Hacking a Harbor Freight Stool into a Paint Stand Turntable

I have a TON of cabinet doors and drawer faces to paint in the near future and wanted to develop a convenient way of finishing them without having to walk around the work piece as I am spraying the finish. I went on Instagram and looked up different painters and cabinet makers to see if I could find a reference to work from or any other good ideas. I found a guy that had a sweet paint turntable / tripod setup that allowed him to spin his work piece without having to touch it and and get fingerprints all over his hard work.

Anyway, I spent a decent amount of time trying to come up with a clever yet inexpensive spinning / tripod / painting / spraying / turntable thingy and it hit me that a cheap spinning stool from Harbor Freight would be a great starting point.

I used the base of a spinning mechanics stool and added a spacer to bring the height to a more comfortable level. Added some arms to spin the turntable without touching the freshly painted work piece and a removable top that can be easily replaced once it gets too gummy.

I have used this to spray some smaller pieces and it worked great, excited to use it for all the doors and drawer faces that I need to finish up!
