    Default Recently completed "Rotating Bolt Cabinet"

    Photos of my recently completed Rotating Bolt Cabinet. A reproduction of late 19th and early 20th century hardware store bolt cabinet that rotates for easy access to the contents. This cabinet has 72 drawers in the upper (rotating) cabinet and 12 drawers in the bottom stationary cabinet. The upper cabinet rotates on a heavy duty lazy susan bearing. While this cabinet does store bolts it also stores other hardware such as plumbing and electrical parts for my home maintenance and shop projetcs. The construction material is ash milled from trees grown on my property which had succumbed to the Emerald Ash Borer and I had taken down and milled into lumber. Thanks for looking.

    Hi,
    Fantastic!
    The Mrs has ideas along that line for sewing gear, she saw some thing in China that she has been explaining (hinting) to me.
    Nice first post, I was going to say welcome to the forum till I saw your join date and realized I do not have to tell you anything about us, you've been a member longer than me, do not be a stranger in the future.
    Regards
    Hugh

    Enough is enough, more than enough is too much.

    That's one way of having things sorted.

    You have done an amazing job on making this. I am guessing that this is a reasonably tall cabinet.

    Attached are a few more pictures of the cabinet during construction, although the sequence of pictures is backwards. The last picture shows an original bolt cabinet my wife and I saw at an antique sale a couple of years back. Lacking any measurement tool I used a dollar bill in the front of the drawer to provide some scale. This became my guide. The drawers in the upper cabinet are 8" wide by 4" high by 8" deep. The bottom drawers are the same width and height but 12" deep. The cabinet is approximately 54" high. The lower portion is approximately 10" high and the top rotating portion is approximately 51" high. The cabinet is mounted on 3" diameter metal casters. Thanks for the comments.
