Professional Power Tools and Tips: Open Question: How to remove black paint from wooden furniture? and more...

In my dining room we have cupboards, seating bench, table and chairs and display cabinets all hand built and fitted. Its great quality and I really like it except thats it black. I know its going to be a long hard job but it makes the room look small being so dark and I know it would look amazing if I could just get it to a natural wood finish but I dont know the best way to do it. Should I just sand it back? I'm worried the black will have sunk into the wood and I would have to sand too much which would ruin it as there is bevelling on some of the doors and edges. Any ideas how to get black painted wood back to its orginal glory?

Open Question: How to replace a hollow core door?

I need to replace a hollow core door that is 28" wide and 80" tall. I am looking at them online to buy tomorrow to install and it looks as if the doors do not come with holes already in them. Will i have to drill the holes for the door knob out myself? If so what kind of tools do I need for this?
