Had to shutdown for awhile the belt sander was getting to hot to hold with gloves on . Don't think i'll ever get done with this OLD house . Strippen all the trim work and god they must have used five trees in the trim work and the old varnish and stain is tough .

Be sure to save some of that for future transmission work.

On flat trim pieces a stationary drum sander would be the cats meow for what you are doing. Not sure if you can rent one locally... a lot of cabinet and wood working shops would have one as it saves planer blades on heavy material removal operations.

Vet,

Are you removing the boards and sanding on a flat table? Or sanding in place (Ouch)?

I sanded all my kitchen cabinets with a belt sander by taking the doors off and doing them on a flat surface was much easier. Also red oak that someone coated with the darkest stain I've ever seen. It took several weeks to finish them all (at night after work).

Yes, but just think how good it will look when you are all done! At least you are working with REAL wood. My house was built in 1958, has been remodeled a couple of times, and now most of the trim work is made of imitation plastic.

Yea it is real wood alright , Red oak 1 inch thick the window trim boards are a full 5 inches wide along with the door way trim then around all of the windows there is a L molding that was made from best i can figure 1 1/4 stock then there is the base boards full 10 inches wide plus the 2 inch wide bevel that sets on top of it then the 1/4 round that was made from 2 inch stock . Staining with Minwax red oak and then it is getting a total of 5 coates of satin poly. This old wood sucks up the stain like i suck up C/R and V/O and the grain is outstanding . One of these days i'll get one of them thar fancy camras and post some picture of the office as it is done up in the 2150 red and the cream with the dark wood and chair rail.

How many belts have you gone through? I did that on some of the trim in my house and it was a pain.

Well lets put it this way it is taken two 80 grits per board on the 5 inch wide stuff and i can get thru 4 of them with the 120 and Homer Depot can not keep enough of the 5 pac's on hand as soon as they come in i go in and wipe them out then it off to lowes and do the same thing. The finish sanding is done with my littel palm sander and 220 one sheet pre board been buying all the sheet papaer in the ream of 100 sheets for two bucks more then the big box store want for a 20 or 25 pack. It has been taken about a 1/16th off to get down under the old stain .

I'm in the same boat. We've tried some of the high $$ strippers. It appears as though they work good on the 1980-1950 era paints, but the original stuff put on when the house was built in the 00's-20's is tough stuff.

have you tried Grizzly Industrial for your belts? If you're using that many, they might save you some $$. Am planning a trip down there this summer to pick up a table saw. Just got their summer flier yesterday, but had to hang it out on the line to let the drool dry today.

We tore down my Grandparents big ole victorian house in 1976, the foundation was bad and it would have taken a fortune to have saved it. We didn't even bother to save the door trim and baseboards. Wish I had. It was really ornate stuff, I can still picture it, but hard to describe. The doors, at the top corners, had a square of trim with concentric circles milled into them. Oh well, just didn't know then.
