cleaning dining room table

I have a wooden dinning room table that is about 40 yrs old and it has a fog like film on it in a few areas. I think it might be from 40 yrs. of polishing with a spray on furniture polish. How do I clean it off without hurting the orginal finish of the table.
Thanks, John

Welcome to the forums!

You might try a little mineral spirits on a rag and see how it does. It should remove wax without harming the finish.

I'm looking for a new bedframe and came across this pretty slick frame by Lago, the Beam bed. [center][/center] Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find anywhere in the states that actually sells it so it's time to explore the option of building it myself. The biggest thing keeping me from just doing it is I am by no means a carpenter and it seems if I just threw it together it may be likely to just fall apart. Now, the obvious parts from looking at other pics is that there are two central pieces in the middle that hold the vertical boards in place... somehow. How would one go about making sure the base was stable? Also... what type of wood should be used for the vertical boards? MDF? I think this could be a fun project but at this point I don't know nearly enough to dare jumping into it so I am seeking some advice from the more knowledgable. Thanks in advance!Read More
