I just completed this pen chest this morning. Been meaning to <s>purchase </s> build one for some time and I can finally say it's off my chest (pun intended:D) The design is completely "borrowed" from the link below and if you see the asking price you'll know why I just couldn't $pring to purcha$e one.

Wow! That's a great piece of work.

Edit: Took a look at the link. Almost choked at the one grand, plus price. That would be for some serious pen collector. Not for us poor guys trying to make a buck selling pens we make.
 
Excellent work Peter....I can see one in my future as well...Might need to Borrow this idea..

Looking at the box at the link (not yours Peter) they really went cheap on the quality of the hardware for the hinges, look at those cheesy piano hinges, I just bought the same ones for $2 each!!
 
Peter, you did a fantastic job on that chest. I saw that website awhile back and decided that I wanted to build one, you may be the motivation to finally get it done.
 
VERY nice Peter!!![:)][:)][:)] I like your chest!![:p][:p][:p] Are you going to start selling them for the same price as the other guy?[:D] How many pens does it hold? Your whole collection?

The sides and bottom based are sapelle. The (5) drawers and bottom tray are made out beech along with the framed top cap.

Anthony, the dimensions are basically those that are given in the original link

Construction is straight forward and not complicated at all. If there is any aspect that you want clarified send an e-mail and I'll do my best to answer any question.

The chest holds a total of sixty (60) pens. Each of the five drawers holds an even dozen. The sixth and bottom tray comes in handy for holding items such as business cards and misc. items. Approximately half of my current collection is now in the chest. Oh well, there's always tomorrow to get more things <s>off</s> in another chest[;)]

Oops! Sorry didn't know that was what the link was referring to. Yea, it does look prettty straight forward, but I've not gotten my flat stuff to look as good as what you've done.
