DIY Chair Restoration

Both chairs that I’m restoring both need to be sanded back before I can paint them - one is covered in a thick layer of green paint and the other has some old varnish. The chairs will need to be stripped back to their raw wood in order for the paint to go on easily. 

For the chair that’s painted green, I’m going to use a sanding tool with a coarse grit on the sanding surface (I’m using an 80 grade grit) to make a nice, easy job of removing the paint.

For the second chair, I’m going to sand it back by hand using something a bit lighter – just a piece of 120 grade grit paper over a sanding block.

The power sander is great for getting lots of paint off quickly, but you'll need to switch to hand sanding to get into the smaller nooks of the chair. 

Once you've removed as much of the paint/varnish as possible, get a piece of light sandpaper (around a 180 grade grit) and wrap it around your sanding block. Give the chairs a thorough once-over to make sure that they are nice and smooth. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Save Web Files Instantly Saves Online Files to the Cloud

Generally speaking, if you want to save a file from the internet to a service like Dropbox, Google Drive, or Skydrive, you have to download it to your computer first, then upload it into cloud storage. Save Web Files is a simple webapp that cuts out that middle step.

All you need to do is enter the URL of the file you want to download, and click the cloud storage service you're using. Save Web Files does the rest without downloading the file to your computer. This comes in handy when you're on a machine you can't download files to, or when you just don't want to waste the time downloading and then uploading a file.
