Step-by-step Instructions
Step 1
Cut the bottom project panel or plywood piece with a jigsaw into the arched shape.
Step 2
Attach the 2x4 to the base with 2" screws (can use longer screws, just opted for the 2-1/4" to match the screws needed in next step)
Attach the backboard to the 2x4 with 2" screws and glue.
NOTE: If the base board doesn't sit flat on your floors, you can use felt pads underneath to slightly elevate and soften how it sits on the floor.
Finishing
Sand all surfaces, starting with a medium grit and finishing with fine. Wipe off the dust, fill any holes or gaps with wood filler, and sand smooth once dry. Apply primer if you're painting, then finish with your choice of paint or stain and seal with a durable clear topcoat. For outdoor projects, use exterior-rated primer, paint or stain, and sealer so the piece stands up to the weather.
