- Nice project, Doug. Very professionally done! I've been thinking about building one of these myself. Do you have any tips or problem areas that would I should be aware of? What size did you make and

- Very nice Doug! Looks great painted. I built mine many years ago based on the plans TP Tools sells (but I just made my own after looking at pictures in their catalogs). Mine has wooden legs, I used 1

- I used the paint that was lying around: Grey latex floor paint outside, and white oil floor paint inside. I used 3/4" plywood, and it is indeed heavy, but it has those adjustable plastic-tipped appli
