What happens here
Begin by thoroughly sanding the entire surface of the end table to remove the old finish and create a smooth, prepared surface for the new coating. Use an orbital sander, such as the Ekasand 3x4, equipped with appropriate grit sandpaper. Ensure the sanding process is even across all surfaces. Connect a dust extraction system to the sander to minimize airborne dust. The video shows the use of a dust extraction hose connected to the sander.
Goal: Smooth and prepare the furniture surface for a new finish
