Bobby Rico Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Hi all Mrs Rico and I spotted a vintage goods shop yesterday and thought we look around. I then spotted a very nice filling cabinet for £40 I do think it is a good buy. Today I felted the draws and cut the base of and add some casters. I have added a couple of fossils in just to try it out. I may make some deviders later. It only good for narrow fossil but I have a lot of them. Thanks for looking cheers Bobby 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Rico Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 Thank you @Tidgy's Dad @thelivingdead531 and @ynot I have a little house so and this cabinet will hold lots of the right sized fossil and will free up space. Mrs Rico is very happy about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Rico Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Hi all just thought I would update my storage draws post. Today I spent all morning in the workshop making some draw dividers. I think they've turned out nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macrophyseter Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Ooo, nice! The wheels are a perk imo as well, that thing is soon going to become a museum on wheels! If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes it look more like home furniture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, if you're ever gonna need to show those fossils somewhere, you can simply move the cabinet around! 1 If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!

Thanks Doren you are right and I am very pleased with the drawers and of course the fossil I got from you . The main reason I need a new cabinet was to house the goodies you sent.
