Looks much spiffy!

The only thing I wonder about is how you open those drawers. Looks like
they're pretty much flush, and spaced closely together. Looks like it
would be difficult to finagle one of them open short of tilting the whole
unit.

What's the magic secret? :)

Ya musta been lookin at the unfinished cabinet, as the finished
cabinet has some nice ornate handles on each drawer.

Brass shell pulls?

Oh hell, I guess I should have looked at the dates. :)

I thought you meant "finished" as in "completed construction" when I saw the
pictures I looked at, so I didn't keep looking for the ones that revealed
its new life as something that looks WAY too good to ever have to serve
duty as a filing cabinet. My bad.

Thanks, not sure I really understand your question. To open them one
would just pull on the brass shell pulls.

Oh, my bad, you were looking at the finished project/unfinished file
cabinet. You are right, it way "very" hard to get the drawers m open
before I mounted the pulls.
