Book Reviews of The Weekend Refinisher

Book Review: Well-written book with invaluable how-to checklists
Summary: 5 Stars

Bruce Johnson's book got me through it all. This book is very well-written explaining what techniques to use and all the materials you need to buy to do a good job refinishing furniture. The book takes you through making small repairs, removing old finish, staining, putting a protective coat on, and preserving the finish. Johnson has a helpful, humorous tone throughout telling about refinishing errors he made and how readers can avoid them.

The most invaluable part of the book is that each chapter ends with a list of the materials you need to perform each step of the refinishing process. I took the book with me to my local Home Depot when shopping; I kept the book in a plastic bag nearby me when I was working on the chest for "what-do-I-do-now?" guidance. Thanks to Johnson, I found I could remove bad waterstains from the top of the chest with simple household bleach.

I finished my chest of drawers in 3 weekends and it looks so good my husband is promising to fold his underwear so it won't stick out of the drawers anymore!
