Pu-Erh Cabinet build.
Posted: Feb 22nd, '12, 23:54
I'm going to build myself a cabinet for my counter top for my daily brewing convenience and if it works out i think i'm going to build a few more to try to sell.
mine will have 2 doors, probably be about two feet tall, have about 5 drawers that will each fit standard sized cakes on the right...on the left, perhaps two larger drawers, one for a brick or two and the other for miscellaneous tuos etc. the drawers will take up the bottom half of the cabinet and above will be a shelf for utensils, pots, etc.
some of you may know the cabinet builder Krenov. i'm thinking they will be similar to his style, on a smaller scale.
does anyone have any advice or ideas on what would make the perfect cabinet for them? i'm thinking this cabinet will not really be for storage, as much as a daily service cabinet. maybe storage cabinets will come next. does anyone have ideas on how the drawers should be built...i'm thinking of doing them humidor style...raw interiors...any ideas for wood that wouldn't interfere with the cakes? i'm thinking the drawers will pull all the way out with a hole cut out of one corner so you can tear into the cake while it's in the drawer and then pour it through the corner. also, let me know if you've seen anything similar anywhere.
