Finishing Essentials

The finishing process can be intimidating. With so many hours invested in a project, it feels as though one false move while finishing can undo all your hard work.

That’s why we created this class. Your instructor, George Vondriska, will demystify finishes that are common in the marketplace, help you understand which finish is best for your projects, and provide great preparation and application tips that will help you achieve a better finish.

THE FINISHING PRODUCTS

In this class, we intentionally use finishing products that are readily available at home centers. No exotic finishes or obscure techniques – you’ll find that the approach taken in this class is very mainstream. That makes our instruction accessible, and makes it easier for you to realize success with your finishing processes.

With the wide array of products and application tips shown in this class, you’re sure to find a few that work with your projects, your shop, and your approach to woodworking.

TECHNIQUES

This class concentrates on techniques that will be easy for you to use. Cotton rags, cheese cloth, home center off-the-shelf brushes, aerosol finish… It’s how you use these items that is most important, and we’re here to teach you. With our application techniques in hand you’ll be more confident about choosing stains and top coats, and finding the best application method for each.

MORE THAN VIDEO

In addition to the hands-on video instruction you’ll receive, this class provides you with some downloadable and helpful resources to print and keep, including a detailed Class Guide as a recap of the key points of the class instruction – you’ll find this very helpful as you decide which finishes to use, and create your finish shopping list. Also, you’ll get a Class Resources document that will give you information on the products you’ll see in the Class.
