To get a smooth finish with a brush I have a technique, I apply it horizontal so theres enough paint covering the surface then without wetting the brush anymore I do vertical strokes, then both diagonal axis's (one stoke is usually enough) and I get a kind of matted finish with no brush strokes that dries smooth and shiny, or gloss or satin whatever it is. It also works great an a wall thats been rolled and needs a little repair and good blending.

I always heard tbat foam rollers leaves air bubbles in paint not sure if that is true what do you say bout that?
I made it by myself thanks to woodprix plans. I think it's the best way to learn how to build.
Latex or oil?
Thank you so much. Your method is quick and easy to follow for us amateurs. I'm gonna go try it out. If it doesn't work well, it's not your fault!
Love this thank you!
Great video. Thanks for updating us. What we did with our dark oak cabinets was to degrease with tsp and rinse rinse rinse it off and then sand so you don’t drive the grease into the wood. Sand until you think your done and then sand some more. Two coats of primer allowing a full day between coats to dry. Then two coats of an enamel top coat paint allowing at-least 2 or 3 days to dry between coats. Then let cure couple weeks before putting on hardware and installing. Lots of work but you won’t regret it. We just posted on our channel a 2 and half yr update video on our painting results.
I'm really sure you can build it yourself. I did this 2 weeks ago thanks to the Woodglut plans.
