Table Leaf Blueprints How Do I Restore A Second-hand Double Leaf-table?

How do I restore a second-hand double leaf-table? - table leaf blueprints

I've recently bought a table with the aim of restoring it - a project if desired. However, the surface of water bodies and scratches was damaged.
Previously, polished, and I would say is 30 years.
Is it the sand and dark again with a glaze finish similar to what it was originally?
I have a grinder, and I wondered whether I do it by hand?

Thank you.

I have a lot of experience back to the old furniture finishing, I primarily paint strippers, sand the notches and the next watermark. Depending on the number of loops so that it properly, I would take a sander at the hand of a neighbor or friend or a long time and do it by hand.

Sanding by hand is a long process, but if it will be good. I did it several times and finally the sentence. I want to leave some of the watermark, such as grinding a part of the high and low points in the table. In addition, it gives you character. I do not want to paint, but really all up to a cop ..
Perhaps you could find a cheap orbital sander to the hardware store and make it easier to take on the contours of the legs, one has built by hand. When you load the first layer of 40-60 mixture of 40% thinner and 60% polyester. This will seal the top, then a layer or two of the poly-line. and between the layers of sand with 400 wet dry sand or abrasive enough to remove dust that can happen.

I have the same problem, and a man who does not like I never told him to work the sand. He said that running the first tape and then take the steel wool and go with the wood grain. You can leave deep scars, but according to the stain and then set the table are not visible scar and can they really be looking for the rustic look, but not the junkie. Good luck
