Have you tried Sneddons? They have a bunch of drawer pulls on their website - can't tell the sizing though http://www.sneddons.com.au/products_page.php?id=116 Re: Never pass up a bargain 29Sep 05, 2010 4:30 pm mswilmot TheOK If anyone can recomend a place where I can find matching drawer pulls I'd be grateful, I've tried Schots, Recollections and Steptoes,they all have a similar type, but they're too large.

Re: Never pass up a bargain 32Sep 06, 2010 11:11 pm OK here's another one, the cedar table was $25 the HW top was salvaged from a broken desk my neighbour threw out.
The restoration took 3 days, mostly paint drying time, prep work was about 2 hrs. I have more, they're functional atm, but could do with some sprucing maybe when the weather is warmer. Re: Never pass up a bargain 34Sep 08, 2010 9:26 pm DamNita TheOK. Love the coffee table. What a difference. Can I borrow you for just one day? Please. Pretty please. Ha ha... it's never for one day, the last person to say that had me in shackles with a ball and chain. I was able to escape after a week. Re: Never pass up a bargain 35Sep 10, 2010 9:47 pm Another great one TheOK!

Lack of time/daylight hours, plus eight hours drying between coats, plus cold temps (extends the drying time a bit) is making it a loooong job. I'm down to the last coat - I think.

Great work there kek , due to the average 60+ short surfaces, chairs can be painfully tedious to restore, job well done, looking forward to seeing your finished dressing table. Re: Never pass up a bargain 38Sep 11, 2010 1:19 pm Kek, can't wait to see the finished product.

A funny thing happened when I went to pick up my dressing tablethis morning. Rather than relive the agony (besides, I need to go dish up our late dinner now ), you can read all about it here. That sucks! Hope it all works out. Good to move away from steel anyway for all your reasons, but it's also thermally poor. 16 18384 |
