Re: Bed Wood

thank you!

don't laugh but all tools came from harbor freight in lees summit..

visiting the family farm from ca, had to be quick and cheap since I have all the tools here already..

sander, sawzall, pneumatic cutoff wheels, angle grinder etc. some of which are also on the farm possibly somewhere but to save time.....

stands had quick adjustable legs and holes in the top to screw the board extensions to them..

I extended their reach with some 1x4, would use 1x6 next time, finish ran down and stuck them together and wrecked the foam pads..

I drove a series of finish nails in a pattern to space the boards so I could coat both sides same day..

and two nails in the end of each board to do the flip without touching anything..

did have to do some serious sanding between epoxy and spar varnish, that epoxy is hard stuff!

the varnish I only sanded the following day before coat 4 and I wet sanded, came out like glass..

6th coat had a little orange peel but turned out super glossy..

as I have been told by the JD tech guys and a family friend and lifetime cabinet maker, the glossier the hardier..

the stands from HF https://www.harborfreight.com/foldab...rse-69059.html

also apparently available from amazon? https://www.amazon.com/COLIBROX-New-.../dp/B079KLLKSV
