Your making great progress, wish the weather and work would cooperate around here, I am still working on that bed side and wanted to ask what that black primer you used is? I see its epoxy but is there a brand you prefer?

I burned up a Black and Decker 1/4" drill doing that in 1985 when I did the first build on mine. I bought a compressor so I could run a 4" DA. Then got tired of waiting for the air to build and, when I got my shop, got a real compressor. Good to see the kid diving in, my grand son kind of petered out...
