<p>[QUOTE="jb_depew, post: 3449659, member: 88227"]Very nice. I've converted a couple of old cabinets into coin cabinets. I find that it's easy to cut and glue strips of masonite to the drawer bottoms to create the coin pockets, over which you can spray glue felt (use a bone folder like you'd use in book binding to work the felt into the corners). I like how the wool felt offers a little grip so your coins don't go flying if you open the drawer too fast. Repurposing old cabinets alleviates the issue with off-gassing of fresh wood that some indicate is an issue with new construction. I've heard some use mahogany for this reason. If I remember I'll snap some pics of my cabinet conversions later today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
