Making some more incremental progress on my Arvo woofer baffles (U baffles of the Arvo classic). Got a break from home renovations so I thought I'd make use and do some more work on the Arvo's.
My questions are:
I was thinking of making the sides and plinth black gloss finish while the front and trim will be Mahogany. I am assuming it is prudent to paint the sides and plinth, and stain the veneer/wood trim before gluing all the pieces together. Is this most likely the best way to go about it? How about for Lacquer'ing?
I am just not sure I can contain the two zones well if they are already glued together. But, I am worried that I will get glue on the outside after painted/stained. Anyone have some pointers for a newbie?
I am going to have a big challenge of finding a dust-free area to spray and finish. My basement is my woodshop and despite a dust collector and dust filter is chock full o dust. Upstairs we are doing gut renovations on the second floor which means dust is pervasive through the house to some extent (even with plastic/duct tape seal). What do some of you guys do when you don't have a spray room?
When we did homemade wayne-scoting in the bathroom, we had to finish and refinish and refinish lots of the pieces because we couldn't keep the dust from the finishing area in our dining room.
Cheers,
Josh
