[QUOTE="Clavdivs, post: 3571514, member: 93702"]Quick update... [ATTACH=full]951436[/ATTACH] On the left side of the cabinet I decided to go with larger drawers ..so made some drawer fronts and will use my Lighthouse style trays.. as so: [ATTACH=full]951441[/ATTACH] Still need to trim them in, paint, finish and make them look nice. Sticking with the original thin drawers for the right side.. as so: [ATTACH=full]951442[/ATTACH] Still need to paint, finish and add red felt to those. So overall there will be 58 drawers total and the final cabinet will hold between 926 - 1026 coins... final number depends on the size of the compartments in the remaining Lighthouse trays I order. Would love to hit 1000 coins in capacity - just sounds cool! Progress has been slow due to the sheer amount of drawers.. when I make a change or adjustment I am doing it many, many times. Like that thin plywood - cutting out the coin holes was a lot of work (a serious amount of time consuming, mind numbing work!) [ATTACH=full]951448[/ATTACH] But most of that grunt work is behind me now and I can see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel.... The final cabinet will be extended on both sides with book shelves.. the external color and finish will be decided by the wife and the kids have requested that a phone charging station be included somehow! Anyway I will show this again when major changes take place. Cheers![/QUOTE]
