Same Basic Concept here guys making 2 ladders connected at the top with brass hinges. Simple design. Hope you enjoy the Pics and the Vid of me scraping the hell out of this wood lol

    WOW! im surprised you went to shaving off the paint. I have never done that, easy? I only ask because I would have taken an angle grinder with a flap disk to it, but honestly im digging the grooves that are made by that scrapper. Gives an old world feel.

      that's the only reason why i used the scrapper . i had sanded the first one i did and the grain came out really smooth. This one we wanted a more rustic look keeping some of the paint

      I kinda had the same question about sanding. My thought would be to use a belt sander. But then, it wouldn't show quite the same texture. But the final is after the Stain? Very solid. Did it do what you wanted it to do?

          Ive done a bunch of old wood renovation. I am a big fan of the scraper for quick removal of paint without damaging the wood. I paricularly like swedish Cabinet scrapers, You get them in a set of three sapes, so you can do curves and angles.
