Misc. Shop Stuff #57: Nail (Screw) Cabinet - Internals Done!

I ordered those same pulls avoit 4 mo ago in anticipation

That’s gonna be nice Smitty.
Will you put some kind of finish on the carcass ?

-- Putty

What’s planed for the labels?

The stopped dados was a good idea. I like the looks of it.

Lookin’ good!

Very happy with the pulls and the price of them from Lawless; they are my go-to place for hardware from this point. The plan is to hot-glue an example of each drawer’s contents to a piece of card stock inserted in the pull slots.

Putty, I think the whole thing will get several applications of Howard’s Feed n’ Wax.

Such great reading/education material, thank you Smitty.

Will the pulls look as flashy / thickly painted as the example?

Seriously cool looking cabinet coming together Smitty.

Besides the great work with hand tools, I love that goose neck desk lamp you are using!
My parents inherited the same lamp from my grandparents and we used it on top of the piano back in the 60’s when I had to take piano lessons! Wonder how old it is?

Looks very cool. I am in the process of making one of my own.

One question I have is why you went with the library pulls? I have a nail cabinet my dad made and he just wrote on each drawer what was in there. In fact there are still blue tacks in the blue tacks drawer, and special screws in the special screws drawer.

Thanks for the update and the hardware link Smitty. Nice prices on that site.
What screws are you going to use for the pulls?

visual, I’ve decided to not write on the drawer fronts. Instead, I’ll put a piece of card stock in the pull slot, then hot-glue an example of what’s in the drawer to the front. I’m a visual guy.

Duck, I got screws from here (slotted, of course):

And they’ll be some of the contents of the cabinet when it’s done.

Pictures and deeper presentation to come, but I’m now re-thinking the plan to apply external framing to this crate… I like it the way it is, nice and simple! Question is, how to attach a door? And, is it rigid enough as-is? Finally, how best to mount it to the wall “sans crating?”

Always lovely to see woodworking with no rocket involved.
Just hands and wood.
Thanks.
Best thoughts,

Drawer making underway. One down, fifteen more to go with this step.

Note For File: Gang cutting thin stock yields more control / better results.
