Zach 1981 Flareside Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I finished the new oak bed today. The boards have been ready for a while, but I was waiting for winter to pass. My 11 year old daughter helped put all those bolts in. I bought the oak at Home Depot. Bought the strips and bolts from NPD. I bought the router on Amazon and it came with a guide attachment (Bosch Colt Palm Grip PR20EVSK 5.6 Amp 1-Horsepower Fixed-Base Variable-Speed Router with Edge Guide). The stain came from Walmart. Clear coat is Rust-Oleum Varathane 250241H 1-Quart Classic Clear Water Based Outdoor Spar Urethane, Satin Finish... and I'm not to sure about it... I'll keep a close eye on it and try something else if the 6 coats wear off. Under the two rows of eye hooks are two 1 x 3 in oak, painted black, that are full width of bed. I have a couple small dirt bikes that I'll tie down. I can't think of anything else. Let me know if you have questions. I picked the black colors, didn't want red or stainless steel, and I like the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Zach! That's a wonderful job. But, are you telling us that you just bought the router? Meaning that this is all new to you? In any event, that's a beautiful job, and one you are surely, and rightly proud of. And, your daughter looks like she really had a blast. You will both remember this for quite some time.

You will both remember this for quite some time. That's right. I had to learn how to use a router. This is my first wood working project. The parking garage in one of the pictures is my second. It needs a little roof still. That is left over oak from the truck. It will be stained the same color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Excellent job! I like the color choice, and doing the strips in black. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzFace2 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Nice! Looks good! Nice looking floor. When I see them like that I wish I had the money to go with wood and not the rib metal. Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
