil, I would use some wipe on Poly. Just give the oil at least 72 hours to dry before applying the Poly. That would give you a more durable top. I have only used Danish oil on the coffee table you see as my icon photo for the channel. and that is redone about every 10 years and I made that in 1973. So Danish oil can be durable and it will last. The nice thing is that it is easy to refinish when needed.
These do make a nice gift. However, they are an expensive kit, if anyone is making them for resale. At $30 per kit plus tax (if applicable ) and shipping, it is a bit not affordable for most people.
