Paint storage platform
Getting the most out of the storage space I have. This platform will be used for storing paint and it will be placed just above the lawn mower. These will be the legs:

They will be supported by 2 bars across the unit’s front and back.

The next day started with sanding and preparing for the pocket holes.

I used screws for outdoor use just because I had to get rid of them. The platform will never be exposed to the rain, but those screws were under my feet.

Front and back supporting bars were next.

In its place, before and after loading.

And of course the lawn mover. It fits perfectly, no space is wasted. That was the plan.

I had to take it back to the shed and apply some wood oil.

A thick coat was applied with a broken paintbrush – use what you have!

The excess oil was wiped off with a clean cloth. This is the top of the platform:

… and the bottom:

I wish it held all of the colours after wiping off, but unfortunately, it lost most of its colour and protective properties. It is still OK for indoor use.
