Start with 1/2 inch ACX plywood. Using Dave Painters drawings, I cut
five wood section. Corners rounded with a 4" radius
After the section were cut, I started wrapping each leg section with
the pipe insulation.
I used the smooth insulation with the adhesive. The adhesive helped
keep the insulation in place while I stapled the insulation to the plywood
After all section were wrapped, I cut out notched pieces of wood and
places them inside the wood sections. This helped "squish" the height
of the section to 8 inches.
The wood dividers are just temporary as I'll have to change them when I
build the next section of the legs.
I still have to decide on a finish. I will either use liquid latex or
Plastic Dip Spray.
