The routine is the same—a delightful one for me.  I get to see the transformation of a rusty unworkable item into a dull metallic shiny usable one.  The turn from trash to useful in the spin of a brush, or scrape of my sandpaper.  Under my hand, they transform. 

I love refinishing stools.  They are useful, small, and something people can enjoy. Practical pieces.  Here's one I recently picked up, and the process of turning it around. 


Getting off the first layer of rust.  Makes a big difference.
