Waste board finished... at last

With a special thanks to @WillAdams’ post showing his layout plan, I set to putting mine in order. I believe he used a PVC material. I opted to cut 1-1/2, 3, 4 & 6" slats of 3/4" MDF. The only PVC material I could find locally was like $60 for an 11" x 12’ piece used for facia in house construction. I don’t know the exact dimensions of Williams, but mine must be fairly close.

The MDF slats and T-tracs are screwed directly to the original waste board.

The T-tracs are 3/8" high so they sit below the 3/4" MDF and I use a temporary sacrificial waste board under the project.

Now that I had a way to secure something I took on a project I found on the Vectric site…

Part 1…

Part 2…

Part 3…

This is a dry fit of the final project. A little more sanding, a good priming, the addition of the dowel caps and the finish painting and it will be done.

Thanks again William.

Here is the finished clock. The paint used is called “Concrete”. A very rough or coarse black and white speckeled paint over a gray primer.
