Furniture refinishing projects progress

Made some good progress on furniture refinishing projects today. The weather has finally warmed up a bit for improved painting and drying times.

Day Four on the Shaw-Walker Filing Cabinet

Rust mitigation, sanded, cleaned, and primed all four drawers, primarily the front faces and edges, though the full bottom on one drawer;

Primed the bottom of the cabinet to prevent further rusting;

Next steps:

Choose a paint color and get clear coat;

I’m half tempted to mount onto steel plate and add casters, otherwise felt stripping/feet to prevent scratching floors;

Finish cleaning hardware (not sure how much better these might get without replating) and remount

Day two on the Steelcase stick leg office chair #2

Spray painted all sides with two coats and left to dry

Sanded down the chair back, washed it, and spray painted with two coats and left to dry.

Next steps:

Clear coat;

Reupholster the seat (same Quidditch material as the other?);

Re-assemble;

Fix broken foot on one leg;
