mala posta nº 5

Continuing the construction of the malaposta, I begin by showing how I make the two wooden molds for the construction of the side panels of the box, they are made of fiberglass, the doors are then trimmed well as the windows, these are made with glass of 1 mm and the frames in varnished mahogany wood, as in the original, plus some photos for better elucidation. I hope you enjoy seeing this progress.
