Thank You!

I did not. I have had really inconsistent results using a pre-stain wood conditioner. Just sanded it down to 220 grit.Thanks, CHad

really nice work!

nice work, really like the concept, I will definitely use it

Thank you!, really appreciate the feedback!

I am going to do this, great work, great idea

I don't think a primer is necessary as long as you rub the entire frame down well with some fine steel wool.... I would definitely go with the all surface paint, it will hold up better.

nice work, I have used that same paint on a few projects. It has a cool look.

Great idea, and it looks cool

Really cool design.

that's a good idea

Thank You!

Thank You!

I normally would have painted or stained something like the frame before assembly. But, I was concerned about having glue run off when I clamped the framework on. And it did run out a bit. I was able to wipe it off and sand it down before applying the india ink. Having 2 separate finishes on a table top was tricky to figure out.

Thank you. I used Titebond Original Wood Glue

This was my first experience with pipe, If I had access to a threader I might have done it like that too. I just bought a bunch of random sizes hoping I could make it work for the base dimensions. It didn't work perfectly, but It came together eventually. Thanks for the feedback. Chad

Thank You. It was very tricky to get it level. I added a little super glue to the pipe threads when I get them just right.

Thank you, I bought it on ebay for around 5 or 6 bucks. They also sell it on Amazon and in alot of craft stores.

yes you can

nice build and nice shirts
