Steps
Step 1
First I removed all doors, hinges and screws. I then removed the decorative detailing from the sides and along the top of the piece and filled in the holes with wood filler
Step 2
Next up was to make the bottom left and right boards level with the center. I measured out the height and used brad nails along the sides and back of the piece to secure them in.
Step 3
Up next was designing the 4 separate lockers. To do this i removed the lower shelving wood and with some spare wooden VJ paneling I created a divider in the middle of the piece and also one down the bottom to create another small cubby. I used spare pieces of wood to cover the gaps in the middle sections, alot of nails and alot of wood filler.
Step 4
Once all the holes were filled and gaps sealed this piece was given a full scuff sand with the orbital sander. Seats were sanded down to raw timber and the whole piece was given a good wash down ready for primer and paint.
Step 5
Finally 2 coats of primer was added, and 3 coats of dug egg blue Dulux paint, along with 2 coats of Cabots Matt Clear Varnish. Black coat hooks were added, baskets from Kmart and finally the job was complete ready for a family to use.
