Painting desk: Day 4
Construction is done! Needs paint for the top unit and stain/polyurethane for the base. I've found some old (but sturdy) marker holders that fit my tools beautifully and can be dropped into the supply bin.
It certainly is beautiful, and, oh yes, it IS heavy. The top is four layers of 1/2-inch MDF. Charlie based the construction off the same plans as his own workbench. But I wanted heavy so that the desk wouldn't move around while I painted. (I prop my hands and arms against my desk when I paint.)
I paint both standing and sitting. And I do have a stool and an old wobbly chair that each fit the new table. I had the table made high as a compromise, so that I can either sit or stand while I paint.
what a beautiful desk. Looks heavy as well.

ReplyDeleteDo you tend to paint standing up, or do you have a stool that you'll be using?
ReplyDeleteLooks great by the way! I'm jealous!
