Working With Wood Continued
I'm going to use Minwax stain on this project.
|
|
 |
This stain is oil based and stinks
pretty bad so applying it outside is a must.
|
|
 |
I had some polyurethane left over from a previous project so I'm going
to use here.
|
|
 |
I applied two coats of clear in the garage to keep the amount of dust
and dirt to a minimum. This stuff is water based so it's easy on the
nose.

Working With Metal
While the clear was drying, I started working on the adjustable shelf
pins. I had these 1/4" diameter rods in my scrap bin and thought they
would work well for this.
|
|
I cut them 1 1/4" long and then machined them on my lathe. I also put a
small chamfer on each end along with removing the black oxide coating
with some sandpaper.

|
It's Finished
Here it is all finished.
|
|
 |
Remarkably, the top surface is pretty flat now so all that messing with
the clamp and jack made a difference.
|
|
 |
If you look close, you can see my brand near the bottom/center.
|
|
 |
I'm not sure where the shelves will end up but they are easy to adjust.
