For anyone interested, here is a little video of the whole process, start to finish, in time lapse.

Now that it's done, it was really cool to go through my old flatfile and rediscover all the old prints I had forgotten about in stacks. I also get to pull my oversized prints out of their hiding place and get eyes on them. Hello Mr Horkey, Mr Stout, Mr Ansin... All prints that I have only looked at ...

Done.

So I have painted the case, the drawers, and the tongues inside the drawers. I have only painted the face of the drawers, but masked the rest so hopefully it stays the nice grey powdercoated look. This was taken last night after the rain-interrupted paint sessions. The floor of my shed may never rec...

Never before have I been so angry at water falling from the sky.
Never.

Grrr......

As of tonight the case is prepped with 2 undercoats, and all the drawers have been stripped and primed.
Weather permitting, paint day will be this weekend. Gloss white. Hopefully comes out as classy as I hope!

BAM!

Just about ready to undercoat these pieces. Have organised to get some long clamps so I can glue up the MDF case. I'll be out of town for a week or so, so the next update may be the final painting. Fingers crossed. http://www.youtube.com/v/B4cI3FjVGB4 Handles, post cleanup. http://i.imgur.com/UBl5Bh...

I tend to put kraft > print > glassine > repeat. As far as I understand it's best to have something separating the prints. Even if it's just glassine > print > glassine at least it'll be enough. That said, if you spring the money and buy some mylar sleeves you'll be set and not need them. It is blo...

... So my question is, once a print is flattened, is it OK to store it on top of other flattened prints without something in between them? No weight is placed on top of them at all. I am far from an expert here, but that's what I do. I tend to keep similar sized prints together in stacks so there i...

Only three, and even then, that was across a couple of shed sessions and about 6 hours.

Good call. I'm not going to worry about the inside of the drawers of mine. I am going to wrap the drawers in paper and shoot the front panel, and the top of the flap with new paint.

This looks pretty great man, good job.

Yeh I got the first couple of drawers done, no worries. It was a bit tricky with the head of the screw being really close to the base of the drawer. Problem is with the 3rd and 4th drawers I got to. The screw won't turn, because I think it is slightly bent, and I can't get a really good purchase on ...
