      Looks like a sideboard to me. Though usually the antique ones of years past circa 1780 -1880 had mirrors on it and little shelves off the mirrors. Like this:

    Top looks great. However I have always heard sheet rock screws are not good for furniture use. No horizontal strength. Plus I always had them snap in hardwood.

    Drawers are all fitted so that they will slide in and out better...do not NEED them to be a "Piston Fit"...merely needs to keep most of the dust out...

    So, since those are done..

    Laundry Room 30, Stained, plus a rag .jpg

    I suppose I had better move that rag...

    Laundry Room 30, Stained, without the rag .jpg

    That better? I am not staining the back of this ...thing....however, I do need to somehow get this fat body back in here...

    Laundry Room 30, Stained, need to get in here .jpg

    So that I can stain and wipe down this end of the case...

    Will let this smelly mess dry overnight, and see what it looks like...and do any "touch-ups" required..OldManSmiley

    Stay tunedcowboypistol1

    Ok..this spot..

    May Rust Hunt, Where the new case will go .jpg

    is where the new "Bench" will be going..

    have already started to fill up a drawer..

    May Rust Hunt, Storage started .jpg

    Bought a $10 cardboard box filled with tools, yesterday...figured this will be better than it sitting upstairs on the Dinning Room Table

    Closed up the drawer..opened the can of varnish..and a brush.

    May Rust Hunt, Top coated on the top .jpg

    Top NOW has a coat of Warm Gloss Poly brushed on. Back did not want to bend well enough to do the lower section..

    Letting this thing sit a day...

    Stay tuned..

    (There IS a LONG set of photos, covering most of the last Rust Hunt finds.....Might start a thread about those, IF anyone wants to read it?)
