Maybe that Malleus NIN you lost was used up by the cat when he had run out of kitty litter

Thanks. I enjoy projects like this one. Getting it out of the storage room was also a little bit of a motivator. :wink:

Makes sense now... thats why she walks all over you and craps on your floor and posters.

found this on CL a while back. 5 drawer on the top and 10 drawer on the bottom. The flat file was tan when I got it. I sprayed it black and built the wood top for it.

Killer set up mac! Some damn fine posters too. Family Reunion (other ones) was my first concert poster.

Look everyone, headie's listening to some live phish, who would have thunk-it. Just kidding man, love those live releases, not sure if I have that one...

This is what it looks like now. But coming up, my entire office will be re made.

I flatten prints in the flat file with the extra flattening bars I got with these drawers.

I show the closet because I made the built in.
There is a hatch to the attic in there and there was no way to get to it w/o a ladder.
So I built tall steps that double as storage. I used extra trim from around the house to frame it out and it looks like it's always been there.
