Display Cabinet

General description

An  urgent call from  loudspeaker company   late on a Thursday afternoon;  they required  a  display stand  for the following Monday.

The cabinet was made on the Friday morning  using  6mm MDF.  It was then sprayed 3x times with a very expensive fast drying "high build" primer  (Zinsser)  and flattened off with 280 grit between each coat. .

On Saturday morning  the primer surface was again and finally cut back using 400 wet and dry. The first coat of eggshell black was sprayed on (all done using an HLVP spray gun).

On Sunday, after a hearty  breakfast and a quick scan of the papers,  the process was repeated.

Monday  2pm it was in the showroom awaiting  the product to be placed on it.

Why not use formica plastic laminate you say? Well, you try getting hold of plastic laminate with a weekend and  that kind of schedule to meet.
