I'm planning on posting some pictures once a get a drawer completed and filled.

I have finally started working on getting my file cabinets set up....... 'bout time. It seems like it's taken me forever to get around to this (probably because it really has). I'm going to post some pictures and a slightly-detailed description of what I did.

First I used Easy-Fold Mailers to line the sides of each drawer. Below is an example of what I'm talking about.

I'm not really sure what size I used. I will figure that out later and edit this post with the exact dimensions. These mailers can be bought off a supply website like Uline.com. Jumbo Kraft Easy-Fold Mailers. I prefer to use the white ones instead of the brown. I really like using these because they already have lines that you can easily use to bend the cardboard.

I cut off the two shorter sides of each mailer and lined the drawers all the way around like this:

I wanted each drawer to resemble a comic storage box.

I then lined each of the drawers with Silver Age sized backing boards. I made sure to leave the glossy side up. I just used regular Scotch tape to hold them in place. I also left a bit of room up the middle of the drawer. This is where the foamboard will go later.

The next step is the easiest......take your books and start filling the drawers like so:

Pictured is 4 stuffed short boxes full of bagged and boarded comics. I left room on each side of the drawers to make room for additions that come every month. I still need to put the foamboard down the middle of the drawer. I wasn't able to do this yet because I couldn't find my tape measure. This will probably be completed over the weekend. Still have WAY too many boxes to unload into the drawers. I have four of these file cabinets waiting for books. Three of them are just like the one pictured. The fourth one actually has an extra storage compartment on the top of it that slides open. It's pretty sweet. I'm going to use that space to store all of my bags and boards.

This is the first time that I've ever used anything besides the regular comic storage boxes to store comics in. I must say that I already like this way much better than picking up and moving box after box to move different books around or to look for a particular issue. Sure these file cabinets already weigh alot when they are empty, and they will weigh a whole lot more when they are full. If you plan on using file cabinets for storage, just make sure that you place them somewhere that you know will work. You don't want to have to try and move them around all the time.

Now if I can just find room to put the contents in the rest of the boxes.

And here's a picture of my g/f in the middle of it all doing what she does best, her Chinese homework.

The company that I work for bought another company out, and they had all kinds of extra furniture laying around. I was able to pick up three cabinets that look just like the one in my pictures. The fourth one has the same amount of drawers plus an extra storage are on top.
