New Planchest

June 2nd
A day away from printing!
I went to a local "house clearance" Auction room. They were offering a three-drawer planchest with no reserve or pre-auction estimate - so I did not know what to expect. So many lots reached £8 to £10.
Happily I managed to win it for £25. The drawers are 82cm x 107cm internal dimensions - so large enough to take all of my pile of paper - even the largest ones.
Three coats of grey paint later and there it is doing its job perfectly, as well as providing a flat surface for my 900 x 600mm cutting board!
Can I keep it tidy?
Probably not! Though I have discovered it makes a wonderful
"instant" photography studio because it has good lighting.
