Just starting out
#1

So other then a woodshop class in junior high about 30 years ago I have no practical experience with wood working but I want to learn as I have a number of floor model cabinets that I’d like to put new life into.

With that said, where do I start when beginning to renew/refinish a piece?  What tools and equipment do I need and what’s the general process from old piece of junk to beautifully refinished piece?

Is there a reference somewhere where you can punch in Philco part numbers and see what models those parts were used in?Jim Dutridge — 10:17 AM

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM
