On the ride home i had plenty of time to think about my new score, not just bc it was an hour on a good day. It was windy as hell, could not take the interstate, and could hardly get the old accord past third gear on the flats. Made it not problem, who needs a truck when u drive honda's : ). Well by the time was home had decided i would scrap the wood benches i currently had and salvage most of it to be used as supports and the top of the cabinets i had just bought. I had also decided i would paint all of them to match my craftsman top box. In the end it turned but would have been way easier to paint the craftsman to match the cabinets. They were a couple of different models but very close and 3 or 4 different colors, all kind of bland earth tones. They all came out of a science labs at a university. I wish i had more pics of the process of leveling, sanding, painting a d building the tops bc it was a process. All told it took about a month every chance i had to get it all done from tear out to finished. I even polished all of the hinges and pulls in the drawers. I doubt i would ever do it again. Who knew i would have to tune all of the doors on the cabinets when the went back together. I did have the good sense to number and letter each cabinet and all of the doors and drawers so they stayed with the right frame. Would have been s nightmare had i not done this. Four of them have four drawers ( two deep, two across on top and then dutch doors below. I would still be trying to figure out which ones went with which frame. Ok, two coats of primer with wet sand between costs and three costs of paint later. Here they are. Have been in servixe for over three years.
Is that an old Moto Ski in your last pic?
