DIY- 75g 2x4 stand!

Oh yes definitely. This drill won't stay running. It's charging again. Next time I buy a drill it's gonna have 2 spare battery's

 

[Brookster123]

Oh yah, 2 batteries is a must!

 

[jwh0818]

What do you think about this? Definitely not screwed in yet l but gettin there

 

[Brookster123]

I'd really feel better seeing some 45 degree diagnol bracing man, that's a lot of uneccessary wood in the middle, could you make this happen? Cuts can be square, just keep everything tight into a corner.

 

[jwh0818]

Yeah ill see what I can do!

 

[jwh0818]

How's this bro

 

[Brookster123]

I think that should work!

 

[jwh0818]

Well here it is. I'm gonna add the OSB tomorrow after I talk to my wife. This is how it's gonna be and I'm gonna wrap it later and add 2 doors! What do you think? I'm gonna add some support to the top as well

 

[Brookster123]

Nice man!! You happy with it?? So osb on top? Couple angle braces in there too? You jump up and down on it? Feel sturdy?

 

[jwh0818]

I could drive my car onto this thing! I love it! Yes I'm adding bracing but first I'm gonna cut a shelf for the bottom somehow! That's gonna be tricky! Yes just osb and I'm gonna seal it of course

 

[Brookster123]

Can you get your hands in a jig saw? Or buy a cheapie hand saw? Get a piece of cardboard and make a template and trace it on the osb!

That's smart bro! I was gonna get home depot to cut it 48 1/2 by 18 1/2 and I was gonna bring it home, lay it on the top, look under it and draw an outline! I'll see if I can get a saw but remember I can't cut plywood worth a crap!

 

[Brookster123]

Tracing would work just as well! The cuts will be small, notches only.. You got that.. All dayyy

 

[jwh0818]

Haha dude you should have seen the 100 sheet of 3/4 inch wood I messed up. I don't remember what wood it was but wow I messed it up!

 

[jwh0818]

Gonna pick up the osb tomorrow. I'm gonna look for the nicer ones of it and seal it in with a clear coat. I think it will have a sharp look after I add the wrap and doors

 

[jwh0818]

It's coming along!

 

[Brookster123]

Nice!! Looking almost done haha!

 

[jwh0818]

Here it is! Still need to screw more screws into it but that's it.

Also gonna wrap it in that wood. It's Birchwood

 

[Brookster123]

Sweet! Birch is real nice with a clear coat, light stain looks pretty sharp too..

 

[jwh0818]

I'm gonna paint the osb black on the shelf and just clear coat the birch. I may even take the spare birch and lay it on top of the osb shelf for a much nicer look. I'm very please with it for now. The birch sheet is 25$ so that's not bad. I just don't have a nail gun to put it on and add trim
