Hacking a Harbor Freight Stool into a Paint Stand Turntable

I have a TON of cabinet doors and drawer faces to paint in the near future and wanted to develop a convenient way of finishing them without having to walk around the work piece as I am spraying the finish. I went on Instagram and looked up different painters and cabinet makers to see if I could find a reference to work from or any other good ideas. I found a guy that had a sweet paint turntable / tripod setup that allowed him to spin his work piece without having to touch it and and get fingerprints all over his hard work.

Anyway, I spent a decent amount of time trying to come up with a clever yet inexpensive spinning / tripod / painting / spraying / turntable thingy and it hit me that a cheap spinning stool from Harbor Freight would be a great starting point.
I used the base of a spinning mechanics stool and added a spacer to bring the height to a more comfortable level. Added some arms to spin the turntable without touching the freshly painted work piece and a removable top that can be easily replaced once it gets too gummy.
I have used this to spray some smaller pieces and it worked great, excited to use it for all the doors and drawer faces that I need to finish up!

I did something similar using the base of an old office computer chair. It was a tall stool model so it gets up to a nice height. It's height adjustable, it spins, and it's on wheels, which is nice. I originally just made it to be a little rolling tool table for my shop but quickly realized it's an awesome little finishing/painting table.

@bobt2522 5 лет назад

Great idea! Just today, I visited the local university's surplus store. They had old office chairs for low prices. At the time, I didn't realize I needed an old chair.

Okay. I’m about to share this to a cake decorating page.

@PMJ423 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing. Building one this weekend out of old stool to finish my grandchildren's toy boxes.

@tonyj2216 5 лет назад

This is a great idea....going to get a stool soon! Your kids in the background are adorable.

@billy19461 5 лет назад

Put a large trash bag over it and just replace the bag.

@ElCidPhysics90 Месяц назад

Thank you. Needed this

The ol' talk-myself-through-the-project trick....I like it!!

@MakingAndFixing 5 лет назад

This is a great idea! Good for small spaces.

@IEnjoyCreatingVideos 5 лет назад

Great project Tyler! looks like it will work out quite well' Thanks for sharing the video with us.👍😎JP

@snoww2009 5 лет назад

Nice video. Exactly what I am searching for. Need a rotating stand for spray painting. This will be my next DIY project. For me, I will probably make the handle removable to make it easier for storage. It will also give me the flexibility to use different length handles.

@cardsfanbj 5 лет назад

Interesting idea for a freestanding one. I made my own lazy susan out of some scrap MDF and a lazy susan bearing I bought at Home Depot (in the same aisle as the drawer slides and casters). I didn't make its own stand, I just set it on top of my workbench or sawhorses. Makes it easier to store it when you're not using it. Then I just use some small scraps of MDF as risers to keep it off the surface so you don't have the paint gluing the piece to the work surface.

@johnpasco1300 5 лет назад

Excellent concept! Thanks for sharing!!

@5ghostshadow 5 лет назад

You can also turn it upside down and use the stools feet and foot rest bars to hang things from to make a paint booth for small parts.

@hearts11406 5 лет назад

Spray adhesive some cabinet anti slip liner to the top for protection and the obvious of stoping the door from slipping when turning it

@DIYTyler 5 лет назад

Good idea right there!

@terencecharlesworth1499 5 лет назад

Hi Tyler try making the arms adjustable to take into account different substrate dimensions also give all the metal work light coating of Vaseline (petroleum jelly) this will allow easy cleaning of overspray good video by the way

@jamesurban2348 5 лет назад

Perhaps attaching the handles to the bottom half of the box would allow them to be further away from the workpiece. Ie, less chance of interfering with the paint gun. Nice build as always!

@sulaimanh.8993 3 года назад

I did this 10 years ago used HF automotive stool I still have it and use it

@sgsax 5 лет назад

@GregAlanEdwardsEmmanuelRidge 5 лет назад

I'd put some toolbox trayliner or something non slip on the top of that round piece to keep whatever you're painting from slipping

This could be a sweet serious harbor freight hacks making cheap stuff better

@berthatton9410 5 лет назад

I was thinking keep the work stationary and you and the spraying device rotate around it like on a merry go round...wait...that might be too big...wait...too much work to build...wait...too complicated...never mind. Love and watch all your videos.

@handplanepastor8558 5 лет назад

I know...I know...suggestions in comments, but here's a couple of handle improvement suggestions: 1) have the be collapsible but only have them pivot in one direction. That way you can pull them but when you push them they fold up. This will save space when not in use, but will also let you have longer handles. 2) move the handles to the bottom or middle of the box so they don't interfere with the top as much.

@krlosbldr4907 5 лет назад

Great idea for the price but you murder the seat option for no reason at all. Lol 😂 Great video 👍🏼

@DIYTyler 5 лет назад

It would have gone in the trash in one piece or multiple. Needed the stand and was hoping to use the board but as I mentioned in the video it was not flat enough.

@PunkR0ckz09 5 лет назад

Thanks for the idea, Tyler! However, if I were to build it for myself, I believe a foot pedal activated low RPM RC Car motor (or variable speed motor) attached to the platform would be a much better idea in the long run. No need to grab on to bars and pivot it and all, plus it could potentially allow for a much more even layer of finish, although much more costly too.

@5fiftyshack-272 5 лет назад

Thinking the same thing Reindeer motor with a foot pedal

@anthonyboutet7277 5 лет назад

Maybe some hinges for the handles? Good job !

@maderastudio8493 5 лет назад

Hey Tyler that is an awesome build. Like everything else, everybody has a suggestion to make it “better.” I suppose they all mean well. Anyway, good job, loved the video progression and editing. Moves right along in all the right places. (Umm, also, I think it stops being a tripod once it has 4 legs...) JK, lol. Thanks for the post!👍👍👍

@DIYTyler 5 лет назад

But is is a quadpod?! Didn't know what to call it. Thanks for the kind comment!

@bryangittings4197 5 лет назад

I'm off to harbor freight now that's a good ass idea. I have a kitchen to paint and I was wondering how I should paint the doors easly that a for that idea

@kyleallen239 5 лет назад

You should've hinged the top so you can store paint supplies

@marcbuteau6122 5 лет назад

I was thinking the same thing, storage in the box, you could put the little orange plastic pyramids

@williamfreitas6322 5 лет назад

Very nice!

@lastcomment1413 5 лет назад

I’d use some non-skid matting on the top of it so the “door” won’t shift when turning it. Just an idea. Great idea though.

@robbiejeffrey4618 5 лет назад

Nice low cost idea.

@quentinsherratt7969 5 лет назад

@jeffforbes3772 5 лет назад

@lasvegasira 5 лет назад

I'm wondering why you didn't affix the handles to the sides of the box and let them protrude from there as opposed to the bottom of the table which doesn't seem nearly as stable.

@JohnCoppolacustomwoodworking 5 лет назад

thanks alot brotha you the man

@bailey2624 5 лет назад

BRUHHHHHHHHHH this is what i needed thanks

@DIYTyler 5 лет назад

Awesome, glad to have help! I have used mine way more than I thought I would, and for more than just doors.

@sien481 4 года назад

@@DIYTyler gonna get paint everywhere. Turn table should be smaller, where overspray cant get to it.

Thanks Chris! How you been man, haven't seen you around in a while!

@CMRWoodworks 5 лет назад

Tyler G doing well. We had twin girls back in December and I then I got very sick so I was out of commission for several months. Finally put another video out recently after more than a year, haha. Getting back into it!

@TaeGarfman 5 лет назад

Should have just attached the wings onto the plywood box. That way it's one less step to do when you need to replace the top.

@bogsdolics 5 лет назад

Hi D I Y , nice, your first spray job could be the wood on top of your stool,G.

@mikeeckert3019 5 лет назад

Great idea but why not make your own stool and buy the lazy suzan attachment. Save more $$$$$

@ronnakeil3313 5 лет назад

Nice

@stingerasd 5 лет назад

did you change cameras or lights... its brighter in the shop. In a good way

@VampireOnline 5 лет назад

Looks like the colors are more vibrant. Maybe a camera setting.

@DIYTyler 5 лет назад

Nothing with the lights, little different setting in post. Glad you like it!

@nivadaharricharan5172 5 лет назад

Cool !!!

@sportstertaco 5 лет назад

You could add some painter's tripods to it. Chris from A Glimpse Inside made something very similar to this and he used those tripods.

@stevebustillo4342 5 лет назад

or you could screw four drywall screws up threw the wood and place the item to be painted on the points of the screws.

@Dosbomber 5 лет назад

I was thinking this as well.. also, mounting the arms to the box instead of the top circle would make the top easier to replace, and maybe more conveniently controlled. Maybe also find some way of using the dead space inside the box.
