Rebuilding Black Desk

This black desk I've had for about 20 years. It was built by my father and his father in my father's youth. It has two drawers and a unique piano-hinged lift-top. About six years ago it was spray-painted black and demoted to garage-duty. Now its unique design seems useful for Erin's craft-room so it will be refinished and rejuvenated for that.

This shows the unique lift-top design & the metal/padded liner placed inside.


This shows the glue leftover from the former padded liner.

The two drawers here balanced on my White Chest, with the faces of the drawers removed and sanded.
