Recently, I’ve been practicing with the paint sprayer and I’m surprised by the good results that can be achieved. I haven’t quite got the hang of it yet, but I think with a bit more practice, I’ll banish the brush to small jobs. The sprayer takes much less time and the finish is much better. Painting a piece of furniture with a brush is a boring and sometimes difficult job for me. I know I am supposed to love DIY, but I confess that what I enjoy most is working with wood. So, I thought a rotating platform would be very helpful when painting my woodworking projects.
To paint with the sprayer, you have to move around the furniture a bit or move the furniture itself, so I think this platform, which I can easily turn with my foot, will help me paint without having to run around the furniture and trip over the compressor hose. The best part is that this rotating base is very easy to make.
To make this rotating platform, you need some boards (in my case, I’m going to do this project with pallet wood that I got after disassembling a pallet), some nails, a piece of pipe, and some castors. I make it square, so I measure the total width of six boards together, and that is the length I cut the boards to.
Sanding them a bit, giving them a protector, stain, and varnish is a good way to make some wooden slabs for the garden or terrace.
It might be better not to paint it. This rotating base will pick up color each time I use it.
