I woke up early Saturday and started to take apart one more skid in the backyard. I called Papa B to come bring his saw and cut some wood for me. I stained this headboard on Saturday, and then spent all day Sunday sealing it. As of now this is still in the shed, and hopefully the strong chemical smell will air out today, so I can bring this bad boy into the house.
Screwing the boards together. I lost power on my drill so a quarter of these were screwed in by hand until Pops came by with his drill |
All screwed in, and trimmed |
Sanded by hand. I left the power sander at the folks place, and I was too lazy to go back and get it so I just sanded it by hand. |
Stained |
A day after staining. Putting together the final pieces. |
Ready for the clear coat. |
First clear coat. |
My hand after countless splinters while sanding. |
After the second coat |
In honour of the 40th anniversary of this classic, Apollo will be showing Taxi Driver tonight! I am pretty fired up as I really love this movie. Everyone seems pretty busy with lame crap so it looks like I will be going solo, which is kind of the best way to see this movie in a theatre. Travis style.
Here is the final art for my Pittsburgh road trip mix. April Ghouls here I come!
