[QUOTE="fithwheel, post: 8664949, member: 674179"] Don't over sand the vener on that plywood is pretty thin. I sand very very little just in places i think it needs it with 220.You'll want to use some pre stain. Some of the pre stain blocks too much of the stain imo. I like Charles Neil blotch control. 3 coats of stain and 3 coats of polyurethane is plenty imo. Elmers max wood glue is a thicker glue. Doesn't run near as bad as tight bond. Make sure you have a good proper blade on your table saw. That stuff likes to split. I've found keeping your blade height as low as possible helps. All that adds up but you'll have plenty of supplies left over to build another box. If you decide to paint use bin primer. That's the last box I stained. Took a few to figure out what to use and what not to use lol. I was happy with the results anyway. Hope that was helpful good luck... [ATTACH]3539._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
