My new entry
Here is a look at a new cabinet that I made out of leftover pieces of
Cherry that I had from various projects. Measurements are; 12" wide x 18" deep x 24" tall. It is my entry into the Cutest Cabinet in the World Competition, Munchkin Division.:) I realized I had enough wood left over, from previous projects, to do something, that might make for an interesting piece of woodworking. Here is the result. It's purpose is as a rolling cabinet that can be positioned near various sewing machine areas to provide space to use for placing ancillary sewing notions during the sewing process. It is also made to house a spare sewing machine and thereby provide "ballast" to an otherwise tipsy design, that is tall and narrow. All Cherry with Poplar drawer sides and back. Enjoy, http://good-times.webshots.com/photo...00692635REaoub http://good-times.webshots.com/photo...00692635tVYjIb John |

Oh it's so beautiful, John - and useful. I love things small.
What a good idea (if one has the ability!) to use up leftovers, rather than create a growing pile in the garage g Seeing the little construction details (like those exquisite dovetails) is a bonus. ..

Fun fun fun! Will you put something on the top when using it so your
notions don't slide off or scratch it? It's so beautifully finished that I doubt a pair of scissors could hold on! Do they make the material that mouse pads are made of in a size that would fit the top? You could keep it inside the cabinet except when using it so you could enjoy the lovely top otherwise. I know, I know....you could fix it or refinish it when ever you needed to. The rest of us have to protect beautiful finishes such as that. Congratulations...it's a beautiful "scrap" project. -- Kathyl (KJ) remove "nospam" before mchsi http://community.webshots.com/user/kathylquiltz "John" wrote in message ...

It will spend most of it's life beneath a sewing table, and inlays, would be lost. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo...00692635SoFGRe The next thing is a new sewing table/cabinet with inlays. This one will be a stand alone unit and more appropriate for inlaying. The hits just keep on coming. John |

Enjoy, http://good-times.webshots.com/photo...00692635REaoub http://good-times.webshots.com/photo...00692635tVYjIb John I have a number of trivets made from quilting material, that I have sewn some of that rubber shelf liner to the back and that stops them from sliding around. It works for me and provides a cushioned area to lay the notions on. There is a pull out drawer slide just beneath the top of the cabinet sort of like a cutting board that is in some kitchen cabinets. I won't be cutting on it directly, but it will get some use and then can be slid away out of sight, to hide any scratches. I also have a couple of black mouse pads that will do that sort of duty if necessary. John |

Sounds like you've got it well covered. Perfect!

John, that's just too cute. I can think of several places in my house
where it would look perfect! But next time you have scrap wood, you should make a wood quilt. Maybe a nice eight point star. Or log cabin. Or just a nice rail fence. Or you could just make one of those munchkin chests for me! Sunny |

At least it would lay flat against the wall if you hung it up for display. John |
