    I'd be looking at a well-tuned cabinet scraper. If the varnish is flaking the scraper will take it off easy and leave a surface you don't need to sand.

    If it's got mouldings, try a combo paint scraper on those and then a flap wheel.

    Been down the chemicals route. Lot of work.
    Cheers, Ern
