Great Idea. I'd probably buy one too...Well, except for the fact that I've got small kids. It needs a lock, and some sort of protection for non-graded stuff, as many people have a little of both, and will generally keep both graded and non-graded together for sorting purposes. When it comes to non graded cards, I'm not too keen on someone putting drinks, pretty much, right on top of my cards.

Thanks guys! I made this one about 10 years ago, and my woodworking has gotten a lot better since then.
The dividers are a removeable insert, so it could be made to hold both graded and ungraded or postcards with a change of insert. I could probably figure inserts for other stuff too. Or moveable dividers. Some protection against spills like a gasket or something could be done, although I've never had a spill bad enough to run around the overhang. I wouldn't rely on it as a hiding place. The upper section is a lot taller than almost any other end table. It sort of stands out that way, one of the things I wasn't happy with aesthetically. For a shippable version I was thinking of a drawer and removeable legs. That would get the package size down to something manageable. Right now the workshop has no heat. I've done a bit of woodworking in the cold, and it's not much fun. A nice 25 degrees out right now, better than the -5 yesterday. I'll also have to see how much time the baby allows me. (I'm a stay at home dad) I'll probably figure out how much the wood costs and see about making a few over the summer. I had my old price calculations inside, but like any other 10 year old price they didn't seem accurate. Steve B |

That is really cool and i agree it would be a great place to hide stuff in because if anyone breaks into your house im sure the last thing they are gonna do is check if the end tables have any secret compartments.

Different lots, different manufacturing plants , stuff like that. You can get color mismatches and even width/thickness mismatches. And they aren't good about refunds/returns etc. Steve B |
