I will have to consult the Old Man on that one. I don't know if I have the skillz. Tiz easy.....Strip old finish with Zip Strip- just say "no" to sandpaper. Steam the dents up, whisker the wood , rub down with steel wool, start applying THIN coats of Antique Minwax or Tru-oil,go over with 4 ought steel wool between coats, keep adding coats till you are done( may take 20+) If its too shiny, rub with automotive rubbing compound, and finish by buffing with a clean rag. Voila! I a stock refinish project and need to ask.. What is whiskering the wood? Got any suggestions for lightening wood that has darkened from gun oil?
Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

When you strip the finish, or, if you sand, it will make wood fibre stand up like whiskers. You can't see it, but they are there. Lot of ways to get the whiskers gone. Some old timers use a smooth chunk of antler to take them down. Some will buff the wood. Lots of ways. I have to respectfully disagree with the Poobs on the steel wool thing. Anymore it seems to come apart and leave fibres in the finish. High quality 3M pads seem better, for me anyway. Not sure what to do about the oil soaked wood?

Boy, after a slow weekend you Micks really laid it out these last two days. Long ass work days-I'm too tired to hang much but I leave you with a couple. Not sure who to address this one to... Address it to me, she is a bit scungy but I am married so I have no pride left.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

And one for Ace when he gets off shift.. She'll probably air bag you...Taco Bell style. Yeah, I'd bang that, even with the airbag. Now if she tried to flip over on me and pull off a Spiderman, that would be a deal breaker.

Of course I know how to patch drywall

Morning Dickbeaters. Oh..alright....Morning also to the girls that visit the BTE. Don't want Jeff-Ho, Seabiscuit and Salvage98 to throw a hissy. Anyway, this t-shirt sorta shocked me......funnier than schit, but shocked me. Course I am just a naive little redneck from Idaho.......

I had to go there.. a certified blind man making an optics comparison is just too [bleep] funny to pass up.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...
