https://ThriftDiving.com – Strip furniture back to its natural wood. All furniture shouldn’t be painted! This $40 drafting table from the thrift store was solid oak and was stripped and sanded for a blonde oak finish with liming wax and wax polish. See how I converted it into a DIY garage workstation and added colorful caster wheels!

love these furniture revivals do more!
Thank you for sharing how to strip and wax a table! As I'm getting into doing this myself, its so nice to see more women of color doing this type of work ourselves! That said, I was really sad to see you take apart what makes it a beautiful drafting table. Especially after you said they were in your top 3 favorite things. I can appreciate that you love solid wood furniture, though. I will also admit that the wheels weren't my personal style, I might have spray painted them black. BUT if it looks good to you and you love it - rock it! Its your garage! :) Some people's comments are unnecessarily rude, but those kinds of people are unhappy, YOu can share a disagreeing opinion without being mean. So I hope you don't let them get you down. Thanks for the video!
a heavy table (formerly known as 'drafting table') needs heavy duty casters. I would have left the metal sleeves at the bottom of the feet, they have a great look, and added rotating casters instead. You have the embedded nuts in the bottom of the legs so you can find casters with threaded studs and screw them in easily. I know you were excited to use those plastic casters on something after finding them, but .... maybe put them on a hamper in the bedroom instead?
Does the finish you used protect from water spills?
The natural look is to die for, im seriously in love with that shade
I wish I had found that drafting table, I need one just like that
Dear lord... And it was such a nice table too lol
I just picked up a 1920's Keuffler and Esser "popular style" drafting table that I'm restoring. I'm obsessed with them.
