Did you removed some of the bottom paint?  If so what is your secret?

Thank you for all of the compliments.  As far as the bottom paint is concerned, I tried cheating with paint removers, but had to go back to 80 grit on a palm sander.  I hate it, it takes to long, but that is the best option.

 Have you tried "Easy Off" oven cleaner?
A member was touting its virtues in cleaning the paint off very easily.
Never had bottom paint so I have no experience but you can give it a try.
