My DH just completed building me a portable storage cabinet for some of my threads. I thought I would share with you.

Each side is 14" wide and 30" high
It is constructed using 1 1/2" x 3/4" boards the shelving units are the same, and the posts are
1/4" dowling and they sit 1 3/4" above their shelf - each of the shelves are 3" apart from the shelf above and below.
The backing is made from cabinet back boards. He also put a soft handle on the top for easy carrying. It has two hinges so it folds in half. All the shelves tilt to put on the thread and easy to take them off as well.

Needs fastener still to keep it closed - going looking for that tomorrow.

We travel a lot in our RV, so I can store it in the closet while travelling.

Thanks for looking.

What a clever, practical gift. He was really using his head on this one, and it should be an add in to all RVs.

great job, wow, love it

Wow, you have a talented DH! Enjoy it!

Wow! Talented hubby, and great cabinet!

these were actually made at the turn of the last century. Made to sit beside a ladies chair. I have seen some very nice antique ones.
how did he make so that the bars tilt?

Needs some BLING now..ehhehe

WOW - he could go into business making those. I'd order one. Nice job.

:thumbup: Great job!

Wow! Looks lovely! What a thoughtful gift. I can imagine a market for these.

What a talented DH you have! I'm going to show this to my DH & hint what I want for Christmas. I can see the eyes rolling already!!

Lucky you having a handy DH. He did a great job. Love the idea.

what a great idea, he's a keeper.

Okay that is really cool!! Your hubby is such a keeper!
He really needs to go in to business for himself making these things for people - if he hasn't already!

How cool...I see many orders in your DH's future ;)

I would order one for me and 1 for my aunt.

What a great husband you have. He did a great job on it.

I just bought an antique one love it

Wonderful!

That is an awesome thread carrier.
