French Doors

I've spent the past few days, invested about 6 hours into a couple of French doors that had a nice stain on one side and white latex paint on the other. I've been using a combination of a heat gun and scraper to get paint off and also some orange gel paint remover. The gel works well after I've got the top layer of paint or stain off.

French door with stain partially removed, will still sand it to remove the stain and scratches.

I also took a break to see what I could do with the heat gun and an old vinyl record I have.
