Hat Rack

Okay, something totally different this time.

I've gone looking for drift wood along the river to accomplish this project!

And I found a beautiful long log that I carried back (who knew drift wood would still be so dam heavy??)

Anyways back home it came and I started my little odd project.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First things first, I pressure washed all the dirt and sand out of this thing and let it dry for a few days. Then I sanded back the first time to get all the nicks and splinters off of it.

Then into the shed for its first of many steps. This was to fill all the holes and cracks with a colored epoxy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is what the colored epoxy looked like before I begin the 2nd sanding.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sanding selfie! LOL

 Getting there bit by bit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Almost done!

 

Now putting on a sealer coat of epoxy for the first coat.The full coat of clear epoxy while it is supported in the shed and drying for 2 days.

Yes I know, another not really good picture. It really doesn't do it justice in this one.

So I tired this one instead, a close up of the blue epoxy that I put in it to highlight.

Then I put in the pegs where the hats will hang.

And then the final piece.

 

 

 

 

It really does look quite good, I've got to work on my picture skills a bit as its really not showing the quality of the items.
