So what have I been up to? Drywall, mudding, and this little project of a five drawer chest on casters that will fit under the benchwork in the train room.
That photo is of the snack bar area. The train room is through the door.
The chest just came to me as an idea to get the train cars out of the boxes... I hate that. Also the boxes were taking up shelf space I was needing for other items.
Basically I made it out of 3/4" plywood, 1x4, 1x6, and some other scrap pieces laying around. I used some old casters that I have been pack ratting for a long time and those are on the bottom.
With the foul weather outside, this project made sense. Use up some lumber on the floor in the train room and have the boy help me out too.
Five pull out drawers with four of them on metal guides make it easy to open and close them.
I do not know if I will paint it, but it will double as a wheeled work platform for the train room and its width will fit between the isles.
As the layout progresses, I will take the trains out of the drawers and replace them with tools, cleaning supplies, etc. Next step is finishing up the drywall this weekend!
