I posted 10 days ago and got some really good advice on what to do, I decided to just give it a go myself and here's how things have turned out (I stripped the paint!)

It's been really difficult but I'm getting there.

Process has been:

1. Paint stripper (paint panther, I used paint predator first but panther is way better)

2. Scrape - this left a really sticky residue which I assume might be the varnish?!

3. Wire wool and white spirit - scrub lightly

4. More paint stripper on stubborn areas and nooks and use a smaller scraper for those.

I just wanted a bit of advice:

1. The wood seems stained, is there any way to lift this?

2. How do I get into those nooks and crannies to make it look neater?

Feeling proud of myself 😂 it's been a slog!!
