I made this as a self-learning process to see how i could work with old tin materials and if i could get the cut and folded edges to a safe enough state to handle on a daily basis as a piece of furniture.
All of the tins used were found damaged or with missing lids and abandoned at the end of car boot sales that i visited during 2012.

The tins a fixed with round-head screws and flat head nails. Two vintage cupboard polished steel handles are used on the double doors. The cabinet sits on a welded steel box section base.
