Restore a piece of art.

For homework I have decided to restore a vintage outside tea table and chairs. The table and chairs were neglected and was growing moss, had prey mantis eggs all over it and had gone a dark lime green in some places, to fix this issue I had to carry the small table set over to my neighbors.

 There I water blasted the set, the moss slowly came of but took a very long time. On average it took 30 minutes to do one chair alone. I gradually finished the chairs and came to the table the table took 45 minutes, without hurrying the moss and the alge looking substance wore of the table. I then had to go back to the chairs and work on the paint I tried my hardest to get the paint off but sadly most did not I spent 5 minutes doing this before giving in to the tough paint. I then hunted around for a metal brush to scrap of the paint I sadly I didn't, luckily though my grandparents had 2 they happily gave me one and I got to work. I put my safety glasses on and scrubbed after about a while I stopped to see my progress there was barely any I told my dad and he looked at the table he began to show me a special technique that made the paint come off ten times faster. I did this for a couple of days (with breaks) and largo the paint .

I then moved on to the chairs scraping them back with the corse metal wired brush. I attempted to scrap back the rust of the bolts that connected the legs to the seat. With perseverance I succeeded the rust bit by bit flew off into the air. Soon after I wiped the seat down with the corse brush, the paint drifted off after a period of time then I shifted onto the legs, the legs were a lot harder than the rest  as they had curves and narrow gaps. The time didn't pass very fast while doing this diligent task it seemed like a life time after triumph hit and told me I had done three legs. I gracefully moved on to the forth leg, I stroked the chair leg with the bristly brush a looked at the work I had done the first chair and table were done all of the sudden terror struck I still had two more chairs to do. A day later I walked outside and got to work on the vintage table again, the progress went exceedingly fast before I knew it I was on the third leg I scrubbed away removing flakes of paint in the brushes path. I did the same on the third chair and hosed the set of with a hose to remove any flecks of paint that might have stuck to the table. I looked at my headway there was still lots of paint clinging on tightly to the aluminum. But that didn't matter as long as it wouldn't flake off after the new layer of paint went on. A month later I began painting. The reason it took so long was because I had to gather up a special paint, a 26mm paint brush, my dads assistance and the right sort of weather. I commenced painting with a special under coat. I painted the table and made sure that I started at the bottom so that I didn't accidentally bump my head on the top. I then worked on the top and came back to the dips in the metal and filled them in with more paint and then came to the holes in the and put paint in the corners. I then started on the chairs they were a pain as they had lots of small places that I had to get my brush around and in between. Eventually I came to the end of the tough project and put it on Trademe you can find it here Vintage Tea Table Set Trademe
