Refinishing cheap oak cabinets

21 years ago

Okay, all you woodworking genuiuses out there I have question for you. I am stuck with my cheap kitchen cabinets. Although I would love to rip them out and build a big fire out back and watch them burn, we have no money and therefore have no choice but to embrace them in all their tackiness and simply do what I can to make them more appealing. I would prefer to strip and restain them rather than paint. So here is my question (finally): The cabinets doors are not a solid wood piece, they are a wood frame with a thin wood panel in the middle. Can I strip this safely without raising the grain so badly that I ruin them? The doors have many angles in the "frame", what would be the best tool to get years of gook and gunk out of these tight spots? Thank everyone!
