hi!
i was making a small entertainment unit for of thing in my woodwork class, and i have almost finished it.
however, i have almost finished year 10 so i have to apply a finish myself.
i was wondering if there were any good easy and cheap ways to finish a piece of furniture at home with no current supplies.
the timber used through out the whole piece is just pine wood.
thanks!

I had no idea the bottle of alcohol was left on my coffee table, but it leaked and there's a small Florida shaped stain/spot on my very dark wood coffee table. How can I fix it? A quick fix is fine for now, I'd rather not refinish the entire table top right now, maybe later. But I want to fix that spot for sure. Any ideas? Be specific please.

It's got a 4 inch diameter exhaust with a 3 inch hole in the wall. It's connected to the wall via a fashioned metal funnel and some flexible metal tubing.
I know that the exhaust probably can help get moisture away faster, but I feel like it doesnt get hot enough. I used a digital thermometer along with the shoe-drying rack to test how hot the dryer got on HIGH, and it made it up to 114 degrees F in about 15 minutes.
I definitely hear the internal furnace turning on.
This is a new sears kenmore dryer.

gorf1979 asked:
I "inherited" my mother's old dining room table, and the finish doesn't go with our new house. I am full confident I can sand/refinish it, as it is made out of real cherry wood. My problem?...the top of the table has a very thick coating on it. It is clear, but it doesn't allow watermarks to be left on the table and it resists heat.
Can this be sanded off with good results? Thanks!

We already have carpet on your stairs but want to keep it clean because it is a light color with a runner. All sites we've looked at show info on wooden stairs but not carpeted stairs. Any help out there?
