Kitchen Station | Refinished Podium

I’ve daydreamed about a podium. Don’t laugh, but over the years I have written rough drafts in my head. My imagination has been the stage where I deliver fine oratory masterpieces, always from a podium. You can pound your fist on it to emphasize a point. You can rest your forearms forward and grab the edges while leaning in, to get serious. You can look down to collect your thoughts, and people think you’re reading your notes. I think we all need to have a speech ready in our minds, just in case we come across a podium.
Yes, it was a good day when I came across this podium. Yet another example of what can happen when you visit a local Habitat ReStore.
I’m really fond of the fine, super smooth finish I get from this auto paint from Dupli-Color
Prime…
Paint…
Clear coat…
I used regular paint on the inside…
I painted a linen weave after I primed with the roller….
Moving on, I cut some from a sheet of metal with tin snips.
Next, I used some strips of scrap wood and more double sided tape…
Then, I caulked the corners…
Enjoyed the project?

Charlene Miller on May 20, 2014Really neat! Would be cool to put small wheels on the bottom so it could be moved around easily.
