...... the very piece of shelving - Cabinet 1 of my Sam's Study completed! I think you may just be able to pick it out (or at least the turquoise door) from in amongst the picture of the completed project. Let's just say I didn't find it easy!
I decided it might be best to tackle each part in the exact order in which they appear in the instruction manual ...... despite other things looking easier.
So, I got stuck by instruction number 3, I think it took me an hour of trying this and that, with nothing any making sense, before realising the picture was actually showing the back view, rather than the front, which I was convinced it was, then it sort of came together!
Oh my goodness, all the tiny drawer handles are soooooooooooooo fiddly, especially for my poor fat sausage fingers! Hopefully, as I get into the swing of things it will all get easier (????) However, the first thing I really need to do before I tackle anything else is to swap the glue containers that came with the pack for my, older than the hills, precision glue bottles, there is no way I can work with the stubby ends of what is provided! Then I am going to collect myself, gilding my lions very carefully (??) for Cabinet 2 ........ wish me luck!
Your first cabinet looks quite perfect, so I have no doubt you'll master the next one, as well.
ReplyDeleteTry putting you glue on a scrap of card and applying with a cocktail stick. I use Gorilla glue for all my miniatures.
