Materials: MACKIS minichest
Description: For using the whole amount of storing space im my BILLY, I bought a MACKIS minichest. After a littly while, I thought it was too boring, even to live behind closed doors and so I used my soldering iron to apply patterns on it.
Step-by-step:
- I sized the chests and planned the patterns on my PC. I used a collection of Photoshop Pencils and a nice artwork collection of a german comic artist to create the design for the chests.
- I printed the template and copied it to the chest by using tracing paper and pencil.
- I switched on my soldering iron and traced the pattern into the wood. (Because of the heavy work for your eyes, consider 2 to 3 evenings for finishing that work.)

Ganz ausgezeichnet! That is super awesome!
ReplyDeleteSuper!!
ReplyDeletepretty cool
ReplyDeleteLoved the idea but unfortunately those aren't for sale anymore :(
ReplyDeleteThose are called "Fira", Mackis is another series.
ReplyDeleteBut it actually seems to be out of stock. Half a year ago I luckily bought a few, because they're pretty awesome... especially for storing craft supplies.
Nice work.
Did you use a "Brennpeter", Anja?
@charly No, I used a simple 30W soldering iron, I ordered at Lederkram.de (http://www.lederkram.de/index.php?go_to_this=/category.php?cat_ID=550&PHPSESSID=db89b65b1177770816c19dd12a972d53&__utma=33251363.482330613.1273271926.1273271926.1273271926.1&__utmb=33251363.13.10.1273271926&__utmc=33251363&__utmz=33251363.1273271926.1.1.utmcsr=%28direct%29|utmccn=%28direct%29|utmcmd=%28none%29&anchor=undefined )

ReplyDeleteThanks, the fonflatter archives saved me from a boring day at work!
ReplyDeleteGood Job! Without the patience OR the talent, I'm afraid I'd just make a burned up mess of my furniture.
