They were once used to hold letters for magnetic signs that you would see at churches, or convention centers... a technology that has fallen to those lit board displays, fat pink markers... The following is an idea I had for how to use these boxes-as drawers in a cabinet. A sheet of plywood-also available at the resource center-and you have yourself a nice cabinet. The boxes are very shallow, about 2 inches, so they would have to hold something small, maybe papers, folders, a collection of some kind, bugs, or maybe the collection could be based on the parameters set by the box. A collection of things exactly this size?<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6011/2817/1600/drawer%20box%20cabinet.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6011/2817/320/drawer%20box%20cabinet.jpg" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26871854-114599845013503380?l=materialexchange.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>material exchangehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08154305581179381002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871854.post-1145911266325936002006-04-24T13:30:00.000-07:002006-04-25T14:12:16.766-07:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6011/2817/1600/train%20station%20bench.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6011/2817/320/train%20station%20bench.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6011/2817/1600/bench%20leg%20detail.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6011/2817/320/bench%20leg%20detail.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6011/2817/1600/train%20bench%202.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6011/2817/320/train%20bench%202.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Wood with marble footings.<br />$1,000.00<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Salvaged from a chicago train station.
