I have watched the video a couple of times and I think I can do this. However, I am trying to create a Tiktok affiliate account and it keeps stopping me. Says not enough followers, I have 600. Do I log out of that account and try to create a totally new one? Or do I post on my regular account and then because of the video I grow my followers? I truly believe this will work for me!!! Thank you so much! Sirena

This is good, but it might be a little over-engineered. 3/4" ply is a bit much, and adds a ton of weight and cost. You could get by with 1/4 or 1/2" OSB as your substrate, then use a hardwood edge, rabbeted to allow you to use one piece and overlay the corner. Some might not have the tools to do a rabbet, so your method works great. And, a roundover on your inside edge would reduce any damage from chair wheels rolling up against it. Nice work.

¼ is too thin for some people, me for example. The carpet it goes on just can't handle it and the weight that goes on it. ¾ worked very well for me. It'll depend on the use.

@fredb1973 7 ай бұрын

Thing is 3/4 might be a little thick, but it's not as popular size as a 1/2 so a lot of times 3/4 will be cheaper to buy than 1/2.

Is it possible to use a 4 X 8 sheet of hardboard from Home Depot? I'ts actually hard, and you can cut a sheet in half and have two floorings for the chairs?

@danieldaponte1819 2 жыл бұрын

I'd imagine a sheet of hardboard isn't hard enough to replace the plywood. It is basically the same material that a clipboard is made of, if that helps you imagine it. It could probably replace the wooden flooring panels though

@Ontario_Voyager 2 жыл бұрын

I would think that hardboard might work if the carpet is not too thick (ie is low pile). If plush (high pile) carpet and when the chair rolled it might be a bit "wobbly". I've got engineered hardwood left over and am deciding between 1/4" or 7/16" OSB for under it. The 7/16" might make the overall height a bit too high though. Still thinking.

@lostinmyspace4910 2 жыл бұрын

I already have a pretty hard chair mat but a wheel finally wore thru it and is cracking in that spot. I will keep the old chair mat i place, and cut a hardboard sheet exact size and put it on top so it has a flat support. That may work pretty good for a few more years. THUMBS UP!!!

do you worry about wood movement when attaching the brackets to the top? ie. directly screwing into the wood top as opposed to another fastening system?

@obscurityworks5933 3 жыл бұрын

Maybe if I was putting them somewhere where the humidity and temps swing wildly. My basement is pretty consistent year-round. But, even then, there's a bit of room for movement in the bracket holes. In the 18 months they've been in use (I built another of these), there have been zero issues.

I have seen people on KZbin use 1:1 ratio of the boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits, but not add the oil based polyethylene. What does adding that into the mixture do? I’m very green when It comes to finishes so please forgive me if this is a dumb question. Also, is that combo good for both interior and exterior wood projects? Thank you!

@obscurityworks5933 3 жыл бұрын

The linseed oil is more of a soak in kind of finish and the poly sits on top. Things finished with just linseed oil aren't super-well protected from spills, etc. and poly does a better job on that end of things.
