wobblerlorriOkay, for those keeping score, here are the Poor Chest of Drawers pictures as promised. NOT behind a cut, because I can't be bothered today.
Just to review, here's what the poor thing looked like:
And here it is today:
The front.
A better view of the front.
A side (it was a bitch because the green paint had stained the grain. Luckily the stains covered it.
A close-up (sort of blurry) of the knobs I put on.
The pretty shell carving. Took lots of stripper, a steak knife, and a dental tool to get all the christless PINK paint out of the grooves.
One of the legs. They're Queen Anne style, unfortunately Mike didn't get the elegant little spade foot in.
My next project is the rocking horse. I've got all the blanks cut out, just waiting on the bandsaw to get here so I can cut out the shapes. After that I'm going to build another bookshelf for my room, then tackle this little side table I'm using for a printer stand...
