Toddler Chalkboard
![](/sites/default/files/3154814255_1345948260.jpg)
This was my very first woodworking project. It took me longer than it should have due to my unfamiliarity with power tools. Overall I would say that this project is a pretty easy build. The plans were clear, and I only made a few changes/additions. I increased the overall height of the chalkboard by 4" and attached the back legs with a hinge rather than screwing straight into the back of the chalkboard.

Great job!
This really came out nice and welcome to the community. Love the idea of the hinges; smart idea! If you painted directly onto bare wood, without applying primer first, that would be a cause of the paint not taking evenly. The bare wood can be like a sponge so primer helps with it adhering to the wood.

Paint Help
Thank you spiceylg for the help. I should have applied primer first, but the spray paint I used said that no primer was necessary. After the first coat didn't take I should have went back and applied a primer coat.
