This is a great project. I’m going backward through the blog. ;-)
I paint a lot of the stuff I make and filler is indispensable. I get neurotic about it sometimes, though. It’s not easy to make a surface so flat it’s like a mirror but the flatter you can get it, the better the final finish looks when you go with a high gloss paint or poly. And that’s another reason I stick mainly to semi gloss. :-)
