Hello all,
You've seen these at hobby shops and some hardware stores, they are the multi cubby hole cabinets, open sided, rather deep, with the strip stock mounted horizontally.
I'm wanting to build a very large one of these, tired of looking on craigslist for a store display to come up for sale and at this point, it wouldn't hold all that I have anyway. Mine will need around 350 to 450 cubbys... about 2"x2" openings and others about 3"x6" openings... the cabinet will be 36" deep.
I don't want to go the easy route, (i.e. gluing a bunch of square or round mailing tubes all together) as this is going in my restoration shop and I would very much like to make this look rather old-fashioned. I'm fine with using the brown chipboard that's around 1/8" thick for most of the interior cubby wall construction, but I will build the exterior in oak.
Does anyone have an established method of making something like this? Or have seen plans before for something similar?
Thank you!
Jason
