Great work!! Paint color did you use again.

Thank you! It was called “Natures Gift” by Behr and also “Simply White.”

This is a really tasty job - we'll done! I'm thinking of something like this for my home bar for the TV wall

[@PhilipBlank]

Thank you! It’s definitely a doable project, laying out the dimensions in advance was the key for me to bring it all together.

Hi what digital leveler are you using? ty

[@PhilipBlank]

It’s a Huepar Box-1G, I’ve had great success with it so far and use rechargeable batteries to keep it going. You can find it for about $55 plus sometimes on sale. I try to stick with name brands but could not justify double or triple the cost with a comparable Bosch laser, and I’ve been very satisfied with it. amzn.to/3ZJ2G8a

Great video and result! What computer program did you use for the 3d designs and the measurements?

[@PhilipBlank]

Thank you! Been working on some more projects as well. I use Fusion360 and SolidWorks. Fusion360 is excellent since you can get a non-commercial license for hobbyist for free and it is quite powerful. May just take some learning time but KZbin has instructions for just about everything you’d need to learn.

What board did you purchase that was 2 1/4 wide? My wife wants this same look but standard 1x2 is 1.5 wide

[@PhilipBlank]

I do not remember off the top of my head, give a week to get back into the states and I’ll do some measuring and get back with you!

Sorry for the delay! The board I’m using is an MDF 1x3 with radiuses on the front two edges. Nominal length is 2.5x11/16. Should be able to be found at most places if they have it in stock: www.lowes.com/pd/Radius-Edge-MDF-Actual-0-6875-in-x-2-5-in-x-8-ft/1000801766
