When you assemble your frames, attach the center beam last and stack them so they’re exactly the same. Then after attaching them to the decks, your frames should line up nicely.

Damn, you are so good and confident. I think, at least for anyway, you make it look way too easy 😂. If you make legs without a brace, it’s really easy. Adding the brace mainly for looks and some rigidity is the hard part. Equal angles of the boards is the hard part. You showed sanding down the leg rests to attain equal angles but not how you measure or equate the two leg angles. I’m a retired civil engineer and probably obsess on accuracy…😉

There are so many factors that can cause wonky legs. Frame isn’t square, bolt holes in the legs aren’t centered, bolt holes in the side rails aren’t exactly the same, even the width of the legs isn’t precise. My answer to all of these: jigs.

All collective videos are great! I just finished my second set. I’m in Reno NV, hot day temperatures and under 10% humidity. I now do my finishing in morning with temps under 70. I’ve used thinner coats but will have to try your heavier method so it stays fully wet before I stop brushing. I use Polycrylic. Any extra tips for such dry conditions? Is your brand of finish better? Thank you

Unlike Bond, always stirred, never shaken. Also, thinner coats, use a very dense foam brush or a firm dense bristle brush. The floppy foam brushes can lead to more bubbles. Never roll it in.

Once you get it finished with the stain do you need to seal it with anything to help protect it from weather if left outside? Also did you pull off the vinyl while the stain was wet or wait until it is dry. Just purchased my first set and wanting to put out initials (both of ours are the same once married) and use at our wedding.

Congrats! Definitely seal the set when all the decoration is done. Recommend water based sealer like Minwax Polycrylic or Rustoleum Parks Pro Finisher. Lots of coats. There are some videos I posted about finishing steps. You can pull the stencil right after staining or painting if you’re using gel stains or acrylic paint. No need to wait. You do need to let it fully dry before using the liquid clear coat.

@cornholecollective7116
@cornholecollective7116 3 ай бұрын
Staining over stain doesn’t work too well. Stains tend to “seal” the wood and the next coat smears a bit. It can be done if the first coat is really light and the next is very dark. I prefer to do the opposite, staining the dark image first let it dry a long while then stain the “background” and over top of the dark image.

I think you’re applying decals to a stained board, that’s totally fine. If you’re applying stencils as a mask to paint designs over a stained background, it’s best to poly first to protect the stained area. The mask can pull up some of the stained wood fibers when you remove it. Hope this helps!

@cornholecollective7116
@cornholecollective7116 9 ай бұрын
This is a tricky one because you’ll want to seal the board with poly and poly doesn’t adhere to glossy paint well. It might appear to hut in no time the layers over the glossy area will peel up and look terrible. The glossy paint doesn’t make a lot of sense considering the whole board will have to have the same sheen for the bags to slide right. I’d say use normal acrylic paint and glossy water based poly if you want them shiny.

Yes! If you have the time, this is the same as the poly-over method but without the poly. Some gel stains and environments have unpredictable cure times and the last thing you want is to smear the dark when you apply the medium or dark shade. It definitely works though when you have all those factors under control.

Great question, anything oil based is likely to yellow quite a bit. It also tents to be a lot slicker. Water based poly may not hold up well if you leave your boards outside but it works great for playability and is durable enough. Definitely the most common among builders.

Love these. Question about the friction blocks to keep the boards together. My support board is just off enough that the two boards don't match perfectly for the friction blocks the way you describe. Rather than fitting the blocks tightly on either side of the brace, would placing them further apart still achieve the same effect of clamping the boards together? I imagine the boards could slide a bit length-wide but they'd probably hold together for the most part. Not ideal but do you foresee a big issue? Thanks so much for all your videos.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
