pen blank storage cabinet

[anthonyd]

Here is a cabinet I just finished to store all of my pen blanks. The carcase is from the clearance section of Ikea which I purchased for $24 a few years ago. The drawers are made from pine cutoffs and Hardy board left over from the construction of my shed. The drawer fronts are made from MDF scrap I had laying around. The drawers can hold two layers of blanks.

Excellent cabinet! I bet that was a fun project.

Thanks Mark. It did not take long and was easy to make. The painting of the drawer fronts took the longest but overall it was a lot of fun and I was happy with how it turned out.

I love the idea, I just don't know where I would put the 10 cabinets to hold most of my blanks.

Thanks Mike. You have that many blanks?

Thanks Mike. You have that many blanks?

Unfortunately. More than that many.

Very nice. Looks like a great way to organize your blanks so you can since the different colors and designs at one time. Thanks for sharing.

I've seen a few guys using these for tools. Look like it would make a great blank cabinet.

I have been watching for some of these. Unfortunately the day my wife said "hey somebody has a cabinet for sale for $25" it didn't click and I said not interested. They are getting more difficult to find and even used ones can be expensive.
