Cheap or Cheat? [member edit]

Cheap or Cheat? Either way, I make the most of what I have and get a good looking cabinet for less cash! In this one I’m making the carcass for the final cabinet in the workshop makeover, a 5-drawer unit that I’m also using it as a test project for some new tools and materials. Enjoy!


#Cabinet #BirchPly #MDF #Fibracolour


I finished this cabinet with Carnauba wax from Leo at Hand-i-Craft, pick some up at Leo’s new store here - https://www.hand-i-craft.com/store-1-2

I used Finsa Fibracolour for the lipping, and Finsa Hidrofugo for the carcass; Google them for stockists, or follow @finsauk on instagram.
