Hey man lookin good. Lookin forward to see how it turns out. I see the top piece is wood, is the rest MDF? Cant really tell by the pics on this screen. If wood how bout a nice shade of stain to accent the wood grain with a polyurethane? Am sure there is a better way but always liked the look of a nice shade of stain and the wood grain with the poly sheen on it. Last edited by JimmyR1rider; 02-08-2010 at 06:01 PM.. | |||

looks like you have a good stand starting up here. You're brave doing this on a 120. That's a lotta weight! I'm sure it will be fine though. As for your paint question, I used a high quality primer and a good coat of black enamel based paint. Should be fine if you're planning to paint it.
