Project Information

Pie Safe with a secretary style desk on top. Made from Pine, stained and finished with lacquer. I included a stained glass pen holder and box to hold 4" x 6" cards. Just put it in the coffee shop and hope it finds a home as quickly as the other one did.

I had a issue with the last pie safe I made. When I punched the tins for the door panels, each hole left a sharp edge on the inside. I ended up covering the inside of each tin with a piece of thin pine to cover the hole edges. When making these tins I used a spring loaded hole punch, the spring was strong enough to make a nice indention in the tin, but not strong enough to make a hole completely through the tin. And the spring hole punch made the process of punching the tins go a lot faster.

Did this pie safe already have the secretary attached? You did a lovely job on it.

I attached the secretary style desk after I had built the pie safe base. The last pie safe I made was larger and I made a hutch that sat on top of it and I wanted something a bit different this time.

Very pretty and functional project! Like the design and the stain. I'm sure it will find a great home.
