    That Standing Desk Project, a PIP

    Moved the desk to the front room of the house, hoping the was enough light, and room (barely) to apply the first coat of varnish..

    Spread out the newspaper and tried to fit my fat body around this, with brush in hand...

    Them feet are a LONG way down there, was hard to reach....

    Worked my way around it..

    Even under the lid, and the insides....left the Poplar floor alone.
    Have since rubbed it down with 0000 steel wool, with wipe it down tomorrow with a tack rag, before coat #2 goes on.
    I guess this is a PIP? Project thread was getting a bit long-winded, anyway.

    Stay tuned, will post what happens with the second coat .....

    Stood the desk up on it's top. Added foot pads. Just nail each in place.

    While it was just sitting there, feet in the air, I applied coat #2 of the varnish....needed a little help to get it back up onto it's own four feet. Then the rest of the desk was second coated. Yes, even under the lid, again. Will let it set until tomorrow, and see how it turns out. Cleaned the brush, to have it ready for the next time.

    Stay tuned.....Delivery Day is fast approaching....
