What home improvement work did you do today?

Both are mild abrasives, but I haven't tried the magic eraser yet.

 

My quick go-to level for doing wife stuff is an old plastic 12" that resides in a bottom cabinet drawer.
The bigger ones hang on the wall.

I decided to look for something magnetic I could slap to the side of the tool chest and purchased this.

$40 PREXISO 2-in-1 Laser Level 12 in Spirit Level with Light, 100Ft Alignment Point & 30Ft Leveling Line, Magnetic Laser Leveler Tool for Construction Picture Hanging Wall Writing Painting Home Renovation

PREXISO 2-in-1 Laser Level 12 in Spirit Level with Light, 100Ft Alignment Point & 30Ft Leveling Line, Magnetic Laser Leveler Tool for Construction Picture Hanging Wall Writing Painting Home Renovation - Amazon.com

It has 2 lasers, a dot and a line, it also will illuminate the spirit levels if needed.
One side is magnetic with a groove on the magnetic end for attaching to metal pipes.

Not bad for $40...........

 

Refinished a 25 year old kitchen table that was in need.
Sanded off the old finish, down to the naked wood.
Instead of stain, I used a roofing torch to darken the wood and bring out the grain.
... and several coats of poly.

 

That looks awesome, nice work.
What brand and finish of poly sealer did you use?

 

Spreading yards of mulch........someone make it stop.

 

Minwax Polycrylic - satin finish

 

That's pretty sweet. Thanks for sharing

 

what a transformation! I wasn't expecting such a dramatic result. Looks great, thanks for sharing!

 

Looks great! Now I wish I'd had a torch when I did a similar job about 6 or 7 years ago. I just went with stain. Then we had a kid who beat it up by banging his spoons against it when he was learning to eat solid food...so I've accepted I won't have a nice dining table for a few more years, not until both my boys are older.
