Dance Floor DIY

I built my own folding practice dance floor out of plywood. I used Bobby White's Swungover Blog as a guide.
Since it's COVID, the cost of plywood is expensive. I paid about $50 for the 3/4" pine plywood. The hinge cost $5 (screws included). Varnish: $8. I used almost the entire can. I found the mineral spirits in our garage. We already had the electric drill and belt sander.
My goal was to make a floor small enough that I could move it myself. Yet, large enough for comfortable solo practice and partnered balboa. It's possible to do a swingout on the diagonal, but not a very dynamic one.

Nice I think I will do this build to, for practice in my garage! IT is pretty neat

[@LaineySilver]

You should! Let me know how it comes out! You can make it from thinner plywood (so it's easier to move) and use the whole sheet. I had to share the plywood, so it's a bit small.

What brand of polyurethane did you use ? Is it slick enough for Balboa ?

[@LaineySilver]

It was Varathane brand. The only one my local hardware store had. It's slick enough for Bal, but I don't practice slides on it (not quite slick enough for that).
