Retro dressing box update

I look forward to seeing the finished product when I come home from work today.

:grimacing: Welllllll @Suzanne_Jones …that may…(or may not happen) I am really struggling try to get these open doors/drawers into place. If I end up having to pull anything apart…it may not even be done tomorrow. I built and painted the space shuttle in the same amount of days I have spent on this thing… :rofl:

Oh goodness, that doesn’t sound good. But since I won’t get home again for about another 9 hours, perhaps it will play nice for you in that time.

I don’t think I can struggle for 9 more minutes… :zany_face: @Suzanne_Jones

Interesting! That would be a lot of extras! Sorry I have no clue. Hoping the others can help!

Thanks so much, @jeanneL . I am having a lot of issues with this one. I hoped to finish up today but I don’t think I will. What are you currently working on?

It has turned out really striking! You’ve done a great job!

Well I started the Dream Toy Factory (didnt post yet) I had to go away to be with my Uncle who has now passed. Will get back to it! I got as far as my first test and though it worked, it was iffy and only worked sometimes. I need to go back and retry. I was pushing the spring and maybe only supposed to touch?

Thanks for your kind words @Tkaplan …I am not anywhere near being done yet. I am really struggling with these drawers with doors. The tiny nails are only 2mm big…and the wooden dowels might be 3 for installing another couple of pieces…AND with tiny springs to deal with… :zany_face:

I love the colours you picked! The finish of the gold on the blue is amazing :star_struck: Im gonna check the progress post so glad i got to see this, super unique

Thanks so much, Miriam…ZERO progress going on. I had a storage box installed wrong, built wrong, facing wrong direction (all of the above). :zany_face: MAJOR reconstructive efforts today. I am SO confused at this moment…UGH!

My condolences on your loss. You indeed only need to tap the spring not press it.
