Well it is finished and has taken up residence in our new kitchen - I'll post a photo tomorrow. Used a Danish oil finish. I'm very happy with it.


All help much appreciated!

Cheers fellas.

What grits should I be using? So far I have carefully used a 40 grit / belt sander. Obviously the belt sander is quick and I'll continue using it but what grits should I be using?...

Guys I', well into this now, have degreased, removed the grime and some surface though I've managed to retain some of the character. Down to the last couple of sands.

What I my options for finish,...

Thanks, some good ideas there.

Now the glass is an interesting one - I'll look into it.

Hi Tony

Certainly keen to hear your opinion as it sounds like you have experience with these sort of things. Like I said, my wife has swayed me in the direction of keeping the character so that is...

Thanks Aussie
Won't be used for food preparation but will be used as a breakfast bar. It is very stable, and yes I'll be keeping the cast iron legs as is. It's pretty low but we were thinking of...

Water in the photo was from the hose after I'd given it a wash. 30 years of no action and dust.

Surface is not rotten but oil has penetrated in some parts. Lots of holes (as a kid I would drill through it for fun), but not many dents.

Yeah sorry about the photo! Will get a better one later. Kitchen is modern but this will be a contrast. Btw, not blustery, just a crap camera. Adelaide is pretty hot too!

Hi all

I'm new around here!

I'd like to restore this old workbench (was my father's) which would become the main bench in our new kitchen. I was told the timber is likely Tasmanian Oak.
