Dan's son Arthur demonstrates a new tool that removes varnish from furniture using a laser. The tool is new to the market and Arthur researched and purchased one to help reduce the amounts of chemicals used and speed up the stripping process.

Dan the Furniture Repair Man
Dan’s Story
I started my furniture restoration business thinking I would be a small shop and hoped to keep the lights on. We focused on a quality product and accepting the challenges that each piece had. My son Arthur came to help with the work and added skills and talented we needed.
“It will never leave my shop until it is good enough to brag about”(and I like to brag).
Every time we repair something it keeps it out of the landfill and keeps another tree from being cut down to replace it.
The more we share our knowledge the more times this happens.
We work on all types of pieces, from brand new pieces damaged in shipping to antiques that are hundreds of years old.
We will try and post weekly depending on the work we have.
If you can subscribe, like, comment, share(any or all) you will help us with this project.

I’m going to be honest, I never envisioned my business developing into where we are today.
We have 2 shops, we have worked for museums, rock stars, actors, athletes and were asked to consult on the Queen Mary.
I have my customers to thank for this success and the way we show our appreciation is by giving you back the best we have in us.
I can’t remember my customer’s name or face but when I ask them about the piece I restored for them I can recall every detail about the project.
We have sifted though personnel looking for the people that are natural craftsmen, artisans or just to stubborn to give up until they Get it Right!
This has created a team and attitude that has tremendous pride in the work they do.
Thanks for your time and attention

Great idea. Less chemicals in the landfill.

Yes!

I like how at the 3:40 mark you have the laser pointed out at the general public walking by. Pretty much the highlight of the video. I used to get annoyed at people who would stop outside my shop and take inventory to share with their burglar friends. This totally solves that!!

Arthur at Dan the furniture repair man was really great in taking the time to explain his experience with this laser and answer any questions I had. Kind, professional, clear and thorough, I definitely recommend reaching out to get your questions answered. Great people!

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 7 месяцев назад

Glad we were able to help. Arthur is my son and I'm very thankful we are able to work together and am very proud of the work he and his wife do. Thanks for the nice comments!

@sstevenson638 Месяц назад

Holly crap! Did you consider what might happen to passers by if some overshoot from your laser hit them in the eye when you were using that thing outside of the shop? Class 4 lasers are extremely dangerous. Lasers are great but you need to impose some safety rules, including protective barriers around whatever you are working on.

@Boodieman72 4 месяца назад

You can use a laser to clean all hard surfaces. The lenses need to be kept clean so have a vacuum suck up the bits before it bakes on lens adding a fan also helps.

Arthur, thank your for taking time explaining your laser process. We look forward to ordering our unit to assist our clients her in the AZ!

@zer0gravity184 12 дней назад

I might have missed this in the video, but you're using a pulse wave unit, not the continuous wave... yes? If that's the case, this would work on outdoor funiture as well. Materials such as aluminum, wrought iron, marble, concrete, fiberglass, etc could be integrated within your particular cleaning/restoration service. Btw, has this increased your customer base? How were you able to market your new service? Do you charge by the job or by the hour? The reason I asked is because I live in the southeastern part of the US and see a lot of potential in using this type of equipment for residential and commercial use. It's relatively a new market and I would certainly like to capitalize on it if everything falls into place. Unfortunately, there's not enough information out there to support it as a stand alone business.

We have used it on metal and it works very well. We purchased the 100 watt machine but the 200 watt machine would have been a better choice for thick finishes. We strip about 75% of our projects with the machine and it has held up. We only do refinishing and our shop keeps the machine busy. Here is the link to the machine we purchased www.jnctlaser.com/laser-machine/laser-cleaning-machine/100w-laser-cleaning-machine/

What a cool machine! I've seen these used for rust removal, but I see this as a more marketable use for the tools. Would love to see an update after some usage and time spent with the machine and a cost breakdown. Cool idea for a business...in home, chemical free, cabinet or furniture stripping!

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 8 месяцев назад

Hello, The machine has paid for itself, we are happy with the results we are getting. When it works it is amazing but it struggles with paint and heavier clear coats like poly or conversion varnishes. We used it on a steel trunk which were nightmares in the past and it cleaned the metal in a fraction of time. We have 2 shops and are happy with the first so will be purchasing a machine for the second but will get the 200 watt machine to see if it works better on painted pieces. Thanks so much for watching!

Hi Dan, Arthur did great job. Have you tried on hardwood floor ?

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 2 месяца назад

No we haven't used it on any flooring. I think the poly on the floors may be too tough for the 100 watt machine. There is a new 300 watt machine that may be the answer to the very durable finishes.

Hi there. Thanks for the great video. I did try and send you an email but it's not going through. Is it possible to share the settings with me? I just got a unit and doing tests and seems like I have not enough power to strip varnish or too much and it burns the wood. I have a sfx 300 watt unit. Thanks again for the awesome video.

@marcelthibodeau9577 7 месяцев назад

How is the learning curve going with the laser….curious if you are still using a lens a day and about the availability of the lenses.

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 7 месяцев назад

Hello, We are stilling using the same amount of lens covers a day but have found that temperature and humidity along with the varnish we are removing are factors in how long they last. We have had no problems with the machine and it operated in a busy furniture restoration shop. We are still able to purchase the lens covers from the manufacturer.

@hannahswann747 6 месяцев назад

Amazing! Thanks for sharing this. I work with lasers in cosmetic aesthetics and if not careful the areas to the side/behind your target can be hit by the beam. Just wondering if any of your background areas ever get affected?

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 4 месяца назад

We use the machine in a 3 wall tent but the lighting didn't work well with the camera so we moved the piece to natural light for the video and were careful about where it was pointed.

@actionman67 2 месяца назад

@brutus2 8 месяцев назад

It looks like a 100W instead of 200W laser cleaner. A word of advice when using the laser outdoors, be aware that the laser beam can hit people walking on the pavement. You should set up some form of protection around the workplace.

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 8 месяцев назад

Hello, Yes it is a 100 watt laser. We use a protective tent when in use but the light through the video off so we worked outside of it.| Thanks for the tip.

@tedparreco5963 7 месяцев назад

How do you suppose this would do on worn out marine varnish? I refinish front doors by sanding and scraping, this would speed up the process immensely, so long as it could actually make it through the old finish. Also, how much sanding was involved after you got the wood clean before applying the new finish?

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 7 месяцев назад

We have a 100 watt machine and ours won't remove marine varnish. The 200 watt machine may be strong enough to remove it.

@JenniferHungate 9 месяцев назад

How have you enjoyed the machine thus far? Are you having any issues with the machine? Is the supplier responsive with any questions?

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 8 месяцев назад

The machine works well on lacquer and shellac. On paint it takes multiple passes and sometimes won't remove the primer. A higher watt machine may work on paint better, we are using a 100 watt machine. Customer service is not good for the company we purchased but the price point much less than other companies.

@Streamside66 5 месяцев назад

Have tried it on painted surfaces?

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 5 месяцев назад

We have, it does a good job on the top coat but struggles with the primers, I would suggest a higher wattage maybe the 200 watt if you were doing paint. Also old paint contains lead that you have to be careful about.

how many lenses you need per month? and where you can purchase them?

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 7 месяцев назад

We get 4-87 hours out of a lens cover depending on temperature and humidity. When the cover needs to be replaced there is a brown spot in the middle of it the interferes with the laser.

A previous owner applied a coat (or two) of epoxy to the teak toe rail several years ago which now needs to be stripped off. How well do you think the tool will work on this finish? What do you use to protect adjacent painted surfaces? Thanks!

@cptrush3671 5 месяцев назад

blue painters tape or white will protect other surfaces.

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 4 месяца назад

We haven't had any luck removing epoxy with it but a higher watt machine may work. Our machine is 100 watts. We use a sheet rock wide blade taping knife as a shield to protect adjacent surfaces.

I'm not sure if this setup is just for the video or not; however, I noticed that you are pointing the laser, while doing the legs, towards a pedestrian walk path. There were even some people on the side walk in the background. It seems like your are concerned about your employees health, but I hope maybe this was just a lapse in judgement about protecting others. As you mentioned, this is a relatively new machine, and it's unclear how far the beam can travel.

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 3 месяца назад

@danthefurniturerepairman9411 9 месяцев назад

We are running it at the maximum levels. If you are burning wood you may have the tool too close to the piece or may need to move it faster. If you hold it in one place or move it too slow it will burn the wood. If it is having trouble stripping the wood multiple passes work better than being closer.
