Finish it off

1

Remove all hardware, finish-sand where

needed, and apply a finish. We sprayed

on three coats of satin conversion varnish

for wear resistance.

2

Attach the wheels [Sources, Exploded View].

(The wheels have grease fittings, so lube

them.) Re-install the drawer hardware and

slide the drawers into the case. Mount the

planer, and you’re off to the races.
