DIY 120 Stand

[Doc_Polit]

The primer is done and, man, I am glad that is over with.

Before I primed, I decided to build the removable panel that will form the front of the stand.

I used a frame of fir 2x2's and then glued and brad nailed a 1/2" oak plywood panel to it.


Here is a closer look.


Although the panel will be held in place by rare earth magnets, I flush fitted it for this photo.


That's all for now. Paint goes on the interior tomorrow.

Thanks for the great feedback!

I am really enjoying this project. I just may have to build a matching canopy.

Thanks! The paint is on the interior and drying as we speak.

I'll post updated pics once I make some more progress.

Cool stand.

Cool stand.

Thanks a lot!

I made a little more progress over the last 2 days so time to update.

The interior, top frame and back of the stand were sealed with a coat of Behr Premium Plus Interior Enamel Undercoater, Sealer and Primer. Then I added 2 coats of Behr Premium Plus Interior/Exterior Porch & Floor paint tinted to a shade called "Brazil Nut". It should go really nicely with the brown tones being applied to the exterior trim.


I also added peel & stick floor tiles to the deck that will hold my sump filter.


Once the tiles were down, I again lined the perimeter with Mono Ultra caulking to add to the water resistance. Here is a closer look.


Then it was time to begin exterior finishing. I hand sanded the oak inserts and door panel with 180 grit sand paper and removed the dust with a damp rag. Once dry, I applied 1 coat of Varathane "American Walnut".


Here is a look at one side insert.


And here is the door panel so far.


Both side inserts and the door panel will get a second coat of stain later today.

That's all for now.
