Hi Manoj,
One of the things DIYers tell me they struggle with the most is getting a professional-looking finish on their woodworking projects.
They spend all this time carefully measuring, cutting, and assembling their project, but when it comes to finishes, they're often at a loss.
Saws on Skates is your source for everything you need to know about painting and staining your projects so you can get a professional-looking result every time.
Here are the top tutorials beginners turn to when they want to get a great finish on their projects:

How to Spray Polyurethane
Polyurethane is a durable finish that works well for projects like tables that see a lot of abuse. Polyurethane is:
- Resistant to oil, grease, and water
- Heat resistant
- Scratch-resistant
Despite all of the benefits, for me, it has always been a little tricky to apply with a brush.
I've switched to applying polyurethane with my paint sprayer, and I'm really impressed with the results.

Stain Wood With Coffee
I've been on a mission to use more natural products to finish my projects.
Making a coffee stain Is a natural way to color wood. A coffee stain is:
- Made with only two ingredients
- Easy to apply
- Gives wood a warm, caramel tone

Reduce Blotchiness
Have you ever stained a wood project and it looked patchy or blotchy?
It looks awful!
Some woods are difficult to stain. Pine is one of those woods.
One way to prevent blotchiness is to use a store-bought pre-stain conditioner.
But I don't use the store-bought stuff. Instead, I make my own conditioners that:
- Makes stains appear darker and richer
- Helps to reduce blotchiness
