So I picked up an Irish Millipede from a local klov'r. Someone had put this thing in the trash and luckily he picked it up. It was almost a casualty of the recent flooding in the Detroit area a couple months ago. Can't believe someone would just toss it, especially being an Irish Millipede, not exactly common in the States, or even Europe from what I've heard.
Aside from a little swelling on the bottom from the flood, a few gouged corners/trashed wood, this thing is a very restore-able. Plus, it works!
I'm about to dive into fixing her up and figured I'd start a thread to log my progress here. Not sure how far I'm goin to take this one, as I can live with minor imperfections. I'm going to have some questions as I go, as there will be a few things I've never done before, mainly in the woodworking area.
Here's how she sits right now:

sideart is in pretty decent shape


one of the busted corners
