Stain and Install Accent Panel Slats

let me show you so here's my master plan with this accent part so this is a/2 in Maple ply I'm going to stain it uh to be like weathered Oak Arena's favorite and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to use well this is not Maple but pretend it's Maple uh I'm going to secure these clean seats sideways and they're going to be spaced exactly 3/4 in apart so they'll have this vertical cool look to it now before I can do that I got to stain this part first and then we'll add the section to it and because there's a/2 in here we'll be able to get our bench area a little bit more room to kind of push forward to olude any of the uh drawers that will be there I just just remember I could do something smart it'd be a lot smarter for me to mass stain all my long pieces and then cut them out into the cleats so that it'll be the most Flawless staining that has ever happened on this side of the green earth so being smart okay got my board here it's snug as a rug for sure it's more narrow in front than it is in the back typically that's how it goes with framing this side stained this side's not so what I'm going to do because I only have one stud here and then two on the sides not a whole lot of nailing room so what I'm going to do is I'm going to put some adhesive on here uh and then press it again give it a few Brad nails to hold in place and we'll start putting our cleats on it shouldn't go anywhere and now we actually have a perfect overhang where I'll still have a an a quarter uh looks like about 5/8 of overhang so that's perfect let's have the cleats on [Music] folks so the strategy is going according to plan I got a little spacer block they're basically getting space the same exact tight distance now I thought ahead of time cuz I don't always do this but I caught myself ahead of time thinking well how am I going to strap my Hardware to hang all the jackets so because how tight these seams are what I'm going to do is I'm going to figure out where I want them and maybe even make like a little intricate kind of pattern to it uh and I'm going to put little blocks inside for maybe like what four different coat hangers and that way we will be able to have good latching for the hardware and not you know disrupt a really cool pattern by putting like a stupid board down the middle and make it look like monkey [Music] butt just my luck eight pieces short I counted like this is like 40 in wide I was like oh I'll skip them every inch but they're every 3/4 and by the time…
