Not a lot of work on my part, but it just goes to show!

Looking through some old photo's, I came across this.

A set of drawers from an old office desk.
It had a bit of chipboard on top, and had been used for donkeys years to store the various cutters for an old senior milling machine.

Ali cleaned and waxed the original piece, and I made a new top from reclaimed Oak.

Sold as a bedside cabinet 2 days after finishing, for £150!

Guess who Picked the money up!:funny:
