Another two cabinets down in my great Sam's Study adventure ......
...... fortunately these two didn't prove to be as taxing as the first one which, I have to say, almost did my head in!
I found the fiddliest part was cutting and bending the drawer handles, it would be lovely to be a total perfectionist and make them truly square, but I am afraid life is too short! It was a little disappointing to find that one of the beads that go on the handle wasn't originally pressed perfectly, so bits were missing, but I am sure once the whole thing is put together it won't be that noticeable.
The drawers/cupboards don't open, they are just fronts, and to be honest the sizing of the pieces doesn't give much for any margin of error ....... so I am just grateful that the glue is pretty slow to set.
The small pink shelves proved to be really easy to put together, however when the time comes I need to very carefully remove some of the glue I seem to have managed to smear everywhere!
When I put cabinet 1 and 2 together I discovered that they don't exactly line up straight when put together, I don't know how that happened .......
........ but I think I can get away with it, because I am pretty certain that I going to glue each cabinet in place when I come to put the study frame together. It's not a toy but not one to be too precious, I am sure it's something that will fascinate Iris and Bertie so I reckon the more key pieces I can battened down the better!
