My Pen chest to beat all pen chests

[Brian Anderson]

Wow, this was a 2005 topic  Who revived this old topic? 

There was This Thread about storage that revived this thread.

 

Where is it you live again and is your home secluded enough for a SUV to approach and leave unseen?

 

Ummm.... a deserted, secluded island somewhere in the South Pacific?

 

 

As a sometimes cabinetmaker/woodworker I must say you did a wonderful job restoring the printers cabinet. I love the look of the natural wood. My wife only wishes she could have such a cabinet for the few Esties she has.

Of course if she had a fine cabinet like that, she would have to buy more pens to fill it. biggrin.gif

 

Great job on a beautiful piece of furniture,

 

Funny thing is when I didn't have as much room I was forced to sell off pens that just didn't physically fit in the case. Now I find I have a number of 51's (not a huge fan fo them) HR pens and the like I would have otherwise sold off.

13 months very well spent- truly an enviable piece of work.

[cmeisenzahl]

Great work, and collection!

[maryannemoll]

that is one gorgeous chest!

 

i just had a chuckle over something that you said. you suspected that the chest was used in a school because it had obscenities written all over it.

 

how come i can feel the truth to this observation?

 

that said, let me congratulate you on the chest. that is truly a work of beauty, and a labor of love.

nice collection and case

I know this is an old thread, but I have to add, what a labour of love. Really makes me grin.

Had missed this thread the first time around, too. Wow! I had to look twice at the before and after photos. I originally thought that the case was made of metal, what with all that old grey-blue paint. What a lovely restoration job and a fitting home for your FPs. Strong work!

Good job in getting all the rest of us thinking about the actual size of pen chest we're going to need one day. I'm beginning to think along the lines of the vast storage rooms full of floor to ceiling specimen trays like the ones at the Smithsonian Institution.

[Pepin]

I approve.

[jonro]

You did a beautiful job on that chest, Brian. How did you fill the gap from the missing drawer?

[Deirdre]

I think you have the same drop-down Levenger pen holder that I do.

 

Beautiful chest!

[ExcaliburZ]

[Imzadi]

Stunning!! (Insert thumbs up smiley here)

As someone wise once said:

 

One Pen Chest to rule them all, One Pen Chest to find them, One Pen Chest to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

 

Congratulations!!
