Small cupboard plan???

Santalum · #1 21st Mar 2007, 05:29 PM

Well folks, here's the situation, I recently made up a bench top for my PC from laminated Oregon, 1600mm x 800 x approx 35 mm thick, French polished it with Ubeaut hard shellac, it's a bloody work of art even if I do say so myself

well it's not bad anyway

The plan was to buy a couple of timber finish filing cabinets to use as supports either end to bring the bench to a working height of about 750mm and complete the project.
So, off to Adelaide the other day to buy the cabinets and wouldn't ya know it any thing that is remotely suitable has a ticket of around $350 per unit

and I ain't parting with $700 for a couple of table legs

So to the title of this post, does anyone have a simple plan for a small filing cabinet size cupboard they are prepared to pass on, my wood working skills are pretty basic though I do have some power tools, Triton saw, mitre saw, sanders etc.
Anyway the plan now is to find some more old Oregon and make up a couple of the required units, of course I am open to idea's and suggestions.

Jon.

Thanks for the reply Bob, what I'm looking for is a simple small cupboard plan, with my limited skills I feel it would be easier to build than a filing cabinet.
Have Googled it but not come up with much, maybe considered too basic,
Jon.
