Flat file refurb project

[farva2]

Hey all , so I finally finished my flat file the other day and am happy to add this to the collection of flat file threads! Picked this baby up for $60 on craigslist and needless to say it needed some work. I followed the advice of several threads here (ill post links in a bit) so thanks are in order! I'm quite happy with how it turned out, especially the sparkle blue on the drawers! I didn't take any process pics but if you have some questions feel free to ask and I'll shed some light on that for you.

That looks really good. How many hours would you say it took to refurb it?

Took about 3 weekends, the longest part of the drying time.It's hard to put a number of hours on that but I'll say 10-15 hours more or less not counting drying time.
