Steps
Step 1
Repair damaged bedside drawers, this had a broken piece of timber, bottom left corner, I had to make a replacement part,glued and shaped to match the rest of the molding.
Step 2
Sand both chest of drawers and bedside drawers, I fully sanded the tops of each unit back to bare wood, ready for clear coat finish the rest of the units were sanded back ready for painting., no undercoat was required.
Step 3
Cut, glue and sand 12mm timber dowel pieces to repair large holes in drawers, then redrill to suit knob mounting screws
Step 4
Paint 3 coats black satin paint I used a brush to place the paint onto the body of the units then used the roller to roll on the paint, ( hint - this will give a better flatter finish, do not over load the roller)
Very lightly sanded in between coats using 400grit sandpaper
Step 5
Clear coat top of both units, I did these using the same technique as the way I painted the black paint, very light sanding in between coats, using 400 grit sand paper
Step 6
I used the original drawer knobs, these were brass knobs, so I decided to polish and clear coat them, I think they came up well, I used my lathe to sand with 120 grit and 400 grit sand paper
Step 7
Job done.
Please excuse my try at styling @Tinker_Bell , I tried, maybe next time I will do better.
