You need a can of stripper with an ethylene chloride base and gloves. You need a mask, if you are allergic to anything or to mask yourself from vapors. Of course you need a paint brush to apply the finish

with, a scraper to take it off with, and steel wool to take it off with. You want to strip furniture in the morning when it is cool. If you try it in the afternoon, the stripper will evaporate quicker than you can use it. You need a place to dispose of the materials that you take off. A lot of towns have rules on that now. You need sand paper and a lot of patience. Do not try to strip an entire piece at one time; you do a little section at a time because stripper is volatile and it evaporates quicker than you can do a large section.
