BobInAustin Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Got my dad to help build this. My niece and nephew will be the ones using it so I knew he would want to have a hand in it. Spent two days doing all of it. First day we got everything done except shaping the legs, rounding over the box and top and assembly. It is raining here so no painting now and I am actually thinking about using this as a project to learn how to use a HVLP sprayer. I don't have one though so it would be an expensive experiment and I'm not sure how much I would really use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneymack Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Looks good Bob but a tad small for you and your dad As for an hvlp, if you build furniture you will always use it once you have it. Very small learning curve, fast and perfect finish everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wouldwurker Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 You guys look like giants! Great job on the build Out of curiosity, did you have a hard time understanding the part of the video with the 22" measurement on the leg from angle to angle? I eventually got it, but I must have watched it 30 times. +2 for the HVLP... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I messed something up there but the tops of the legs are all flush with the box and sit flat on the floor so I'm ok with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
