| Post subject: | Building paint station - Advice please. |
Hello. I'm going to try and build a paint station this weekend. I've never done any wood work before but I would like to start with this rather than buying one so i get some practice before I try and build something for the game. I've got some 9mm chip board for the base which is quite light and very strong. For the handles, back and upper level I have some 4mm fiber board. I am planning to make it 400mmx250mm so it fits on a laptray but can be removed for use on a desk. I have wood glue to stick. I was going to cut out a few 1cm strips of chip board to use as support to run allong the inside of the back pannel and to make a shelf for the upper level. I have a drill to make holes for the brushes but am going to have trouble making a large enough hole for the cups. Files and sand paper to smooth the fiber board. Questoins... 1 - Will wood glue and some squares of support be enough without having to nail or screw? any tips? 2 - What can I use to smooth out the edges of the chip board? It needs some sort of coating but I dont want to use polly filler as I want it to be smooth. 3 - Cutting. I have a small tooth saw, a hack saw, hobby knife and stanley knife, but I dont think the knives will be any good for this project. I have no vice or mite block so all my cutting will be free hand. Any tips would be greatfully recieved. |

That wasnt really the sort of station I wanted and I didnt have the materials or tools in the vid. Ive had a go and am quite pleased with the result. I'll paint it tomo and try to post some pics. |
