Furniture refinishing

Abstract

This project dealt with the problem of developing a teaching tool for use in conducting furniture refinishing workshops. The author produced a package program which includes a lesson plan, a slide-tape series showing detailed steps in refinishing furniture, a set of samples showing various finishes on several types of wood, posters and hand-out materials. In the process of producing the package program, a detailed plan of the development of a slide-tape presentation has been included. The slide series covers the following categories of furniture refinishing and repair: inspection of the article, removal of the old finish, removal of stains, replacement of broken parts, repair of veneers, raising of dents, filling of cracks, sanding, and the application of the new finish.
