What tools do I need for upcycling furniture?

You'll need some basic tools like a sander, paintbrushes, a screwdriver, and a staple gun. Do you have any specific projects in mind?

I'm thinking of turning an old chair into a bench. What else should I consider?

For a chair-to-bench project, you might also need wood glue, clamps, and possibly some new upholstery fabric. Are you familiar with using these tools?

Not really, can you explain how to use a sander?

Sure! A sander is used to smooth surfaces. Start with coarse sandpaper to remove old paint, then switch to finer sandpaper for a smooth finish. Always sand in the direction of the wood grain.

Thanks! Any tips on painting the bench?

Absolutely! Make sure to clean the surface first, use a primer for better paint adhesion, and apply multiple thin coats for a professional finish.
