/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1452709
Today I'll begin work on the legs. And then I'll be going back over the entire thing with 240grit to get it silky smooth before varnishing.

The table is confusing. Despite the good build quality, whoever originally coated it was drunk or eating paint chips. The bottom part of the table was so thickly coated with lacquer that it was wearing out discs of 60 grit paper on my orbital, so I ended up sperging out and getting some 40 grit (despite my initial concerns about coarse paper damaging the wood), which just about got through it.

It was like they were happy with the half assed job they'd done with the rest of the table and then decided to call it a day by spilling an entire bucket of lacquer all over the damned thing.
