A mate wants me to build him a storage cabinet. Some design features include:
I'd be grateful for any comments on the design. The bottom two drawers are locked by a rod that slides through the carcass and the drawer fronts. The bottom of the door has a slot to accommodate the locking rod, so it won't be possible to open the drawers unless the top door is open and the rod removed. The top door will have its own lock.
The door is frame and raised panels. The primary wood could be Blackwood with secondary wood being tassie oak or pine.
Some questions:
How much will the timber cost?
Can the locking arrangements be improved without adding too much complexity?
any suggestions for other timbers?
any suggestions for general design improvements?
- Two-drawer base
- separable top cabinet with drawers and adjustable shelves
- hanging space in cabinet door
- lockable
