[Strangeways]

More cabinet progress. The door was painted, bent and had holes were there must have been a clasp with a lock. Some holes were riveted. The idea is to straighten it out, strip, repair and then paint. I decided I was going to plate the internals, as I've never plated the inside door of a Stern.











Strip the paint, remove the rivets and prep to fill those holes.




Time to straighten up the door with some clamps and timber ;





I used a metal putty that was easy to apply and file. I had to do it twice.





Prime the inside ;




First coat of Hammered finish. Much better but still needs work ;
