How to save money on Show Cabinets (1 Viewer)

YO Troopers, thought I would list this on Britains seeing its what I collect. This was an old Mahogany Hall Wardrobe been in the family for decades, was going to get rid of it needed more room, then just by chance noticed it had panels in the front. The old brain started to engage in gear, and this is how it turned out, cost 140 euro for glass, got laminated for the doors so the little fellow wouldn't fall into it and do himself some serious harm. I was looking at my three Victorian double wardrobes in the bedrooms and they all have panels in the front. "The Mrs said DONT even think about it, or you and your Army are posted back to the UK on the next ferry lol. But just think guys in the local auctions you can pick up some cheap old wardrobes and convert them into a good looking cabinet a lot cheaper than you could buy a ready made one for. MOUNT UP, and get looking.

That is a great idea . I wish there were more people that look at the other uses of things before they throw them away.
