New Sewing Machine Cabinet...

My wonderful husband is turning into a very fine cabinet maker! I wanted a sewing cabinet made to fit my studio. I can sew at one end and there is a place to store my (4) sewing machines, plus other stuff, under the cutting end. It will be on casters so I can move it - although I don't really have the space to put it anywhere but where it will be.
At any rate, I just went out to see his new contraption that is sort of like a vise that he's using to hold the wood straight up so that he can construct the drawers and it hit me: "Why have I not been photographing this?" (He's pretty pleased with this new vise idea. It is pretty slick, and very simple.)
So, here's the cabinet in progress. I'll upload a photo of it in place in my studio soon (in 2-3 days he thinks). I'm really going to be sad when he has to quit with the projects and go back to his real work on campus.
FYI - We are just about done with the studio remodel. I'm waiting on the blinds before I take another photo. The outside part is very close to being done. I hope to be able to upload finished photos soon.
