Richard,

This is an amazing piece -- of course, I like seeing your other projects too -- very talented and you have a great eye for design and finish.  Thanks for sharing.

Vindingo,

Here's the finished piece with the Brusso knobs and legs finished with Danish oil.

Brusso make these knobs in two sizes- these are the larger ones. I love their hardware, the tolerances are minute. And an honourable mention must go out to the Festool imperial drill bits- obviously I was nervous about drilling through the finished doors, but these drill bits cut such a clean hole there's nothing to worry about. I dropped in a drop of contact cement but the knobs just went in with a pressure fit- that's how precise the knobs and the holes were.

I went to such trouble to get the legs all even, and then discovered the floor was not! Hence the mat under the back right leg!

And now the dirty secret- this cabinet was made for my wife's handbag collection! They are all designer bags, and she keeps them in their protective cloth bags. I measured the various bags to get rough shelf heights. If you thought a Festool addiction was expensive, you ain't seen nothing yet...

The pulls fit perfectly and look amazing.  It is definitely the kind of piece I would have to run my hand across every time I walked by it.   


Don't you love that feeling right before you drill a hole in a finished door?

I felt like I did the moment just before I jumped out of a plane!
