I saw this at a local Antique Mall and kind of fell in love with it. The asking price is exorbitant, IMHO, but it really is pretty awesome and some day, I hope to build something similar. The first pic is kind of dark and doesn't really do it justice, but it's octagonal and spins, lazy susan style.

How long do you imagine it would take for you to build a replica? Engraved drawer faces and all? Add shop space cost, finish and supplies.

Very cool unique cabinet. IMHO well priced. Unless it isn't in good shape? Great find. I look forward to seeing your version of it someday.

Thanks for sharing!

Interesting perspective, Jacquelyn. I always undervalue my time. (In fact, I never factor it in at all.) I definitely would not engrave the drawer fronts. Much more functional, I think, to use those little metal frames where you just write on a card (or print them on a computer to make them look nice) and insert it into the metal frame. Granted, that would detract from the vintage look, but that's not the main appeal (it's the functionality) to me anyway.
