no . .but she has more shoes than a family of centipedes.

Naw. . I'm just kiddin' honey!

(she's actually very shoe sensible)

Dave R

Centipedes. Now that's funny. Even if it isn't true.

Well, the client decided on fixed shelves and slab doors instead so that's what they get.

Probably a better use of the interior volume but I like the tilt out door better.

Dave. . that is a neat piece of furniture. I like the pull down door option but I could go both ways.

Dave R

Thanks David. I agree with you.

I designed it for solid wood but it could be done in plywood or veneered MDF with a solid wood face frame and door parts. The back is made of slats but could be easily modified to beadboard. The door panel could also be replaced with beadboard. Slab doors don't thrill me too much but the piece is narrow enough that I think two frame and panel doors might look a little odd.

Nice work Dave,I like the first one better tho.

Dave R

Thanks Kurt. I know what you mean but the client is always right.

Now if you could draw/show me how to build the shoe rack from the movie Overboard from the 80's i'd be eternally grateful

Now I know why that shoe spammer I have just banned came here...

Dave R

Shall I change the word "shoe" to something else? Maybe I could change it to "aardvark". There's probably not as many aardvark spammers as there are shoe spammers.

Gaieus

Hehe...

It was a complete idiot anyway. Just look at the link he posted - it does not work (unless you change the initial zero to o).

No way. These idiots are caught by the system anyway. Each day I start with going through all the not yet approved posts and checking out spammers and spambots anyway (this morning I have had 6 already)

But now let's get back to the shoe store(-age)

(Nice spam trap BTW)

Dave R

Well, I'm glad to help even if I had no idea I was doing so.

I just heard from the client. He likes the final design and thinks it should be an easy build. He said he'd send photos when it is finished. I'll try to post them here to show the "after".
