I never used Bondo before this either. It's not that bad. I made the mistake of not using a mask the first day. I probably shouldn't have done that. I was feeling light headed after a while. The second coat I used a mask and was just fine. I considered using fiberglass, but it actually seemed to be more difficult. Plus with Bondo, you can get a nice masonry look if you don't smooth it down all the way, which I did. I didn't want to sound like it was too difficult, but I would compare it to having a baby for a woman. Right afterwards, you're like no way in hell am I doing that again, but after some time I'm sure it wouldn't seem so bad to do again. You guys can totally do it! I would be happy to answer any questions or outline materials.
I love the smell of Bondo in the morning
Yeah a materials list and dimensions would be swell!
Cool, thanks! And an outline and materials list would be great to have! Thanks!
And I don't know if it's because you made it look so easy or what, but it doesn't seem that hard of a thing to make other than the bondo.
The lighting part and the floor decking material are things I'd like to know more about that and what you used.

It's just an 18" diameter pine round that I found at my local hardware store. I believe it's 1.5" thick. I used bolts with washers instead of screws to mount the base to the wood because I was worried there was too much stress with screws and they would strip the soft pine. I countersunk the 4 holes from the bottom and used 3/4 inch washers to expand the surface area.Also what size is that round base you used with the mount?
