Almost there….

almost there..

just waiting for the drawers to dry, so I can flatten and add the final coat. 
Refitted all the hardware. Shuts beautifully. Pleased with the gaps around the door, it’s a snug fit!! Had to flatten the paint on the door edges with very fine paper as it was just ever so slightly catching. The soft close hinges pull the door in, the magnetic catch then makes a click as it makes contact with the steel plate. Absolutely no movement or rattling.

Hopefully it should be fully completed in 48hrs.

Taken a crazy amount of work, way more than I anticipated.

The total build cost of MDF, hardware and paint is roughly £100… so wasn’t cheaper than buying a proper used gun cabinet. But the difference is it won’t look out of place in the house. Most importantly she’s happy 😂👍🏻

Not sure I want to start another project just yet….

Did you roll it; there's a lot of stipple?
