I find that stripping before I sand leaves me with more sanding dust on me than when I do it fully clothed…😁😁😁 Sorry, you said strip a few times and my brain just does that sometimes!

I find myself painting knobs and pulls fairly often, so I drilled a grid of holes in a piece of scrap ply that I could easily attach all the pulls and knobs to, as well as space at the side for running screws if needed. I left room on one edge to be able to hold it up to be sure I’m getting all the sides and it has come in very handy many times! I usually spray paint outside, so knowing things are secured in case of random inspections by my two cats really helps. 😁
@BuildingInASmallTown18 күн бұрын
That’s a great idea!! For whatever reason, I’ve been lucky with not having to paint many screws. I’m definitely keeping the board I drilled all the pilots in 😅🤷🏼♀️

I didn't work in food service, a foot traffic biz, until middle aged, mostly year round labor, I never knew how much weather, mood, like in Nebraska, if the team wins, or if it's an away game, etc, etc, the normies are fickle,ha!, and build community, your regulars loyalty gets you through downturns, during COVID, the bakery traffic plummeted, but they had community, and the few customers would buy for all the regulars who couldn't walkin, they just did it, it buffered the hard time, thx!

The legs were solid wood, but I felt like it would look really weird to have wooden legs and a painted top. So, this is what I went with!
