Ajo working: TAKE TWO english nightstands

Monday, February 24, 2014

Here is a list of the steps taken to turned a desk into a pair of nightstands.

Removed the top for another project

which better work cause George keeps telling everyone on facebook Ill be done that project soon

Replace all the missing drawer glides

did you know plastic glides can be bought for a couple a bucks at your home improvement store

Find and attach pieces for new tops

so I can add the remaining furniture bits to the ever growing pile of parts

Remove old hardware

Alter the bottom to work with new legs

easier said than done

Install new hardware

thankfully I didnt have to fill and sand holes this time

Repeat all steps a second time

this is your chance to get it done right

Paint and wax

I think I am getting the hang of this part

Line drawers

so we dont have to look at colorful ink stains and doodles left by the last owner

Photograph your finished pieces and contact patient customer

to find out they are perfect.
