Default Cats

I love cats much more than dogs always have two cats somewhere near me in the house. They are to good to be a measurement device

That's what I figured, how many do you want if they are free?

Does that include all the metal bracing, hinges and power socket?

Fortunately I have two originals but I wouldn't mind finding two more. But before I had any, a very good friend and cabinet maker had made four exact replicas for himself. I asked him if he would make me some, and even at the very best 'mates rates' he said he would need £200 each. There is just so much work in these. My WS11 station set up should have four 6V boxes. At the moment I have two 6V and one 12V. I'm happy to swap 12V boxes for 6V. Ron

I don't think the wooden boxes have a power outlet or plug, the ones I have, have notches for wires to pass through.
Finding the hardware is the issue.
Templates for the lettering and the wax finish are not too big a hurdle.

Re:$50ea perhaps Ikea carries them.

Mine have sockets. Here is one of the drawings I have and an original picture. Far more to these than you would think.

I have no agenda with this......it's simply a discussion. $200CND is about £120. The hardware produced by a professional would probably double that figure. That's why these things are best done in batches. The hardware includes:- The sliding lifting handles, hinges, metal strip round edges to protect the mortice joints, socket and plate and lid catch.
These pictures and full set of drawings were supplied to me years ago by another forum member and I'm happy to share them with others. Ron
