Storage locker

Recommended Posts

We bought this locker at an auction over the winter and finally got around to stripping it down and repainting it and of course making decals for it! My grandfather actually was a miner at Black Star Coal Camp back in the 50's.

 Nice catch on "safety" didn't see it until you pointed it out.

Looks good.  It is a damn poor mind indeed which can't think of at least two ways to spell any word.

Darn it, I looked at that a thousand times! I know what I'm doing tomorrow! Thanks for catching that, not the first time that's happened!

Is that printed? 

 

If not how did you get that effect on the vinyl? Coal dust?

Nice job. I was born in a small coal camp in southern West Virginia also

It is matte white vinyl, and to tone down the bright new look, I sprayed the same flat black spray paint used on the cabinet onto a paper towel and just rubbed over the decal after it was applied, hoping for the "coal dust" look.
