    Polishing a turd

    Stool is an apt name, cause it looks like shit.

    Goal is to make presentable with stuff I have on hand. Black vinyl for seat, red paint for metal.

    Didn't take sanding pix. Hit it with 120 grit, wiped down and primered.

    Thanks Daniel. Not happy that I had to do folds in vinyl, but still looks way better than it did.
