No because it's still not completed yet. Ran into a matching problem with the stain which I'm still trying to resolve.

Are you familiar with "OCD" ?

Not familiar. He's the definition.

hahah if it wasn't going right next to window trim I wouldn't care that much about it. But I'd kinda like it to match.

 

But I can't find anyone to mix me the stain I already have so I might just have to wing it. ohhh well

It's a bird, it's a plane, no wait................

 

It's still not done??

Update:

 

Cutting trim pieces, have ran into a small problem that needs to be worked out. Hopefully i can post some pictures when I get back from vacation.

Figured out the problem, found a solution and all the trim is now cut for the top part of the bench. All I need to do is glue and nail the trim on, then i can finish prep and stain.

 

YAYYYYYY

Should have it finished a week after I get back from vacation. Literally all I have to do is nail the trim on, finish prep, and stain and clear.

 

I havn't decided how many coats of clear I want to use yet. hmmm

Did he get rid of his GF or something?

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Bench is getting stained tomorrow morning.

 

Finished up all the wood puttying tonight.

 

Drill the mounting holes and spaded out the holes so the mounting nuts sit flush.

 

All that's left to do is stain and poly.

Looks like a first class job. Very nice

You've got 6 days Matt - 6 days before my prediction of 3 more weeks is accurate...

HAHA it may be close to that because I don't have the poly yet, and I'm away this whole weekend.

Got the first coat of stain on this morning and I am not too thrilled with this gel stain. Definitely wont use this stuff ever again. But the color is nice I must say.

 

Second coat goes on tomorrow morning, then one day next week I'll start polying.

First coat of poly is drying.

 

Pictures to come shortly

First coat of Poly is on, waiting for it to finish drying before I start to sand.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking

It's coming along really nice, Matt. Good job

Not done yet Matt? 3 weeks - I was spot on...

It looks great. You better get it out of the dinning room before it become a bar.

Yeah, look at all the boose in the backround! Holy Guacamole, you must be a lush! jk

 

The set up is coming along Matty, good luck.

It's a bird, it's a plane, no wait................ It's still not done.

Paint some lines on it and we can get some shuffleboard going at Matt's house.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Matt, that bench is lookin awesome. Now you kind of have me thinking of a new project...

Matt:

 

I've downloaded your photos so I can use them to help me with my bench. I am using a counter top with a backsplash rather than plywood. Any advice based on building a bench based on your experience?
