   Stan,

     I can highly recommend a VCR tape on the subject:  Repairing Furniture, by Bob Flexner.    GP

   You might want to take a look at "The Weekend Refinisher" by Bruce Johnson.  It's a practical guide to repairing and refinishing (or restoring) furniture, written with good organization and enough anecdotes to make it fun to read.  Paperback, $10.00 about 8 years ago when I picked it up.

   I have a friend named Ed that does this very thing for a living. He might even be lurking around right now. He has a shop in Santa Rosa, Ca. Would you like to touch bases with him. He's really a great person and willing to offer a lot of advice if he likes you. He's a little shy until after the second beer but I think I can talk him into giving you a few pointers.Steve - in Northern California

   f_g, that was meant for Stan, but I can't introduce you to him also if you'd like. I thought he was a member of this forum but he's not. I'll try to get by his shop on Monday and see whats up. Steve - in Northern California

   Hi Steve, thanks for the clarification -- felt like I had missed something there for a second.  Sounds like he'd be a good person for Stan to meet.  Hope he stops by these boards some day. :)
