"Finished Serving Tray" ...My neighbor Sandy and I put some ideas together and she supplied the Benjamin Moore HC-61 Burgundy Interior Latex Semi Gloss Paint. We got some 3/8" good 2 sided plywood supplied by Attica Lumber. After cutting the material and sizing it, A template was made to route the end pieces of the tray. Tops and handles were rounded off on another router table w/a 1/4 round bottom bearing guide bit. We used Elmers Interior/Exterior wood glue and 1" brads for the box assembly. Clamped the project and let it sit for about an hour. Then we took good 2 sided cabinet grade 1/2" plywood Supplied by Bathricks Cabinet Shop of Varysburg NY,and sized it... glued the sides and ends of the tray bottom and fit it snuggly inside of the tray box. Shot some 1 1/4" brads around to tighten it up and clamped it. After the glue set up We Used Elmers Carpenters White Wood Filler and filled the brad holes..sanded the whole tray with my Porter Cable #333 Palm Disc Sander with a 150 grit disc paper. Using a Contractors grade White latex house paint and my Husky HVLP gravity fed sprayer and Husky Compressor Purchased at The Home Depot..we sprayed 2 coats on the tray to seal the project..and cleaned out the spray gun..after it dried a 320 grit sand paper was used to smooth the tray. A crackle application was then applied to the project and let dry. Then sprayed the Burgundy paint over the project quickly..and watched the project come to life and crackle giving it that aged look we wanted to accomplish. After letting the top coat dry we took my Porter Cable #333 palm sander with a 150 grit disc sand paper we ran over the project to knock down the burgundy. Today I'm going to give the whole tray a Dark Walnut stain and sealer to complete the tray finish... |
