Re: Antique/Industrial Shelf Project
I was so excited, because I had put on [what I thought was] the last coat on the bottoms yesterday. Flipped em over to revel in my creation, and what do I find? It dripped through, sat on the plastic, and created the glorious pattern you see here.
I wanted to frisbee-throw these bitches right off my third-story balcony. So angry!
But, calmed down, sanded them flat once again, and they are currently drying with [what better be] the now final coat. I painter's taped the bottoms where there were cracks, so hopefully everything turns out fine.

the biggest thing IMO that separates wood workers is their ability to hide/fix mistakes. What better way to learn! the painters tape is a great idea.

Yessir, and I think (read: hope) I recovered decently.

Ohhhh yesssssss. So smooth! I actually didn't want them so glassy lookin, but it had to be this way because of errors. Still looks good, I'm pretty proud of these.

This is pretty close to the actual color. So happy with 'em.

So here is a rough mock-up for those that couldn't really visualize my terrible description. Boards are holding the bottom because it's not super tight and sags. I would have put the bottom board on there, but I discovered that it doesn't fit after I tightened everything. Awesome! So I'll have to shave out notches on both sides of the pipes. Not a huge deal, but more stuff to do. I'm still a long way from complete.
