Not particularly pleased with how the long 2x6 turned out stain-wise. Sanded multiple times, final sanding with 320, and put three coats of stain on over two days. Must be the wood...

Still need to finish framing the tool chest. Bottom 2x6s were a tad too short, may go find some 2x8s. Table legs will run from top 2x6 to bottom 2x6s. On the plus side, staining the fence w a paint sprayer turned out pretty well for my first time using one. Made sure to park the Z on the street first too.

Edit: as you can tell by the pic, I'm standing on the bottom of rhe world. Suck it, Copernicus.

Since Coolerworks doesn't make shifters for simulators I had to buy this short shifter kit.

Depends on how wet the lumber is and what grade, species ect. Usually it is wet as **** at the home centers. Menards can have some decent dry stuff but its all usually still construction grade and not really meant for furniture making. If ever build another one you can try to use some pre-treatment to help the stain soak up a bit more evenly but ive never had good luck on 2x4s and the likes.
The good thing is after a few years and projects, it'll take a beating and you wont mind the patina.

2x4's and such as a general rule doesn't stain real good. Because of the treatment.

Exactly. I had some gel dyes work out OK but they tend to be the darker colors. Some of the lighter ones still look blotchy.
