Painting & Polish Work

We are over at the ground floor of Devakaran Mansion, which is at 8 New Thippasandra. The building is actually the Vachanamurudha Building on Vithaldas Road. It’s a bit of a long address to write down, but once you get here, it’s easy to see what we do. The shop is usually full of various wood pieces and cans of polish. We have been doing painting and polish work for a long time now. It’s a messy job, but someone has to do it. Our hands are usually stained with some kind of finish by the end of the day. We don't have a fancy showroom. It’s more of a workshop where we get things done. People bring us their old furniture, and we spend hours sanding and coating it. It’s hard on the back, but it is satisfying to see something look better when it leaves than when it arrived. We have a couple of guys who have been with us for years. We don't talk much while we work; we just listen to the radio and stay focused. Sometimes the smells from the varnish get a bit strong, so we keep the doors open for some air. It’s a humble place, and we aren't trying to impress anyone with big talk. We just focus on the wood and the paint and hope the customers are happy with the result. We work through the weekends often because that is when most people have time to drop off their chairs or tables.
