This one has a story to tell without a doubt. It had four layers of paint on it (nearly all removed now). God knows how old it is. At least 70 years probably more. My Dad was no good at this sort of thing so it was Grandad or before. I looked all over on the internet to find something suitable to convert in places like Oak furniture land blah blah. I couldn't find anything in the size I wanted. Little did I know the perfect thing was sat right under my noseGrumpytim wrote: ↑Fri Nov 12, 2021 5:35 pm That looks exactly like the chest of drawers I had as a kid in Scarborough. It was well put together and is still going strong at my brothers house. Ours was an awful shade of pea green which may have looked good in the 50/60's but it looked a lot better after it was painted grey.
Most things aren't as deep as this (50cm). I won't be using the drawers in this (I have another cunning plan for them ), just some wooden shelves with the circuit boards etc attached to. There will be a removable front panel going on it for access, not sure how I will do that yet. There will be no cases for the electronics as such - the furniture is the case .Apart from the source components which will be on the top and in their original cases but psu's off boarded.
